And then set sail for Canada, with loving 'heart® and brave To struggle through a forest life, then make for them a grave Our parents how we love them, and the land from which they came The love they gave to1 you mother, we’ll g-iye to you the same. We’re not at all discouraged, though our neighbors shut us out ”, For we are brave and stalwart, and we know what we’re about Their tariff walls won’t bother, though they’re strung up high, and dry For we have lots to eat and wear, and something to put by. We’re very glad that Uncle Sam, can play his game alone It always takes a heavy hand, to drive a nail straight home We hope he’,11 keep the fence® up, and shut the gates up tight And trade within his own domains, and try and keep in sight. But we must thank our Uncle, for starting us out right For to trade within the Empire, is the grandest thing in sight So mother, now get ready, to do business with your own The best thing that we know of, is spend money, right at home. Now if your needing anything, we’re in the game to- sell We’ll do a generous business, with the friend® we love so well, Just say what you are wanting, we have everything that’s good We have wlheat, and hog® and cattle, and all other kinds of food. BRITISH EMPIRE— My children, you’ll not suffer, though your’re in another land The money here is plentiful, we’ll import all we can We’ll buy from you y.our (surplus, for it always is th© best To help our children in their need, before we help th© rest. CANADA— You’re mor© than generous mother, now we want it understood We’ll buy -a lot of things from you, if you’ll exchange for food For Canada, you’re eldest son, in precidents that’s right Will set a good example, and cling to our birthright. Now mother dear we’re trusting, like our parents trusted you We know y-bu’ll not fail us, for you’re loyal, good and true Then like a happy family, in our struggles here below We bless the God that feeds us, With his manna as we go. ELLEN ROWCLIFFJE She Woke Up Every Morning With A Thickly Coated Tongue Mrs. A.

Work of the W. I. I take great pleasure in submitting a report of the activities of the Ex­ eter branch of the Women’s Insti­ tute from May 31, 19-311 to May 31, 19132, J Our membership was 45, during that time we had 10 regular meet­ ings and two special meetings. * We had an aggregate attendance of 19'5 members. The work done- under various headings was as follows-: Publicity The time and place of meeting is advertised the week previous. Reports of each meeting were pub­ lished in the weekly and daily pap­ ers. Each member is given a printed program, at the beginning of the year. Agriculture Papers were given on forcing of bulbs for wintei’ use. We were fortunate in having Mrs. Geo. Edwards of Komoka address one of our meeting on Agriculture, when she pointed out the many pro­ blems confronting the farmers1 and mentioned several side lines to add to the farm income. Mrs. Edwards’ talk was very In­ teresting and helpful. Historical Research We had roll calls on “Pioneer Food Dishes.’’ A topic taken by our town clerk on the early history of the business places of Exeter and an exhibit of pioneer cooking utensils. Home Economics Roll call “Using Odds and Ends of Food, Cloth and Soap" brought out many helpful ideas. We -had a paper on how the dif­ ferent grades of flour are made. We had a needle-craft course with an .instructress from the department which proved to be a great success at the time and out of it grew the desire and fulfilment to meet every week at the members’ homes’, where they brought their work and not only received help with problems but learned new things. Paper-craft and new quilt patterns were learn­ ed at these meetings a mutual bene­ fit society as it were. We also gained' two new members through this course. We held a House Dress Parade at One of our meetings, when the mem­ bers wore dresses of their own mak­ ing. We had judges and three prizes were awarded the ones hav­ ing the most suitable dresses. Con­ sidering style, workmanship and material. We had a demonstration on home­ made rugs. Health j A paper on Public Sanitation was given by a trained nuress in .this she described the care of the sick and1 the spread of germs and their means of destruction. Our roll call for our health meet­ ing was a “Local Health Improve­ ment,” Education One of our meetings was given to music when a paper on “The val­ ue of music in the home and school” was given >by Mr, W. R. Goulding, Instructor of Music and Supervisor of Schools. A musical competition was also held at this meeting. lwld. our story^tollins contest in February for the pupils of the public school. The contest was divided in throe groups. .Story-telling, elocution, and Oratory. 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes were given in the form of books and a treat to all taking part. The school inspector was present at this gathering and he commended the Women’s institute for sponsoring such a worthy cause and said he would Watch our activities with in­ terest. A play of local talent was spon­ sored by the Women’s institute in the -early fall, Current events were given at the meetings When tithe would permit. We seilt two. delegates to Convert- tion in London. Canadian Industries Our reeve spoke to us on ”Cana- dian industries” and Canadian goods we use. He gave us some very in­ teresting facts and figures. Relief Included generous cash donations to Byron Sanatorium 'and our own local relief committee. We provided a practical nurse for a maternity case. We had in our possession the com­ plete furnishings of a single ward, comprising bed complete, with the springs and mattress, dresser, bed­ side table, three chairs1, toilet set, bed linen and blankets, which,we donated to the Alexandra Sanatorium at Byron for which they were deep­ ly grateful. Flowers and letters of sympathy were sent to the sick and bereaved,' 'We sent an autograph quilt to Dr. Margaret .Strang, a girl from our | community who is doing missionary work in Dixonville, Alberta, Legislation A paper prepared by one of our members entitled “How we are gov­ erned, Township, County, Province and Dominion, Our roll call was naming a cabinet minister and his department. Community Activities Included the serving of a banquet to the District Meeting of the Mason­ ic Lodge held in Exeter. We held two picnics. One for the members and one for members and their husbands and friends. Both were a. success. We also held a social evening in the town hall for the members and their husbands and friends the ev­ ening was spent in cards and crok- inole and checkers. Refreshments were served and prizes awarded the winners in the games. We liejd a grandmothers’ dfciy, when we entertained the grandmo­ thers of the community.

