HIGHWAY NUISANCES

AMHERST. N. S.-(CP)-Among other highway menaces are the drivers who dump garbage along the main highway in Cumberland County. Unsightly piles of garb- age along the roadway led officials to warn that drastic action will be taken against offenders.

Strange But True

By P. H. lilu.Artbut

Governments, like clocks, go from the motion man give them, and every city (as well as every village) has groups, who are more eager to hear what Charlie McCarthy has to say than they are to learn that the troubled world situation might have to tell them. Such minds nccept our present chaotic world conditions, as they accept sunshine and rain, not realizing that civniz. ation is an achievement, a human achievement. which. if it is not to "M5" Utterly. must continuously be nursed on the milk of wisdom.

ft is obvious to everyone that some now in schools will, in a dec- ade or two from now be leaders in the field of theology. medicine, business. politics, and what have you. and that all of them wiu be voters in another ten years - un. less: of course. the ballot is sup- pressed as a result of our carelus attitude towards those things which are worthwhile and enduring.

T00 many of us have short mem- ories of our political history inter. woven with graft and other sins. But we point the finger of scorn at countries where this evil shows above the surface and imagine that. its peculiar to every nation but our own.

Do dates cause you trouble? It they do remember that dates gave trouble to the historians too For tiie Greeks reckoned time from the year we call 776 B.C.. the Romans. 11'0"! 753 110.. and the Babylonians from 747 BC. The matter is fur- ther complicated by the fact. that the Greeks began their year on Jilly l; the Romans. on January 1 for the civil year and March l for the religious year; and so on. Europe did not begin to reckon time from the advent of Christ until the

In ancient days as now. cereals formed the staple food. The com- mon cereals of the ancient woriri were barley and a variety of wheat called spelt. These. together with fish and vegetables. especially gar- lic. formed the main portion of the la.borer'a fare. Rich folk had a more varied diet. including truits. wine, honey and fowl.

It is interesting to note that only the rulers could wear colors. They also wore fine jewelry, and their wives and daughters painted their lips and cheeks and penciied their eyebrows and eyelids with a green pigment made from malachite. They wore beads of many sizes and colors, and used hairpins made oi ivory.

The more complex and elaborate our civilization becomes the more men put themselves in bondage. Yet if we should be forced to give up our comforts and conveniences we would be worse off than our forefathers were. who managed somehow without them. We need, therefore, to be constantly on guard to hang onto the civilization we have built up. lest it engulf us in disaster in which event we would be worse off than our early barbarous ancestors.

Civilization does not run by it- self. If it is to be maintained, men must be found to keep it going Economic matter have been import- ant factors in state affairs from the beginning. It must ever be the same as long as this old world lasts. Today we are passim through a. period of 'great financial struggle. a time of dire calamity. but we Canadians believe that our only chance of sirrvival is by hang- ing onto our democratic way of life.

Kali, India, is owned by one hun- clred- sons. all of one father. The family name is Haldra, and the I-faldra's have owned the place for three centuries.

India is marked among the pea-

ples of the world for her ignorance, her poverty, and her monstrous death rate. Much of the peoples physical weakness can be traced to child marriages. Take a girl of 12 years old, a pitiful physical speci- men. ignorant. without any sort of training in habits of health. Mo- therhood is forced upon her at the earliest possiblegmoment. Result: her offsprings are weaklings and by the time they are thirty years of age, they are decrepit and worn out human wrecks. Briefly, this is a picture of one-eighth of the hu- man race.

The Samariaiis wrote on claY tablets, using a reed cut square at the end. When held at an angle and pressed against the clay. this

writing pen made a wedize-Shaped dent; hence the writing is called cuneiform (from the latin cuneus nwedge"), To preserve these clay letters they were twice baktd then an envelope of clay W55 Mdedv and this too was baked. some of these curious old letters are preser- ved in the museum of Alexandria.

The Samarians were masters in the art of engraving stone and nietai surfaces. The U.S.A. anti other modern nations owe the eagle on their national coat of arms to mesa early artists of 5,000 years ago.
