Trivitt WA Panel Sees Challenge Mrs, R. Dickins conducted the panel discussion on the new study book “Who Dares Stand Idle?” at - the Trivitt Memorial held in the parish hall last day eveiHrig. (Other members on the ___ were Mrs. H. Kelson, Mrs. H Hey­ wood, Mrs. M. Hod gins and Mrs. N. D. Knox 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 are to develop the reSources of this country? What kind of peo­ ple are filling the great emty spaces of Canada? What kind of people are represen ting 'the church to the Eskimo, the .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 Christianxoppontunity 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. Middleton’s leadership. It was decided to hold the W.A. annual St. Andrew’s Day corporate com­ munion service next Sunday. W.A.

At their next meeting on December 19 instead of an exchange of Christmas gifts a collection will be .taken for the Children’s Aid Society in Goderich. 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, but 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 our washings reach 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 to 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 up to these Standards, we eliminate the •most important excuse—that con­ cerned with our own individual capacities 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 and two weeks later we must he 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. We try hard to produce meals which hint of Grandma’s cooking skill, yet chances are, Grandma had someone in once a week to help with cleaning, a visiting gardener and a lady twice a year to do her sewing. Equal? Are we really so changed as to become equal to the pace? Are we gradually producing a race of women, who can be politicians or club chairmen and wives, moth­ ers, homemakers with wit, glam­ our and a never-ending* flow of energy.?We wonder—-during the days When the whole household jumps spasmodically as things go wrong and there is present anything but a feeling of calm being. Take A Look We wonder when we obviously tired mother hear some ____ __ bellowing at her child on the street or a nervous Wife arguing with her husband or another sigh heavily on returning home ait night after a meeting to face a .sink full of dishes to be washed.
