A Lon- don sbopkeeper requested the public "not o confound this shop with that of another swindler, who has established himself on theother side of the street." Citizens with "wants" write sonme of the queerest things when let lose in the small-ad col- unmns of tht newspapers. "Wan- ted a good girl to cook,' who will make a good roast or broil, or will stew well." wrote one. "Two girls want washing," an- nounced another. An issue of "Thet Loandon Times" conitained the following advertisement: "Pianoferte, Cet- tage, 7 Octaves, the property of a Lady leaving England in re- markably eleganit nalaut case on carved supports.

In a "For Sale" coluin of a beys' magazine the proud father of a lad who had wade a violin without assistance said that he had "made it out of bis uwn head and has enough woed left over for another." Doubtful descriptions in ad- vertisemnents include:-- "A black silk gentleman's umbrella"; "A keyless ladies' watch" and "nwoolen children's mitts."

A bone-mill owner assured the public that "parties sending their own bones wil be attended to with fidelity and dispatch." A racehorse owner had for, sale "a splendid grey horst, as a charger, or would carry a-lady with a switch tail." An advertisement in a Dublin newspaper announced that a well-known spirit merchant had f aie "a small quantity cf the whiskey which was dru k by bis late Majesty, while ia Dub- lin." Classic uxample of a deliher- ately freak "ad," is that of the showman iwbo placed a large placard on his tent announcing that bu was exhiting a horse with its lail where its head ought to bu. Hundreds of people paid to sue this curiosity. When admit- ted, they saw a horse turned round, so that ifs fail was in thu oats bin! CULTURE!

Saturday I was wondering what I was likely te write in my column this week-wonder- ing because cf Hurricane Ceu- nie. But Cennie, as you know, wasn't nearly so ebstrepereus as she might have been, except along tht shorts cf Lake Outarie and Lake Erie. Wt got a good stiff wind here and pienty of rain but it didn't even put the hydre power eut of cemmission. So new we are busy counting our blessings once again - and hoping "Diane" will be just as ladylike in her behavieur, if and when she cores this way. These hurricane warnîngs are really quite disturbing. At times you don't know whether yen should change whatever plans yen have made or not. You don't want te, but on thteother hand hurricane warnings tan hardly be treated lightly. I was chiefly concerned on Saturday about a School Rennion that was takîng place i this district. 0f course ISSUE 36 - 1955 - T such ,nclemnent wcather woeuld mearn a much smaller attend- ance than had been anticipated. Unfortunately all snch reunions are completely at the mercy of the weather. On Saturday it must have been very disap- pointing for those romi distant points who had expected to be present -- and for those who had planned the Centennia] pro- gramme. I was in Toronto ai day Fri- day and I wouldn't have been at ail happy had "Conae" kicked over tht traces while i was away from rhome. As it was I had a most interesting after- noon - at a Tea and W.I. Rug Exhibit sponsored by tht Salada Tea Company. There were 59 rngs entered in the competition. Just think of thç hours and hours of work that went inte those 59 rugs . . and et the tua, chatter and laughter that weuld emerge from 59 groups of women gathered together on this worthwhile preject! There were rgs there freon right across Ontario - trom Went- worth area, London, Ottawa and, peints in between, right through to Fort William. I looked them over casually atfirst, then mere carefully, trying te decide which two in my humble opinien were the best rugs - in craftsman- ship and design. Te my surprise I pjcked the twe rugs that were later announced as the winners. The first prize rug was made by the Winona W.I.; second priz, Varcncy W.. - both these branches are from tht Hamil- ton Area. First prize rug was circular, about forty inches in diameter, featuring a large twelve-pointed star and between each point of the star the rep- resentative flower of each pro- vince. To equalize twelve points ameng the ten provinces two points each were given to On- tario and Quebec as being the largest provinces. The second prze-winning rug featured the Lion and the Uni- corn with the Maple Leaf and the Fleur de Lis between themr. A very striking and unique de- sign. Both rugs showed excel- lent workmanship, as did mest of the others. or 'scld tq anether buyer.
