ASLEEP AMONG HIS TOYS I found my babe asleep among his toys, A quarter-hour I'd missed his jocund noise .And wondered what so quieted the lad, Saying, "He's never still unless he's bad." But when I tiptoed in. — Love's stealthy spy— A touching picture met my doting eye: One hand lay on the engine of his train, The other grasped a tiny aeroplane, Upon his face a world -old look or care- Mankind in miniature lay dreaming there! - I lifted him and hugged him to my breast, Kissed him, and laid him gently down. to rest Upon a couch. The weary limbs relaxed; The puckered brow, with wondering overtaxed, Released its troubled frown; and with a sigh Of deep relief he slumbered on, while I With murmured words of choking tenderness, Smoothed his warm cheek, his hands, his wrinkled dress— Did all the things we love -mad parents do— Old, old caresses that axeever new. Some day the great, kind Father of us all, Noting we make no answer to His call, Tiptoeing in to where we've been at play Through all the hours of our allotted day, Will find us 'mid our playthings, fast asleep, Ow toys about us in a tumbled heap, Each weary hand upon a trinket laid- Some phantom hope born in the marts of trade. Then, in His arms, the care of our hearts possessed Will yield .their place to sweet and clreantful rest. CONTENTED JOHN One honest John Tomkins, a hedger and ditcher, Although he was poor, did not want to be richer; For all such main wishes in him were prevented, - By a fortunate habit of being con- tented. - - KNITTING OUR LIVES ... .......

The entire sock may be compared te aur lives. The number of stitches cast on and the first row are com- parable to our entrance into this world of joy, sorrow, happiness and perplexity. (It is very often much as we make it ourselves). The early stitches may be likened to our baby- hood, where although we. are in the learning stage yet we are almost ab- solutely dependent on the care of others. During that time perhaps we require more constant attention than atany other period of our lives. Many hours.are spent by our parents, espec- ially our mothers in trying to keep the spark of life in us. We are some- times very near to the border line. So in knitting, if we are not careful we will have loose ends which will snake a very bad start for our sock. Then we go on to the rest of the ribbing which maybe compared to our childhood. We are there a little more on our own responsibility. Some one dear to us "ribs two", we try to fol- low and "purl two". We are taught by experience and by the - example of others. We have, as all through our liths, just knit stitch by stitch, our needles and wool must be uniform in size. We would have a funny looking sock if we used a No. 11 pin and with it a No. 5 needle. In order to be there will be na more strife: good Christians we must have good "PEG" character as a standard for all our work. The "ribbing" portion of our lives, say from two to ten is the most formative. ' We learn life's les- sons young. During this period the knowledge which will stay with us until the thread is broken at the end is very ofteninilled into our minds. We acquire habits which will mean our salvation or ruination. Every young child should be very carefully guarded. Though cold was the weather, or dear was the food, John never was found in a murmur- ing mood; For this he was constantly heard to declare,— What he could not prevent, he would cheerfully bear. "For why should I grumble and mur- mur?" he said; "If I cannot get meat, I can surely get bread; And though fretting may make my calamities deeper, It never can cause bread and cheese to be cheaper." If John was afflicted with sickness or pain, He wish'd himself better, but did not complain, Nor lie down and fret in despondence and sorrow, But said, that he hoped to be better tomorrow. If any one wrona'd him. or treated tibia ill. Why, John,. sociable still; For he said, that revenging the in- jury done Would be making two rogues when there need be but one.

Here's a hill that I know you can climb." But the brother inside very quickly replied: - "Old fellow, I haven't got time." Opportunity wandered along In search of a man who would rise. He said to the• indolent throng: "23ere's a chance for the fellow who tries:" But each of them Said with a smile, "I wish I could do it, but I'm busy today, Very busy today, and I'm sorry to say That I really haven't got time." Of all the excuses there are By which this old world is accursed, This "haven't got time" is by far The poorest, the feeblest, the worst.

BAYFIELD LADY IS 96 YEARS OLD Mrs. Ranson Field, who celebrated her 96th birthday on. Wed., Nov. 15, was born at Bayfield and has lived there all her life. Her parents were among the earliest settlers. Christo- pher Johnson, age 17, and Catherine iaiwin carne from Fermanagh, Ire- land, to Canada in 1829. They were married some years later and settled at Bayfield within the corporation li- mits half a mile south on the Sauble line, clearing the land themselves. Margaret Johnson, one of their eleven children, was ntarried to Henry Howard, who had come out from the old country on the same ship as her parents, he being then a young boy. Nine children were born to this couple, fivie of whom are liv- ing, Mrs. Fred Baker and Mrs. C. Berry, Bayfield; George, Regina; Christopher, of Windsor, and J. E. of Bayfield, and one son, Robert, of Smith's Falls, died in 1938. Mr. Howard died in 1887 and in 1900 Mrs. Howard was united in marriage with Mr. Ranson Field, who passed away in 1929. In her younger days, Mrs. Field experienced the hardships and also the pleasures of pioneer life. She recalls walking to Goderich to mar- ket eggs and cheese and carrying a basket of groeeries on the return journey. Long trips through the bush were not uncommon in those days as she knew an Exeter woman who, walked from that place to Goderich carrying a pail of butter, and as a young man her husband walked te Oshawa to get a job on the railway. Her parents had also made the long journey from Toronto. to Bayfield, after landing in Montreal, with oxen and an foot. Two of the Johnson sisters were the first babies baptised in Trinity Church, Bayfield. Of the Johnson family of eleven children, two brothers and three sisters are still living, Mrs. Field, , 95William Johnson, Bayfield, 88, Mrs. Cha,. Parker, Bayfield, 82, Mrs. Belle Par- ker, Saskatchewan, 80, Wellington Johnson, Nakoma, N. D., 73. Mrs. Field's host of friends send congratu- lations. DUTCH APPLE PUDDING This recipe serves a double purpose, it not only is another means of using apples in tlee diet, but it calls for soy flour, which is rich in vitamins and minerals and adds to food Values. The Soya beam has been the source of body-building substance for upwards of four thousand, five hundred years, among the people of northern China, a race noted for their abiity to engage in hard manual labour over long per- iods of time. The introduction of these products unto the food of the -white race has been delayed because of two factors — the ground whole bean has a bitter taste and rapidy becomes rancid. But in recent years science has conquered both of these draw- backs, so that now at is possible to purchase Soya flour with a pleasant nutty flavour and. which undergoes no change over ann indefinitely long per- iod of time. Combined with hard Can- adian flour, it can be used in many household recipes to add to food values for the family.

