Mission on Our Doorstep, Pertinent Topic at WMS The Women's Missionary Society of St. Andrew's Presby- terian Church held its January meeting in the church parlour, with the president, Miss V. Mc- Laughlin presiding. After the call to worship and a hymn, Mrs. T. Currie led in prayer. A very interesting let- ter was read from Rev. Angus MacKay from India. Miss Ruth Anne Currie sang a solo, "It Is No Secret". The offertory prayer was given by Mrs. H. V. Pym. The Scripture and medita- tion were given by Mrs. H. Aitchison. Her closing remarks were "We have built, we have faith, will we maintain? Let us step into the future and work for missions with vision." The new study for the year is "Mission on Our Doorstep". Mrs, Aitchison and Mrs. Pym dealt with this topic under the heading of "Let's Look at Our- selves" . In a conversation be- tween two W.M.S. members many pertinent and thought- provoking questions were brought up, which members could apply with profit to the society. They suggested that members must look at them- selves and the society and de- cide what the qualities of a real Christian group are. Can- ada is becoming a Christian country in name only. We must realize that Christian faith is a very personal thing and each of us must want to have a share in speeding God's word to others. After the singing of another hymn, Mrs. W. McKenzie clos- ed with prayer. DIETARY ERRORS BRING ILL HEALTH The desire of teen-age girls to be slim often leads to diet- ary errors resulting in ill -health. This should be watched. At this age soft drinks and candy become a problem when they take the place of foods required to meet bodily needs. Running a House? Or It Running You? BY DARREN STONE In The Christian Science Monitor "I'll tell you something, quite frankly. I don't think you ought to write the things I'm talking about, I mean, some- body, probably a lot of some- bodies, won't understand, They'll get the wrong idea. You have to know me, and know my situation, and then you'd under- stand why I see things the way I do." "What things do you mean? How do you see things?" "Well just to start with, I don't like being called a house- wife. It's almost a degrading term the way it's used. I always thought it was silly; sounds like a person is married to a house, instead of a man. You know what I mean?" "But do you like your job, do you like being at home and running things?" "Sure I do. Not that it makes much difference, does it? I mean, any other job you have, if you can't stand it, you quit, go somewhere else. Who can quit being a mother? That's where the trap is. Once a mo- ther always a mother, like the saying goes. But I'll tell you, I have my secret of success. I don't know if it's something to recommend or not. Anyway, I'll tell you about it. "I had three under my feet all the time, you know, before they were school age. And I was so conscientious; you wouldn't believe it. 1 was try- ing to give Teddy piano lessons when he was four; I'd have tea parties with Ellen and we'd bake little cookies and put faces on them. I taught the children manners; I kept the house neat as nylons; I cooked splendid dinners for my husband. I mean, I was really unbeliev- able." "And how did your family like all this perfection?" "I don't know. I was so busy doing all these great things, following all my projects, I didn't have the least idea what my children were like as people.

"In a way, yes, It was kind of an evolving thing, not just overnight, First, though, I de- cided I was going to have fun, not just the kids. And since they had to be with me, I'd learn to have fun their way. "Being under orders all the time: 'Don't eat that cooky in here, you'll drop crumbs,' is no fun. 1 stopped trying to pro- tect the house. "Then I started watching them play by themselves. At preschool age they didn't need organization, lessons, goals. Let them wiggle their toes in the sand. What if it gets in their beds? Who cares? "I'll never forget the day I heard Teddy say to Ron, ' Mom- my's got more smiles on now.' "And we had hamburg in- stead of rolled, stuffed breast of veal. You know what my husband said? 'I'd rather eat cereal for dinner, and have you cheerful.'" "Ndw that the three are in school do you find you do things differently?" "A little. I keep things pret- ty well picked up, and once in a while I surprise Rich with a special dinner. But I don't ever want to become fussy again." "Is that all there is to your secret, learning to let things go?" "That's it. But I don't want to give the wrong idea. I don't mean letting go of important things, like manners, and obe- dience, and teaching the kids to pick up their own things. "How can I put it in better words? It's learning how to run the house with a light touch,not letting it run you with heavy demands. It's learning what matters, pride in how clean the curtains are or walking in the wind and gathering autumn leaves. It's being married to people instead of things." REMOVE SNOW FROM ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS Large quantities of snow on ornamental shrubs such as Jap- anese yews, junipers and ce- dars can result in severe dam- age if not removed. Flat-top- ped hedges may also suffer from heavy snowfall. Horticulturists with the Ontario Department of Agriculture suggest that after heavy snowfalls the snow should be brushed or knocked off; any broken branches should be prun- ed back to the point where breakage occurred. Almost every heart condition can be helped by proper treat- ment. Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, January 14, 1965 - Page 5 features from The World of Women REV. JARDINE INSTALLS OFFICERS AT MEETING The United Church Women held their installation meeting in the Sunday School room on Monday evening, with a good attendance. Unit 1 had charge of the meeting.

Goy, Mrs. J. Reavie, Huron Presby- terial stewardship and recruit- ing secretary gave an inspira - tional talk on "Stewardship".

Our story about Mitchell's Butcher Shop in last week's issue put many minds to work recalling earlier days. One of our informants tells us that the restaurant was run by Jim McKelvie, not Jim Mc- Callsey. Mr. McKelvie sold to Lac Kennedy of Seaforth, who had two daughters. The store was sold to Andy Mitchell's uncle by Mr. Kennedy. Another reliable source tells us that a Mr. Drummond owned the butcher shop before Ab Louttit and that the grocery store spoken of last week was really located in what is now Currie's furniture store. This week not a vestige re- mains of the old building. Wreckers have removed the structure and the site has been levelled for a parking area. HAIR A HORRID HALF-DOZEN SHADES? It's probably caused by a build-up of tint. Get your locks back to nature with one or two royal conditioning treat- ments at home. Half an hour or so; no effort. Since the won der working oils are water sol- uble, they whoosh out at the first touch of shampoo. And they put the patina of a month of brushing on --all at the same moment.
