rtfisssstts-i- i j5 -t- pihctpf irv i5ti r u i the tribune stouffvmeontthursyau31th vw i at the convention i we realize that the warvent- of the canadian weekly newspaper association held in winnipeg this month does not hold keen interest for the large majority of the tribune readers and on that account we shorten to the utmost our report on the social functions which we were called on to attend as representative of the stouffville tribune at winnipeg at later date we may t publish some of the speeches which are worthy of space in any newspaper in the meantime we give you a birdseye view of the social pro grams during that busy three days at the royal alexandra hotel which is nothing short of a cpr palace when we were not attend- ing luncheons of course the bus iness sessions of the association were on at noon hour on the opening day a complimentary luncheon was given by the government- of the province of manitoba in the main dining room and presided over by the attorney general the guest speaker was premier stuart s garsoi who spoke strongly against premier drews opposition platform to the baby bonus at 030 another banquet was sponsored by the winnipeg grain exchange when dr j s davis director of food research at- stan ford university california spoke for more than an hour- he was brought up from california by plane just to fill this engagement a number of newspaper men saw him aboard his outgoing plane again at this affair a radio review was broadcast from coast to coast the artists were all professional they put on a skit getting out the weekly paper which was cleverly done and most interesting to watch as well as to hear many people in stouffville have since told us that they heard the broad cast on the second day of the con vention we started out by attend- avivtb questions continued from previous page a yes this increase isallowed and you were not overcharged this is not the same apple iuice as was available a couple bf years ago the- apple

i wear pyjamas since she doesnt like me wandering around in a night shirt- says i look a fright and all the rest of it well so far as comfort goes my night shirt is just the thing and i never was one for giving up com fort for style somebody said that next ranking to the problem of where will the hired man wash his feet is the question of the nightshirt vs pyjamas recently a conference of pyjama manufacturers was held and they took up aday discussing the question of how they might interest farm people in wearing pyjamas drawing up a post war slogan they adopted the battlecry of pyjamas for the farmer i hope mr editor that they decided to take space in the tribune to carry their battle to the homes of the farmers althoughti am- not in favor of pyjamas for farmers mind you definitely i am with those who standon the nightshirt side of the fence we must mobolize our force and be prepared to combat those people who would take away our last vestiage of comfort no doubt those manufacturers are con cerned about what they believe to be an advantage to the wearervbut again they may be thinking of their own pocket books and not about my comfort or discomfort theres nothing wrong about the night shirt it gives more freedom of action and if those hollywood stars wouldnt constantly portray some old codger with a candle in hand and wearing a nightshirt the shirt would nflt go into the
