I couldn't agree less with the author of a recent article who suggested we abolish the church bazaar. Her argument was that this form of money raising effort for any cause was beneath the intelligence of modern woman. Bazaars and rummage sales have not only, filled the coffers of womens' institutes throughout the land, but they have paid off the mortgages on many of our town churches and contributed vast sums to any number of charitable institutions. Volunteer contributions, as she suggests, or tithing would never have the same results. The author claims a bazaar is merely a sweat shop effort, depriving merchants of required sales and I resent the article's inference that it takes little originality, no creativity and less brain power to launch a successful ba- ght to know, I was on< Joed with the convenership of church bazaar and if ever I put ingenuity to work and was amazed at the tireless co-operation of i large group of women, it was during the six weeks of prepara->n that, preceeded that sale. Bazaars are not all pot holders and baby socks. They are an annealing process for temperament, breeder of contentions that must be amicably settled giving stature to individuals and finally, they are a proving ground for friendships and social demeanor.

These, it appeared vere fine for a rink, but. too dar-ng for a church hall. When I got the show on the road I had made and broken more friendships only to be mended again, poured more,oil on troubled waters and m<rae more concessions to keep the peace than I had ever imagined in my most christian mood I could be capable of doing. I had sewn most of the lampshades myself and finished the cock -- pardon tablecloths to the last sequin. But I was ecstatic. It was a ! success, garnered $500. for the work of the Ladies' Aid and taught me a lesson in co-opera- Yes, bazaars and rummage sales are necessary, if only as a leav-ener of human emotions. But in this age of packaged mixes, I still look forward to the date in November, when I can purchase in honest to gosh homemade ake at our annual church bazaar. Every day the General Motors plant at Oshawa unloads 150 highway transports and 45 railway cars representing 1,000,000 pounds of materials for building munity, was invited to attend meeting of church women. I shortcut the way I was inveigled into accepting the convenership. As my nature is always invigorated by the prospect of expression and originality, I dashed in where angels (at least all those angels sitting around plan that bazaar) fear to tread. Be Original by all Means This bazaar, I decided, was go-| ing to be different. I fired my committee's enthusiasm with plans for a lampshade booth, a felt booth where original petticoats for Christmas trees all sparkly with sequins and cloths for holiday cocktail tables would be on sale.
