By Margaret Farmer ERRANDS 0F MERCY Though we are inclined ta for- get the fact, aur friends acmass the brimy deep are stili cailing for our assistance in sending warrn clothing and other necessamy sup- plies ta them. Wamm quilts and babies' layettes, made by the ac- tive fîngers of Canadian women in Red Cross womkooms acmoss the country are the twa items1 most in demand for overseas as- sistance. Millions o! articles, valued at thousands o! dollars were ship- ped hast year ta Britain, Greece, Trans-Jordan and Central Europe. In Canada the Red Cross was equally busy making supplies for its varied and valued home ser- vices. What are the compensations received for ahl this effort and honest-ta-goadness hard work? Simply the thousands of letters on file whicb express the heamt- feit appreciation of the grateful recipients. By the way, have YOU made your donation ta this yeam's Red Cross Financial Campaign?

VIOLET RYLEY MEMORIAL We pause today ta salute a native o! the village o! Bethany, Miss Violet Ryley, whose name bas become almost legendamy in the field o! dietetics. We men- tion her because tbe Canadian Dietetic Association decided ta establish a memorial ta twa a! Canada's pioneers in *ýietetics, Miss Ryley and Kathleen Jef! of Mantreal. The memorial will be in the form o! a foundation fond ta de- fray costs of a lecture open ta the public, ta be given annually at the time a! tbe Associatian's convention, by persans praminent in the field af nutrition. Miss Ryley, who died a year ago, was an honarary president o! the C.D.A. Hem success in the field of dietetics was due in part ta ber autstanding success in the military haspitals fallawing the first great wam, and ta hem spec- tacular achievements in the field o! commercial nutrition. Alang witb ber remarkable ability, she bought ta the pro- fession a wealtb of attributes in character and personality, and infectiaus enthusiasm. OFF TO THE GAME With just a smatteming o! hoc- key knawledge tucked in the back o! aur head, we joined the cowd o! spectators at the Bowmanville Arena last week ta watch Gan- anoque whip Bowmanville in the first series playof! game. When we gew tired o! watch- ing the boys slap tbat elusive piece of rubber aound we settled down ta a more intemesting pas- time - watching the spectators. Fmam wbere we stood bebind the railing, it was amusing ta watcb a sea o! beads and should- ers moving forward as one, as eager fans strained ta catch a glimpse af the flying puck speed- ing up the ice. At times it looked as if some o! them wauld topple over an their nases. Then there were the kids sceaming them- selves hoarse at the slightest pro- vocation, as they cbewed excît- edly at everytbing from finger nails ta leather gauntiets. We haven't been able ta decide whetber the maIes or the females are the most excitable. We saw one lady clutch franticaliy at hem busband's amm (or maybe he was ber sweetheart) while she closed Auihorily on Home Decoration Miss Ruth Hamilton Don't gamble with color!

BRANCH OFFICE OSHfAWA, ONTARIO ber eyes and held ber breath every trne the puck came within 6 ft. of the goal. Then there were the sweet young things, and the not-so-young too, whose squeals o! delight, and at times conster- nation, touched every note on the scale. The males supplied interesting reactions, too. Their forthcoming noises ranged from 10w grunts and groans ta raucous ranting, which bordered at times on strong language. And there was a cer- tain maie who, in bis excitement, almost threw his pen dlean across the ice on a couple of occasions. We noticed that the boys kept the players on the home team welI supplied with sharp coin- mands an bow ta play hockey (fotunately they couldn't be heard, or the score might have been considerably worse). We enjoyed ourselves thor- oughly. Watching folks at a hoc- key game is almost as interesting as the waiting room in a bus depot or a train station. EARL'Y SPRING SUNSHINE Just beyond the turn in the road What new adventure will it bring, It may be winter here and now But just beyond the turn is Spring!
