TKWISDAY, OCT~ER 17. 1g4 TEE CM(A~!A1I STATESMAN, EOWMMiVLLE, O2~TA~O PAGE T1~ioem Paacinatlnt Hlatory of Glas Have you ever wondered where the beautiful stain glass win- dowt cf your church first ori- glnated? They tell us that when permanent church buildings were first being erected, clear glass for the windows was almost price- less, s0 the then cheaper coloured ffawas put te use. 0f course Pý% §Lhave changed and the little PMeÉ of rainbow tinted glass which comprise rnemorial win- dows, and add se much te the dig- nity and beauty cf our church cdi- fîces, are very costly and difficult to procure. The Egyptians are given credit for first discovering the secret cf rnakîng glass, and they used it lirst te glaze their pottery. Ap- parently at one time glass bcads were considered te be as valuable as precieus stones, for archeolo- gists have found necklaces and other types cf jewellery made of glaqs beads on the mummies cf Egyptian kings and queens. The Egyptians were also the first te learn the art cf blowing glass, but the Greeks and Assyrians became expert at this particular method. Miniatures cf everything imagin- able were made by the Assyrians, in fact when a wealthy man died, tiny replicas of the furnishings of his bouse were blown in glass and placed in his tomb for his'use in the other world. At the time cf Christ, glass rings were worn by the rich, and treasurcd as much as those cf gold. By this time, toc, the Romans were using glass for -' the windows but instead cf using a i>aCa cf glass, they leaded small pieces togethier. Then came the falcf Rome, and with that the art cf making glass was forgotten for nearly 1,000 years. The Venetians revived the for- gotten art, and guarded its secret s0 carefully that for many years, craftsmen who, betrayed the prec- !oua formula wcrc under penalty cf death. Fer a while everything froin glass floors te, pistols and candlesticki were in vogue, and it was the Venetian who learned how te make etched, crackled and lace glass. In those days they would throw a potato Into the great urns cf molten crystal in order te make steam which would dissolve any bubbles that would mar the finished product. We can thank the French for diacovering mirrors. In fact mir- rors were used by the French as decoration on belts, shoes, and ,buckles as well as for looking -~~'glasses. Mirrors werc first used in Canada in the l7th Century to trade with the Indians for more practical articles needed by the pianeers. .Away back, as far as 1898 a d4,used in a stage show, HALLOWEEN KISSES PRIOI'5-WlITH PUCTINf STRAWBERRY JAM bgNzIN-Pg TOMATO KETCHUP KRFT-PLAIN VELVEETA CHEESE PEACHES HALVES MODRS--4LDIN-asINR PACK KERNEL CORN PARK bfILL-STD. 9UALMT TOMMAOES was manufactured in the United States.

There is no telling what they will think cf next. A Cultural Community We have beard a lot of com- plaints o! one sort or another f'rom irate husbands on the sub- ject cf "Pink teas" and afterneon bridge clubs, but there is ane club in town that we feel is an asset to the intellectual and social life cf any weman. We speak of the Bowmanville Womeni's Llanadian Club. The local club, which incor- porates members from Bowman- ville, Newcastle, Courtice, Hamp- ton, Enniskillen, and Tyrone has just begun its 1949-50 activities. The club bas nearly 100 mcm- bers and a record o! 29 years of service in this community. Each menth, speakers on na- tional and international issue!s are secured and it is a geod indi- çation by the splendid member- ship, of net only the strength of the sponsoring organization, but a tribute te the cultural level of the cemmunity itself. In a nation se diverse in origin.% and customs, a group which ha2 as its objectives the strengthening o! true Canadian tics is worthy cf every support. The purpose o! the Canadian Club, acccrding te its by-laws, is "te fester patriotism and te en. courage the study o! the institu- tions, history, arts, literature, and resources cf Canada, and te unite Canadians in such work for the welfare and progress ef the Do- minion."

Canvassers would flot give their furniture, nor would merchants give their goods, so why ask the publishers ta give advertising free?

If only we. could rememnber the importance of tackling the littie moments of life! A cheery or graceful contact may raise the heart and hopes of some one who needs that badlyt But yield just for a moment to some thought cf drudgery or dreariness and put- upon-ness of our life. . . and we unconsciously spread, hii glance or word the poison to yet another heart. And here's a gemn from Edgar Guest: Service With A Smile If I possessed a shop or store, I'd drive the grouches off my floor! I'd neyer let some gloomy guy Offend the folks who corne te buy. I'd neyer keep a boy or clerk With mental toothache at his work, Nor let a man who draws my pay, Drive customners cf mine away. I'd treat the man who takes my time And spends a nickel or a dime With courtesy, and make him feel That I was pleased to close the deal, Because tomorrow, who can tel?

