PAGE SIXTEEN TEE CAIiADIAII STAT~MAY. DOWMMVTLL ONTARTO THURSDAY, DEC. 4th, 1058 'iSJ Y/oungmants IColumn.. When we received notice of the November 27th meeting of the Durham County Club, in Troronto, and noted that some chap was going to show us <slides" of old houses, and tal.k about them, you could have heard my sngrt of derision a mile away. «"Who, I enquired, is going to har.dle pulpwood ail day, eat a hasty supper. shave, change clothes, drive 65 miles, sit on a hard chair, drive the return journey of 65 miles to a cold house. at 1 a.m., just to hear someone chat about aid houses? And as for looking at pictures o~ f them - by jingo, I've seen enough of them, and due to f inancial stringency, lived i enough of them, without listen- ing to some guy lecture about them. We ain't going!" But a short, peremptory ord- er from my commanding officer, Butch, caused the car to be brought to the door in a hurry, and I was "shanghaied" into act- ig as chauffeur of our puddle jumper for the Toronto trip. The guest speaker, who teaches architecture in a Toron. to school, flot only had some excellent slides, but charmed us with bis bigbly intelligent, subtly hunioraus comments on the various types, designs, con- dition of the buildings shown on the screen. When pointed out by Mr. Rempel, they ail proved ta have varying degrees of character-proud, sloppy, solid, fancy, comfortable, siily. fop- pish, bold, retiring, well kept, neglected. Until that meeting, 1 didn't know that a lot o! buildings represent the architectural de- sign of some particular period- Roman, French, Greek, English, Gothic, German, etc.' etc. I always thougbt they reflected the mood o! the builder, like the hip-roofed two-holer that is aur pride a.nd joy. in the corner of the yard. Well, live and learn! It is nice ta report that the entire audience enjoyed the treaIt. The picture of St. Thomas Church, at Shanty Bay, remind- cd me that it was the first church I attcnded in Canada. One Sunday I played hookey and went ta the Metbodist Church, where I discovered that you didn't have ta get up and down nearly sa aiten dur- ing L. service, so I nev~er went back ta St. Thomas. Although for a ver>' specaChristmas1 BONE CHINA Cups and Saucers $1009 that was more than -à hal! a century aga, I dîd flot know until last Thursday cvénîng that the aid church was built of mud bricks. And whcn Mr. Rempel "screen- ed" the aId African Church, at Edgar, I remembered being there over 50 years ago, when tbe white folks sat on onc side and the calorcd people on the other and how the aid negro preacher would seem te preach mare ta the white folks becausei they donated more libcrally when the - Alection plate was passed.

We thoroughly enjoycd' the singing o! Mr. and Mrs. B. Honeywell, and the artistry a! their accampanist, Miss Jessie Allen. The hospitality of Group No. 2 was up ta its usuai high standard, and the same goes for all who contributed ta the ev- ening's activities. It was dandy to meet and chat with folks whom we hadn't seen for quite some time, and wba seemed pleased ta say hello ta two yokels from Pontypool.
