The club members plan to
call themselves the "Holmesville

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

Drivers gamble
Most people have a gambling
streak in them somewhere —
particularly cigarette smokers,
and drivers. The Ontario Safety
League says that in an
automobile collision at 20 mph
the odds against suffering a fatal
injury are 1,000 to 1. At 75 mph
the odds are reduced to 2 to 1.

Have you ever stopped to think how many times you use
your phone during the course of a day, a week,,a year? 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.

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.

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. The Dead Room is used for precise
