They 'both have good positions and thelr father thinks they should give us token board, though we would only save it and add to it for their future. 1 do not agree, nor do they--they say none of their friends do such a thing and they would be ashamed to admit they were asked to. "I argue that we do not need their help, and with prices so high I am sure they can us? gll they make. We have a nice home, garden and cars, and the older girl plans to commute to a nearby town to work With winter coming on, she wants to take an apartment there with another girl. Her father dis- approves. "Her sister is engaged and will probably be married in a few months, so I don't see any point in her paying board. Then why should the other one?

There is always something in- teresting going on. At least it is interesting to me so I can only hope it is also interesting to you. Take last Tuesday for in- stance. That was the day the Salada-Sherriff-Horsey company gave their annual tea to W.I representatives who were invit- ed to see the handicraft exhibit and to hear the prize-winning announcements. This year the tea was held at the Royal York Hotel. The contest took the: form of a Quilt Block competition for which there were 61 entries. The block patterns were arranged in loose-leaf albums with hand- somely decorated hard covers. Some of the patterns were old designs carefully treasured from one generation to another. Others were comparatively new and one had to be original. All the work was of excellent quality includ- ing the beautiful designs in quilt- ing. In fact the workmanship was so good I am sure the judges must have had a hard time reaching a decision. However, probably their work was made a little easier through the gen- erosity of the sponsors who of- fered not only three prizes but $10 each to the ten entries re- ceiving "honourable mention. The 1st prize award was given to the West'End W.I. of Guelph; the 2nd to West Fort William; and the 3rd to Elder Mills, Woodbridge. The ten awards went to the following districts: Sheddon; Gorrie, Appin, King City, Sault Ste. Marie, Dublin, Watford, Desboro, Kingston and Burgessville. ' It was a very happy, friendly afternoon for everyone. Not only was it a grand opportunity to see at first hand a splendid dis- play of rural talent but it also gave W.I. members from far and », wide one more occasion to meet their Provincial officers and other W.I. personnel and to dis- cuss their common. problems one with another. I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed it. This of course, is only a brief acfount. You will naturally read more about it in your next issue of Home. and Country and from your area representative. It seemed to me the idea of a quilt-block contest was a happy thought; helping to keep alive one of Canada's native arts. It would be too bad if it should ever die out. It is an art that includes skill, artistic ability and requisites of good workmanship. Certainly the W.I. as a whole owes a debt of gratitude to the Salada-Sherriff-Horsey Company for their generous sponsorship of this worthwhile project. Re- membering we may find it adds an extra flavour to the cup that cheers and our morning toast and marmalade. Well, I had just nicely caught my breath as it were, after Tues- day's affair when along comes an invitation to a tea at the C.N.E. It was for the first Thursday when all the exhibits were nice and fresh, But it was raining and I wondered -- should I or shouldn't I go? In the end I don- ned. sloshers, raincoat and cap, and sallied forth with an umbrel- la, hoping the weather would clear before too long. It did, so my optimism was justified. 1 soon noticed the grounds at the C.N.E. had had a 'face lift- ing. All along the front, where there used to be nothing but cars, there are now lovely gar- dens, and no less than three water fountains, spilling over into huge greenlined basins. Even the light standards. are eye- catching. Atop each pole flies a flag; a few, feet down is the light itself and some distance beneath it flower baskets en- circle the pole from which are growing flowering plants and hanging vines. Certainly the new arrangement along the front pre- - sents a far more pleasing ap- pearance than before and elimin- dtes a lot of the unwelcome lit- ter that used to be the first thing one saw. The new mam- moth water fountain is also quite lovely. In fact to all outward appearances the C.N.E. is much improved. As for the exhibits I am not in a position to say too much as I was only in a few of the buildings) I noticed there was more originality than usual at the Flower Show. The Govern- ment Building had well arranged informative displays and the quality and variety of work shown in the Queen Elizabeth Building was marvellous. I was particularly impressed by a fine- ly worked, hand-hooked rug. Beautiful design and the size was about 9 x 12. This prize-winning entry came from Ottawa. It being Press and Radio Day 1 noticed many well-known per- ""Janet Jean" Where Men Of The Bible Dwelt "Up there," my guide sald much too casually to suit me, "js Mount Nebo where Moses showed the promised land to the children of Israel." We were deep in the flat bed of the Jordan River valley. The Dead Sea, 1,300 feet below sea level, was only a step away. The surrounding gray, bar- ren hills and mountains were transformed by sunset glow into subdued tints of orange and purple. It was not too difficult to roll back the centuries to the days when the men of the Bible dwelled here, About two hours earlier we had entered the tropically warm valley, descending slowly from the heights of Ammam, the capi- tal of Jordan. There were occasional. or- chards of -lenton, orange, and banana trees, but most of the land was dry and unworked and tired. We suddenly came upon the Rivgr Jordan and I fumbled for my camera. My driver guide arrested my hopes before I could draw a bead on the winding ; 30-foot stream and its banks. On both sides of the bridge crossing the Jordan were Jordan Legionnaires in their red and white checkered headress. It was an off-limits military outpost. For the third time since depart- ing from Amman, I had to pro- duce my passport. Because, said the drvier, "these fellowes know me," we skipped ahead of five cars of passengers at the check point and shortly slowed down behind a truck sprinkling the streets . of new Jericho. . Apparently accustomed to peo- ple in a hurry, he tried to dodge up a side street to save time and it was not easy to persuade him grassy that crawling behind a water * sprinkler and looking at the lush vegetation of the Jerich oasis was sheer delight on a stifiling day. . All the way from Amman I had been talking about old Jericho and every time the driver had diverted the conver- sation to Qsar Hisham (which he said he would gladly show me for anther dollar). So off we went and were re- warded by the ruins of a palace 1,200 years old. The mosaics were all he sald and more. Now, he proclaimed, as he prevented me for the third time from taking a picture of Mount Temptation rising abruptly from the valley floor several miles away, we will go to Old Jericho where you will get the best pic- ture, writes Courtney Sheldon in The Christian Science Monitor. En route were the reminders of today's unsolved human rela- tions -- the camps of 80,000 Palestinian refugees. The broad valley swallowed them up as it they were mere desert villages. Hoping for the day they can return to their former homes in Israel, they live in huts and are given the necessitles of life by the United Nations. Clouds of dust swept through the middle of the camps. It was easy to see why most of the sonalitles here and there.

