WELL WORTH THE BRICE
Taken ip. the long view, we must agree that life sets up for us no
bargain-tables, sooner or later, in coin of some sort, we pay for what
we get. True, we are given, to a degree, a choice of what we would pos
sess, but if friendship be our choice, we must be prepared to exchange some
thing for value received. Into that payment (given on a sort of lease-lend
agreement) goes trust and confidence, tolerance and good-will, cheerful
comradeship and willing service. We must realize the need of keeping
our friendships in good repair, not allowing them to rust out from disuse
or run .dry for the need of the oil of kindness. Contacts must be kept
clean and fresh -(many a promising friendship has died for lack of a
3-cent stamp). Above all, we must be willing to put into the bargain, the
very best that is in ourselves, for when all is said and done, the* possession
is well worth the price.
—The Missus
Oh, it’s just the little homely things,
The unobtrusive, friendly things,
The ‘wont-you-let-me-help-you’
things
That make our pathway light,
it’s just the jolly, joking things
‘never-mind-the-trouble’ things,
‘laugh- with-me-it’s-funny’
things,
That make’the world seem bright.
For all the countless famous things,
The wondrous ‘record-breaking’
things,
Those ‘never-can-be-equalled’ things
That all the papers cite,
Are not like little human things,
The ‘every-day-encountered’ things
The ‘just-because-I-like-you’ things
That make us happy quite.
So here’s to all the little things
The ‘done-and-then-forgotten’ things
Those ‘Oh-it’s-simply-nothing’ things
That make life worth the fight.*****

Excavations in Grecian ruins have
brought to light the fact that the
beauties of Greece used face pow
der more than 2,30'0 years ago. In
the beauty shops and harems of the
Orient, “Batikha,” a favorite face
powder, is much favored. The in
gredients of "batikha” consist of
powdered tomatoes, lemons, eggs,
beans, peas and lentils and dried
•melons. During the nineteenth cen

Mrs. H. has been having her class
knit a wool blanket from odds and
ends of wool. Since the wool is of
many different kinds and the work
done by different knitters, she is
having difficulty in making the
squares come out even in size. An
experienced knitter suggests that
the trouble may be overcome by
knitting the blocks diagonally. Be
ginning with two stitches in the cor
ner, increase one stitch at the
ginning of every row, and knit
the side of the work reaches
desired measurement. Then
crease at the end of every row to
(bring the work back to the two ori
ginal stitches. In this way the di
mensions of the square do not de
pend on the number of stitches be
ing the same in every block. We
hope that this may solve the diffi
culty for you Mrs. H.

THE NEW ALASKA HIGHWAY
readers willMany of our oldei'
remember the gold rush which drew
such multitudes of -people to the
previously unknown territory of Al
aska, Many of these mushed over
the long and terrible overland trail,
and many perished on the way. Our
own Mrs. George Black, who repre
sented the Yukon in the Dominion,
House, tells a stirring story of her
personal experience tramping this
overland route. To such veterans of
the trail of '98 the accomplishment
of the Alaska Highway must appear
little short of, a miracle. It stretch
es the whole length of western Can
ada, has been built within a year
(well ahead of schedule), and is al

