But defy you to find •: anything much More ridiculous than some' of 'the styles which fashiion magazines are showing today. I did think that woman had really progressed with tho times, that with her advent into public life, her new status in •the world, that' she had taken things into her own hands and would not allow herself to be handi- est/Med by a foolish slavery to. fash- ion. The style of clothes worn for the past few , years have been: so sensible, so -comfortable, so health- ful, that I , fondly hoped we ' had reached a place where we might be able' -to give 'the least possible at- tention to clothes and give our minds' to other' -things. Of course,there has been a lot; of criticism f wo- men's clothes, during thepast few ,years. But -then, there has always, been Criticism:' of ' w o m e n' s clothes ever since EVo .,Owed together fig leaves and fashioned an apron for: herself. And of course we -have' had ,some women who went• to extreme§ and inyited criticism. If short, skirts were the style some women were not satisfied "unless, they'. had their skirts several inches short- er' than anyone else; if necks Were low, they wore their's so low that there. was sometimes a doubt' as to whether they'd forgotten the upper part • of the dress altogether. But the great majority of women have -been -dressing -•more becomingly- and more sensibly during the past few years than women have ever dressed in the history of the world. If the women; having known the freedom and comfort of such clothing, go back to the confining,•uncontfortable garb which fashion designers .are trying to foist upon them, they are hopeless. For,of course, it is the fashion designers and manufacturers who are trying to bring about a radical change in women's dress. -Styles. have been too stationery, they have been too•simple and changed too lit-. tle front season to season; One could wear last year's dress this year just as well as not, and why should not a woman be able to wear a dress until it is worn out? Women will buy just as many new dresses as they can'afford, because ninety-nine women. `in a hundred likes to have a change of dress. A woman likes to feel well dressed. If she is suitably attired a woman can forget her clothes and set her mind ens:whet she' doing. That may be one rea- son that, during the past few years, women •'have been turning their at- tention to so many things. And she should not allow herself to be divert- ed by stays, trailing skirts and sil- ly fantastic fashions. She should put her foot down and refuse to be stam- peded for the benefit of fashion de- signeis and manufacturers of wo- men's wear. REBEKAH Huron Educational Association (Continued from page 6) Education both in music and agri- culture, as well as for household science, schbol lunches, libraries, etc. He advocated making the school and its surroundings the beauty spot of the community, and deplored the, fact that school grounds and buildings are often so unattractive, Officers Aro Re -Elected The treasurer's report was read and adopted, and the election of of- fices took place, which resulted in the former officers of the associa- tion being reelected. They are: President, William Archibald, Sea - forth; first vice-president, E. Fulton, Brussels; ` 2nd vice;president, Mr. *Kellar, Seaforth; secretary -treas- urer, Mrs. R. Davidson, Dungannon. The place of meeting for the con- vention next year was discussed, and the question was left in the hands of the executive to decide. Heretb- fore the meetings were held in Clio- ton, which is a more central place, and it is believed that a larger rep- resentation would be present at that centre. The president asked for the support of all in making the convention of : next yeas• a success. Ma•. Fulton was appointed as a dele- gate to attend the district conven- tion to be held at Guelph on Satur- day, November 9th. Mr. Fanner, principal of the Sea - forth Collegiate Institute, followed .with a most inspiring address upon• education, in ,which he traced its his- tory from the earliest times,, through the different ages. At the present time he believed education to be in a period of transition, from which it would emerge -with wonder- fully improved , facilitis. The eco- nomic situation,' of the province is changing. The scientific study of soils • and farms machinery, together with intensive, .cultivation is bring- ing people back to the farms, The time is fast approaching when ag- riculture willbe taught in, all schools.

In addition to the above, 763 chi-- dren have been treated in the Out Patient Department during: the past year snaking a total of 3,820 children treated there since the opening of the hospital: . Of far . greater. interest •than' any report in connection with the hos- pital are 'the stories of the many lit - tie patients who come to it from all parts of Western Ontario. (Bobby's story in particular is turning otic happily., This little chap u'ontracted infantile paralysis when three months old. He was not admitted to the hospitai until two years later, when he was absolutely helpless. Treatment was commenced immediately, which at this time metint "splints 'and mapsage. Latex is shell cast was applied"to the linrbS and ,bade. Progress in this case was heart-breakingly slow, until- a yen% 'later when one'day it was found'_ that Bobby wilt able to roll himself:over- A creeping 'device was thgn,iyiade for hint and' `though his legs •'were still very wobbly he was; able to drag himself about. Casts were changed several times,, massage, and exercises continued daily, and then `Bobby graduated from his ' creeper 't& his `Lincoln"—•a steal ring" arrangement Which ` moved os castors `and ;preven- ted the little fellow from tumbling.•. This 1 s teas neGessary until' last May when it was replaced by; two `v sticks, and now the sticks have gene the way of the ,she'll cast;' the creeper and the `Lincoln', and Bobby can run as fast as any five-year-old, 'even with his splints, For' this child splints will always be'; necessary, but his splendid ,iniprovement.'since °ad- mission' is as source. of great joy to his parents and to the staff.

The War Memorial Children's Hos- pital has been: functioning .only six years, but :its many Bobbies and Shirleys testify to its splendid re- cord of achievement and to its pro- mise of an "Equal Chance" to every physically handicapped' child in Wlestern Ontario.
