She used a plaid pattern with truly striking results. She assured me at was not difficult to apply, using ordinary wall -paper paste to hold it in place. The initial cost compares fav- ourably with the cost of two coats of good paint, but you will find it more attractive and much easier to keep clean. A less expensive treatment is the use of the ordinary thin plastic material available in 54" and 36" width. If ane wipes the shelf first, the material will adhere closely. Then when it is. in its proper place, one can glue the edge down with mucilege. It giv- es the appearance of a painted surface and is very easily wiped off. You will find linoleum, care- fully cut to fit the inside of the drawer, is ideal for drawers con- taining cutlery and small sharp kitchen tools. It withstands a great deal of wear and is easily cleaned. When Launclrying: sometimes it is difficult to locate stubborn stains once a garment is wet. Avoid the headache of a re -wash by running a quick basting stitch around each area needing that extra rub, before beginning the washing operation. A safety pin, may serve equally well as a marker, careful to re- move it as soon as the garment is washed.

Most of us are filled with a lively curiosity concerning these countries we read about but will never see. There is so little in- formation available about the Any if you who read the re- cent article in the MacLean's ;magazine, "How Mental Illness is Attacking our Immigrants," must have felt the apprehension and, regret that I felt. These feelings 'were accompanied by a feeling of helplessness. I am certain that most Canadians are like myself. We feel this immigration is good; that most of these immi- grants have much to offer their new country. We really have no feeling of superiority that appar- ently we seem to convey. We are much like the immigrants themselves, each wanting to get acquainted with the other's coun- try and customs, but not quite knowing how to go about it. Since reading this article I have been asked to be editor of the Woman's Page in our new "Citizens News." It suddenly oc- curred to me, could not this page provide that medium of con- tact, be used somehow to draw us closer together as "sisters under the skin?" With this idea in view, I am asking the New Can- adians to contribute to this col- umn. This idea might lend it- self to the pen of some young student, who could render a great service to his parents and his ad- opted community by translating their feelings for them. Or, I would be glad to interview any- one who finds it hard to express themselves in their new tongue wild life, the trees or flowers one might find there. What an opportunity is here for you, New Canadians, to bring our countries to a closer undertsand- ing by giving us first hand infor- mation about your country and its customs. Perhaps we might even rouse an interest in establishing pen palsin the two countries if you wished. The following theme might be suggested for topics which would interest the readers. "Why I feel Canada has more to offer my children than the country I left behind," "What customs I find it hardest to understand:'' "Why I feel lonely here and wish I might return home." . "How you, Cana - diens, could make our period of .transition easier." I am sure the cooking section would appreciate a recipe for the real Italion Spaghetti we hear so much about, I personally, would like the recipe far "skyr," which I believe is popular in Iceland and Holland.

A small chalk mark will be left where the second half of the fastener should Now is, the Time to do some of those little extra jobs you could not find time for during the busy Christmers season.

GIBBS BODY SHOP ZUR1C1C1 BODY WORK and RE -FINISHING Located at Rear of Pearson Motors Gerald Gingerich, better known as "Jerry", is the owner of this large firm. It is now one of the largest of its kind in the area. The firm specializes in elec- trical work, commercial and domestic lighting, heating plumbing, electrical repairing, motor rewinding, refrigeration, air conditionang, prapane gas, electric and gas appliances. Jerry .was born and raised three miles south. of Zurich, son of Mr, andeVlrs. Jacob Gingerich. Being raised on a farm, Jerry is very close to the farm trade. Born an electrician and gradua- ting with a degree of exper- ience all has helped to build a sound background for the suc- cess of the business. Playing around with electro magnetic coils and batteries made from blue vitrol, copper and zincin early life, helped to give him a sound basic elec- trical knowledge; building olee- tric fencers, rewinding genera- tors for wind chargers and making electric welders, help- edto keep his life active,in this field; building his own garden tractor, heating, van, boat and now destining his own modern buildings, helped to keep his handyman experience up to date. All these things from the age of nine until now, are "stepping stones of success to the degree he now holds, He also worked for the late Mr. Harry Hess, for over ten years, from whom he purchased the business in 1954. During this time he gained experience and knowledge which could nev- er be bought with money. During those years he also worked on the Telephone . and Zutieh Hydro, Zurich Water System, Electrical repairing, motor rewinding, plumbing, and heating giving him a wide spread knowledge in all lines of work. Jerry has been checking the Zurich Water System three times ,a week for over 12 years. for Mr. Hess. He claims all these things contribute to the knowledge and success of the f irm. "Service is not our motto; It's our business." Jerry be- lieves in this philosophy and has built his business around it. This type of service has helped to expand the business by leaps and bounds. In his own words Jerry says, "I will endeavor at all times, to do the best of my ability, to give the best public service that any man could possibly give." The firm operated in the Hess block far three and a half .year prior to moving to the new building in August of 1957. The firm is interested in the growth of the town and is definitely behind any new industry or business that might want to move into the town:
