PAGE FIVE | --_-- HE CHURCH AND THE ORGAN The Church is like an organ great, Each member is a key. nd yet, if some are not in tune, What discord there will be. Some sharp, some flat, some out of pitch, . Each member still a key; But oh! the jangled, rasping notes In place of melody. Blest Holy Spirit, take our lives, -Bach member tune to key; ord bend our wills, till from the pain Thou'lt perfect harmony, e Church is like an organ great, Each member then a key; Whe: artist blends so rich a chord? God plays the symphony. Some music captivates the soul, Each member so in key, hat hardened, sinful hearts will melt And yield their lives to Thee. --Fred Jackson.

Costume Accessories By VERA WINSTON Spruce up your late summer cos- tumes with a new hat, a pair of gloves or shoes which will carry you successfully into early autumn. The accessories shown here 'give more than a hint of things to come. Very much in the mode is the pro- file hat. This one is of raspberry colored felt with multi-colored felt strips forming the head hand, which slips through the turned-up brim and ends in a long tassel. The gauntlet is a two-colored combins ation with kid front and suede back. Multi-colored suede strips pull through the wrist and tie in a bow. The brown kid pump boasts the new wooden spiral heel, Whitby Flower-Lover Has Rare Laburnum Mrs. A. Hall who came from To- ronto 11 years ago and who lives with her brother, Mr. George M. Whitelaw, at 206 Albert Street, has always been a lover of flowers. The English Laburnum, a shrub that is extremely rare in this coun- try is one of her proudest posses- sions and blooms by the side of the house in company with a mass of other varieties. She received a seed of this variety from @ friend in England in 1938 and nursed it carefully in the house, fearing that it did not have the hardiness of the Canadian shrubs. Last year she re-planted it out- doors and watched it grow till its present height of about four and one half feet. It was necessary to keep it covered carefully through the winter months as the frost is much more severe here than in Eng- land. She said that the regular blooming of this shrub starts about May 1st, but the first flowers appeared on it here about three weeks ago. Seed pods are also @ppearing and many friends are waiting for the seed to start shrubs of their own. The Laburnum looks something like a rose bush and the flowers are small and yellow, and have the ap- peareaace somewhat of a garden sweet pea. I.O.F.

Right after birth you lost some weight- e you'd like to now---regeining all of it In -- mayb should happen to ycu today! You tripled your birth-weight in a year. In the secona year of your life, you gained half a pound a month--sometimes this happens to | you now. And irom your third to sixth year, you put on about five pounds &anually. At the age of eleven, you were 'en times as heavy as you were on the day someone said of you, "It's a boy!" or "It's a girl!" Perhaps you ore not an aver- age person nor care to be; but if you are, you are 'wenty times your birth-weight now. You Grew Swiftly In case you wera an average baby, your length at birth was about twenty inches; just two inches more than half a yard, which you increas-~ ed by ten inches by working at it for a year. Three more years passed before you were twice as long (high) as when you uttered your first cry. At birth your stomach held one ounce; six ounces, six months later. And you had about 270 bones when you were born, with only 208 of them now. . You have only about twice as much brain now as you had when you were born, and your brain at present is no bigger than it was when you were seven or eight years old. A boy this age wears a hat about as big as he will ever wear. And those eye-balls of yours, big and round, had about their present | infant i: A | light. In two months he will be able about two weeks. You doubled your | weight in five months. What if that | + size when you were only eighteen months of age, believe it or not. Says Dr. John E.

Can See Colors "Because of the infant's inability to speak, it is difficult to determin the moment at which he first dis- tinguishes color, but there is evi: dence that even at the age of nine months some sensitivity to color is present. There is clear indication that by the age of two yews color discrimination is present. "Shortly after birth, infants re- act to heat and cold and to pres- sure and pain.

DISHES AMUSE SCOTTISH WAR GUESTS DOLLS' Invited to the table at a local "clearing house" for "war guests," eight little girls began laughing after grace had been said. The young woman in whose special care they had been put inquired: "Why, the merriment? What is the joke?" "It's nothing," they assured her. "We were just having fun." Un- convinced, she listened, at discrete distance, to their conversation, when one of them said: "De ye think they'll no be gie- ing us a beeg meal on these wee plates--these doll's dishes?"
