Of Many Things by Ambrose Hills THE IMPORTANCE OF HOME I have had occasion to spend a good deal of time with older people lately, and in my dealings with them I have found thing that seems always to e up. They insist, 'without exception, that when they look back over their lives the most important memories are of home ... the homes they lived in as children, and the homes they provided for their families. One old man told me sadly that, "I guess I put less effort into my home than anything, but got more out of it." He said that if he had it to do over again, he would work just as hard at being a good member of the family circle as he did at being a successful preacher. That made me thing of Maur- Chevalier who, at 70, is creating new and fabulous suc-Chevalier has been he had made several fortunes, but he kept his life very simple. "My life has always ■entered in my home," he said recently. He spends his money carefully, and most of it goes into his home. None of it goes bluff others about his wealth. He doesn't gad around. He ;pends many nights just watching television, and he goes to bed early. " I want to live the kind of life I believe in," he ;aid, "and not the phony kind." It seems to me Chevalier has the right idea. I am pleased that TV seems to be helping to make home a central part of our lives hese days, although I wish it could be done without too much vatching. A nation of citi-raised in good homes is going to be a good nation, and I read that in China the com-unists are taking children away from the family as soon as possible, and raising them impersonally i n communes. I grieve for those children, and for China itself. What millions of fine memories are being destroyed! And worst of all, those who are perpetrating this terrible thing are doing it in the name of humanity. They are convinced they are being virtuous, because they believe that in the long run China will profit from it. That, to my mind, is the curse of these "isms." They all claim great virtue. They all seem able to commit the most heinous crimes while mouthing pious platitudes about tha systems they are building! The first Girl Guide Company ' in Canada was formed in 1909 in St. Catharines, Ont., and registered in England early in 1910. By 1917 the Movement was sufficiently strong to be granted an Act of Incorporation by the , Government of Canada. $49.95 BEDROOM SUITE The Famous Chiffonier, Bookcase headboard GENDRON STROLLERS|l| bed, Double Dresser, Springs Footrest, Canopy and |[ and Mattress.