On Remembrance Day we placed a wreath on the cenotaph in mem­ ory of the fallen heroes of the com­ munity. We served a light lunch at all meetings and a silver collection! is taken for the sick committee fund. In planning the programs we try to bring out the talent of our own 'fnembers and in that way make them feel they have a definite part in the success of the branch.

CaWI /4k A rera ■ri and ears for a time the voices be­ came a reality. However we were not .to be driven away ny someone of the same mind as ourselves after all our trouble, but our worst fears were realized when at a distance we could discern the farmer and two ihusky sons approaching. Needless to say, that Sunday School class made a hasty -retreat minus the taffy, a very dejected and disappointed class of boys. There are three of that class left, one a resident of the old stone town, at present. If his eye should see this I am sure he will remember .that day we went without our taffy and went fast. I might also say that our Sunday School lesson that day aisi I recall it was something about the way of the transgessor being hard; and not about how to make maple taffy. Truly we thought that was verified that day. In- fact had it not been for the density of the trees we. might have fared much worse at the hand® of the farmer and his sons. ■Some may look at this as a very serious offence but outside of break­ ing the Sabbath the other was not considered very bad in those days. Are times different to-day in a mor­ al sense? Are the people as earnest and sincere Christians as of half a century ago? Many say times have changed. Quite true but are they for the better? Ask some of those oldtimers, who fifty years ago would drive five or ten miles in zero weath­ er to a place of worship. Yes, timeB have changed if not morally, they have at least got people thinking the past couple of years. Economic con­ ditions to-day have probably caused some to think as they never did be­ fore. Which reminds me of a poem I recall reading in a railroad journal many years ago. It wag indelibly impressed on my mind and would fit in today or any time spiritually or materially, called, “Life’s Railway to Heaven”: Life is like a mountain railroad With an engineer that’® brave; We must make the run successful From the cradle to the grave. Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels, Never falter, never quail, Keep your hand upon the throttle And your eye upon the rail. You will r-oll up grades of trail, You will cross the bridge of strife, See that Christ is your conductor On this lightning train: of life. Always mindful of obstructions, Do your duty, never fail, Keep your hand upon the throttle And your eye upon the rail. You will often find obstructions; Look for storms of wind and rain, On a fill, or curve, or trestle They will almost ditch your train. Put your trust alone in: JeSus, Never falter, never fail; Keep your hand upon the throttle And your eye upon the rail. As you roll across the trestle -Spanning Jordan’s swelling tide, You behold the Union Depot Into which your train will guide There you’ll meet the superinten­ dents, God the Father, God the Son, With the hearty joyous plaudit, Weary pilgrim welcome home. Yours very truly S. J. ELLIOTT Exeter, May 2§, 1932. MORE WOODHAM REMINISCENCES . (iSt. Marys Journal-Argus) Just a word, re the faces of the, oldtimers appearing in the Journal from week to week known as famil­ iar Figures in Local- History,” who have passed on to their reward. How vividly do they remind us of bygone days, especially so when one has known them well personally. Two of these faces appeared recently in the Journal, the late Benj. J. Road­ house, of Kirkton and Samuel Ford, of Woodham, both pioneers of their respective villages and both very earnest and sincere Christian work­ ers in church and Sunday School' work, Mr. Ford being Superintendent of the Woodham Sunday School for o-ver a quarter century. I knew both of those men probably Mr. Ford the more intimately, as he was a next door neighbor and having started a- blacksmith and carriage works in Woodham in 1863. He was a citi­ zen of the highest integrity, always ready and willing to help promote any object for the advancement of the community. 'The same can be said of Mr. Roadhouse as any of the old-timers that are lef-t will readily testify. In fact many Of those fami­ liar figures that have passed on, if their life and history were recorded would be an inspiration to the pres­ ent generation as well as those of the future. For instance, Mr. Ford. I never knew him to fail attending church o>r Sunday School when at all able to and as he was also a teacher of a boys’ class and your scribe being one of those boys, I have great reason to remember how sincerely he tried to impress on us the importance of scriptural teachings and if we failed to live it, the fault was not his. And I am sure we did fail, at least I re­ call one Sunday his class soon forgot his teaching for immediately after i Sunday School a part of the class hastened to a sugar bush upon hear­ ing the owner would be absent, hav­ ing decided it would be a good time to have some maple taffy. Soon a roaring fire was under the big kettle filled with sap and all were prepar­ ing their wooden spoons for the fih1- al finish When about to sample the product Of our activities there ap­ peared to some of us that Voices could be heard -through the dense woods.
