PAGE POUR. A record attendance at the Wo- rnen's Canadian Club hehd in St. John's Parish Hall, Feb. l8th, was no dou'bt inspired by announce- ment that Professor George Mc- Mulien, Toronto, would lecture on The Art o! Public Speaking. Pre- sident Mrs. F. S. Phillips ini her1 introduction, explained that Prof.1 McMuilen was a ecturer on his subi ect at Tononto University and other coîheges and widely known among business and prof essianal men desinous o! acquiring plat-i !orm aptitude through private tuitian. It was dischosed that he is today the only fuil-time Pro- fessor o! Public Speakirng in Canada. The address was, o! course, a masterpiece o! diction embracing ail the arts o! tone, infiection, ges- tures and rnannerisms that make the true exponent o! the English hanguage as deightfuliy appreciat- ed as the masters o! music. Indeed it was shown that these cultural avenues are allied in human ex- perience. The discaurse was not onhy a lecture but an expenience, for the speaker art! uliy induced his audience ta join with him in declaiming sehected passages and ta use hand gestures by way o! emphasis and interpretation. It became, therefone, bath a rnenýah and physical experience and as such taxed reportonial faculties which wiil be abvious to those neading this account. The technical passages in the address, so easy and natural ta the speaker, were found nevertheless ta be difficult ta expiain in writing for the oral postures necessany ta bring out the "ahs" and "ohs" o! vowels and consonants and the gestures necessary for emphasis can be truly only captured vis- ually. Particularly intriguing were the.many beautiful passages from literature selected by the speaker, who in declarnrng them, brought out his insistence that the Er.glish language can be the most perfect instrument for hurnan ex- pression throughout the world. Aside from thi# demonstrated truism, probably the highl'ight longest to be rernembered was Prof. McMuilen's belief that the 6th Chapter of Isaiah proclaiming the Holiness o! God was the most beautiful passage in ail literature and the fundamental expression o! Jewish faith. The speaker feit that no apology was necessary in quoting many passages from the Bible which he terrned the finest literature in the world. Prof. McMuflen observed in his opening remarks that speech is a thing that differentiates man from the iower animais, yet they too have a language in variants that convey very definite meanings. But we as humans having a vehicle for conveying thoughts and erno- tions have neglected to provide for its cultivation since not a single educational institution has estab- lished what may be termed a Chair of Speech. Teaching rules o! grammar and neglecting tone, ;color and rhythm finds many using English in a manner that is not the English language but some- thing at times almost unintellig- ible. Language, said the speaker, con- notesý three fundamentals: Some- thing to say; the power to say it and an audience to share it. Ex- .piaining the physical factors in proper articulation, such as breath- ;ing and the use o! lips and mouth. j I Auto Repair is Our Business Taice advantage of oui niany years of auto repair experience.

Emphasis was also given to, the use o! hands for interpretive purposes and the means o! overcoming self-con- sciousness. Technicalities ini enun- ciation and gestures were relieved with many amusing stories of how the untrained, speaking in public, f ell.into distractions of toying with personal, accoutrements, tableware and sa forth, until the thought trend became utterly con!used and the effort became a flop. Recomxnended as one of the best books on the subject was Language in Action, a Book of the Month selection two years ago. The Eng- lish language, sa capable of flex- ibility, now spoken by millions ini a manner more or iess intelligible, was in the view of the speaker, in a great way of becoming the universal means of communication. Aîded by gestures it had no rival in conveying meaning. Amuse- ment with complete understanding animated the audience when the speaker iilustrated his point using the hitch-hike thumb sign; the nod of the head; the beckoning finger; simple, universal, express- ive. Emphasis, inflectian, tone were demonstrated with the use of such simple expressions as the common vernacular, Oh Yeah, which could be in!lected as an assertion, an enquiry, etc. But the prime ex- ample was the simple phrase: "I neyer said that." With the aud- ience joining in repeating the sen- tence, it was shown by using word inflections that 16 shades of meaning derived from those four simple words. Another example was "yes you dîd" which couid express rnany things including 1sarcasm. Words therefore were mereiy symbols for conveying meaning through sound. Using voice and hands Prof. McMullen climaxed his most in- teresting and informative lecture 1with faultless declamation of pas- sages from Shakespeare, Brown- ing, Tennyson and the Bible. In Memoriam; Crossing the Bar; Mac- beth; Isaiah and other passages took on a grace and charm not heard in English classes in our schools and seldom heard else- where. His hearers came to agree that language can be made a puis- ing, rhythmic, colorful aspect in human relationship and behaviaur. The concluding thought was: Lan- guage is the stuff out o! whîch our culture has corne and it is funda- mentally bound up with the Christ- ian tradition. Married Sixty Years Celebrate on Saturday Sixty friends called at the home o! R. C. Pearce, South Darling- ton, on Feb. 23rd, to do honor to Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Pearce on the occasion of their Diamoxiýj Wedding. The bride and groom of sixty years were in very good health, and were very pleased ta meet and chat with so many friends. Mrs. Pearce wore black with an orchid corsage. Guests were welcomed by Mrs. Ross Pearce, while her daughters Vel- ma, (Mrs. Claude Smith), and Louise assisted. Mrs. Arthur Oke poured tea, table being de- corated with crystal candelabra, with white candies and pink andi mauve sweet peas. Dainty re- freshments were served by the fallowing ladies: Mrs. Wm.

