(On S.T. better read that as “leaders of our two great parties”.) The PM was rumored to be sounding election sentiment in the west but said at the PNE that he was just there for an exhibition opening; while Dief is on a foray into Quebec looking for ANY opening. P.C.V. Class A. C, and H Toronto’s Mayor Givens has proclaimed that the opening of their city hall will start a party lasting for the three years to Canada’s Centennial in 1967 . . . Well, there goes 01’ Nate Phillips’ chan- ces for perpetuity: After a three-year party every- body will be calling his baby “I:Iangover Square”. That northern health service doctor who called Health Minister Judy LaMarsh a “dough-head” in a recent speech at Frobisher Bay has been taken to task by his superiors. This is quite understandable because, around Ottawa, Finance Minister Walter Gordon is considered to be the dough head.

There are at present several agencies in town all working individually to meet the social and welfare needs of the com- munity. While the contact among these agencies is a posi- tive one, it is not regular enough to prevent overlapping in the work. This is where the services of the youth counsellor could be of inestimable value, by blending all these services continuously and systematically 1thus preventing \ overlapping. iThis method would insure ‘speedier and more effective results. The counsellor should be one who’ has patience and time. He should never be hurried. He should be paid an adequate salary. It will be money well spent when we see the parents and children learning what true discipline means. MRS. M.

'18 16th Avenue 884-7645 49 Hunt Avenue I More To Water Divining (Continued From Page 2) much thought in favor of Witching, for example:- “In 1954 the RCA Victor Com- pany decided to locate a five million dollar plant in New Jersey. Adequate water sup- ply was a problem. Geolo- gists located several wells without producing more than one hundred gallons per minute. A dowser was cal- led in. He spotted two wells producing over 300 gallons per minute . . . ‘the best wells that were located in northern New Jersey'. ‘Some of our electricians' the ar- ticle read, ‘attached a volt Rambling Around (Continued from Page 2) energy would allow, and the housewife couldn’t get her wash dry on the line. Now the question on everybody's mind is how much is due to man's inventive genius. We have been hearing about those rain making machines down in Quebec and in Ontario. Perhaps we’ve got to the stage when we can make rain but aren’t advanced enough to turn if off at will. I have a feeling that they shouldn’t be monkeying with the weather any- way. It’s bad enough to think about atomic warfare but think if we had to start building arks for our- selves. I still love cottage life, make no mistake about that. But somehow I’m disappointed. Where is all this magic I used to tell you about? Is the magic gone out of me or can I really believe what I see? The other day, as I looked out on the eternally beautiful bay stretching into the lake to where the islands were strung like amulets on a chain, I couldn’t help feeling, that though the visual beauty appeared to be intact, there was an atmosphere lacking. This summer, there has been a dearth of tourists. They are not here in droves to swell the summer popula- tion. Other years seemed to bring more evidence of fishing boats anchored peacefully here and there, motor launches rushed about with no destination in view and so far there have been no sail boats tacking about. In other words, no life on the bay. Only the cottagers are holding the fort. Somehow if you own a cottage, you feel obliged to go to it. I’m sighing for something else too. Everything is getting so quietly civilized up here that it is painful. Why is it that something in us mourns the loss of the primitive, when we know from experience that a primitive life is hard. Nevertheless I cannot forget the first heady excitement of planting a cabin in a lakeside wilderness. How the smells and odors of the woodland excited me and set my imagination spinning. There Is Nothing Surer Than Change Now that the cottage has hydro, the washing machine, refrigerator and other electrical equipment followed in due course. The only thing that reminds me of my pioneer cottage days is the wood burning cookstove where one still has to set out kindling the night before, and make frequent trips to the wood pile. More and more, the empty lots along my side of Eagle Lake are being filled up. The sound of the chain saw rips through the atmosphere. The pic- turesque little cottage road that made driving such a pleasure because of its roller coaster effect has been replaced by a wide straight road leading from the main highway. There are no more corners Where you have to hold your breath as if expecting to see another car looming suddenly up in front of you. In fact, it has become just a road, a thing of utility. The more I think about the wild animals, the more I conclude that they are smarter in the things of the spirit than we are. Animals seem to be. happy with what they are given and never worry about what is being withheld. They love to live and take no foolish chances. They take care of themselves and don’t go on spreess ‘ The wild life is retreating. It is a. sad reflec- tion on humans that the wild life sees fit to hide from them almost entirely. Even those of us who love to watch for their appearance are treated with the same disdain. Animals take time to rest, but do we? We rush so much that when we stop, we are afraid of being accused of loafing'. Animals relax regularly every- day, and this makes them fit to accept whatever the future brings. I like and would imitate the way in which wild creatures do not abandon themselves to panicky fears, to long fits of dejection and a vain dwelling on the past. I love the way they enjoy the night and the day. They capture the joy of the moment because they do not live in the past, and though con- cerned for the future do not show evidences of worrying about it. They live close to nature and its healing influences. I cannot help thinking that the farther we get away from the primitive and the natural, the unhappier we get. Perhaps that is why