party given by the Hospital Aid
at tJie home of Mrs. Frank Fing-
land, Thursday last . Games
and euchre were the order of the
evening . , Prize winners were

OUCH: "Are my legs ever'
sore!"—was a common complaint
in many business establishments
Saturday morning ... The "gals,"
who were complaining of stiffness
and its resultant pain, were the
"lady" Lions who played such a
rousing game of hockey against
the Collegiate girls Friday even-
ing
AMONG the comments we have
heard about "the game"—we un-
derstood that Sonja Helie and
Barbara Ann Scott; on receiving
wires describing the array of
costumes worn by the "lady"
Lions, were both very annoyed
It means that both, to keep
in the swim as it were, must
buy complete new wardrobes ..
* *
WE also heard that the Col-
legiate girls played a nice game
—but they took no chances; they
had their tears "loaded" with four
smartly -dad "semi-professionals"
of the opposite sex ... Tut, tut,
Mr. Fines! . .

Teaching ; Boys to Fend for Themselves
Blow-by-blow, early in life
the crippled child is out to
fend for himself with the help
of service clubs and individuals
who are interested in his be-
half. To be accepted as normal
is the desire of every afflicted
child, He learns to tussle,
wrestle and fend for himself—
and it is this training combined
with pleasure which conditions
his mind and muscles for fur-
ther introduction into t h e
world of grown-up reality.
Names and addresses of child-
ren 16 and' under should be
handed to the local welfare
chairman, Dr. J. A. Addison, or
forwarded direct to the Secre-
tary -treasurer, C. H. Epps, Clin-
ton, at the earliest possible
date, and In no case after March

the old country, or her horse
hair furniture was relegated to
the attic as so much junk to be
disposed of at some convenient
time , . Fortunately -in many
cases that "convenient time"
never arrived and, the "attic
junk", if of sufficient age, be-
came something of value—what
we know of today as "antiques"
The knick-knacks are now
proudly displayed and the old
furniture, often as not, is of some
fine hardwood, which can be re-
finished, and make beautiful
chairs, tables or what -nuts . .

THE LOCAL Women's Institute
had a display of some of these
smaller "antiques" at their meet-
ing, Thursday last, and .thus they
are fostering an interest in "old
things" that have been in fame
hies for generations . ,

AMONG the articles displayed
was •a pipe which came from
Germany after the First World
War, but which must have been
aged even then . It was made
by a tube, 'hollowed through a
small branch of a tree, 'with a
painted china bowl, which had a
silver lid .. This was displayed
by Mrs. C. Sturdy . . She also
showed two pairs of finely knit
lace cotton stockings, made by
her grandmother It was
beautiful work, but what astound-
ed us, was the small size of the
feet . , . Then there was a sea
*held, made into a bell, over a
hundred years old, belonging to
Mrs. Mel Crich...
r., <.
MRS. Mervin Betkin showed 'a
beautiful plate, which had an
original illustration from David

as .a feather and with a tube
down the centre was shown by
Mrs. S. McNall . .
THERE was a :mall piece of
needlepoint shown that had a bit
of local history behind it. It
was a small piece of petit -point i
beautifully worked and looked
like new . . , It came from Fanny

which operated the. early part of
this century at the stand now

THE VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE
It cannot be said too often
that the distinctive advantage.
of the Canada Temperance Act ' c
is that it does not authorize the
sale of alcoholic beverages. The
man who wants liquor in any C.
T. A. county is not prohibited from
getting it. He can have it brought
in by licensed public carrier The
value of the Canada Temperance d
Act is that it keeps the liquor
outlets at a distance. It is' a
sound temperance measure that
refuses to make liquor outlets
easily available. 9-b C
