CHILDREN'S CORNER
Edited by DR.. Jas. A. Fraser
II WEAK SPOT

Achilles was a great warrior among the early Greeks. One
day his mother, who was a goddess, took him while he was yet
a little boy, to be dipped, in the river Styx. The mother knew
that if she thus dipped her boy he would be forever safe from
being hurt or wounded in battle. When one knows one can
not be wounded, one is very brave indeed. The story has it
that when the mother of Achilles dipped him, she held him
by the heel, and this one spot never got into the sacred river.
So, you see, there was a weak spot by which Achilles could be
wounded. 1t was this weak spot which at last caused his death,
for one day while fighting, an arrow struck him in the heel,
and so as a result of the wound he died.
There is a story in the Old Testament about a youth by
the name of David. He went out one day and killed a gaipt.
This giant was very powerful, but he too had his weak spot.
That was the reason David was 80 successful. He hurled a
small stone with great force and hit the giant in his forehead,
and the giant was killed. Often do we see boys and girls with
weak spots. Perhaps it is the weakness of bad temper or dis
obedience or sulkiness or something else of the nature of these
weak spots in the armour of the boy'spr girls character, and
somebody gets wounded.
Once upon a time a young man came to Christ. He was
very wealthy and wanted to follow the Master. He must have
been q fine looking fellow for we read that ''Christ looking
upon him loved him" But the young nobleman had a weak
spot in his character, and Christ refused to have him as a dis
ciple unless he protected himself from that weakness. Do you
know what the weakness of that young man vast Turn to
Marks gospel, Chapter 10, verse q, and find out for your
selves.
1t is well for us to guard our weak spots. An army must
always protect a weak place in the line. A boxer must for
ever be on his guard. So must we. One weakness is not a
trife; it is something to worry about So, my young friends,
1 am preaching to myself too when I say-Let us guard our
weak spots.

RECORD PAVING
DEVELOPED
YEAR JUST PAST

By far the greatest year for street
paving was 1923, when contracts for
1~4.3S5.4s7 square yards Of concrete
street pavement were awarded. or Al
most sig million square yards more
than in 1929. the next highest year
in the history Of concrete street con-
struction. In 1922 the total num-
Der OF square yards Of concrete
street paving awarded was 1861
7S2 An Increase Of approximately
eight million square yards over 1871.
The true magnitude OF the ad-
vance In concrete street construction
may readily be seer BY comparing the
yardage OF streets fifteen years ago
with that Of January 1. 1924. At
tho end of 1908 the concrete street
pavement in the country totAlled
%%4.S64 square yards. the equivalent
of forty-four miles Of ei~ghteen-foot
pavement. On January I. 1924. the
total Of concrete pavement either
built or under contract was no.

having had S.S40,78o square yards

The wide scope OF street building
for the year 10 plainly Indicated In
the fact that the concrete street
yardass alonge for 1879 was greater
than the total concrete yaFdage In
eluding roads and alleys for ANY
year before 1913.
Many Of the larger cities which
hsd built older types OF pavement
before concrete came into promin-
sncs have been slow to adopt con-
crete because Of the desire to get all
the use possible out Of their old
pavemsnts. But last year there was
no city In tho country Of half . mil
