It could have dropped at one of four calls he had made that day. He 'phoned three without success. The next morning he agaiî- visited the kitchen of Memorial Hospital here and was greeted with the welcomre question "Did you lose a $10 bill here yesterday?" Nice folks in the hospital kitchen. Mn. Nowak's faith in the future of humanity is strong today. ï. t i. t JUST LIKE OLD TIMES - Remember those women's wonk parties who did so much good work for the Red Cross here during the first World War? They are at it again. Recently, a Women's Work Committee of the Red Cross was formed hete with Mrs. Ed. Rundie as chairman. Thev haven't found a room to work in yet, -but it won't be long. If you would care to help this most worthwhile cause, give Mns. Rundie a cal]. The need is great. GET EQUAL TIME - Rece ntly, the Home and Schbool Association staged a most populan panel discussion here concerning propen methods of '..aising children. Next week, the youngstens will be given an oppotunity oif replying in kind on "Qualities we respect in parents". Six Grade 8 students will conduct the panel with Mns. Robt. Kent as moderaton. The event will be held at Ontario Street School on February lOth at 8 p.rn. If they aren't censoned, those youngsters could provide quite an interesting evening. Rabbi Norton of Osha wa will be guest speaker. HOW'S YOUR INTERIOR? - A big event is cm îng up tonight at the Town Hall under the sponsor- ship of the most active Business & Professional Women's Club. It is called an intenion decorating night and will featune advice, illustrations, pictunes and a vaniety of worthwhile tips on how to make that house of y ours look like a palace. The B. & P. ladies are using this method to raise funds for equipment in the new hospital addition. Aber- nethy Paints & Wallpapen and Goodbrand Fabnics have joined with the group in sponsorshîp.

Locally, the supporters are holding a euchre at Memonial Park Clubhouse at 8 p.m. Corne out and give thera a hand. There are good pnizes and.even a door pnize.

On Wednesday afternoon while com- pleting The Statesman make-up, we found there- was considerably more type than there was space, s0 the Recreation Reviews were lef t out. Un- fortunately, Mr. Rigg had included a wide altera- tion in the formation of some of the minor league teams. On Saturday morning, ahl was confusion at the arena as the wrong players came at the riç!ht time and so forth. Our humblest apologies. We wish we could guarantee that it won't happen again. t . .f 1 MUC1U WEEKEND ACTIVITY- Area citizens will have plenty of activity on Saturdav. They can attend the Badminton Club's "Hlardtime Dance" which should be good fun or, at the Arena, the Juveniles start on the playoff trail against either Wgitby or Port Hope.
