TRUESDAY, FE. th, 194 TEM CANADIAN STATEMAN, BOWMANVILL, ONTARIOPAE] favorite eus tomers are m~i So you're hard to please? WeiI, we like 'em that way. We like the fellow who knows good clothes, and loves to wear them. A man who's finicky about it .. who appreciates a fraction of an inch on a shoulder, a perfect drape, an exact trouser Iength. Our tailoring houses spend a lot of painstaking time on the subtle points that make a good suit good. They love to hear that our customer is a "hard to please" fellow who appreciates their craft. We take pride in seeing their suits stand out in a crowd; in hearing that envious, "Where did you get thtsut"afer or ....s...........................................................................s:tom..:..:.:.:.:.:.: 1'e is -.=.--==~1 our business, his grooming our hest advertisemeiit. ---------- -------------- -- ------------ ----- ===----------- --------- ----------- --------------- 'Hppiness and Personality' Topic at Women's Institute, Bowmanville Women's Institute mtet in the Parish Hall on Thurs- day with a good attendance of members and a few visitors pres- ent. President, Mrs. Chas. Mut- ton presided during the business discussion and for the hearing of reports from the different com- mittees. Several knitted articles for the Red Cross were handed in and a quilting was arranged. It was decided to sponsor a class of Junior Girls who will study the topic "How cottons can be Smart." Mrs. Thos. Buttery and Mrs. Selby Grant were appointed leaders in this project, to coach and assist the girls. AIl girls from 12 to 26 years of age may join this class. .There is no tuition fee, the only requirements are a willingness to attend at least seven meetings during the year and to follow the leader's, instructions in buying materials and making articles of clothing. The roll call on slogans and trade names created unusual in- terest as everyone was able to answer to this. Mrs. L. S. Dumas, convener of the group in charge, presided during the program. Miss Patsy Ann Smith and Mrs. L. Richards contributed several appropriate readings which were much enjoy- ed. The speaker scheduled to give an address on "Publicity," phon- ed the morning of the meeting that owing to illness, he would be unable to be present. So an ur- gent caîl for some one to f11l in resulted in Mrs. J. Thickson giv- ing some interesting and humor- ous remnarks on *"Happiness and Personality." Mrs. Thickson mentioned among the requisites for happiness-love, kindness, good cheer, pity, sense of humor, patience, faith in peo- ple, hope, an abundance of cour- age and all the smiles that can be found. Everyone strives te be happy and while aîl these differ- ent things and many others make for happiness yet the speaker stressed that happiness is found only withn ourselves. Among hints for obtaining a ýpleasing personality, it was sug- gested that belonging to clubs and organizatienS was advîsable as a r neans te receive education tc mnake one more efficient. Goocl looks are somnetimes a handicap te improviflg personality when a persan so blessed will not strive for other qualities. Personality can not* be founded on physica. qualities alane as the mind anc the spirit have something te do with it. Sairitly characters also forceful characters have difficu1ty in adjustiflg themselves to every- day living. Several suggestions for imprev- ing personality were stressed in- cluding "Face One's Fault: Squarely. " fhe speaker thought that there had been improvement in the ast 10 or 15 years which was the re- suht of radio, modemn transporta- tion, movies, magazines, etc., es- pecially among those women who iive in isolated farming commun- ities. Nowadays, when attending conventions and other get-togeth- ers, women in towns are proud to associate wîth farm women. Women take their disagree- ments in their home if e and in their organizations too seriously. They should be more pliable and be able to disagree harmonîously. In clubs and organizations try te be friendly and helpful and not critical of the president and of the leaders. It has been written that a con- tributing factor in the recent con- ditions in Europe was a lack of spiritual thinking on the part of the people. No one should be de- prived of their church and relîg- ious belief as they are needed to complete their if e. Different types of personalities were mentioned as the leader, the follower, the shy and backward and those who think they have no talents. Those who are handicapped physically and have made good are to be commended. History is full of stories of hwndicapped men and womnen who have overcome such serious inflictions as stam- mering, blindness, paralysis, etc., and