Edgar who was thanked by Mts, boss, The Program conveners were Mrs. F. Edgar, Mrs, Day, Mrs. A. Hal- liday and Mrs, Mary Galbraith. Mrs. Du Val spoke on poetry, describing metres, verse forms, patterns in rhyming etc. and illustrated these by reading some of her own poems which have been published in many periodicals and used as texts for art songs, She said the people of Am- erica are greatly concerned for the welfare of the whooping cranes and are taking steps to preserve them and the whistling swans but little is being done to keep poets who are the "sing- ing birds" of the human race.

Mrs, De Val told of an oc- casion years ago when she had been invited to visit the late Sir Charles G. D. Roberts, who ranks still as one of the greatest poets. Canada has ever had, and she remembers his sad corn, ment that he "had lived FOR poetry BY prose". Even in his day the returns from writing poetry were small and he had to resort to writing prose to maintain a living. His greatest genius was as a poet. Mrs. DuVal concluded her talk by playing a recording of the Centennial Hymn which was released by Caprice of Mont- real with the Singing Girls un- der the direction of Lois Ogil- vie. This record can now be obtained locally, Mrs. Du Val was thanked by Mrs. Mary Galbraith and said again, it was a real joy as a citizen of Wingham to have shared in the hopes and plans for Canada's Centennial, The hostesses were Mrs. Ha- selgrove, Mrs. A. Hastings, Mrs. Kelly and Mrs, J. McGee, NEED BREAKFAST "Breakfast" is made up of two Anglo-Saxon words, " bre- can" and "faesten", meaning, of course, to break a fast, For most people the fast has prob- ably lasted for ten hours or more yet isn't it surprisinghow many of them will willingly go without breakfast and ex- tend this fast to something like thirteen or fourteen hours?They wouldn't dream of starting a long journey without filling the car with gas, yet they happily set off for a hard day's work with nothing to sustain them except a hasty cup of coffee. New study book for McIntosh UCW LAKELET—On Wednesday of last week the McIntosh United Church Women met at the home of Mrs. Bruce Harkness with an attendance of thirteen. The meeting opened with a prayer for the new year by the presi- dent, Mrs. Harvey Wright. Devotions were conducted by Mrs. Eldon Renwick arid con- sisted of a hymn, a Scripture reading, meditation and prayer. The new study book for 196'l is entitled "The Church Grows in Canada". Mrs. Gordon Wright read the introduction to the book and Mrs. Jack Inglis dealt with the period from the mid-1500s to 1760. fees gzfatk Shges CENTENNIAL SPECTACULAR The armed forces are no pik- ers when it comes to taking part in Canada's centennial cele, brations during 1967. Responsi- bility for getting a "tattoo" on the road rests with Brigadier C. Arnold Peek and his staff (DND Centennial. Planning Staff) who are researching their production of authentic costumes, accout- rements and weapons, composi- tion of original music and the adaptation of folk songs and popular music to martial ar- rangements. They will provide perform- ances in forty localities across Canada from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island between March 31 and September,24. One can only imagine the magnitude of such an undertaking when such details as transportation, billet- ing and victualling as many as from 400 to 1,700 performers must be planned. The railways will provide trains which com- fortably settles several aspects of the undertaking. These trains will be self-sufficient in that they will include accommodation, messing and recreation facili- ties for the troops taking part, In addition, they will transport stage requirements, sets, props and auxiliary lighting equip- ment, plus vehicles to ferry items from railway sidings to performance locations. Some may ask, "just what is a tattoo?" The word evidently originated during the reign of King William the Third when British troops were stationed in the Lowlands. At night in order to get the revellers out of tav- erns and back to their billets a drummer was sent marching through the streets to warn inn- keepers to shut off the beer taps, The Dutch called this "doe den tap toe". As there were no barracks in Great Britain either during this period, the groups were billeted in a similar man- ner to that observed on the con- tinent and the resultant defini- tion "tattoo" was beaten for the . same• purpose as in the Lowlands As time passed, hiitory relates, musicians joined the drummer. Eventually this led to bands playing concerts to entertain the garrisons at the end of day.Lat- er, tattoos were performed for royalty and the general public. AUTHENTIC PORTRAYAL The tattoo planned for our centennial year will depict the history of Canada's Armed For- ces from their French and Brit- ish origins to our time. There will be the French regiments of Carignan-Sallieres which ar- rived from France in 1665, to provide protection for our early settlers. These regulars gave Canada a body of trained of- ficers and men and made the militia the mainstay of Can- adian defence. We will learn through the colorful means of this tattoo that the British 42nd (Royal dining rooms. For ease of application, the wallcovering is precision trimmed and ready pasted.
