At Spring Meeting
Mrs. Meyers was in Guelph
also for the annual spring meet
ing of the provincial board held
Monday, Tuesday and Wednes
day. Her position as an executive
member over the past three years
has made her advisor to all In
stitutes in the district. A new
member will be elected this year
to serve a three-year term on
the board.
Mrs. R. G. Marshall, Canadian
representative to the sixth Gene
ral Assembly in Paris spoke on
world human relations. Her
topic was. “The United Nations
and You.”
Discussions
Another interesting speaker
was Miss Florence Reynolds, of
the Food and Agriculture Organ
ization of the U.N.
A discussion period on Friday
brought much interest in the con
vention when seven groups were
formed to bring out more indivi
dual views and air problems.
Scattered throughout the
whole convention were song
periods and music recitals. The
ladies were greeted by the
honorable T. L, Kennedy, Mini
ster of Agriculture, and then
they heard a talk on creative
work by Thor Hansen, Art
Director of the British American
Oil Company.
A complete report of the con
vention will be given at the
South Huron District Annual
scheduled for June 12 at Kippen,
Miss Helen Hardy
Addresses W.A.
In a talk entitled “Patterns
of Successful Living”. Miss
Helen Hardy told members of
the James Street W.A. at their
April meeting that faith is the
antidote to fear.
She went on to say that it is
one's inner consciousness of a
rightness in the control of the
universe and an awareness that
if one gets in tune, he may have
success within himself.
Miss Hardy traced patterns of
living from Confucious through
Greek times to Christ and she
said that Christ's life is the
basis for all such patterns since
his time.
The speaker pointed out that
j physcologists took the idea in the
i latter part or the nineteenth
I century and psychiatrists in the
twentieth century found that the
ijob required the help of the
clergy.
1 Some of the patterns Miss
Hardy mentioned were that per-
i sons should take time to be
i quiet. She suggested the reading 1 of inspirational works and men-
, tioned the writings of Dr. Rufus
(Jones and Marguerite Bro. She
said that it is necessary for
people in this time of strain and
rush to learn physical relaxation
and they should exercise faith.
At the meeting, the ladies
completed plans for a “Blossom
Tea” to be held May 23. The
Huronia Male Chorus and the
High School Glee Club will pre
sent a musical at the evening
church service June 1 under the
sponsorship of the W.A.
Fifteen members volunteered
to assist’ with the canvass for the
mass T.B. clinic to be held here.
Mrs. N. Hannigan led the devo
tional period.
Mrs. E. Johns, Mrs. E. Linden
field and Mrs. R. E, Pooley sang
accompanied by Miss V. Coates.
BEAUTY AND THE BLOSSOMS — The annual display of
blossoms in the Niagara peninsula will soon get under way
if appearance of apricot and peach blooms are any indica
tion. Here, Josephine Fernick admires some of the delicate
apricot blooms on a tree in St. Catharines, Ont. In about two
weeks the entire district near and around the Niagara River
will be filled with spectators to witness the annual spectacle
of flowering fruit trees laden with blossoms. —C.P.C.

About People
We took a wee trip out “the
township line road” to visit Mrs.
Frank Squire at Whalen. She is
our correspondent there. But we
found that she doesn’t live there
any more.
And it was quite a mystery
since her usual Whalen news
still comes in every week as it
has for the past 30 years.
We finally found hei’ in Pros
pect Hill where she and her
husband have moved recgntlly.
We had overlooked the solution
to the mystery, probably her best
means of communicaton — the
telephone.
The Squire’s still go to the
church in Whalen too so they
get a good deal of the news
while chatting with their old
friends there.
Cooperation
~ Before she moved, Mrs. Squire
divided up the territory with a
friend who writes for another
weekly paper and they got to
gether, after a session on the
phone, to compare notes. That’s
about the closest cooperation
between representatives of two
newspapers we’ve seen yet.
Now she has a bit more ter
ritory to cover and she still gets
the odd tip from her friend.
Tells A Story
To a casual reader, news from
a small place like Whalen might
not seem too exciting, but to the
people who know the community
and to those in the place them
selves, it tells a whole story.
It is a fairly complete letter
form a spot busy with activity of
farm, home and church, and if
every budget of news was
placed together in sequence, it
would give a good history of the
community, its people and their
ancestors.
After Hours
Art for Exeter's sake might be
the theme this week in town. At
the gymtorium of the High
School is an exhibit which every
one should make an effort to
see.
It's not the sort of thing
which is hard to sympathize
with. Most of the pictures are
painted with the desire by the
artist to express something in
language we can all understand.
As Mr. Bice pointed out Fri
day night, the painters are just
ordinary people with a sincere
desire to express themselves
through painting.
They are not famous painters
but it’s nice to see people with
a real interest in art being
recognized for their efforts in
that direction.
The Pantry
From fifty years ago in the
Exeter paper, we found- a trea
sure in the old recipe for corn
meal Johnny Cake that grand
mother used to make.
Maybe it’s too late to serve it
hot and buttered w’ith maple
syru.p but if you still have some
syrup left, it is an ideal way to
bring just the right desert for a
light luncheon or if you wish,
in place of toast and cereal for
breakfast.
Corn Meal Johnny Cake
Take 1 cup wheat flour, 1
teaspoon baking powder sifted
through the flour, 1 full cup
corn meal, 2 tablespoons of but
ter, 1 cup sweet milk, 1 egg.
Put ingredients in mixing
bowl in above order. Bake in a
moderate oven 35 minutes., * * * *
There was a recipe for Lemon
Sponge Cake also which was just
as simple and concise.
Lemon Sponge Cake
3 eggs
cup granulated sugar
% cup sifted flour
% tsp. baking powder
The juice and grated rind of
one lean on.
Beat whites of eggs until very
stiff, beat yolks and add. When
well mixed, add sugar slowly
and beat. Add rind and juice and
beat all together.
Sift flour and baking powder.
Add and stir slowly but do not
beat after flour has been added.
Bake in moderate oven for 35
minutes.

Western Ontario Paintings
On Exhibit At High School
The opening of an exhibit by
Western Ontario painters Friday
night at Exeter District High
School’s gynitorium was attended
by over 100 of Exeter’s art en
thusiasts.
It is the first all Western On
tario show to appear in Exeter.
Paintings were chosen from the
annual exhibit which was shown
in April at the London Library.
London Painter
Clare Bice, London painter,
under whose auspices the show
was brought to Exeter, explained
that he felt the exhibit gave a
fairly comprehensive representa-
tion of what was being done in
painting in the district.
He said the paintings were
very straightforward and should
need little explanation and he
encouraged people to try to
understand the paintings rather
than passing them by without a
thought,
‘'These things haven’t had
enough precedence and it should
be a great help for you to have
them to see. If you find some
thing which seems strange to
your eye, give the artist a hear
ing so that it might broaden