who are among the world's greatest benefactors. An outstanding requisite in the pursuit of happiness is to cultivate a liking for other people and look for their fine qualities. In concluding the speaker stress- ed that happiness comes from a desire to serve others, rather than to do for ourselves. There are great possibilities for service to others today and the greatest per- sonal happiness will be found in this service to other people. Mrs. Fred Baker moved a vote rof appreciation te the speaker, 1who on very short notice had fill- ed in se acceptably and the read- àers for their fine numbers. - A social haîf hour when a cheer- 1ing cup ofetea and dainty sand- awiches were served, closed the ) meeting. TIME IIS NOTHING We're incined te accept as gos- pel anything that those Prussian grenadiers who serve as doarmen at the big movie hauses choose ta yeil down aur thraats, but we were somewhat flustered the oth- er night when we heard the one outside the Astor Theatre an- nounce clearly, "There will be lin- mediate seating in hall an hour." -The New Yorker. Courtice The congregatioflal meeting of the Hîghway Sunday school was held with a good attendance. Sa- tisfactory reports were given from the different groups and the fol- lowing program given: Three Lii- lie brothers, trio, accompanied by Mr. Van Ginton on guitar, in song; vocal solo, Alan Lillie; Mrs. Bob Barber and Barry Johnston with violin numbers accompanied by Mrs. Clarence Penfound at the piano; vocal solo, George John- stone; broadcasting act by Barry Johnston and Buddy Hockin; chorus, senior girls. Refresh- ments were served and a social time enjoyed together. The weekly quilting was held at Mrs. Eric Lillie's on Thursday. Due to weather and sickness there was not as many in attendance, but the brave few succeeded in finishing the quiît just the same. Mrs. Joe Gearing, Mrs. Geo. Barber, Mrs. Mackenzie, Mr. Fred Adam, Miss Georgia Day and Miss Helen were visitors in Toronto Mrs. Leslie Welsh and children, Salem, were visitors with her mo- ther, Mrs. Annie Simpson, and helped celebrate the birthday of little Miss Louise Goddard, Mrs. Simpson's granddaughter and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Goddard. Speedy recovery is hoped for Mrs. Wilson who is quite ill in Oshawa Hospital and also Mrs. DeCoe, who, is quite indisposed. Trooper Raymond Wiggans, of Camp Borden, was guest with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Wig- gans. We are momentarily awaiting the day that fiery political poten- tate from the deep South, Senator Claghorn, Fred Allen's friend- that is-throws his Kentucky der- by into the presidential ring.

Birks, for the year 1945, are the supplementary reports of the Public Health Nurse, Miss Lena Taylor, Reg.N., and of the Sanitary Inspector, Chief of Pol- ice Sidney Venton. Since these municipal services are now in- corporated into the new County Health Unit they will henceforth come under direction of the new director, Dr. G. W. Miller. Miss Taylor is now on the staff of the County Health Unit, Durham County. Reporting on her duties for the past year, Miss Taylor dealt with Infant Hygiene Service; Pre- School Health Service and general School Health. A total of 61 chil- dren about to enter school receiv- ed special attention. 0f the 587 pupils in elemerrtary school, 98 received supervision visits, and a total of 139 special visits were made among them. 0f 29 requir- ing attention, 14 had hearing de- fects, 14 with tonsil infections, and 96 were notified of dental defects. All received apprepriate atten- tion. The Red Cross Home Nurs- ing was continued in 4th Form at the High School and of the 15 stu- dents attending, 12 received cer- tificates. In all, 127 families representing 177 individuals received service during the year. This involved 268 home visits, 23 off ice visits for a total of 291, with special atten- tion given cases of communicable diseases and two with tuberculo- sis. Sanitary Inspecter, S. Venton reports regular inspections of restaurants every three months, together with bakeries. All were found uniformly satisfactory. Slaughter houses, inspected twice a year were also found to observe ahl regulations. Refuse disposal included frequent inspections of the town dump. One swimming pool was inspected each month and samples of water and milk sent regularly for analysis te the provincial laboratory. The gen- eral report found conditions un- usually of high standard wîth not a single case coming under the Health Act. ST. PAUL'S C.G.LT. St. Paul's C.G.I.T. held their regular meeting in the primary roam, Jan. 23rd, with President Joan Rice in the chair.

