She said they were living in an age of growing self-indulgence and of hard- ening materialism. Some of the prin- ciples on which the family and there- fore the health of the nation was founded, were in danger, She was speaking to an audience of 3,600 wo- men, members of the Mother's Union. She urged them to help maintain the Christian doctrine that the relation- !, ship of husband and wife was a perma- nent one and not easily broken. Child- ; reit, who learn by example, must be I church and also practice Christianity taught to say their prayers and go to in their own lives. It was a timely reminder for the world and should carry great weight coming from the heiress presumptive to the throne of England who is 22 herself and a mother. * * * UNITED NATIONS FOURTH ANNIVERSARY On Oct. 24, 1949, just four years after the signing of the San Francisco Charter, the United Nations met in special open-air session at the site of NEW $ SIGN ON 3BRITISH GOODS Devaluation of the pound sterling reduced prices on a variety of ,Iritisit goods, including shoes, cloth- rirsg and automobiles. But it is reported tliriECA the dealers that these savings will be short lived and prices will re- gaound in the near future as British manufacturers are increasing their prices. One retailer slashed his prices on English men's shoes from $25 to $18,75 but since then has been advised tai a 15% increase by the manufact- urer. Another dealer reduced his stock isy: 25% but since has had the same notification. In the clothing line, the male shop- er fares better than the woman. Men's English cashmere sweaters, wool socks, sport jackets and slack are cheaper. Suit and shirts aren't affected yet un- tit the new material arrives but then t2 hey expect merely a 10% drop be- cause material costs are about half the retail price. Women's clothing does rsrot show the decline in price as Cana- dian and U.S. items are more fashion- able and more in demand. A few wool sweaters were marked down but there too the manufacturer has given notice Winghain Advance-Times Published at WINGHAM - ONTARIO McCool, Editor and Publisher Wttenaber Audit Bureau pi Circulation authorized as Senor' Class Man Post Office Department iffth5cription Rate — One year $2,00 Six Months $1.00 in advance To U.S.A. 2.50 per year Foreign Rate $3.00 per year Advertising rates on application Vol. 77 No, 11 PRINCESS ELIZABETH SPEAKS ON BRITISH MORALE Princess Elizabeth left the course casually followed by the Royal family PURDON'S BAKERY 'PHONE 145 WINGHAM The Home Of, QUALITY BREAD, CAKES, PASTRY : • We take orders Daily • ; (Saturday to 12 noon) Haseigtoire's SMOKE SHOP - for - Smokers' SUNDRIES MAGAZINES SOFT DRINKS There is a tendency to keep piling up bids until game is reached on hands that should be played at the range of one or two, This is quite noticeable in several hands played at Bridge Club recently.

Consequen- tly his one club bid is clearly prescrib- ed. South might consider a response of two clubs, but with his 4-3-3-3 dis- tribution he has too little playing strength for this raise. The no trump response shows approximately 114r honour tricks and balanced distribu- tion and therefore gives a much clear- er picture of his hand, without getting above the range of one. Incidentally, either response should definitely close the bidding as far as North is con- cerned. It may be pertinent to add that if North made the error of opening with one no trump, South should pass.

President Truman made a s pecial trip from Washington to ad- dress the Assembly's 59 delegations. Seats were arranged for 10,000 others. The President laid stress on the im- portance of the buildings as being the centre of luau's hope for peace. lie called for international atomic energy control. The design for the new structure is the wi irk of Hugh Ferris of New York, His drawings show the new buildings to have simplicity of shape with white marble sides and stainless steel and glass walls. The main building, which will be done first, is not unlike a flat 50 cigaret box and will be built to a height of 39 stories. * DONALD GORDON HEADS C.N.R. The Canadian National Railwayl the biggest railroad in the Western Hemisphere, will have as its new boss, Jan. 1, Donald. Gordon, 47, deputy giv- ernor of the Bank of Canada. Gordon's first big public job was setting up a foreign exchange control system at the outbreak of World War II, He proved himself to be one who could Please the public under difficult cir- cumstances when he was borrowed later by the government icir the much tougher job of running the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, For a role that might easily have made enemies all around as he strait-jacketed wages and prices, he calmly won friends by explaining publicly the need for these controls. A Scottish immigrant who came to Canada early in life, he first got a job at the age of 15, as a clerk in the Bank of Nova Scotia. He be- came first secretary of the new Bank of Canada at the age if 34, and three years later was made deputy to Gra- ham Towers, Governor of the Bank of Canada, The government-owned C.N.R. which has grown into a 2.4 billion con- cern, operates 24,178 miles of main track, twelve hotels, three steamship lines, an airline and a nationwide tel- egraph service. Except for the war years, it has seldom shown a net pro- fit on its operations and has been crit- iiczed by many as a white elephant. Donald Gordon is expected to sell to the public the C.N.R. as a national necessity and to find ways and means of lightening its financial load. * * * FALL GARDENING TASKS All the vegetables from the garden, will by this time be stored away in a cool spot in the basement. The bulbs and dahlia roots that must be brosight in before winter will have been set, aside to dry before storing them away. Now is the time for the last clean-up jobs outside 'before the snow comes. • If the garden soil is heavy it should be dry. Digging lets the air and frost in and makes the earth more, pliable in the spring. Gravel or sandy soil that is well drained, need not be dug but should have a good coating of manure. Lime is necessary in the soil as it has- tens bacterial action and corrects acids ity. The soil in Ontario is usually on the alkaline side and so not much lime is needed, Once every 3 or 4 years it = is a good idea to broadcast it around i to the amount of 2-3 lbs. per 100 sq, la foot. It may be in the form of hydrated 11 lime or ground limestone, Mums are about the only flowers = in bloom now and so the perennial i border may be cleaned up. The leaves should be raked off and the dead stems cut. Even the Iris can be snipped back • isTs to a few inches from the ground and all the weeds and grass cleaned out from among them. All the leaves, weeds and twitch grass should be care- fully burned as piles of them provide winter quarters for insects and pests. Seeds from dried weeds fall to the to ground only to germinate next spring and so care should be taken in remov- TT, ing the weeds lest the seeds be shaken = on the garden. Perennials that need i protection may be mounded up. Ever- green boughs make the best protection later. sa, Soil may be prepared for the hot E bed. The best proportions are 2 parts loam, 1 part sand and 1 part peat U moss, It is a good idea to bring inside some soil for repotting plants during the winter. A very good mixture for El home plants is 2 parts garden loam, 1 • part sand, 1 part peat moss and 1 cup is- bone meal to each bushel. Spring is usually a very busy time for the gardener. Any other little jobs that can be done now will make it easier when April and May come round—and they will! a * * KNOW WINGHAM Winter is jusf around the corner and iu Wingham many welcome the winter season as the happiest and friendliest of the year. Winter brings back favorite inter- ests and activities; the Choral So- ciety; the Bridge and Dramatic Clubs; Hockey; Curling, Skating, the Con- cert Series, Horse Shows and Winter Pairs.
