The old men, tell me that
the fresh water steals the
salt out of a man's skin and
weakens him. Evert destroys
his courage. I suspect that is
why lake boat mariners
must eat a lot of salted Pick',
,ed herrings.-7—just to keep
therm courageous in case
they might get Ship -wrecked
or end up in a collision on one
of our shallow and, stormy
Great Lakes. The water is
very cold sometime and pur
systems can lose their salt
very, very quickly — and the
iron too. Too bad!

Knowing these things I
wish to suggest that the
recreation department in
Goderich set about im-
mediately to plan for an
Olympic -sized swimming
pool and deep -diving pool on
the Mach. Toronto has; -or--
had a nice new and modern
steel -reinforced concrete
pool complex in the east end
at the horse. and sulky race-
track. It must have
everything. There must be
separate locker rooms and
wash rooms for the men and
the women and boys and
girls.
There should be three and
four -tiered sun-bathing
decks around the pools. And
there must be a beginners'
wading and swimming pool.
The chief instructors' and
-life-guards- offices- must be
located centrally and there
can be a snack -bar on the
premises at street -level.
It is a modern filtrated
pool with a temperature con-
trol. But the pool that I
recommend that you build at
Harbour Beach should be
salinated with ocean salts
Canine defenders criticized
Dear Editor:
I read with amusement a
Mrs. Little's letter about
well-behaved canines in
public parks. To raise seven
children and a herd of pets of
all sizes, she must truly be a
remarkable woman.
Did she ever walk her
beasties through the park? I
don't know how she had
time. I would bet each and
every one of her lovely
children inherited this honor
as soon as they could hold a
leash.
Just when was the last
time you visited the prettiest
town in Canada Mrs. Little?
Maybe it is because of our
cleanliness and concern in
this matter that is why it is
so pretty. Your statement
about being halfway to
heaven, however, concerns
me. Maybe my compass is
faulty because I find it a lit-
tle too warm here but I don't
expect you to understand
that one.
Myself, I love animals.
Mine even has his portrait on
the garage door. As far as
boa constrictors are con-
cerned, I had one. Unfor-
tunately my boy was hungry
and Mr. snake is now nothing
but a memory. Mind you he
was only three feet long and
my panther is used to a full
meal, not snacks.
Now on to you Elsa
Haydon. How dare you
assault me with your bic.
You, my dear lady, have the
audacity to include a pic-
ture. But there are a few
things I don't understand.
Why would a woman of
your stature be running with
a blank banner and what
Area women attend
ACWW conference
By Eleanor Bradnock
"Water for All", was one
of the subjects brought up at
the 17th triennial conference
of the Associated Country
Women of the World
(ACWW) when they met for
two weeks at the University
of British Columbia in Van-
couver.
Mrs. William Porter of
Goderich, Mrs. Cecil Elliott
of Clinton and Mrs. Eleanor
Bradnock of Auburn attend-
ed this conference.
What a thrill on the open-
ing morning to be a member
of the 95 Canadians in the
conference choir and lead
the procession into the
auditorium with the piper
piping in the officials from
many countries in the world
to the platform. All stood at
attention while 4-H club
members of British Colum-
bia brought in the flags from
over 60 countries who were
present at the conference of
over 1800 women and 200
men who had come to have a
holiday and see Canada.
This year marks the 17th
triennial conference of this
largest world wide organiza-
tion which links nine million
members in more than 300
societies from more than 60
countries.
It all began in 1897 when an
Ontario housewife, Adelaide
Hoodless lost her 18 month-
old son from milk con-
tamination. Hoodless under-
took a quest to discover why
rural women were not given
the same chances as men to
learn how to better living
conditions.
She spoke at a men's Farm
Institute meeting where she
convinced 35 women of the
Stoney Creek area to develop
a Women's Institute.
At their first meeting, the
number increased to 101.
Hoodless was named
honorary president of the
first Women's Institute in
the world and by 1919, with
the help of Mrs. Alfred Watt,
the first A.C.W.W. had
spread across Canada and
eventually the whole world.
Today the organization's
purpose remains the same:
to raise the standard of liv-
ing of women and their
families in rural com-
munities. Various projects
include training in nutrition,
providing safe drinking
water, income generating
schemes and leadership
training.
Of great concern to
A.C.W.W. members are the
needs of women in
underdeveloped countries.
Conferences are designed to
create more awareness of
their needs so projects can
be initiated. Funds from one
such project enables
A.C.W.W. to provide
tubewells in Assam, Bengal
and Pakistan.
"Living in Today's World"
and "Many Voices -One
World" were the themes
when area presidents from
around the world presented
their projects and hopes for
the future and showed slides
of their people, their homes
and told about their dreams.
The president, Mrs. Ziny
Westerbring-Muller of the
Netherlands spoke and so
did vice-presidents from
South Pacific, Australia
South Asia, Central Africa,
New Zealand, Peru, Argen-
tina, North and South
American countries, Mex-
ico, Europe, including Spain
and Greece.
The conference choir,
under the direction of Mrs.
Natine Parrish of Nova
Scotia with her daughter
Tania Parrish of Toronto
( who is studying opera
there), wore unique maple
leaf caftans, and sang at the
Hudson Bay store, at the
restaurant, at the delegation
leaders' dinner when
Eugene Whelan was the
speaker and -at the inter-
faith church service and the
Canadiana program when
artists in Canada presented
the Droeram.
Dr. Lois Wilson of
Kingston, past -moderator of
the United Church of
Canada, was the guest
speaker at thel inter -faith
church service when well
over 2500 people were pre-
sent from every country in
the world. In her inspiring
message around the theme,
"Faith, Hope and Love", she
emphasized the growing gap
between rich and poor,
technology, man and women
relationships, and living
faith commitments.
Aziz Khaki, president of
the inter -faith citizenship
association, B.C. was the
moderator. Faith
leaders, Bahai, Indian, Hin-
du, Buddhist, Islamic,
Jewish, Sikh, Unitarian and
Zoroastrianism all took part
in the service.
Mrs. Wesyerbring-Muller
welcomed all.
The band from the C.O.
Canadian Forces Naden
Band played several
numbers before the service
and accompanied for the
hymns. The conference
Canadian choir also sang an-
thems, stressing the impor-
tance of peace.
Ellen McLean of Nova
Scotia was elected president
of A.C.W.W. She is the first
president elected from
Canada. She is a farm wife
and a former president of
Nova Scotia WI and also of
the Federated Women's In-
stitutes of Canada. She was
presented with the honour as
an Officer of the Order of
Canada a short time ago by
the Government of Canada
for her work with the women
of rural Canada. Newly
elected deputy presidents
were Mrs. Valerie Fisher,
South Pacific area and
Madame Begun Z. Zubair,
Asia, Central and South
area. Canada's vice-
president is still Senator
Martha Belish of Alberta.
The closing ceremonies
took place with the newly
elected president being in-
troduced followed by a
salmon steak barbecue
given to the delegates and
members by the Province of
British Columbia.

