Still, most of them have had an .egg for breakfast, for nearly all the women in Our Town keep back- | garden chickens. Had you known our women in | 1939 you would notice how much | they have aged in seven years. The 30-year-olds look heavier, the | 40-year-olds more harassed while | some at 50 100k as though they have | ceased to care. | Those seven years were harder | on them than on our men, and you can read it in their faces. Home .Guard grass-widowhood night after night, alone with the children in | _pomb-ridden homes, headaches over | food, fuel, lack of help--it all shows now in their faces and their figures. | That may be why, while our men .are noticeably more friendly, nel , and kinder to each | other than before the war, "ur women, unfortunately, appear to have lost little, if any, of their old snobbery. Pra the women of Our Town still rate the other half by the estimated sige of their husband's bank bal- es. "But there is a slow return to nor- mal After three months of stony silerice, Mrs. Brown, who runs our Domestic Agency, end who, while accepting my half-crown booking i fee, had told me the position was ie hopeless, finally phoned to say she was sending me a "housekeeper." . A girl arrived, wearing trousers holding a three-year-old by the hand, and puffing a cigarette. She asked for £3 a week, two bed-rooms, every week-end off, and "help with the rough." Those Trousers 1 decided to do both rough and smooth myself for a bit linger and was rewarded by a visit from an- other girl, , willing to occupy one bedroom, and take only alternate week-ends. She whistles merrily *"Good- night, Sweetheart" as she polishes the furniture and wears bell- bottomed trousers (demob gift from her sailor sweetheart) when taking John for walks. But she has the figure to support them and whistles extremely well. We closed our house way back in 1941 when Alfred went to the R.A. F. On reopening it, our first social call wag on the butcher, cheery Mr. Foster. It was a shock to find he had gone, squeezed to extinction by the tentacles of the Co-op. So we went to Sid, who fought in North Africa and Italy and has spent his demob. money in buying himself a third in- terest in: our other butcher's shop. 8id, like mother's old "family butcher," is not above sharpening his carving knife and admitting his meat is tough when it is. Also he wears his pre-war smile. Frosty Stares 1 wish we could say the same mostly as a major with the REM. E. in Northern Ireland, handling petrol by the hundred jerrycans, Now he doles out the odd three or four gallons, warily watching the gauge, while his curly blonde granddaughter coos at him {from her pram by his workshop door. He acts as nursemaid while his daugh- ter does the housework. The other day, when he and I were bemoaning the Government's meanness with petrol, young John asked: "When is the Government going to die, Mr. Ravenscroft?" I fear rationed oranges, sweets, and car rides are turning John into a reactionary. Taxes Up Rates in Cur Town are 13s. 4d, roughly 25 per cent. more than in 1939. This does not for main PR T drainage or street lighting, which, horrid rumour has it, the council wants to foist on us at our expense. But it does pay for the two charm- ing young policemen who play the lars that their forerunners played in 1939. Burglars adore Our Town.

LI 8 J Out of town guests at the Miller- Barrie wedding in Perth recently included Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Miller of Stratford; Mr, and Mrs. W. T. Lovelock of Oshawa; Mr. and Mrs, Omar Love, Smiths Falls, and Miss Beulah Barrie and Mr. and Mrs, Arthur Hanna, all of Ottawa. Lo 3 Mrs. Jack Stacey, the former Miss Margaret Shewchuk, was the guest of honor at a shower held last Wed- nesday at the home of Mrs. Leon Parkes, Avenue Street. The bride received many useful and attractive gifts from the 25 friends present. Lunch was served and a social time enjoyed. Loa I, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall York, St. watch our habits and pounce bY ji jien Street, held a party at the daylight when we are out, marks--a reminder of the after- noon they raided us and took my fur coat. Mrs, Charles came back from shopping recently to find two bur- glars leaving by her front door. She gave chase, but lost the race. A ripple of rage ran through our streets last month when council surveyors were to field, and word went round that a prefab settlement was to be built there. Much beer flowed in Rook- ie's Inn the night we learnt it was all a mistake, Talking of beer, our golf club lost two barrels on the railway, and our non-playing members nearly went crazy with thirst. Knocked Off The barman says it's now a com- monplace to have a bottle of whisky cr gin "knocked off," but it's the first time he's lost a barrel. We women all went mad the day Knight, Frank, and Rutley held an auction of Billy Sherbrook's effects at the old vicarage. The house was stacked with price- less antique furniture, rich damask curtains, valuable carpets. Women fought for his ourtains to turn them into evening frocks. Small carpets fetched £50 to £80, jons £3 each Dealers were mutter- "We're wasting our time" and I, who only wanted a souvenir, was out-bid on everything but his rec- ords Billy, who loved a joke, would have enjoyed watching that mad scramble for his chattels, many bought more than 30 years ago. Girl Porter We still have a highly efficient girl porter at our station. But to add insult to the, injury of raising | our fares, the railway is now trying to charge us 2s. 6d. for parking our cars in its yard and fixes pencilled notes on the windscreens of de- faulters' cars. Most of us circumvent this by meeting the six o'clock train with the car. That kills two birds--the dency of -our demobbed husbands to call in at Rookie's for a quick one on the way home. There they gossip as only men can, of the old Home Guard days, their war service, the price of food in the City, and What-the-Govern- ment - is - going-to-do-next while their dinners get scorched. The gossip and the beer-drinking don't matter--much; but we do like our men to show respect for young Sid's rare steaks and Mr. Ansell's onions--when we get them.

