Now that I am a lady of
comparative leisure, I have a
little more time for the simple
pleasures heretofore crowded
ouf by all spits of commitments
outside the home. For one
4-H Girls Show
Wl Their Last
Sewing Project
'Clinton Women’s Institute
met tin the, Agriculture board
room, February 24., Mrs, W,
Colclough, president, welcomed
the District President, Mr.s, L.
Lamb, and the mothers, of the
4-H gfrls who later demonstra
ted their project “Sleeping Gar
ments.”
Mrs. A. Crich read minutes
of the December meeting (the
January meeting 'had been can
celled). Mrs. M. Batkin gave
the treasurer’^ report. Corres
pondence was read and dealt
with. It was decided to have a
card party in the council cham
bers of the town hall on March
17 at 2 p.m.
Mrs. Norman Tyndall intro
duced the. guest speaker, Fred
Sloman who spoke on Canadian
Industries. He gave an interest
ing talk on the reason for in
dustries and how they began.
Mists Beveirly Sparks gave a
humorous recitation on TV
commercials. Miss Betty Salver-
da read an interesting paper on
the beginning of the WI by
Adelaide Hoodless and how it
has expanded to world-wide
membership.
. Ivan Crittenden favored with
two selections on his Hawaiian,
guitar.
■The 4-H girls each displayed
their work. Miss Viola Collins
who had won Provincial honors
was presented with a silver
sugar and cream set, and Miss
Hazel Collins who had won
County honors was presented
with a silver spoon.
Mrs. W. Hoggart’s group
served lunch. Mrs. C. Wise held
the lucky ticket on the draw
thing, I have been catching up
on some of the reading I have
intended to do and just finish
ed a delightful book entitled
'‘Warm Bodies” written by
Donald R, Morris.
Although the title suggest?
a torrid love story liaced with
illicit happenings that would
lift the bonnets off the ladies’
mission circle, the tale woven
by Morris contained a laugh on
every page and wisdom in each
detail.
Oddly enough, it was a sea
story itold from the viewpoint
of a young bachelor who just
happened to be elected acting
skipper when the captain left
on vacationf The problems he
encountered on board ship with
his crew and in dry dock with
his girl combined for fun-type
reading.
For me, the most intriguing
part of the book was the auth-r
or’s explanation of the title
“Warm Bodies”. Apparently the
navy uses this term to describe
persons with little ambition,
few brains, and no real purpose
for living. But let the author
say it:
“A Warm Body is la man .with
at least one arm and two fin
gers who can pick something
up when he is told to. Warm
Bodies can carry boxes, count
small objects, turn on lights,
chip paint and sweep. Warm
Body material can be,found al
most anywhere.”
When you think of it, Warm
Body is an excellent name for
a person who drifts with the
tide, letting others do his wor
rying for ihim and permitting
society to pick up his tab. Truly

a person like' that 4s just
body, actually dead but still
warm,
Howeyer, the study of Wann
Bodies does not end on this low
note for the author hastens to
point out the need fop persons
of this calibrg. He says there
are certain jobs that only Warm
Bodies can do—either because
they are not quite sb proud or
because they are more easily
satisfied. Any way you look at
it, these are two qualities more
folks need for they are the bas
is of happy living.
I suppose everyone knows
someone who could be classed
as a. Warm Body and while we
who think ourselves more bene
ficial. to society are secretly
chortling about our accomplish
ments, we may find ourselves
strangely envious of the Warm
Body. Without even knowing
Why, we are jealous, of his
ability to eke out an existence
and be happy doing it.
We get to wondering whether
the day to day struggle for
bread and the higher priced
spread is really worth the ef
fort. Sometimes the desire to
succeed lands to .ulcers, mental
madness, unnecessary worry and
petty problems unknown the
Warm Bodies worthy of the
name What is even more dis
turbing, the 'higher on the social
ladder we climb, the more ac-
cute our symptoms become.
,1 guess it is clearly a mat
ter of preference. For those un
fulfilled as Warm Bodies, it be
comes a ’question not of what
makes us happy—for chances
arc we haven't learned the art
of contentment — but rather
what leaves us less miserable.
Often it is the reaching, not
the attaining, which holds the
most real pleasure for us.
Whatever we chose for our
selves, there is-a place in the
general scheme of things for us.
All we must do is make the
wise’ choice—-and that’s the dif
ficult part.-----------o-----------

it’s bridal showers we’i'C talk
ing .about today, not the wealh-
erman’s variety. Fox’ in recent

even September and October
are rivalling June.for wedding
popularity, ’

Foods Service Bureau have put
their heads together and come

Of coume, each and every one
of these -wonderful sweet treats
boasts that incomparable flavor
of butter . . . because we know
that any hostess worth her salt
proffers her best baking to her
guests.
Arid if .you haven't any show
er plans in the near future,
chances 'are it won’t be too long
before you'll find yourself hon
oring a luciry bride. So why not
'tuck these recipies away for
future reference. Wei’ll wager
you’ll be using them very soon.

Here-Comes-The-Bride Cake
The guest of honor will be'
thrilled when this beautiful
cake appears at her shower.
Looks difficult, we’ll admit. But
it’s really simple to prepare and
assemble. This bride’s “skirt” is
a conventional butter cake
(which means guaranteed good
flavor) baked in a fluted jelly
mold. The bride herself is a
dime store doll, trimmed with
a touch of organza for bodice
and veil. The final touch . . .
a simple scalloping with colored
butter frosting on her billowy
“skirt”.

deal of spare time to spend in
the kitchen stirring, blending

to make too many sticky, gooey
