RE a BEAR 38S BEATER WHITBY NEWS Senior Castle hapter "On Monday evening, Mach 23 the members of the Senior Castle Chapter, Ontario Ladies College Alumnae met in the Common Room of the college. Mrs. W. E. G. Summers president, conducted a brief business meeting and wel- comed the members of the Jun- jor Chapter who were guests for the meeting. Miss M. H. Sissons, MA in a most interesting manner introduc- ed her friend, Mrs. E. J. Pratt Toronto as the guest spaker of the evening. Miss Sissons emphasized the privilege it was to hear Mrs. tt, who had chosen as her sub- Ject "Canadian Women Novelists." After reviewing quickly the rath- er surprising number and diversity of Canadian women writers from Susanna Moodie to Gwethalyn Gra- ham, and pointing out the impos- sibility of any adequate treatment in a single evening's program, Mrs. Pratt revealed her decision to se- lect for special consideration one French and one English writer, both of outstanding talent, winners of distinguished prizes, Mme. Germaine Guevremont and Miss Mazo de la Roche. Speaking from intimate contact with both, Mrs. Pratt introduced her friends in a manner so vivid as to give each member of the group a feeling of personal ac- uaintance. Mme. Guevremont she escribed as one who began to write almost in spite of herself, but who displays a rich talent for characterization, description and original metaphor. Mrs. Pratt read in translation from The Outlander a passage of great power and beauty, painting in muted colours stark scenery of late Autumn a northern lake. Miss de la Roche she disclosed as a 'born writer," resourceful in plot, excelling in characterization, very successful in portrayal of cil- dren and animals. Even those who heartily detest the family of Jalna and their doings must admire the amazing invention which has car- ried the Whiteoaks all over the world in. dozens of languages, and devised a saga unique in English, or in any literature. Mrs. Pratt concluded a fascinat- address, to which her own vivacity and fluency of expression gave special charm, with a brief reading from Mark Twain's Huckle- berry Finn which she considers a touchstone of truth in literature, and she closed with the wish that 'some day something like that 'would be written in Canada, and, when it was, she hoped that it would be written by a woman. Mrs. R. G. Grabb thanked the speaker for her most interesting and informative address. Mrs. Bas- com and Mrs. Osborne presided at the tea table while Mrs. Carroll her committee served lunch. Both chapters were thrilled when Mrs. D. Wilson of Brooklin presi- dent of the Junior Group asked the Dean, May "Carter to come forward. On behalf of the Junior Chapter, Mrs. Wilson presented three gorgeous blue velvet capes for the May Queen and her two councillors to be worn when chilly winds sweep the college grounds on May Day; Miss Carter thanked the Junior Chapter for the beauti- ful and timely gift. Miss Hagel Warfolk then thanked Mrs. Sum- mers and the Senior Group for the hospitality and entertainment of the evening.

The preacher was Rev. Harold Hesketh, rector of St. Paul's Anglican Church in Lindsay, To- * Lake Skippers Rush Navigation Opening By THE CANADIAN PRESS Impatient Great Lakes skippers, intent on breaking spring, aren't letting regulations stop them in their eagerness to open the navigation s n. With United States and Canadian buoy tenders only half finished laying, the St. Lawrence river and its five connecting inland seas are cluttered with the vanguard of the world's largest freshwater fleet, six days before the official opening of navigation. At Sault Ste. Marie, the freighter Sir Thomas Shaughnessy ignored U.S. Coast Guard orders that no ships enter the St. Mary's river before Saturday. Capt. A. R, Irvine sailed his ship up the river Thursday, took on coal at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. and locked through the Canadian side of the ship canal after re- ceiving "first freighter" honors, all despite a running radio conversa- tion with coast guard officials who demanded he stop. Farther down the St. Mary's river, four lakers hesitated with steam up, undecided whether to make the dash through the link between Lake Huron and Lake Superior. One, the Mohawk Deer, was stranded by ice through Wednes- day night, but freed herself Thurs- day and proceeded to De Tour, records this | Mich ich. The only ice reported in the upper lakes lies in Whitefish bay in Lake Superior. However, U.S. Coast Guard cutters are breaking it up. Once a path is cleared, open water will extend from Montreal to the Lakehead. ' Lower Lake navigation got un- der way two weeks ago with the arrival at Toronto of the perennial early bird, the sandsucker Charles Dick. However, the Imperial Wind- sor ran 20,000 barrels of fuel oil from Toronto to Cobourg Thurs- day, officially opening the Lake On- tario port's commercial season, three weeks ahead of 1952. Canada Steamship Lines officials at Toronto and Kingston report crews aboard and many of their craft ready to sail. Upper Lakes and St. Lawrence Transportation vessels have engine room artifi- cers at work and expect to slip within a week. Owen Sound and Midland, where many of the lanky grain carriers winter, report harbor activity at a peak. A few ships have already headed out into Georgian bay while others are expected to leave for the Lakehead as soon as pas- sage at the Sault is guaranteed. Legion here who served in the first great war and had occasion to visit London recall seeing the late Queen on state and other occasions and on visits to the Canadian forces. LADIES' CIGARETTE LEAGUE NEWS League standing with three morrow night, Dr. W. N. Mustard lead of Toronto will preach in St. An- drew's Presbyterian Church here. Rev. James Harvey welcomed the guest speaker, pointing out that the purpose of these special services is to strengthen Christian fellowship and for meditation prior to Easter. Rev. R. J. Scott con- ducted the service while the church choir was under the direc- tion of Mrs. V. K. Rowe, Taking as his text the words of Colossians 3:4: "Christ who is our life,"" Mr. Hesketh said that one of the greatest discoveries in Chris- tian experience is that mankind cannot live the Christian life by it- self. The conception of the Chris- tian life is complex and it means many sng to many ple. But most of all, the Christian life is centred in.a Person, Christ who is the life. It thus becomes necessary for Christians to express the Christian life. Christ's characteristics must become our characteristics and Christs's Victory must become our Victory. When this is achieved there is a beauty evident in charac- ter for to see. The Victory of Christ is a com- plete victory over the world, the flesh and the devil. Mr. Hesketh ended- this message with a plea for all professing Christians to express Christ's life through their own. Whitby Mourns The Passing Of Beloved Queen Flags are at half mast on the Court House, the post office, the Town Hall, Légion hall, the Lib- rary and other buildings as sym- bols of mourning for the late Dow- ager Queén Mary. Many citizens will recall viewing the wonderful carpet, made over a period of years by the late Queen, which was exhibited in the Legion Hall two years ago by Viscount Greenwood Chapter IODE and which was later purchased by the National. organization for .$100,00 and presented to the National Mus- eum at Ottawa. Visitors from the national headquarters at that time commented most favorably on the manner in which the carpet was displayed here, and on the large number who came to see it.