Pleasant Evening At Providence Forum The Providence Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. Hendry. This was review nîght and after a short discussion the gentlemen entertained the ladies. The program was of a very high standard consisting of a humorous solo by Milton Wight with the rest of the men singing the chorus; solo by Orville Osborne; two choruses by the entire group with Milton Wight acting as conductor and leader; a male quartette by four members of the group sang three numbers. Forbes Heyland moved a toast to the ladies. One of our junior farmers, Wm. Hock- shaw, who is a member of the Older Boys Parliament, spoke on the boys work carried on by them. A contest was held among the ladies to give a name to the chorus and this was won by Mrs. S. C. Allin who suggested "The Sod Busters' Chorus." The men served a dainty lunch of sandwiches (which were supposed to have been made by them), ice cream, cake, apples and candy. Number present 44. Next meeting at F. Heyland's. Smart Girls Always Carry Paradol in their Handbags They know that Paradol will re- lieve themqucy of headaches, and other disco=foras well as help to check cold&. One girl writeo, -"Until I used Paradol every moith I suffered al- most unbearable pains. It is the most quickly effective relief I have ever used and there is no disagreeable after effet." Dr CiWaI±'.I PA RA D 0 Encourages Too Many Indolent Fathers (From The Scene published by John Atkins at Shingwauk Farm) Ahl Canadians are agreed that money well spent on the educa- tion and physical fitness of Cana- dian children is a wise investment that will pay big dividends in the future. A vast experiment is now be- ing conducted in Canada in the ex- penditure of $250,000,000 per year in family allowances. Are the children most in need of aid being benefited by family allowances? It is probably that the govern- ment already has under-way a survey of the results of family allowance payments and that the correct answer to this question of vital importance, in view of the expenditure, will be made public in due course. In the meantime the personal observations of some who are close to individual cases indicate that a number of the children who need most the benefits of the fam- ily allowance are not being helped by it. These observers fear that the family allowance has enabled shiftless and indolent fathers to evade the work equivalent of the grant. In a considerable number of cases the family allowance pay- ments will exceed the previous cash income of those who live on a subsistence basis and whose cash income was earned by cas- ual labor, or bush work which is presently plentiful. To the extent that the Family Allowance enables indolent fath- ers to sit by the stove when they should be working, the allowance will become an Indolent Fathers' Allowance. There is nothing more harmful to a family of child- ren than the constant presence of an idle and shiftless parent, rich or poor. When the facts have been found, whatever remedies may be neces- sary should be applied at the earl- iest opportunity. The inevitable imperfections of such legislation should not be permitted to grow. PAID SECRETARY COBOURG COMMERCE- CHAMBER The grant of $1,500 authorized by the town council ta the Cobourg Chamber of Commerce, is perhaps the largest sum of this kind ever made te any board of trade or Chamber of Commerce in Cobourg in years past. It reflects the grow- ing importance which the Ce- bourg Chamber of Commerce has attained. It is realized that the hands of a town council are more or less tied by legal restrictions which do net affect a Chamber of Commerce in relation ta industry. As the Cobourg Chamber of Com- merce plans ta hire a paid secre- tary-manager, the grant fram the tawn will materially assist in pay- ing his salary., a a a a a a a i Y ou'I1 enjoy ouir Orange- Pekoe Blenct TEAI LOAN COSTS REDUCEDIl No bankable security required W H EN you borrow, why not pay as littie as possible for your loan«?
