THE CANADI(AN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILL, ONTAPIO M THURSDAY. OCT. 3rd, 1946 Graphie Story of India bros, Told by MI** McLaurln and Featured WlI. Meeting in t sysi A graphic stony of if e in the cess cauntry in South India was told tior by Miss Kate McLaurin at Bow- manville Women's Institute meet- w ing in St. John's Parish Hall on ine September 25. Speaking from i personal knowledge, as most of field p'frlss McLaurin's adutt hf e had wal4 ýbeen spent in India, she was able wal, ta portray many observations and tors experiences in a realistic manner. n Her ,pngthy address was given has witkWat notes and was exception- ald au 'nteresting and educatianal. ofy i s. Ross Grant, convener of wat rthe program, in intraducing Miss mad MçLaurin, gave a brief reference irrij ta her life as a missionary in Ini- Witt dia before she came to reside in ing town, with hem sister Mns. J. H. Jury.se India, the speaker said, is divid- and ed into thxiee provinces, north, By central, and south and has a wide beai variation in climatic and soul con- brec ditions. In North India, which is en somewhat sirilar ta Canada, fruit by and grain are grawn, but in South in1 India, one food, rice, only can be don grown. Rice is the staff of life in no1 India and the poorer classes of n people also derive their living the from the cultivation of the rice and crop. Bath men and womien work the in the fields f rom il ta 4, some E singing as they work, and the wa- men iooking picturesque in bright the costumes. The standard of living whi is sa low that five acres of land the return a good living. Only a few stit own any land-the majority work peo for someone else. en Large rivers having their source I high in the mountains ta the north Mc' ss the country ta the Bay of 13 ngal making the land fertile it Jproviding a supply of wateî the dry season. There is no1 i from October to June and at ;em of canals and ditches is ne- i ;ary ta store water for irriga- n purposes.C Vhen the rains corne in June1 hard-baked earth is coveredi water. After some days thei :ls are ploughed, still underc uer, with an aid fashioned « )ugh drawn very slowly by a der buffalo. There are no trac- sor modern methods of seed- , and harvesting. Everything sbeen done by hand in the same 1fashioned way for hundreds years. Buckets for lifting the1 der from the canals are still de from palm leaves and so igation is slow and laborious th the palm leaf buckets wast- gmost of the water. Vhen the ploughing is finished dling rice are planted by hand ,d tnansplanted again in July. rDecember the rice crop is a îutiful green, waving in the eeze and then turning to a gold- color when it is ripe. It is cut hand with a sickle and dried the sun. Threshing, which is ýie out of doors as there are Sbuildings, is a process of driv- gcattle round and round over egrain. Then the chaif is lifted id the good grain is left lying on eground. 3rief reférence was made to efamine conditions that result hen, owing to lack of moisture, ýe crop is a failure. The super- tions and the idolatries of the ýople, before the rice can be eat- iwene also mentioned briefly. In concluding her address, Miss .Laurin stated that in recent SIMPLE AS THAT If the strike be the right way for workers ta improve their pur- chasing power then by ahl means let everyone in the nation go an strîke, and stay off work for six manths and a year, and we shall aIl be wealthier and happier. Why have nat we discovered long ago that the sure way ta produce more things sa that everyone may have his needs satisfied is for ev- eryane ta quit work and demand hîgher pay? It is just as simple as that.-Midland Free Press. We have a Laundry or Cleaning Service to Tak e Care of Ail Your Requirements.

W. Shemon spoke on -1er trip ta California. She out- Lined the essentials for a good trip as (1) the will ta enjay it; (2) face and finger pnint (in farm of pass- pont); (3) little luggage (the less the betten); (4) congenial cam- panions, if dniving, four drivers, maps and guide books; (5) a little money. She reparted that south of the barder there was goad food and plenty of it, at no greater cost, and same times less than here. The tounst is catered ta and made very happy. They joumneyed through 16 diffenent states gaing via Detroit and returning by way of Buffalo and Niagara Falls. California boasts its ranches and dude ranchers with their el- aborate ornamental clothing. This state is the home af the moving picture industry. She found the stars of the screen very friendly and sociable folk. Their party visited San Fran- cisco, the Golden Gate, the place of the famous meeting of U.N.O. Conference. She felt after view- ing the speakers platfarms, with their different heights denating difference in rank of the speakers, that this was nat a good begîn- ning for peace not ta meet on a common graund. In 8,000 miles, shortages were apparent: "Maybe there was no butter, sugar or stockings," ne- marked Mrs. Sheman, "but cour- tesy, gaad wili and kindness were not rationed 'in any form." She learned in journeying that "a stranger is a friend you have nat met." . Mrs. S. Grant, immediate past president was presented with a Past President's Pin by Mrs. W.

Miss Eickson is a graduate of the Massachusetts School of Art, after which she spent 5 yeans at the Goetheanuma School at Dor- ach, Switzerland, learning a ompletely new and modern me- hod of creative painting. It is the very essence of creation, stres- sing the light as the main factor n ahl the pictures. It has been referred ta as the extension of im- pressions. This can be explained better by stating that there are nio figures or outlines ta the paint- .ngs but through the blending f colons, using only the three col- ors, red, blue and yellow, the ar- ist is able to portray the mod, season or thought in his mind, above and beyond that which rneets the eye. This mode of painting Miss En- ickson uses exclusively and has exhiýbited her work in Boston, New York and Europe. Her home is in Cambridge, Mass., and be- sides lecturîng ta adult confer- ences and audiences she teaches art privately. The class in Bow- manville was attended by about 10 including Mr. and Mrs. Schon, their daughter, Mrs. 0. Friend, Mrs. F. Langford, and Mrs. E. Whitehead, Toronto. The class worked during the day as well as the night classes three times a week, which were held for the benefit of those whos work would not permit them ta attend during the day. Attending the exhibit Saturday were about 60 people, among them many friends from Toronto and district. Mrs. Schon served tea ta the guests.
