It means that Britain and her © whelps Pay no attention to the yelps Of those who love to breed discord. They simply dump them overboard. When Britain with her love for right, Is asked in freedom's cause to fight She knows, thank God, and knows it well, That Empire's purest blood will tell. She feels that all her sons in pride Will stand close by the Mother's side; That centuries of love and trust, Forged Empire links that will not rust. "Tis etched in blood on Empire scroll That all the parts make perfect whole, Ee Together they will stand or fall. Yes, that's what Empire means; that's all.

'Hoctess Houses' make a special appeal to the mind and the heart," says an editorial in the Toronto Daily Star. "A 'Hostess House' is a centre where the soldiers and their wom- en-folk can visit together in a com- fortable, homey, friendly atmos- phere, and where there are people in attendance ready to supply what aid ie needed. The national Y.W.C. A. with its branches all over the country is particularly equipped and experienced for such work. "A service of this type was pro- vided by the Y.W.C.A. during the last war and it was promptly or- ganized again when -t he present one commenced, It is greatly appre- clated hy the troops and their families and friends, and also by the army authorities. So much so that the Department of Auxiliary Services to the Canadian Forces has assigned to the Y.W.C.A, the task of establishing Hostess Houses at all the large army and alr training camps. To date there are over a dozen such centres in operation, dotting the Dominion from Vane v being conducted to ald Canada's | A home awa; Whitby, England, The group arrived in bers of the group are shown Upper left are Eileen and the college at the same time.

Mary Berkley, Liverpool, Le '- St. Hilda's Girl Students oe} Thrilled With New Home "It all seems like a dream," ex- claimed th# girls from St. Hilda's | School, Whitby, England, as they wandered through the gardens and | under rose-covered arbours at. the | Ontario Ladies' College, Whitby, | Ontario. After their arrival yester- | day the children, who range in years from 9 to 14, soon made themselves at home. The group of 17 and three staff members will be guests at the college for a month. Two members | of the party who do not attend the school came from Ceylon. Greeted by Dr. C. 8. Carscallen, principal of the college, the chil- dren were met by five members of St. Hilda's staff. Accompanying the children were three staff mem- | bers, Misses Greta Crabtree, Bea- trice Willlams and Joan Roberts. Miss A. A. Maxwell, of the college staff, welcomed the party. Where the party will go from here is still a matter of conjecture, but it is un- derstood arrangements are being made to open St. Hilda's as a school somewhere in Canada in the fall. "Everything was such a hustle and bustle," Miss Greta Crabtree of the staff said. "We can hardly realize that we are here." "It's simply grand to be here," the kiddies declared when asked how they liked their new quarters. "It's all been such fun. It's a lovely country, and everyone we have met so far has been grand." Margaret Shaw, youngest member of the party, asked about the birds of Canada when she found a bird bath in the garden. "I do hope they have some hens here," she confided to the reporter. "You know when I was home I used to feed the hens, and I shall miss them." Others of the party were more interested in exploring, and several of them wanted to know where they could go swimming. None of them had much to say about home, but were more anxious to talk about the present and the fufure. "I don't know how long we'll be here, but I don't care, it's all been such fun," one declared. "Do you really have such an awful lot of snow in the winter?" Travelling with the St. Hilda's party were Eileen and Charles Phillips, accompanied by Miss G Hyndman. Eileen attended Winceby House, at Bexhill,- while Charles attended Canford Public School at Windbourne. "We were in Ceylon, and went back to England about six years ago to go to school," Charles re- lated. "The schools were evacuated, and now we are here. I don't know for how long." Embarking 12 days ago, the party spent three days on their ship be- fore they sailed. Once under way, they made the trip to Montreal in eight days. It was described by the staff members as "uneventful" and by the children as "Just too wonder- ful." A large group of St. Hilda's puplls came to Canada a month ago. couver to Halifax ana more are be- ing constantly opened. "In each locality it is the local branch of the Y.W.C.A. which takes the fnitiative and responsibility of organizing and conducting the Hostess service, and for this it se- cures the co-operation of many vol- unteers and sundry local organiza- tions. The type of service rendered varies with the district. In some places there are needed only facili- ties for daytime visiting, and in other places the Y.W. provides overnight accommodation in its own residences or through a rooms registry bureau. The latter service is particularly appreciated by wom- en who come from a distance to visit their men-folk in the camps, and can thus easily find accommo- dation that has heen approved as to cleanliness, cnaracter and price, "Altogether the Y.W.s Hostess service is ministering every week to thousands of the Canadian troops and their families and friends. At Camp Borden, for example, the hostess centre which is contained in two charming summer cottages, equipped with marquees and a tuckshop, recently accommodated about 7,000 persons in one week; on Sundays it serves about 3,000 visitors. On the other hand, for the camp at Brandon, Manitoba, to which visitors haye to come from a distance, the Y.W.'s housing ser- vice has helped hundreds of wom- en to secure suitable overnight ac- commodation. "It. is not surprising, therefore, that there is a growing demand for this Hostess service all over the country, It will not be able to ex- pand as it should until the neces- sary funds are secured. Next sea- son the national council of the Y.W.CAA. will require to make & national appeal, which will be the first time it has done so since the last war. The public has cause tO look with favor upon such an ap=- peal and to support it heartily." . TODAY'S MENU By BETSY NEWMAN Is there anything better than home roasted meat sliced and served cold?