With a grinding and a crunching of metal against stone and steel, the top sedans were nicely decapitated. Happily, the driver was unhurt. NO EASY JOB These occurences are fortunately few and far between but they serve as a tonic, when drivers are congregated in their favorite cof- fee houses, to relieve the tensions that are built up during the hours on the road. The task of a transport driver is no easy one.- True, there have been vast changes in their lives in the past several years in re- gards to hours and the length of hauls. No longer are they obliged to spend the long wearisome hours away from their homes and fam- ilies as was the case years ago. The long tiresome hauls are all a thing of the past. Most companies now operate under a system of split runs. This enables a driver to make a complete trip in the course of a working day. Like you and I and our Uncle Harry, they work an eight-hour day and are paid as much if not more, than the better paid industries. There are some things that can- not be changed. The weather which is still the drivers' worst enemy, continues to throw the rain and the sleet, the snow and the storm, the ice and the fog into the paths of the mighty monsters of the road. And they in turn, con- tinue to meet the challenge and convey their cargoes come what may. And so a salute to the men who form an unbroken chain of con- stantly moving merchandise from one metropolis to another, and par- ticularly to the men who listened to my ceaseless chatter for 700 very enjoyable miles. PRINCE ALBERT W.A. to Purchase Church Tables F. E. SMITH Correspondent PRINCE ALBERT -- Some 14 members attended the March meet- ing of the Prince Albert Women's Association, on Wednesday after- noon, in the Sunday School room of the church. The president, Mrs. B. Smith, 406 | was in the chair and following the first hymn a moment's silence was held in honor of the late Dowager Queen Mary and all repeated the Lord's Prayer. One item of business was to ap- point a committee to see about purchasing two much needed tables for the Sunday School and other work. Many helpful household hints were given when the roll was call- ed. A very interesting letter was read from Miss Ruby Wilson, mis- sionary in Nigeria describing wea- ther conditions, how she took her car with her from Canada and an incident in the life of a black boy concerning his jnarrises.

Wylie and next meet- ing will be in charge of Group 1. Group No. 1 now Includes Mrs. L. Bond, Miss E. Vance, Miss E. Spence, Mrs. Alvin Hunter, Mrs. J. Doupe, Mrs. L. Beacock and Mrs. B. Smith.

The Or- ange Lodge at Pontypool on Satur- day night, March 21, sponsored a dance to help raise money for this hard working group of women, and an overflow crowd turned out to show their interest and support. The dance was held in the Orange Hall and the amount cleared was Ruth Wilson and her Variety Band who started the ball rolling for the Auxiliary at a dance in the Legion Hall, Bowmanville, early in February, were in attend- ance at the Pontypool festivities, and a very good time was enjoy- ed by all. The Women's Hospital Auxiliary is greatly pleased at the quick and generous way in which various communities around Bowmanville are responding to the Auxiliary's needs. An account of the work done and material supplied by the Auxiliary during 1952, given elsewhere in this issue, shows how worthwhile, in- deed indispensable, is this organ- ization, one good reason or Sav] ng...
