“MALTA STORY”
Alec Guinness .Muriel Pavlow
Jack Hawkins'*
Heard a sad tale the other day of
a woman who didn’t heed all the ad
vice we’ve been giving about shopping
in town. Instead of doing her shopping
in Wingham, where she knows the
merchants and where she knows she
can get satisfaction, she shopped
elsewhere, with dire consequences.
It seems she was passing through
one''of the towns to the south, and
having a brief period of freedom while
her husband attended to some business
matters there, she walked down the
main drag to look oyer the shops, as
women will. And as women will, she
got into a dress store where she spied
a dress that appealed to her. For
getting all our injunctions about buy
ing locally, she purchased the garment
and brought it home to Wingham.
When she got home she opened her
parcel and found the dress she ad
mired in the shop didn’t look quite
so nice at home. In fact there were
several very small moth holes in it.
She contacted the shop and was told
that if she would send .back the dress
they would “see what they could do
about it”. She sent the dress back and
awaited developments.
That was two and a half months
ago. Finally last week she gave them
a call and was told that inquiries had
been made, but nothing had been
heard so far,’ They were sure she
would receive credit and would let her
know when they heard if anything
new developed. So far, it hasn’t.
Meantime she is without the dress,
without the money, and without any
means of getting satisfaction, unless
she wants to drive down there and
cause a fuss. Even then nobody will
pay for the phone calls, the parcel
post and the wear and tear on the
nerves.
Any way you look at it, it pays to
shop at home.

acquaint the farmer with the uses of
plywood around the farm. The book
is available at Beaver Lumber for the
asking.
The booklet, which of course is pro
motion material for Sylvaply products,
has a number of rough plans for im
plement sheds, milking parlours, beef
cattle shelters and barns, all con
structed of plywood. Mixed in with
the plans are details of how best to
use plywood and methods of applica
tion.
Although most of the ideas in the
book "are not particularly detailed,
they give you a very fair' idea of what
Can be done with plywood. References
are given in some cases as to where
more detailed plans for the projects
can be obtained. Most, of the plans
listed can be had for a nominal price.
The last section of the book is de
voted to remodelling and making ex
tra rooms in your home with the use
of plywood. Basic details in panelling
cellars and attic rooms is covered as
well as making . partitions, storage
walls and cupboards.
One of the projects which interested
us was the home freezing cabinet con-

Farm Book, published to
consist? of two plywood boxes, one
inside the other with insulating mat

frigerption unit is installed in the
home-made cabinet.
Plans in tlie booklet are ratKer

of how the cabinet is made. Detailed

Incidentally Kendal reports that
their most interesting meeting of the
year was the meeting when New Can

homelands, the Netherlands, Czecho

the year was put on by a visiting In

entire programme. Exchange visits
with Homemakers' Clubs are becom

Altogether, being a good neighbour
may be one of the most effective
things a Women’s Institute can do. .

Good neighbouring has always been
a practice of a good Women’s Insti
tute, and not only through such or
ganized projects as working for hos
pitals, children’s shelters and old
people’s homes. These groups of rural
women seem to find the most original,
personal ways of meeting a need as
it arises. For instance, the Aylmer In-
titute started a fund to buy an arti
ficial eye for a young immigrant. Al
lenwood sends home baking to famil
ies in time of bereavement. Alliston
helped a new Canadian music teacher
by, giving her the use of their room,
rent free, as a place to do her teach
ing, Another branch reports sending
gifts to a woman “whose finances had
been exhausted through illness.”
Institutes express their neighborli
ness in sociability, too especially in
sociability with newcomers and
strangers in the community.
Beehive Institute in North Welling
ton has done an interesting piece of
work in conducting a cooking school
for their, new neighbours recently ar
rived from Holland. The Dutch wom
en asked for this help in learning
Canadian ways of cooking, and they,
themselves, organized the classes. The
Canadian Institute women took"turns
in giving the courses according to
their special abilities. The secretary
reports: “One of our members offer
ed us the use of her very modern kit
ehen and the Institute members paid
all expenses. Wo had two classes of
Dutch-Canadian ladies, one of women
and one of girls. We taught them how
to make tea biscuits, muffins, pies,
tarts, cakes of all kinds and at their
