lolbor THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16th, 1948 CHECK THE DATE ON LABEL COLBORNE LADIES SHOW TALENT IN FASHIONS Afternoons and evenings of patient sewing had their reward last week when the ladies from Trenton, Frankford and Colborne who have attended the sewing classes under the direction of Miss Zelpha Easton, modelled their own handiwork at the Singer Sewing Machine Fashion Show. The following Colborne ladies took part in the fashion display: Mrs. E. O. Coyle modelled a dress of suedella crepe with long sleeves, plain high neck and zipper closing at the back. Mrs. F. R. Pember modelled a frock of soft black wool faille with draped hipline and drapes falling softly from the shoulder. Closely fitted sleeves were a special note. Mrs. B. J. Kernaghan modelled a navy wool crepe with a seven gored skirt, known as the shirtwaister. Mrs. W. C. Griffis wore a softly tailored dress suitable for any occasion using all wool faille with high "dandy" collar and long cuff sleeves. The pockets were distinctive and the skirt featured a three-gore back and inverted pelats at the centre front. Mrs. B. McManus modelled a two-tone two-piece, of light weight wool, with jacket featuring large patch ^pockets. Mrs. F. Griffis displayed the easy appeal of the beloved basic made of 100 per cent wool faille. The front button closing with high neck . was slenderizing and scallops on front of bodice gave a bolero effect. The softly flared skirt had 3 gores in the j ■back. Cuffed below the elbow \ sleeves were new. Mrs. C. C. Philp modelled a ver- , satile rayon bengaline with attractive j saddle stitching emphasizing the dart j trimmed bodice with its high slashed neck. FORMER LAKEPORT RESIDENT IS NOW HOSPITAL SUPT. The following item appeared in the Nov. 11, 1948, issue of The Brock-port Republic and Brookport Democrat, below the picture of Mrs. Frank Epke: "Mrs. Frank Epke, affectionately called Mae, and The Boss, by her friends, associates and patients in Lakeside Memorial Hospital. The great success of the hospital is due to the untiring efforts of this manager.

The number is expected to grow considerably when the new hospital building is erected and in operation. Mrs. Frank Epke, R.N., was born in Lakeport, Ontario, Mae H. Henderson, daughter of the late Captain James and Mrs. Henderson (nee Mae Barrett). After her mother's death she resided with her grandmother. She graduated from Highland Hospital, Rochester, N.Y.

SPORTS (by Paul Haynes) COLBORNE SKI CLUB On Friday evening, December 10th. a couple of interested sports people in Colborne, namely Mr. E. Howell and Mr. H. Grosjean, called a meeting for the forming of a Ski Club. It was called for 8 and as per usual got under way at 8.45. In all there was 26 present, with Mr. G. Davis and F. Cowie being the only other adults present, save the two mentioned above. There were a number of teenagers and their girls. But the people that called this meeting expected more people present, especially in the line of adults. The place picked out for the trials are in the Harnden Hill, just east of the main highway leading back from the barn at Mr. R. Harnden's. Mr. Howell and Mr. Grosjean have obtained permission from Mr. Harnden for the right to clear the fences and other obstructions east of the lane. They now. have a man down there taking out one old orchard, and if the Ski Club is not a success, I presume they will pay him from their own pockets. So let everybody turn out next meeting and make it a real success. Let everybody "hope for some snow. Anybody wishing to join the Club will please apply to Messrs. Howell and Grosjean, who have membership cards for sale. The fee is $2.00. Pins may also be obtainable j WICKLOW-VERNONVILLE In the near future, if the Club I .______ gets going, a tow will be erected on WOMEN'S INSTITUTE the hills for the use of the skiers. ' It will probably cost $5 to 35c for ' The December meeting of the Wick-use of it for one day. Next year there low and Vernonville Branch of the W. I. was held on Wednesday, December 8, at the home of Mrs. E. J. Kernaghan, the President. Following the business part of the meeting the Blue Cross hospital plan was discussed. A committee was appointed to make arrangements for sponsoring a play produced by the Castle-ton Continuation School. Mrs. C. H. Gillespie, the delegate | to the Belleville Convention gave her AT HOME Mrs. Leonard Trump At Home "Capstan Arms" Saturday, December 18th 3.30 to 5.00 will probably be a club house to get warm and have a hot drink. Mr. Howell showed some very interesting slides on the hills of Quebec. Some of the places mentioned were Gray Rock Inn and Collingwood. The Redbird Trail on hill 70 was also metione.d. This is the trail where McGill University holds its ski meets. Mr. Howell says we have some very good hills around Colborne. I guess that about winds up the reP°rt on that meeting, meeting.

