Dart, all of Oshawa. --Photo by Campbell's Studio Mys. Joseph Davies Outstanding Oshawa One of Oshawa's outstanding C.N.E. winner's in knitting and home canning is Mrs. Joseph Davies, Elgin Street, East. Mrs. Davies has been entering knitted items and her home preserves in the C.N.E. for the past 24 years and each year has come away with several first, second and third prizes. This year Mrs. Davies received second prizes for bed socks, a lay- ette, consisting of coat, ponnet, pair of mittens, and pair of boottees, and for a hot water bottle cover. For her knitted matched set of bonnet, mitts and coat, 'she came third. This year, however, she was not so fortunate with her home preserves, having entered strawberry jam, canned strawberries, canned peach- es, and canned cherries. Of the four entries only her peaches won a prize, coming first in their class. In speaking with Mrs. Davies who is a motherly, homey woman, and who is much interested in her home and in anything pertaining to homemaking, we discovered that she uses the open kettle method for canning peaches. For her strawber- ry jam she told us, she puts an equal amount of sugar as berries, which she does not cut but keeps whole. This she lets stand over- night to soak and to render the juice from the berries. In the morn- ing she pours off the juice and boils it separately for a few min- utes, adding the whole berries later. Sometimes she uses pectin, some- times not, but always has excellent jam, either way. Winner at C.N.E. MRS. JOSEPH DAVIES --Photo by' Campbell's Studio * dd We suggested that the cleaning up process of canning, baking or cooking was a very distasteful task, but Mrs. Davies disagreed, saying that even that part of homemaking was to her liking. Mrs. Davies is truly keenly interested in her C.N.E. exhibits and this in a great part keeps alive her keen interest in her home. Presentation Made To Miss Jean Magill Miss Jean Magill, a bride.elect of next Saturday, was honored last evening by the members of the choir of Simcoe Street Unitea Church. A potluck supper, which each year begins the choir's acti- vities for the coming year, was en- joyed, after which, Mr. Reginald Geen, choir leader and organist, introduced the Rev. J. K. Moffatt, B.A, newly inducted minister of the church. Mr. Moffatt in turn introduced his wife, and his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. H, F. Pen- ney of Wheeling, West Virginia, who are visiting for a few days. Mr. Moffatt also expressed his thanks to the choir for their invi- tation to him and Mrs. Moffatt and their guests to attend the sup- per. He said that a choir was the thermometer which registered the warmth of a church congregation and also the thermostat which re- gulated that warmth. He felt that there was much of that warmth in Simcoe choir, and said that, while he 'could contribute nothing musi- cally to the choir, he and his fam- ily would be ready and willing to assist in any way with any project undertaken by the choir. He also issued a standing invitation to all to visit him and Mrs. Moffatt in their home at any time. Mr. Geen then spoke briefly of the fine solo work done by Miss Magill, who has been a member of Simcoe Choir for several years, He thanked her for her generosity in singing whenever he asked her, whether in church or in recital and expressed the hope for himself and the choir, that she would continue to do so and to be a member of the choir long after she was mar. ried. Miss Magill is well-known in Oshawa for her lovely soprano veice, and has been guest soloist at many Oshawa events including the summer bandshell concerts. Miss Magill was then presented with a hammered aluminum tray by Miss Margaret Mounce on be- half of the choir members. She thanked everyone present and said that Simcoe Choir was "home" to her and that she wouldn't be happy in any other choir.

Conant, Provin- cial Commissioner, for the past two days. Miss Lavoine was one of the French delegates at the Interna- | tional Conference of Girl Guides | held in Cooperstown, N. Y. and has since visited Quebec, Ottawa, Mont- real, Toronto and Oshawa, besides Washington and other cities in the United States. Twenty-three nations were rep- resented at the conference. Mark- ed by their absence were Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia and new-comers such as Cuba and Peru were warmly welcomed. Miss Lavoine, a neat figure in her brown uniform, is taking 'back to France renewed enthusiasm and fresh ideas which she hopes will stimulate the spirit of Guiding among French girls. | "Children in my country are suf- fering as a result of the unsettied conditions there," she said in per- fect English. (No wonder, Made. moiselle is a professor of Languages and is being entertained tomorrow by the president of the University Women's Club of Toronto.) "Girls are not a 'bit excited about having a uniform. They have seen nothing but uniforms for years and they are tired of them," she explained. "Also they crave excitement, an excite- ment more red-blooded than Guid- ing. "For years they have been out- witting the German on their door- step or dabbling in Black Market, and parents have slackened their discipline, perhaps because they re- alize the sad childhood their child- ren have had," she said, adding that juvenile delinquency was a national problem. Miss Lavoine related an amusing incident connected with the world conference. Specially chosen Girl Scouts of America were detailed to meet the delegates from Great Britain. While waiting on the dock the officer in charge gave them an appraising jook, complimenting them on their spic-and-span appearance at them same time forbidding them to chew gum. Meanwhile, the Eng- glish girls waiting to disembark were deciding what they might do to ap- pear as informal as they had heard the American girls were. So they all Sepped ashore chewing gum heav- ily. Miss Lavoine said Canada was just about what she thought it would be, only there was much more of it. "So many trees, so much milk," she sighed. Trees are battle- scarred and milk is tragically scarce in France. She was intrigued by Fall Bride-Elect MISS DORIS R.

O'Donnell. --Photo by Hornsby Studio Quebec. "French but not of France," was her summing up, and as an after-thought, '"taeir lan- guage is horrible." (lhe Quebec pa- tois, is rough to Parisian ears.) Her listeners were amused by Miss Lavoine's description of a cy- cling tour she tock in Cornwall prior prior to sailing for America. "In Cornwall," she said, "you never cycle. You fly down the hills, just sitting there and hanging on to your brakes, then you get off and push the bicycle and all your accoutrements up the other side. Pushing the pedals,--never! "Another thing, it rained all the time, so I didn't see the scenery, even where I pitched the tent." Miss Lavoine sails from New York on Monday on her way to France. She is stopping off at Southamp- ton, however, to pick up a bicycle!
