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. 0-0-0 Dm Im i —mr-tni ■ —esyi ■ lartni Hotel Brunswick COFFEE SHOP |fl o o n o The Business Girls* & Men’s Luncheon is inexpensive and served at noon and evening.

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- the handiest little hooklets seen for some time is the Farm Book, published to consist? of two plywood boxes, one inside the other with insulating mat­ erial jp between. A prcrassembled re- frigerption unit is installed in the home-made cabinet. Plans in tlie booklet are ratKer sketchy and uierely give one an idea of how the cabinet is made. Detailed plans are, available from the manufac­ turer of Sylvaply or from refrigerat­ ion companies specializing in pre-as­ sembled refrigeration Units. in with all I the declara-• ® ■Parrott; MORRIS TO APPROVE NEW SEAFORTH H.

We also sponsored a baking class at the fall fair especially for New Canadians. We gained much in the way of friendship through this project.” Incidentally Kendal reports that their most interesting meeting of the year was the meeting when New Can­ adian women of the community dem­ onstrated national dishes of their homelands, the Netherlands, Czecho­ slovakia- and Poland. And Hunting­ don East’s outstanding programme of the year was put on by a visiting In­ dian Homemakers’ Club, the Indian women giving the addresses and the entire programme. Exchange visits with Homemakers' Clubs are becom­ ing very popular with Institutes in areas close to an Indian Reserve, Altogether, being a good neighbour may be one of the most effective things a Women’s Institute can do. .

SALE PRICE li CALLAN SHOES 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.
