Mrs. John Dancey's vivid narra. tion of two chapters of the study book "Great in the Ccmpany", was enjoyed. The African language has no word meaning love, which is used so many times in the greatest of all books, the Bible, said the speaker, and so, to introduce and teach its fullest significance meant a great deal of roundabout work for the teachers. They told stories of the Christ Child around camp. fires under a tropical moon and gradually won the people away from their queer superstitions. To illus. trate the whiteness of snow, which the natives had never seen, the feather of an eaglet was used. Miss Margaret Wyman played two piano selections, "Gloaming", and a Brahms Waltz, Mrs. Morley Wyman gave a report of the morning session, and Mrs. James MacDonald gave one of the afternoon programs of the 20th an- nual Oshawa Presbyterial W.M.S. meeting held in St, Paul's United Church, Bowmanville, last' week.

"Allamen right to the corners all!" "Swing your partners!" Come to the Athol Street Scout Hall to-night and thrill again to the old-time dances and the sound of the old-time "caller", and the ld-time fiddler. The credit for re- | viving the square dance is due to the Boy Scouts of Oshawa. They offer the opportunity to one and all to come over any Saturday ev- ening. So those of you who have been missing the old "squares," and those of you who have always wanted to learn, here is your chance. . Make a date with your best gal or your best pal, tonight, and treat yourself to an evening of the most fun you've had in years. Don't get the idea, you jitter- bugs that in order to enjoy square dancing you have to be a "square" or "old folks!" Not on your life! If you've ever taken part in a square dance, you will realize that a young constitution, and a hardy one is needed "to take it." Believe me, the jitterbug has nothing on the square dance when it comes to fun and action! A number of young people have expressed the desire to come and learn the intricacies of the dance as grandmother and gradad used to do it. Just to add further attraction, there will also be modern dancing. The boys and their leaders have just begun their project, and would be glad of any assistance offered in the way of music, instruction or calling. Of course, any aid will] necessarily have to be voluntary as whatever is realized financially from these dances will be used in furthering Boy Scout work in Osh- | awa. So far there have been two danc- es in Oshawa. Mr. Ray Greentree and Mr. Dick Genge of Osahwa, have done the calling for the reels and polkas and the "swing your partners." Last Saturday evening, Mr. Wilf. Smith lent his talents as pianist to the party. It is hoped that as time goes on . . . not too far on, folks . . . those who can play old-time fiddles, a guitar, or an accordian will volunteer to come out, once in a while, and help these lads to make their dance a success. be on hand each Saturday night to assist with checking coats, selling soft drinks, and any odd jobs. The amplifying systém in use has been donated by the Kiwanis Club of Oshawa. The dancing starts at 8.30 p.m. For further information you may contact 'Mr, George Wot- ton, president ,of the Boy Scout Committee, So come one! Come all! "Make mine country style."

TERRIBLE TOLL If Canadians could read battle casualty lists for illness, they would be shocked. Except when it strikes in one's own home, peacetime death seems so remote -- because it usu- ally. lacks the fpectacular. Yet -- during the war year, alone, Cana- da lost more civilians than fight- ing men! The tragedy is that most of this loss was precentable, and public health authorities are at- tempting to arouse Canadians to the practice of security measures to ward off consinuing attacks of our most deadly foe--disease, HOUSEHOLD HINTS If you are washing a colored garment for the first time, you can determine whether or not it is colorfast by washing ic by it- self.

PACKAGES OF PURITY | VITAL VICTUALS Most people know that there is danger in violent exercise, in mid- dle -age, but, ask health authorities, how many older people realize there may be a danger-factor in diet, too? Experts say that it is very important for a person in the mid- | dle years to maintain normal, or sligtly below normal, weight. Other= wise the heart and other vital or- gans may be overtaxed. Those who find that they are putting on weight should cut down on starchy and fatty foods. They are urged to turn, instead, to such things as millz, green vegetables and whole grains, riage to Mr. George Tresise will take place this Saturday.
