Congram. Betty Ann is entering her third year at Toronto Bible College where she is working for a Bachelor of Theology degree. She spoke first of the college itself and the courses and opportunities offered there for Christian young people. It is an Interdenomin- ational School with 200 day students at the present time and many evening class students. They represent over 25 different denominations and come from countries all over the world. With a variety of degrees offer- ed, the main aim of the stud- ents is to prepare to serve God most effectively. Betty Ann went on to tell of her own life in the college and of her mission work, which in- cludes such missions as Scott Mission, Evangel Hall, Rail- way Missions and others. She stressed that this work is not easy but very challenging. Most of the students must work to pay their way, but although at times this can be very frus- trating, many lessons in Chris- tian living are learned. One thing the students must never forget is that the Christian life is a day by day, hour by hour walk with God, if it is to be fruitful and worthwhile. Betty Ann was thanked by Miss C. Isbister, who after the singing of a hymn closed the meeting with prayer.

It was a difficult post- tion. He had to learn some of their methods with relationship to climate and conditions, and try to teach our improved meth- ods, The valley they lived in was a very productive place but the leaders there seemed to have changeable ideas, They would just get started on some big project and they would run out of money, so immediately they would start somethingelse. Mr. and'Mrs. Jewson were moved to a school in Addis Ab- ba where he taught science and enjoyed it very much. Their higher schools are very well staffed and prepare the students to attend different universities. Their customs, of course, are very primitive. Their homes are mostly of mud plastered on poles with thatched roofs, their feed a kind of bread with a hot spicy stew, all cooked over an outside fire. There are several mission centres representing different faiths, Sudan Interior Mission, Anglican, Presbyterian, Seven- th Day Advent and others, and a large Catholic school with well-trained teachers. The dif- ferent tribes can be distinguish- ed .by the styles of the women's hair. The climate is very hot and there are two very definite rainy seasons. The hyena can be heard every night with its mournful sound and there is al- ways someone, somewhere, beating a drum throughout the night. In her closing remarks, Mrs. Jewson said, "We as Canadians were the foreigners in Ethiopia and it certainly gives a person a different view on this subject: She hoped that children who ex- press the view of wanting to go to a foreign country will be encouraged by parents, as it is a wonderful educational exper- ience. Mrs. B. Elston thanked the speaker and asked her to ac- cept h .mall token of apprecia- tion. Mrs. B. Robertson closed the meeting with prayer and the hostess served dainty re- freshments. Ann Landers Dear Ann Landers: It hap- pened again today and Pm fur- ious. ,A busybody at a church meeting who had just heard we adopted a baby said, "Oh you ;adopted! That's what I call do- ing it the EASY way! Only the woman who wants a child desperately and is un- able to have one can fully understand the depth of my feelings. First there is the op- timism—the hoping and pray- ing, month after month. Gradu- ally the doubts creep in and there's a depression. Finally comes the realization that nothing is going to happen — ever. Then the difficult decis- ion to accept some one else's child as your own. I'm sure you know, Ann, that aften, before parents decide to adopt, they go through hell. For me it was four miscar- riages and two stillbirths. I'm not belittling childbirth, but please remind people that when they hear a couple has adopted, it does not mean they have done it the "easy" way.— A THANKFUL MOTHER. Dear Mother: Thank you for giving us a better understand- ing of a problem few people give much though to unless the problem happens to be their own. Almost every letter live re- ceived from adoptive parents expresses regret about only one thing, They say, "We should have done it sooner!" 0--0--0 Dear Ann Landers: For many years we have had our nation- ality picnic on a certain day. Food and other items are do- nated by the city's business men. The proceeds benefit our clubs, A nice looking teen-age boy volunteered to sell soft drinks. Since I was in charge of the soft drink concession I was hanpy to have ,his help. Toward the end of the after- noon I saw him do something odd. Instead of tearing up the tickets after a sale he slipped them in his pocket. Then he went to his relatives and gave the tickets to them so they could buy raffle chances and other items, When it came time to go home the boy's family carried off large shopping bags filled with prizes and food. They were in high spirits when they put the sacks of loot into the trunks of their cars and drove off. I said nothing but I wonder what this boy with the honest face will grow up to be? --DIS- GUSTED. Dear Disgusted: Probably a crook, if others he tries to cheat don't chow more courage than you did. When you saw the boy hand the tickets to his relatives you should have explained to him (and to them) that perhaps the didn't know the tickets should be destroyed, not given away. Knowing that he didn't get away with It ,just might have discouraged future rinky-links. Dear Ann Landers: 1 have a relative who means well but I need to know if she is out of line or I'm off base. Mrs. Z who is away on a va- cation has been writing little notes to her friends back home. On the back flap of every en, velope she scribbles, 'Prayer Changes Things in Our Lives." Several of us who have re- ceived envelopes with this message resent it. I am not anti -religious. The fact is, I be- lieve in prayer and I do believe it changes things, but I don't wish to be reminded this way. Your opinion is wante.d—RE- SENTFUL. Dear Resentful: All personal messages should be inside the envelope. Tell your friend you've been praying that she will knock it off and since prayer changes things, you hope it will change this annoy- ing habit of hers. 0--0--0 To solve some of the frus- trations, disappointments and disillusionments of married life, send for Ann Landers' booklet, "What to Expect from Marriage," enclosing with your request 20c in coin and a long, self-addressed, stamped envel- ope.

Witherden your telephone manager Measles and the Telephone Everybody knows that measles brings spots, but how many know that measles brought the first telephone num- bers into use? Way back in 1879, when a measles epidemic hit the town of Lowell, Massadhusetts, a local physician named Dr. Moses Greely Parker realized that if the town's four operators came down with the measles, telephone service would come to a halt. Dr. Parker suggested that numbers be used instead of the names of the 1200 Lowell subscribers, so that substitute operators, if they were needed, could learn to operate the exchange as quickly and easily as possible. We're not told Nether or not the regular operators ever did come down with the measles, but we do know that numbers have been a very important part of telephone service ever since! * The Directory and the Telephone Early day telephone directories were usually just lists of people in town who had telephone service, with an ex- planation of how to crank the phone to get the operator's attention. But not anymore! The first few pages in to- day's phone books are filled with lots of useful informa- tion: numbers to call in emergencies, for telephone repair service, for assistance on calls, and to order new services or changes. They give instructions for speeding your Long Distance calls, and a list of Area Codes. These "how-to" pages are there to help you get top value from your tele- phone service. And that's a pretty good reason for using them! Directory to Press Shortly Wingham's new telephone directory will be going to press shortly, so please cheek your listing. Is your name spelled correctly? And what about your address and phone number? have you thought about additional listings? Other members of your family and relatives, roomers or boarders would benefit frgni having their names listed in the telephone book. 0 you're a businessman, you can use extra listings to show other firm names for your business —to associate your name and residence telephone number with your firm name—or to show after -hour numbers for you and your key employees. Remember, extra listings, at little cost, make it easier for people to find you. FOR ANY CHANGES IN YOUR LISTING, OR ANY ADDI- TIONS, CALL OUR BUSINESS OFFICE WITHOUT DELAY.
