WHICH TO CHOOSE Water Repellent or Waterproof Coat When shopping for a raincoat or an all-weather coat, you may have asked for a water- proof garment, when you really wanted one that was water- repellent. What's the difference? According to basic defini- tions, a 100% waterproof gar- ment is for you if you're likely to be out in a hard, cold rain for hours. However, in most waterproof rainwear, the ma- terial is non -porous, and air cannot circulate freely. That's why a waterproof "slicker" is not very comfortable on a hot day. When a garment has a water-repellent finish, as most cotton all-weather coats have, it repels moisture. Such a gar- ment gives adequate protection in an average rainfall, and sheds water even after repeated washings and dry cleanings. The porous cotton fabric so treated still "breathes", keep- ing you comfortable when the weather is warm. For best protection, choose an all-weather coat made of cotton twill, poplin or cotton sateen. These fabrics have tighter weaves which absorb more of the water-repellent finish. One of the secrets of making perfect tea -biscuits is to use all-purpose flour and knead lightly. 000.0 0000000000000 MISS L. ROBERTSON leaves this Week 'For Spokane,Wash. Several functions have been held recently in honor of Miss Leah Robertson, who expected to leave town this week for `Spokane, Wash., and then on to California, She was the recipient of beautiful gifts as remembrances of her many friends here. Miss Robertson has been a valued and active member of several organizations, the Re- bekah Lodge and the United Church. She is a capable nurse and will be greatly missed by her friends and neighbors, who have many times known her kindness, professionally and otherwise. The Business and Profession- al Women's Club, of which Miss Robertson is a chartermem- ber and has served as recording secretary, gathered for a pot luck supper at the Bluevale cottage of Mr. and Mrs, Jack Alexander. Other hostesses prior to her departure were Mrs. Wilford Caslick, who entertained the bridge club, and Mrs, Arthur MacDonald of Teeswater who opened her home to another group of friends. The Rebekah Lodge present- ed Miss Robertson with an en- graved compact at its last meet- ing, eeting. Mrs, D. McTaggert, assisted by Mrs. K. Leitch, Mrs. Helen McBurney, Mrs. Robert Ahara and Miss Yvonne McPherson, entertained about 25 neighbors at a party for Miss Robertson and Mrs. James Carr, who has sold her home here and will live in Toronto. LESS WATER WITH PLASTIC House plants in plastic pots do not need to be watered as often as those in the standard clay pot. The plastic type con- tainer is smooth and non -por- ous consequently water does not evaporate through its walls; the condition of the surface soil usually indicates when wa- ter is required. 36 4-H CLUB LEADERS took e course on dairy products called "The Mllky Way" at the community centre in the Arena last week.

Mouth anc A year ago, a project was launched for the first time in Canada: the sale of greeting cards reproduced from paint- ings by artists who, through sickness or accident, lost the use of their hands. As in most other parts of the world, the project was a great success with Canadians from coast to coast. It has now been decided to offer a new select- ion, chosen from outstanding paintings by mouth and foot painting artists, to the Canad- ian public. Painted on the back of each card is the name of the painter, and whether the original was painted with the foot or the mouth. The cards are again distribu- ted by Rehandart Canada Limit- ed, Suite 507, 160 Bay St. , Toronto, subsidiary of the As- sociation of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists with headquart- ers in the Principality of Liech- tenstein. As a result of the sale of these reproductions, the handi- Foot Paintings Successful capped artists who own the As- sociation and represent some fifteen different nationalities, including Canada, and who would otherwise be dependent on charity, can earn an ade- quate living in their chosen field, give inspiration and faith to those similarly afflicted and joy to all. The enthusiastic acceptance of these reproductions by mil- lions throughout the world has made it possible for the Associ- ation to accept eight more artists as full members in the past year and to award scholar- ships to six additional handi- capped men and women who may thus eventually be able to join the group as well. Among the latter is Canada's Donna Graham of Edmonton; a talent- ed young painter who is almost totally paralyzed. To avoid misunderstandings about the character of the Asso- ciation, which operates entire- ly for the benefit of its artist - members, it has recently sub - ST. ANDREW'S W.M.S.

I gave a thought, and through that thought of mine, He found himself, the man, supreme, divine! Fed, clothed, and crowned with blessings manifold And now he kegs no more!" With this call to worship, the president, Miss V. Mc- Lauglin opened the September meeting of St, Andrew's Mission- ary Society. "0 Master, Let Me Walk with Thee" was sung, followed by the minutes, roll call and discussion of business. The offering was received and dedicated by Mrs. R. Galbraith. Another hymn "Jesus Calls Us O'er the Tumult" was sung. The topic was given in dia- logue by Mrs. J. McKague and Miss C. Isbister. This was a very interesting comprehensive study of Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a small territory of about 62 square miles and yet the population is 2 million people, of whom 90% arc Chin- ese. This is because .Hong Kong has been very generous in opening her doors to refugees from the mainland, Because 47c7 of the population is under 15 years of age, there is a great need for recreation cen- tres and schools. Although 1, 000 new schools have been built since l:,46, many child- ren still do not have the op- portunity of attending. There is much work for the church in Hong Kong for if good seed is not sown, weeds will grow -- so the church must not neglect her opportunities there. Mrs. W. McKague offered prayer. The devotions, taken by Miss K. Pringle, were in the form of a challenge to the members, as Christians. She read from Isaiah 55 and Rom- ans 12. She suggested self examination in these days of rapid change, to see the needs both overseas and at home. We must change our thinking and our whole missionary ap- proach so that displaced persons may make sense out of what we offer. We must be willing to serve them, with them or under their supervision, so that God's purposes may be fulfilled. The meeting closed with the hymn "Faith in Thy Name" followed by prayer by Mrs. A. Hastings. EARLIEST AUTOGRAPHS, CUNEIFORM WRITINGS We think of autographs as being the signatures of famous people. The more professional definition of an autograph (which means "self -written") is a document, manuscript or letter completely handwritten, with or without a signature. The earliest autographs were cuneiform writings on baked clay tablets — not the sort of thing one could easily include in a modern autograph book. in Canac mitted an audited statement to all Better Business Bureaus in Canada, showing the distribut- ion of receipts in the past year. This statement shows that the handicapped artists, who form the Association, received 76.3% of the gross receipts, while 13.5% went for exhibit- ions and publicity and 10.2% for administrative expenses. The reproductions are sold by direct mail. The reason for this method is that this is the only way in which their unique origin and qualities can be fully explained and recognized. It is also hoped that this will make it possible to find addit- ional handicapped artists in Canada and elsewhere, whose work is of sufficiently high quality to make them accept- able as Association members. CANADA'S EARL BAILLY Earl Bailly, a member of the Association, was born in 1902. He lives in the seaport town of Lunnenburg, N.S. At the age of two he was the vic- tim of polio. He started to paint with a brush in his mouth at a very early age and when a he was 14, decided to become a professional painter. Most of his paintings are seascapes, which he sketches near his home and paints in his studio. Mr. Bailly says, "As I am completely helpless I must be carried and cared for in every way. Since I became a mem- ber of the Handicapped Associ- ation I feel I can afford help. They are truly wonderful," B&PW Meet at 1- "41,„› St. Andrew's The Business and Profession- al Women's Club held its regu- lar meeting in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church parlour Tuesday evening, in the form of a pot luck supper.
