ORONO WEEKLY TIMES Vol. 2. No. 46. ORONO. ONT , THURSDAY. DEC. 8, 1938. Subscription, $1.25 Per Year Make Your Motto, “Shop At Home,” And Save Money Gives Report Of Women’s Institutes Convention Held In Toronto In November Mrs. Richardson Thorough- ly Describes the Doings to the Members (Continued from last, week) Lord Elgin worked with the Cana- dian Corps ' from 1914-1918. His job was to supply labor t0 assist the troops. He told of how he was to -istipply a female impersonator at short notice and secured one on. time. He told us ulxmt the Empire Exhibition and Canada’s part in it, also how everything- was brought together to make for co-operation and how much science and research can do to give us more help and happinêss. The women’s section showed handicraft, a fashion theatre, historical addtesse: and fashion changes, The" Institutes showed what can be done in the way of good cooking and home manage ment. The Branches took it week about tp hand" out cakes, scones," etc. In six mon ths 12,000,00.0 persons pass- ed through the turnstiles. Two of their big" events were connected with women. First day was when Queen Mary paid her third visit to the' Ex- hibition Saturday evening with 235,- 000 persons present ; the second day was when the King and Queer: with the princesses were to be present and launch a new boat. The King could not be present so the Queen alone spoke amid great admiration, rever- ence and lové. We felt much encour- aged by what the Exhibition taught, us. We are . apt to neglect, to help ourselves because things confié ’so â- easily. We are a pleasure speaking people but we have a;.link, with some- thing beyond us and’ iifirÂT keep be- fore us a thought of something high- er, We must beep our home life in- tact, one 'of the essentials1 of which justifies his or her place in the com- munity in. which they belong. The Government of Scotland appointed a voluntary council, of which Lord El- gin was chairman, to gee what could be done for labour and the unem- ployed. The (Scottish Council of Community Service for Mutual Help is its name and it is not only for the unemployed but is co-operative for all. They learned to make furniture, rugs, etc., and studied about motor cars, and! other subjects useful to themselves and others.. The Coun- cil formed camps , where the family could go for a holiday at very moder- ate rates. For a happy and contented life one must be able to, play a game and enjoy it. Leisure time pan be used to good advantage by developing one’s talent in any way which seems desirable, music particularly, and if we feel discouraged and every- thing seems to go wrong, let. us re- member that it will pass away, and things will come right again. He finished with a Scotch song UnaoCom partied1. Miss Powell voled our apprecia- tion. Miss Shields sang a solo,, then Lady Elgin, whom Mrs. Abo! t, chairman, , had been talking with, consented to speak a few, w*, â- > to us. Ehe ' told us that there were 50,000 Tnigtitute members in Scot- land, of which' she is one. She told U3 that 'she was. about to send greet- ings to an Institute Convention in Shetland and would we like her to send our greetings with hers, which we did. On Thursday morning Mrs. Weller gave the report on child welfare, and said health is our greatest asset. In many branches addresses were given on diseases. Milk has been supplied to schools, tonsil operations have been, attended to; some visited the radium plant in Port Hope and in November, 1996, radium was first produced in Canada. (Some are ad- vocating that a medical certificate should be demanded! before a mar- riage license be issued. Tne question is asked “What are we doing for the generations unborn ?” and could the Institute do something to keep children occupied in spare time by teaching them hobbies ? Hon. Geo. Bouchard, M.P., Minie- tter of Agriculture for Quebec, gave am, outstanding address. He comes from the lower St. Lawrence,, where they are said1 to be 100 years behind the, times, but in reality they are 50 years ahead of us, for it will take us 50 years to capture the things we bavé lost. He wears at home a suit of homespun woven by his wife, at present in disguise in a manufactured suit (which was very becoming, be- ing grey with blue tie and handker- chief, he was very alert, spoke very well with a slight accent, and says originality is the best quality it: handicraft. He is the founder of an association for women on : the farm, copied indirectly from On- tario , .Inetifutes:,.. ! n titoo !(jfe pression we hear the phrase, “beak: to the land.” It is. an . thm ' - n that we have not been failliiuL-havè not given, to it its right interpréta-! lion. It is an indication of a cure. Are we thinking of what paused-it? If we go hack it is uselqss unless our heads, hearts and hands jare prepared. The first question we! -ask is,, said Mr. Bouchard, is: (1) What is farming ? iSome say we must make it a fi- nancial success, but farming is much, more than a business that., must be made to pay, a farmer is nearly as much a consumer as he is a producer. He should1 be able to live a contented and peaceful life with plenty' of scope for originality (ohe : hriuise painted a band all around the. wall each year, also pictures, trying" to improve). (2) What is a standard of living? We are inclined to put it down in money or a salary. When a man is tired of his work lie goes away out in the bush and what kind of life does he live? What is his standard? If he is cfloan physically and morally, happy and contented, what more do you want? We should not ask which is : superior, the city or country, we are comp! : monetary and should not hol'd one above the. other, we should have a rural s’lubbery, we need a flavour of1 peasantry, (3) What is leisure? Wie t.h,ink of a farm as â-  a place of long houre,. but if your heart is in it it is a work of love for those you care most' about. He was one of a family of only ! fifteen children and so often be heard his mother say that she found refuge in weaving. Her ! (Continued on page four) YOUNG PEOPLE’S MEETING Monday evening’s Young People’s programme of Park St. Unite Church was well attended. Neil Wood had charge of the programme. Hazel Winter read an interesting story, while Betty Rowe read the scripture. Mr. and Mrs. Smith sang a vocal duet, accompanied.1 by Miss Myrtle Smith, While Jean Logan gave a piano selection, “In a Monas- tery Garden,” Miss Eileen Riddell gave the topic, choosing for her subject “The Ar- rangement of Worship Materials.” She stated that it was very im- portant; if you wish to create a closer relationship with Gtod and help young people to have religious experiences. A well planned worship service puts Godi within reach of those who other- wise might not find him. 'Let us look at some of the basic principlesâ€" ‘All life is rhythmic.” just as there is a physical basis of rhythm in. the heartbeat and in breathing, so the in- dividuals religious experience swings "rom times of more or loss intensity of emotion or strain, to periods of re- laxation and peace. “Law of Alteration”â€"Worship is a double movement, from heaven downward, which is revelation or guidance and from, the earth upward, which is. aspiration or desire. This is known as the law of alteration, be- tween the human- and divine. “Ou teenies of Worship”â€"It has been stated that in planning a devo- tional meeting there should be a definite aim or outcome , towards which the worship activities are to be illrecu-d. The. kind, of a worship service to be planned for is deter tini^l. by what it is supposed to ac- complish. : - ; P0NTYPÃ"0L Mrs. Roy Porter was a Saturday visitor to Petefbdfo.
