Rambling With Lucy
(L uej R. 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.

panied by Misses K. and M.

ter 10. Miss Margaret Semple
led in the responsive psalm
reading.

rons and donations added to
door receipts, there was a net
profit of over $200. She also

WA and WMS
Hold Meetings
(Bayfield Correspondent)
The regular meeting of the
Woman's Association of St.
Andrew's United Church was
held at the home of Mrs.
Charles Bell.
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.
The fall fair booth was plan-
ned and each lady is to bring
two pies, Quilt making was
also discussed.
Mrs. Bell was trying to lo-
cate a tray missing since the
last tea. The meeting closed
with the reading "It Isn't the
Church, It's You," followed by
the WA theme prayer.
The meeting of the Wo-
man's Missionary Society fol-
lowed. The president, Mrs. H.
Hohner conducted the opening
exercises and presided over the
business session. Mrs. R. Scot-
chmer, secretary, gave her re-
port, and Mrs. W. Fralick,
treasurer, the financial state-
ment.
The next meeting will be
held in the church when the
Thankoffering will be present-
ed. Everyone isasked to double
her usual offering on this oc-
casion.
Mrs. Rohner closed with the
benediction. The committee in
charge served lunch.
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.

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"

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

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."

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'.
