THURSDAY, JANUARY 1st, 1948 Farm Girls Seek Occupation Away From Home Many reports of rural women’s meetings have been given of late and it is noted that in all the list of officers in the various organizations, the names of very few unmarried women appear. It looks* as if there are not many spinsters in the rural districts. That could mean that farmers’ daughters tend to marry more than town girls do. But this is doubtful for the situation has not al­ ways been thus. There was a time when on prac­ tically every farm home there was an unmarried aunt making a valuble contribution to the life of the menage. That was in the days when the majority of farm girls like their brothers, found plenty to do at home, and on leaving school, remained there. However, unlike the sons, unless they married, they eventually reached a time when they were left stranded high and dry. On the death of the parents, the sons usually inherited the farm, the daughters being left with nothing but living space, and sometimes barely that, in the home of a sister-in-law. The situation was a most unfortunate one, filled with frustration for the middle-aged single farmwoman. The economies of farm life made little or no provision for her in spite of her useful part in it. Fortunately with an example of initiative by which many farm problems might be solved, the girls decided to deal with the situation themselves. If the farm could not give them a fair return for their services, they would look elsewhere, which they did. These fine capable young women in greater numbers, began to enter the professions and bus­ iness, sharing in the general widening, of the sphere of women’s activities. Their names do not appear so often now in the lists of women active in rural life, but they are to be found elsewhere. Now able to provide for themselves in a way in which they could not have done otherwise, they are leading happier lives, because their sense of security is greater. Opportunities Come With The New Year Another year is ending; not a very good one in some /espects. But it has not been the worst in re­ cent years by any means. It is true, the pessimists can find plenty about which they may complain if they wish to, as they have always done. But there are heartening signs as well. Even some of the pains are not in the neck, but are indications of growth. The sun has reached the southern limit of his travels. Already he has begun to work his way north again, bringing his warmth to prepare the earth for another^seed-time. There will be occas­ ions between now and spring when his influence will seem slight; when biting cold will strike the earth. But it will all be part of Nature's plan— a plan by which humans have been nurtured since time began. As participants in the plan, there is an oppor­ tunity for us io advance also—to kindle our spirits by the glqw and warmth o f the sun’s rays, into action whereby each one may do his part in the year that is opening. A new year of new opportun­ ities. Could more be desired? The Old Faith in The New World The new world is taking shape, an ugly shape. Charitably, patiently, justly, the democracies have striven to fulfil the trust of those who threw the torch to us. Never in history* have free peoples made a nobler effort to enshrine the sacrifices of their fallen in permanent peace. In unanimity and in deep conviction, good Can­ adians of all democratic parties have worked with the free nations to build a world in which peace and progress would bless mankind. Every means within their power has been employed in keeping faith with those who gave humanity another chance. The cause is not lost. Charity, patience and justice never are vanquished. Some day they will redeem humanity. Despite tyranny, greed, hate and cruelty, the virtues which have raised men above the animals will triumph over those who believe that men are only animals. The new world is one in which men and women and children of good-will must bravely live the faith that brings true happiness to all who serve mankind; the fafth that was raised to light and save the darkest tworld.—Selected. Courtesy and* Efficiency Marked Work Done By Post Office Staff A fine job has been done by the local Post Office staff during the holiday season. For days the sound of the stamping machine could-be heard throughout the building, from morning till night, indicating that there was no let-up in the flow of both incoming and outgoing mails. The staff worked hard and long. The number of greeting cards was said to have been the heaviest ever, while the number of parcels were up to usual. To the average person the remarkable feature was the speed with which the work was done. There were very few delays—none in the important first-class mail. Throughout the rush, the service at all the wickets was rendered with the utmost courtesy by Postmaster Gibson and his staff. They made an Important contribution to the season of cheer and goodwill.

