Woods) September days have been beautiful, This spot ha's been eo quiet and peaceful', the grass so :green, the sunsets s'o gorgeous that it le difficult to realize we may be on the verge of an holocaust which could end civilization, Sitting in the garden: at "The Hut", Lucy has been absorbing the beauty to store it in memory :for days when the colder weather cones. Listening to the sound& pf nature it seerned aelf .the earth were purring with eon, tentment, The only disco'rd'ant note was that of a greedy ,blue jay driving off the earddin'als. Mr. Cardinal, Mrs, Cardinal, -their family and rerlatflves started) 'two weeks ago to pick the 'seeds out of ;the sun- flowers while still green, Now that they are nearly ripe, the jays have moved in to clear up a dozen or so odd heads. The master had hoped to dole out the seeds a few at a time after the snow fell, But now it look's as if the .cupboard will be hare! And thinking of a bare cupboard reminded Lucy of the advice to citizens of Canada to lay in a store end keep two weeks' supply of tinned foods ahead:. What tinned foods'? She supposed that int means the food's of our mice necessary to survival. (With a shudder she recalled hear.. ing the specific foods and quantities per person which hous'ehold'ers were advised to lay in, :being broadaaslt over the wireless each day in England in the summer of 1939. AIso the trial blackout's). But back to the present—a horrible thought crossed her mind: "What if atomic fallout killed all our foliage and we survived!" Would there be eV joy in living? Looking up at a birch tree she noticed the tender young leaves on the end of one ,branch all dead as if scorched. WHAT? ALREADY? Our eyes bulged. It was on the southwest side of the trees, the direction of the prevailing winds, too. Could it have been a little bit of atomic duet dropped dawn in rain from the latest Russian explosions? No. Her racing thoughts came to a sudden halt! She re- fused to panic. But it would be wise to lay in some !tinned goods, she decided. And thinking of the talks and suggestions of the West to settle matters amicably with Nikita Krusehev, her mind went back to the troublous times in India when Mahatma Ghandi was stirring up trouble against the British admin- istration by his passive resistance and hunger strike. Lord Halifax called on him in his confinement and'they got along beautifully in their discussions. Ghandi eased his pressure. Asked about how Lord Halifax had managed to nee gotiatte with him India's holy man said: "One cannot agrue with Jesus Christ." Lord Halifax was a dedicated man. He commented each day by attending holy communion, and' if Lucy re- members correctly, Lord Halifax prayed in Ghandi's pres- ence. and Mrs. Chapman last week. On Wednesday Miss Josephine Stirling accompanied Mrs. Chapman and her guests to Stratford to see a matinee per- formance of King Henry VIII. Mr.. and Mrs, E. A. Feather- ston, Mrs. B. Menerey accom- panied by Misses K. and M. Elliott, Brumfield, also attend- ed the performance.

The meeting opened with Mrs. Bell in the chair and the Scripture was read by Mrs. Len Talbot. The minutes were read by Mrs. L. Makins and Miss J. Stirling gave the treas- urer's report. An interesting letter was read by the president from a missionary in Formosa, it be- ing the answer to a parcel of cards and books which was sent out there three months ago by one of the members.

Wolves Suspected In Death of Mcfadden's Dog (J3fyfleld Correspondent) Last Thursday morning when Wilfred (Pete) heard and Joe Hoene returned to the former's home for a wreneh, they went over to the little Jewish ceme- tery where Caleb McIntosh and. family are buried. It is a little copse of trees near the road. When leaving in the morning Pete had seen MoFadden's dog Tippy, (a medium sized canine of 'the Heintz variety) lying there, It was mtill there, so they went to see if it were ill, Tippy was dead, had been in fact, 'horribly mangled in . a terrific struggle. There had beena fight to the death where the ground was packed down hard. Around the outside, they saw some very large tracks which could be those of .a great dane (only there are no dogs of that breed in the distri'ot) . F. E. McFadden saw ,the two men examining the spot and walked over to see what was attracting their attention, Mrs. McFad'dien recalled' lat- er that she had heard what she thought were dogs fighting in the night. Could it have been a wolf? It could and probably was. Maybe Tippy warned wolves off his property and thus lost his life, defending it. Jim McGee states that there are brush wolves around his place and the howls of them at night would send the shivers up your spine. He last heard them howling in the vicinity of the dump. Jim is employed on the pier under G. Borrin of the Depart- ment of Public Works, Ot- tawa, who hails from Cochrane. He pointed out the tracks of two wolves which had gone down to the river to drink on the south side. The foot marks were about 20 feet apart. 