E. S. at Brighton December 31st. Morgan, after eral years at the Carls-Rite Hotel, toured with his band to the West Coast with stop-over engagements of three and four week stands at such well known resorts and Nite Clubs as the Banff Springs Hotel, Jasper Lodge and The Cave, Vancouver. Coming east, Morgan has captivated the College and dance fans and possibly fills more assignments and return engagements than the large Name bands. _ His arrangements have a universal appeal running from sweet and swing to what the teen-agers describe as jump, with the occasional old time popular waltz or hoe-down to give the program variety. Guests of the O. E. S. at this gala event will find in the various changes of tempo and rhythm, the particular kind of dance music they prefer. In fact, there is something for every person in attendance. All in all, the New Year's Ball with the Percy Morgan Orchestra promises an enjoyable evening of danceable music and frivolity and we suggest that those wishig to attend secure tickets well in advance to avoid missing, what we would say, is the event of the season.

There is a real danger of his losing one or both of his legs. Both legs are affected by the disease--called thromboangiitis--which causes a continuous contraction of ~ kg arteries and obstructs the blood supply to the feet. The greatest peril fa that this supply may be altogether tut off, causing gangrene. It has been revealed that the King was first afflicted as far back as last October. While shooting at Sandringham he remarked on the numbness of one of his feet. Passing by a stone wall he kicked his boot against it and was surprised to And that he could feel no sensation. But he delayed letting his doctors know about it, and insisted on making several tiring public appearances late in October. His last such appearance was when he walked for two hours, sometimes over ploughed fields, at a Farm Engineering Show. Just before the royal birth, doctors were visiting him frequently, the crowds gathered outside the Palace imagining that they were there to see the Princess. Every effort is being made to make King George take plenty of rest, but he's a stubborn patient and it's said he has even refused to give up smoking. From time to time he has visited the royal baby, and he insists on keeping up with his work, such as carefully scanning all state papers before signing them. Just how it will all come out nobody--even the physicians--can do more than guess. But millions, in all parts of the world, when next they sing "God Save the King," will do so with more fervor and meaning than in the past. In the meantime other members of the Royal family --including Prince Philip--are taking over the scheduled' engagements ©f His Majesty. Japan It isn't many months since certain United States interests--the Hearst papers especially -- were boosting General Dauglas Mac-Arthur as the next President of the United States. Judging by he General** most recent actions. Americans may feel themselves lucky that they escaped such a fate as MacArthur acts pretty much as auch dicators as Mussolini and Hitler once did. In other words, what he says goes. As supreme commnndir in Japan, MacArthur was the sole reviewing authority on sentences passed on S5 Japanese war criminals. He confirmed all of these in a memo calling his action an "utterly repugnant" duty, and urging the Japs to mark the •even hangings with a day of prayers of peace. But just what that day was to be, MacArthur wasn't saying. Reporters were barred.as witnesses to the executions, and even personal appeals to the general, asking that the bodies of the executed men be returned to their families went unanswered. Of course, those eor.demned to death included former Premier Tojo and several high ranking Jap military men. One cannot help wondering whether--had the executions been those of common privates, the General would have acted in quite such an "up-stage" manner. Some Juicer!--If you plan to iiold open house this New Year's,* how about a "fruit twicer" like this. It will take a pretty big house to accomodate it though, because the *juicer" is really a 60-ton needle valve which will help rontrol the flow of millions of gallons of water. Not A Worm, But A Kiss--This "'early bird"--a pet canary owned by Alice Simpson of Winnipeg, gets a "Good morning" kiss from the family spaniel. The dog seems unafraid, and vice-versa. Dog's, name, by the way, is "Manitoba Red Queen" which is- why we omitted the name of the Province after "Winnipeg." w.A SixbitGg otic '"The most outstanding thing about Canadian - foaled horses," spoke up a trainer of Hibernian ancestry, "is that they do continually a-beating of one another." Sometimes, when on a Monday morning we scan the National Hockey League weekend results, we cannot help thinking of that opinion. The boys "do continually be a-beating of one another" and no mistake, and the form reversals-- sometimes overnight -- would be highly shocking if they occurred on the race track. But, of course, in hockey nobody pays any attenion to such things. With the scramble stuff they call hockey nowadays, anything may happen--and usually does. The way the schedules are arranged--so as not to miss any of those highly lucrative Saturday and Sunday crowds--isn't what you might call conducive to formful playing. And when, recently, the Maple Leafs had to play no less than four games in the space of five days -- we'l, what could you expect? Those same Maple Leafs still seem to be--rat this time of writing --to be suffering slightly from too much success in the past. They can't seem to get out of their minds the fact that they were world champions for two years in a row, and that their mere reputations