The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1943-03-25, Page 6K Notes from A Woman s Workshop ’TWAS IUVER THUS Public attention lias been attracted to the dismissal of the principal Pt Runnymede Collegiate in Toronto, by the somewhat unusual spectacle pf g strike among the pupils, called as a protest against the action of the board. Not taking it upon, ourselves to pass judgment upon this some­ what doubtful method of showing their loyalty, and with no personal knowledge of the facts involved, we are interested only in the investiga­ tion now being carried on by the Provincial Reference Board. The evi­ dence suggests unsavory intrigue and personal spite, but what arrested our attention was the fact that the charge brought against the teacher seems to have hinged mainly on the contention that he had conducted the school on somewhat unconventional lines, following his own personal convictions in the matter. He did not believe in term examinations, and liis discipline was based on the assumption that if the studies were made interesting enough there would be no problem of discipline or attendance, which sounds sensible and reasonable. The students of his classes had been successful when they took up their places in the working world and their approval of the principal has been demonstrated with disquieting clarity. The essence of the whole proceeding is to illustrate once again the ancient fact that people will tolerate inefficiency and outright knavery in public service, but the one thing they will not stand for is that anyone should diffei* from their preconceived opinions or lack of opinions. That has been the cardinal sin in all ages. The pioneer of a new idea walks a thorny path. Always we stone our prophets and persecute those who are sent unto us; always we have before us the martyrs of the truth. “Soc­ rates drinking the hemlock; Christ on the rood.” So the wheels of human progress move draggingly along the upward way because we close our minds to anything that seems different, and refuse to tolerate principles which, ironically enough, may become accepted facts in the next genera­ tion,—The Missus THE HYIXAS The winter lingers long and long With fields snow-filled and dreary; I hunger foi! a wild bird’s song To glad a world grown weary. Will June-time ever come again With dew-drenched meads of clo- verTo cheer the doleful hearts of men? Will winter* ne’ei* be over? I know the sun its cure wil bring For winter’s wounds so tragic; Some splendid day a breath of spring Will work its subtle magic: And come there must the evening when My tingling blood, wild-leaping, Will tell me all is well again,— I’ll hear the hylas peeping! —Nixon Waterman ***** SOCIAL SECURITY All women should be interested in NAZIS BEWARE’ No wonder General .Montgomery of the British Eighth Army is so well versed in methods of destroying evil. His grandfather was James Montgomery, the poet and journal­ ist, whose hymns are in every Pro­ testant hymn book. Remember these first lines: “God made all His creatures free,” ‘‘The Christian warrior, see him stand,” ‘‘Prayer is the heart’s sincere desire,” ‘‘God comes with succor speedy,” etc. His father was a Bishop, too.***** GOOD COFFEE GOES FARTHER Good to the last drop!

Mr. Coursey was born and lived all his life on the farm where he He is survived by his wife, two sons, JAM or JELLY MAKING Allow I1/:! lbs. of sugar for each quart of jam or jelly. Most people use jars of various shapes and sizes. Take a num­ ber of the jars you usually use and see how many cupfuls of water they hold. Four (4) cups make a quart. In this way you will be able to estimate the number of quarts of jam or jelly your jars will hold. Then allow II/2 lbs. of sugar per quart for your requirements. For example, for 8 quarts of jam or jelly,* you will require 12 lbs. of sugar. Estimates based on these methods are within the canning sugar, ration, and the amounts are satisfactory for wartime canning and - jam and jelly making, as proven by test in the Dominion Department of Agriculture experimental kitchens. IMPORTANT NOTE The Dominion Department of Agriculture recommends canning fruit in preference to making jam or jelly because: More fruit can be put up with less sugar and at less cost. Canned fruit retains more of the vitamin value of the fresh fruit. CANNING Allow J/2 lb. of sugar for each quart sealer. Estimate the TOTAL number of quart sealers you plan to put up —then use the quick, practical method of allowing % lb. of sugar for each quart sealer. Don’t try and decide exactly the num­ ber of each kind of fruit you plan to put up. Some fruits may be more plentiful than others. Base your estimates on the number of sdalers you have on hand, what you put up last year, or what you think your needs will 'be this year.

The press has of late been giving I a good deal of publicity to the. activities of Sister Elizabeth Ken-' ny, who has been demonstrating her method of dealing with the dread disease which we commonly know as infantile paralysis. ' She was an Australian nurse in the backwoods of that country, and she was confronted by an emer­ gency. She was far from any doc­ tor, so treated the case of poliomye­ litis with the materials and equip­ ment at hand—hot packs, and . to 'her joy perceived that the patient was relieved. ’ She treated many other patients with excellent re­ sults, and gradually introduced pas­ sive exercises, f^ll__2 ’:y ----- cises through the patient’s own ef­ forts.to explain her method to the medl-jand let stand 10 minutes, cal fraternity and was criticized and* ,.o, laughed at. That was more than thirty years ago, and Elizabeth Kenny, instead of being discouraged, came to America to continue her good work. She was finally recog­ nized as an authority, and just re­ cently in New York’s hospital for Special surgery more than 125 nurs­ es and doctors gathered to watch a 9-year-oId girl step from a bed and walk. SeVenty-two days before she had been stricken With infantile paralysis, arid had been unable to lift her head and shoulders from; the bed. This is a method of relieving patients from the crippling after effects of the disease. She does not claim that it is a cure.' # * ♦ * ♦ Does it make you mad When the ■ macaroni boils over?
