The Need1ePoint
(MRS. NORMA SII BERT, B.A. Woman's Jt age Editor)
The Challenge of To -morrow
--- Theme for W.I. Conference.
Dr. J. D. MacLachion, president
of OAC welcomed over 900 dist-
rict directors, representing as
many branches throughout Ont-
ario, to the Women's Institute
Conference in Guelph. He pointed
out the need for farmers to -day,
of keeping abreast of the tines.
"No other industry is changing
as rapidly as is agriculture and
in order to compete successfully
it is necessary that the farmer
avails himself to all scientific
development possible." He men-
tioned the need for more trained
agriculturalists --- three times the
number of students at OAC could
be placed to fill the demand.
Miss Helen McKercher, director
of Home Economics services, eom-
mented on the need to pool our
wisdom and ideas. This was the
purpose of the local leader train-
ing schools. Starting last fall she
reported that over 7,000 women
took instructions in the training
courses offered by the Home Ec-
onomics Department. Miss Mc-
Kercher said, "In our transfer
from the past through the pres-
ent to the future, not only in the
Institute but in educational and
social customs, one of the hardest
things we have to do is to save
the best of the old and bind it
into the best of the new."
Mrs. Haggerty, provincial presi-
dent, emphasized that "world
peace is everyone's responsibilty."
The first step of world peace is
to live peaceably with our famil-
ies, friends and communities. One
of the main detriments to world
peace is insecurity. As long as
their is poverty and insecurity,
these people are in danger of
falling prey to one of the isms".
Women can best promote world
peace by supporting such projects
as the W.I. contributions of lay-
ettes to Arab refugees, sweaters
to Korea and relief to the flood
victims in Ceylon.
A progress report on work for
retarded children was given by
Mrs. Douglas Hart, Woods+ock,
a member of the board of the
Strothers Foundation. Several
counties have inaugurated the
travelling remedial teacher. These
are doing excellent work but
there is a great lack of trained
teachers. The Strothers Found-
ation is offering research schol-
arships, bursaries and grants-in-
aid to interest students to study
this form of teaching.
Other topics discussed were the
high infant mortality in Canada,
ar. evaluation of TV and radio,
and safety on the farm.
The Hon. W. A. Goodfellow,
minister of agriculture stated
that, "We are living in challeng-
ing times and agriculture is go-
ing to hold its place as the basic
industry of Canada. Agriculture
in the future will have no place
for the inefficient farmer."
Mr. Goodfellow paid tribute to
the women. "They should make
their voices sound louder when
wanting the government to give
them the things they need for a

The Happy Man
The happiest man is the com-
mon everyday chap who makes
his own living, pays his bills, has
a little money as he goes along
but doesn't strive to get a corner
on the local output, and is a slave
to neither ambition nor society.
He loves his God and his fellow-
man, knows "there's no place like
home, believes in 'live and let
live", and when he encounters
the needy, he doesn't stutter with
his pocket book, He is happy to
be satisfied and does not spend
the best years of his life yearning
for things four sizes too large for
him.

