> August - “Dear Mother and all: Guess I’m overdue for
tter aga|n but we’ve had a rather hectic few days.
E veryone asks pie if I went to Expo and I guess they think
ither odd that Ididn’t.Last weekend i^ecily and I went down to Batchelor for the
kend to stay with Pat Adams, another Irish girl who is now
king for the mining company.
We took a freind of Pat’s down too, Gwei^an English teacher
is very nice, too, Pat had a house for a few weeks so she
lots of room for us, She had a little narty on Saturday
ling, and on ’Sunday we all went on a picnic at a river a few
>S 5»way. It was "a lovely weekend and so nice to go away
•night and sleep in a bed.
It got very cold at night down there, too,and we had to have
clnds of blankets’,
When we got back to Darwin one of the B.H.P, fellows was
wn for a few days and dropped in every evening. On Tuesday
Ing we were getting ready to have our dinner at the beach
i H — walked in. He is the geologist who had been in Darwin
ral months back, and has been sent back to Groote Eylands
I - 6 months, We took him along on the picnic.
had a Quota Club meeting that night so had to rush home
light o’clock and go to the‘meeting. Elizabeth and I were
cted that night and received our pins and lovely corsages.
’ played housie (bingo) afterwards and Elizabeth won three
es and I won two.
The next night, Wednesday was Michael’s )(Elizabeth’s hus-
0 birthday and ..Elizabeth had a surprise party for him, so
ok H - along. Met a Canadian girl, Milly Ward, who had
d in London for sometime and was married to a teacher
rWO and he died about two years ago, so she is having a trip
ind the world1 and is working for a few months at Michael’s
:e.
H- .left Thursday so won’t be seeing him for a few months
pas a real surprise to see him as he hadn’t expected to
>ack up this way.
On Friday night, Cecily and Trevor and I packed up our
ler and took'it to the Drive-In, and I think most everyone
else did the same thing. We took Trevor’s folding lounge
chairs along /and" a few blankets " as it get's cool out there/
“The" Incredible Journey*’“was one of the pictures’and we .
really enjoyed it.
“Had a letter from Molly this week and she ssdd she had
written to you, so I hope she will get up to see you soon.
She seems to be enjoying her work in Hamilton.
‘ “Imade a lemon pie to-day as per your recipe but something
Went wrong and it is terribly depressing. The lemon is runny.
Do you think it is not cooked enough? Have been having an
awful time with my fool-proof pie crust, too. Last week I
made some tarts to take to Pat’s and it went all crumbly
and difficult to roll out. I think the climate has some effect on
it. The girl in the next flat says she uses an egg yolk sol
shall try that next time, Cecily is very good about eating up
my failures.’?
18 September - “I received the July 1 Globe and Mail and
appreciated it very much.
“John brought me a didgeridoo which was made by one of
the Aboriginals in Arnhem Land. It is about three feet long
and has very nice Aboriginal paintings on it, I haven’t attempt
ed to play it but most everyone else has, not with any great
success though.
“We have been deluged with work at the office the past
few weeks, too, and I worked back to-night till about 10,
Expect to be doing the same for the rest of the week. We
had a slack week just before that and I was getting rather
worried as another agency has opened up, but I don’t know
how long she’ll last as the other two seem to have closed down.
“Elizabeth hasn’t been too well, -lately, and hasn’t felt
like working. She had decided to give up the partnership
and I was quite worried about that, too, however, we have app
roached Pat Adams and she is very much interested in becom
ing a partner so perhaps things will work out after all.
Pat and her girl friend spent the week-end with us, and we had a
barbecue on the beach on Saturday night.
“Pat won’t be able to join us until about February but
I’m glad she is interested as she is a lovely girl and an excel,
lent stenographer.
“It has become terribly hot and humid the past few days and
I’m sure to-day was as hot as it ever gets. We are beginning
to use the air conditioner a bit now and it really is good
to have when we have company.
“We had a surprise birthday party for Tiwor(Cicely*s
boy friend) a week ago. There were about twelve of us and
I think everyone had a good time. Cecily baked a cake and it
was quickly, eaten up.
“I have the phone now, an extension from the office phone.
It seems funny to have one now!”

