KNOW YOURSELF
* The only course is to try to
* reconcile yourself to the truth.
* You cannot marry the man you
* love unless you got free, and
. * unless his wife were persuaded to
* divorce hila.
* An affair with hint would be
* unsatisfactory, even if you could
justify it, and I do not believe
* a woman like you ever could do
* that. It could not provide the
* children you want, for neither ,
* you nor he is the sort to bring
* illegitimate children into the
* world.
* You are at an impasse.
• Admit it—and pray for strength
* to accept what must be.
s' Here is where your faith can
* help. If you believe in yourself,
* courage will come. Faith is
* strengthened by practice.
* If you have wandered from
* your church, go back, Study its
* teachings as though you had nev-
e` er learned them before; seek out
* their true meaning, and' their
* application to your•situation, ,Oc-
* cupy yourself with some active
* church work, if only to lose
* yourself for the time; after a
* while, you will carry on for the
* work's sake. As you do, you will
* find peace.
* If you are considering leaving
* this husband who denies you
* children, I hope you will think
* long before you do. Remember
* that living alone might present
* new problems that could try your
* courage even: more.

If you must bear a problem you
connot solve, accept it—with the
faith that you can win out .

He Suicided, But
Saved Return Fares
One of the strangest examples of
thrift on record is reported from
a French village, where a seventy-
six -year-old peasant committed sui-
cide. Everybody was puzzled at
first because all the old peasant's
married children: had travelled to
the village the day before his sui-
cide to attend a family reunion at
his request.
The mystery was solved when
a note, which had been found be-
side the peasant's body, was read
at the inquest. It explained that
he had expected to die naturally
quite soon so he had decided to
commit suicide while his children
were at home together. "This will
save the extra fares they would
have had -to pay to attend niy
funeral."
"Whoa Happen?" --Whatever is happening off to the left seems
to have sparked startled stares from crooner Frank Sinatra and
his girl friend, Ave Gardner. Frankie is appearing at a Las Vegas,
night club while arranging for a quickie divorce from his wife
Nancy, that will free him to marry Ava.
Prowed Beauty—Screen actress Virginia Mayo who has taken
numerous gracious bows for acting performances gives beauty to
another type of bow as she poses for a figurehead being made
for installation on the prow of a schooner being built in Norway
where the custom of decorating the,bows of ships with a feminine
figure is being revived. Noted sculptor Yucca Salamunich who is
designing the figurehead—some figure—was asked by the ship
builder to select the most beautiful woman in Hollywood as the
model, and promptly showed excellent taste in choosing V. Mayo.

Remember last week 1 promised
to tell more about a wonderful in-
vitation that had come my way—
entirely unexpected. Well, here is
what it was ... a phone call from
the Women's Division at the C.N.E.
inviting me to a press conference
at Mrs. Kate Aitkin's home to meet
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt] Do you
wonder I was howled over? Now
I want to share that happy exper-
ience with you—although 1 am
still at a loss to understand why I
was amongst the fortunate fifty to
whom this priceless invitation was
extended.
Most of the Press visitors had ar-
rived at Mrs. Aitken's home . by
10:30. Some where in the house,
others in the garden, awaiting the
arrival, from Molten, of Mrs.
Roosevelt and our hostess, Mrs.
Aitken. Soon after eleven the word
was passed around—"She is here!"
Immediately there followed a quiet
air of expectancy; a repressed feel-
ing of excitement which prevailed
until we heard the announcement—
"Mrs. Roosevelt is ready to receive
y otr."
Quietly we entered the living -
room of Mrs. Aitken's lovely home.
Mrs. Roosevelt met us with a
friendly, gracious and welcoming
smile. I, at least, had a curious
feeling that it was not a stranger
I was meeting but a friend whom
I had known but had not met for
a long time. The air was charged
with the intensity of feeling among
those present. No one spoke. Pre-
sently Mrs. Aitken reminded us
that Mrs. Roosevelt was there to
answer any questions we cared to
ask. Even then, for a few pre-
cious moments, no ane asked any-
thing at all. It was as if we were
afraid of breaking a spell—each of
us trying to absorb and interpret
some of the distinctive charm, cour-
age and enthusiasm emanating from
the woman before us, And believe
me, Mrs. Roosevelt is charming.
From her many press photographs
you might imagine her as some-
what plain. That, too, is tinder-
staudable because no photographer
in this world could possibly capture
the qualities which contribute to
the personality that is Eleanor
Roosevelt.
She was dressed very simply, in
a plain black dress, with bolero to
match. A, small, close -fitting, bright
red hat rested comfortably on her
iron -grey hair.
Then came the questions—but
only a few, as all the time we had
for our conference was one brief,
half-hour. The conference was very
informal, Most of us were stand-
ing until Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs.
Aitken both suggested we might
be more comfortable sitting ar-
ound on the floor) Immediately
some of the younger ones did just
that. In answering questions Mrs.
Roosevelt spoke at first in an easy
conversational tone—until she came,
to the sessional tangles of the
United Nations, Then she really
hit her stride. Her voice was mag-
netic, forceful --although still gen-
tle in tone, Her amazing blue eyes
flashed, and her expressive hands
lent emphasis to whatever point
she was trying to get across at .the •
moment,
One question and answer was
particularly to my liking. Some*
one asked how people in small
communities could further the work
of the United Nations. Mrs, Roose-
velt replied --"The housewife who

