W. C. T. lT-
The regular monthly meeting of
the W.C.T.U. was held in James St.
Church on Thursday, May 13th. Miss
Hogarth conducted the devotional
■period. Several ladies offered pray
ers. A psalm was read and the
Lord’s Prayer repeated in unison.
The President Miss Hartnoil presid
ed far the remainder of the meeting
The minutes of the last meeting,
were read and approved. The treas
urer reported $16.74 of a balance on
hand. Proceeds from the medal con
test amounted to $5.85, expenses
in this connection being $7.72. The
roll call was responded to by ten
members.
It was moved by Mrs. Beavers and
Mrs. Johns that we send $10.00 to
the Budget Fund. Carried. Mrs. W.
C. Pearce was asked to interview the
trustees of Main Street Church re
garding the holding of the County
Convention in that church early in
July. It was arranged to hold the
June meeting in Main Street Church.
Proceeding the study for the af
ternoon, Mrs. B. W. F. Beavers read
in part, the Presidential address of
Mrs. F. C. Ward at the Toronto Dis
trict W. C. T. U. which was held at
Willard Hall. Mrs. Ward challeng
ed the women, who can, by the pow- ' er ot the franchise gain demands,
the time has gone for passing res
olutions, there must ibe persistent
effort to uproot the evil of intemper
ance. There are enough women in
this city, Province and Dominion,
who by using their franchise could >
cbtain any legislation they want.
Non-partisan parties are needed in'
order to get a beer and wine refer
endum.
Our study followed and was en
titled “A Christian, View of the Liq
uor Problem.”
The attitude of the Christian to
ward liquor has been a changing one
This change has been rapid during
the. last 100 years. In olden days
Christian men dealt in rum and
slaves, went to church and thanked
God they had been instrumental in
bringing the tbenighted savages un
der Christian civilization, but all
this has passed. Time, conditions
cud a growing understanding of the
mind of Jesus has- changed the atti
tude of the Church from one of ap
proval and toleration to one ot
acute hostility. There is now a con
sensus o-f conviction in the great
Protestant deuomintions that the
supreme power of the Church must
be pitted against the supreme enemy
of the Church. It is also true in the
Roman Catholic Church that there
are great temperance organizations
and great leaders who seek to make
an outcast of this age old enemy of
the' Church. 100 years ago seven
men of Preston, England, signed a
pledge, which is supposed to be the
first ever
“In order
and give
world o-f
pledge to
intoxicating quality.”
great body of people today with that
same ideal.
A Christian must also face the
social aspect of the liquor problem,
he must think of the liquor in re
lationship to neighbors and homes.
The Gospel "knows of no' Christians
that are free from social obligations
and responsibilities. Jesus has made
it clear that He has nothing in com
mon with any man who does not
make common cause with his neigh-
bers. Liquor has made many homes
to be unhappy, indeed it has chang
ed many homes to be a power of
good into actual hells.
The Christian will look upon al
cohol in relation to the Kingdom of
God. The Kingdom of God must
furnish the dynamics that will make
any co-untry decent “The nation that
feared not God shall die” and friend
of Jesus will find it exceedingly dif
ficult to find any .ground for being
a friend of alcohol.
Mrs. Chas. Johns gave a reading
entitled “In the Shadow of the
Churches” which follow in part:
In the shadow of the churches,
Hour »by hour, anft. day by day;
There are fellow-creatures starving,
Like the sheep that went astray.

While in cushioned pews we worship
Are we thus Divinely led?
Think you He accepts such service.

Some large plate windows of stores

CROP CONDITIONS
The following summary on
ther and crop conditions at the be
ginning of May has been compiled
by the Statistics Branch from reports
of correspondents.
The weather during April was
very -unfavorable for spring cultiva
tion and seeding. Cold wet weather
prevented operations on the land and
at the end of the month less seeding
of oats and barley was completed
than in any year since 1922. Only 5
per cent, of the intended oat acre
age had been planted and 3 per cent,
of the barley acreage. Warm dry
weather was greatly needed for com
pletion of the seeding of spring
grains and for good .germination.
Precipitation in Ontario during
the five months, November to March
was practically equal to the average
received during the past fifty-five
years. It became quite excesive in
Southwestern Ontario, reaching flood
proportions in the London area. The
soil is well-supplied with moisture
and provided satisfactory growing
weather prevails from now on, the
yield of spring grains this season
may be well up to the average.
Winter killing of fall wheat was
about the same as in 1936, being less
than normal. The acreage seeded
last fall was 702,000 acres and win
ter-killing amounted to 8 per cent,
leaving 646,000 acres to be harvest
ed this summer, as against 509,300
acres a year ago. This increase is
due to the stimulus provided by rise
in wheat prices. Fall rye suffered
less injury with only an estimated
5 per cent of the acreage being win
ter killed. The cool moist weather
has been favorable for the develop
ment of fall wheat and fall rye and
their condition at the beginning o<
May was almost normal. With good
yields fall wheat will prove one of
the best crops in years. The visible
supply of wheat in Canada is lowest
on record since 1925.

A SPILL! A THRILL! A LAUGH A MINUTE
A MAN-SIZED BREAKFAST
Brides should promise to do more
than love, honor and cherish. They
should agree also to provide manful
Sunday morning breakfasts for their
youthful husbands. Mrs. Joseph Ge-
nungj of Horseheads, N.Y., celebrat
ed her sixtieth wedding anniversary
by advising newly wed brides “you
should know how to cook.” Her hus
band is a fiddler. For sixty^years
Mrs. Genung has delighted him with
a Sunday breakfast to his liking. He
is still a fiddler, still married.
A nationally popular restaurant
man in New York, consulted on the
Sunday breakfast question, bangs
his fist on a table, shouts with feel
ing. “Tell these young women who
wonder why husbands get restless,
that a man wants to feel like a lord
in his own castle on -Sunday morning
He wants a liesurely breakfast with
food he favors, and he doesn’t want
the kids tearing through the house
when he eats it.”
What Husbands Like
Assured that the girls of America
would de duly informed of his op
inion, this noted provider of break
fasts to countless famous men, calms
down, discusses -food. “Around this
time of the year,’” he confides, “a
breakfast planned to a man’s taste
would consist of eithex’ fresh or
stewed fruit, such as -fresh rhubarb
or baked apple. Fifty per cent, of
the masculine world prefer ham and
eggs or bacon and eggs as a second
dish, although such dishes as -picked
up’codfish in cream (salt codfish)
steamed -finnan haddie, kippered her
ring, bloater, corned beef hash and
egg, and sausages and eggs have
their devotees.”
This astute observer of husbands
believes that a man will eat cereal
it it is served tn .him on a“club
breakfast,” or if it is a regular part
of his usual home breakfast, but
that if he sits down to decide for
himself^ he will usually omit cereal.
“Men like hot cakes,* though,” he
adds. “But as they grow older and
have to be more careful about what
they eat, the popularity of hot cakes
sharply declines. Youth and hot-
cakes go together. An expanding
waistline and gray at the temples
had better sigh, and pass them by.”
Spring Rhubarb Sauce
Use pink rhuibarb. Clean thorough
ly, Cut into 1-2-inch pieces, place
in earthenware or enamel saucepan
and sprinkle with sugar, using 2
cups of sugar to every 4 cups rhu
barb. Stand for at yeast an hour,
until the sugar draws out some of
the juice. Cook slowly, adding- a
little water if there is not enough
juice. When tender, mash through
a sieve. Serve cold with a pitcher of
thick cream. Now you’re* one up on
that alLfor liappy-marriage Sunday
breakfast question.
