Between the 6th and 14th century beautiful ca- thedrals were built in the Old Country and many people wor- shipped these beautiful arts in- stead of God. They still need- ed music in the church so in 1663 Bishop Laval brought an organ from New France and thus began the organ manufac- turing in Canada. Most people love music and some like John Wesley wrote hymns. A school of music was started to teach people to read music and sing. In 1789 the first choral societies were form- ed. The first symphony or- chestras came from United States to Canada. The church brought singers from the Old Country to train singers for the church and for concerts. Soloists were paid by the church to teach singing. In 1889 Ryerson Press started printing religious papers. A number were trained at Ryerson and branched out into business for themselves.

Dear Ann Landers: My hus- band and I became parents for the first time four weeks ago. Right now I am so miserable I just have to talk to somebody and I can't bring myself to call my mother. I know our little girl isn't the most beautiful baby in the world, Ann, but we love her just the same, Both my husband and I have high foreheads and the baby's head is rather large. Her eyes are a bit small and widely spaced, but she is only four weeks old and her looks change from day to day. Last week when I had the baby out for some air, a woman looked in the buggy and said, "Don't worry, my daughter look- ed just like a monkey when she was a baby and she grew up and married a doctor. Good luck to you, dear." This afternoon the checker in the supermarket leaned over to see the baby and she said, in a voice that could be heard all over the store, 'Don't you worry about that child. Looks aren't everything. You should see the ugly women who come in here with their mink coats," How can people be so tact- less? What's the matter with them anyway? Please print a word of encouragement to help me get through the day.—DE- PRESSED MOTHER. Dear Mother: ignore the clods. I don't know what is wrong with them. It sounds as if the rninutr, their mouths go on ac- tive duty their brains go on furlough. Dear Ann Landers: Do people lie more than they used to or am I becoming more critical or just plain crotchety in my old age? All about me I hear facts twisted and stories exaggerated until they bear no resemblance to reality, Recently, I was stun- ned ss I listened to a relative describe the details of an in- cident which I witnessed. She changed the facts completely and added so much trimming could scarcely believe my ears, And then there are the un- conscionable liars who need nothing whatever to go on. They destroy reputations without a blackward glance to view the wreckage. People in the public eye are often victims of base- less gossip. If they try to defend themselves, they make matters worse. I have hated liars since child- hood, and it seems to me their number is increasing, Do people have less respect for the truth than in days gone by? What about this, Ann Landers?—N.Y. Fan. Dear N.Y. Fan: I believe there are more liars around today, if only because there are more people. But liars tell more about themselves than the people they lie about. My advice is to for- get it. Here are some appropriate lines from Carl Sandburg's "The People, Yes." He poses the question: "What kind of liar are you?—then goes on to list the various types: "People lie because they don't remember clearly what they say. "People lie because they can't help making a story better than it was the way it happened. "People tell white lies to be decant to others. "People lie in a pinch, hating to do it, but—if they told the truth things would be worse. "And people lie for crooked personal gain, "What sort of liar are you?" —Mr. and Mrs. Jack Keith and family of London, visited Saturday afternoon with his sis- ter, Mr. and Mrs. Terry Neth- ery. An invitation was received from St. Helens for June 22nd but could not be accepted as a pot luck supper will be held at the United Church here that evening. The roll call was answered by 26 ladies giving a verse writ- ten by a Canadian author, Three children were present. Mrs. Milian Moore, on be- half of the U.C.W., presented Mrs. George Mitchell with a centennial cake plate.

Rainbow Club Mary Hastings Rainbow Club met in the council chambers with a good number in attend- ance.

Burke Tuesday evening, June 6th, with President Mrs. Wes Newton in charge, A study of Alberta, the Prin- cess Province was presented by Mrs. Crawford Gibson. This study gave geographical details and production of the province, with its many national parks, making it an attraction for both tourists and sportsmen. Mrs. Tom Burke gave the re- port from the district annual held at Brussels, at which ten members were present from this branch. Three members will go to the opening of the Archives at Goderich on June 15 and on July 15 members will help with the picnic lunch at Fordwich centennial parade. Mrs. Ira MacLean gave a reading from "Out of the Wilder ness" by the Canadian poet Wil- son MacDonald,TheQuintraines of Calandar, also a humorous one by Edgar Guest, Mrs. Ma- lone and The Censor. The topic. Sir John A, Mac- donald was given by Mrs. How- ard Wylie. This man, often re- ferred to as the father of his country, who, though denounc- ed excessively in every paper, refused to compromise and with- out his leadership we probably would not be celebrating this centennial year of Confedera- tion. Roll call was answered whole heartedly by everyone naming a famous Canadian. Mrs. Dalton Dickinson read the minutes. Plans to enter a float in the centennial parade will be completed this week. Because of the holidays through the summer, the Sep- tember and October meetings will be interchanged, and the September meeting will be on the second Tuesday, Sept. 12, at the home of Mrs. Les Doug- las. Lunch was served by Mrs. Harvey Reidt and Mrs. Doug Statia as hostesses for the eve- ning, „L „n, I ttttt 1 ttttt ttttttttt tosloo, ttttttttttt tti tttttttttttttttttttttttt ttttttttttt Brown-Higgins
