He Suicided, But
Saved Return Fares
One of the strangest examples of
thrift on record is reported from
a French village, where a,seventy-
six-year-old peasant committed sui-
cide. Everybody was puzzled at
first because all the old peasant's
married children had travelled to
the village the day before his sui-
cide to attend a family reunion at
his regnest.
The mystery was solved when
a note. which had been found be-
side the peasant's body, was read
at the inquest. It explained that
he had expected to die naturally
quite soon so he had decided to
commit suicide while itis children
were at house together. "This -will
save the extra fares they would
have had to pay to attend 'sty
funeral."

Remember last week 1 promised
to tell more about a wonderful in-
vitation that had come my way—
entirely unexpected. Well, here is
what it was , .. a phone call front
the Women's Division at the C.N.E.
inviting me to a press conference
at isIrs. Kate Aitkins home to meet
Airs. Eleanor Roosevelt! Do you
wonder I was howled over? Now
I want to share that happy exper-
ience with you—although 1 am
still at a loss to understand why I
was amongst the fortunate fifty to
whom this priceless invitation was
extended,
Most of the Press visitors had ar-
rived at Mrs. Aitken's hone by
10:30. Some where in the house,
others in the garden, awaiting the
arrival, from Mahon, of Mrs.
Roosevelt and our hostess, Mrs.
Aitken, Soon after eleven the word
was passed around—"She is here!"
Immediately there followed a quiet
air of expectancy; a repressed feel-
ing of excitement which prevailed
until we heard the announcement—
"Mrs. Roosevelt is ready to receive
you." - -
Quietly we entered the living -
room of 9-1rs. Aitken's. lovely home,
Airs. Roosevelt met us with a
friendly, gracious and welcoming
smile. f, at least, had a curious
feeling that It was not a stranger
1 was meeting but a friend whom
i had known but had not- met for
a long time. The air was charged
with the intensity of feeling among
those present. No one spoke. Pre-
sently Mrs, Aitken reminded us
that lIrs, Roosevelt 'wars there to
answer any questions we cared to
ask. liven. thea(, for a few pre-
cious moments, no one, asked any-
thing at all. It was as if we were
afraid' of breaking a spell—each of
its trying to absorb and interpret
sonic- of the distinctive charm, cour-
age and enthusiasm emanating from
the woman before us, And believe
rue, Mrs. Roosevelt is charming,
From her many press photographs
you aright imagine her as some-
what plain, That, too, is under-
standable because no photographer
in this world could possibly capture
the qualities which contribute to
the personality that is Eleanor
Roosevelt,
She was dressed very simply, in
a plain black dress, with bolero to
match. A sutall, close -fitting, bright
red hat rested comfortably on her
iron -grey hair,
'l'hen carte the questions—but-
only a few, as all the •time we had
for our conference was • one brief
half-hour, The conference was very
informal. Most of us were stand-
ing until Mrs, Roosevelt and lvfrs.
Aitken both suggested -we might
be more comfortable sitting ar-
ound on the floor! Immediately
some of the younger ones did just
that, In answering ,questions Mrs.
Roosevelt spoke at first in an easy
conversational tone—until she carne
to the sessional tangles of the
United Nations, Then she really
hit her stride. Her voice was mag-
netic, forceful—although still gen-
tle in tone, Her amazing blue eyes
flashed, ' and her expressive hands
lent emphasis •to whatever point
site was trying to get across at the
moment,
Otte question anti answer was
particularly to my lilting, Some-
one asked how people in small
communities could further the work
of the United Nations, Mrs, Roasa-
Veit replied—"The housebwife who
feels Iter opportunities to work for
Cigar-rr-r — For seemingly ob-
vious reasons, this hatted half -
fox -terrier, half -bull dog is nam-
ed "Smoke." The canine corona
consumer is said to have devel-
oped a taste for pipes as a pup,
seven years ago. "Smoke," who
has a collection of half a dozen
briars he chews on—unlit, Will

