First of all I should mention that our choral group gave a free evening of entertainment in the Town T•Tall and sang Xmas carols and Christmas songs. 1 must add it was a great success. The day after Xmas, we held our Keen Klub dance in the school. So far our Keen Klub has kind of fallen down, hut we were pleased with this dance • we had about 70 people there. We decorated the school, bought prizes etc. We sold cokes at the dance and made a 5 cent profit on every bottle. Also, since it was a special dance, we charged twenty-five cents admission and altogether we took in twenty- five dollars which was very wonder- ful. Milverton — Eva Loney — On Christmas eve, the Keen -Teens sang Christmas carols at the homes of all the shut-ins in the town (nice going kids, B.M.) under the leader- ship of Councillor Isabel i'fac Beth, Several card games were enjoyed at the home of Edith Ranncy after the carol singing. A delicious lunch was served by the hostess and her assist- ants, The holidays have been spent in redecorating the two rented rooms which we have obtained for our location, Although we didn't know much about papering, we en- joyed it anyway, That's all, Beverlie Has a 'Problem Beverlie b1'ilson, our correspond- ent of Colhournc, writes that she has a very tough problem. Seems like Bev and her girl friend are in charge of the Glances for their teen club down there. Their trouble is this: They would like any of our readers to write and give them any ideas they have far new dances. Bev says they haven't the nerve to have an- other Paul Jones, soap dance, lemon dance or broom dance. Bev writes also that she would be glad to give any teener any idea, she has, if they will help her out. .Jot down the dances you have had at your club and send then' along to Beverlie Wil- son, Colbourn, Ont. We Let Him Get Away The male readers of this column will consider us the dope of the Year when we tell them that the famous hockey man, Charlie C'onacher, lives in our town and the didn't interview hint. Now it's too late for this year. He has just been appointed coach of the Chicago Black Hawks and also is being considered for the post of the "Best Coach of '47-48", How- ever, we'll get him next season, when he gets home again. If you are a regular listener of Ozzie and Harriett and have wond- ered what has happened to them, just turn the dial to CFRB at 9.30 p.m., on Friday evenings and you will find them at 1847 Rogers Road, A Last Reminder Bc sure and enter our contest. letter The Last Straw The enraged tenant called his landlord and shouted: "The walls of the house are bulging more each day. Just what are you going to dp about it?" "Hm-m-n ," came from the landlord. "As I see it you're get- ting more cubic feet for the scone rent. I'll have to raise you ac- cordingly!'

Hollywood: a Quiet Little Horne Town Hollywood, the civic butterfly of United States municipalities, has finally been pinned down and dis- sected statistically by The Holly- wood ollywood Reporter. The publication's findings, somehow issued just as a congressional -committee investigat- ed certain pinkish hues on the Hollywood horizon, include the sol- id bourgeois facts that 79 per cent of Hollywoodians are married, 70.1 per cent have. never been divorced, 66.5 per cent.awn their own homes and 61.3 per cent attend religious services, • * • Not satisfied with that, the sur- vey goes farther. It fathoms the capacious depths of the Hollywood purse and brings up figures' indi- cating that the cinema city is near or at the geographic centre of world capitalism. Approximately half of the local citizenry hold investments in stocks and bonds, it says. * * 5 Some 29 per cent list themselves as "executives." Nearly a third be- long to golf clubs. More than a third manage to save a whopping 10 to 30 per cent of their gross in- come, even in these money -shrink- ing days. Far from being inveterate night owls, as most non -Hollywood Am- ericans believe, more than half of the good people of. the village ven- ture forth but once or twice a week after dark. Only a highly durable 2 per cent admit going out "every night," and some of these, the survey implies, may refer to putting out the cat., For plain everyday folks who wonder what they do in Hollywood in the evenings, the survey packs a climactic shock.

Now is none -too -soon to make plans for your home so that it will be bright and chipper when the' warm weather finally comes, Slipcovers should be Number One on your Spring list—gay, at- tractive protection against dust and sunlight. Among the most popular slipcov- er fabrics are chintz, cretonne, lin- en and sailcloth. Glazed chintz sheds dust and looks well on small cl airs but the unglazed chintz is more practical since it stands up better when cleaned and doesn't mass so easily. Cretonne, a little heavier than chintz, is an excellent, moderately priced material for summer slip- covers.