- and minerals. Tllp ,reason for
this is that we -must replace
the salt that is being con-
stantly used -up in swimming
in the fresh beach waters of
Lake Huron. Now you know
exactly what type of rocks
you have under the water -
You know their mineral con-
tent. But it is not salty. And it
robs your skirl tissues of salt
and your head and heart of
courage and energy.
Further, the youngsters
will grow up fat and flabby
and awkward if their skin
tissues are not carefully
organized with saline and
minerals like iron. No mat-
ter if the fresh water pool is
kept germ free. You need
salt.

hour Beach here in
Goderich, write down how
tired you were after the
swim, and then take a trip to
Nova Scotia or Prince Ed-
ward Island and swim and
sun yourself there for about
a week. Then you will be able
to decide whether your town
should build a modern
salinated swim pool and
deep diving with tower conn
plex. -
I even think the fish and
the birds -get -tired out if they
are robbed of their essential
salt and iron etc. Is that not
true? Ask your wild life peo-

Ideas conflicting
Dear Editor,
Reading the Catholic Con-
fraternity translation of
1941, I came upon this state-
ment, set apart under the
caption._"The. Model.. of. Our.
Faith": "Now not for his,
sake only was it written that
'It was credited to him,' but
for the sake of us also, to
whom it will be credited if
we believe in him who raised
Jesus our Lord from the
dead, who was delivered up
for our sins, and rose again
for our justification."
( Romans 4:23-25 C.C. )
Then I turned to the
Catholic Encyclopedia and
found on page 329 that the
proper name of God is
Jehovah. And on page 331
this expression: "At any
rate, while it is not certain
that God revealed his Sacred
name to Moses for the first
time, He surely revealed on
Mount Horeb that Jehovah is
His incommunicable name,
and explained its meaning.
Modern Jews are as uncer-
tain of the Sacred name as
their "Christian contem-
poraries."
That "uncertainty" is
evidenced_. in- ..a. booklet --
published by Richard W.
Dehann "The Triune God".
On page 8 he says: "The
whole plan of redemption as
outlined in the Bible is a
farce if Jesus be not God."
Also in the Book "Is One
Church as Good as
Another?" By Catholic
priest John B. Harney: "If
Christ is not God, then the
Catholic Church stands guil-
ty of idolatry. She has forgot-
ten; ignored and insulted the
true God by putting a
creature in his place."
Since Acts 2:32 C.C. says:
"This Jesus God has raised
up, and we are all witnesses
of it." Such conflicting ideas
could make Romans 4:23-25
a questionable "Model of
Our Faith."
C.F. Barney
Congratulates band
Dear Editor:
I would like to take this
means of extending con-
, gratulations to members of
Goderich Laketown Band
and their director, Blake
Smith, for their splendid
achievements while on a re-
cent tour in Nova Scotia.
The concert they
presented last Sunday even-
ing was one of the best I have
heard anywhere. The people
of the Town of Goderich
should be very proud to be
represented by this group of
musicians, and to be able to
enjoy their music from time
to time.
