Moffatt and Mrs. W. D. Congram, opelift'd with an invocation by the presi- dent, Miss V. McLaughlin. The devotional topic was taken by Mrs. W. E. Ford and centred around the beatitudes in Matthew, chapter five, She pointed out that these verses are not impossible standards but a series of facts. In this pas- sage of Scripture, Jesus' follow- ers are compared with salt which adds a zest to life and to light which helps to show the way. Mrs. Ford said we might ask ourselves if our behaviour in our daily contacts reflects God's love; as individual Can- adians, do we show the light to others, or do we leave it to someone else to do this? The study for the month was "Light for all the World" Matt. 5: 14-16 and was conducted by Mrs. F. Moffatt. It was dis- cussed under several headings: !Mrs. J. McKague and Mrs. G. Godkin spoke of the resentment of the countries of South -East Asia toward the peoples of the Western world who are trying to help them. Mrs. A. Hastings, Mrs. L. Palmer and Mrs. R. J. Galbraith discussed the various problems facing those who work in South -East Asia. Mrs. J. Schneider and Mrs. H. V. Pym spoke on the necessity of light- ing the lamp at home and of responsibility as to prayer, sup- port, reading, and encouraging missionary studies in Sunday Schools, Young People's groups, and Mission Bands. A discussion by various mem- Mrs. Mooney to Run for Mayor By W. E. Elliott GODERICH--Mrs. May Mooney, deputy reeve of Gode- rich, arrived at the opening session of county council just a shade late, which is not usual in her case, and soon afterward a box of cigars was being cir- culated among the members by sergeant -at -arms Jim Shear - down. Warden Forbes remarked that to the best of his knowledge it was the first time a lady had donated smokes. He was able now to surmise why the deputy reeve had not been as early as usual. Mrs. Mooney is to be a can- didate for the mayoralty in Goderich, and for years has headed the poll for whatever office she sought, but success- ful or not she will not be back in county council. Hence, per- haps, the cigars. HEAR SPEAKER ON Communications Development The Business and Profession- al Women's Club met in St. Am drew's Presbyterian Church par- lour Tuesday evening for the monthly dinner meeting with 37 members and visitors present. Mrs. J. Ostrom, president, wel- comed elcomed the guests. Miss Mildred McClenaghan, Mrs. Art McDonald and Miss Isabel Fortune were in charge of the program. Miss McClenaghan introduc- ed the guest speaker, Mr. Ross of Owen Sound, business office supervisor of the Bell Telephone Company, who spoke on how the telephone has developed. Miss Fortune thanked Mr. Ross, who had travelled such a dis- tance to be with them, for his very informative and enlight- ening talk on the telephone system. Mrs. McDonald introduced Miss Ruth Casagrande of Tees - water, who favored with sever- al accordion numbers. Miss Casagrande won the Ontario Junior Farmers music compe- tition at the CNE. The members decided to sell UNICEF cards, all proceeds to go to under -privileged children, Anyone interested in procuring Christmas cards and helping these children may get in touch with Miss Norma Coutts.

A quartette "Search Me, 0 God" sung by Mrs. B. Feagan, Mrs. G Fish, Mrs. G. W. Cruickshank and Mrs. JohnDay, accompanied by Mrs. W. E. Ford, was much enjoyed. Storing Onions Top quality onions are fair- ly easy to store in the home. The main thing is to keep them dry. Although a low tempera- ture in the 30's is best they can be stored for several weeks in open mesh sacks or on shallow slatted trays at a higher but cool temperature provided the air is dry. A small quantity of onions may be kept at ordinary kitchen temperature for two to three weeks. Slinky Style Stretchy Straps A new world of brassiere comfort is opening to a great ' , many Canadian women. Fashion circles are enthusi- astic about stretch strap bras, the newest thing to hit the foun- dation garment market for sev- eral years. These new bras have straps made of soft, flexible elastic banding, often in lace-like de- signs. The straps are wide en- ough so that they don't cut into the shoulders, and yet firm enough to stay in place. With the introduction of the stretch straps, the days of slip- ping bra straps are over. Stretch strap bras are designed around the strap itself, so that the bras give maximum control and support, plus new comfort. NEW LOW BACK One of the newest, offers a low, low back which stays in place. The elasticized band which accomplishes this feat is the stretch strap fabric. When shopping for your fall fashions, it's a good idea to try on a stretch strap bra. They are available in bandeau, long line, basque and corselet styles for a new plus in bustline com- fort.
