Suppose, for instance, that some- one apposes you ini some matter. Probably you will rasent bis atti- tude. You may aven ridicule bis views or "fly off the handie" - evea though you realize that ia doing so yau are anly rnaking'matters worse. Wbenever this happens, don't just let matters rest. Try ta make amands. Admit that perhaps you were a littia hiasty in what yau said. Admit, toa, that the other fellow may have had a case. If yau win a dispute or an at- tempt ta get yaur awn way with sameane, don't rub it in. Try ta regain bis goodwill and do what you can ta help him "save face". But if you should be the loser, dan't hold a grudge. Similarly "fence-anending" is equally necessary when we wrong others or they wrongus. In such cases we should try, by expressing aur regrets - or '"leting byganes be byganes", ta keep ail coatacs friendly. Actually, few matters are impor- tant enaugh ta warrant letting themn impair your relationships with ailiers in any way. Your life insurance plans, tua, may need mending from time ta ctime. Additions ta the family, the needs of growing cildren, increased liv- ing costs - these and ailier changea juggest bringing your life insur- ance plans up-ta-date witb :oday's needs. said Miss Çourtioe, It was diffi- cuit to know how they could do it. It meant real* self-sacrifice, for thèy have had less than enough.ta feed and clothe them- selves. The secret for their suc- cess has been the fact that pray4r has been the centre of their cain- paign. Not only do they pray for sufficient finances, but they pray for the Imperial Family. Each Wednesday morning for one and a half hours, the Empress and the Princesses are instructed in the study of the Bible. One of the gifts ta the Empress from an American missionary was a beau- tifully bound white leather Bible. The young Japanese Christians have learned ta set up their own family aitars, where the study of the Bible and prayer is the cen- tral theme in the home. In one home, where the young couple were accustomed to singing a hymn during their devotians, a neighbour hearing them asked for the opportunity to share it with thein. So the Gospel grows. Once again Miss Courtice chal- lenged her hearers ta make the most of the privilege to take Christ to the world. 25th Anilversary The year 1950 commemorates twenty-five years of the growth of the United Church of Canada. It also commemorates 25 years of activity of the W.M.S. of the United Church. Oshawa Presby- terial W.M.S. remained a part of Cobourg Presbyterial W.M.S. un- til 1928 when it was found nec- essary to make a new division. The first president of Oshawa Presbyterial W.M.S. was Mrs. J. U. Robins 1928-1930. Then Mrs. George Jackson of Port Perry, 1930-31; Mrs. C. R. Carscallen of Whitby, followed; then Mrs. N. J. White of Brooklin; Mrs. George Honey, Newcastle; Mrs. Little- wood, Bobcaygeon; Mrs. W. P. Rogers, Bowmanville. Mrs. Tho- mas Norton, R.R. 1, Locust Hill was elected to office this year. The following members brought brief messages for the absent former presidents: Mrs. A. R. Wilson, Mrs. A. D. Carnett, Osh- awa; Mrs. W. C. Smith, Port Perry; Mrs. John McKinney, Brooklin. We]come ta New Organizations was conducted by Mrs. W. P. Rogers, retiring president, assist- ed by Mrs. L. W. Dippell and Mrs. Thomas Norton. There are four new affiliated societies, three new affiliated C.G.I.T. Groups, two new Mission Circles, one new Mission Band and one new Baby Band. The "In Memoriam Service" for deceased members of Oshawa Presbyterial who had passed on during 1949, was conducted by Mrs. R. M. Seymour of Enniskil- len. The death of Mrs. W. L. Smyth, Pembroke, was fittingly remembered. The delegates to the School for Leaders which will be held at Ontario Ladies' College, Whitby, will be one from the Western Section, Mrs. Lloyde Stevenson of Brooklin and Miss Muriel Ste- vens, "Glen Rae Farm," R.R. Bowmanville, for the Eastern Section. Mrs. W. P. Rogers read "Greet- ings" from Miss Gertie Staples, a missionary from Oshawa Pres- byterial, who is stationed at Round Lake, Saskatchewani.

Federal Grants Aid County Health Units Salaries for part-time medical assistants in the Northumberland- Durham haalth unit and for an addîtional sanitary inspector for the Bruce County health 14nit will be paid from Ontario's share in the national health grants, the minister af National Health and Welfare, Hon. Paul Martin, said today., Funds have also been provided, he said, for short courses for pub- lic health nurses and for hospital accountants. In the Northumberland-Durham unit additional medical services for carrying out pre-school and other examinations and public health procadùires required by the medical officer af health will be provided by practising physicians nominated by the county médical society. The cost of the part- time service will be met by a fad- erai -grant. An additional sanitary inspector for the Bruce County unit will assist the present staff with rou- tine work of checking sanitary conditions on farms, dainies, foad establishments, etc., and will en- able the unit ta provide extra ser- vices during the summer months when large numbers of summer residents and tourists corne ta this section of Ontaria. To provide for greater uniform- ity and efficiency in hospital ac- counting methods and the pre- paration of financial reports, the provincial health department is planning ta hold four three-day sassions for hospital accountants. The courses will be given in four centres in defferent sections of the province, with the instruction being given by staff from the On- tario Department of Health and the Ontario Hospital Association. At laast 150 are expected ta at- tend. Faderai funds have also been allotted ta finance four two-day regional, conferences on child care for public health nurses. Ab- out 113 are expected to attend the four conferences which were or- ganized in response ta a wide- spread desire on the part of the public health nurses for more in- formation on family health ser- vices, particularly concerning the care and development of normal children, basic nutrition, and mental health.

