Husqvarna 2000
The first Husqvama was nick-named "the catback" way
back in 1872. It was an interesting design with a lever move-
ment instead of an arm shaft.
This was followed by a long line of sewing machines incor-
porating some of the most advanced technical innovations
of the times. Then, millions of machines later, Husqvarna
2000... the sewing machine that has been making world
news since 1962.
Don't just take our word for it. Ask the individuals the
world over who have come to rely on Husqvarna's
dependability.

Three missionaries to take
part in "Emphasis Weekend"
preach at Carmel, and then visit
the-Sunday School. Miss Hanna
will visit the Caven Sunday
school and preach at the same
church and Miss Welch will be
Miss Wilma Coates of London
and Mrs. R. H. (Shirley) Doherty
and Richie of Mt. Clemens,
Michigan visited for the weekend
with their father Whitney Coates
while their mother, Viola Coates
was in hospital. Misses Denise
and Debra Doherty visited with
their grandparents on Sunday.
My sympathy goes out to all
parents of young children. For
the past two months, you have
been sabotaged by TV com-
mercials and Christmas
catalogues. The ads attack you in
a round-about yet effective way -
through your kids.
When the children come home
from school, their favourite
programs are on TV. They see
ten minutes of a show; then they
watch five minutes of com-
mercials, describing all the fun
they can have with the super new
toys and games.
"Put Evel Knievel through his
daredevil stunts, Wreck your car
in the smash-up derby, and then
repair it in your garage, Pull
Bugs Bunny's ring, and he'll talk
to you. He says eight different
phrases, You never know what
he's going to say next, until
you've memorized the eight lines.
Cook a meal in a little kitchen,'
that's just like Mommy's. It has a
kitchen cabinet, an oven, a
refrigerator freezer, a dish-
washer and a sink that holds
water. Then serve the meal on
your three-piece dinette set,
Invite Barbie's friends to a pool
party in her very own swimming
pool. Dress her up for a night on
the town or for camping in her
camper or for cycling on her ten-
speed bike or for sailing on her
yacht." Barbie lives higher than
most of we adults.
"Ask your mommy and daddy
to buy you the walking dog that
shakes his head, wags,his tail and
barks at your command."
Hundreds of games exist,
suitable for all ages. The most
appropriate ones for adults are
"Trouble," "Headache,"
"Aggravation" and "Sorry," The
one that gives the best advice is
"Don't Cook Your Goose,"
You're probably wondering
why I complain, when I have no
children. However, I too have felt
the heart-break of seeing an
expensive toy abandoned on the
floor, while a youngster plays
with the empty box.
My oldest nephew wants only
one thing for Christmas - a slide
projector. Meanwhile, my niece
has given me the choice of a
stereo or a typewriter.
I made a deal with them. If my
nephew persuades Santa Claus to
give him a projector, I'll buy
some film for his camera. If my
niece convinces old Saint Nick to
give her a stereo, I'll buy her a
record.
My youngest nephew is three-
and-one-half years old, One of his
favourite books is the Christmas
catalogue. He plops it under my
nose and flips through the pages
exclaiming, "I want that and that
and that. And there's Ernie and
Bert and the Cookie Monster.
That truck would be fun, too.
Look at that old car!"
How can I explain to a three-
year-old that his poor old aunt is
almost broke? I'm just not in the
$10.99 Jaguar class; a 99 cent
mini-car is more my style.
How should we handle the "I
want this and I want that" syn-
drome? Should we evade the
issue by saying, "We'll see"?
Should we try to reason with the
children? Should we assure them,
"Those toys aren't what they're
cracked up to be" or "You
couldn't play with all those things
at once, anyway" or "You'd
soon get tired of them"?
Should we explain some
financial facts? "Those things
cost money, and money doesn't
grow on trees, you know."
These little details aren't
mentioned on the TV ads or in the
catalogue descriptions. The
children on the television seem to
be having fun; naturally the ones
who watch at home want to try
the toys, too.
Once upon a time I thought TV
advertising, aimed directly at
children, would be banned. I
must have been dreaming. The
advertisements continue to tempt
the children, who in turn besiege
their parents.

Mrs. Edna Passmore will
celebrate her eighty-sixth
birthday on Saturday,
November 1.
Three prominent missionaries

Emphasis Weekend" being

The three team members
coming for the event are Miss

and the Rev. "Mac" MacLean,
synodical superintendent of
missions for Manitoba.
The event starts this Saturday

communities.
A pot luck family luncheon will

Hensall and following this there
will be special sessions for adults
as well as children.
The three will be equally busy
on Sunday. Rev. MacLean will
OCTOBER 31St

Miss Hanna has travelled
extensively in her church duties,
having been in India, Japan,
Taiwan, Spain, Mexico, Greece,
Russia, New Zealand, Australia
and Africa. A former school
teacher, she has served on a
number of national committees
and has written a teen-age study
guide.
Miss Welsh has spent most of
her missionary time in Taiwan,
starting out as an English
language secretary in the office
of the Presbyterian Church in
Taiwan,
The third team member, Rev.
MacLean, is a veteran of World
War II and upon his return and
joining the ministry, started
Knox Presbyterian Church in
Yorkton, Sask. He later served in
Moose Jaw before assuming the
role of superintendent of missions
for Manitoba.
