Correspondent Pickering, April 23--The Picker- ing Women's Institute held its clos- ing session of the Spring Handi- craft Classes last week, with a good attendance. 'The program opened with a sing-song, led by Mrs. W. F. Baker, accompanied by Mrs. W .C. Murkar, Mrs. H. C. Hutchison, introduced Joseph Banigan, the guest speaker of the evening. He stressed the fact that handicrafts are five-fold, namely, art, education, recreation, therapy, economics or inductry. Mr. Banigan showed examples of weaving, woodcraft, pewter and silverwork. The slogan contest was won by Mrs. J. Wade. Mrs. R. Sommerville gave a travelogue on her recent trip to Florida. Mrs. W. Snider showed films on Florida both of which were enjoyed. Oliver Stalter was present and told of the assistance, the group might receive, if they decided to hold classes again in the fall. The exhibition of sewing, and handicraft which included stuffed dogs, shellcraft, mossasins and purses, accomplished during the ten weeks' course, speaks well of the talents within the community. Library Plans Canvass A canvass of Pickering Village for funds to purchase books and meet other expenses will be made by the board of Pickering Public Library during the week of May 1 to May 8. Already many of the village and surrounding district have taken ad- 'vantage of the fine reading facili- tes offered by our library and it is hoped that others may be enticed to the same. If you are the type, who just hasn't time to read a book, there are plenty of the most popular magazines available. This alone 'saves you the price of a year's mem- bership. For those who like books, there is fiction and non-fiction to meet' every desire. When a canvas- ser calls at your home during the week of the campaign, plase help the library, yourself and the com- munity by giving what you can. Funeral services were held yes- terday for one of Pickering's well known residents, in the person of Alexander Gordon, who. passed away at his home south of Picker- ing on Wednesday morning. He was in his 83rd year. Born at Pickering, he spent all his life here, living with his parents on the farm, later marrying the for- mer Lillian Isobella Turnbull and settling on the same farm where he resided until his death. A member of St. George's Angli- can Church, he took an interest in the community, but his chief inter- est was farming. He is the last of a generation*of one of Pickering's original families, seven brothers and sisters having predeceased him. Surviving are his wife, a daugh- ter, Mary (Mrs. Chris Fair) both at home. ' The funeral was held from the home with Rev. E. G. Robinson of- ficlating, with interment in Ers- kine Cemetery. To Offer In Ballet Barbara Cook, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Cook of French- man's Bay is one of the members of the Volkoff Canadian Ballet, that will journey to Winnipeg for a featured spot an a Festival bill- ing. The Winnipeg Ballet is spon- soring the festival, the first ever held in Canada. As it is at present all ballet dancers must leave our country to make a living at this profession. Besides this Toronto group, there will be companies from Montreal, Vancouver and Winni- peg. Barbara, who has been studying ballet at the Volkoff school of the dance, for nearly thirteen years will be one of the younger members of the group and hopes to make the ballet, her life work. Best of luck to you Barbara. Peter Hackett and Robt. Arm- strong were in an accident, east of Dunbarton village on Sunday even- ing, when their westbound car, went into the north ditch, and rebound- ed over into the south ditch. Arme strong suffered a possible broken arm and Hackett received face la- cerations. This Sunday Pickering Township will go on Daylight Saving Time Floods Sweep Manitoba and Alberta Not an uncommon sight these days are these 'children at St. Jean, Man., riding to schoo} in a farm wagon, axle deep in flood waters which are sweeping Manitoba and Alberta. along with most other places in the province. The ministers here make the announcement that all church- es will be on D.S.T. this Sunday, so don't forget to shove the clock ahead an hour, come Saturday night. On Extended Tour Forbes McEwen, son of Dr. N. F. and Mrs. McEwen of Pickering is at present taking a very interesting trip through the United States and Western Canada. Starting out with two other:-companiong they ran into a jeep, somewhere down in Illinois. Leaving the wrecked car, Forbes and one of the other boys decided to hitchhike, wheih they did, beat- ing the bus some hundreds of 'miles in the journey. They have touched Vancouver and when last heard of were heading south into the States again. Forbeg 'is an employee of the Dominion Bank at Whitby Someone said that the early bird gets the worm and others say that planting vegetables too soon in the spring gets the frost. No matter how corny this expression may sound, it is all too true. Several in the village have got their gardens in, while others are waiting lest the frost catch up with them, and leave them to plant all over again. Farmers are pleased with the pros- pects of warm weather, and many report that they are already be- hind with their spring seeding. Quite a number attended the John Walsh sale at Pickering on "Wednesday and the Stone Dean farm auction at Dunbarton this af- ternoon. It js also expected there will be a big crowd at the Hermit- age Farm auction on Monday next. During the past week, there have been several sales, which make the items we ran last week, look as if we iy know what we were talking bout. Actually the sales here are nothing compared with Scarboro and Markham ownships. Hear Historic Talk The Brock Road Home and School met last Monday, when Wm. C. Murkar, editor of the Pickering News, addressed the gathering on "Past Days in Pickering", at which he reviewed much of the growth of the township from its early days to the present. Silas Toole of Picker- ing Township was also in attend- ance and gave a talk containing valuable information, which he had received from his study of the ha- bits of birds. Mr. Toole is a mem- ber of the Pickering Township Game Committee and takes an ac- tive interest in this subject. Several members of the Doric Lodge here, journeyed to Oshawa last Tuesday night to meet with the Oshawa Masons. The local of- ficers did the degree work.'