one sighs when civilization advances too fast. It brings new fears, mistrust and a general lack of love. Perhaps that is why even now there is a mighty move for change in the world. Yet having once lived the past and enjoyed it, I wouldn’t recall it even if I could. We have come to need so many of the things that our civilization has given us, but we must learn to remain sane in spite of it. We always have to go back and find again that wild life preserve, even if only in our minds. It is here where we can be fully honest, shed pretenses and reject hoarding and status seek- ing and cultivate instead a deep respect for the privilege of just being alive; ‘- Out on the highway, the motor cars roar, Gone is the peace and the quiet of yore, When a man walked and enjoyed the land, And took his ease with a staff in his hand And a dog at his heels. Now geared to the highway’s steady hum, The cars rush by. On, on, they come. The man must stand way off to the side Helpless against the oncoming tide, Wiping the dust from his face. So far must he go from the busy highway, Still farther to find that quiet byway, For a man needs to enjoy the land, And take his ease with a. staff in his hand And a dog at his heels. Man And The Highway meter cord to the dowslng rod, and it registered a defin- ite flow of current'." The Bristol-Myers Company had a similar experience. Scien- tific or otherwise, the man of the divining rod is com- parable to "Johnny Apple- seed” who ranged through Ohio spreading apple seeds and thus gave embryonic birth to the orchards of another generation. The man who locates a source of water also contributes to the wealth of a countryside. The writer of the article in “True” magazine relates his experiences in France as they concern water divining. It is big business of a sort there, and Is called radles- thesia, meaning a capturing of radiations emanating from water or mineral sources. Dowsing apparatus sold In France includes pendulum: as well as forked sticks; the pendulum starts swinging when it is held over the source of water. Daniel Ma‘nnix who men- tions this fact in his article. was asked if “this business" could be proven scientifical- ly. The following quote is his: "In 1953 Unesco gave a grant to a committee of prominent European scient- ists ‘to study ravdiesthesia and the committee reported: ‘there is no doubt that it is a fact' the Academie des Sciences de Paris has said: ‘it is impossible to deny the existence of the power al- though its nature cannot be determined'. Dowsing has been endorsed by five Nobel prize winners. Over seven hundred books in various languages have been written on the subject." Students who are looking for a study project would be well advis- ed to gather their own re- search on this highly inter- esting topic. The subject of locating a source of water inevitably leads to interesting observa- tions. In this respect a pro* ject as prosaic and devoid of sentimental appeal as a trunk sewer has its poetical side. Several summers ago a visitor could walk up the Don valley and gaze down- wards into a wide trench dug in readiness for the concrete sections of sewer pipe. This trench had been excavated the full length of the East Valley of the Don. Also, it had opened every vein of water along its route. Thus, a casual hiker could see at a glance what no one else had ever seen before him. Some of these veins of water forced their way to the sur- face and today, an innocent, and one would believe “time- honored" bulrush pond with its a1 pendages of aquatic and pond life xls as recent as yes- terday. Often I hhve wished when digging in the garden on a hot day that I eould be sud. denly rewarded With a re. lease of gushing spring wat- er, rich in the proml§e o! the watercress and ‘mfit that would grow along its tiny shores. It would be a sheer joy to own such a stream twelve months a year: in winter when its musical gurgling would be heard he- neath the lacy ice; in sum- mer when the solemn tlnkl- ing notes heard on a drowsy summer day would echo the nostalgic notes of the wood pee wee. Alas, no such mir- acle was ever performed for me on ‘my holdings’; all I ever dug up with my Ipado was a languid old toad bur- rowing into the deep gard- en soil on its journey into hibernation. But the brook of my dreams does exist elsewhere, and many times repeated along favorite woodland paths. Thoreau once wrote that he was a collector of snow storms. and I believe that he had been a collector of brooks as well. An ardent hiker could not fail to do otherwise. Our Metropolitan Toronto region is still a hinterland of secluded, charming sources .of water which have up to now been kept from the despoilers' hands. There comes to mind the humble stream in the Vivian Forest whose flow was renewed when the forest cover had been restored; the watercress-draped brook on Dr. Van Nostrand‘s place; the quickly-flowing brook on Gene Colquette's former haven; the water pouring from between the stones at Glen Hefty; the upper Duf- fln Creex, sylvan, clear, full and vocal as it flows over the stones at Glen Major. To- day, when our senses are al- ready dulled to exploration: in orbit, a brook has much to recommend it. Jules Payot remembered from his boy- hood days lthat the brook through his father's orchard was to him a world of boy- hood dreams. When talk turns to sources of water, my thoughts invari- ably revert to that Septem- ber day of yesteryear when my late father. all intent on the proceedings. and willing to swear by Frank Hill's art, watched the forked branch plunge downwards. To repeat some say witching or dows- ing is non-scientific and per- haps this is so, but the fact remains that to all appear- ances Frank Hill produced through it a source of water which served us well. My father has long since passed away. The cottage site, and the well are entombed for- ever uuder the macadam of the Don Valley Parkway. Nevertheless it is consoling to know that the water is still there. again undisturbed in the virginal habitat from which we had brought it to light during that autumn of so long ago. * Mr. Sauriol does not reâ€" call whether Mr. Hill was touching him at the time the forked branch bent down- wards ln his hands.
