Weddings SOUCH-WELSH At a charming wedding in St. Paul's United Church, Bowman- ville, on September 15th, Eva Joyce, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Everett C. Welsh, became the bride of Harry Arthur Souch, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Souch, Bowmanville. Rev. Fred H. Job- lin performed t h e ceremony against a background of tall standards of pink gladioli and ferns. The wedding music was played by Miss Lilianne Naylor and Miss Arline Northcutt sang cThrough the Years" and "Be- cause." The bride, given in marriage by her father, looked radiant in white slipper satin fashioned with long fitted torso, sweetheart neck- line and long sleeves, and with full skirt forming a slight train. Her full-length veil of embroider- ed net fell from a halo of gar- denias and she carried red roses and bouvardia. The bride was attended by her sister Miss Ber- nice Welsh and Miss Margaret MacDonald. Their gowns were of coral pink and turquoise sheer over taffeta and their shoulder- length veils .were held in place with a coronet of small velvet flowers. They carried nosegays of gladioli and mums. Mr. Stan- ley Parish, Oshawa, was best man and Mr. Jack Welsh, brother of the bride and Mr. Donald Souch, Oshawa, nephew of the groom, were ushers. Immediately following the ceremony, the reception was held in St. Paul's school room. The room was beautifully decorated with pink and white streamers, gladioli, roses and other autumn flowers. For her daughter's wed- ding Mrs. Welsh chose a British navy sheer gown with black ac- cessories and corsage of white qnums. The groom's mother wore a grey sheer frock with black accessories and corsage of yellow mums. For the wedding trip to Couchi- ching and other northern lakes, the bride changed to a blue tailored suit with beige fur trim- ming, fuschia accessories and cor- sage of red roses. The happy couple will reside at 218 Arthur Street, Oshawa. STINSON-GINN The home of the bride's par- ents was the scene of a pretty lawn wedding on Sept. 15, at 3.30 o'clock, when Lydia Viola, elder daughter of Mr. a n d Mrs. Clarence Ginn of Burketon, was unmted in marriage with Lewis Henry, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Stinson, Burketon. Rev. B. Harrison of Blackstock officiated.

Her only attendant was her sister, Miss Nora Ginn, who acted as bridesmaid, m. a gown of rose sheer and carried gladioli. The groom was attend- ed by his only brother, Mr. Gerald Stinson. The wedding music was played by the groom's mother.

