The daily travel is too hard on his health, and we find it too ex- pensive to continue living here, too, So we most decide to inove where he works. "My children refuse to go along. My daughter has a good job here, and she doesn't want- to leave it. The boy dislikes the idea of chang- ing schools. 1 never had any real happiness before, Anne Hirst. My first hus- band deserted me 13 years ago, and I worked and raised my children the hard way.

Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q. Is it obligatory to write letters of condolence: A. Yes. They are obligations of friendship and should not be ne- glected.

E i RONICLE Crwtttt lir e P Clarke Readers, please take notice! Any remark I make in this column about the weather is purely coincidental, and, when read, may have no rela- tion whatsoever to any kind of weather, past. present or suture. There now, perhaps that will look after things if what I say appears utterly ridiculous. You bee, right now nye are still suffering from the big blow we had last week. We did not get badly snowed in but our hydro was off for awhile, and when that came on the tele- phone went off, and hasn't been fixed yet. And that was six days ago. So many lines were d, wn and of course the repair men can't he everywhere at once so we just have to accept tate situation and make the best of it. And you know it is rather rest- ful not having to listen to the telephone ringing all day long. There are 15 subscribers on our line and that means a lot of rings coating in. In fact one has to be Johnny on the spot to get the lint .-hen it is necessary to put in a call, It must be nice to have a private telephone and hear only one's own ring, On a party line one has to be on the alert all the time to distinguish otte ring from another. Perhaps you are running the washing machine, the vacuum or the sewing machine, or, in my case, pounding the typewriter. The phone starts ringing -yon stop, and wait and listen—just in case the ring shall be for you. Or perhaps you are sure it is yours and you conte running downstairs and pant a breathless "Hello" into the transmitter. But it isn't your num- ber after all. so you apologize, hang up the receiver and go back to you, job, A little later It rings again— probably the sante party, t ou think —and you keep working. Pon it rings again. This time volt stop immediately, "Ah, but that was our ringl" So you rush downstairs again but before you make proper contact with your party three different per- sons come on the line and In- quire "Is the line busy?" Busy? .Chat's a joke—but then that's the party line for you—and we are glad to have it even at that. But when the line is out of order what a lot of time you savoy 1 can type away to net heart's They're Simple—and Simply Delicious with MAGIC MAGIC RAISIN SCONES Mix and sift into bowl, lee a once -sifted pastry flour for 114c. once -sifted hard wheat flour), 3 taps, Magic Baking Powder, In top salt.

