By Margaret Farmer WOODCRAFT BOBBYIST *A litfle English-born lady of 64 Summers, the wife of a Markham chicken farmer has recently corne into fame as a master craftsman ini the rather unusual hobby of Wood-carving. In the five years àince she commenced this exact- ing pastime, she bas acquired abc'it 50 groups ta her credit, teVofwhich have been exhibi- d and admired ail over the country. Every moment of ber leisure time is devoted ta carving animais and animal groups. She uses wainut, bass, cherry, xnahogany and pine, and because anything under two inches thick requires too much giueing, and is therefare uselcss, she is constant- 1Y on the search for Wood. Many of her carvings are fram chunks of old trees which were siated for fuel-she found them in the neighbor's Wood pile. Whenever it is necessary ta coi- or ber models. Mrs. Leat uses ail paints, but ber preference is for hardwoods sa she can utilize the natural grainings. A navel ex- ample of this is seen in her zebra, Canstructed from sumac where the light and dark lines of grain simulate perfectly the animal's stripes. Ail this started when Mr. Leat, Who is also a retired cabinet mak- er, decided ta try a carving from SPECIAL LOW RAIL FARES TO ROYAL AGRICULTURAL 'WINTER FAIR TORONTO NOV. 15 -23 FARE AND ONE-HALF For the Round Trip Good Going - Nov. 14 - 16 i.

It is now we must urge for action if we should pratect Canada's youth-the citi- zens o! tomorrow,"' s0 said anc o! the speakers at the great Wo- men's Crusade beld in Massey Hall, Toronto, Thursday evening. A number of Bowmanville wamen werc present at this rally, whicb brought ladies from ail over the province ta Toronto, ta hear the three prominent womcn orators cxpound fluently on the scientific, economie and social problems we are facing today because o! the liquor problem. In the past wc bave donc a lot o! talkîng about this problm- but tao frequcntly it bas ended there. Perhaps even now it is too late, but the National Council o! Women bave proposed that a wo- man be appointcd as a member o! the Liquor Contrtol Board, sa that the borne, which is the most im- portant institution in our national life, may bave a voice. If it; stili be truc that "the band that ocks the cradle, rules the world", then acting upon the bigh ideals and Christian standards wbich aur best womcn represent, we may yet be able to curb the horrible cvii which today jeopardizes aur present generation and that ta came. MORE ABOUT, THIS WOMAN'S .WORLD Just the other day we came across an editorial- - obviousiy writtcn by a man- - on the sub- jeet o! the much discussed "Wo- man 's Worid". We hope you rea- lize that you are extremeiy im- portant in the ecanomy o! the nation and that your whims and wishes must be obeyed - - at least that's what the man said. The ladies spend an almost un- believable percentage o! the weekly payroll, in fact from al that jr said and writtcn on the subject, the littie woman bas the first and iast word on the disposai of ber lord and master's incarne, no matter what tax brackct it falîs in. M!vost o! national advertising is directed at the feminine view- point - in fac t, recently a n automobile was advertised as "the most beautiful thing on wheeis", with upholstery in cal- ors ta match "bher" wardrobe, and a trunk roorny cnough for grocery shopping. Nary a word about the mechanical details of vehicular equipment! It's ail good psycholo- gy. Get the littie woman ta lure ber man into the motor showroom and then go ahead with the less glamorous details-- including the price. The gentleman in question fur- ther voices his disgust by saying that "a kitchen is no longer ful o! iabor-saving devices sa that the bousewifc can escape its con- fines as fast as possible. Tbirsty towels came rainbow-hued. Wasb- ing machines are s0 streamlincd and alluring that the lady o! the bouse may start Monday's chore attired in ber pink-tea clothes.

But we have yet to see any kitchen so equipped that we can forget the old saying "a womnan's work is neyer done". THE DAILY CHORE There must stili be some sym- pathctic husbands. This one bas penned a rbyme we think wil bring a smile: Too much of woman's life is men- iàI service, Like cooking meals and bending over sinks, It makes ber cross and out o! sorts and nervous, Methinks. Ail day she toils, without reward or guerdon, Rubbing, the brass and sîlver till it gleams. The least we men can do is ease ber burden, Mcsccms.
