Many a toy bought with much love and money is admir- ed briefly Christmas morning, and discarded by noon in favor of a battered sauce pan. Others, in eager, slightly clumsy young hands, suddenly become a menace to safety. Judy Adams of the Ontario Safety League compiled a rule- of-thumb list of things to look for and to look out for when you choose toys. The list is broken into age categories partly because a toy given to a child who is too young for it can become an unsafe or a dull toy for that child. For a child up to two years old, Miss Adams says toys should be too big to swallow, light in weight, washable, col- ored safely, and have rounded corners and edges. She suggests rattles, cuddly animals, floating toys, rocking chairs, block stacks, kiddie cars, sand toys. LAKELET Mr. -and Mrs. Gordon Wright visited with Mr. and Mrs. Syd Thompson at Wing- ham, on Sunday. Visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Warren Zurbrigg on Sunday. were Mr. and Mrs. Morley Zurbrigg of Willowdale. CWL Euchre The Tuesday evening euchre at Sacred Heart Church had seven tables in play. The event was convened by Mrs. Keith Montgomery and Mrs. Doug Nesbitt. High lady was Mrs. Alf Lockridge and high man was William Eadie. Low lady was Mrs. Oscar Kieffer and low man was Alf Lock- ridge. The door prize was won by John Sproal. If you buy a cuddly stuffed toy, buy one without glass eyes or buttons which can be bitten off. Get one with trim painted on or at least made of felt. For two- to four-year-olds, a toy should encourage physical play and help train the eye and improve co-ordination. For ^his age group, too, toys should be light in weight, too big to swallow, and have no small removable parts. They should be non-inflammable, safely colored, have no sharp edges and resist breaking. Cheap, hard plastics will break fairly easily to produce a dangerous sharp edge. Toy suggestions for children aged two to four include trucks and cars, blocks and simple building sets, tops and music boxes, sleighs, tricycles, car- riages, modelling clays, puz- zles, bathtub toys, housekeep- ing toys and dolls. When children are four to six years old, the toys which should interest them most would appeal to their imagina- tion and initiative, and en- courage play with other child- ren. Scooters and tricycles are on the list, and for them or any other age group, mobile toys should be well-balanced. They might also enjoy • simple games and construction sets, blackboards, doll houses, mechanical trains, small sports equipment, musical toys, paper dolls and picture weaving sets. Individual and group inter- ests begin to show at about six to eight years. It is a competi- tive age, and the beginning of the hobby age. For this group she recom- mends avoiding toys too big or complicated, sharp-edged tools or shooting toys, and electrical toys which are not marked with an approved safety seal. Board reviews cadet policy Continued from Page One of topics but one group had talked on whether or not they were in favor of the move to an amalgamated board for the county. The group was about evenly split pro and con. One point which met with general agreement was the necessity for having elections early enough in 1968 to give the, county board time to properly organize the new system. In private conversation many of the trustees were of the opinion that little concrete planning could be done until the legislation which will cover the proposed changes is brought down, probably next Papers given on Christmas theme The December meeting of St. Andrew's W.M.S. was held in the upper room, the decorations giving a Yuletide atmosphere. The theme of the meeting centred around the birth of the Christ Child. The meeting opened with prayer by the president, Mrs. T. Currie. A Christmas carol was sung followed by prayer by the president. Mrs. Wm. Ford gave an interesting sketch of the life of Isaiah as a prophet and read Isaiah 9: 1-'7 which foretold the birth of the Sav- iour. Miss Leah Currie then led in prayers. The business meeting was conducted. The offering was received and dedicated by Mrs. D. Rae. Mrs. Roy Hastings read a paper, " Are You Ready for Christmas?". Following the singing of a hymn Mrs. Mary McKinney read a paper, "His Name Shall Be Called Wonderful." Miss A. Williamson gave a thought provoking paper on the subject, "If Christ Had Not Come." Kenneth Aitcheson played a medley of Christmas carols on his saxophone. The meeting closed by singing " Angels from the Realms of Glory," and prayer 44-4.4.444 -1444444.4`4400.1141411161111taiNilliediREIMMEramprn -444.4.4.44.4 4.44enorma i by Mrs. L.

February. One study group suggested that each board delegate one- member to be ready to meet when conditions warrant further discussion, There was little discussion of the impact of the amalgama- tion on the tax problems which would be created by the chang4 and how they would affect individual municipalities in the county. Once again from private discussion, a number of trustees were of the opinion that the change would mean a jump in the cost of education, due to Are medicines always a mystery to you?

Moszkowski we were able to fill in only a few of the details of his life in Europe. Ted was not prone to conversation about his own exploits. Since that time, however, The Advance- Times has secured more details about his service record. A native of Poland, Tad- eusz Moszkowski was born in the city of Lodz. As a young Boy Scout he took part in the first World War, In 1918 he was captured and spent six months in a prisoner of war camp in Hungary. When he returned to Po- land he saw service in the Polish war of independence, 1918-20, against the Russians. After hostilities were over he returned to high school and later to university, and after he had completed his educa- tion he joined the Polish Air Force. Rising to the rank of col- onel, he served with distinc- tion in the years between the two wars, being posted for some time with the French Air Force in a liaison capacity. When war again broke out in 1939 he was in charge of an air force training school in his homeland. His students even- tually became the core of the Polish Air Force squadrons in Britain which fought beside the R. A.F. in the Battle of Britain. After making his way to England Mr. Moszkowski join- ed the Royal Air Force with the rank of wing commander and he flew for two years with the Coastal Command, taking an active part in the air battles over the Atlantic, particularly in operations against enemy submarines. In 1943 he was appointed chief armament officer of the Polish Air Force in Great Bri- tain and was in London until the end of the war. Mr. Moszkowski spoke. Polish, Russian, French, Ger- man and English And one of his activities was the transla- tion of books and documents from French to Polish and from Polish to Russian and Polish to English. Intensely interested in the literature of many Lands, he had a most interesting col- lection of books in his own library, as well as a fine col- lection of Polish postage stamps. Ga A WILLIAMS, 0.0.