Or perhaps you ask whoever is going down town to pick up an order at the grocery store—you'll phone it in presently. Too late you re- member your useless telephone, so the order is called for—and of course it isn't there, Our worst mix-up this time was on Saturday. I was down town and heard via the grapevine sys- tem that Daughter would be out for the weekend. I quite expected to find her at home when I got back. But there was no Daughter; either then or at any time during the weekend. So 3 imagine she tried to phone us and couldn't get through. 'While down town £ stopped for awhile at an auction sale and saw some real antiques. Knives and forks so old they had stag handles; heath' ironstone cups yellow with age: a sideboard with brass drawer handles featuring an Egyptian head, and a cocoa set of Limoges china. But I came away --there was noth- ing I really needed, but had I stayed I night have been tempted. Instead of auction sale bargains I came home with a quilt batt -- now I have a quilt set up with a crazy patchwork top that I made about 15 years ago. About time I got to work on it, isn't it? To avoid disarranging the living -room I set up this quilt in our bedroom. That seemed like a good idea until this morning when Partner wanted a pair of socks and had to crawl under the quilt to reach his bureau drawer. Maybe he thought if one of us had to go down on all fours it might as well be him No doubt niy turn will cone later, Here is au idea you might like to try --if you have the stuff to do it with. Among my half -for gotten treasures T had a box of travellers samples—heave stuff suitable for motor rugs. I crocheted around these patches and then sewed tltent together. Result—a couple of teensy plaid bed-tluows that are splendid as an extra for chilly nights. The sante idea could be carried out with any heavy material using 100 per cent nylon wool for the crocheted edges. That sante wool is grand for darning -- so strong you can't break it, yet as soft and fine as baby wool, Try it sometime yott'll like it. Shorter Course In Therapy A Problem hue been solved for ruruty of Ontario's entailer hospi- tals kith the anttouueeuteut by Dr, Sidney Sinitic, president of the IJni- varsity of ".t'orontee that training for Oceupatioual and Physical Tltet- apy will be combined ie one 3 -year diplouta course this entturtn, Of- fielals of the Faculty of Medicine report that many hospital heads who are eager to improve their convalescent t1tereey facilities can afford to set ftp and maintain one new department, hut not two. l's'i.n now the two departments are working in close co-operation in ntany modern hospitals and re- habilitation centras; Throughout Canada the demand for trained therapists exceeds the supply. Inli- cations are that there will be an evert greater demand for those with training in both techniques, Dr, Smith said that during World War 11, it became obvious that there was touch overlapping of the two techniques as practised in gen- eral hospitals and convalescent ceeutres, It was realized that the Physical Therapist st'ould benefit by knowing something of the tech- niques of the Occupat'oual Thera- pist, and likewise the Occupational Therapist would increase her scope and value by knowing the tech- niques of the Physical Therapist, Recognizing that the treatments used in Physical Therapy and Oc- cupational Therapy are now firmly established as an integral part of therapeutics, particularly in rehab- ilitation, a committee of the Fac- ulty of Medicine has recently made an 'intensive study of the curricu- lum in the light of modern trends continually developing in convales- cent and rehabilitation centres. Young women trained in this combined course can look forward to employment in general hospitals, orthopaedic and children's hospitals, in rehabilitation centres, menetat hospitals, sanitoria, curative work- shops and disablement centres, or itt private practice. It is expected that graduates of the diploma course wilt be eligible for membership in both of the pro- fessional associations. After taking the basic course the young woman who wishes to specialize in one branch may do so by interning in a hospital for six months or a year. Up to now, the University of Tor- onto has been the only Canadian university to give training in -Occu- pational Therapy. UNI YSCHOOt LSSON By Rev. Vit. 'Barclay Warrens CHURCH ORGANIZATION AND LEADIERSHIP Acta 6:1.4; 2047.18, 21i; 1 Cor, 12: 27.28, Golden Text; Study to chew thy. self approved unto Cto.t, a workmate that needeth not to Le ashamed, rightly dividing the work of truth, 2 Tim. 2:15. Clutrches have their troubles, too. But when the complaint was made that the Greek widows were neg- lected in the daily ministration, tate apostles made a wise pronounce. meta: "It is not reason that we should leave the Word of God, and serve tables,—We will give our- selves continually to prayer and the miuls:ry of the Word,"ratfnis- ter wilt) abides be, that opinion will do a great work, A minister etenilnt operate a church alone, Willing workers are essential, if he can find, as the apostles did, "mets of honest re- port, fall of the Doty Ghost and wisdom" to fill the key post ious, that cliurclt will advance. 'roo often the modern church chooses Wren for the leading offices because of their ability to pay, rather than their in- clination to pray, There is a place 01 service fur every individual. (Inc lay woman,. realizing that she was not an apos- tle, a prophet of a teacher, said, "I can be one of tate helps." When Paul established a church in a city, he effected some organ- ization before leaving. Thus, whets he returned by Ephesus, he was• met by the elders of the church. Theirs was a responsible office, I -le charged them saying, "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers," A church is not just an organiza- tion, It trust have Divine life if it is to fulfill its Divine call, But fot a group of people to work together effectively, some semblance of or- ganization is necessary, Happy is that minister whose members are itt reality the body of Christ, Then they will work together harmon- iously. The minister, not having to settle petty church quarrels will have more titne and energy for the study and presentation of the Word of God.