Mrs, Emerson gives interesting
BAYFIELD — At the meefcr
ing of the Anglican Church
Women at ’’The Hut” on
Thursday, October 19, a mem
ber, Mrs. Emerson Heard was
given a standing vote of thanks
for her very interesting ac
count of a visit to Britain,
the first time she’d been home
since 1)336.
Her travelling companion on
the smooth flights to and from
Malton Airport was Mrs.
George Hopson.
There was a delay of about
four hours in boarding the
plane at Malton on August 26,
due to arrival of King Con.
stantine of Greece. The plane
landed at Gatwick'. Airport
next morning about 10:30 and
the ladles were met by her
niece and family who drove
her to their home in Caddlng-
ton, Hampstead, for the first
week. She went on to visit a
sister-in-law in Moyeton,
C'neshere, for a week and
then visited her brother in
Leicester, and mot Mrs, Hop-
son in London for the return
trip on September 1,6.
Highlights of her sight-see
ing trips w,ere a visit to Wind
sor Castle and St, George’s
Chapel where she saw the
changing of the guard.
At Coventry Cathedral, the
guide was most anxious to
point out where Canada had
helped. “The chairs and ceil.

account
of St. Paul’s Seacombe, and
djdn’t know a soul in the con
gregation,
One of her trips was to
Blackpool to see the colored
lights of Disneyland along the
boardwalk!
Mrs. Heard had two large
linen samplers on which were
printed maps of Chester and
district and Wales, From
these she pointed out her
travels. As well, she clrcul*
ated colored booklets and
cards of various historic spots
among her listeners,
She found the shopping cen
tres more numerous and food
high in price. Sugar was about
25 cents per pound, hambur
ger 90 cents. She noticed that
eggs were never put up in
more than half-dozen con
tainers and never in her life
had she bought a half-pound
of butter before.
“They ha ve’t means of keep
ing more,” she said.
“Housing is ' expensive. A
master plumber earns the
equivalent of $45 per week. I
really don’t know how they
make ends meet,” she con
cluded.
President Mrs, J. B.
Higgins announced . an invit
ation to members and other
interested persons to attend
the St. James branch meet
ing in St. James!*Church, Mid
dleton, on Friday, November
3 at 8 p.m. to hear Robert
Legg, Goderich, and see his
pictures taken at Norway
House, Manitoba. He was a
member of a group of young
people from Huron Diocese
who* as a Centennial project
built a new St. Mark’s Mis
sion Church at Norway House
last summer.
The Rector remembered the
sick of the parish and comm
unity in the closing prayers,
M^s. G, N, Rivers, hostess,
was assisted in serving tea
by Mrs. E. Earl. '
Ing were of polished Cana
dian spruce, very beautiful,
Mrs, Heard said.
The roof of the medieval
cathedral and interior had
been burned out by incendiary
bombs in the worst raid of the
war, November 14, 1940, but
the outer walls, tower and
spire remained intact. A few
days later, two pieces of oak
beam, charred but solid, were
fastened together by a wire
in the form of a cross and
set up In a dust bln of anti*
incendiary sand. Next morn,
ing, someone was Inspired to
use three long hand-forged
14th century nails which had
been used in the beams, to
fashion a cross. These cros
ses became the symbol of Co*
yentry Cathedral, ministry of
international reconciliation.
The new building was start
ed on June 8, 1954, new found*
ations laid March 7, 1955 and
completed on April 28, 1962,
Dominating the whole cahte.
dral is the figure of Christ
enthroned in glory on tapes
try 74 feet by 38 feet and
weighing about one ton. The
anonymous gift of a resident
of Coventry, it was made in
France and serves in place of
an East window. The whole
west wall is of clear glass
engraved with angels
saints and the like.
Mrs, Heard described
gold maple leaf set in
marble floor at the head of
the centre aisle and the rows
of pennies set in the marble
in the chancel on which the
choristers must walk (already
they are becoming worn) to
wards the High Altar.
Liverpool Cathedral and the
new Roman Catholic Cathedral
in Liverpool were points of
interest. The latter is built
around a central altar and
a most impressive edifice.

vice at her old parish church

you know
how much
it costs
to borrow
money?
At Household Finance we think you -
should. That’s why we suggest that
wherever you plan to borrow, you should
check and make sure you’re not paying
more than you would at HFC.
It’s also why, at Household, we
always tell you in advance what your
loan will cost.. . with no hidden
charges, no surprises.
We’ve always believed that borrowing
money is a serious business, something
nobody should do without careful
consideration. That’s why for years
we’ve said. ’'Never Borrow Money
Needlessly,”
But when the need is there, we are,
too. When you’ve considered carefully,
and checked costs, we' believe you’ll
find that you can borrow with
confidence from Household Finance.

MAC THOMPSON
Real live author
lives near
By Audrey Bellchamber'
Met my first real live au
thor last Wednesday evening
and found Mac Thompson just
as I had pictured him- — soft
spoken, with a ready smile,
and reluctant to sing his own
praises.
Originally from Appleton,
near Ottawa, Mr. Thompson
together with his wife and two
sons have lived near Varna
for the past four years.
He said that he had always
Varna
been interested in putting his
thoughts on paper, but until
this year, had never really
given it serious thought.Real
izing that his Centennial pro-
ject, growing a beard, was all
too common, he decided a little
extra effort was needed and the
result is his first booklet,
“Centennial Concoctions.”
His love of nature in all
its facets and the joy “Mac”
gets out of life is very clearly
portrayed on every page.