The answar to this question is detarmined by aither personal taste for naatness or the amount af tirne and strangth the homemaker has ta davote ta iron- ing. Starchad ciothing and waar- ing apparel are usually finished carefully whila everyday thînga such as toweis ara done more casually. Tabla linens and othar fine household linans are almost univarsally ironad but bed linens may ha ironad or the folded sheet pressad on top. Turkish towels, diapars and flaneletta sheets ara genarally helieved ta be more ab- sorbent .ar warm if not ironed. Wa helieva certain articles are damagad by regulan ironing- alasticized portions af garments, fabrics waterproofad with waxas, rubber or ather coatings which malt easily. Soma ofý, the synthet- ics are ruined by high tempera- tures. Than, too, pile-fabrics, such as corduroys and chenilles mat under pressure. Be careful how you iran delicate fabrîca such as vailinga, laces and ioosely woven mataniais dacoratad with beads or accssais-a firm pressing cloth hý advised on thase fabnics. Ail bias-cut garments should be ironed on the grain of the fahnic rather than irom neck ta hem, or sagging rnay nesuit. Neyer pull sheer organdies or the more frag- ile rayons against the weight ai the iran hecause the resuit wil be fraying at the searna. Read the labels ta ha sure that specially treated fabries shouid ha ironed. Mercerized, Sanionized and Parmanentiy stiffened gar- ments can ha' ironad. Howevar, Giazed Chintz and Moisture- proaf garmants ara not always recommanded for ironing. The finish dapends upan bath taste and fabric requiremants. A duli finish is obtained by ironing on its wrong sida: dark coloured cottons and linens, rayons, satins, crepes and embroidered pieces. A glossy finish is achieved hy iran- ing on the right sida: white and light coioured linens, cottons and washahle glazed chintz. Damask cloths may 'ha ironed on bath sides for a professionai look. The hast results ai iraning ara guaranteed hy even darnpness, the safe temparature, the motion without drag, and the iight pres- sure ai the iran. Points ta remam- ber are: 1. Use warm water ta spinkla clothas as it saturates fibres mare avenly. Foid garments carefuliy, with hams and othen double thick- nasa parts turned inside and ral up tightly, using kneading pres- sura as you rail. Caver roliad items with heavy towai and let stand at ieast an hour, if you can, but kaep themn in a cool place ta prevent mildew. 2. The tamperature ai the iran is most important. It should ha controlled, as too littie slows up the process and ai course too much damages the fabnic and pro- ducas shine or scorch. 3. Lost motion causes fatigua, aspecially in hand ironing. Home- makars should not tolerate a wo' - hley board, a wohbly iran handie on a surface that is not padded well. Iron with the grain ai the fabnic, sinca ironing in opposition ta that natural direction produces the same affect as ruhhing fur the wrong way aven though it may not ha ioticad for the first 2 or 3 ironinga. 4. Through force ai habit many women "bear down" on the handla ai lightweight irons, ex- erting neediess pressure and con- sequantly axpanding neediesa anergy. The aven handling ai the iran as it is placed on and lii ted off the fahnic is most important. Other points should ha consid- erad important: a plean, xvll- fitted ironing board caver, a chlorina hlaach in case ai scorch, a howl ai watar and a sponge ion redamping dnied spots, dlean wrapping papen on the floor, a dnying rack and a few clothas hangars. TAKE A TIP 1. Ta iran a man's shirt ÉDr a blouse: (a) Iran cuifs first; innar sur- face, than outan surface. (b) Iran hody of sleeve, cuf apening sida first.

Always take that extra second to arrange the garment on the board so that you get the maxi- mum ironing surface and save ironing in the wrinkles. 7. On wide articles such as a tablecloth, fold lengthwise and iron one aide. Then fold double and iran one side. Then fold double and iron upper sutface. Keep on folding and ironing the upper surface until the piece is finished. Fold from hem to hem occasionally, in- stead of lengthwise.

Reynolds Receives Cap at Toronto Western Miss Jeanne Reynolds, Hamp- tan, was among the forty-fiva student nurses recently "capped" at Toronto Western Hospital. These students have completad their five months prabationary period and have been recoin- mended in the School of Nursing. The capping ceramony was con- ducted in the Nurses' Residence of the hospital in an atinosphera of dignity and beauty. Each stu- dent received from ber "big sis- tan?' in the hospital, a wvhite cap "symbolizing the spirit af unsal- fishnass, sympathetic understand- ing and devotion ta duty which form the foundation of the nurs- ing school." Aftar aIl students had received their caps the candle lighting ceramony signifying Flan- ence Nightingale's Lamp followed. The first candle, that ai Miss Isobal McGibbon, presidant ai the first year students, was lighted by Miss Juna Lyons, prasidant of the School ai Nursing Council. In passing on the light ta the student's candie, Miss Lyons said, as part of her charge, "In lightincl this candia for the classa of 1952 we wish ta brighten for you the path ladan with ideals for the nursing profession." It is balieved that the miniatura Florence Nightingale lampa car- ried by each studant this year were the first ta ha used in any hospital in Canada. Many re- latives af the students wene in attendance and participated in a receptian following the impress- ive candie lighting ceramnony.