Smith at the Ingersoll Rural Cemetery was the scene of a happy , event on Wednesday evening last, it being the occasion of their 19th wedding anniversary. Married at St Andrew’s Church, Tonypand, South Wales, Mr. and Mrs. Smith came to Canada about nine year ago. They have one son, Norman L., at 'home. It’s good for a man, now and then, to get away from his home town. One sees more clearly and feels more keenly in a different atmos­ phere. It’s even nicer to get back home! It was In the Royal York, To­ ronto. The chamber-maid came around about nine o’clock to provide fresh towels, to make the place ship­ shape for the night. I made a com­ ment or two about the weather and the fact that the hotel was full. I thought, by her accent, she was Scotch or maybe French. I asked her nationality and she said she was Polish. I asked her how long she had been iu Canada. Her reply was 20 years, she came out in 1927. She married a Pole who came out some years later. He was working in a factory in Toronto and she was working in the hotel. “It’s funny isn’t it,” she said, “I am often asked if I am Scotch and would never know there was a colorline. I asked the porter his name, itW. T. Grayson of Toronto.• e eThe meals in dining cars show theeffect of the upward surge in the cost of living. A full dinner costa $1.60, pre-war it would have been worth $1.00. The whole price pic­ ture has changed. The chances are that a majority of the Canadian people feel that life would be much more pleasant if living costa could be held down while earnings rose. The result would be rationing, great scar­ city, black markets. We haven’t the capacity to produce sufficient com­ modities to satisfy demand. No per­ iod of inflation has ever yet been checked or avoided by controls. High prices are the real remedy for high prices. It’s rough treatment, it may be cruel, in the end it’s effect­ ive, nothing else is. " MY WEEK "— by —R. J. Deaehman Boatman—Sorry, sir, but I must ask you to pay for this boat in ad­ vance.

UNITED SUNDAY SCHOOLCHRISTMAS CONCERTZenda—The annual Christmas en­tertainment of the United Sunday School was held Friday evening last in the Zenda hall, with a capacity audience in attendance. Mr. teeil Burrill was chairman and the gen­ ista were Rev, R. B. Cumming Miss Dorothy Swance and iMm. H. Harri­ son. The following was the program: Chorus, "Toymakirs' J/ream", by the school; recitatftn, Agnes Bur- rill; piano solo, Gefcldlfle Bloxedge; dramatization of ^Cfoderella”, by No. 1 school; recitation, Patricia Harvey; duet, OLeanor and Peter Hughes; play, “Christmas Voices”, by the Buds of Pjwnise and Glean­ ers’ Classes; chdrus, "The Little Elf”, by the Zenda juniors, recita­ tion, Barbara Thomas; piano solo, Jimmie Wilford; chorus, "Polar Bears”, Holbrook juniors; piano solo, Dorothy Swance; vocal solo, Carol Harrison; recitation, Dorothy Tatter­ sail; chorus by the True Blue Class; recitation, Marjorie Cole; vocal duet, Barbara Thomas and Agnes Burrill; piano solo, Fergus Chambers. SantaClaus arrived in due time and pres­ented the gifts from the Christmastree as well as a bag of candy to eachcbW.-i . ................ ..............■■ sometimes if I am French.” I asked her if she liked the country and her reply was: "Why shouldn’t I? We are getting along well. Our boys are going to school, you ought to see them, they are Canadians.” Then she added sadly: "Poland is a battle­ field. It has been fought over time and time again, you can hardly im­ agine what a shadow that casta over life especially to people with a fam­ ily. What a relief it is to live in a country like this, where fear, that kind of fear, is absent.” We ought to be thankful, perhaps we are, but I wonder. • • • He was a big man, fairly tall and must have weighed at least 250 pounds. He was ruddy of face and grey of hair. He sat opposite me but two seats ahead. He pulled a paper out of his pocket, it was the Toronto Telegram. He started to read it. He glanced rapidly over the front page, read the headings then turned to the funnies. Major Hoople was function­ ing on that page. He read quickly then turned to the opposite page. There again was Major Hoople, this time the Major had been lost for two weeks in the Gobi Desert. He lived on captured butterflies. Then he turned to the financial page and wound up with the editorials. I said to myself: “What a way to read a paper!” Then something snapped in my mind and I was suddenly aware of the fact that I read the Evening Cit­ izen, of Ottawa, in the same way. A glance at the news, a look at Major Hoople, a squint at the finan­ cial page, then to the editorials, elim­ inating the ones I do not like and back again to wind up with the news. The chances are ninety to nine that the average man does the same. He may vary in his choice, he may have a secret passion for some other char­ acter in the funnies but he doesn’t go through the paper from page to page until after he has satisfied him­ self with the important items, the Major, the financial page and the editorials. There was a little girl in the chair- car. She was travelling with her father. She was restless and a little bit hard to handle. The porter solved the problem. He drew a picture of a child about her age. It wasn't art but it amused the child. Then under his direction she drew a picture of him. He seemed endless in his capacity to amuse. He kept her busy hour after hour, she was a happy child. "Oh, it’s not hard to keep them amused," he said to me, "if you can keep them busy—there is always something you can get them to do.”. Then I remarked: "To her there is no color line." "That will come in later yeara”, he said, it is the result of education, not of intelligence.” I wondered if the human mind could retain its youth so long that we THE R OF General Statement, 2 9th November, 1947 ASSETS Notes of and deposits with Bank of Canada..