EXETER, Nov. 3—While Service
Flying Training Schools are basical
ly the same, except that those that
turn out bomber pilots train with
two-engine planes and those that
produce fighter pilots use single
motored aircraft, No. 9 S.F’.T.S. near
here is different in a number of
ways from any of the others that are
scattered across Canada. No. 9 was
originally situated at Summerside,
P.E.I., and functioned there until
this summer, when it was transfer
red to its present location, where a
completely new and modern plant
was built. x
Like all other' S.F.T.S.’s the stu-
• dents come from Elementary Flying
Training Schools ip. their progress
from recruits to qualified pilots,
graduate with their wings and then
proceed to operational, stations in
Canada or overseas or are posted
as instructors at schools within the
Dominion. Two of the things that
strike the visitor after he has been
but a short time on the station are
the newness of the station as a whole
and the fact that it has a problem,
that few of the other stations en
counter—the entertainment of the
personnel during their spare hours.
Viewed as one approaches,a it has
anything but a warlike appearance.
The buildings, two-storey barracks
and one-storey administration and
other official buildings, are covered
with dove-grey asbestos fireproof
shingles and have red roofs. If there
are no aircraft flying about it looks
more like a
ment than a
warriors of
hangars and
rear rise above the other buildings
and denote the actual purpose of
the small village tliat it is, but they
do not stand out as much as on the
majority of stations.
• The buildings and equipment are
the most modern in' Canada and
there is some equipment that is
peculiar to No. 9 alone at present.
As yet the landscaping has not been
completed and there are vast ex
panses of bare sop. However, every
thing that is necessary for the ful
filling of the purpose of the school
'has been in operation since early in
August, when the first of the stu
dent personnel arrived- Command
ed by Group Captain E. G. Fuller
ton, the school was opened late in
September by Air Vice Marshal G. O.
Johnson, M.C.
Situated about thirty miles north
of London, the nearest place of any
size, it was realized from the start
that special arrangement^ would
have to be made for the personnel
during their non-training hours. The
large drill hall has been equipped
for almost every conceivable type
sports: Badminton, indoor tennis,
basketball, softball, Borden ball, ar
chery, boxing, wrestling, volleyball,
and- a form of curling is now under
consideration. Leagues in many of
these sports, both for airmen and
airwomen have been organized, and
after hours space in the drill hall
is at a premium.
The big feature of the “after-
hours” program is the recreation
hall, which is perhaps the best
equipped in the Command, and al
ready representatives of other sta
tions have paid visits to obtain
suggestions. Materially helped by a
substantial contribution from' the
County of Huron, the recreation
hall is completed and functioning
every night of the week.
The greater part of it is taken
up by the large auditorium which
is two storeys high and which pro
vides an excellent dance hall. At
one end is the stage, fully equipped,
and having six dressing rooms, two
on each side of the ground floor
and one on each side of the second
At the other end the station
Leader F. F.
has his office, as has
Jack Wadland, the Y.M.C.A. repre
sentative. Above these offices are
a writing room, a library and a

The theatre was officially opened
on Monday night of last week, while
the first station dance, one .with
Hallowe’en trimmings, was held last
Thursday evening. Under the com

ADDRESS TO MISS IRENE
DOUGLAS, OF HENSALL
The following address was read
along with a presentation. made to
Miss Irene Douglas by the teachers
and officers of the Hensail United
Church Bunday School and was in
tended for last week’s paper.
Dear Miss Douglas:
Your fellow associates in the Sun
day School of the Hensail United
Church are becoming increasingly
aware of the great loss we are to
suffer through your decision to move
away from our town,'" F'or mapy
years now yqu have been identified
with pur work and there is no tea
cher that we have more-highly es
teemed and counted on than your
self, Your educational background
and training has furnished you ade
quately for the Christian task and,
you hhvb served us well. We have
admired your conscientious attitude
toward this responsibility and re
joiced over the confidence and re
spect which your many scholars have
had for you. You have proven your
self to be a genial member of oui’
staff, always ready to cooperate in
every way not only to advance the
interests of your own class, but the
welfare of the entire school. — It
is going to be difficult for us to
adjust ourselves to your absence,
for you were faithful in attendance,
and as a fellow-worker your influ
ence has been of the highest kind.
We trust, however, that in your new
church home, you will find a simi-.
lar field of service and that your
personality and teaching will do
as much good as it has in our church
here in Hensail. These changes, un
fortunately, are necessary and un-
preventable, hut our affectionate
wishes for the future go with you to
your new home and our prayer is
that health, strength and happiness
will abundantly bless your life by
making you a blessing in your ser
vice for others. There are thoughts
and feelings that lie too deep for
words, but as a visible token of our
sincere esteem for you, and as an
expression of your- profound grati
tude for all that you have done to
make our Church strong and ef
ficient in its service for the young
people of the community, we pre
sent you with this simple gift. We
trust that its place in your home
will often bring back pleasant me
mories .of past days we have spent
together and thoughts of* friend
ship that shall never change
end.
—Teachers and Officers of
Sunday School.
