Each chairman has six municipali ties. The results up to Saturday night were: A com- pie- Prophet? Many ancient Parables Fables, some of them written eral thousand years ago are timely for present day consideration. ’ For example, the Fable of the. Eagle and the Crow might have” been written in 1'941 with Hitler in mind; Aesop tells us of an Eagle which made a Scoop at a Lamb; truss’d it, and took it cleverly away with her. A Mimical Crow, that saw this exploit, would needs try the same experiment Upon a Ram; but his claws were so shackled in the fleece with lugging to get him up. that the shepherd came in and caught him, before he coujd clear himself. Tho farmex* clipped his wings and car ried him home to his children to play with. They came gaping, about him, and asked their father What strange bird that was? “Why,” says he, “he’ll tell you himself that he’s an Eagle; but if you’ll. take for it, I know him to he and sev- my word a Crow?’ I The. newspapers have recently car ried so many Stories of famous people who are seeking divorce on gfbunds of Incompatibility, that we are reminded Of the bhsband who Was arraigned in court .in a suit brought by his wife for .cruelty. “I understand, sir,” said the jiidge, addressing tho husband, that one of the indignities jroh 'have' showered upon yoxir wife is that, you have not spqjtei}. .to. her 'fox? three yfears..

One of these dogs which had made an enviable record in France vis ited a country' dog. They were strolling through the woods one day when the police dog spied a skunk. The country dog warned him to leave it alone but his warn ing was of no avail and he pursued Jt,. ..while the country returned to. the farm house.

Cross work rooms on Friday, June 13th,. showing there is co slackening op the part of the work- ex's of the Exeter Branch. The following is a list of the articles received: Socks, 296; -scarves, 49; helmets, 63; V-neck sweaters, 46; mitts and boots, 20; turtle-neck five 'Caps, boys’ shorts, 14; shirts, 14; blazers, 12; boys’ pyjamas, 38; sweaters, 15; girls’ blouses, 4; large quilts, 84; crib quilts, IO-; afghans, 2, lay ette articles, 111. . Othex* articles of refugee clothing, 78, The following article, by I. R, McK, was taken from the Globe & Mail and explains the knitting situa- tion; When we dropped in to the wool department of the Red Cross at 50 Bloor Street East the othex’ morn ing, we found the volunteer band of workers cheerfully and busily carrying on. We asked if there was anything we could do to help through our column, and were glad to he told that there was. Mrs, H. G. Wookey, convenei’, said: “We can never get too much for oux’ seamen. We need just now the following ar ticles: Turtle-neck sweaters, large scarfs (14 inches wide by 66 inches long), helmets, mitts or gloves, sea man’s stockings, or sea-boot stock ings (the latter are made of a spe cial grey yarn which sheds water, and is not used for any other pur pose. The Red Cross always has a supply in stock.) “We are asked to supply every month 1,000 pairs of seaman’s stockings, 1,000 scarfs and 1,4)00 turtle-neck sweaters. T.he ar ticles are given wherever they are most needed at the time—the Royal Canadian Navy, the Royal British Navy, the Merchant Marine-—any where, indeed, where a sailox’ ffe- quires a warm garment.” The Turtle-Neck Sweater: We noticed a worker ripping out the neck of a very beautiful blue sweat er, and she must have seen the question in our face fol* she said: “So many, so very, very many of these have to be ripped and refin ished, because when the knitters 'Cast off the stitches at the top they do so very tightly that man could not possibly get his head into one.” Mrs. • Wookey suggested that when taking up the stitches for the neck the knittei’ take up every stitch she can, and cast off very loosely. The neck of the turtle-neck sweatei’ •must have a stretch of at least— at,least mark you—12 inches; other wise it is useless and what a pity it would be to spoil so much, other wise, beautiful .work. Socles: There has been in some ■quarters, a little misunderstanding about socks. The situation is this: . Since knitters have persistently taken out wool fdr various purposes, and regardless of instructions, have made seeks—when just n-ow the ar ticles for seamen are much more needed—it has been thought neces sary for the Toronto branch to re duce to a .minimum the making of socks until theii’ quota of other cbm- forts has’been reached, and their budget of wool is again in balance. Of course, “gifts” of socks ai’e al ways acceptable. As soon as socks are as urgently needed as are the othex* articles mentioned, the Red Cross will be glad to let the public know. We are sure the workers will be eager to co-operate with the Red Cross in this general effort to sup ply the necessary garments and comforts so vital just now to the people .of Britain and while it is not so pleasant knitting these heavier, coarser garments, if we can just keep in mind the gallant men fox’ • whom they are intended, who face every day for ns, death and disaster on the grim highways of the seas, we shall do the work cheerfully and with grateful hearts. gloves, 85; seamen's seamen’s stockings, 8; sweaters, 20; alterna- 11; .wash cloths, 37; DOBBS—HELMER A quiet but pretty wedding, took place in the Baptist church par sonage, Simcoe, on Saturday, June 14th, when the Rev.