"We're going out to the high­way," he explained. “I may beable to contact a power line crewand put a call in to the hospital.1 Keep your Richard warm andgive him/ those sedatives if he’suncomfortable.” He prodded Na­omi in the back. “Come along,Baby.”She walked ahead of him'do­cilely and Cliff looked back, shot Janet a wide, triumphant grinand winked. When she heard the front doorclose, she leaned back in the big wing chair beside Richard’s bedand closed her eyes. The housewas very still.• Slowly she became^ aware, asoften happens, of eyes fixed uponher and she opened her own tofind Richard staring at her. Hispupils were dilated from the ef­fect of pain-killing drug whichmade his gaze look dark and in­tense.“Richard—” *His mouth twjsted in its oldlopsided grin. “I really fixedthings up, didp't I?” he said. “You couldn’t help it—evident­ly there's no predicting whatthat William Hartigan will do.”“He stumbled, you know," hesaid slowly.“Yes, it was "•cidental, butsomeone like Wir...,m should nev­er have a gun. I'd like to knowbow he got hold of it."“I'm sorry it happened, inmany ways. Cliff will have to inform the police—you have toreport all gunshot wounds, youknow.”Janet noticed with a little thrillof surprise that he was usingCliff's first name now instead ofcalling him Bronson, and Cliff in turn was referring to him as Richard.“How do you feelT”"Not too bad . . .” he paused,seeming to be assembling his words, "I guess Windell and Iwere wrong about Cliff — he seems to have all the makings ofa good surgeon. That was a pretty fine thing he did, Janet." She was slightly puzzled. "Yes, it was, Richard, but he didn’thave much choice—all the roads were blocked, we couldn't getyou in to town.”"There's another factor though,my dear . . . he's an intern, nota licensed physician. If anythinghad gone wrong, he stood an ex­ cellent chance of wrecking allhis plans for a doctor’s profes­sion.”“I never thought of that, Rich­ard."“Didn’t you?” His eyes lin­gered on her face, then he closedthem. She reached over quickly and felt his pulse. He was al­ready asleep.An hour later she heard Cliffand Naomi coming in. "We found a linesman and Icalled the hospital,” he an­ nounced. “They don't want Rich- hung low over his eyea and nowhe peered from beneath themquite menacingly.“Dr. Eynon tells me I’m wast­ing a prospective surgeon in the children's clinic and I’m inclinedto agree. When we get back to Cosmopolitan I think we'll seesome changes made."Cliff stared at him uncertainly."You mean—?""It means you’re through withpediatrics, Bronson. We’ll leavethat to Eynon, er? It takes a cer­tain type of personality of whichhe is the epitome. Now supposeyou show me around Oakhart.”During Richard's convales­ cence he had asked more andmore for Naomi. He insisted onher reading to him in the after­noon. Frequently Janet would overhear him correcting her pro­nunciation, asking her to raise orlower her voice. Often he wouldinterrupt to ask for a glass ofwater or an apple from thekitchen or to adjust his pillows.Janet was hurt, but since shewas now doing Richard's medicalwork as well as her own, theywere lucky to have Naomi to waiton him. She was quite eager atfirst, but on the third day Janet "All mea are obnoxious.” ard in tnere, it s too crowded.Windell said he’d drive out here with me as soon as the road isopen." “Dr. Windell?” she said incred­ulously. Yes. The old duck actuallysounded quite friendly.”"He’ll be proud of you, Cliff.Richard is—he told me only afew minutes ago that you hadthe makings of a good surgeon.”"Must have been delirious."Cliff looked vepr pleased, how­ever. "I’ll go and have a lookat him."Janet went into the kitchen for some of Mrs. Miles’ eye-openingcoffee. When she returned^ Cliff beckoned her into the bedroom.