Circle Meets -;• Mrs. John Farquhar was 1i08teiie' kit her home on Friday evening for the members of the Arnold Circle of Ca1•- 1nel Presbyterian Church; .The presi- dent, Mrs, Melvin Moir, presided over the program whichopened by sing- ing ' The great. Physician now is near," after which Miss Beryl Pilaff led in prayer, The Scripture reading Isaiah 42, 5.11, and Michael, 1-5, wee read by Mise Irene Hoggarth. The hymn, "(living Thanks Unto the Father" was sung and the business and offering were taken up, also the roll call answered. The topic on the Italians was very ably taken by Miss Jean McQueen, The meeting closed by singing "Abide With Me" and the Lord's prayer in unison. Bride -Elect Presented With Shower - About thirty neighbors and friends gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Corbett •on Wednesday evening in honor of their daughter Evelyn, bride -elect and presented her with a miscellaneous shower, Mrs. Art Finlayson was in charge of housework is still elementary, she the following program, which opened was her mother's right hand during the holiday period. It is difficult to say how or when it began. Maybe a stray errand set her off on her career, or maybe an older girl in the district acted as a spur. Anyway, she shouldered her mother's marketing problems, • She was not alone in this, Her companions did likewise, and they perfected some sort of African bush telegraph system of communicating important news items. One day she would come in, flushed from runn- ing, saying, "Mummy, fish at half - past eleven. Three people in the line already." And off she would fly, her pigtails streaming behind her, to the line. Or it was "Colquhouns are -go- ing to have sultana cake this after- noon," and there she was not far from the head of the line at the ap- pointed time. In the evenings I occasionally hear arguments on sums, She has yet to piaster the intricacies of fractions. Quarters and halves she knows and dimly she perceives tenths. Thirds are a mystery, and she cannot und- erstand why her brother laughs when she says "three -thirds." But she is absolutely sure with points. An hour in a line, passed in small talk with a companion,• might dull many a mind, especially if, when the big moment arrives and the shop- keeper has no biscuits or porridge oats, a rapid decision involving neat calculation has- to be made. She' knows every points value. Indeed, in her brief news flashes to her mother announcing that the grocer has re- ceived eceived a consignment of raisins or sardines, she usually added the num- The weather' during the school holi- days helped. A day or two of :frost and she learned to skate snore or less comfortably; a powdering of snow and she and her brother came home, apple-cheeked, dragging the sled behind them,, a city cinema, with Walt Disney-orainmed programs: for children, and a pantomime eo5'- erect wet afternoons. Now she is back at school again, and she has not avoided acquiring certain happy menlorieS. Now she is back at school and her mother misses her dreadfully. School holidays can be tiresome for grown-ups who are not on holiday. Feet get muddier and muddier, cloth- ing wears at a disproportionate rate, and shoes -one shudders, thinking of the lack of coupons and cobblers. It is always held that the careful mother should teach her child the routine of housework. My daughter, as I have hinted, is a very busy per- son, yet, while her knowledge of by singing Auld Lang Syne with Miss Gladys Luker at the piano. Mrs. Chas. Forrest favored with a piano instrumental. Betty and Jean Arm- strong sang a duet entitled "You Are My Sunshine," Miss Mattie Ellis fay - orad with a humorous reading en- titled "Mrs, Casey at the Euchre Party." Miss Gladys Luker played a piano solo and the program con- cluded by all, singing Home on the Range," The living -room was beauti- fully arranged with spring dowers, white bells, pink and white stream. ors extending to a decorated chair, for the bride, The gifts were present- ed In a beautifully decorated basket carried by Shirley Coleman and Bet- ty Armstrong, The bride was the re- cipient 01 many useful gifts for which she thanked all and all joined in singing "For She's a Jolly Good Fellow." Contests were enjoyed and refreshments served. Mr. and Mrs. Robt. McKenzie and family and Mrs. Peter Schwalm vis- ited with ilIiss Mae Schwalm in Lon- don on Sunday. Mr. Morley Sanders, Hensall high school principal, underwent an oper- ation for appendicitis in Scott Mem- orial Hospital, Seaforth, on Tuesday. Pte. Willner Dalrymple of Camp Borden, while visiting his parents, Mr, and Mrs. George Dalrymple, had . the misfortune to have his hand caught in a pump jack, badly crush- ing his linger. He was attended by Dr. D. G. Steer and removed to Scott Memorial Hospital where he received treatment. • Trousseau Tea.--, Mrs. Alfred Clarke entertained at ' a trousseau tea at her home on Tuesday evening in honor of her daughter, Mary, bride -elect. Mrs. Alice Joynt assisted in receiving the guests. Miss Florence Welsh poured tea assisted by Mrs. E. L. Mickle and Mrs. Alda Simmons, Messrs, Wilson and Ed Berry of Windsor spent their mother's birth- day here with Mrs. Ann Berry re- I cently. EDUCATION By William Cockburn Duncan in "Britain." She reached the age of ten in Oc- tober. Ahnost two years ago she ' came out of the cellar with the rest of us and helped her elder brother I to collect shrapnel and bomb frag- ments. Most of the times we were in the cellar she slept' on a camp -bed made from a deck -chair. The broken I windows, the inch or so of soot on the furniture, the demolished houses round the corner -all of these she saw. And yet the war is a vague far- off thing to her. ,tc p v lg , ' She has her school and hockey, her swimming and her ballet danc- ing. At her age to pass the interme- diate examination of the British Ballet Organization means the al- most complete utilization of what spare time she has to the ahnost total exclusion of the war. She does her home lessons during the news bulle- tin so that she can listen to Tommy Handley. Her brother, three years older, is entirely different. Because of the war, geography is his finest subject. It is a mistake to take a walk in the country with him, for na man can resist putting a name to every pass- ing plane, No man, unless he has an eye like a hawk and a mind carefully indexed, should do so in the presence of his thirteen -year-old son. Every Royal Observer Corps post in the country, I ant convinced, should have a schoolboy on its staff. My son is al- so an authority on naval design and on tanks. Opportunities forseeing tanks are few, yet he has an eye for them. l4Iany ships he sees, and I have long since refused to argue with him, His "1-T.M. ships at War" is carefully noted with additions, sink- inge, actions, and even awards to the crews, With a safety razor blade and balsa wood he can construct a cor- vette or a Spitfire in an ]lour or so, All this passes over his sister's head. Christmas was difficult. The re- ceipt of a savings certificate or an- other postal order was the signal for a pout. Money in wartime means very .little to a girl, and certificates representing more money later on can be almost boring. We did our best, fashioning dolls' furniture from scraps and adding to her library, ber of points neeessbry'to "buy" and the amount' left available in each book. I think it is all a game for her. '.t'hes'e is the element of competition in it, Now that the holidays are over she markets when she can after school hours, but especially on Satur• day mernilags. To her mother, who formerly shopped by telephone, .she has conte as a boon much regretted in her absence. Clearing Public Auction Sale Farm Stock, Implements and Furn- iture. Fred W.
