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 Thursday, May 15 8.00 p.m. — Ascension Day Ser- vice. 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. WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1858 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. Sunday Services 10.00 a.m.—Worship Service. 11.15 a.m.—Bible Class and Sun- day School (all ages). "Come let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker." —Ps. 95: 6. 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 man demanded. "Give her a Canada Chile," the other suggested. "I'd rather have Turkey," she said, "except that I can't have Greece." When the waiter brought the cheque, the one man told the oth- er, "1 say, look and see how much Egypt you?" 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.
