A thoughtful observer once said, "Order is Power". Haw.a‘.ham. Anmmhdo.thon,bb leave old ways, the old , behind so that Nature can get busy filling the gap. Meanwhile we can live joyously â€" with our newfound Powerâ€"in He, of course, had a much harder task tham I beâ€" eatuse he received. so much more from Santal Where to put it all? .Toosmall pyjamas, tooâ€"short shorts, outgrown Tâ€"shirts, etc. and etc., were tossed into the Crippled Civilians bag to make room in his drawers for the new toys and junk. (Temporarily, I hope. Must get downtown and replenish those underwear drawâ€" ers!) & L You‘re sick to death with the lot of them but hate to give them up because, well, you‘re a thrifty soul. But is it thrifty to keep things you‘ll never wear?. Things that someone else might enjoy receiving? Someone who hasn‘t the wherewithall to have a whole drawer full of them? * I think that if there is amything that will eventually g-tusoutdthiaho\mltyulbo&nflny clothes closets. Why, oh, why do builders make them so small? . I‘ve managed to get orie of those eightâ€"drawered high chifâ€" foniers in one side of mine with short things like blouses on a high rod above that and the longer items on the other side pf the closet. Consequently, as anyâ€" one knows who has to live in small quarters, I should put things back exactly where I got them; otherwise chaos reigns in no time flat. (And it does,"most of the time, I‘m afraid. I rationalize by saying it‘s the fast pace we live at, tiudse days. "wm‘t time to be fuss~ ing with a toosmaill clothes closet," I say to myseli.) Funny how anything new to be added creates the urge to find an orderly spot to house it. A new pair of gloves and immediately the glove drawer gets a housecleaning! Someone gave me onerof those cute beâ€"jewelled lipstick holders in a lovely shade of pink, last summer, and finding enough lipsticks to fill it, and @a place to put it, reâ€"vamped my whole cosmetic departâ€" ment! The children (or the garbage) received many interesting bottles and jars which I hadn‘t noticed were empty, that day. « t â€" One of my most frequent interruptions yesterday came from my young son‘s room. He had caught the spirit of it all and was also "tidying" in there. He has the three lower shelves of a whole wall of gshelves this room was our little library before he came) and as he put one shelf in order I had to leave what I was doing and enthuse over his handiwork. â€" With a dogged persistance posâ€".. sibly worthy of a better cause I kept at it and, although the bedroom looks as if Hurricane Hazel had gone through, the eloset begins to look as though it belonged to someone I qguess it was Christmas that put the finishing touches on the chaotic mess it had become,. It was a good place to hide things. Anyone who looked in there ustially closed the door in a hurry without lingerâ€" ing. It was safer. One never knew if the boxes and things sitting precariously on the higher shelves would come aâ€"tumbling down and finish off the intruder! There‘s a lesson there I‘think. Somewhere I read that Nature abhors a vacuum., Take away something and Nature immediately replenishes â€" or attempts to. It works in our daily lives too. Take a little thing like a drawer full of gloves; mended, some of them, perâ€" haps, and wearable, but old enough to be thrown out. Young as he was, he had a much better system than I had and was really getting somewhere with his "tidying". He knew enough to throw things.out. Ussâ€" less things I mean. He was tossing out the old to make room for the new. Same thing with books. We keep books which are not the type we‘d ever read again, or save for our children to read, in order to have an impressive arrayâ€" or something like that â€" when libraries and hospitals are crying ofut for books! Get ridâ€"of those nice, light, onceread novels and make room for the new ones you‘ll buy to take their place. $ 4. Let‘s not make any resolutions this New Years! Let‘s instead, get rid of the clutter . . . the things we‘re hanging on to that we shouldn‘t . . . be they habits, clubs, clothes or other belongings . . . Do it at once. L_l'ht(mk if possible. Let‘s not go into 1962 with a â€"_ There seéms no end to this wonderful idea, carried out in all its phases. Old habits gotten rid of, auto