PAGE FOUR -.. THE DAILY T IMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY; MAY 3, 1947 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson; Wm. T. Wiliams, Editor. Phone 708, All Departments Famous Canadian Poetess To Speak In Whitby Monday Edna Jacques, one of the better- kriown Canadian composers of out- standing verse, will make an ap- pearance in Whitby on Monday { when she will be the guest speaker at the regular monthly meeting of the United Church Women's Asso ciation. Mrs. E. Killens, president of the local W.A. of the United Church, stated that she feels high- . ly honoured to have such an out- standing Canadian writer as guest speaker to her group and she as sures all members that the meeting will be well worth attending. The meeting will start at 3 pm, When asked. to ide some of the background of this Canadian artist, Mrs. Killens supplied the fol- lowing information: "This noted Canadian writer of poems was born and educated at Oollingwood. She married and moved to Saskatchewan where she and her husband homesteaded. She knew well what hard work and lean years meant. Her love for nature and out-of-doors and homey little things she saw from her kitchen window inspired her to write. She wrote' "of such simple things as clothes lines, back porches, rocking chairs and a little house on & shabby street. At first, although she was almost discouraged by the refusal of the press to print her poems, Nellie Mc- Clung saw great possibilities in her, and, encouraged and financed by this well-known writer, Edna Jaques climbed the ladder to success, when she had her masterpiece, "Thanks- giving," published on the front page of Goodhousekeeping Magazine, Inspired by this achievement, she often wakened in the night and wrote a poem. Several books of her poems have been published, "My Kitchen Window," "Drifting Soil," and "Wide Horizons" are three of them that can be found in thou- sands of Canadian homes. No Ca- nadian poet has more realistically or beautifully dealt with scenes from everyday life. She travelled for some years, from coast to coast, lecturing in most Canadian cities for the Cana- dian Club. Greeted by large audiences wher- ever she goes, this small poised little woman gives her audience a good time. She tells about her poetry, anecdotes about her moune tains, little discomforts and pleas- ures, disappointments and triumphs, scenes and situations which leave her audience almost helpless with laughter, and by her homely verse she brings tears to the eyes of her " audience at the tenderness and un derstanding of her poetry. Strikingly possessed of a sense of beauty, which she succeeds in transmitting to her listeners, she brings new and radiant loveliness to each and everyone of the many common incidents of life. Of her it might be truly said that hers is a simple dignity of true greatness.

Although the band has been in operation for only a few short months, the bandmaster stated that he felt fairly safe in saying that the boys would give a first hand account of themselves. The concert, the first public ap- pearance the entire band has taken part in, is scheduled for Friday, May 16 and indications are that the concert will be well attended. In preparation for the concert a special church parade has been arranged for the band members and will take place on Mother's Day, May 11. The sparkling new uniforms for the band have not arrived as yet but officials have assured the bandsmen that they will arrive in plenty of time for the church par ade. In the matter of a few short months Bandmaster Ragnar Steen, since retired, and his successor Cam Marchant have worked hard to prove that it is possible to teach the youngsters the rudiments of good music. They have shown a marked degree of patience with their foung charges but Bande master Marchant stated today that they have been well rewarded be- cause of the fine showing the youngsters have been making in re- cent practices. Tickets for the concert will go on sale shortly and it is hoped that the Town Hall auditorium will be packed to capacity on the night in question.

