The Seaforth News, 1948-02-19, Page 3TEEN -TOWN TOPICS ass= By BARRY MURKAR How Time flies! Seems like last week we were resting up from New Year's Eve and actually the month is half gone. Well the teen clubs around the province keep busy just the same. Snow storms or zero weather can't. stop them. This week we have the reports of Milverton and Col - bourne. You will nott. that they men- tio-i their Christmas activities. The mails held up their copy and that is why it is a little late getting in. Why Do You Like That Band? Why do you like that band? For the best letter on your favourite hand and why you like it, we will give a free, Personally Autographed Pic- ture of Vaughn Monroe. Now gang, this letter must not contain more than 75 words, and must be in our hands n't later than Jan. 30th. That gives most of you two weeks, so take your pen in hand and tell us all about your favourite band. By the way, this picture was really auto- graphed in person, by Vaughan, be- cause he used my pencil to sign it and I was standing beside him when he did it. Next month, for a letter on another entertainer you all know, ' we will have another swell auto- graphed picture. Write Barry Mur- kar, Pickering, Ont. TEEN -TOWN REPORTERS Colbourne Beverlie Wilson — ...Xmas week has been so busy. First of all I should mention that our choral group gave a free evening of entertainment in the Town Hall and sang Xmas carols and Christmas songs. ,I • must add it was a great success. The day after Xmas, we held our Keen Klub dance in the school So far our Keen Klub has kind of fallen down, but we were pleased with this dance • we had about 70 people there. We decorated the school, bought prizes etc. We sold cokes at the dance and made a 5 cent profit on every bottle. Also, since it was a special dance, we charged twenty-five cents admission andaltogether we took in twenty- five dollars which was very wonder- ful. onderful. Milverton — Eva Loney — On Christmas eve, the Keen -Teens sang Christmas carols at the homes of all the shut-ins in the town (nice going kids, B.M.) under the leader- ship of Councillor Isabel Mac Beth. Several card games were enjoyed at the home of Edith Ranney after the carol singing. A delicious lunch was served by the hostess and her assist- ants,'The holidays have been spent in redecorating the two rented rooms which we have obtained for our location, Although we didn't knew much about papering, we en- joyed it anyway. That's all, Beverlie Has a Problem Beverlie Wilson, our correspond- ent of Colbourn, writes that she has a very tough problem. Scents like Bev and her girl friend are in charge of the dances for their teen club down there. Their trouble is this: They would like any of our readers to write and give them any ideas they have for new dances. Bev says they haven't the nerve to have an- other Paul Jones, soap dance, lemon dance or broom dance.. Bev writes also that she would be glad to give any teener any idea., she has, if they will help her out. Jot down the dances you have had at your club and send them along. to Beverlie Wil- son, (-olhourne, Ont. We Let Him Get Away The male readers of this column will consider us the dope of the Year .

The 14 foundlings were discovered under a barn and n ow await adoption. when we tell them that the famous hockey man, Charlie Conacher, lives in our town and we didn't interview him. Now it's too late for this year. He has just been appointed coach of the Chicago' Black Hawks and also is being considered for the post of the "Best Coach of '47-48". How- ever, we'll get him next season, , when he gets home again. If you are a regular listener of Ozzie and Harriett and have wond- ered what has happened to them, just turn the dial to CFRB at 9.30 p.m., on Friday evenings and you wtll find them at 1847 Rogers Road.

Now is none -too -soon to ma cc plans for your home so that it will -be bright' and chipper when the warns weather finally comes. Slipcovers should be Number One on your Spring list—gay, at- tractive protection against dust and sunlight. Among the most popular slipcov-. er fabrics are chintz, cretonne, lin- en and sailcloth. Glazed chintz sheds dust and looks well on small cl airs but the unglazed chintz Is more practical since it stands up better when cleaned and doesn't muss so 'easily. Cretonne, a little heavier than chintz, is an excellent, moderately priced material for summer slip- covers. And there are other cotton mixtures that are easy to sew, such as cotton damask and brocade, homespun, poplin and cotton reps with corded weave.

