PAGE FOUR Current Con fidential -m By Elsie Carruthers Lunney "A GALLANT LADY" Only a ittle over a year ago the British Commwealth wý,as shocked by the death of Kingj George VI, and it was no exag- geration when people said that they feit a sense of personal loýss Now we mourn Queen Mary, bis mother, and while the shock was flot so great when the news came, because of her age and re- cent illness, there is again that sense of loss. That feeling of kmn- ship in the face of sorrow, or bond of pride and friendship in happier times, is the indefinable, indescribable thing which bindsi the Commonwealth together. Itý is the thing which the rest of the1 world respects but can hardly understand. Most of us cant ex- press it, but we are very glad it is so. The sympathy of the Common- wealth peoples, and others too, went out this past week to aur Royal family. Queen Mary with1 her dignitly, erect bearing, dis- tinctive dress, her example of de- 'votion to duty in spite of great personal sorrows wbichi she had to bear, was an example of what a Qucen should be, to her farn- ily, and to ail the world. She seemed a rock, against which trouble broke and passed on. leav- Ing ber flot unmoved, but al- ways the conqueror. It has been said by someone that she was a gallant lady, and we think that this desciption cannot be improved upon. She was a great example and source of help and inspiration to lier granddaughter, aur Queen E liza- beth. It is a fine thing and a com- fort to think that some of Queen1 Mary's upright and high ideals will live on in ber granddaughter, as they did in her son, the late King. It is this sense of tra- dition which means sa much to us ail. "ONE MORE GERM, I'LL SCREAM" At the last Home and School IAssociation meeting which was the beginning of that ill-fated Imonth of Malrch, Mrs. Biggs read a poem vhich has since proved to be even more appropriate than dtws then. It was entitled, "One MoeGermn, l'Il Scream." As can be i magined, it bad to do with children in a famnily getting one disease after another, until moth- er got to the point of "one more germ li Y But at tbat time the germs were just wandering around arm in arm in friendly flocks. Since then tbev b, ave got together in whole regiments. and if anyone has noticed piercing sounds other 1 than train whistlcs, it probably ,wasn't banshees. It was number- less mothers. joined by other be- l nighted individuals suffering from *flîi, screaming, to relieve their feelings. When many fam- ilies have experienced a succes- sion of mumps. colds. measles and 'flu, can voua blarne them? The epidemnie proportions of these diseases lu Bowmanville in the last few weeks got us to won- dering \vhy thcv aIl disappear in the xvarm \veather. And if thev disappear in sumimer, does that mean Ilhat clirnates liat are warmi or bot ail the timne are free of tbem?', We suppose the onlv way to fil-d out autboritatively is to write the medical bealth officer in Miamn i-orNew Orleans or Los Angeles. If the answer should be, fia colds, fia 'flu, murnps, measies or wbat have you. would there bc a mass exodus from Bowman- ville? Maybe we hadn't better ask that question now. But since we are now over the 'flu ourseif, we can view the world once more with an un- jaundiced eye. (That may be a new word, but one can be said ta view with a jaundiced eye, Sa LANDER HARDWARE 7 King St. E. BOWMANVILLE Phone 774 PINT THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO why flot unjaundiced?) At the risk of having boots or any other old thing haridy thrown at our head by those stili in the throes Of mumps, measies, etc. etc., we will say cheerily: "Look at the tulips shooting up, look at the crosus in bloom, look at the grass getting green. look at the robins flying in ail directions. getting better ail the time." And at this point someone screeches: "Look at this, look at that!! How can I look when I can't see out of my eyes? When would I get time to look anyway, with kids sick in bed, the washing flot done, the house a shambles. Look at the tulips shooting up! There ought to be a law against column- ists!" But then, people stili in this un- fortunate state certainly have no timne for reading columns, so we won't start ducking. A SUCCESSFUL FIRST The number of nights the new addition at the Lions Community Centre has been used since it was apened, anc wonders how wc al] got along without it before. There have been rnany fine gatherings in it, including the civic recep. tion for Ray Dudley, but lasi week there w~as nc which was quite new and different. The Bowmanville Business and Pro- fessional Women's Club hclda display of sewing which follow* cd a cantest open ta al af Dur- ham County. As far as is known, iA is the first of its kind in this district, and it is the first suclh affair pramatcd by any B. & P. Club in Ontario. There were quite a number af attractive entries in the four classes of sewing, and the girls showed their ingenuity in the clever way in wbich the articles were displayed. The wholc room was most attractive, and patrons of the Easter tea and display werc xvlcomed by the president, vio- let McFeters, convenor Frances Hearle and other members of the club. The interest which the pro- ject araused may be judged by the crowds of ladies who attended bath afternoon and evening in spite of an alniost continuaus downpour. The girls werc much encouraged by thc cnthusiasm ai the crowd, many of whom said they would enter articles them- selves another time. After ail, when you get women and clothes tagether, you can't ga wrong, can you? A lot of people are haping the B. & P. Club will spansor anather contest and display ncxt year. In- cidentally, the girls werc a good advertisement for Dame Fashian, being mast attractively dressed. And another autstanding thing was the friendly and graciaus way thcy mingled with those who turned out ta support them. 1' MORRISH There was a very good number at Sunday Sehool but Church Service had ta be cancelled aw- ing ta the indisposition of the Rev. Harding. The next regular service will lie held on Sunday, Easter Day, at 3 p.m. at which the Holy Sacrament will be ad- ministerd. There will also be special music. March 23, Farm Forum was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lea Beran. This was the final anc of the seasan and was mare or less of a social evening. After the business sessian a pleasant time was spent at cuchre winding up with a bountiful lunch and re- grets that these weekly get-toge-1 ther had came ta an end. The community was saddened when the news became known of the passing of Mrs. Henry Beckett. We extend aur sincere sympathy ta ail the members of the fam- ily especially ta Miss Minnie wha was ber mothcr's close compan- ion and faithful nurse for many years. Mrs. Beckett xvas a statinch memnber of aur church and W.A. Came rain or shine she was ta be found always in ber accustomed place. For many years she was the convenor of the annual ba- zaar and until iii health compel- led ber ta lay aside needles and thread she \vas always busy sew- ing or knitting for the family and athers. It was with sorrow we paid aur last respects ta a dear fricild. Funeral service was held in Morrish United Church cnducted by Rev. Gardiner in the unavoîd- able absence of Rev. A. W. Hard- ing through sickness. The many beautiful floral tributes and large number present testified ta the love and esteem of a good neigh- bar and friend of many. The final rites of the service took place at the family plot, Prospect Cenv, eterv, Toronto, with Rev. Mr. Gardiner, the family and friends fram Port Hope and Morrish, at the interment. Visitors with Mr. and Mrs. R. .
