The young- er members of the village, dressed in horrible disguises, roamed the streets and knocked on doors inviting everyone to "Shell out" in the good old-fashioned way. The clear moon- light and mild weather added greatly to the pleasure of the children. Many changes have taken place in our community in the last two or three years.

The regular monthly meeting of the Women's Association was held at the home of Mrs. Wardel White, Tuesday afternoon, October 31st, With Mrs. White presiding, the meeting opened- with Call to Worship, followed by Bible Reading Matt, 13-- 30-43 given by Mrs, Chapman. The theme for the meeting being The Blessing of Harvest, and the topic "Thanksgiving" was given by Miss Norma Urquhart of Uxbridge, and verys much appreciated by all those present, i Mrs. H, McMillan took the chair for the business part of the ieeting; fol- lowing this Miss Norine Till gave a reading and Bible contest. A very dainty lunch was served by the group in charge--Mrs. W. White, Mrs. C. Lorimer, Mrs, Chapman, Mrs, E. Till' and Miss Norine Till and a social time was' enjoyed by all. THE BEST TO THE BOYS (Continued from front' page) a signed to the last woman, nor many other citizens 'of this patriotic and public-spirited little town, well repre- sented as it is in all branches of the fighting forces. But just then came | surprising news, : It so happened that the Minister of Pensions and Veterans' Affairs, Hon. Ian MacKenzie, paid a visit to Tor- onto, and ~the Women's Emergency Committee seized the opportunity to ask him to receive a deputation. The request was refused, however. The Minister, doubtless, had a full pro- gramme, but it seemed strange that he could not spare time to consider a matter of real importance to our fight- ing men. So thought the women, and, not to be rebuffed, they picketed his hotel, and there was no escape for him, though he showed some agility in the gentle art of "passing the buck", say- ing that the question belonged to other departments than his, Whereupon the women did the logical thing by appeal- ing to the Prime Minister himself, seriding him a telegram of some length and 'at the same time giving it to the Press. It was a sfrategical move and won prompt response from that Master of Strategy, the Rt. Hon, Mackenzie King, It is possible that our bachelor Premier is not so well versed in feminine psychology as if he had entered the Holy (more or less) Estate of Matrimony yearg ago, but he may have reflected that Kipling's startling line, -- "The female of the species is more deadly than the male" ~~ might be true at any rate of said "female" When thoroughly rovsed, and he may have decided that "Un- conditional Surrender" is sometimes the part of wisdom if not of necessity. His reply telegram, also lengthy and also given to the Press, promised prompt action and first priority in the matter of the Sunnybrook Hospital. So the victory seems to have been won. "A Triumph for Democracy" a Globe and Mail Editorial callsyit, add- ing the tribute: "There would have been no action but for the women's committee... There would-have been no promise of closing the old firetrap that is Christie but for the Women's Em- _ergency Committee", But, as Go- vernments have been known to forget their promises (though that seems unlikely inthis case) or to be tardy in fulfilling them, the Women's Emer- gency Committee is likely to "stay put", following a policy of watchful waiting, It would not be surprising, either, if a contingent of this militant organization were to mount daily guard in Sunnybrook Park to see that the stones of the new hospital were well and truly laid and with all pos- gible despatch, $7 It is just possible, also, that further petitions and signatures thereto may be called for, in which case I feel confident that all Port Perry will sign on the dotted ling. For I also feel 'confident that my .one lone objector will want to make it unanimous and to agree with the rest of us that, as a question of generosity but of simple justice and common decency, Canada #is ready, in the matter of hospitaliza- tion and in all other matters, to give the Best to the Boys.
