TEEN -TOWN REPORTERS Colbourne Beverlie Wilson — Xmas week has been so busy. First of all'1 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 and altogether we took in twenty - live dollars which was very wonder- ful. 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.tif. Councillor Isabel Mac Beth. Several card dames 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. AIthough we didn't knnw much about papering, we en- joyed it anyway. That's all. • Beverlie Has a Problem Beverlie Wilson, our correspond- ent of Colbourne, writes that she has a very tough problem. Seems 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 an0 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, Colhourne, Ont We Let Him Get Away The male readers of this column will . consider us the dope of the Year . And Thereby Hang a Dozen Tails—Pinky t he cat isn't trying to get in the act. He just wants to sample that saucer of milk. despite the chorus of yelps from the two pups in the box and the 12 newly -washed ones drying on the line. The 14 foundlings were discovered under a barn and n ow await adoption. when we tell them that the fatuous 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 will find them at 1847 Rogers Road. A Last Reminder Be sure and enter our letter contest. Processing and not the time of picking, determine's whether tea is green or black.

Now is none -too -soon to make plans for your home so that it will be bright and chipper when the warm 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 snore practical since it stands up better when cleaned and doesn't mass 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, especialiv in the winter can be quite a task. The adult usually has a precarious lapful 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. I take a knit shopping bag with nie. 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. When we get in the lobby 1 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 - 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 fait, 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 Gwendoiine 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 in the Windsor district when Partner re- marked — "The Government should do something about it!" "The Government?" 1 tittered in surprise: "Sure," Partner answered, "Most 01 us Tools to the government to solve all our probems, why not the wea- ther? It should stop the snow—turn it to rain, or do something about it. Anyway l wouldn't mind betting the time will come when country snowploughs will he required to open up all farm lanes along with the roads." Probably many farmers will say— "And that wouldn't be such a bad idea 1" 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 shout—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. Anti this storm will surely be 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 wood 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 feason 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- 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 al- lowed—it had to be at least a day old. Eggs were .boiled or poached, never fried . except as a treat when we had 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? a * * Our families 'now are used to the best 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 butter 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. 1f only there were a housewives' un- ion, the members of which would say to their husbands—"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. ELIE, PARTY FA.VORI[ among coffees is Maxwell House.