Just as the excavations of old Jericho rose into view we began passing hundreds of refugee wo- men on. their way to and from Elisha's well. They balanced water jugs on their heads and were marvelously erect. The refugees settled along the Jordan because of its warmth during the winter. After 10 years, most of them are sald by UN officials to have little inter- est in being résettled under more ' favorable conditions, They are not starving or oppressed and prefer to remain as a reminder to thé world of their hopes to return to Israel. Surrounded by wire fencing, Old Jericho is not extensively . uncovered. Portions of towers and the footings of the walls which "fell flat" when "they blew with the trumpets" can be seen. 4 On the move again, we halt- ed at the Dead Sea where a new . hotel is rising on the north shore. Not far away is where the Jordan empties into the sea, A few miles upstream is where, it is said, Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. The road to the river is unmarked as are many other highways.

Sometimes their pursuits are in- nocent, but not always. If their guilty secret is discovered by a blackmailer -- or any other sort 0? crook -- they're in trouble. In the U.S.A. a prominent law-"~ .ver was leading a double life. Respectably married, he was at the same time "carrying on" with his secretary. Once he took her for a drive in the country. They stooped in a lonely lane and, suddenly, two gunmen ap- peared. . . The bandits were men who specialized in robbing {furtive lovers. They kept watch on lone- ly places, knowing that the man would always pay up.and the woman would rarely scream. The victims never wanted any publicity. In this case, although the lawyer had a gun in his pocket, he meekly handed over his mon- 'ey to save his reputation. But the bandits went too far. One of them took a fancy to the pretty secretary and tried to pull her out of the car. The lawyer saw red, pulled out his gun and shot the gunman dead but received fatal wounds him- self from the bullets of the other bandit. Some crooks lead double lives, too. A prominent Montreal in- surance broker would leave I office fashionably dressed and' enter his chauffeur-driven lim ousine, Later, dressed in an old cap and sweater, he would leave the car to go and hold up a bank. He would race back to the car with his loot and, by the time it pulled up outside his office, - * he was ready to step out beauti- fully dressed, and enter his apartment in a'dignified manner, 'An English author was at the same time a recelver of stolen. property.