should be enough to make some of these "Johnny-come lately" outfits throw up hands and say "Uncle." This the opposing clubs just plain refuse to do -- the upstarts! -- with the result that many loyal Maple Leaf fans, those of the radio variety in particular, have been going around since the season opened, wearing a slightly dazed and bewildered ex-pression. However they're probably doing a lotof unnecessary worrying. Taken on mathematical percentage alone, it's easier to get intp the National playoffs than it is to stay out of them; and and we have no doubt that they'll be there or thereabouts when the real shooting starts, they're too good a club--with too much reserve strength in back of them to be in any real danger of elimination. Still, when playoff-time arrives, we feel that the Leafs are in for much stronger opposition than they met last year, or the year ->e- That Detroit club looks as if it would cause any of them plenty of grief, and Les Canadiens and Boston Bruins can neither of them be left out of your calculations. And as long as Roy Conacher and one or two more of the Black Hawks last there's even a possibility of the Chicago team being up there st season's end--which would doubtless be the biggest shock Windy City folks received since Truman K.Oed what-was-his-name? In the meantime--or so they tell us, as we do not often have a chance of hearing him in person--Foster Hewitt remains in good form and voice. And so long as that is the case,, what more can the millions of long-distance M.L. fans wish for? So long as Foster can keep up that pitch of excitement--so long as he can sound as though the Leafs have a chance, even if four goals behind and with ;four seconds to go-- all is well wittt those who believe that big-time hockey is an exclusively Saturday night affair. There are plenty of them, too, more power to them. In fact if we ercised the greatest influence in Canadian hockey during the past couple of decades, it wouldn't be a star player such as Syl Apps we'd name; it wouldn't be an owner such as Conny Smythe; it wouldn't be a coach such as Dick Irwin or Jack Adams. It would be Foster Hewitt-- the voice of hockey--whose word-pictures of the game may lean slightly to the sensational, but who has built up for the Leafs a following that is probably unique in all the world of sport, with the exception of the Notre Dame Football Team. that anywhere would be a :, but t for i Doi team representing what is probably the most-disliked city in Canada-- Hogtown!--well, it's no wonder our vote wouldgo for Foster H. as the outstanding hockey figure of the year--any yearo We never heard him broadcast a chess game; but we'd bet he could make it sound as though the ringsiders were hanging on the ropes with their elbows. The Winner!--After a one day bloodless revolution a Venezuela military junta seized control of that oil-rich nation. Former Defense Minister Chal-baud will serve as President, the army announced. SALLY'S SALLIES Protected by Law Moose do Comeback It's odd to reflect that the lordly, heavy-antlered moose, once the boldly through the woods--right j i'mi ' past red-jaokcled hunters with their j ery. t«. as one great bull moose die! the • other day, and romp about in a man'» garden while the house-holder helplessly says "Shoo" and wishes the ungainly visitor with the misguided sense of humor would go fact, did go away finally, but halted in the middle of a street and brought traffic to a standstill while it figured out which direction was back to the woods. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING . Protected By Law Moose can be indifferent to humans these days because they have ■ been protected by law in New Brunswick ever since 1937, and no one seems to know it better than the animals hemselves do. At that time, the loss of life caused by hunter's rifles and the tick had seriously thinned out the moose population. The surviving animals were retreating away from timberlands where extensive lumbering operations, had destroyed much of the natural cover. Food was harder for them to get, because of the ravages of plagues, and the decrease in the number , of beavers meant fewer dammed-up streams and lily ponds for the moose to browse in. Predictions were heard on all sides that, like caribou, which were seen in herds of ISO to 200 in New Brunswick during the last century, moose would soon be extinct as far as that province was concerned. So moose-hunting was stopped. Since then, year by year, the huge creatures have been making a slow but steady comeback. About three years ago a census taken by game wardens during the Winter, when moose are concentrated in "yards," estimated there were about 7,720 in New Brunswick. This scounds like a lot, perhaps--but actually it is less than half the number of deer shot each Fall in the province. Last year the annual report of the Department of Lands and Mines commented with satisfaction that the moose population was continuing to especially in the northern ■ntral areas. Father of Railways The lives of millions of people all over the world have been influenced by the life and work of a Northumberland pit-boy, George Stephenson, the centenary of whose death was celebrated this year, Stephenson's first job was underground, and he would not read till he was eighteen, but before his death at Chesterfield, when he was rich and successful, he had ensured great and lasting fame by his invention of his steam locomotive, the Rocket, forefather of the great locomotives of today. His first money was earned by the princely sum of twopence a day, but in his spare time he made clay engines and used hemlock for SEWING MACHINE PARTS all Makes we Convert vour Ola TreadJ to Electric.