mangle — a good cigar
peace are limited should use her
influence to stake her own com-
munity better. It is our first re-
sponsibility to make our own com-
munity the best possible place to
live so that its influence will spread
into the world,"
Personally, 1 had not previously
ltad too much faith in what the
United Nations is likely to accom-
plish but as I listened to Mrs,
Roosevelt 1 became more optotnis-
tic. If an aging and untiring wo-
man has so tTiuch faith in the U.N.
that site is rgady to devote the rest
of her life to further its cause, then
surely we cannot go far wrong in
following where she leads, each, in
our own small way, working for
the peace and security of all nations,
And ltet'e is a little human touch
that illustrates our democratic prin-
ciples, As Mrs. Roosevelt and her •
party were leaving for the Exhi-
bition, members of the press were
in the garden enjoying a cup of
coffe, "My, but I wish I could
catch a glimpse of herl" was the
_involuntary exclamation of Mrs.
Aitken's staid who was looking
after the refreshments. It was
overheard by one of the guests—a
neighbour of Airs. Aitken's. "Why
of course you must see her, Run
along now and 191 look after the
coffee!"
At the Women's Luncheon Mrs,
Roosevelt shook hands with. over
400 guests. She must have been
very tired but site did not show it.
Her poise is something to envy,
When speaking to the assembled
guests slit stood unflinching as
photographer's flashed in her face
every few minutes, The' spoutan,
eons ovation which greeted her was
tremendous, and, as a token to
commemorate her visit to the Can-
adian National Exhibition Airs,
Roosevelt was presented with a
Maple Leaf pin and a' corsage of
blue and white flowers,
A ripple of laughter spread alp•
ottg the guests as Mrs, Aitken
spotted Gordon Sinclair during
lunch, She immediately called him
to the front to meet Mfrs, Roose.
volt, "And for this, Mr. Sinclair, -
don't you evet again dare to speak
of int as "the i'ollyanna of the sir.
waves!" For once, Sinclair appar
eptly had no eotne-back. Never-
theless, he made good use of his
opportunity by asking Ml's. Roose- 9a
velt to conte on his programme
too a few minutes—for which a
hook-up had been hurriedly set tip
on the balcony,
Before the guests dispersed, the
Chief Chef, who has been respon-
sible for balcony luncheons for
years, came along, complete with
his chef's tall white hat and asked
Airs. Roosevelt for her autograph
on his menu card.
After the luncheon hundreds of
people stood waiting in the Wom-
en's Building for a glimpse of Mrs.
Roosevelt as she came down the
balcony stairs. As for the Band
Shell audience—the crowds extend-
ed away back to the Flower Show
and far across the green, And
everywhere there was that same
hushed air of expectancy,
After Airs, Roosevelt's final ad-
dress it was Mrs. Kate Aitken's
privilege to extend the thanks of
the directors of the CNE to their
gracious and distinguished guest
for coming to visit them. Along
with other fitting remarks Mrs. Ait-
ken also said this: "\1Ve know Mrs,
Roosevelt must be a remarkable
woman because she had no trouble
at all in winning the approval of
Queen Mary, And, believe me, any-
one who is approved by the Queen
Mother MUST be all right!" I
liked that . just a few words,
even though lightly spoken, were
yet sufficiently strong by implica-
tion, to link together representa-
tives of two great democratic
countries—the Old and the New
the British Empire and the
United States of America.
And so ended a great day — a
day long to be remembered by those
who saw and heard Eleanor Roose-
velt. We owe her a debt of grati-
tude for visiting our Canadian Na-
tional Exhibition, and to the Board
of Directors for inviting her. But
I also think a good deal of credit
should go to Mrs. Aitken for her
share in bringing a well-known and
well -loved personality, such as Mrs.
Roosevelt, to a typically and re-
ceptive Canadian audience.
What People Grab
As Souvenirs
The souvenir business is boosting
in the United States. Forty-five
thousand people have applied to buy
bits and pieces of the White House,
the President's home, which is now
being restored.
Prices of the bits range from 25
cents to about $150,00 and if every
application was graved there would
be no White House left,
Recently one souvenir hunter
who had a passion for collecting
door knockers was arrested, In the
basement of his house he had seven.
hundred and sixty door knockers in
different shapes and size, They had
been collected from twenty-two
different towns, -
"I've been helping- myself to a
little souvenir in the' forin of a
knocker from every town I've
visited," the ratan admitted in court.
"They help me to remember what
happened,"
Spoons are the most popular
trophies for the souvenir enthusiast,
Trans -Atlantic liners lose an
average of two hundred spoons per
trip, and often more bulky objects
like cruets and vases are missed
from the dining -roosts,
The Sultan - of Johore had to
cease using his gold plate at State
banquets because so many gold
spoons and other pieces of cutlery
were taken away by Itis guests.
The breaking point was reached,
however, when one of the souvenir -
hunters made off with a silver hair-
brush with the Sultan's crest on it,
The Sultan thereupon announced
that wtless the brush was r'etur'ned
he would have to stop inviting
Europeans to his State banquets.
Americans are said to be the
leading exponents of the art of
souvenir -hunting,
Because of their genius in thin
respect certain Parisian hotels cat-
ering for tourists now refuse to
lay fish knives on the table.
But they still lose a staggering
quantity of ashtrays, tumblers,
towels, plates, and other odds -and -
ends,
Souvenir -selling at seaside resorts
is no longer the profitable business
it used to be. Not long ago there
was a big demand for ashtrays,
brooches, spoons, and cruets with
such words as "A present from
Mudville" embossed on thein.
They can still be seen in the
shops to -day, but few holiday-mak-
ers buy them,
"If they-inty anything," one
shopkeeper said, "it's usually cloth-
ing— scarves, hats, pullovers, ties.
Nobody eau afford souvenirs these
days," •

Memory Selection: I am not
ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the power of God unto
salvation to everyone that be-
lieveth, Ro. 1:15a.
Christianity is in truth a world
religion. Isaiah in Itis prophecy
foresaw concerning the Messiah
that "The Gentiles shall conte to
thy light, and kings to the bright-
ness of thy rising,' 'Jesus before his
ascension said to his disciples, "Ye
shall be witness unti me both in
Jerusalem, attd in all Judea, and in
Samaria, and unto the uttermost
part of the earth," Paul was the
foremost of those in the early
church to demonstrate that the
Gospel was for all nations. Hr
told the Good News through Asit
Minor and Greece and declares hit
intention to bring it to Rome, tlu
heart of the empire, and thence to
Spain, He did not shrink from pre
senting the simple story of salvo
tion through Jesus Christ in mighty
Route. He said, "I am not ashanef
of the gospel of Christ, for it if
the power of God unto salvation
to everyone that believeth," Hem
was power' -not the power of
marching armies—but the power
of God. It was not a power to des-
troy sten but to save them. More-
over the power is available to all
on the simple condition of faith.
No wonder Paul was aflame with
zeal to tell it everywhere. He was
intolerant of other religions. Nol
that he would prevent people from
worshipping as they pleased, but
he was persuaded that Christianity
was by far superior to all othet
beliefs. There could be no cont.
promise. This gospel was God's
message to mtan. Paul was willing
to give his life that others might
hear it. Those who know the heart -
changing power of this salvation
feel that way about it, too, We
must tell it.
