| BROOKLIN NEWS For Coming Events -- News Articles -- Advertising -- Church Activities Raglan News The UCW of Raglan Church met at the home of Mrs. Clayton Miller. A hymn was sung and the Lord's Prayer recited, following this the devotion was taken by Mrs. Don Ferguson. Mrs. L. Evans read the minutes of the last meeting and called the roll. Treasurer's report was given by Mrs. IH. Bray. The main topic of discus- sion was the Bazaar to be held on Sat., Nov. 24th, at 2.30 in the new Christian -Education building. This will be an opportunity for the public to share in the pride of accomplish ment of this Church Hall. A cordial invitation is extended to all to attend this: excellent country Bazaar, with it's fine display of home baking and handicrafts, The Bazaar will be offi- cially opened by Mrs. Rundle, of St. Stephens Church, Oshawa, President of the UCW. . As is the custom in other years, when the Grandmothers and the Mo- thers of the Raglan Church, alternate entertaining for the annual Christ. mas Party, this year the Grand- mothers take their turn and are the hostesses for the Dec. bth, meeting which will be in the new Christian Education Building, at 12 o'clock noon. This Building was erected only through the hard work and unselfish giving of this small rural community at Raglan, following through this pattern, instead of a gift exchange at the Dec. Christmas Party, the money ordinarily used for this will be pooled to purchase necessary equipment for the new Church Hall. At the last meeting of the Raglan School S.0.S., the three teachers were in attendance, Mrs. F. Auld, Mrs. L. Steadman, and Mr. W. Baluk. The meeting was at the home of Mrs. J. K. Lawrence, the President Mrs. G. Solomnn opened the meeting, the min- utes were read by the Secretary Mrs. Lois Luke, Mrs. J. Bright gave the Treasurer's report. One of the recent purchases of the SOS, a record player, was tested at the meeting and met the delighted approval of all present. Because the new School at Raglan has not yet been completed, plans for Christnias Parties would be kept to a Grade grouping level, but as soon as the School was opened, a program for the parents would be arranged. The Nov. meeting will be at the home of the President, Mrs. G. Solomon, on Nov. 21st at 8 o'clock. Lunch was gerved by the committee consisting of Mrs. E. Manns, Mrs. E. Layng, Mrs. L. Luke and Mrs. C. Miller. The Nov. Meeting of 1st Raglan Parents Committee and Ladies Auxi- | liary took place in Raglan Hall, and opening remarks were made by the President Mrs. L. Luke, following this and entertaining film entitled "Assignment Children" featuring Dan- | ny Kaye, was shown. This film is made available to the public through | UNICEF at a small charge, and His. trates the miracles wrought by the penniés collected by the children at | Hallowe'en. The monies collected are used only for sick and underprivileged children in far off lands. Mr. and Mrs... Don Ferguson kindly donated their services as projectionists for the film. The large audience of Cubs, Scouts, Brownies and Guides as well as other children proves the interest and un- gelfishness of children. Following the! "movement. film a short business meeting took place. The Secretary's report was given by Mrs, H. Lawrence; Treasur- er's reports by Mrs. J. Bright for the Parent's Committee, and Mrs, E. Manns for the Ladies Auxiliary. Be- cause of the success of serving lunch at the Barn Dance at Stew Bray's-- it was decided to accept Mr. Bray's offer to serve lunch at the second dance. A suitable gift was to be given to Mr. Douglas Ash who had 80 ably served as Akela for the 1st Raglan Cubs. The Nov, Meeting will be in Raglan Church at 8 o'clock, when the combined groups will be honored to have Prov. Field Com. missioner W. J, Harpur as the guest speaker. All parents, leaders and Group Committee men are warmly in- vited 'to attend. The meeting closed with the Lord's Prayer. 1st Raglan Cubs had an interest. ing and exciting trip to Toronto re- cently, they went to Maple Leaf Gar- dens and attended a Hockey Practise and received autographs from the various players. All this was ar- ranged by Akella Mrs. D. McLeod, with her capable assistant Doug Bolduc. High Heels Can Kill "My foot slipped off the brake pedal," was the only defence offered ; by a young woman whose car killed a young bystander. On her way to a luncheon, she was appropriately dressed, right down to her smooth- soled, high-heeled shoes. Had she taken the 60-second-long precaution of changing to shoes with non-skid or ridged soles, 60 years of human life might have been spared. Canadian shoe manufacturers de- vote considerable thought to the de- sign of every shoe on the market, the Canadian Highway Safety Council points out.' The designer keeps in mind the exact function of the design he produces. Shoes for long stand- ing or walking must have three main features: sturdy construction, durable _and practical materials and they. must provide even distribution of body weight over the foot. hand, an "after 5" shoe with high heels is meant to create an effect of glamor and elégance. With a high- heel shoe, the body weight is pro- jected forward on the foot to create a lightness to the step. High heel shoes are worn for short periods of , time, on special occasions. Shoes suited for recreation, sports, garden- ing and other summer pursuits are' designed with safety factor in mind. Minimum heel heights avoid tripping' i on uneven terrain, non-skid or ridged | goles allow faster movement and quicker stops. Pliable materials give freer foot "The right shoe for the occasion" is a wise policy, claims the Rubber Association of Canada, and it becomes logical to assume that a suitable, flat or wedge shoe with non- skid or ridged sole should be worn for driving. Dress shoes on the seat beside the driver or in the glove compartment allow a quick change at destination. Those few seconds could mean a life- time for someone else.

