There's a place in nearly every British home for the miscellaneous delights you can buy in a Canadian drug store, hot water bottles, combs, curlers, toilet articles and cosme- tics of various kinds, lighters and such will probably hit the spot. Drop into a sports shop, too, if you know your man. Lack of golf balls kept many enthusiasts at home thig summer. With all clothing rationed except hats, this field is wide open. The be. lief that coupons, must be surren- dered for new garments entering the country appears to be a fallacy, Absolutely everything, including ma- terials by the yard, now reaches its destination although duty is payable on many items and often the equi- valent of the English purchase tax must also be paid to the customs. Stockings Are Treasure Knitting wool, handkerchiefs, scarfs, blouses, gloves, ties, socks, are on clothing ts, as well as the larger and most expensive types of garments, There's a fat duty on most stockings, but the lucky re. cipient won't mind paying it since she's probably in great need, Most people have never seen nylons and the black market price is $10 a pair, Handbags, like hats, are unration- ed but expensive. They're likely to be made of poor leather and have a tendency to look shabby in a very short time. A new bag would cer- tainly ring the bell. Don't forget, too, that tea towels and 'many other small household articles made of cloth must be: bought with housewives' personal clothing points, Sheets and blankets can be purchased only with priority dockets issued according to indivi- dual need, Most have reached the stage where they are afraid to wash or clean curtains and drapes for fear they will fall apart.

Mrs. George Wilson, guest speak- er at the November meeting of the Women's Christian Temperance Union held in King Street United Church last Tuesday, chose as her topic "Our Indifference." "The liquor traffic," she began, "is one of the greatest problems to- day due to its far-reaching effects on all departments of our church work, The evils wrought through li. quor continue to be one of'the dark- est blots upon our modern civiliza- tion, and the Church must admit it has fallen ghort of its hopes and ex- pectations in campaigning against these evils, The fact has been re- vealed that the government wants the gain from the liquor traffic re- gardless of the moral and social loss involved." "But", she continued, "we Church people are also responsible for the government in power. This is our reproach that we have been indif- ferent; indifferent, not only to the liquor traffic, but all phases of church work. We blame this on war. time conditions, We find the war is both the evidence and result of a lack of religious faith and a moral " "It has meant the breaking down of moral standards both in indivi- duals and in society," she said. "The Church calls upon us to re-dedicate ourselves in loyalty to God and we must begin at once to share in this work by giving a portion of our time and talent to God's work, We all have some talent or at least hands that must be willing to do what is asked of us. Therefore, we out what has been left undone, "We must drop this indifference of which we are accused,' and be responsive and attentive to Chris- tianity, church work, the liquor ny problem and ccmmunity wel- are." Mrs. H, G. Willes presided and the devotional period was conducted by Mrs, A. P. Simester, Mrs, Frank Godden sang, accompanied by Mrs. H, A. Lemon at the piano. Mrs, E. A, Henley drew attention to the fact that those interested in the liquor traffic were using the in. difference on the part of so-called Christian people to promote their work and further their interests, and pointed out that but one path-. way was clear, a united effort on the part of all right-minded citizens toward the putting down of this evil. She spoke of the youth groups in Toronto gathering together in protest against the soon to be in- troduced cocktail lounges, and ask- ed if their call could be ignored, and fe call of all youth for help at this e.

