Dickins conducted the panel discussion on the new study book “Who Dares Stand Idle?” at the Trivitt Memorial W.A. held in the parish hal-l last Tues­ day evening, Other members on the panel were Mrs. H. Kelson, Mrs. H Hey­ wood, Mrs. M. Hodgins and Mrs. N. D. Knor They exemplified the harnessing of the mighty water’s and the drawing of wealth from barren wastes causing Canada’s every changing scene. The ques­ tions arise “What kind of people ate to develop the resources of this country? What kind of peo­ ple are filling the great ernty spaces of Canada? What kind of people are representing the church to the Eskimo Athe Indian, the scattered settlements on the prairies and to those who come from a different Christian tra­ dition in Central Europe or else­ where? The consensus of the panel was that the Christian opportunity in. terms of simple friendliness is immense, because both those who move and those who find them­ selves confronted by strange neighbors are affected and that all members of Christ’s church cannot stand idle in the of change. Members of the W.A. asked to assist with the , Helpers party to be held next Saturday afternoon under Mrs W.

The meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Vernon Heywood. The next meeting will be the election Of officers. Back Talk The term “homemaker” has re­ placed that of the last decade, “housewife”. Housewife implied simply a wife who stayed home and looked after affairs around ■the house. Homemaker means an up-to- date wife who also stays home to look after affairs of the home, font as in the change of there is a change in duty. Rapid-Fire Life Here we move into the _ ent realm of rapid-fire life which demands that our homes be ab­ solutely free of dust; that our children be perfectly adjusted individuals; that ouir -washings reaqh the clothes-lines at the crack of dawn Monday .morning; that our husbands bear tummys •and smiles to match those worn •by the Pilgrim Fathers after the first Thanksgiving dinner. It asks that we meet each situation with calm and confidence and that we sit down to our evening meals looking as if we hadn’t a care or chore in the world, No Ruts Please To keep out of a rut we must either take a part-time job or belong ito enough organizations to be sure that we’re always be­ hind in our ironing. Our modern machines and ap­ pliances provide means whereby we may clean our homes, launder our clothes,, prepare meals and wash dishes better and faster. But they eliminate any excuses for failure to do these jobs to today’s standard of- perfection. Try For Perfection And in our lust to live tip "to these sltandards, we eliminate the most important excuse—that con­ cerned with our own individual calcifies of mental and physical energy. And we don’t measure up. If there’s one mother with small children who does, she deserves a special place—-on Olympus. Comparisons Now-a-days we have a baby arid two weeks later we must .be back holding 'the household reins. We’ll wager that ten years ago it was necessary for the average mother of a new baby to have full-time help for a month after her children were born.
