Notices of meetings or functions where admission is charged must be paid for Street-corner belittling of fraternal bodies seems to haye become a habit in this town. Not that this criticism is of any real consequence in itself, except indicating on the part of those making it an ignorance of the value of these organizations in our midst, and of the fine principles they try to incal- cate into their members, It is true that the privileges of fraternal affiliations are often abused, occasional individuals joining for purely selfish reasons—commercial leverage, job-getting, protection, and so on—but the majority of memberships in all the well-known orders are made up of men and women actuated by the sincerest of impulses towards fraternal fellowship. To, these persons, the ‘‘lodge’’ offers more than social intercourse, & standard of honesty and morality nec- essary for the welfare of civilization. Whether in big cities or here in Ab- botsford, Matsqui or smaller settlements, the presence of fraternal organiza- tions is an elevating and bettering influence, second only to the churches, where it does not actually fill the place of orthodox Christianity in the lives of many individuals. ‘*Men without a religion’’ find in these brotherhoods at least moral codes, conducive to their welfare, which they certainly make an effort, if not always successful, to live up to. And what appears to criti- cal observers as a clannish discrimination by these ib favoring one an- other in all their activities—sociay personal or commercial—is based upon this mutual understanding:—confidence that every action will be goyerned by that one essential ethic paramount in lodge, as in all activities—honesty. That lodges assert their own discipline when this trust is violated is evident to the discerning in our midst- Quite as effective as suspension or expulsion for flagrant breach of law, is the ‘understood’ boycott by members upon those abusing its privileges. Standing midway between the Church and the Law, is the Fraternal Order, with hands reaching both ways. Criticising a lodge or its members for so being is attacking one of the most powerful moralizing forces for the betterment of human conditions to-day. There is room in Abbotsford for a branch of every one of the reputable fraternnl organizations, and nobody can be a member of too many. Se = John F. Cunningham, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Ohio State University, had occasion a few weeks ago to address a meeting of daily newspaper editors, and he told them some things we’d like every citizen to know. Here’s what he said to the editors of the big daily newspapers of the land: ‘There was a time during which the small-town newspaper seemed to be smothering under the increasing circulation of the big city dailies. The city daily does not and cannot devote space to matters of immediate inter- ~ est to those in small towns and on the farms. While the great wall of news that confronts us is made up of stones and bricks furnished by the big city papers, the chinks and the cement will ever be furnished by the little home- ** * town paper’s news for nearby communities. ‘Every town owes it to itself to encourage a good, enterprising, wide- awake, progressive newspaper. Such publications are worth far more to the town than the town usually realizes. By supporting the home-town paper 1 mean not only subscribing to it and reading it, but also helping it to get the news, by using it as a medium of public discussion, and by patronizing its ad- yertising columns. In too many inatances the good local paper is taken as a matter of course—about as we consider the act of eating when mealtime comes. The town which does not properly support its local paper is a pretty barren place. see As a general rule your neighbors in Abbotsford are not out to hurt your feelings or to ‘*get you riled.’? Most of our anger and irritation is due to putting the wrong kind of construction on words and acta which do not exist. Don’t walk around with a chip on your shoulder, and don’t always be looking for a double-meaning in everything that is said to you. You'll be much hap- pier if you get it into your head that nobody is going to deliberately stick nor make fun of you merely for the pleasure and pins into you, or insult you, entertainment they can get out of it. You know that you are very careful not to say things to hurt the feelings of others, so be broad-minded enough to believe that others are just like yourself in this respect—that they, too, don’t want to make anyone feel badly when there is no occasion for it. Don’t be touchy. You can’t make friends if you are and what’s worse, you can’t keep the ones you have very long. .