MALICIOUS LIBEL ON THE RED CROSS FATS FROM FISHES The fat fishes supply not only abundance of Vitamin A which is the most valuable ingredient of animal fats, especially in the dark period of the year, but many essences Wili& can replace those of butter. The fat fishes are herrings, pilchards, sprats, salmon, mackereland eels. The sprat, during its short season, is especially valuable for it supplies large quail. tides of ' available lime salts in ad. dition to its meat and fat. The herring, which is adailable all the year round, is, or should be, our chief supplier of animal fat. We will admit that -the herring seems to have more bones than are really necessary, but if you split it down the back and peel off the fillets carefully -most or - the awkward bones will be left be- hind. There are many ways of cook- ing herrings each giving a distinctive flavour an all equally nutritious. Salmon, especially tinned, is infer - ler to herring in fat value, but it has a superior meatiness which is one reason for its popularity. The white fish -plaice, soles, cod, hake, ets., are very poor in fat. These fish absorb the fat in which they are fried, but as this fat is rarely first-class, and is usually overheated its value is small. Fry in deep fat so that the fish is submerged and cooked rapidly. BYRD EXPEDITION IS OFF FOR ANTARCTIC Sails .From Boston on First Leg of Long Voyage Without fanfare, the first half or the first Antarctic expedition spon- sored -by the United States Govern- ment in 100 years sailed from Boston last. Wednesday on the first leg of the long journey to the Southland. I Just' before dawn the motorship North Star—loaded with everything from food to phonograph records, from sled dogs to a 27 -ton snow cruiser — cast off her lines at the army base and slid down the harbor en route to Philadelphia. With the declaration that he believe. ed Little America might provide a new and "safer" base for a United States -Australia air trail, Rear Ad- miral Richard E. Byrd, the exped- ition's leader, gave the signal for the takeoff. The North Star's next stop was to - be Philadelphia to pick up some air- planes. After that she will head for Panama, then for New Zealand and finally for the expedition's west base in the Antarctic. This week, the second ship in the expedition, the Barkentine Bear, will follow the North Star on the 12,000 mile journey. Red Cross canvassers and many interested citizens have been annoyed by persistent stories which are in cir- culation in Goderich and in the dist- rict round about to the effect that Red -Cross socks are being sold to soldiers instead of being issued where needed. Needless to' say, this story is a gross libel and without any founda- tion whatever. Private Ernie bled - Lead of the Perth Regiment is one of the men to whom, it is alleged, Red Cross socks were sold in Strat- ford -Tor 75 cents per pair. Mr. Gee. McLeod denies - the report, stating that Ernie left home with a plentiful supply of socks and has had several pair rade and forwarded to him by his mother and sister. He has never needed to buy socks. Other stories to the effect that Red Cross socks were sold to men over- seas during the last war also are known to be untrue. The. Red Gross never operated any canteens or booths in England or France. Their supplies were distributed there through a cent- ral depot 'to hospitals and to the Quartermaster General and were eventually issued to the men, many of whom do not know to this day that they were wearing - Red Gross products. - Local officers of, the Red Gross So- ciety, of which Mr. R. G. Hays, S.C., himself an overseas mala, is Presi- dent, wish to deny ensphatically that there is any truth in the stories.- Goderich Signal -Star. TRE RIGHT TO WORK Every person has a right to work.. If he is not gainfully occupied the idea' of communism will slip in and the demand to deprive the rich of their wealth will become dominent. An individual who is employed and making a living, enjoying a portion of the world's pleasures and advant- ages, does not think about the grin- ciples of communism that take his job away from him, let him want for the !away of life, and he will have an entirely different outlook on life. Most people prefer to work for a liv- : ing rather than have relief given them. They prefer to earn what they ,have so that they can look the world in the face and have no feelings of dependency. The sooner employment, is brought up to the point where every .man or woman has a paying job, the sooner the economic question will be entirely solved. t Alt the 'end of 1938: Dirket were 397,176 members of Junior Red Gross Branches in Canada, ,exclusive ori 32,800 members in Newfoundland who are affiliated with the Canadian or- ganization.
