laff of the week c h noun pvbfew in tbonus asmitte edrtot handkerchief once badge of rank an item of convenience and sometimes decoration that is taken for granted by modern men and women was considered a badge of rank and class by europeans of the 14th 15th and 16th century the simple hand kerchief in those days was considered as indispensable to the lady of fashion as her jewels these extravagant mouchoirs decorated with deep borders of finest lace were carried strictly for show personal hygiene was not an important part of the lives of renaissance ladies and their methods of laundering were too drastic for even some of the sturdier fabrics not to mention laces the first handkerchief was probably the roman sudarium which was used to wipe the perspiration from roman faces and to hold in iront of the mouth to prevent the spread of infection these hygienic and thoughtful uses were discarded in the dark and dirty middle ages wfen the kerchief was used only as an extravagant accessory to rank and fashion at first white or as close to white as could be attained in those days was the standard color for handkerchiefs the practice of snufftaking enhanced the popularity of colored handkerchiefs since the snuff stains were camouflaged by the ciftprs today with approximata s6o synthetic dye- stuffs available and speedy and economical printing methods modern

sudden outbursts by nancy clearer the week between nominations and elections here last year it tion to residential development information but for the effect must make special effort business right now has two strikes against it the tense world situation and the hobbleswitch the government has imposed on investment and develop ment to add to these business in stouffville has another strike making three that being the condition of the town due to the sewer development despite our good stores the town has become an undesirable place to shop by virtue of the fact that offstreet parking has been negligible with- streets closed and others a sea of mud stouffville merchants must liken themselves to yonge st business people during the time the toronto subway was being constructed however there is a brighter side and business must rise above the obstacles which are only temporary and help the public in its dilemma of finding parking lots in town we know of at least five good offstreet parking lots in town three of them are open to the public without question and the other two would undoubtedly be with a word to the owners next week merchants hope to see the town jammed with christmas shoppers for the annual santa claus parade it is hoped that the businessmens association will act now to let the public know that their parking needs will be well taken care of in stouff ville next weekend the town is going through a trying period businesswise and every effort should be made to offset these parking drawbacks and to acquaint the public with the provisions being made for them jjifatslsles time is getting short this week friday evening nominations will be received in stouffville for reeve deputyreeve and council and other municipal offices to be filled by tjie voters on election day dec 3rd that means little time is left for prospective candidates to make up their minds whether they intend to offer their services to date there has been a woeful lack of interest in the municipal election considering it is only a few days off one would naturally expect that with mount ing municipal taxes year after year and with no reversal in the trend in sight the electors would be aroused more audibly if the taxpayers feel their affairs have not been administered as competently as they expect now is the time to do something about it the interests of stouffville can best be promoted if the most capable men and women can be induced to stand for civic office that is the first requisite if the voters are to do a good job in the forthcoming election it is to be hoped that more than the usual number with sound administrative ability will signify their intention of getting into the municipal contest probably never before in the history of the town has it been so imperative to have individuals with keen foresight sound judgment and good business ability to direct our affairs fortunately we have a number of citizens who measure up to these requirements it remains to persuade more of them to enter municipal life foce the facts some years ago a friend of mine underwent a medical examination and on his regjfii home said to his wife i dont want ypu to worry and i do not intend to do so myself i have cancer butwe will do our best and leave the rest with god he did that thing never even speaking of the shadow over his life but cheerfully carrying on for over four years when his time on earth was done and he was laid to rest he faced the facts and his widow told me that he was keenly interested in everyday living i did not know at the time that he had cancer and in the local church i have seen him discuss the merest details of affairs with skill and great tolerance students or history know that queen elizabeth the first would not allow those around her to speak of advancing years nor would she look into a mirror which revealed her wrinkles the proud arrogant queen refused to face the truth in the days of nehemiah he was apprehensive when he had to enter the kings presence with a sad countenance and when he did so was reprimanded by the king who demanded an explanation but there are facts of life that to ignore is sheer folly i do not mean that we should cease to take a lively interest in life but to take a superficial view of the facts is to live in a fools paradise like my friend we must accept the will of god knowing as socrates said to his judges no evil thing can befall a good man the great charles darwin repudiated the thought of anni hilation and said believing as i do that man will be a far more perfect creature than he is now i believe that in the future he will continue his spiritual progress and to this faith i heartily subscribe i have before me a list of wise and useful men many of whom died in early life but their faith like that of darwins gave them strength and they believed that life would be vastly better further on when sir walter scott knew that the end of his life was near he asked to be taken once again over the grounds at abbotsford i have seen many beautiful places he said but nothing to compare to my beautiful home then to his son-in- law lockhart ho asked that his favourite book be read which book asked lockhart sir walter said there is only one book now read to me the works of jesus in john 14th let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid in my fathers house are man5 mansions there is much to bewilder us in this life a great deal we cannot understand but we all know in our hearts that we can await our fathers loving care and mercy no doubt many of our fears will have been fruitless and unnecessary when charles kingsley was dying he said how beautiful god is sir walter scotts last words to young lockhart were be a good man be a religious man when you come to lie here as i do nothing else will give you comfort tria and other points the relief of the wounded and homeless in hungary itself in a telegram received from the canadian red cross repre sentative in vienna it is report ed that two thousand hungarian refugees are arriving in austria daily the total now being 21000 the hungarian government has now okayed regular red cross convoys into hungary and road transport is being supplemented with danube barges there is a very urgent need for funds to supply these convovs the canadian red cross so- nahonnatovctsion ciety has placed all its adminis- trative resources at the disposal of the canadian hungarian re lief fund for the purchasing transportation and distribution of relief to the people of hun gary tirough the international committee of the red cross which is the established neutral intermediary in times of con flict there will be no housetohouse canvassing all contributions of money only should be sent to the nearest branch of the cana dian red cross society or to the national red cross head quarters toronto ont all dona tions will be acknowledged by an official receipt valid for in come tax purposes
