[Rally of Oshawa Preshyterial Ww.aMs The autumn sally of the Western Section 'of the Oshawa Presbyterial of the Woman's Missionary Society was held in Myrtle United Church on ~Wednesday;--October25th,-- Mra--A: R. Wilson, 2nd Vice-President, presi- ded at both sessions. The Port Perry Afternoon and Ev- ening Auxiliaries in the morning wor- [ship service expressed the thought, Christ for the world not an after- thought but Christ's forethought. Informative reports were given by the various secretaries. The guest speaker for the morning session was Miss Susan Smyth, To- ronto. Miss Smyth has had wide ex- perience in 'many Canadian centres among the New Canadians. Many \| and interesting have been the exper- iences. and friendships shared. A 'Latvian widow arrived here with two | children; with het she brought a loom made in the camp in Germany; she hoped to be able to make &: living by weaving. On a more recent visit to this home Miss, Smyth was presented with a brightly woven cushion top which had been woven in the German! camp. From this Miss Smyth took her simile 'Canadian Tapestry.' - The {Warp' composed of strong worsted thread is the North American Indian, the: French, and Engilsh 'who settled here years ago. The 'Woof' is the immigrants now coming to Canada. Their creative spirit has been kept J alive 'even while in-exile and they are bringing with them many - gifts and' accomplishments of music 'and handi- crafts such as metal, leather and wood work as well as weaving, Continuing the simile, the four heddle bars, the raising and lowering of which make lit possible to form the pattern are the home, school, church tand com- munity; all are needed to make a perfect pattern. Christian friend- A hip gnd neighbourliness must be prac. iced by us all that the pattern may grow, God placed a tremendous res- ponsibility on us who have nat been hit by bombs and we must be villing to face up-to it. - 'The President of Oshawa Prefby- terial, Mrs.' T. Norton, Locust Hill, brought a message on advance, Em- phasis was plated on the need: for: 1. More members 3 2. More women for officers + 8.

Rarely do more than one-third of those eligible to vote bother: about casting a ballot. In such a situation, "representa- tive" government becomes a mockery. Successful candidates represent only a'smail minority of citizens, It niakes wonderful propaganda for the Communists «and their crowd. us_don't think our system of life is fzood enough to preserve. 'But why don't these half-citizens go through thie simple procedure of voting on election day? Obviously they don't realize the importance of the secret ballot as a keystone of democracy. They have- n't been instilled with the fundameit- als of true citizenship and the duties it4nvolves. And the place they should have learned about it is in school. The schools, in Toronto at least,' are awakening to the challenge, You won't find citizenship on the- cutrri- culum as 'é@ subject to be dissected and memorized, but it's there--it comes out in history lectures, in geography, civies and many other ways. To stress the importance of the jeet 'in a more tangible way, Toronto's Board of Education has decided that 'the week beginning November 13 will It is hoped that the idea of such an observance will spread to _ other groups in the city. : Citizenship Week will emphadize, for tomorrow's voters, the -import- ance of the ballot. It will stress in a variety of ways that democracy, to survive, must be struggled for. should do to be a worthy member. of his community. - | The theme will be carried out in Murs, Love - 'told of the mir-|- They can point to us and say most of | be citizenship Week in the schools.

The pamph- let places citizenship in its proper con- text and explains what it means in a democracy.. The other 1,000 copies are for general distribution. - Week will help to bring out. more voters on civie election day December 4th. They hope that students will tell their parents about what they have learned, especially about the import. ance of voting: Many" of the students will get a chance to sce democracy in action on election day. Polling booths have al- ways been set up in schools, but until this year -voting was on New Year's Aay, when no students were around, This year many students will be asked by 'teachers to observe what takes place in the room where voting is conducted, ------------- -- Visiting Librarians| Guest of Staff and Board. (Oshawa Times) The Board and Staff of the Public Library. entertained librarians from many parts of tlie province in the li- brary on Wednésday afternoon. Gay Hallowe'en decorations, displays of new books and colourful book lists gave a holiday atmosphere to the-li- brary. Publishers too, had attractive displays to show the visiting librar- ians. A meeting of the circulation divi- sion of the Ontario Library Associa- tion was held in the Boys' and Girls' Department, The subject was one of great importance to librarians; "The 1 Technique and Tools for' Ordering Books". Mrs. Adams from the Ham- ilton Public Library, and Mrs. Young, Librarian of the Oakville Public Li- brary, gave interesting addresses on this subject. Miss Ella Milloy of To- ronto--and vice- Chairman of the Cir- culation Section, O0.L.A.-- acted as chairman for the meeting. Tea was served by the Library Board and Staff after the meeting.