Singers & Their Songs Statesman readers will recall that some time ago Mr. Fred R. Foley, 123 Lake Street, St.FCath- arines, and a well-known Dur- ham County boy, contributed a series of articles under the above caption. From the comments given by many of our readers, we believe they were greatly appreciated and one of the most popular fea- tures we have published in recent years. In conversation with Mr. Foley some time ago, we asked him if he could not add to this interest- ing collection of "Singers and Their Songs." He has graciously complied and the first in the series follows. We would suggest that you cut these articles out from week to week and put them in a scrap book for future rifer- ence and use. We find a number of subscribers using them as topics at Young People's meet- ings and other church'organiza- tions. Lead, Kindly Light Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on; The night is dark, and I am far from home; Lead Thou me on. Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene, - one step enough for me. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou Shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path, but now Lead Thou me on; I loved the garish day, and spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years. So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still Will lead me on, O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night is gone, And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile. Amen. J. H. Newman, 1801-1890. This hymn of Cardinal New- man's is a universal favorite with Christians of all denominations, Protestant and Catholic. It ex- presses heart experiences com- mon to us all. There are dark nights, homesick hours and be- calmed seas for each of us, when we say with the writer "The night is dark and I am far from home, Lead Thou me on." But the gleam of hope in the last stanza, with the remembrance of Divine bless- ings, refreshes and encourages us, -"So long Thy power has blest me, sure it still will lead me on," etc. The hymn was written in June, 1833. Cardinal Newman was on a return trip to England from Sicily on a boat laden with fruits. A dead calm held them for a week between Corsica and Sardinia and it was during the "encircling gloom" of that week the preacher- poet penned the verses of this im- mortal hymn. Cardinal Newman was the author of many books and filled a large place in the religious and intellectual life of two generations, - first as a clergyman in the Church of Eng- land and later as cardinal of the Church of Rome. He is remem- bered best by two hymns that give him rank among the great hymn writers, - "Lead, Kindly Light," written before his seces- sion to the Church of Rome and "Praise to the Holiest m the Height," written in later years. The human capacities are en- larged and perfected in propor- tion as humanity gains the true conception of man and God. -Mary Baker Eddy. THE MIXING DOW[ Sy ANNE ALLAN Hydre Home iconomie HOMEMADE PIE Hello Homemakers! Big, brown and handsome-juicy - bubbling and spic-whiffy-comes the sweetheart dessert from the oven. Mom's pie fairly whoops! Big, brown and handsome - tired, but happy-comes the maa-in-uniform on furlough, for a piece of homemade pie. He really whoops if they're good. You can, too, make a grand pie- crust. If you're worrying about it, follow the rules and don't fuss. And fillings are as legion as they're luscious, so try our sug- gestions. Double Crust Pastry 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 2-3 cup shortening, 5 or 6 tablespoons water. Sift flour and salt. Cut in shortening. Add cold water by spoonfuls, tossing flour mixture together. Turn onto a piece of wax paper. Gather up and press- ing from the outside form a com- pact mass. Chill in electric re- frigerator. Roll out lightly. Plum Pie Cook plums in a little water until soft. Remove stones, mix with sugar to sweeten (about 1 cup) and a tablespoon of corn- starch. Drain off excess juice. Slice in one apple. Fill lined pie plate, cover and bake. Pumpkin Pie 1 1-4 cups cooked strained pumpkin, 1-2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 table- spoons molasses (if obtain- àble), 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1-2 tea- spoon salt, 2 eggs, 1 1-2 cups scalded milk. Mix first five ingredients to- gether. . Use as filling for two- crust pie. Note: If the boy or girl in uni- form is expected, cut narrow bias strips of pastry and outline the name or rank on top of the pie before it goes into the oven. * * * TAKE A TIP: 1. To make a flaky pie-crust more care must be taken than in making a crumbly crust. Very soft fats do not make as nice a flaky crust as the firm- er fats (lard or shortening). 2. Sift flour and measure. Add salt. 3. In mixing the ingredients for cold water pastry be sure the shortening and water are cold. Cut two-thirds of the fat in, using two knives-one in each hand "pencil style," or pick & drop pieces of fat with some flour until mixture is like coarse oatmeal. Sprinkle a -little water on at a time using a fork to toss the mixture to- gether. 4. When the mixture can be moulded together place on a slightly floured board and roll out with a floured rolling pin. Dot on pieces of the remaining fat. Fold and roll up in wax paper. Place in upper part of electric refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. 5. Divide into portions for the number of sheets and roll out, raising at the end of each stroke. 6. Shift the sheet of pastry around a couple times while rolling into a circular shape. Then flip in half shape which makes it easier to lift to pie plate; un- fold and press into shape of plate. Prick several places to prevent "bubbles." Put in filing. 7. Roll out top crust quickly. Make slashes or cut-outs for steam to escape. Lightly dampen the edge of the lower crust. Place top on, trim with sharp knife using a dawnward stroke, or clip with shears ta within 1-2 inch :f plate and fold under. 8. Crimp the edge, pressing the edge between the forefinger and thumb of one hand and forefinger of the other. 9. We cut 3-inch strips of butter wrapping and wet it, then stick it on the edge of pie plate and 1 let it fall over the dough. This prevents juices from boiling out. 10. Place in hot oven (450 degrees) for ten minutes, then reset the automatic electric dial to 350 for the remaining thirty minutes for fruit pies. * * *• THE QUESTION BOX With the announcement of the rationing of jams and jellies, etc. we are answering problems on jelly making by sending aur War- time Jams and Jellies leaflet ta signed addresses--..yours for the asking.

As I look out,my office window on the main street these mid- summer days my eyes are dazzled by legs. White legs, sun tanned legs, long legs, short legs, clean legs, dirty legs, old legs, young legs, middle aged legs and legs that knock at the knees, male legs, female legs, thick legs that re- semble veranda posts, slim legs with dainty ankles and others with no ankles at all. The summer folks are throng- ing our streets. They have brought their legs with them, and they want us to see them. Main Street is just a glorified leg show these days. There was a time when the words "leg show" signified some- thing terrible. If you wished to say something awful about a man, something really scandalous, something that would almost drive him out of decent society you would say that he had been to a "leg show." The burlesque theatres of the big cities were "dens of infamy." They drew their patrons from curious makes who wished to know what the feminine form divine really look- ed like when clad in tights. Circus side-shows did the same thing. I can remember when women had no legs. If anything happen- ed ta their lower extremities they spoke of them as "Limbs." I am old enough to recall the days when a woman walked down the street her skirts-which included two or three petticoats-trailed the ground. (Petticoats were underskirts in case anyone does not understand.) It was an event if a passing breeze lifted those skirts high enough to give a glimpse of a trim ankle. There is a limit beyond which it is decent to expose the body in public. Some of the summer folks are skating pretty close to it. The main street is scarcely the place for a strip tease act, and the police might well be provided with some parachute coverings to throw over some of the damsels who seem.to know nothing about the old fashioned virtue of modesty. Covering is not enough in some cases. Slacks do cover the body, but when a monstrously fat wo- man puts on a pair of trousers which fit skin tight she.might al- most as well be uncovered. No stout woman should ever wear them. Pants were designed for male wear, and though they are admittedly comfortable for out- door activities, they rarely add to the charm of female wearers. Favorites with the troops are the girls who wear "pretties." Men like their women dainty. - But what's the use of a mere male ranting against slacks. The h girls will wear them if they want c to, and they don't se,em to care a w IN THE DIM AND DISTANT PAST From The Statesman Files THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO PAGE THREE oot what they look like.
