Seems lik« last week we were resting up from New Year's' Fvc and actually the month is half gone. Well the teen clubs around the province keep busy just the same. Snow storms or zero weather can't stop them. This week we have the rcijdiis ui M llvcrton and Col- bourne. You will noti. that they men- tio.i their Christmas activities. The nails held up their copy and that is why it is a little late gettins in. Why Do You Like That Band? Why do you like that band ? For the best letter on your favourite band â- nd why you lik» it, we will give i free, Personally Autographed Pic- ture of Vaughn Monroe. Now gang, this letter must not contain more than 75 words, and must be in our hands â-  t later than Jan. 30th. That,^ gives most ot you two weeks, so take your pen in hand a«d tell us all •bout your favourite band. By the way, this picture was really auto- graphed in person, by V'aughan, be- cause he used my pencil to sign it and I WIS standing beside him when he did it. Next month, for a letter on another entertainer you all know, we will have another swell auto- graphed picture. Write Barry Mur- kar, Pickering, Ont. TEEN-TOWN REPORTERS Colboume â€" Beverlie Wilson â€" 3Imas week has been so busy. First of all 1 should mention that our diorar group gave a free evening of entertainment in the Town Hall and nng Xmas carols and Christmas â- ohgs. I must add it was a great â- nccess. The day after Xmas, we held our Keen Klub dance in the •chool. So far our Keen Klub has kind of fallen down, but we were pleased with this dance - we had about 7G people there We decorated fte school, bought prizes etc. We •old cokes at the dance and made a 5 cent profit on every bottle. Also, since it was a special dance, we charged twenty-five cents admission and altogether we took in twenty- flve dollars which was verv wonder £nl. Milverton â€" Eva Loney â€" On Christmas eve, the Keen-Teenj tang Christmas carols at the homes of all the shut-ins in the town (nice going kids, B.M.) under the leader- ship of Councillor Isabel Mac Betl» Several card games were enjoyed at the home of Edith Ranney after the carol singing. A delicious lunch was served by the hostess and her assist- ants. The holidays have been spent in redecorating the two rented rooms which we have obtained for our location. .Although we didn't know much about papering, we en- joyed it anyway. That's all. Beverlie Has a Problem Beverlie Wilson, our correspond- ent of Colboiirne, writes that she has a very tough problem. Seems like Bev and her girl friend are in charge of the dances for their teen club down there. Their trouble is this: They would like any of our readers to write and give them any ideas they have for new dances, Bev says they haven't the nerv< to have an- other Paul Jones, soap dance, lemon dance or broom dance. Bev writes also that she would be glad to give any teener an\ idea she has, if they will help her out. lot down the dances you have had at your club and send them along to Beverlie Wil- son, rolhournc. Out. We Let Him Get Away The ^^'.:l\^ readers of this column will consider us the dope of the Year . . . And Thereby Hang a Dozen Tails â€" Pinky the cat isn't trying to get in the act. He just wants to sample that saucer of milk, despite the chorus of yelps from the two pups in the box and the 12 newly-washed ones drying on the line. The 14 foundlings were discovered under a barn and n ow await adoption. when we tell them that the famous hockey man, Charlie Conacher, lives in our town and we didn't interview him. Now it's too late for this year. He has just been appointed, coach of the Chicago Black Hawks and also is being considered for the post of the "Best Coach of "47-48". How- ever, we'll get him next season, when he gets home again. If you are a regular listener of Ozzie and Harriett and have wond- ered what has happened to them, just turn the dial to CFRB at 9.30 p.m., on Friday evenings and you w*'l find them at 1847 Rogers Road. A Last Reminder Be sure and enter our letter contest. Processing and not the time of picking, determines whether tea is green or black.

When, the man recovered a bit. he asked what had happened. "Well, sir, you had a very bad smash," said the landlord, "but 1 managed to bring you to." "Did you?" murmured the dam- aged one. "I don't remember. Do .von mind bringing me two more?" CraONlCLES OF GINGER FARM By Gwendoline P Clarke We ha-.e experienced our first real snowstorm of the winter. It caused some inconvenience but com- pared with other parts of the pro- vince it was nothing. Our new high- way is practically bare, but as usual there is plenty of snow in farm hines. We were listening to an ac- count of the damage done in the Windsor district w'ncn Partner re- marked â€" "The Government should do something about it I" "The Govp'-nment?" I quered in* surprise. "Sure," Partner answered, "Most of us look to the govemtnent to solve all our prohcms, why not the wea- ther? It should stop the snowâ€" turn it to rain, or do something about it .â- \ny\vay I wouldn't inind hctting the time will come when country snowplouphs will be required to open up all farm lanes alona with the roads." Probably many farmers w:ll sayâ€" ".And that wouldn't be such a had idea .'" In the meantime cars are getting stuck in farm lanes and on back concessionsâ€" snow or no snow we must run our cars as usual. Everyone is up-to-date except Old Man Winter and he is just as old- fashioned as ever, ^^akes one won- der who is out of step â€" we. the peo- ple, or the Master of the Universe. • « « But 1948 has brought us more than snowstorms to think about â€" or shall we say a storm of a different na- ture because it looks as if we are going to be snowed under by even higher prices. .And this storm will surely be a liousewife's headache. There was a thought-provoking paragraph in this paper last week suggesting that we stop worrying about world affairs, attend to our own business and in that way many of our problems would solve them- selves. They were truly words of wisdom and if followed would do a lot more good than "beefing" about the government or the Marshall plan. Take these new high prices: Two more cents a gallon on gas . . . but a little thought, a bit more walking and the amount we pay out for gas woud not be one bit more than be- fore. Pork â€" an increase of two to ten cents a pound. That means our good old standbys â€" sausage and pork chops -will be luxury goods. But we don't have to buy them. .\ fifteen cent soup bone is more nourishing and will give an average family one good meal. Lard, too, will be up. Less pie, cakes and cookies is the answer to that. Butter â€" we did very well on our wartime ration, why not return to k voluntarilv? '« • • As 1 see it, one reason for (he high cost of food is our over-high standard of living. I remember, as a child, my mother often gave ns kids brown sugar, moistened with a little milk for desert! .And we ne- ver had butter AND jam. it was always butter OR jam. On toast we invariably used beef, sausage or ba- con dripping. And, of course, for breakfast, there was always por- ridgeâ€"never any fancy cereal. Or- dinary vegetables and fresh fruit â€" bananas, apples and orangesâ€" sup- plied our vitamins, even though vi- tamins by name were strangers to us. Wiiat meat we had was mostly in the form of roast beef, stews or mtitton. Fresh bread was never al- lowedâ€"it had to he at least a day old. Eggs were boiled or poached, never fried . . . e.\-cept as a treat when we had bacon, li was a good, plain, simple diet A. return to it might do much towards lowering the cost of livina. But how to do it? » • • Our laniilifs now are used to the best of everything on the table. What glum looks tlicre would be if Mother suddenly saidâ€" "Oh no you can't have butter and marmalade, and certainly you can't have butter on your vegetables." Yes, the housewife will surely have to economise but unt:l families earn to co-operate it will doubtless have to be camouflaged economy. If only there were a housewives' un- ion, tlie members of which would say to their husbandsâ€" "Never mind striking for higher wages â€" we'll live a little plainer and m.ike dp with what we're geting." • That would work faster than any eo\cr:inient ac!i'~n.
