their industry progress was shown in relationships by the fact that during all the long days of the strike no violence was reported and no damage was done to property v birthday congratulations those who listenedon sunday evening to the cbl broadcast marking the 15th anniversary of neighborly news got a peep behind the scenes jraphy this feature has continued to grow in popularity greg clark who has such a good command of putting ones feelings injo words summed it up well we who live in those import ant places that lie outside the cities understand the importance of the little things that go to make up life the package deal that cbl prepares for each sunday morning while necessarily brief brings better understanding to rural and city subsidy is going to be a real hindrance in making a more favorable tax rate here so when the tax rate is announced for the year dont blame coun cil entirely but give the figuresome study and place blame where it rightly belongs it may be thafthe municipalities are havirigtp pay for the contract frauds on ontario highways but then you might well ask who got the big fines that were said to be imposed quilting is ousted we heartily approve of the craft and handi work classes that have been carried on this year in the high schools- of acton milton and george town our approval comes from the fact that it has moved most of the fuss and mess from the home to school there was a time not many years ago when quilting and hooking rugs was a popular home occupation for the housewife the frames were big and awkward and they required one whole room wlflch was usually the most convenient and most used room in the house there were the quilting bees that provided fine social gatherings for friends and neighbors when the job was finished the
