CWL anniversary
The Catholic Women's
League gathered at Sacred
Heart Church Monday
evening for the celebration
of the Holy Eucharist and to
give thanks to God for 60
years of CWL existence in
the parish. The celebration
was conducted by Rev. Wes
Gutowski.
Following mass, 29 league
ladies, guests and Father
Gutowski gatthered in the
church hall for a very en-
joyable pot luck supper.
After dinner a song was sung
entitled "Tribute to the
CWL".
Clean, sharp
tools helpful
in gardening
Clean, sharp garden tools
will make summer gar-
dening more enjoyable,
according to the gardening
specialists in the Lawn &
Garden Products Group at C-
I -L.'
Dirty and -or rusty spades,
hoes, rakes, shovels and
other small hand tools pick
up a coating of soil at each
thrust. This not only makes
using them hard work, but
they do not turn the soil
nearly as efficiently as clean
tools.
A wooden spatula will
remove dried earth and
coarse steel wool or emery
paper will remove rust and
corrosion from steel tools.
Moisten stubborn rusty or
corroded spots with oil and
let sit for a couple of days
and they should polish up
easier. In some instances it
will be necessary to polish
badly corroded tools with a
power wire brush. A touch up
with a medium file on the
cutting edges of spades and
hoes will make them easier
to use.
Once tools are bright and
sharp it takes only a minute
before putting them away to
clean and oil them. A wipe
with an oily cloth containing
a light lubricating oilwill
protect them between jobs.
Clean tools will also last
much longer, the C -I -L
spokesmen point out.
•
The president, Lorraine
Poulin, gave special
greetings to the guests and
.read a poem, "Think you are
getting old?".
A short business meeting
was held and then the
president gave a brief
history of the league, which
was given its charter in 1924.
A poem entitled "Take
Time" was read by Dorothy
Willie and a moment of
silence was held for all past
members. A sing -song of
favorite old songs followed.
A cake commemorating
the 60 years of CWL was
brought out and pictures
were taken of it together
with guests Mrs. Sarah
Anstett, Mrs. Agnes
Caskanette, Mrs. A. Skinn,
Mrs. J. Burns, Mrs. K.
Lockridge, Mrs. Marie
Newman, Mrs. Annie Forgie
and Mrs.,D. Redmond.
The next meeting of the
CWL will be September 14.

If a fire occurs, crawl to

don't open it. If it seems
wisest to stay in your room,
fill the bathtub with water,
wet towels and sheets and
stuff the racks of your door
and bail water onto the doors
and walls. If smoke . is
coming through vent, stuff
them with wet towels, too. A
wet towel tied around your
nose and mouth is an ef-
fective filter. If there is fire
outside the window, tear
down the drapes and remove
anything that is combustible
from the area.
