We also saw students' settle- ments, workers' apartments, a mother and child welfare institute and an ag- ricultural scientific institute.

We did not expect to find a capital city without slums, with wide streets, modern buildings and fine parks, top- ped by really magnificent parliament buildings. The new republic of Fin- land was set up in 1917, with a pre- sident, an elected assembly of two hundred members and an executive who are not members of the govern- ing body. Since that time great effort has been made to build up the republic but strife exists between the Swedes who are the minority and Finns. Both languages are used with the Finnish clearly in the ascendency as was shown by the recent passing of a bill which provides that only those who survive a very severe test in the Finnish language may enter the national university. There are separate schools for all grades below university for the two peoples. Street names, posters, stamps and signs are all written in both languages. The Finnish name which is used for Hel- singfors is Helsinki. Finland offers three attractions to the visitors; excellent and ridiculously low-priced accomodations, a variety of fine handicrafts and the famed Finnish bath. Our spacious room, really a sitting room and bedroom combined, entered through two sets of double doors, with hot and cold water on tap, telephone, etc. cost approx- imately two dollars a day, with meals. The food was quite similar to Swedish and the national drink which is called schnaps, is the same. Scandinavian countries specialize in coffee which is served at the first meal and in the afternoon. When We asked about handicrafts the hotel clerk proudly told us to go to the departmental store, "the largest store in the North." We did and there found woven and knitted goods in gay colours reasonably pric- ed, a hand woven scarf costing a- round a dollar, with handknit mitts about the same. A beautiful peasant blouse, elaborately embroidered on white crepe was priced at the equiv- alent of six of our dollars. Other attractive work included pictures made of wood, carved wooden rein- deer, articles made of reindeer bone or horn, from Lapland, beautiful pot- tery and silver.

The grape crop is considerably re- I duced this year and is now estimated j at 60 per cent, of last year. The mo- fruit is somewhat smaller than normal at t'liis time of year, particularly on vines located on poor moisture retentive soils.

In fact Fort Erie probably ranks very highly in the number of churches per 1,000 population. But it is a fact that church atten- dance has fallen off, particularly in the summer time, not only here but in most places. For this the motor car is chiefly responsible. People can travel farther and more comfort- ably than they could a score of years !ago; they are away from home more ' often and the church as a Sunday Dundalk, which are now pending.

He told us that when he felt he could not stand the heat in the steam room any longer, even with liberal quantities of cold water to drink, he rang the bell and told the Finnish woman attendant in Eng- lish to lessen the heat. Instead she turned on more until in desperation he was forced out of the room. The pressure of the needle showers he was just able with his great weight to withstand, but he feared for us. Then, he said, a very homely woman undertook to improve the circulation by smartly whacking him with gads, after which he was directed to a pool of cool water in which he found other men swimming, under the watchful eyes of the Finnish bath woman. It sounded pretty awful and we decided not to go. At the border between Finland and Russia each nation had tried to outdo the other in the way of stations, cus- toms equipment, restaurants, etc. Both buildings were beautiful and , were way beyond the needs of traffic at that particular point.

Held Scotch Doubles The Flesherton Ladies' Bowling Club held a Scotch doubles tourna- ment on Tuesday afternoon, when rinks were present from Chatsworth and Dundalk. Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Bell of the Chatsworth Bowling Club won first prize with three wins and a plus of 15; Miss Ruby Akitt and Mrs, R. B. Heard of Flesherton were second with three wins and a plus of 13, and Mrs. McAlister and Mrs. Lockhart of Dundalk took third place. Schools Opened Schools in towa commenced work on Tuesday. The junior room of the public school had twelve beginaers, with a total of 42 pupils in attendance. The senior room has 27 scholars in attendance this year. Saturday evening a meeting of the school board was held and a motion was passed for the pupils to use the old study books for this year. Misses Laura Pallett of Dixie and Bessie McLean of Lynden are the new teachers at the high school this term. Both come highly recommended. The attendance is not quite as high as last year, only about 86 being in attend- ance at present. mony a reception was held, where the bride's mother received wearing a gown of burgundy chiffon with a shoulder bouquet of sweet peas and roses. The groom's mother, who also received, wore a gown of navy blue sheer lace trim. She wore a should- er bouquet of sweet peas and roses. The bride and groom left to spend a few days at Bar Harbor and Lake- wood, whence they will later proceed to Ontario via the White Mountains. For travelling the bride wore a smart dark grey tailored suit with a black velour hat, black blouse and gloves. i On their return they will live at Kim- berley. The bride is a graduate of Toronto University and Toronto College of Education and has been on the teach- ing staff of Flesherton High School for the last four years. Ihe groom is a graduate of Toronto Normal School and at present is employed with the H.vdro Electric Power Com- mission of Ontario. As far as morning church .service is concerned, the auto plays its part in deci-easing attendance at those as well. Families planning a long Sun- day trip want to get an early start or else the car needs a little fixing up. But the car is not entirely res- ponsible.
