As small as a match stick said Knarf. "Everything ther, Things look very strange." "I don't see why they should", you might make yourself as small as else remains the same size. Nothing Everything said Hanid. "Even though a match stick, everything changes but you. should look exactly the same." "Well, it doesn't)' said Knarf. "While I was taking my small walk, I went into the parlor. The table looked like a big tree and all the legs Of the chairs standing together looked like poles. The sofa looked mountain, and the carpet like thick grass. I'didn't recog: nize the room at all. But strangest thing happened T climbed on one of the chairs. Hanid wanted to know wha happened. "Well," like Knarf went on, chair and reached just to air I went, higher and higher And all of a sudden!" "Yes?" said Hanid. "All of a sudden, I did a som ersault and landed on something that gave a lound sound." "Was it the cat?" asked Han id! Knarf shook his head. "No, i wasn't anything alive. It wa like a long sidewalk." "A sidewalk!" "Yes" said Knarf, long ways. "But it was all full of cracks. saw a I had to step At every step I took, I long crack that ov thing," said Knarf.

The date for this exhibition" depends on the out- come of the match to be played Friday and Saturday at the Carlton Club, Toronto, between the team and Canada's all champion team. If Canada hands the invaders a licking, then the match will follow in Oakville, If the shuttle bang- ers from India are winners they will go to play the Yanks in Pasadena first, returning to play here. The club will be open to the public for the match at a nominal charge of fifty cents. Night Safety A safety measure which wil find favour with parents will be inaugurated by the newly form- ed Oakville Optimists Club, Sat- urday, whena special commit- tee headed by Jim Cooke will undertake to paint rear fenders on the bikes of all town child- ren. "We'll use a special reflector paint containing multiple glass spheres, similar to that used by the Department of Highways on caution signs", explained Opti- mist Jack Barrett. "It's a free service, and we'll do the job for any boy or girl in town." Youngsters are asked to bring their bikes to the rear of the Century theatre between 9.30 am. and 1 pm, and to have the fenders rubbed clean and ready for the luminous application. The club is stepping up tick- et sales Tor it's gala theatre nights, to be held in the Greg- ory theatre on December 8 and 9.

"And were there little black steps off to one side?" "That's right," said Knarf. "You were walking. keys of a piano," said "Was 1?" said Knarf. knew it.

I saw business men who were taking time off from their own enter- prises to push the campaign along. 1 chatted with doctors who enthused over the new hos- pital, I passed the time of day with farmers and stockmen. 1 talked to housewives and club women and school teachers. I discussed the campaign with civ- ic and provincial and Federal of- fice holders. I saw the youngsters at Teen Town dipping down into their treasury to pledge a cot for the nursery in the new hos- pital, I saw the same civic-mind- ed kids stencilling slogans on sidewalks and erecting banners urging support for the hospital. I. took five raffle tickets on a biscuit-and-white cocker spaniel and knew that the proceeds would go into the hospital fund. I drop- ped another contribution into a around the neck of a gigantic St. Bernard. I talked to young mothers whose children had been born in the temporary hospital on First St. I talked to patients who were lying in the hospital and to men and women who had been dis- charged, In fact, T am a walk- ing repository of opinion, ~ con- jecture, and ,argument, all of it bearing upon the new hospital, and very, very little of it not favourable. So I walked up Reynolds St. to look at the new hospital site. To discover workmen busy as gophers in the excavation. That signified confidence in the out- come of the campaign. I added that confidence onto the opinion, conjecture and ar- gument I had heard and began to wonder about the campaign. All the effort and ingenuity and dogwork seemed unnecessary. So I asked one of the men who have been divorcing their ef- forts and talents from their own businesses to groom the: hospital campaign why so much energy had been expended to -sell an idea. The man laughed. "Look," he said, "this hospital is so badly needed here and is so vital to a growing district like this, that we just cant take a chance on the "campaign failing. So, liter- ally scores of us have just dug in to make sure it doesn't fail. It must not fail for the com munity's good." That seemed to be the answer. But the man wasn't finished. "You just can't take anything for granted these days he said, gathering up an armful of store window displays. "Look - what happened to Dewey, and to the Ottawa Roughriders!"
