How- iver,* auch generosity usually paves the way for a problem, and such bas been the case dur- ing the winter months. As announced in The States- mnan last week, the Ministerial Association bas recognized the need of working out a plan whereby tiiose really deserving assistance will be looked after by cstablishing a fund which will provIde for lunch tickets. Capt. Deering of the Salvation Army who will be responsible for the distribution of the tickets, will be able ta recognize those who are "professional loafers" and thus be able ta give assistance ta those who are in need af help until such time as they find em- ployment. " Your contribution which wil welcomned by any member of 'IeMinisterial Association, will help ta curb the constant streani of' objectionable characters who present thernselves too frequently at local housebolds. STUDENTS SHOW TALENT It is flot unusual for one ta hear some of the older folk in town remmîisce about the 'good old days' when the young folk of -the town presented operettas and plays ta capacity audiences n the Opera House. They seeni ta, feel that the up-and-coming *generAtion lacks both the initia- tive and the talent to "get up" tee kind of entertainment enjoyed a couple of decades ago. In this week's Screech Owl re- port you will find that students of, Bowmanville High School Fourth Form and Commercial classes are lacking neither in talent or initiative. It. is an annual event for the studerits of each form ta present a play. It is an occasion when the youngsters can really let go with ail the imagination of their youthful minds. The scripts - - if they use any - - are of their own making. Stage properties, costumes, 'fi-mn' items and the feature attractions of the show are ail their own and the resuits are always of the higbest calibre. This year, for instance, two of the fourth formers raided the Statesman office ta look up in- formation in newspapers of 50 years ago.

To add a little flavor, four of the lads «"Barber-Sbopped" in typi- cal turn-of-the-century style. Though the young folk of ta- day are being brought up un an environement of "canned enter- tainment", if secms quite appar- ent that tbey have no intention of allowing their latent talents fa go ta wasfe. We can expect, in the future, f irst class enter- tainment that will surpass even the standards of the -good aid days". * M *F PLASTIC SHINES AGAIN It seems that there is no end ta the practical uses of plastic. This year, the eyes of the tired housewife will be brightened by an ideal disb mop, wbich will belp make that rather monoton- ous task a little more pleasant. This super-absorbent mop i- ways keeps dlean in use and will neither clog nor become slimy. Tbe same maferial is also being supplied in the form of sponges which - unlike natural spange - can be boiled bygienically dlean. Owing ta their texture these artificial spanges are claimed also ta impart a gentle massage whicb is very benefid-al ta the skin. SWEET MAGIC Most of us have P. s-.; eet tooth And the reasan for most women's figure problems probably lies in an over-fondness for cbocolates and other rich foods. Few of us realize, bowever, that seventy of the industries we look ta for the revival of aur commerce depend on sugar. It finds its place in mator fuel, synthetic rubber tires, plastics, industrial alcohol, in waterpraofs and soap. Sugar candy is n cluded in a soldier's iran ration, in fact, fifteen men adrift on a raft kept tbemselves alive for 4 days on nathing else. This "Aladdin's Lamp" of the 20th Century - called thus be- cause if lights the way to sa n'iany ways and means was fîrst broughf from Palestine by tbe Crusaders. If rçached there fhrough Persia from India. Span- ish sailors distributed the sugar cane ta West Africa and Colum- bus carried if on bis second voy- age ta the West Indies. For a long fime sugar was a luxury weighed on the apotb- ecary's scales. Now, supplement- ed by beef sugar, the world is weighing if by the million ton, and yet cries ouf for more. TRIFLING TREASURES If you ever bave a yen ta gef away from the suppased dullness of town or rural life, may we suggest that you fake a trip ta Toronto. Not residential To- ronto, mind you, but downfown Toranto. Try struggling through the busy departmenf stores. Or if you prefer, baffle your way' onta a Yonge or Bay Sf. street- car, - in the middle of the rush hour. We'd be willing ta guar- antee that you'l1 grafefully tbank your lucky stars for the pence and quiet of small-fown life. Nonetbeless, one bears of some inferesting and amusing incidents which arise fromn life in the "big City." We heard about anc elderly lady who was crossing a Toronto street during the noon hour rush, wben ber string of pearîs broke and scaftered in nîl directions. A T.T.C. guide was the first ta corne ta ber aid, and very shorfly there were about 30 people stooping over the roadway, searcbing. The unusual sigbf affracted the at- tention of a policeman who stop- ped traffic for a few moments. Over baîf of the people didn't knaw whaf fbey were looking for, but each in turn placed bis find in the small cupped bands of the bewildered lady. Finally the busy corner resum- enormal routine. With a smihe she peered into ber cupped bands and saw: ahi ber pearîs, a streef- car ticket, 3 buttons, 2 coppers. a lead pencil, bair pin, used stamp, 2 matches, pen nib, two elasfic bands, shopping list, stick of gum, laundry ticket, fhumb tack, a broken zipper, tamn thea- t re sfub, a crumphed snapshof negative, a baby's nipple, business card, package of pipe cleaners, n four-inch spike and two nails. When asked the price of the pearîs, the embarrassed lady an- Strictly Feminine..

EDNA JAQUES 228 Donlea Drive, Toronto Hello Ijamemakers! We promis- ed ourselves that we would have a few games ready for the teen- agers' party on Valentinc's Day. Having decided on sevemal games ta use, we hope ta give you an idea or two. A party is off toaa good start when guests are asked ta find their own pnrtners: Froni a bat each picks a slip of paper on whicb is written the name of an animal-gat, goose, duck, cow, hen, doe, ewe, caf, dog, borse and turkey. Then, fromn another bat, duplicate names are drnwn by the boys. The noise wihl be deaf- ening but satisfactory as eacb guests moves around the room imitnting his animal in search of n partner making a similar noise. Simple games are best. For ex- ample, the Chothespin game. Pro- vide f wo milk baffles and twcnty chothes pins ta the twa contestants. Place the milk baffles behind chairs. Each boy in turn, kneels on a chair, rests bis wrists on the back of the chair and draps the clothespins in the baffle from bis mouth. The boy's partner feeds the clothespins ta bim. "Name the Movie" is a guessing game. Clip the advertisements of current movies fromn newspapers and cut off the tifles and number them. Ask the partners ta write down the name af eacb, nllowint 1 minute per look per picture. A inake-behieve sleigh race may be fun. Fasten sfrips of paper tape on the flbar with Scotch tape. Mark off irregular spaces in the tape and use one set of dice for the game. Ask each couple ta select a winning number. Set six empty spoals (with a num- ber marked an each) at the sfart- ing line. When everyone is ready, let someone fhrow the dice. A mate from one set of dice will indicate the number of the spool ta move and another of a differ- cnt cohour, the number of spacei if will be moved. The winner wil score ten, second place sever and third place, four. Have someone lead the singin, while the bostesses prepare the refresbments.

Strip an organizafion of ifs money, burn down ifs buildings and disband ifs members but there is sf iii left one asset worfh millions and thaf is the respect and confidence of the public, for "By their deeds shahl ye know them." No institution, wbefher state, church, lodge or Instifute can sur- vive the mass disapproval of the people. Sa it is necessary ta work in these organizations for understanding, and ta keep alive the spirit of goodwill and "Peace on Earfh." The aid sfory of the defective brick in the building wbich caused ifta collapse is ap- plicable bere. Advertisemenfs in the papers may be masterpieces of diction, reports of activifies beautifully worded, meetings edu- cafional and inspiring but if pub- lic relations are naf of the besf na publicity can caver themn up. 18.
