When the family moved to New York, Ray liked best to go to Cen- tral Park and spent hours there ob- serving the beetles, butterflies, frogs, garter snakes and turtles which abounded right at hand. Ray was particularly interested in snakes and spent his vacations catching them and trying to make pets of them. At eighteen he was married and at nineteen wrote the first book of its kind, "The Reptile Book." At twenty-three he became Assis- tant Curator of Reptiles in the New York Zoological Park. The descriptions of his collecting trips, his work with antivenins and his scientific research are all in- tensely interesting. With its many illustrations and the dramatic story of the thrills and adventures of the every day life of a scientist, this book is one that will give pleasure to'many. We recommend it highly. (3) "He Conquered Death"--The story of Frederick Grant Banting by Margaret Mason Shaw. You have all heard of the famous Canadian who came from a simple farm home in Alliston, Ontario, to study 'medicine at the University of Toronto. During World War I he served with the Medical Corps and was awarded the Military Cross for courage under fire. A few years later he and his colleagues discov- ered the insulin treatment for dia- betes and became famous overnight. Honours were showered on him from all of the world, includ- ing knighthood in the Order of the British Empire. This book gives a picture of Banting as a boy and later as a man interested in painting and a lover of animals. It also portrays a keen scientist who did not give up with the discovery of insulin but risked and gave his life to help in the war effort. The book ends with these words of Banting, well worth remembering--"I am a firm believ- er in the theory that you can do or be anything that you wish in this world, within reason, if you are prepared to make 'the sacrifices, think and work hard enough, and long enough."

Former Oshawa Girl Married MR. AND MRS. JOSEPH BARRON whose marriage took place in the East Chapel of the Timothy Eaton The bride, who was formerly Ruby Emma Grainger, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. N. Grainger of Toronto, and the bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Barron of Bradford, The couple will live in Toronto, \ "Canadian women have the repu. tation of being slaves to patterns," declared Mrs. Lereine Ballantyne addressing a capacity audience in Christ Church hall last night. "We can disprove this by prio mo- tifs typical of our banner Province of Ontario." Think of the blue wa- ters, the flowers of the field and forest and the fruit, and experiment with color schemes in your crafts and hobbies, she advised her listen. ers, Mrs. Ballantyne, who was spon- sored by the Robin Rood. Milling Co., was introduced by Mrs Stanley Gales, president of the Evening Guild of Christ Church Woman's Auxiliary, The first era of handicraft in this country was that of the red woman who worked with beads, leather and grasses, using splinters of bone for needles and sinews for thread, Her wampun belts told the story of events of her day. Through the ages, historical events have been re. corded by women through handi- crafts, Mrs. Ballantyne said. The second era was that of the pioneer woman who made every- thing she needed from sheer neces. sity, the speaker pointed out, She would card, spin and weave her wool, and make rugs and quilts, many of which are treasures today. Things which are carefully and beautifully made, though relegated to the attic by the second genera- tion, are invariably brought forth as antiques by the third. A new era in handicrafts is dawn. ing, asserted Mrs, Ballantyne. There is a keen interest manifested all over the Province in al] kinds of crafts. It is the easiest thing to form & group when two or three women get ether to work out their ideas, Get books from your library, she advised, and find the source material, In no time, your group will grow. It is like planting an acorn and getting a tree. Every- oneshas an urge to make, collect or admire things. "When I read an article in Mc- Lean's magazine of September stat. ing that the women of Ontario can- not. cook," said Mrs. Ballantyne, "I broke out in a cold fury. But, on se- cond reading, I realized how few specialized eating places there are in Ontario. Nothing can bring en- during fame faster than a speciale ized dish." she declared. History of Crafts Inspires Reading the history of crafts is a fascinating gtudy, according to Mrs. Ballantyne. The story of pottery and dyes, like Stafford blue and Lincoln green; the story of metals, suggested by the gold brooch turn- ed up by a plough-boy in Ireland recently, proving that gold was worked in Ireland thousands of years ago; the story of weaving, a craft in Egypt 5000 years before Women Urged to Disprove Charge Of Being Slaves to Patterns Christ was born; the story of bak- ing, and the origin of the baker's dozen--all these make intensely in- teresting reading and are a source of inspiration, Mrs, Ballantyne as- serted, - 'When a job becomes a pleasure it becomes a hobby, and with applica. tion, it becomes a craft. When crea- tive beauty is brought to the craft, it becomes an applied art, Mrs. Bal- lantyne explained, and each person has some skill which can be devel- qped into a craft, Every town should have a hobby shop, she felt, for the benefit of old and young alike. After a brief intermission, Mrs. Ballentyne explained the recipes in the little book which had been dis- tributed, and asked her listeners to experiment with flavourings to dis. pel the theory that Ontario women were slaves to patterns. Mrs, Wolfe Miller proposed a vote of thanks to the speaker. During the evening, Miss Jean Magill sang two groups of songs accompanied by Mrs. Jack Lee who also played Sinding's "Rustle of Spring". ' Articles made by members of the Evening Guild were on display. Em- broidered pillow cases, hand knitted baby jackets and cuddly dolls found a ready sale. Those who were disap- pointed will have another chance at the bazaar in December when a big- ger supply will be available, 'The visitors were served tea by the Guild members, IXXXXXIXIIIXIXIXIIIIXIIIIE $0900 900 9009000000000 604 Attention We're experts in styling your hair the new, becom- ing way.