GOD REST YE, MERRY GENTLEMEN God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay, Remember, Christ our Saviour was born on Christmas Day, To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray, O tidings of comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy! fn Bethlehem, in Jewry, this blessed Babe was" born, And laid upon a manger upon this blessed morn, The which His Mother Mary, did nothing take in scorn, Q tidings of comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy! Now to the Lord sing praises, all you within this place, And with true love and brotherhood, each other now embrace, This holy tide of Christmas all others doth deface, 0 tidings of comfort and joy, 6 tidings of comfort and joy! AWAY IN A MANGER Away in a manger, no crib for His bed. The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head. The stars in the sky, looking down where he lay The little Lord Jesus, asleep in the hay. The cattle are lowing, the poor babe awakes. But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes. I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky. And stay by my crib watching my lullaby. O HOLY NIGHT O Holy Night, the stars are brightly shining, It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth; Long lay the world in sin and error pining, Till lje appeared and the soul felt His worth; A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn, Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices, O night divine, O night when Christ was born; O night divine, O night, O night divine. GOOD KING WENCESLAS - Good King Wenceslas went out on' the Feast of Stephen. When the snow lay 'round about, deep and crisp and even; Brightly shone the moon that night, tho' the frost was cruel. When a poor man came in sight, gathering winter fuel. "Hither, page, and stand by me, If thou know'st it telling, Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?" "Sire, he lives a good league hence, Underneath the mountain. Right against the forest fence, By Saint Agnes fountain" "Bering me flesh and bring me wine, bring me pine-logs hither: Thou and I will see him dine, when we bear them thither. Bage and monarch forth they went forth they went together; Through the rude winds wild lament, and the bitter -weather. "Sire, the night is darker now and the wind blows stronger, Fails my heart, I know not how I can go on longer" Mark my footsteps my good page, tread thou in them boldly. Thou shalt feel the winter's rage freeze thy blood less coldly V* In his master's steps he trod where the snow lay dinted Heat was in the very sod which the saint had printed. Therefore, Christian men, be sure wealth or rank possessing. Ye who now will bless the poor shall yourself find blessing. ffltxxp Cfcrfetma* anb JMppp J?eto Stat IN CHRISTMAS MOOD There'll be plenty of Christmas mu-ic on the Tuesday, December 21, program of Canadian Cavalcade.

The root of the compulsion to overeat is in maladjusted personalities, doctors report, and sugar --a favorite among foods--is consumed in excessive amounts along with other items in the diet. Glandular Balance Out of 1000 cases of excessive body weight, only one percent suffered from lack of glandular balance, and all the others simply ate too much food, according to a bulletin issued by the Sugar Research Foundation of New York. Psychic Upsets Following interviews with 500 obese patients, Dr. S. Charles Freed, a San Francisco physician reports in a medical journal that 370 gorged themselves after such psychic ups"ets as grief or disappointment. Another 95 said they ate more when idle, bored or tired. Altogether 93 percent recognized anxiety as the cause of their trouble. Dr. Freed suggests that all medical men make patients aware of the psychological urges behind overeating. Obesity is such a wide spread menace to health that psychiatrists alone cannot cope with the problem. Psychic urges are so pewerful that sometimes a patient will not stop overeating even if warned that it may mean early death, says Dr. Freed. Such a person is in the same fix as the alcoholic who cannot control his drinking. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH FOR THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO ' ! Christmas Seals are the emblem of i a crusade for health.