Climate A well known Whitby business man, Francis McIntyre, recently re- turned from an extensive visit with his daughter, Mrs. Arthur Shelly, who resides in Nanaimo, British Columbia, said today that although he was much impressed with the Canadian West he still prefers to live in the east. Mr. Molntyre left on the extended trip which took him through many of the United States and through all of the west- ern Oanadian Provinces early in March and he arrived back in Whitby earlier this week. Mr. McIntyre said that one of the things which impressed him most while on his trip was the progress being made in the lumbering ine dustry in western Canada. He stated that his son-in-law, who is an official in .& large lumber com pany on the west coast, took him on an extensive tour of logging camps, saw mills and various other main line points connected with the lumbering business and what he saw impressed him a great deal. aking of the educational sys tem in effect in western Canada, Mr. McIntyre, who is the chairman of the local Board of Education, stated that he did not think the system varied much from that in use in Ontario but he did think that Ontario schools, both public and high schools, were kept in much better shape than their west ern counterpart. He said that one of the biggest thrills he received on the whole trip was when he pulled a huge 14 pound salmon from the swift flow- ing Campbell River in British Col- umbia. He stated that he did not realize what he had been missing until he felt the tug of the huge fish on the end of his line. Mr. McIntyre said that the cost of living compared favourably with that in Ontario but he added that there was an extreme shortage of butter in British Columbia and that it was seldom that a housewife could get more than a half pound of butter at any one time. "One of the features of the Cana- dian west coast is the climate" said Mr, McIntyre. He added that when he left Vancouver the city was a mass of brightly coloured flowers interspersed with beautiful green lawns and shrubbery. He said that if there is any one thing that the west coast has to offer over and above that which Ontario can offer, it is a magnificent climate during the early spring and late fall, STAND PRESSURE Sponge divers of the Dodecanese Islands without diving sults can withstand p! at depths of more than 200 feet.

BAND NZ SAND Wes NOTES by BILL BRADLEY The Whitby Kinsmen Boys' Band held the first of a series of practice marches prior to the band practice on Thursday night and although it was accomplished with a certain amount of precision many of the members found that march in par- ade order while playing their in- 0 01 ie 2100 Hime wus ho easy task. However, one good about the march was the fact that it drew a considerable number of spectators to the "practice which served to encourage the boys a great deal. During the actual practice session all the pleces which will be played during the coming band concert this month were played and at the end the Members felt that the band was almost ready to present their first public concert. Although the new, colourful band uniforms have not arrived as yet the band is assured that they will be on hand ready for the church parade which is scheduled for Sun- day May 11. Bandsmen are requested to have their instruments properly shined at the next practice and are urged to glance over their music as time is growing short for practices be- fore the concerts. Guide News BROWNIES The last meetmg of the Brownie troop in Whitby was something of a change with most of the night's program being held outdoors. The opening exercises took the form of dancing on the lawn outside the church and was much enjoyed by all attending. - The new tenderfoot and second class groups held their classes out- side while the first class group met in the basement, The meeting finished with a cheery note when several new games were introduced and played. A special class for those studying semaphore was held on Friday eve- ning last.

Practically the entire nucleus of last year's entry including Hatch, Miles, Adams, Haire and BSendin will turn out again with the junior entry, however, and officials believe that with this group to form the backbone of the club they certainly should be able to contest the league title. All prospective junior players are urged to contact the coach of the junior team and turn out for the regular Tuesday evening practices which are now being held in the Town Park.

At Baptist Church Stand Rockwood | In addition to the singing of the well known artist Marion Crowley Newby the Baptist Church evening service will feature a special ser- mon by the minister, Rev. F. Dar« nell dealing with the question "Is The Rev. Perry Rockwood Right in His Accusations of the Modern Christian Church?" Mr. Damell said today "Con- cerning Mr. Rockwood's controversy with the leaders of his own de- nomination, I have nothing to say but accusations again't the Christe ian church as a whole must be the concern of every Christian minister. "It is beside the point to say that Mr. Rockwood is a religious fanatic seeking popularity. There are too many people in our land who feel that his charges against the Church are based upon fact for us to dismiss the matter so easily. It is =o light charge for the Church in any century to face, that it is spiritally ineffective and reduced to the state of a social club. "We may say that such a state- ment is easy to make and more difficult to prove and yc: we must perforce, admit that six people at a church prayer meeting and one hundred at a church supper and is concert are mo proof in contradics tion of Mr. Rockwood's contentions: As Christian members of the 7 Church in this community we have 2 a serious need to re-examine our position and take stock of our in- fluence for Christ and the Kingdon } of God in this community." Mr. Darnell stated that a system- atic approach will characterize his' sermon on this subject at the Sun- day evening service, Te ea el BARGAIY House for Sale in Whitby Modern, four-roomed, stucco. { : Conveniences, large garden, gars age, sun room.