Seymour, Enniskillen, mentioned the different types cf people. There are those whe run away from lite and live in a dream world thinking everytbing will turn out ail right. Those wbo make excuses and are sentimen- tal. The staunch Christians - these are the people wbo are se badly needed tcday. Unity is es- sential. AlI can select the key that unlecks the deor te peace, opportunity, bappiness and con- tentrnent of mi. The speaker said the Golden Rule was £0 simple the werld passed it by. Mrs. H. A.

"Christianity and Com- munism" and "Gates of Beauty", devotional tboughts for younger eaders. Miss Frances Bonwick, Toron- te, secretary-tmeasurer cf Litera- turc, was guest speaker at both sessions. At the afternocn session she adressed the eidler W.M.S. greup. "It is legical that we sheuld advance in Literature," said the speaker. "There are almost sev- enty years of W.M.S. histery and almost twenty-five years of suc- cess. "The eascns for the achieve- ments are twcfold. The strength of our voluntary leadership: 35,000 wemen who do the real spade work in our society; or- ganizing new groups, speaking in public, promoting proeccts and werk, which we are £0 preud of in our W.M.S. "Secondly, the sound financiai policy cf aur W.M.S. To know that the money ia in the bank te work with before it is spent gives confidence and great strength when making plans fer advance."1 Next year will be Uic 25th birthday o! the United Church W.M.S. It is a moffentcus mile- stone. This birthday coincides with a great advanccment, exten- sien and expansion o! the werk o! the church. The werld secms to need Christ's message more than ever before. People today are more world-conscieus and want te be kept informed. The speaker continued "Sureiy or faith - our spirit of Chris- tianity is pewerful, more power- fui than other 'îsms' are". She urged her listeners te make themselves better informed by rcading about what is going on in the world. "The enly time te sit back - is te sit back and read world ncws". She recommended this year's study book "Growing With the Years" and advised ber listeners te-pass it on to others cutside W. MS. membership. "Get your family and friends to read W.M.S. literature and add to your members' score", she said. The speaker concluded by say- ing "Let us advance in litemature." Hold your bat.

Volunteer Workers Needed for Scturday Morning Class It docsn't seem se very niany years ago since little girls cnjcycd playing "bouse" with dolîs and toy furniture, and littie beys were happy with a game cf 1"cow- boys and Indians". But things are different now. Youngsters find time hangs heavily, and they have lest the art of play, se we have te de something constructive te keep them out of mischief. Last winter and spring Recrea- tional Directer Vince Mathewson started a Saturday Morning Class with children under 8 years of age. An average of 70 kiddics met at the Lions Community Centre each Saturday morning to participate in the games, sing- songs, quadrilles and the stcry heur conducted by several cf the high schoel students.

Christ. Miss Farmer illustrated the theme cf lber talk by telling a story about a young man who was leaving bis home for the first time. His mother sent him te look at a pictume in the art galiery. He hesitated te enter the room where the picture was because each time hie opencd the door, hie couid sec a man prayirlg and he did flot want te intrude. Finaily he did enter, and as he wa]ked forward, he realized that he had been looking at a picture o! Christ praying in Gcthsernane.1 A% he looked carefuily at thei painting, be was tmoubled by the1 worried exprestion on Christ'si face. He thought it must indicate that he was afraid to die. He took bis preblem to bis mother andi she cxplaîncd that Christ was1 worricd about bis followers, afraidq that perhaps through the years thcy rnight forget ta finish ail the things He bad had ta~ leave un- donc.- The worship service was led by Gwen Murray, assisted by Rena Mutton.

M. had a tubercular condition that required immediate hospitalization. What was te become of young Mary, John and Tirnry, aged eight, six and three? Recentiy settied in this part o! the country, the Mclntosh- es had ne near r'elatives or friends who couid take over their care; and Mr. M. on bis modest salary, couid hardly afferd a full- time housekeeper. A neighbour suggeèted that Mm. M. seek the advice cf the local chiidren's aid society.

The society seon ]ccated a tem- porary foster home where the cbildren could stay until their mother ecovered. Mr. M. Would pay their modest board. Mrs. M.'s ilîness provcd mare sericus than' at first thought and it was two years before Mary, John and Timrny were back in their own home. But in the mean-time they were happy and wel cared for by "Aunt Min" and "Uncle Eddie". And it was fun te have "cousins" Jackcie and Susan te play and romp with.