Do not leave lights burning in empty rooms, halls, basement, attic, porch and garage. At the evening study or reading hours, group the family around the reading lamp and turn off other lights. Replace large light bulbs with smaller ones. Where water is electrically heated, use hot water sparingly. Watch the switches on your range, your iron and other appliances. Turn them off as quickly as possible. Often the stored heat will finish the jobs. Use "High" heat for as short a time as possible for cooking or for boiling water. Don't let motors on motor-driven equipment run needlessly in home or factory. In factory, store or office, don't light a row or cluster of overhead lights when a single light nearby will do.

(Continued from last week) "I'll sure be glad to get back, too," he added. "Loafing is fine for a time but then you get fed up with it." He took out his pipe and filled it." "I've had my say. Now, let's hear about you," he suggested and lit his pipe. Honey's brow clouded. "There isn't much to tell," she faltered. "I am an orphan since my grandmother died several years ago. I live by myself and do as I please and have a very good time. Even walking with Art, and listening to his soft, interesting voice could not erase Dan from her mind. She kept remembering that he thought of her as a thief and would have her arrested when he found she was still alive. His love would not interfere with what he deemed "A penny for your thoughts. They must be interesting to take you so far away," said her companion, recalling her to the present. "I'm sorry," she apologized. "They aren't for sale." "Ah, a man then. When a girl is secretive abbout what she is thinking, it's always a man." "I won't argue the point." she laughed, "because lawyers have a way of winning their points." "We sure try hard." Honey rode into the village with Art for the mail in the late afternoon. It seemed she had known him always and not just since early morning. While he assorted and opened his letters, he handed her the paper to read. The headlines, of course, were al! about the crash. There among the list of victims was her name, Honey Monroe of Los Angeles. She looked up to see Art Carey reading the same list over her shoulder. Surprise crossed his face and he lifted his eyes and met hers squarely. There was a hint of inquiry in the depths of his but he said nothing. Honey lowered her gaze quickly and continued to read the other captions on the front page while a flush of guilt burned her cheeks. A moment later, she caught her breath and a. sob rose to her throat as her eyes fell or an item near the bottom of the page, CHAPTER VII With hands that shook uncontrollably, Honey folded the evening paper carefully, trying to pretend that all was well when her whole world was about to crumble, and handed it back to Art. That last article she had read was about Daniel Brewster. He was in the hospital, the paper said, hovering between life and death. His assailant was unknown and there seemed to be a cloak of mystery surrounding the affair. The police, it said were inclined to believe that a woman was involved, since the bedroom door was locked from the inside and escape had been made by sheets over the balcony, and the knots were not the kind usually made by The smile she tried to give Art was a mere shadow and her lips trembled, but she held back the grief that wanted to come out. .When she could speak without giving herself away, she said lightly: "Newspapers do get things and names wrong now and then, don't they?" "Do they?" he" asked stiffly, and she knew instantly that he was wondering why she had lied about her name. "I wonder?" Her heart cried out in agony to go to Dan, but common sense told her to stay under cover until he was well enough to talk to her. That was her only chance of security. As for Joe, she reasoned, he would see her name among the crash victims and would cease to look fo/ her. She was so deep in her own thoughts that she jumped when Art spoke to her. "You wouldn't care to explain some things. Honey?" "I'd like- to, yes--but 1 can't," she told him earnestly, feeling terrible that he had caught her in a falsehood when he and his mother' had taken her in so gladly. and without asking questions. "Please believe me. Art." she implored. "And your- name really is Honey Monroe?" he kept on with determination seeking the truth anyway. "Yes." "Ma thinks you are on the level," he reminded her unrelentlessly, pipe between his teeth. She flinched and lowered her head in shame. Tears stung at the back of her eyes hotly. "1 know," she whispered. "I am awfully sorry." "You are afraid of something,' he continued as if reasoning things out for her. "I have seen it in your eyes all day. And just now something in the paper made you catch your breath for a moment and it tore at your heart." "Does nothing escape you?" she asked him softly. He did not answer her question, just ignored her interruption. "You want to hide for some reason. All right." There was firm decision in his voice. He picked up the paper and threw it out of the car. "We lost the paper when Ma asks for it. The wind got it." "Thank you," she said chokingly, and the tears spilled over the lashes this time and she did not try to stop them for a moment. He put a hand over hers gently, comfortingly. "You will tell me some time all about it, Honey, and until then, it is all right. You need a friend and I am it. Now we will forget troubles for a while." He lifted his voice to a more cheerful note. "Would you like to go hshing tomorrow?" "Oh, Art!" she said forcing a ghost of a smile. "I'd love to go fishing.