peace are limited should use her
influence to make her own com-
munity better. It is our first re-
sponsibility to make our own corn=
munity the best possible place to
live so that its influence will spread
into the world."
Personally, I had not previously
had too much faith in what the
United Nations is likely to accom-
plish but as I listened to Mrs.
.Roosevelt I became more optomis-
tic. If an aging and untiring wo-
man has so much faith in the U.N.
that she is ready to devote the rest
of her life to further its cause, then
surely we cannot go far wrong in
following where she leads, each, in
our own small way, working for
the peace and security of all nations.
And here is a little human touch
that illustrates our democratic prin-
ciples. As Mrs. Roosevelt and her
party were leaving for the Exhi-
bition, members of the press were
in the garden enjoying a eup of
coffee. "My, but I wish I could
catch a glimpse of her!" was the
involuntary exclamation of Mrs.
Aitken's maid who was looking
after the refreshments. It was
overheard by one of the guests—a
neighbour of Mrs, Aitken's. "Why
or course you must see her. Run
along now and I'll look after the
coffee!"
At the Women's Luncheon Mrs,
Roosevelt shook hands with over
400 guests. She must have been
very tired but she did not show it.
Her poise is sotiiething to envy,
When speaking to the assembled
guests 'she stood unflinching as
photographer's flashed in her face
every few minutes, The spontan•
eons ovation which greeted her was
tremendous, and, as a token to
commemorate her visit to the Can-
adian National Exhibition Mrs,
Roosevelt was presented with a
Maple Leaf pin and a corsage of
blue and white flowers.
A ripple of laughter spread atm•
ong the guests as Mrs. Aitken
spotted Gordon Sinclair during
lunch. She immediately called him
to the front to meet Mrs, Boose•
vett. "And for this, Mr. Sinclair,
don't you ever again dare to speak
of me as "the Pollyanna of the air-
wavesi" For once, Sinclair appar•
ditty had no come -back. Never-
theless, he made good use of his
opportunity by asking Mrs. Roose-
velt to come on his programme
for a few minutes—for -which a
hook-up had been hurriedly set up
on the balcony,
Before the guests dispersed, the
Chief Chef, who has been respon-
sible for balcony luncheons for
years, came along, complete with
his chef's tall white hat and asked
Mrs. Roosevelt for her autograph
on his menu card.
After the luncheon hundreds of
people stood waiting in the Wom-
en's Building for a glimpse of Mrs.
Roosevelt as she came down the
balcony stairs. As for the Band
Shell audience—the crowds extend-
ed away hack to the Flower Show
and far across the green. And
everywhere there was that same
hushed air of expectancy.
After Mrs. Roosevelt's final ad-
dress it was Mrs. Kate Aitken's
privilege to extend the thanks of
the directors of the CNE to their
gracious and distinguished guest
for coning to visit then. Along
with other fitting remarks Mrs. Ait-
ken also said this: "We know Mrs.
Roosevelt must be a remarkable
woman because she had no trouble
at all in winning the approval of
Queen Mary. And, believe me, any-
one who is approved by the Queen
Mother MUST be all right!" I
liked that . just a few words,
even though lightly spoken, were
yet sufficiently strong by implica-
tion, to link together representa-
tives of two great democratic
countries—the Old and the New
the British Empire and the
United States of America.
And so ended a great day — a
day long to be remembered by those
who saw and heard Eleanor Roose-
velt. We owe her a debt of grati-
tude for visiting our Canadian Na-
tional Exhibition, and to the Board
of Directors for inviting her. But
I also think a good deal of credit
should go to Mrs. Aitken for her
share in bringing a well-known and
well -loved personality, such as Mrs.
Roosevelt, to a typically and re-
ceptive Canadian audience.
What People Grab
As Souvenirs
The souvenir business is booming
in the United States, Forty-five
thousand people have applied to buy
bits and pieces of the White House,
the President's home, which is now
being restored.
Prices of the bits range from 25
cents to about $150.00 and if every
application was graned there would
be no White House left.
Recently one souvenir hunter
who had a passion for collecting
door knockers was arrested. In the
basement of his house he had seven
hundred and sixty door knockers in
different shapes and size. They had
been collected from twenty-two
different towns.
"I've been helping myself to a
little souvenir in the form of a
lnnocker from every town I've
visited," the man admitted in court.
"They help me to remember what
happened."
Spoons are the most popular
trophies for the souvenir enthusiast.
Trans -Atlantic liners lose an
average of two hundred spoons per
trip, and often more bulky objects
like cruets and vases are missed
from the dining -rooms.
The Sultan of Johore had to
cease using his gold plate at State
banquets a because use so many gold
spoons and other pieces of cutlery
were taken away by his guests.
The breaking point was reached,
however, when one of the souvenir -
hunters made off with a silver hair-
brush with the Sultan's crest on it.
The Sultan thereupon announced
that unless the brush was returned
he would have to stop inviting
Europeans to his State banquets.
Americans are said to be the
leading exponents of the art of
souvenir -hunting.
Because of their genius in this
respect certain Parisian hotels cat-
ering for tourists now reftse to
lay fish knives on the table.
But they still lose a staggering
quantity of ashtrays, tumblers,
towels, plates, and other odds -and -
ends.
Souvenir -selling at seaside resorts
is no lodger the profitable business
it used to be. Not long ago there
was a big demand for ashtrays,
brooches, spoons, and cruets with
such words as "A present from
Mudville" embossed on tlietn.
They can still be seen in the
shops to -day, but few holiday-mak-
ers buy them.
"If they -buy anything," one
shopkeeper said, "it's usually cloth-
ing — scarves, hats, pullovers, ties.
Nobody can afford souvenirs these
days."
Here's the easy, proved way to combat asthma's
distressing symptoms. The aromatic fumes of

