This medium lends itself to a wide
scope and variety of uses although
it is still in the experimental stages
as far as craft work is concerned.
A few of the station personnel have
become very adept in using it and
have completed real works of art.
Special mention must be made of
the work being done by the patients
in the hospital. Some intricate
model aircraft have been made as
well as considerable leather work.
A sewing machine has been added
to the equipment of the Craft Shop
and has proved very popular with
the girls. A .great, deal of’ mending
has been done and some attractive
summer clothes are being made.
An invitation is extended to all
interested in any craft or hobby to
come to the Craft Shop Thursday
evenings at 19 00 hours or to the
"Y” office at any time. We want to
give you an opportunity to work
at your special craft and possibly
make it available for others. So if

tell us about it and we will do our
best to get it organized.

Through co-operation of the
Medical Officers of this Station and
the Canadian Red Cross Society,
over 100 persons contributed dui-

‘whom were from the W.D. person

Each participant was amazed at

in saving the lives of their com

Visiting Band
One of the finest musical aggre
gations that has ever visited this
station, played here’last Sunday eve
ning, for the listening and dancing
pleasure of our personnel.
Frank Foster and his 11 piece
band from Kitchener and Galt with
Roy Roberts doing a splendid job
on the vocals, provided one of the
season’s thrills for dancers, that
had the Recreation Hall echoing
with their applause and apprecia
tion.
The men of the band, too enjoyed
their visit to this station, and wouiu
like a return engagement here if
such difficulties as transportation,
etc., could be overcome.
Centralia is grateful to these men
who donated their time and effort
to give us such a grand evening, and
We re-echo the cry heard on many
sides: "We too, hope you can come
back again.”

Mozart’s ".Duettino Concertante”
gave a touch of gaiety and lightness
to the programme. This composition
was performed by the duo pianists
Vronsky and Babin.
Th e soft charming strains of
Humperdinck’s, "Overture” to "Han
sel and Gretel,” was performed
next. This overture is the beautiful
preparation for the so popular
fairy tale opera, "Hansel and
Gretel”.
The oriental "Bacchanale” from
Saens-Saens "Samson and Delilah,”
added much color to the programme.
The music, soft and luxuriant at
first, grew gradually to a climax of
..the -most frenzied, oriental Style.
The major work on the program
was the Norwegian composer’s
Sonata in C Minor for violin and
piano. This composition ranks high
among Grieg’s greatest numbers.
Characteristic Grieg harmony and
rythm pervided the whole sonata.
The performers, Sergei Rachmanin
off and Fritz Kreisler answered
nobly to the demands of the com
poser in the performance of this
most difficult composition.
Moussorgsky’s symphonic poem,
"Night on Bare Mountain,” brought
the programme to a close. This fine
example of programme music rep

Softball
On Thursday, June 1st, the first
W.D. interestation softball game
was held at Crumlin, Centralia vs.
Aylmer. The W.D.’s have had quite
a lot of practice under the instruc
tion of Sgt. Farrell and Sgt. Fuller
and were really playing a good
game on Thursday night. The girls
are planning on bringing home the
Command softball pennant and
started out in the right direction
with the first game a victory, the
score being 18-14, All members of
the team should be congratulated
on their playing. There were three
pitchers for the No. 9 S.F.T.S. team
—LAW. Hauser, AW’s Lineham and
Newton, and the excellent pitching
kept the Aylmer team on their toes.
LAW. Letourneau also played a
very god game as catcher. The one
home-run of the evening was made
by LAW. Cole, a newcomer to our
station who certainly is a .grand
addition to our team. The other
W.D.’s who played on the team were
Cpl.'s Holmes and Payne, and
LAW.’s MacNichol, Hollingdale,
Thibideau and Owen, We are hoping
to have lots more inter-station
games this season and want all
those who would like to play with
the Station team to turn out to the
practices in the evening. Everyone
is welcome.

A man was being tried for mis

was said to have confided, was being
examined.
"Can you repeat the exact words
in which the prisoner confessed to
taking the pig?”
"He said, sir, he took the pig.”
The judge tried to simplify the
question, "Did the prisoner say, ‘He
took the pig,’ or ‘I took the pig’?”
"Oh, your Honor, he said he took
it. Your Honor’s name Wesn’t even
mentioned.”

Another Symbol
of the HARD WAY
Becomes a Relic
One by one the time-taking, tiring
and tiresome hand labor chores of
the farm have been eliminated by a
machine that does the work easier*
quicker and more profitably.
The milking stool for instance has
long been a symbol of the hard way
to do a job. But more and more
dairymen are spending less time on
milking stools now. Shortage of help
and pressure of work have empha
sized the value of using machines
instead of muscles wherever possible,
and dairymen have found the answer
in the mechanical milking machine.
Because the purchase of a milking
machine saved them hours of time
and labor, thousands of dairymen
have been able to carry on and
benefit from the great demand for
dairy products in recent years. "Hand
milking” is out for them now that
they have experienced the comfort
and convenience of a mechanical
milker.
In the progress that Canadian
agriculture has rilade in improved
methods arid practices, equipment
engineered and manufactured by
Massey-Harris has played Gri im
portant part. Among the time and
labor savjng machines your local
MassOy-Hdfris dealer has to offer is
tho Rite Way Milker. Make it a point
to ask him for full particulars