0 Thanksgiving For Harvest At Trinity, Bayfield (Bayfield Correspondent) Trinity Church, Bayfield was tastefully decorated with fruit flowers, vegetables and grain for the Harvest Thanksgiving service on Sunday morning. The flowers on the altar were in memory of Mrs. Helen Scat- chmer and in the sanctuary in memory of Robert Hopson. The service was conducted by the rector, the Rev, E. J. 13. Harrison and the. Rt. Rev.. Wil- liam A. Townshend, D.D., L.L.D.. Suffragan Bishop of Huron read the lesson and was the preacher. Basing his remarks on Psalm 103: 2: ".Bless the Lord, 0 my soul and forget not all his ben- efits," in a reminiscent vein, he was thankful for the lessons taught him in Trinity Sunday School by Myrtle Stinson and Maude Pollock Brownlee, and the start he had been given in 1905 in Bayfield Public School by Flossie Stanbury and Thomas Brownlee, principal, also for the lovely stories of Reverend E C. Jennings, one of which was the basis of this sermon, "We are always in grave danger oftaking things for granted", said the speaker. "The Harvest Festival comes to remind us, and impress upon us the mutual dependance of man upon man and upon God." "The Harvest Festival re- calls the need to re -dedicate ourselves to the service of God" err DOROTY DARKER What to Take I suppose every woman works herself into a lather at the very prospect of getting ready to spend four weeks liv- ing out of a suitcase, From the hour I was informed my trip to the Maritimes was all lined up I started to vision what I should pack. Would it be my four-year-old navy lin- en suit, my two-year-old din- ner dress, my favourite knit- ted suit and a bathing suit latter had been bleached in Vancouver sun, attracted the sand and grit from numerous Ontario lakes and been ducked in countless suburban backyard pools. Why it hadn't seen the rag bag long since is what is known in the fancily as a Bar- kerism. When I like a, gar- ment, be it bathing suit, even- ing gown or housecoat, I wear it until only the seams hang together, This might lead one to be- lieve that I am devoid of a clothes consciousness. Far my stylish little "nothing" — like a barrel about to be laun- ched over Niagara Falls. from it. Clothes haunt many of my waking moments, wor- rying me about what to wear with which for such and such an occasion and do the colours match, or swear, at one an- other? Knitting and Sewing I decided I would settle this once and for all and for sev- eral reasons I bought only one colour combination — navy, light, dark and in between. I even decided to knit a sweater in navy. To lighten its som- berness and give the pattern some style I was persuaded to knit it with a glitter thread. The American pattern itself was a simple one of knit two, purl one and reverse on the next row. The sales girl in- spired me by saying I could knit it in a week with jiffy wool, or double knit as it is called in Canada, on oversized needles Canadian No. 4, Ameri- can No. 10. This in itself was confusing enough to throw me off my knitting stride. Just add to such confusion the hec- tic business of keeping track of that glitter thread and one can understand why the pat- tern turned out to be, knit two, rip one. A month later, when the family was about to apply for my admittance to a mental in- stitution, I finally sewed up the seams, One shoulder was wid- er than the other, giving me a lopsided look as though I had spent my growing years Iean- ing up against •a wall. The glit- ter gleamed here and there, enhancing the whole with a simple moth-eaten appearance. One sleeve was longer than the other. But it was an ac- complishment and I was proud of it. In fact, so proud that I de- cided to make a dress to go with, as a true Lunenburger would say. This was called in the style book "a little noth- ing" and, when finished, on said Bishop Townshend and he ended with a challenge to his listeners to da so and the pro- mise: "In quietness and con- fidence shall be our strength." Mrs. E. A. Featherston was at the organ 'and during the offertory the choir sang (by request) "Fairest Lord Jesus." me it looked exactly like that, Instead of accenting my bet- ter physical features, it made my mature 36-38-36 figure look like it had been done up in a sack and tied in the mid- dle, Fetching! To buck me up I decided to read the alluring description about my CN Maple Leaf Tour all over again. In small type at the bottom of the page, after I had drooled over the prospect of two days at Keltic Lodge, Ingonish Beach, and two solid days in Charlotte- town, Prince Edward Island (highlights in the travel itin- erary) 1 found these words 'only one piece of hand lug- gage will be allowed each tra- veler on the tour of the At- lantic Provinces', How Do 1 Pack it This came as a bit of a shock. for after almost three years on the road, the rail- road that is, I have reduced my travel equipment to a com- fortable overnight bag and cruise case. I juggled the con- tents I usually carry in the overnight bag with tissue pap- er wrapped garments that of- ten live in the cruise case for weeks at a time. Nothing seemed to fit or promise a pleasant journey. I pictured myself wrestling with a. sun dress while trying to find my foundation cream, or being fearful I would discover I had on a nightdress when I intend- ed to wear a sweater and skirt. I Learned there is a piece of luggage, designated as "hand luggage" known by a name no true railway addict would ever even mention. It was the an- swer to my problems. Dresses stay nicely sorted on hangers, shoes have a home in a plas- tic pocket and best of all, the outside zipped up pocket has oceans of room for nightie, ;dippers, dressing gown and :tiake-up kit, camera, rain coat, and several envelopes or 'meal in a glass formula'.
