Mrs- Alvin IfutOt Wag Vle" hostess last WednesclaY fo the regular meeting -Pf the St. JaineS Middleton, There were eight members and the rector, the Reverend E, J. B. Harrison, preSerlt. The president, Mrs. Edward Wise, opened the Meeting with a lovely poem, "Hegrt Gift‘s," Mrs, Keith Miller gave the secretary's report and Mrs. Dutot the financial report. In contrast to or M defiance of the blustery elements and icy roads, the overall theme and emphasis was on love and hearts, the Valentine motif. The roll call word was love. The rector was in charge a meditation. He read a treatise on love from Dean Ines' "Anthology of Love." Mrs. Ray Wise read a timely article on "The Origin of $t. Valentine's Day," noting that February 14 is also the traditional date for the mating of love birds. At one time, she said, valentines were venemous and anonymous. They are now sentimental and humourous. Valentine's Day commemorates the martyrdom of St. Valentine for love, circa 70 A.D., said Mrs. Wise. She also conducted a "heart" contest but declared no winner Mrs. Joseph Storey read a most interesting Christmas letter from our prayer partner, Miss Yoshiko Nonaka of Kyoto, Japan. Thank-you's for cards were received from Carol and Barbara Kilgour and Alfred Hudie. Mrs. Fred Middleton gave a resume of A.C.W. social service obligations. There are two crib quilts done and a third in process. In answer to an appeal from the Clinton Hospital Auxiliary, it was decided to subscribe to 10 memberships. Mrs. Middleton shelved a parochial letter on racial discrimination but read a most colourful letter from Jerry Fremlin (formerly of Clinton) on his recent trip to India, a land of appalling contrasts in standards of living. On behalf of all present, Mrs. Fred Middleton wished the president, Mrs. Edward Wise, a most happy holiday in Florida. The rector closed this very pleasant meeting with prayer after which IVIrs. Dutot and Mrs. Deeves, assisted by little Cindy Middleton, served a delicious lunch. Our congratulations to Miss Mantle Middleton, who • represented the Holmesville School as their Carnival Queen at 1i lEn3 • in Clinton last Saturday.

Probably not. Well, whether it's to order a forgotten item from the store; arrange for a baby sitter, change an appointment, check on the car or chat with a friend, there's a good chance you make more. calls in a year than your conriterparts elsewhere in the world. • • According othe latest figures, Canadians are still the most talkative people in tie world when it comes to telephones. Mind you, Americans are running a close second. In 1967, Canadians averaged 667.7 calls per person; that's .7 more than our friends south of the border. Mum's the word in Burma, however; citizens there made the least number of calls — an average .7,each in 1967 Of the 222 million telephones in the world in that year, more than 103 million were located in the United States, Canada was in sixth place with 8.4 million phones in service — that's 40.65 telephones for every 100 people, The average for the world is 6.4 phones for every 100 persons. The statistics are compiled annually by -the American' Telephone and Telegraph Company and are one year behind because it takes close to 12 months to gather figures from all parts of the world. * * * • s . • With all those calls — almost 3,000 for a family of four you might wonder if you'll soon wear the markings right off your telephone dial. It isn't likely, because they aren't painted on the surface. They're molded right into the. dial in a two.step operation. First, a plastic plate is formed with spaces left in the shape of the numbers, letters and dots. Then the spaces are filled with a contrasting shade of plastic. So dial away. It will take a great many fingers dialing a great many calls before the markings on your dial begin to wear away. * * * If I were to ask where to find the noisiest place in the World, I bet I'd get as many different answers as there are reader of this column. But I'm not going to ask because, if there is one thing that's easy to find these days, it's noise. Quiet? Now that's another story. Still there are a few remaining havens where quiet reigns supretne, and one of them is the anechoic chamber ot "Dead Room" at Northern Electrit's Research and Development Labs in Ottawa. The room is shielded from 99 per cent of noise by thick masonry walls, itolation from the building in which it is housed and elaborate acoustical filters lining the robin and Ventilation system.