A real home is a human entity whîch can move about and even cross seas, and stili be preserved spiritually intact. That is, of course, presuming you have a real homemaker, in whîch case you can live in a tent and stili feel at home. Mid gloomy tents of care, When thy sweet face has corne, Around me, unaware, Arise the courts o! Home! The family is the communal unit of the nation, iùpon which the nation depends for its contin- ued existence, and from which the nation derives its character. Parents have a far greater respon- sibility for the shaping of things to corne than they realize. Next to the family in this responsibility is the Church. Indeed, without the Church and ail that it stands for, family life would deteriorate, as it is deteriorating where child- ren are allowed to grow up with- out moral discipline and rever- ence for and even knowledge of the higher things of life.i Christianity is essentially a fa- mily religion; its central doctrine being the Fatherhood of God. The *Apostie Paul likened the Chris- *tian Church to a farrnily when he 3said: "The Father o! our Lord -Jesus Christ of whom the whole 1family in heaven and earth is named." It will be noted that the -Church family is not confined to this earth, but takes in the heav- ens, and its membership trans- cends thîs mortal life. Robert, Burns said, "A correspondence flxed with Heaven is sure a noble anchor," and the Church provides *that correspondence for the farn ily in public worship. a 0 sweeter than the marriage- f feast, 5r 'Tis sweeter far to me, sTo walk together to the kirk With a goodly company! h To walk together to the kirk, -And ail together pray, While each to his great Father - bends, Old men, and babes, and loving friends, And youths and maidens gay! Those lines fromn Coleridge's "Ancient Mariner" were utterec by a man whose soul had beer "ýalone on a wide, wide sea; so lonely 'twas, that God Himsel: scarce seemed there to be," anc who was glad ta be back homE among his own people. The picture of the family walk- ing together ta church on the ser- ene Sabbath days, with the bell: chiming out their caîl ta worship is typical o! the Victorian periaè in the Old Country, and also aJ Canada. But family church-goini has fallen off in the past thrit3 years bath here and in Great Bni tain, where they tell me th( churches are "empty." Whatevei may be the causes o! this fallîn, off, and there are many excuses there is no doubt that family li! generally has lost in sanctity, il culture and moral influence as result o! the decline in publii family worship. This, in turn, ha has had a lowering eff ect upa: *the cultural and moral standard o! the people in general. It is not that people despise re ligion or, the churches; they arý merely indifferent. The grea, mass o! Canadian people daim t belong to some Christian denair ination, as the census figure show. But they take the churche for granted-they are there ii cases o! emergency, and minister can always be called upon ta bap tize babies, perform a marriag ceremony and give one a decer Christian burial. No one want to be buried lîke a dag.

A man o! mature years, o! many business interests, and with a l! e o! service ta his community ta his credit, Mr. Smith had been cannying an his normal mode o! l! e until a f ew days ago. Late in the past week he made his custamary calîs down town. Feeling unwell, howeven, he entered the Port Hope haspital on SSaturday, whene he saught rest Sta necuperate. Mr. Smith spent many yeans in oamoderation is a necessity. By moderating our pleasures, by controlling unessential spending, we serve our nation and ourselves bet. The House of Seagram for many yearshas advocatcd moderation. Now, during these days of adjustment, it suggests this even more strongly. We Canadians can stili enjoy comforts, standards and pleasures that less fortunate people are denied. But let us remember that the continuation of these .advantages belongs only to those who treat them with respect.

The following would help the producer feel certain that his pnoducts are fairiy gnaded: (1) Stnong producer onganizations for variaus pnoducts ;(2) Gavennment inspection with suifficient num- ber o! inspectons; (3) Well-tnain- ed graders; (4) Gradens and in- spectons o! integnity; (5) Pnoduc- ers' knowledge o! quality requir- ed. Regarding the grading o! eggs, producens have found that by sehling directly to the netailer they have nealized betten grades and better pnices. When eggs have passed thnaugh egg grading stations not openated by a netail- er, producens have been dissatis- fled awing ta (1) low gnades; (2) slowness in receiving payment; (3) unsatisfactory pick-up sys- tem; (4) lack o! uni! ormity in gnading and prices thnaughaut the province. To ensure that grades, are car- ried thraugh ta the consumer producens should have represen- tatives ta check on ail grading an way ta the consumer. This is especialiy necessary negarding beef.
