At theâ€"city hall the other day, he> says 8 lady accosted a aozen other ladies in quick sucâ€" cession. They formed a circle around her, neld their ranks for a minute or two, and then calmly and quietly dissolved into the busy movement of the city square. The lady, around whom the circle had been formed, went coolly on her way. Was it a new method of gossip? Or a. special plan for Women in this war have upset all the old fanâ€" tastic libels on the female sex. Women have been' slandered as the sex that talks too much. Most of the talk in this war has come from theâ€"menâ€"â€" and there‘s been heaps of it. There is the old wheezy proverb that women could not keep a seâ€" cret. There were women who knew the secret of V Day and kept it..

He had to learn the secret of that brief circle movement. One of the ladies was kind enough and, frank enough to relieve the cur-1 ijosity of that inquisitive male. She explained that it was just a case of wart.ime elastic giving way and the necessity of doffing a private garment on a public square. The moral is that the moda ern women is equal to any emergency, that she has resourcefuulness, courage, adaptability, and the gift of securing coâ€"operation for the general good. A world fit for heroines to live in would be all right for heroes too, and it wouldn‘t be too bad for the vast majority who haven‘t any idea whether 'mey are heroes or heroines or just run ot the mill humanity. _ _ s Tammins, Ontario, Thureday, Nov. 2, 1944 «WOMEN AND THE WAR Nee l s s e e e l e o t ste Bflll mnds the motto ot the King T ‘ argument| : "Pub fiwo yonr ‘"task Whatever it may be, all the mdalnflthete courage" purpose ofâ€" which youâ€" areâ€" capable, ]um. pleasant, profitable and proper.

There is always the danger of overâ€"production here and a revival of the supply elsewhere. With high prices more wheat is sown and consumption falls off.

A fourâ€"yearâ€"old son of â€"Mr. and Mrs. Plante, formerly of Uno Park, near New Liskeard, but now living on â€" a bush farm of Neéedglic on the Quebec side,â€" was actually lost in the woods for three days and three nights, but when found did not seem to be serâ€" iously injured by this dangerous exâ€" perience. Mr. Plante had been workâ€" ing a little distance.from the â€" home clearing the land and the fourâ€"yearâ€" old boy had accompanied his father. The father had cautioned the childâ€" not: to stray away and the youngster agreed to keep close to the wagon. After a. while the father missed the little lad but took it for granted that:‘ the child had gone to his home which ‘was not far away. When Mr. Plante arrived home, however, he found the ‘little lad had not been seen at home. Alarm was felt at once, and a search party ~was organized. The ‘searchers were soon joined by friends and re« latives from Uno Park. The whole "bush was carefully combed to find traces of the lad. The search was continued for three days and nights. with increasing alarm for the fate of the boy. After three days and nights the small boy was discovered in the bush about a mile and a half away from the Plante home. The child was asleep when found, and seemed â€"to have suffered little from the exposure.
