Whether the call comes from miles away or just around the corner, the invitation seems so much more personal, more inviting, when you hear it over the telephone. Old and young alike turn to the phone when they're in a hurry. A round -up of the gang, a family reunion, a holiday dinner, a big date — it's faster, more exciting to telephone! And even the blow of bad news can usually be softened by a sympathetic voice. Next to seeing the people you care about is hearing their warm, familiar voices.

The first meeting for 1955 of Group 2 W.A. of Northside United Church was held at the home of Mrs. Ross Savauge. Mrs. Hoffman presided. Roll call was answered by 24 members with a verse of a favorite poem from the old P. S. reader, Business part of the meeting was' conducted by the president, Mrs. Shannon. It was decided to continuo with the talent bags, also to prepare birthday calen- dars. The treas., Mrs. Storey re- ported a balance of over $300. The topic, "The lowest step of the ladder is just as useful and necessary as the highest", was efficiently dealt with by Mrs. Hoffman. A little boy watching a car- penter making a ladder one day, inquired, "why do you fasten the first and last rung so well?" The carpenter explained to the boy how necessary these rungs are. The one we step on -first, and the one we step off last. These -being the fundamentals must be strong. This story af- fects adults, because we must start at the ,bottom and work up, We cannot start at the top and remain there because life is a constant series of steps. We must see that our children get the first step in 'Christian in- struction and carry it on through the years. We must also give wise counsel and keep it up so that when they have reached the stage where they depend on themselves, they are prepared, A delicious lunch was served by Mrs. Aikenhead and Mrs. Lawson, The thanks of the meet- ing was expressed by Mrs. Mof- fat. Among the satisfactions of a Bank Account . It's reassuring to watch savings grow ... to have your bank book record your progress. You feel more secure with your money safe and readily available when you need it. • It's a comforting feeling to have cash on hand for opportunities, emergencies. Multiply by 9,200,000 deposit accounts the satisfactions0you enjoy from your bank account. The grand total of comfort, security and peace of mind shows, better than a dollar total, the essential value of a bank account. More deposit accounts than there are adult Canadians, with new accounts opening every day, reflects the confidence of the nation in the chartered banks.

JOSEPH HISTORY RECALLED BY EVENTS Narcisse Cantin died many years ago. The other day came a formal announcement that "the governor-general in council had been pleased to declare that the Crown has ceased to be in control or occupation of the wharf at St, Joseph, Huron County." So the Dominion government formally got rid of any respon- sibility for a wharf that, built many years ago on an open shore, had been long since swept away. There was no natural -har- bor: but Cantin visioned a man- made harbor as the northern terminal of a canal which, link- ing Lake Huron and Lake Erie, would bypass the dangers of the roundabout route through the Detroit River. It was about the time Laurier carne into power in 1890 that Narcisse Cantin launched his project of creating a harbor city on tthe . Huron shore. A Ft ench- Canadian,` Cantin visioned a greater future for his race. Near Dashwood, close to the lake, a number of French -Cana - diens from Quebec had settled in the late 50s or early 605. With Laurier•'s victoryt a movelment for repatriation to Canada of Quebecois who had gone to the eastern United States got tinder way. 'Cantin planned to 'bring French-Canadians from the Chi- cago area to settle at St. Joseph, with, as -attractions, a lake port, a summer resort, industries, and the canal. He estimated that with an ex- penditure of $5,000 by the Do- minion public works department St. Joseph could be provide with a harbor as an outlet for his industrial community. He started with two basic in- dustries, a brickyard and a saw- mill, planning to market their output by, water to Chicago and other U.S. cities on the Upper Lakes. Cantin, accompanied by the St. Joseph parish priest, went to Ot- tawa to explain the immigration scheme. The vote of $5,000 dor pre- litninary work on the St. Joseph harbor roused a storm in Parlia- ment. In particular, John Sher- ritt, Tory member for North Middlesex, denounced it as pure- ly visionary. The 13russels Post caustically commented that "St. Joseph needs a harbor as badly as a goose needs side pockets." But J. Israel'Tarte, minister of pub- lic works, resolutely championed his compatriot's enterprise. "We are paying large sums for people from Russia and Poland", the minister declared, "and 1 thought it would be a good thing to bring a few French-Canadians to invade Ontario." The $5,000 was voted, and in no great time a pier was extend- ed far into the lake. There, it seems, the 'harbor project began and ended. The city was planned—on pa- per. Indeed foundations were laid for public buildings, and a sort of civic centre designed. The brickyard actually operated; the sawmill never materialized; the harbor was left unfinished. Cantin's hopes .died hard. But in 1920, with a keen demand for scarce building materials, the promoters' of the town's hotel, which never opened, sold it to a wrecking concern which scrap- ped the structure and disposed of the material:. For nearly a quarter century, the huge structure, tenanted by birds and bats, had been a con- spicuous landmark of the Huron shore, and for the occasional wayfarer a glamorous reminder of lost dreams.

The discussion for the evening was Agricultural Fairs. ,(1) There are numerous fairs in this area which include London, Seaforth, Exeter, Zur- ich, Bayfield, Hensall, Clinton. •(2) Most of these fairs are satis- factory to a certain extent but there is room for improvement. .(3) Grain exhibiting could be improved if the present one bus. lots were raised. to larger quan- tities, this would eliminate the hand picking of samples. More classes for grade cattle would encourage more exhibitors, also better classification of vege- tables, entries in the fancy wood crafts, arts, etc, should not be eligible one year after another. (B) We think Feeder Calf Clubs, Field crop competition helps pro- mote better -farming. (C) Mid- ways would be much better if run by local service clubs. Fair Boards should strive to promote local competition in forms of entertainment. Euchre winners were, ladies, Mrs. Ida Dick. Gents, John 'Sol - clan, Next meeting at the home of Mr. •and Mrs, John Baker.
