Booking back over a particularly trying summer, we think of the many times we might have slipped away to the woods or* water for an - hcmr*!s relaxation had- thes$ places Risen only more accessable. But such . spots seem so hard to find. With the exception of the really public resorts, which' do hot lend themselves to the intimacy of family parties, there seem to be few places available. You go searching up and down " the lake front, only to gee everywhere the sign, “Private Property”,1- It is the same in Muskoka—every pretty spot within reasonable distance is pre-empted,Since national well-being is dependent on the health and happiness of the people, there would seem to be something essentially wrongAin a policy which limits' the use and enjoyment of the country’s natural re­ creational facilities to the use of a few of its wealthier people. - The Missus The Perfect Quest Kiddy Korner !

Miss Lee is one of the first Chinese women to become a pilot in the service of General^, Kai- Shek. She spoke of the tragedies of her native land, of all the effort and sacrifice, of the fortitude and endurance of its people. Her great .concern is to get help to supply food for China’s starving millions. If ;war brings us to a better under­ standing of lands, it will have accomplished one -.good -thing.

She is a deal live cow, a nice little Jersey which was taken from the Channel Islands before the Germans got possession. At the Exhibition she was earning money for war relief. Those who wanted to see her fell into line and as you passed in the door you put your contribution into a big glass box, Then everybody walked around Elsie as she lay in her big* four-poster bed. This bed 'was frilled around with flowered drapes but the mattress was of comfortable straw. On the walls of her room were framed pictures of her rela­ tives (for you must know that Elsie is a very aristocratic cow) and on her dressing table were -all manner of toilet accessories, powder, pills, arid even a pair of lace-trimmed boudoir slippers to fit a hoof.

With the .large crops of corn.’ go droves of hogs and herds of cattle. Many farmers feed as many as 150 to 200 hogs.

They were favorably im­ pressed by the appearance of the i country and the cordiality* o’f their | reception, wishing to stay, longer ! but the' harvesting of their’’ corn crop called them home. They left on Monday to visit ^Niagara Falls before leaving for ' their homes. Their many friends here will look' forward with delight to have them visit .us again at some futurg date. They did not have the slightest dif­ ficulty in entering Canada. Just the ordinary questions were asked as in other years. -------W------- SPECIAL MEETING OF STEPHEN COUNCIL A special meeting of the Coun­ cil of the TownshiD of Stepheh met in the Clerk’s office, Crediton, on Saturday evening, the 20th of Sep­ tember, 1941, at 8 p.m. All mem­ bers were present. .

This was found to be from Graham* and Gra­ ham, Municipal Contractors, of Lon­ don, by which they offered- to. do the work according to the Engin­ eer’s plans and ^specifications for the. sum of $1,090,0.0'. Since this tender was the only one filed and far exceeded the Engineer’s esli- *mate, it was moved bySRoy Ratz,j seconded by Thomas Love: that the tender be declined and the cheque for $100 returned to the Said firm with the idea that tenders be called some time in the spring when it was thought labor and machinery Would be more available, which does ;not appear to be the case just' now due to the great demand aris­ ing through the construction of the Centralia' and Grand Bend airports. •Carried. « s F.

In these days of war the thoughtless selfish spender is a traitor to out war effort, A reduction in personal spending is now a vital necessity to re­ lieve the pressure for goods, to enable more and 'more labour and materials to be diverted to winning the war.
