We know that the close- ly-knit unit of home life, which you have provided, has in great measure contributed to their suc- cess.

South African antelope | Progressive Conservatives Ottawa Meet April 19-21 By D'ARCY O'DONNELL Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, April 2 -- (CP) --Efforts 2 te strengthen party organization in preparation for the next gener- al federal election--whenever it comes--are expected to be made at the forthcoming annual meeting of the Progressive Conservative As- sociation of Canada. The . meeting will be held here April 10-21, inclusive. | In previous years the meeting lasted only two days, but it was decdied to extend the sessions a day this year to meet the requests of Association members. The association's policy and re- solutions committee will meet Ap- ril 16 and 17 to screen the resolu- tions now arriving from various branches of the organization. F. G. Gardiner, K.C.,, of Toronto is chairman of the commtitee. While the life of the present par- liament does not expire until Aug- ust, 1950, some Progressive Con- sérvative members are known to feel that the government may call an election toward the end of this yen or early next year convention will be' held in August to choose a succes- sor to Prime Minister Mackenzie King. Whoever is -selected may want to seek an early mandate from the people. Just what will be done to strengththen the tory organizatoin is not yet known. However, Mr. Bracken may follow Mr, King's lead and stress the need for an effici- ent party machine during an elec- tion campaign. Mr. King bluntly told his supporters Jan. 20 that if an election was held now the Lib- eral party would lose because of lack of organization. One of the final tasks of the as- sociation will be the election of of- ficers, J. M. Macdonnell, Progres- sive Conservative member of the Commons for Muskoka-Ontario, now is completing a two-year term as president. There -has been little speculation as. to Mr. Macdonnell's successor, Some party sources believe that Gordon Graydon, Progressive Con- servative Member of the Commons for the Ontario constituency of Peel, or Dick Bell, National Direc- tor of the Party, may be given the nod. Apsley Pioneer . Recalls Bloss Of Anstruther *". Peterborough, April 2 -- (CP) -- Duncan Brown, a pioneer resident of the nearby village of Apsley, re- called today that he had been told colorful stories about Captain Lynch Bloss, whose descendents-- it any--may inherit the title of baronet. 'Family records show the Cap- tain, second son of the 10th Bar- onet, died at a place known as An- struther, Canada West. , Canada West was the name by which the present Township of Burleigh and Anstruther, on the northern boun- dary of Peterborough County, was once known. ! Mr. Brown, who was a very young TABLE TURMOIL Bedlam and bread make a bitter brew. National Health officers point olit that such distractions at mealtimes as horseplay, bickering and nagging produce poor - appe- tite and are particularly unfortun- ate when children are at table. They develop poor eating habits and repugnance for a period which should be the most satisfying and profitable of the day. Tranquility must prevail at meals if we want our food to make, and keep, us fit, the doctors point out. who can relate your many kind- nesses and true neighbourly deeds. They soon learn that you were the kind of frien Edgar Guest meant when he said: "But the kind of friend I'm mean- ing Sure is with you when you're glad. But he's with you just 'bout. twice as much If you are blue and sad. He needn't do or say a thing And, yet, somehow you feel That you can ask him anything, Because, you see, he's real." Mrs. Smales, we are indebted to you in various ways. You have most graciously and willingly assisted in our Sunday School and Church ac- tivities and also in the Solina Women's Institute and Bradley's Home and School Club. Although a farmer's wife with little leisure time, you were always ready to ac- cept whatever responsibility we placed upon you, and carried out most efficiently all the tasks you were asked to perform. We have given Bob, Jim and Betty our "good wishes," as each in turn left our community, but to- night we should like to pay tribute to Fanny. It is several years since she was a helpful member of our C.GIT. We have not forgotten her splendid contribution to our Sunday School and church services, as well as her faithfulness to our Young People's Union and' choir. In testimony of our esteem we should like you to accept these gifts--as a sincere expression of our appreciation and affection. May they serve to remind you of your many friends and neighbours in the Eldad community. Signed on behalf of the com- mittee: Mrs. J. Baker, Mrs. G. Leask, Mrs. J. Yellowlees, Montgomery. ' The gifts nicluded a silver cream and sugar set with matching tray and silver 'butter dish for Mrs. Smales; a smoker for Mr. Smales, and a gold bracelet for Fanny, and were presented by Mrs. Clarence Vice, Mrs, Gordon Leask, Bruce Montgomery and Gladys Yellow- lees. Although deeply moved, each recipient expressed their heartfelt thanks and made everyone feel at home for the remainder of the eve- ning by opening the entire home for games. A suitable card contain- ing names of all present, was also presented along with the gifts. Short speeches were made by' sev- eral neighbors. A most enjoyable evening was brought to a close with a delicious lunch.