Lloyd Stevenson, and One in Four Children Need Eye Care One out of every four pre-school children need eye care to prevent total or partial loss of sight, Canadian eye experts say. Too often parents wait for their baby to outgrow eye defects like crossed eyes--wait until the sight of one cye has been lost, according to a survey of children's eye problems in the November fssue of Liberty maga zine. If-the-condition-is-still-notice- able after the baby reaches three | months, his eyes should be examined by an oculist immediately, the article stressed. Most babies are born farsighted. Experts say 15% of first-graders are so farsighted they can't stand the ; strain of close work for very long, | They attribute this to the reason a great many youngsters are slow to read. A child usually outgrows this defect by the age of ten. In the | meantime he should wear corrective lenses. | An oculist will probably prescribe corrective glasses at the age of one year; phospholine iodide drops to overcome the eyes' tendency to con- verge; or a simple operation to change the position of faulty eye muscles. "In some cases, surgery may be the best and easiest remedy," Liberty writer, Cathy Perkins said. "surgery for crossed eyes has become the :| secorid most common operation at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. There is little or no pain. The child comes to the hospital the night be- fore the operation and leaves the day after, usually without bandages." "It's not difficult to get a baby to wear glasses if he needs them to see properly," Miss Perkins said. "One nearsighted little girl, fitted with cor- rective glasses, was astonished to discover "that movies had people in them." All children's eyes should be exa- mined by an oculist by the age of four, Miss Perkins said. She warns that other eye diseases may not be notice- able to parents, until they are bey- ond correction. As in congenital glaucoma, the eyes usually become clouded, before parents are aware something is wrong. By this time blindness cannot be prevented, unless by a cornea transplant from someone else's eye. To detect eye defects in children, parents and teachers are advised to watch for a child who shuts or covers one eye to read and write; blinks or rubs his eyes excessively; squints, frowns, tilts his head or thrusts it forward; hold his book too close; com- plains that his eyes burn or itch; complains that he sees double; suf- fers headaches, dizziness or nausea; or has pink-rimmed, runny or ens crusted eyes. Seagrave On Wednesday evening all roads led to Seagrave United Church. It was the annual Turkey Supper, which each year draws a larger crowd, ow- ing no doubt, to the bountiful meal provided by the ladies. While the Supper was announced for 4.30, enough patrons had arrived by 4.10 and the serving commenced. By six o'clock all the available park- ing space, near the church, was filled, and cars were crowding in at any angle, the occupants hurrying off in anticipation of that famous dinner, and in the hope of meeting old friends. Pictures were shown in the church by Miss Ann Samells of Orono, for J. the enjoyment of those who had to Many people expressed their appreciation of the beautiful scenes shown on the await their call to dinner. screen, Over six hundred were served, rea- lizing a nice balance which goes into The only re- turns to the ladies being the expres- sions of appreciation from the many These came from Toronto, Oshawa, Bowmanville, Beaverton, Ux- the church treasury. visitors, bridge, Little Britain, Port Perry Prince Albert and many other places.