Sir Richard Livingstone, President of Corpus Christi College and Vice- Chancellor of Oxford University, in an essay taken from his lectures in Toronto a year ago, tells in The Atlantic what he thinks about "Bducation for the Modern World." The problems of today, he sug- gests, have to do with social rela- tions and the field of science. The two kinds of education popularly advocated, therefore, are based on the social sciences and the natural sciences. Social Curriculum Limited An education based on social scl- ences would omit religion, lan- guages, art, music and even science, literature and history except as they are related to social sciences. If all were included, the curriculum would be overcrowded . and knowledge gained would of necessity be super- ficial, 8ir Richard argues, "Smat- terings make life interesting and have their uses but their use is limited and they are more danger- ous," he says, "because they incline us to think that we know when we do not know." A social studies curriculum has this major weakness, he believes: "It spreads itself over many prob- lems but does not thoroughly study any one." , Scientific Course Limited While by no means belittling science, which he calls "one of the great achievements of man and one of his noblest activities", Sir Rich- scientific course of study. Science cannot explain the cause of' wars nor suggest how to prevent them. Science has little to do with the world of art, and literature, the world of the spirit. He tells of So- crates who feared his absorption in scientific study would make him as that Greek put it, "lose the eye of my soul." "Bach age," says Sir Richard, "must learn to wear its peculiar dress and be familiar with its own techniques, but must not be so fas- cinated with these gs to ignore more permanent things, Show your pupil Vanity Fair, since he must live in it; but let him be at least as fami- liar with the Delectable Mountains." Greatest Need Today Those who wish to base education ard speaks of the limitations of a| on social or physical sciences ignore, the greatest need of today which Is, to "show man the spiritual ideals without which neither happiness nor success is genuine or perman- ent and to produce beings who will know not merely how to split atcms but to use their powers for good." A classical education, given in the old days when it was forced upon everyone and when science was ignored, contained more vitamins than either of the other two kinds discussed, Sir Richard maintains. He refuses to allow a classical education to be called "narrow" ex. cept for the exclusion of science. Education, he points out, is a life- long process and so the school cur- riculum cannot be expected to in- clude everything needed along life's way. Fundamental Principles Education should be governed by two principles, he asserts. These are: Firstly, certain subjects (they cannot be more and should hardly be fewer than two) must be studied so thoroughly that the pupil gets some idea what knowledge is; se- condly, these subjects should bring the pupil face to face with some- thing great. Nothing--not all the knowledge in the world--educates like the vision of greatness, and nothing can take its place. The old classical education, 8ir Richard believes, exemplified these two principles 'Such an education is valuable today because Greek and Latin with Christianity are the mak- ers of the twentieth century and, he adds with a smile, "A knowledge of the parents is a considerable help to knowing the child." Gives Large View With a classical education, he says, one can see modern civiliza- tion "in the setting of all time and 2s in the Last Judgment it will be viewed." Recognizing that only a small minority will ever study Greek, Sir Richard advises all interested in the problem of living to read an-Eng- lish translation of Plato's Apology, Crito, Phaedo and Republic. To know what it desires to be is the problem about which the mod- ern world is most uncertain and to which 'it pays least attention," he asserts. It is in religion, poetry and history that man is revealed at his greatest and best With these at the centre of education, he declares, other subjects (he calls them pc- cessories) may be added-- science, economics, politics, languages, This, he concludes is the modern educa- tion the modern world needs. Many Calls Reported By King St. W.M.S. At the meeting of the Afternoon Auxiliary of the Women's Mission- ary Society of King Street United Church last Thursday, Mrs. Walter Armour reported 152 calls had been made in homes and 16 in hospital during the past month.

On the other hand, nothing about the ny- lon horizon surprises her for she knows, from her own shopping ex- perience, that the range is broaden- ing by leaps and bounds and yes- terday's promises are today's reali- es. Already on the market are nylon sheers, delicate in appearance yet extremely durable; sports wear that is easily cleaned; tailored blouses, rain coats, linings, gloves and lin- gerie. All this in addition to the nylon ful] fashioned hosiery which has so endeared itself to women, and the non-run and seamless ny- lon hosiery which are appearing in limited quantities. It is only a short time ago that finer filament nylon yarn was spo- ken of as only an inspiration for lovelier lingerie in the future. This finer filament yarn is already being made and soon will be available in nylon negligees and housecoats, in slips and night gowns that launder simply and in which the quality of drape, handle, and richness of fa- 'bric has been greatly improved. This important development will shortly be reflected in finer satins and taffetas, Just beginning to ap- pear on the market are nylon knit- ted (and unshrinkable) panties and slips.
