Arnold. 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.