The light fluffy suds you get with VEL are somewhat like a frothy drink or an ice-cream soda--the gosdes is beneath the froth and ubble--and lasts long after the suds subside. You don't need last~ ing suds with VEL. I've found that the clear solution left after VEL suds dissolve, has all of VEL's origi- nal cleaning power. And it acts just as soft as rain water. That's why VEL is so easy on the hands bi so beneficial in the bath-tub. ~ VEL FOR DISHWASHING A teaspoonful or two of goaploss VEL in dishpan or sink (nothin, else, please!) is all that is require to speed up dishwashing. No need to add soap or any other cleaner to your VEL solution. Soapless VEL alone cuts grease quickly and leaves no smears on glass or china, nor scarcely any scum around the sink. For hard-to<clean pots and pans and for egg-stained spoons and plates, VEL's cleansing action is really amazing. ' St. George's Parish Hall New Soapless VEL Is New Modern Cleaner by Frances Thompson noted homemaking authority Soapless VEL has changed my ideas of washing clothes and doing dishes.. This modern dis- covery has shown me for all time that heavy suds, such as soap products produce, are not free from soapy alkalis. It contains VEL FOR DELICATE FABRICS I have found that soapless VEL issolves instantly and pletely in lukewarm water. This makes it particularly good for washing lin- gerie, woolens and nylons. Unlike soap, VEL is a neutral product, nothing to harm colours or delicate fabrics. Use a little less VEL than soap (no need to add more when the suds subside). You'll find one rins- ing is sufficient and it eliminates soapy film and scum: VEL FOR HOUSEHOLD CLEANING A tablespoonful of soapless VEL in a pail of warm water quickly removes' grease and dirt from painted surfaces, walls, windows, mirrors and tiles. No rubbing, Tins- ing or drying is necessary. Just Tling out the cloth and wipe off the dirt. 18-V-6D "VEL" is a registered trademark of the COLGATE-PALMOLIVE-PEET CO. LTD, [| more than 40 years old. If your name is WENDY « » « then you can't be wee , one of the most popular girls' names, was invented by '. M. Barrie for his famous children's play--"Peter Pan," first produced in 1904. His inspiration was little Margaret Henley, whose father, W. E. Henley, was R. L. Steven- son's model for Long John Silver in "Treasure Island." Margaret always called Barrie "wendy," the nearest she could get to "friendly." "She died when she was only five," says Roger Lancelyn Green in his "Tellers of Tales" (a review of children's favorite authors and thelr books of the last 100 years, published by Ed- mund Ward, 8s. 6d), "but he never forgot her, and ten years bier made her the heroine of his play." hd . Veteran in Hospital Writes to Auxiliary Mrs, Vernon Sanders, hospital convener of the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Sergeant's Mess has received the following letter from an Osh- awa boy, confined to the Veterans' Hospital at Peterborough, "Dear Mrs. Sanders, I received some cigarettes from Mrs. Mills who told me the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Sergeant's Mess donated them to us, I thank the Auxiliary and you very much. I happened to be out of cigarettes at the time and it sure was swell to get them from the Auxiliary. The other Oshawa boys felt the same as I did. We have three of them down at our end of the floor. Words alone can't ex- press my thanks. Mrs. Mills has been swell to us, and I hope to see her again, I'm not much of a fel- low for writing and it's very hard to construct a letter here. No in- teresting subjects to talk about. "I send you and all the folks who have been looking after us my sin- cerest thanks, I'm very tired as I have been aspirated and that took about all the strength out of me. Thanks again, it sure was a swell thing to do. Sincerely, Peter S. Shody." The secretary, Mrs. A. G. An- thony, reports that many of the boys in military hospitals are not being remembered at all. The Auxiliary to the Sergeants Mess sends parcels every month to 36 Oshawa boys, but there are more than 60 to be taken care of. The proceeds from the bazaar to be held in the Armouries on Friday, Dec. 6, from 2 to 5 p.m. will be used for making up Christmas parcels for the Oshawa boys in hospitals. Double Wedding Was Repeated Two brides, lifelong friends, left their homes in the village of Silver End, Essex, for a double wedding at the local Congregational Church. At night, when they should have been on honeymoon in the Isle of Wight, they were home again with their parents. 'The bridegrooms spent the night at the local hotel. The next day the couples were married again, the second time within 10 hours. Reason for this "double double- wedding" was the failure of the re- gistrar from Witham to appear at the church on the day arranged, al- though the wedding parties, with more than 100 guests, waited at the church for nearly an hour, Then the minister, the Rev. A. J. Stubbs, performed the religious Joan Halls the wife of Mr. Hugh Brown, 24-year-old Belfast man serving with the RAF. and uniting 21-year-old Miss Joyce Cook and Mr. Ronald Stammers, 26-year- old ex-soldier from Wood Green.
