¢<¢>co<n>co§co$>c - SPARE-TIRE PHILOSOPHY

I heard recently of an article that appeared in a popular mag. azlne entitled "Spare-Tire Re- ligion“ and ll was bright and sug- gestive. Motorists as a rule curly one 0r more spare-tires. so that if they happen to have a puncture or a blow-out they can fall back on one of these, and their journey need not he unduly hindered. The spare-tire is held in reserve, and is entirely forgotten lill a necd arises. The writer tried to show, and with some success. that there were those who looked upon re- ligion in that way. To thcm it is a sort of insurance which may come into use in an emergency. Of course it is well and in good form to keep up a speaking acquaintance with the church, so that at least when you die folk-may know to what. group you belong. But like the spare-tire, it is for the most part forgotten.

We have heard of "fox - hole rcliQon" calling on God when danger is nigh. Running for cover. We have heard too of those who said that religion ran in families, and it was quite natural for some people to care for the church.

The good driver fcels more coni- foriablc when he knows that lie has spare-tires available at short nolioc; s0 ihe religious man may feel as comfortable as did Montaigne when he was putting out his rabbages in his garden. if

death might touch him on ihe sleeve and bid him go at short notice. I-le said he wanted io

"have his bools on ihen"-i.hat is he had his spare-tire. It was a seven day a. week business not just something for Sundays.

But this idca is capable of much wider application. Are lhere not people who come to our aid in an emergency like a spare-tire? They are the “extra? people whom you may need any time and on whom you may depend.

For instance, we have known women in a village or some com- munity, who had been trained in nursing and were ready to make available to those in need, their skill in that profession. This in addition to their own household cares. What ani asset such a character is to a community! Then there is the man who busy though he be is always willing to help out when the need arises. Is it not visually the busy people who are willing to take on a little extra’!

This is admirably illustrated in that book of reconstruction — "Nehemiah". where we have the names of several who said that ‘lhey were willing to take an extra part of in, wall and these names have achieved immortality and when most of our monuments and tablets are gone to dust these names will bc read out in the church. ‘They "fcrgct themselves into immortality."

We have often heard people characterized thus: "You may de- pend on them" What better com- pliment could be paid any we that? It was that which Nelson called for when he said, "England expects every man lo do his dirty." The spare tire is an assistant or

MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS — With the advcni of ihe Mobile Chest. X-rriy Unit on Prince Ed- ward Island, all Canadian Nation- al Railway employees were urged to lake advantzigo of the oppor- tunity afforded, and while quite a large number availed themselves of this service. the results were not at all satisfactory. In an endeavor to have all employees so examined, the Canadian National

Railways took up through the proper channels with a. recom- mendation that this examination

be made available at no cost to the employee. This suggestion was concurred in and with the kind cooperation of the Tuberculosis League of Charlottetown, P.E.I.. their itinerary for the year 1943 was droun up accordingly. The re- sults have been most gratifying. There is also set up at Moncton. N. 13.. the regional headquarters for the Atlantic Region. a medl- cal clinic where employees may have free examination, appoint- ments for which are arranged by the local officers of the Canadian National Railways, through Dr. R. J- Brow". Wkionnl medical officer. who is in charge assisted by a competent staff of nurses and at.- icndants. Tlhis clinic is equipped with up to date X-ray equipment and every other facility has been provided. The health and welfare of employees is always in the fore- front. with this great Canadian National transportation system. In addition to requiring a high standard of physical fitness when employees enter the service. year- ly examinations are conducted in a car, specially equipped for this purpose.

A Tribute

The following Verses are copied from the December issue of the "College Times" which were wrii~ fen by James McGuigan, student of P. W. C. in memory of his Cousin, Lorne O‘Connor. Hope River, \v.h0 met with a fatal ac- cident on October 22.

IIIY COUSIN

The stars in the sky were shining

On that October night.

When I pedalled my bike to the Armouries,

Where we trained for the coming fight.

I just had entered the building

And scarce had time to begin,

When Gus was called from his coaching,

For the telephone did ring.

The caretaker came from the office.

His face was blank as stone;

“Is Mr. McGuigan present?

He is wanted On the phone."

After receiving the message From a voice from far away; I returned and prepared for the

journey which I took on the following day.

I arrived at my home tho next evcnin

My brothers and sisters were there

As we talked of the accident sadly,

A strange silence filled the air.

The following day was Sunday, So off to the Church we wcni; The day was cold and dreary. Summer was definitely spent.

And when the people were leaving, After the service was o'er; We journeyed down to my cousin's. As we oft had done before.

I thought as we went down that journey,

I-iow many. many times before

I played with my cousin, when younger,

But I can do so no more.

As we entered ihe house of my cousin .\ly Uncle stood in the hall; He is my Mother's brother, He is straight. dark and iall.

He explained the tragedy to us. How just two days before; While dumping a. cartload of tur-

nips, As he often had done before.

The horse got a fright. from the rumble,

And started away on one draught.

Knocking my cousin _off balance.

Who was standing on the shaft.

Before regaining his balance. Ha was almost on the ground; But hs struck his head on the aliel, And received that fatal wound.

So we entered the room where the casket,

Was under some candles‘ light; The shades were fully drawn.

It was almost dark as night.

The light of the candles were

ning

0n my cousin's pleasant face; l-Ic looked s0 pleasant and happy, You would almost. envy his place.

His eyes were closed in slumber; l-Iis hair was golden-brown, And waved back from his fore- head; 11D curl was nature's own.

I thought n m melt by his casket Praying for the departed soul; Which had fled to the Kingdom up yonder To receive its eternal goal.

How little of use this world is, After we meet our God:

Except to bury our bodies. Beneath the dark-green sod.

How when scarcely thirteen,

All his troubles were o'er;

While dovm here on earth should mourn him.

Jim Mi-Guignn.

And he, should rejoice cvcrmore‘