matically must be replaced with new (usually better) ones! Are you caught up in a lot of clubs and activities which clutter up your calendar? Perhaps you‘d like to cut out some of them. You‘ve outgrown them, or otherwise they have lost their appeal. Give them up. Nature, being what it is; will f11 the vacuum with someâ€" thing more your style â€" even if it‘s just sitting with your feet up for a change! * â€" My goodness, the things we found! It was wonâ€" derful. ~ It‘s usually hard to get an.idea through to a child, such as giving up things, but when I explained that the toys and books which are too young for him could be used by some other wee tyke he immediately got a carton from the basement and started a "Laurie Box". : Laurie is his younger cousin who lives on a form. That way, of course, (wise old ow! that he is) he can get to play with them WITH Laurie! _ No Resolutions This Y ear! Periodically my little fellow. would comée across an old treasure he‘d forgotten he had. Oh, what a thrill to find it again! "Oh, Mummy, look what I found! I‘d forgotten I had it!" It was just like getting a new toy for Christmas. I was tinding things, too. Old letters from people long since gone, ancient diaries that took me back, a halffinished piece of tapestry, some love letters . . . and simply HUNDREDS of pencils! "So THAT‘S where all the pencils are! No wonder we could never find one in this house!" said wee nipper when he saw Thurs,, Jan. 4. 1962 The Westen Times Advertiser Nature Abhors A V acuum "Look W hat 1 Found!" An Orderly Spot Yesterday I clecmed out my clothes closet.

Last year more than 1,200 adults took part in the activities available. During the past fall the enrolment dropped to just over 500. The increase in proâ€" gram fee is blamed for this since the cost of facility rentals was added to leadership cost and all adult program is reâ€" quired to betotally selfâ€"supportâ€" ing. Recreation Program For North York Department officials expect a noticeable _ increase â€" however since all of the programs are of a very high calibre and the inâ€" terest shown by inquiries indiâ€" cate that many adults will be enrolling _ for the .10â€"week courses. Golf instruction, almost totally eliminated in the fall, is expected to attract a large numâ€" ber of participants who wish to learn or to practice their golf skills in preparation fer the spring and summer. * The winter series will be held in local junior â€" high schools throughout the township during weekday evenings from 8 to 10 o‘clock for 10 consecutive weeks. Available activities include badâ€" minton clubs at cost of $5 per personâ€"for the season, beginners, intermediate _ and _ advanced bridge classes, ladies keep fit gym classes, millinery and variety craft classes at a cost of $1 each per person for the seaâ€" son, and ballroom dancing, creaâ€" tive dancing, Latinâ€"American dancing and golf instruction at a cgst of $10 each for the seaâ€" son. â€" A. T. C. McNab, formerly executive assistant to the deputy zl‘nhm and chief of adminisâ€" tion, will now be assistant deputy minister, administration, and will be responsible to the deputy minister for the departâ€" ment‘s administrative branches; H. W. Adock, who has been manager of operations, will take over the duties of the chief enâ€" gincer with the new title chief In each case a minimum and maximum number for each class is established. Since the proâ€" gram has to be selfâ€"supporting: the department must cancel any classes without sufficient regisâ€" trations. It is very important that persons wishing to register must do so very soon in order to guarantee the epntinuation of the‘program.

Delicious! We are inclined to apologize for leftâ€"overs at thit time of year â€"after living so high over the holidays. Leftâ€"overs can be delicious, though. Leftâ€"over vegetables are more of a problem because they are apt‘ to lose color and ~flavor, and certainly food value, when heated a second time. Leftâ€"over cauliflower or cabbage covered with a can of cream soup or a cheese sauce garnished with slicedâ€" hardâ€"cooked eggs and topâ€" ped with bread crumbs, needs no apologies, however. Placed in a shallow vegetable dish, then covered with cheese sauce and* sprinkled with grated cheese, leftâ€"over broceoli is delicious.
