Frilly Flowers Are Dangerous Artificial flowers are causing trouble. Delicate lacy leaves made of plastic will ignite readily.

The plastics usually burn like paraffin and produce dripping halls of fire or puddles of hunting liquid. Breathing the "scent" of the artificial flowers, even if you don't get an odor, may also hurt fou, Some of the plastics used in the flowers give off nit- rogen dioxide which if kept in a confined area or in a person's breathing zone, could he haz- ardous.

Mr., Mrs. Taylor Presidents of Couples' Club St. Andrew's Couples' Club held its January meeting on Tuesday of last week with 14 couples present. All members proceeded to the Wingham Ad- vance -Times for a tour of the building conducted by Mr. Wenger, and a demonstration of the work involved in publish- ing a newspaper. The members returned to the church where the meeting was opened with a meditation by Mrs. Len Phil- lips. "For Thy Mercy and Thy Grace" was sung. Mrs. Jim Carr led the unison Scripture reading of Psalm 90. A medi- tation, "The Fact and Mystery of Time" was given by Mrs. Carr. A duet, "A Wonderful Savior Is Jesus My Lord" was sung by Mrs. Oscar Casemore and John Donaldson. Mrs. Wm. Caslick gave a reading, "Getting Life's Val- ues Straight". The roll call was answered by couples paying their membership fee. The president thanked the committee, Mr. and Mrs. J. Carr and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Caslick for arranging the eve- ning's program. It was decided to continue supporting the student Chiu Ju Hong, an Aboriginal boy of the Taruku Trilia, to enable him to continue his studies at the Bible School and study some trade in order to become self-supporting. The offertory prayer was given by Jim Carr and Rev. G. L. Fish installed the 1964 of- ficers, which are as follows: Past presidents, Mr. and Mrs. Len Phillips; presidents, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Taylor; vice-presidents, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Pickell; secretaries, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Sutcliffe; treasurers, Mr. and Mrs. Tom The old tradition of eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday is revived annually at St. Paul's Anglican Church, when even the men in the congregation get into the act. Pancake Day is reputed to have originated about 1000A.D. An English clergyman, Ab- bott Aeltric, proclaimed that "in the week immediately be- fore Lent everyone should go to his confessor and confess his deeds, and the confessor shall so shrive as he may then hear by his deeds what he is to do." This proclamation resulted in the observance of "Shrove Tues- day", (the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent) which became a period of merry -making in addition to a period of confessing, in many parts of the world. Since pan- cakes came to be the accepted food for Shrove Tuesday, the day soon became popularly known as "Pancake Day". At the tolling of the church Henderson; song convener, Mrs. Oscar Casemore;pianist, Mrs. Gordon Fish; telephone com- mittee, Mr. and Mrs. R. Mc- Kague; press reporters, Mr. and Mrs. E, Beard; nominating committee, Mr. and Mrs. J. Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Clare Neirgarth. A duet, "Grace, Marvellous Grace", was sung by Mrs. Os- car Casemore and John Donald- son. "Standing at the Portal" was sung and the meeting clos- ed with prayer by William Cas- lick. The committee for Febru- ary is Mr. and Mrs. R. Apple- by and Mr. and Mrs. N. Pic- kell, hell on Shrove Tuesday it was customary for tate housewife to drop whatever site was doing and hurry to the church to he "shriven", or absolved of her sins. Since this was also the day for feasting and eating pan- cakes, the holiday cakes soon became <<nown as "shriving cakes" because they were made on the day the women were shriven of their sins. And so in Wingham as in the honeymoon capital of Canada, Niagara Falls, and many other places, people will gather on February 11 for their annual feast of pancakes. Mr., Mrs. McKinney Going to Mexico Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Mc- Kinney of Toronto and Wing - ham, will leave by train on Sunday for a winter vacation that will be extended to the end of March.
