Mr. Gerald Zwicker paid tribute to the minister, Mr. Trevethick and people for their co-opeTation. It was observed oy Mr, Woodall that Mrs. Gerald Zwicker had been no small factor in rendering service to her husband and hence to the church. Her ser­ vices in this particular’ were also the object of appreciation. The Missionary and Maintenance report was presented by the con­ vener, Mr. Thomas Trevethiqk, in­ dicating a slight increase over last year. The treasurer observed that a greater enthusiasm ought to mani­ fest itself in this very important aspect of the church’s work.

Woman’s Workshop BABY-TALK The other day, Ella came in to report on her annual visit to a mutual friend. She confessed to being a little disappointed, explaining that the usually free-and-easy household, had been re-vamped tp meet the rigid schedule pf the visiting baby-grandson’s day, and that someway she felt she did not fit in. Afterwards I was thinking back to the days when babies were not such a novelty. Every home had one somewhere in the offing. In fact, no self-respecting family would dream of allowing itself to run out of such a precious commodity. I do not remember that Baby’s arrival was looked upon as an economic disaster. He was presented tov the family as an accomplished fact, Mother made no application for the D.S.O. nor did Dad sit down to budget for his education. Sufficient unto the day was the evil thereof. Everybody took a hand in his up-bringing. At a very tender age he learned that he was the boss and proceeded to demonstrate his authority On all occasions. He issued his commands in no uncertain voice, expected “service with a smile” and got it, too, from whoever happened to be nearest at the moment. Kissed, cuddled, rocked and rumpled, he survived the transgression; of every known law in the matter of baby care and in time grew up to be that not-so-bad young fellow who married you.I do not say that to-day’s “better babies” have not a surer chance Pf health, but I do think they must miss a good deal of fun. •—The Missus TRAINING THE OTHER WOMAN’S CHILD attention please ladies for their sponsoring supper was tendered.

As a result, our own lard has dropped in price. Almost all vegetable oils have to be im­ ported. Peanut, soy bean, maize, cotton-seed and cocoa butter are all used and you will see that none of them are native products.