Taking Youngsters To Movies Easy Way Taking children to the movies, especially in the winter can be quite a task. The adult usually has a precarious lapilli of mittens, scarfs, hats, and perhaps some small pur- chases. I have a system which eliminates this inconvenience, says D.T, in the Christian Science Monitor. 1 take a knit shopping bag with me. A knit bag is soft and will not rattle and disturb others in the theatre. It also has another advantage — it can be rolled up and kept in a hand- bag. andbag. Whenwe get in the lobby I. put all our small, loose articles in the shopping bag. Needless to say, we never leave any mittens, gloves, or other small articles in the the- atre. Might Help There had been a motor acci- dent, and the landlord of an inn had carried the motorist into his pub. When the man recovered a bit, he asked what had happened. "Well, sir, you had a very bad smash," said the landlord, "but 1 managed to bring you to." "Did you?" murmured the dam- aged one. "I don't remember. Do you mind bringing me two more?" 4 - CHRONICLES OF GINGER FARM By Gwendoline P. Clarke We have experienced our : first real snowstorm of the winter. It caused some inconvenience but com- pared with other parts- of the pro- vince it was nothing, Our new high- way is practically bare,, but as usual there is plenty of snow in farm lanes. We were listening to an ac- count of the damage done hi the Windsor' district when Partner re- marked. -- "The Government should do something about it!" "The Government? 1 quered in surprise. "Sure" Partner answered, "Most of us look to the government to solve all our prelims, why not the wea- ther? It should stop the snow—turn it to rapt, or do something about it. Anyway 1 wouldn't mind betting the time will conte when country snowploughs will be required to open. up all farm lanes along with the roads." Probably many farmers will say— "And. that wouldn't he such a had ideal" In the meantime cars are getting stuck in farm lanes and on back concessions—snow or no snow we must run our cars as usual. Everyone is up-to-date except Old Man Winter and he is just as old- fashioned as ever. Makes one won- der who is out of step -we, the peo- ple, or the Master of the Universe, * * * But 1948 has brought us more than snowstorms to think about—or shall we say a storm of a different na- ture because it looks as if we are going to be snowed under by even higher prices, And this storm will surely he a housewife's headache. There was a thought-provoking paragraph in this paper last week suggesting that we stop worrying about world affairs, attend to our own business and in that way many of our problems would solve them- selves. They were truly words of wisdom and if followed would do a lot more good than' "beefing" about the government or the Marshall plan. Take these new high prices: Two more cents a gallon on gas ... but a little thought, a bit more walking and the amount we pay out for gas woud not be one bit more than be- fore. Pork—an increase of two to ten cents a pound. That means our good old standbys — sausage and pork chops will be luxury goods. But we don't have to buy them. A fifteen cent soup bone is more nourishing and will give an average family one good meal. Lard, too, will be up. Less pie, cakes and cookies is the answer to that. Butter—we did very well on our wartime ration, why not return to it voluntarily? * * * As I see it, one reason for the high cost of food Is our over -high standard of living. I remember, as a child, my mother often gave us kids brown sugar, moistened with a little milk for desert! And we ne- NOW AVAILABLE Manufacturer To You WINDOW SHELVES Delivered Parcel Post AN IDEAL GIFT STRONG, ATTRACTIVE DIFFERENT — ALUMINUM ALLOY FRAMES, 2 GLASS SHELVES Mail Your Order Today to take advantage of this Reduced Price ver had butter AND jam.' It was always butter OR jam. On toast we invariably used beef, sausage or ba- con dripping. And, of course, for breakfast, there was always por- ridge—never any fancy cereal. Or- dinary'vegetables and fresh fruit— bananas, apples and oranges—sup- plied our vitamins, even ` though vi- tamins by name were strangers to us. What meat we had was mostly in the form of roast beef, stews or mutton. Fresh bread was never ral- lowed—it had to be at least a day old. Eggs -were boiled or poached, never fried . except as a treat when we hall bacon. It was a good, plain, simple diet. A return to it might do much towards lowering the cost of living. But how to do it? * * Our families now are used to the hest of everything on the table. What glum looks there would be if Mother suddenly said -"Oh no, you can't have butter and marmalade, and certainly you can't have hulter on your. vegetables," Yes, the housewife will surely have to economise but until families earn to co-operate it will doubtless have to be camouflaged economy. If only there were a housewives' un- ion, the members of which would say to their hushands—"Never mind striking for higher wages—we'll live a little plainer and make do with what we're geting." That would work faster than any government action. !DBE PARTY FAVORITE among coffees is Maxwell House.