The adult usually has a precarious lapful of mittens, scarfs, bats, and perhaps some small pur- chases, I have a system which eliminates this inconvenience, says D.T. in the Christian Science Monitor. I take a knit shopping bag with me. A knit bag is soft and will 1101 rattle and disturb others in the theatre, It also has another advantage — it can be rolled up and kept in a hand- bag. When we get in the lobby T put all our small, loose articles in the shopping bag. Needless to say, we never leave any mittens, gloves, or other small articles in the the- atre. 4 - Might Help There had been a motor acci- dent,. and the landlord of an inn had carried the motorist into his pub, When the man recovered a bit, be asked what had happened. "Well, sir, you had a very bad smash;" said the landlord, "but I managed to bring you to." "Did your"' murmured the dam- aged one. "I don't remember. Do you mind bringing me two more?" CHRONICLES OF GINGEN FARM By Gwendene P. Clarke We hate esperieuced our first real snowstorm of the winter. it caused Solna incout•enience 1,111 corn - pared with other parts of the pro- vince it was noticing. Our new high- way is practically bare, but as usual there is plenty of snow in farm lanes. We were listening to an ac• count of the damage done in the Windsor district when Partner re- marked — "The Government should do something about it!" "The Government?" 1 quered in surprise, "Sure," Partner answered, "Most of us look to the government to solve all our prohems, why not the wea- ther? It should stop the snow—turn it to rain, or do something about it. Anyway 1 wouldn't mind betting the time will come when country snowploughs will be required to open up all farm lanes along with the roads." Probably many farmers will say— "And that wouldn't be such a Lad idea 1" In the meantime cars are getting stuck in farm lanes and on back concessions—snow or no snow we must run our cars as usual. Everyone is up-to-date except Old Man Winter and he is just as old- fashioned as ever. Makes one won- der who is nut of step—we, the peo- ple, or the blaster of the Universe. * * * But 1948 has brought us more than snowstorms to think about—or shall we say a storm of a different na- ture because it looks as if we are going to he snowed under by even higher prices. And this storm will surely he a housewife's headache. There was a thought-provoking paragraph in this paper last week suggesting that re stop worrying about world affairs, attend to our own business and in that way many of our problems w•ruld soh•e them- selves. They were truly words of wisdom and if followed would do a lot more good than "beefing" about the government or the Marshall plan. Take these new high prices: Two more cents a gallon no gas . . .hut a little thought, a bit more walking and the amount we pay out for gas wood not be one bit more than lo - fore. Pork—an increase of two to ten cents a pound. That means our good old standbys — sausage and pork chops will he luxury goods. Btit we don't have to buy them. A fifteen cent soup hone is more nourishing and will give an average family one good meal. Lard. too, will he rep. Less pie, cakes and cookies is the answer to that. Butter—we did very well on our wartime ration, why not return to it voluntarily? * * * As 1 see it. enc reason for the high cost of food is our over -high standard of living. I remember, as a child, my mother often gave us kids brown sugar, moistened with a little milk for desert!

It was always bunter OK jam. On toast we invariably used beef, sausage or ba- con dripping. And, of course, for breakfast, there was always por- ridge—never any fancy cereal. Or- dinary vegetables and fresh fruit— bananas, apples and oranges—sup- plied our vitamins, even though vi• tantitn by 'tante were strangers to us. What meat we had was mostly in the form of roast beef, stews or mutton. Fresh bread was never al- lowed- it had to be at least a day old. Eggs were boiled or poached, never fried . except as a treat when we had bacon. It was a good, plain, simple diet. A return to it might do numb towards lowering the cost of living. But how to do it? * * * Our families now are used to the best of everything on the table. What glum looks there would be if Mother suddenly said—"Oh no. you can't have butter and marmalade, and certainly you can't have butter on your vegetables." Yes, the housewife will surely have to economise but until families earn to co-operate it will doubtless have to he camouflaged' economy. Jf - only there were a housewives' un- ion, the :.,mhers of which would say to their husbands—"Never mind striking for higher wages—we'll live a little plainer and make do with what we're geting." That would work faster than any government action. t Ria PARTY, FAVORITE xmang coffees is Maxwell Blouse. it stimulates and cheers because it's Radiant Roasted to develop every last atom of goodness in its extra -rich blend.