My Child and Yours
When my child hits your child
He has not yet adjusted;
But when your child hits my child,
He simply can't be trusted.
My child's temper tantrums
Prove oily that he's bored;
But your child's violent outbursts
simply can't be ignored.
When my child breaks your child's
toys,
They weren't built for normal use;
But when your child breaks my
child's toys,
There's no sense in such abuse.
My child is such a little dear
That surely you can see,
If your child were mine to rear,
How different he would be.
SUGAR and SPICE
(By W. (Bill) B. T. Smiley)
My wife has been picking on me
lately because I read so many war
books. She claims that every time
she goes into the bathroom, there's
a new, vicious -looking, bayonet -
welding marine or soldier lunging
at her from the cover of a pocket
book on the back of the tato.
* *
I've been kind of sheepish about
it, but I do enjoy a good war nav-
el, so I've taken to slipping them
under the bath -tub when not in
use. But the kids, who like noth-
ing better than to see me get a
rocket from their mother, are
starting to squeal an me. Kim
came down stairs yesterday, bear-
ing a new battle book with a par-
ticularly grisly cover, and with a
look of delighted anticipation suc-
cinctly tattled: "Another war
book, Mum."
* * *
"Why in the world," my wife
wants to know, "do men find war
so fascinating? You're always
spoiling parties by getting off in
a corner and talking about the
silly war. Don't you realize it's
been over 12 years, and you're no
longer dashing young heroes. I
think it's ridiculous." And so on.
* * * '
As you can imagine, I have
some pretty tart retorts oh the
tip of my tongue. But I wisely
refrain from uttering them an-
nounce that I have to go down and
fix the furnace, and, in the safety
of the cellar, give vent to the
things I'nn too gentlemanly to say
to a lady, unless she's got both.
arms tied behind her.
* * *
Such as: "I like reading about
war because it's just the opposite
of marriage. War is made up of
long periods of camparative peace,
interspersed by short spells of vio-
lent fighting. Marriage is . . ."
Or: "I'd rather be addicted to war
novels than the slop women read—
sexy historical novels, murder
mysteries, goony love stories and
the pure unadulterated garbage
better way of life." He spoke I of the movie magazine." Remem-,
briefly on farm safety and said { ber I'm still down cellar.
* * *
Maybe it's true that men talk
too. much about the war, when
they get together. But few men
are able to cook, make their own
clothes, or have babies, subjects
that engross any gaggle of women.
Nor are men much interested in
talking about men, the only other
subject on which women can go
en interminably.

a province wide survey will be
carried on in the near future to
fund out the causes of accidents
on the farms and in the houses.
Accidents to the farmers are pre-
senting a big problem and ways
must be found to make the farm-
ers and his fancily more safety
conscious.

"Is she Hungary?" the first
man asked.
"Alaska," said the second.
"Ye Siani," she replied.
"All right, I'll Fiji," the first
Irian offered.
"Oh, don't Russia," the other
admonished.
"What if she Wales?" the first

"Give her a Canada Chile," the

"I'd rather have Turkey," she
said, "except that I can't have

Cancer may occur in almost any
part of the body. The most effect-
ive means of controlling the dis-
ease is to educate individuals so
that they may apply for treatment
early,
their mature years, when they are
trying to raise a family and make
ends meet without going mad,
mad I tell you, mad.
* * *
There's an old, and completely
nonsensical tradition, that men
who've come back from the wars
don't want to talk about it. When
someone asks them what it was
like, they're supposed to go all
thin-lipped and grim, and change
the subject. I remember how dis-
gusted I was with this business
when I came home from overseas.
Someone would ask: "How was it
over there, anyway?" I'd settle
back, prepared to tell him, for
hours, when he'd add: "But I
guess you don't want to talk about
it," leaving me there with my
mouth hanging open. I was dying
to talk about it.
* * *
Men have been talking about
war ever since Og the caveman
and his cronies sat around the fire
and discussed with grunts of re-
lish the late unpleasantness with
the tribe across the swamp. And
women have disapproved since
Mrs. Og sat back in the corner of
the cave wishing he'd stop invit-
ing that riffraff around to drink
homebrew and tell lies about what
they did in the war.
* * *
Men have been writing and read-
ing about war since they learned
to write and read. From Homer to
Heminway writers have looked
with horror and fascination on the
ever -intriguing business of the
human race wading in blood,
Shakespeare accepted war as part
of life. And if I recall, there was
a good bit of smiting of Hittites,
Philistines and others in the Bible.
* * *
So if I'm to have a book in the
bathroom, far better it be a tale
of blood and nobility, of grandeur
and courage, with a grim -faced
grenade -thrower on the cover, than
a turid volume that promises UN-
BRIDLED PASSION and features
on its front a semi -draped tamale
engaged in pulling a dripping
knife out of her grandmother or
somebody.
For $2.50 your son can buy
an amusing novelty to hang in-
side his wind screen. It will
be ;guaranteed to reduce visibility,
and distract ,attention from the
road. For the same sum he can
buy a copy of "Sportsmanlike
Drivting" the interesting textbook
used in nearly all high schools
•giving courses in Driving Educat-
ion. If he reads. it carefully it
will be guaranteed to materially
increase his hope of keeping out
of accidents. It seems a much
beater investment than a bounc-
ing geegaw, comments the Ont-
nrio Safety League.
