The first birthday of Adelaide House, the home of the Oshawa Young Women's Christian Assoclia- tion, was marked yesterday by the unveiling of a brass plaque in the presence of a large company which had accepted the general invitation to Open House.

Mrs. Ewart McLaughlin, another instruc tor, also supplied information, The Camera Club showed some lovely specimens of its work. Each landscape seemed more attractive than the last but when one came to the ch g picture of the child on the stairway, doubt no longer lingered in this reporter's mind; that was the choicest one of all.

Just now, many of them possess attractive ittle telephone books of their own workmanship, Miss Grace Wilson during the af- ternoon presided at a table selling the Y.W.C.A, Christmas cards which bear a fine photograph of Adelaide House.

In Toronto The ~Photo by Hornsby Studio This World We Live In (By the Woman's Editor) We came across this parody the other day and pass it on as being quite in keeping with the present time: How doth the busy employee Improve the shining hour, By walking out continually To demonstrate his power! This is not true of everybody, even in these critical days in the United States. One feels like con- gratulating the 2,400 union watch- makers in Waltham, Mass, who went so far as to buy a whole page in their local paper to tell the world they liked thelr jobs, their employers and, by implication, their present pay. There is so much dissatisfaction and plain "growl- ing" everywhere that it is a good thing to realize that there are ex- ceptions. Buggies For Britain No, this is not a misprint, we mean buggies, Bundles for Britain folded up here in Oshawa recently after meeting a great need in a fine way. We wonder if perhaps Bun- dles might not be changed to Bug- gles and the work continue in many places for only one British mother out of two may be able to get a pram this year. Putting it in an- other way, babies are being deliver- ed in Britain twice as fast as new Poe in London lately kid- napped a baby in a pram, then dis- carded the infant and sold the bug- gy in the black market. A second- hand pram which originally cost $5 now sells in the ordinary mar- ket for $40, the top price in pre- war days. The thief likely made a tidy sum. Trust a Scottish Member of Par- liament for thinking up a solution for the pram shortage: it's a share- the-pram plan. Another solution suggested by an English writer is a pram-taxi service and, one asks, why not? Rather expensive, how- ever, for many families. A Common Vernacular A proud mother boasted that her daughter spoke Esperanto as fluent ly as a native--so the story goes. Anyhow, Professor William Orton of Smith College, speaking recently in New York City on religion, de- clared that the "student today has not read the Bible and cannot un- derstand any references or allusions to the Bible." 'What he said applies also in Can- ada as any teacher of English will testify, We wonder if one of the significant aspects of that state- ment is generally grasped. We are striving to create One World. UNO has that as its goal. The loss of the unifying force of the Bible is some- thing we can {ll afford to suffer. The Bible not only gives what has been called a "common vernacular" but it gives a culture which we proudly call Christian as opposed to other cultures. This culture we are in danger of losing if we lose its source. To what extent religious in- struction in our schools will reme- dy this remains to be seen. Lodge Welcones Visiting Officers The Ladies Auxiliary, Oshawa No. 11, L.AP.M., held its regular meet- ing in the 1.0.OF. auditorium last Friday when the president, Lady Ina Follest, and the vice-president, Lady Clarissa Saunders, were in charge.
