The Wingham Advance-Times, 1951-12-05, Page 10on Sunday morning, He took his text
from 1 Corinthians 4-10. "We are fools
for Christ's Sake." He mentioned
Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Gid-
eon, Jonah, Paul and Jesus. These
men were ciriticized and laughed at
but they saw God's promises fulfilled
and received God's blessing. Mrs. Geo.
Nicholson sang a solo, "Jesus I am
Resting in the Joy of what Thou Art."

Something important
you should know about your husband
You know him better than anyone else in the world,
You know his bad points as well as his good ones.
But tionnoeocfe.his best points may have escaped
your
You know that he doesn't do many of the
things he'd like to do with his money — because
the family income will only go so far. And you
know that he might reasonably spend money
freelynow—without a thought for your future.
But he doesn't.
Regularly, he puts aside money to give
you the protection of life insurance. True,
he may gain benefit from that insurance during
his own life, but that isn't why he owns it.
The real reason can be found in his concern
for your welfare,
Do you co-operate with his efforts to
provide for you in this important way?
Are you encouraging his habit of thrift?
Right now, it's more important than ever
to save money. For every dollar put aside
for the future helps to check inflation , ,
helps to protect the value of all your money,
So check over your budget, See what
new savings you can make I

WINGHAM ONTARIO
First came the long and arduous
training which united those who pass-
ed the searching tests in a close cam-
araderie. Then, clad In fantastic rub-
ber suits, some crawled on the muddy
bottoms of harbours looking for min-
es, some bestride torpedoes, others
slipped through the earliness in mid-
get submarines, Lockgates were
blown, patriots were spirited away,
the only clue an occasional bubble
on the surface of the water. The
Frogmen operated in a new world, a
world of mystery and unseen dangers,
the weird underwater world.
The Frogmen is a magnificent tri-
bute to the almost fantastic courage
and skill of officers and men of the
Royal Navy and to our scientists. But
"courage knows no international fron-
tiers,' and the authors have paid full
tribute to the gallantry of Italians
and Germans, in a great and moving
book.
James Gleeson and Tom Waldron
are life-long friends whose families
knew each other well, They were
both educated at St. Ignatius Jesuit
College, London ,although at different
times, Later they became associated
together as newspaper men in Fleet
Street. The association continues at
present in the B,B.C, with Gleeson
writing and Waldron producing. One
of the radio features which was a
joint effort on their part was "The
Frogmen" out of which was born
the idea of writing this book,
GENTLEWOMAN IN UPPER
CANADA—
The Journals of Anne Langton edited ,
by E. H. Langton
"Once more I have folded my large
sheet to complete my series of journ-
als. September opens with a busy
household day." Thus Anne Langton,
in 1840, beginning another of her
journals to her brother William, From
the day in May, 1837, that the Lang-
ton family embarked on the packet
ship Independence, for Sturgeon Lake
in Upper Canada, letters and journals
flowed steadily back to England, With
the death of her father the year
after their arrival, and the increasing
preoccupation of her brothr, John„ in
clearing his land and helping to build
a community, the task of keeping the
monthly journal devolved upon
Anne,
We can imagine this gentle lady, at
the end of the day's duties, sitting
down at her table, by the light of
candles which she herself had labor-
iously dipped before her clever bro-
ther John, Invented a candle-mak-
ing machine. She knows that the
journal will be read aloud by her
brother to her nephews and nieces
and indeed to numbers of friends and
acquaintances, So she sets herself to
recall and record every event in the
day just past which might entertain
and interest the audience in far-away
England.
The result of Anne Langton's de-
votion to her task is one of the most
fascinating accounts yet published
of the process of settlement in the
early days of Ontario, Its interest will
be as great for the reader today as
it undoubtedly was for, the audience
for whom it was written. To many,
the daily round of household duties
might have proved dull and tedious
past all bearing, To Anne, they were
all matters of extraordinary interest
to be enjoyed greatly and, vividly de-
scribed. She was an artist; too, and
often she made a small sketch of the
person or place that she wished to
describe. Many of these sketches are
included in the present volume.
Tothe day-to-day account of the life
of one family of settlers is joined, the
record of the birth, growth and devel-
opment of a community. Thomtis
Langton pens a description of the con-
dition of business in Canada on the
eve of Mackenzie's Rebellion; and
John Langton has given excellent ac-
counts of the events which accomp-
anied and followed the Rebellion, and
of the state of government in Can-
ada after the Act of Union.
The period covered in A Gentle-
woman in Upper Canada is from 1837-
44. The present volume is a valuable
addition to the literature of the per-
iod.
On Friday evening almost all the
families were represented at a social
in the Sunday School r000m of Knox
Presbyterian Church to welcome the
new minister, Rev. Matthew and Mrs.
Baillie and their small son, Gerald,
who arrived recently from Downpat-
rick, Ireland, Mr. Gordon Greig acted
as Chairman for a programme ar-
ranged by Mrs. 0, B. Moffatt, and
consisted of vocal and instrumental
numbers, recitations and readings,
Mrs. Gordon Greig led a lively sing-
song of favorite songs, with piano
and piano accordion accompaniment.
Mr, Greig welcomed Mr. and Mrs.
Baillie to the congregation and the
community and presented a miscellan-
eous shower, consisting of many use-
ful articles, A breakfast set of dish-
es, bedding, electric iron and toaster,
cooking utensils, jams, jellies, canned
goods and other articles. Mr. Baillie
expressed appreciation of the warm
welcome tendered them and for the
many gifts, Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Mc-