“Come in here and talk to me.I’ve given Richard a sedative;he won’t hear a word we say ifwe keep our voices low."She glanced quickly at thewhite face of the man in the bed then crossed to the window.“There isn’t much to say, is there, Cliff?”“Janet, it's absurd to go on torturing yourself like this," hesaid softly. “Why don't you tell Richard you love him?”“I can't Cliff. Don't you seewhat an awkward position thatwould put him in? He’s so finehe’d feel he had to pretend.”“Loving you wouldn’t be hardto pretend, Janet."“It would be for Richard. He’stoo straightforward a persoa toact out an insincere emotiqff?’"He’s a fool, then. Janet, if Ithought I had a chance, I’d . . .”“You're sweet. Cliff, but there’llnever be anyone but Richard forme—I realize that now. And," she added dispiritedly, “I guessthere'll never be anything thatmeans as much as medicine andOakhart to him.”Cliff busied himself feelingRichard’s pulse; a strange smileplayed around his lips.As soon as the highway wascleared. Cliff left for the city and returned with Dr. Windell Thesenior surgeon was closeted withRichard for some time while Cliffpaced up and down the hall,lighting one cigarette from an­other.When Windell emerged fromthe sick room, Cliff stared at himnervously, moistening his lips.“Did you examine the wound,sir?” “Yes, Bronson, I did.” Dr. Windell's thick eyebrows Naomi announced bitterly.ran into her in the haQ. She wassmoking and moodily gazing outthe window at the bleak Febru­ary landscape.“Is Richard sleeping, Naomi?""No, he’s probably just lyingthere thinking of more errandsfor me to run. He doesn’t likeme to smoke in there, so I cameout here.”For the first time In their ac­quaintance Janet felt sorry forher. "You’ve been a great helpto us.”Richard had undergone an­other change. Usually the most meticulous of men about his per­sonal appearance, now he refusedto shave. A grizzled, sandy andmost unbecoming beard hadsprouted all over his face. Naomi eyed him with distaste,later taking Janet aside."Can’t you do something withhim, Janet? He’s going to looklike a backwoods lumberjack.’ Janet smiled inwardly. "I'monly his wife, Naomi. If he won’tdo it for a pretty nurse like you,he certainly won’t shave it offfor me. Did you ask him?”"Yes, and he nearly snappedmy head aff.” "Well.^’m afraid we can’t do anything about it, then. He’s still sick, you know—or thinks he is.”"All men are obnoxious,”Naomi announced bitterly.Janet laughed. “Surely not allmen, Naomi.” Two tears trickled from herenormous dark eyes. "Janet, I’ve been thinking of something.”“What is it, Naomi?” "Im afraid you’ll think me aquitter, but, well—" she sudden­ly looked acutely embarrassedand equally determined. "Well,the second half of the college year begins next week. It’s mysenior year and I’d like to finishwith my own class. I’m surethey’ll give me credit for mywork here if Richard will writea sort of reference*-*9 "We’d hate to lose you, ofcourse, but I do think your ca­ reer is more important." Richard took the news withmuch grumbling and complaint,which only seemed to convinceNaomi that she was doing the right thing. But when he heardthe front door close and Naomi’sroadster swishing down the drive,he heaved a sigh of relief andswung his long legs out of bed.
