Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, Dec. 3, 1964 - Pagel The New Wave in Children's Toys Is Electricity Plug-in toys have come a long way since the old model railroad sets, The most pro- minent is miniature road rac- ing, where highly refined elec- tric techniques have been put to work to help simulate the competition and excitement of the real track, New road race sets have been developed which feature a selectronic principle whereby cars may switch tracks, travt1 on the same track, cut one another off or take the inside lane, while each is still com- pletely controlled by its"dri- ver" . But electricity is important to other new toys as well. Elec- tric scissors, a plug-in toy, will not cut fingers, cats' whiskers, fabric or anything except paper. The scissors hum as they cut. Another electrically -power- ed toy is the woodburning electric pencil, used to burn designs into basswood. Ahob- by that appeals both to grown- ups and children, woodburning has come a long way from thi.. days of its earlier wave ofpop larity at the turn of the even ry. Today's electric pencils hay( fact -cooling rr ,.tal alloy tips which can be changed to pr: duce variations in density ar width of design. A DRAGLJNE which was being used by Owen King Construction at the Lower Town dam was marooned in the cut it had made in the dike when a cofferdam broke early Saturday morning, allowing pond water to rampage through the area where workmen had been setting up concrete forms the day before. -A -T Photo. A Smashup Affair ... But They're Wed Saturday was anything but a happy wedding day for Mar- garet Ellen Emberson of Guelph and Henry Ernest Rempel of Kitchener. The bridegroom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry P. Rempel of 274 Stirling Ave., N., were on their way to the 4 o'clock ceremony at St. Jaynes the Apostle Anglican Church in Guelph, when they were injur- ed in a head-on collision. Mrs Rempel was rushed to St, Jo- seph's Hospital in Guelph. Mr. Rempel, also injured, St. Andrew's Couples' Club The November meeting of St. Andrew's Couples' Club was held in the churcn parlors with a good attendance of couples and friends. A hymn was sung and Gordon Sutcliffe read the Scripture. Mrs. Gordon Sutcliffe gave a meditation, "One Man's Opinion --Education to Remem- ber". Mrs. Len Phillips led in prayer. The secretary's report was given and the roll call taken. Mrs. Fred McGee introduced Mr. and Mrs. Doug Lapp to the club members. The treas- urer's report was given by Mrs. Tom Henderson, showing a balance on hand of *24.28, Gordon Sutcliffe gave the offer- tory ffertory prayer. Mrs. Margaret Casemore gave two selections on the auto harp, "There is No Name" and "CIeanse Me". Mrs. Sutcliffe introduced tho speaker for the evening, Miss Clare McGowan, director of the Children's Aid Society in Godcrich and District. Miss McGowan explained how the Society works, the type of work they do and why they cannot do as much as they would like to. She related many interesting case histories and incidents that have happened in her work. She also stressed the need for more foster homes. Miss McGowan introduced Bert Corbett, the only inale member of the C. A. S. staff. Mr. Corbett spoke briefly on Itis work. A question and ans- wer period followed. Mrs. Tota Henderson thanked the speaker. Rev. Gordon Fish closed the meeting with prayer and a soc- ial hour followed. It was de- cided to hold a Christmas meet• ing on Tuesday, December 22nd. now is at home. Ills son's honeymoon to the southern United States and Mexico has been postponed until after Christmas so he can run Mr. Rempel's upholstering business in Kitchener. At the reception at the Park- view arkview Motel, Guelph, the bride's sister, Ivirs. Joseph Felice of Rexdale, broke her fingers in a door, and was rushed to St. Jo- seph's as well. The bride's brother, John Emberson of Toronto, was dri- ving a group, including the newlyweds, in his new car after the reception when he was in an accident. All were wear- ing earing seat belts, and the only one injured was the bridegroom who is limping from shin bruises. It was only a few days ago that the bridegroom's brother John of Kitchener fell out of a truck and gashed his legs. He was an usher at the ceremony -- game, but limping. As far as sheer pluck goes, probably the best man, Richard Buller of Riverside, Ont., has it all. Two months ago he was shot in a hunting accident and is paralysed from the waist down. At the bridegroom's insistance he carried out his duties, though in a wheelchair. The bride herself was in an accident a month ago when the driver of the car was killed, and she and other passengers were hospitalized. She sus- tained leg injuries and is still wearing bandages and limping. Other than that, everything went well. -Kitchener Waterloo Record. Add Two; Triple Lipstick Wardrobe A Iipstick wardrobe of six basic shades can now grow to eighteen simply by adding two lipsticks. There are two new glacC•s on the market that each give your basic shades completely new tones. One elutes the underly- ing shade... burnishes it to a rich "browned" shade that is strictly avantc-garde in smart make-up. The other coaxes the warmth of autumn sun into every shade or your lips. To cool down your basic lip- stick shade don' t forget the Pearl glace that has been popu- lar since spring. If it is also added to the basic six you will have 24 shades to glory in.