Enlarging the Christian Fellowship
Romans 15:14-29
Memory Selection: I am not
ashamed of the gospel of Christi
for it is the power of God unto
salvation to everyone that be-
lieved:. Ro. 1:16a.
Christianity is in truth a world
religion. Isaiah in his prophet
foresaw concerning the Messiah
that "The Gentiles shall come to
thy light, and kings to the bright-
ness of thy rising.' 'Jesus before his
ascension said to his disciples, "Ye
shall be witness unti me both its
Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in
Samaria, and unto the uttermost
part of the earth." Paul was the
foremost of those in the early
church to demonstrate that the
Gospel was for all nations. He
told the Good News through Asia
Minor and Greece and declares his
intention to bring it to Rome, the
heart of the empire, and thence to
Spain, He did not shrink from pre-
senting the simple story of salve,.
tion through Jesus Christ in nighty
Rome. He said, "I am not ashamed
of the gospel of Christ, for it is
the power of God unto salvation.
to everyone that believeth." Here
was power—not the power of
marching armies—but the power
of God. It was not a power to des-
troy men but to save them. More-
over the power is available to ail
on the simple condition of faith,.
No wonder Paul was aflame with
zeal to tell it everywhere. He was
intolerant of other religions. Not
that he would prevent people from
worshipping as they pleased., but
he was persuaded that Christianity
was by far superior to all other
beliefs. There could be no cont. -
promise. This gospel was God's
message to man, Paul was willing
to give his life that others might
hear it. Those who know the heart -
changing power of this salvation
feel that way about it, too. We
must tell it.
The western world must symbo-
lize hope and succour to the mil-
lions who suffer from appalling
poverty throughout Asia and Africa.

Union itself.
