They want to know and to understand other women's problems and how they deal with them. If it were not so, why would five hundred W.I. members travel many miles to Guelph to hear Mrs. Alice Berry from Australia, president of the. Associated Countrywo- .men of the World. Of course they wanted ot hear her--and none that I know of came away disappointed. In this column I make no attempt to report ver- batim this or any other meeting but I like to sort of give you a For instance, I was much im- pressed with the wonderful job of preparation that must have preceded the banquet given in honour of Mrs. Berry. Five hun- dred tickets, neither more nor less, were available for the ban- - quet and these tickets were dis- tributed among 'the various 'branches weeks ahead of time; the number of tickets allotted to" each branch being carefully worked out on a percentage basis according to membership. Late applicants could get tickets only if there were cancellations. This exact distribution of tickets naturally simplified the job of catering. And what a meal that was! Chicken dinner, done to a turn and cnough on every plate to satisfv the heartiest appetite. Following the toasts there was "community singing led by Padre W. A.

Chairs backing the head table were turned around so the entire audience faced the speakers. The head table guests, in pro- posing and responding to the various toasts, contributed a lot to the program, as did the Campus Choristers with their delightful group singing. Mrs. Gordon MacPhatter, president F.W.1.O., warned Dr. MacLach- lan that the 60th W.I. Anniver- sary was coming up next year when the O.A.C. would probably be once more involved in W.IL Mrs, Berry chose as the theme of her address "When you have friends and neighbours, the world is a happier place." Homely words but with a depth of meaning. If I may add my own observation I would say we need to do everything we can to foster the relationship be- tween friends and neighbours. It is a relationship we are in danger of losing, what with tele- vision and easy transportation to nearby towns and cities. Sometimes we may think we can get along without friends and neighbours but then some- thing happens--an accident or illness in the family---neighbours come to the rescue and then we realise we can't get along with- out them at all. But of course Mrs. Berry's meaning had a wider significance, implying that neighbourliness now recognises no boundaries; the only barriers that exist are in our under- standing of one another among different races and creeds -- - boundaries that can and should be overcome, Mrs. Berry can speak with authority as her tra- vels take her to many countries of the world where she is given the opportunity to observe rural living conditions in each coun- Ary 'that she visits. The next time Mrs. Berry meets with our W.I. Provincial officers will bein Ceylon at the Tri-Annual Convention of the ACWW. I am sure everyone is glad that Mrs. Gordon Mac- Phatter will be on that trip. It will be a fitting finish to her years of service, faithfully ful- filled on behalf of the W.L members of Ontario, At the conclusion of the ban- quet at Guelph the 500 delegates filed out of Creclman Hall, chat- ting, laughing and exchanging greetings with fellow members from many parts of Ontario, many of whom never 'see each other exeent ot W.IL gatherings. Ae 1 si00d to ¢ eo side watching the orderly exit from the Hall I thought what a good illustra- tion it was of Mrs. Berry's theme "when you have friends and neighbours the world is a hap-. pier place." Outside the hall the crowds dispersed, some to wait- ing cars, a few to chartered buses. It was after eleven o'clock and many of the women were a long distance from home. I hgpe everyone of them had someone at home to take over the chores "next morning so mother, sister or. daughter could sleep in, Or even convention-trotting grand- ma . . . but definitely. For grandma doesn't stay home with - her knitting, these days. She is often the most enthusiastic W.I member of the family, And when it comes to conventions and such.like, she is right there, Johnny - on - the -spot. I wish sometime_ the chairman of one of these conventions would ask for a showing of hands from the grandmothers present. Obviously grandmother never had it so good.. They take 'over while the younger women raise their fam- ilies. Or they baby-sit while daughter goes to the meetings. Inv that way we have a happy mingling of young and old, all the way from officials to ordi- nary members. "Young and old" dig I say? That is a mistake. It should be "the young and the not-quite-so-young."~ After all, even globesgncircling Mrs. Ber- ry is a grandmother--and no one could think of her as old!- TEACHER COPY Films and television programs of the "cop and robbers" sort which "teach people the modus operandi of committing higher crimes" were sharply question- 'by Superior Judge Charles. W. Fricke of Los Angeles when he recently sentenced a man to prison for robbery. 4 The defendant had claimed that he acquired his technique 'by. watching a TV crime pros gram, This might have been a Jast- ditch defence, or it might have been the truth. But it does call attention to "teacher copy," as the police call instruction in criminal met- hods presented in the guise of entertainment. J The device should 'be avoided and discouraged. Not by cen- sorship but by rvoluntary re- straint, This requires judgment,' ex- pert council and a proper real- ization that some weak and greedy minds are too often apt to put "teacher copy" to prac- tical test.

The aborigine, cursed by his, mother-in-law, believed that a snake would crush the air from his body. His legs and arms be- came 'stiff, He could not move his fingers. He complained of a mysterious pressure, around his chest.. Experts advised doctors that this tribal "unseen snake" curse works because the victims be- lieve it works, To counter it patients_must have treatment for their psychological condition rather than their physical state. This view is backed yp in Mr. Winns 'book, an impartial survey of spiritual and divine healing, by a case which is on the medical files of an English hospital. For many years a woman had suffered from a strange form of skin trouble. Whenever she went out into the daylight, her skin blistered and came up into great weals, giving her agoniz- ing pain. Only if she stayed in- doors behind drawn curtains could she get relief. It was a condition which baf- fled every dermatologist who examined her, Then the chaplain of the hos- pital managed to win her con- fidence. It. appeared that the woman had been living under a' cloud of worry. She believed that when she went out her neighbours pointed at her de- nouncing her as a "wicked . woman" because of the company she kept. It grew steadily in her mind into an obsession which finally manifested itself in this skin dis- ease, The chaplain was able to con- vince her, with the help of the Bible, that she could. go away to another town and start life again. - 'Within four days, miraculous- ly, every sore on her face had begun to heal; within two weeks the hospital discharged her, com- pletely cured and unscarred. Modern Etiquette... Q. Are there any special oc- casions when a man precedes a woman whom he is accompany- - ing? A. Yes -- when the way is uncertain or dangerous, such as when pushing their way through a boisterous crowd. He also pre- cedes her when alighting from a vehicle so that he can better assist -her in alighting. Q. How long should a widow wear deep mourning after the death of her husband? A. Deep mourning is very seldom worn these days. It is all right to wear a touch of white with dark clothing. The usual time is a year. Q. At which side of a person at the table are the beverages placed, filled, and removed? A. At his right. : 'Q. When there are a good many people present on some" formal occasion, is it essential that any one guest be introduced to every other member of the group? A. No. A new arrival may be introduced to one or two per- sons, or he may be left to talk with those nearby without ex- changing names. Q. Is it obligatory to send a wedding gift when one has been - factories. TT invited enly to the ceremony, but not to the reception? A. No. Q. Should watermelon be eat- en with the spoon or fork? A. Either is acceptable, al- though I should think the fork is more practical. Q. I have just returnéd. from a week-end visit in the home of my fiance's' parents, who live im ° another city. How can- I show my appreciation of their' hos- pitality? A. You must, of course, write that "bread-and-butter" - letter as soon as possible. And if therq is anything you: think they can use in their home, it would bas nice to send them such a gift. Q. When entertaining a few friends at home, and there is ne servant, whose duty is it to mix the cocktails, the wife's. or the husband's? A. This is always the duty of the husband, Q. Is it -permissible to leam across one person to shake hands "with another? A. Only if you beg the pardon of the person across whom you are reaching. Q. Is it correct for a man ta use green ink for his goka) cor- respondence? A. No; his ink should he either black. or. navy blue.