Inspiration for the music and topics was drawn from the Christ mas story. A duet was sung by Mrs. Irene Tole and Mrs. Fred Wilson. Members contributed gifts to be used on the Christmas tree at the Oshawa Russian-Ukrainian Mission. Refreshments were served at the close of the meeting. No Exception Made For Working Wives There will be "no list of occupa- tions set up in which married wo- men could participate," and earn an income not taxable under 1947 income tax regulations, according to Hon. J. L. Ilsley, former minister of finance. This statement was made in a letter to Dr. Harvey Agnew, secre- tary of the Canadian Hospital coun. cil, who had written requesting that married women who do essential hospital work be considered part of a category of persons allowed spe- cial exemption in the 1947 income tax scale. Many married women among nurses and other hospital personnel have threatened to quit work in the new year, Dr. Agnew said, as wives do not think it would be profitable to work when their husband's tax- able income is increased by any amount over $250 that the wife earned during the year. "I am in hopes that when the reasons for the tax change are carefully consideréd and the very small effect of it is appreciated, the results that have been feared 'will not occur," Mr. Ilsley wrote, A se- lection of essential occupations, the former minister contended, would set up a tax discrimivation between occupations, Happiness Birds Fmbroider a bluebird (symbol of happiness) on your towels, one for each day of the week, All stitches are basic ones, easy to work out.

BARBARA ANN McCOMB daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ted McComb, Highland Avenue. --Photo by Hornsby Studio Man-Made Murk Costs Millions By MARION PRICE Fog is here again. We get it ev- ery winter. Britain is the foggiest country in the world. We suck lozengers, turn up our collars, and blame the weather, But fog has nothing to do with Nature. ' We make it ourselves. Fog is humanity's only really striking contribution to the phenomenon of weather. It doesn't give much cause for pride. * It is caused by floating soot par- ticles, glued together in damp alr. A man walking through the streets in dense fog breathes 14,000,000,000 particles of soot per hour in Lon- don and 20,000,000,000 particles per hour in Manchester. . And that isn't the worst. Roch- dale leads the world in fog density _...with an average annual depos- it of 793 tons of soot per square mile, Liverpool rates second with 660 tons and Blackburn third with 639. Runners-up are: Birmingham, 440; Manchester, 332; City of Lon- don, 426; Leeds, 393; and Glasgow, 370. On a really foggy day in a big town there can be as much as 200 tons of soot floating in the air breathed in by the denizens. This equals the total weight of 3,000 hu- man beings fragmented into the air. There are 2,500,000 tons of soot belched over Britain every year.... easily the dirtiest, foggiest country in the world. i At Leeds Technology College stu- dents are taught .that soot thrown out from a 100-ft. chimney will take three weeks to settle, and may drift more than 50 miles into the adjac- ent countryside. Every city in the industrial north- lands spreads thousands of pounds yearly upon cleaning public build- ings, Not even the Government can know what the extra soap bill totals for housewives. Just before the war Colonel Nor- man G. Thwaites declared London could be made smokeless and fog- less for a cost of £5,000,000. This sum would include the init- fal expenses of adapting furnaces to a system of low-temperature car- bonization 'to eliminate soot-waste. Within three or four years London could have paid this off in direct saving. The countless added benefits of a fog-free capital would be so much added dividend. This was one of the schemes shelved for the duration. Since then there have been all kinds of improvements in air-filters, as hu- manity strove to protect itself from the potential menace of poison war gases, Mrs. Terwillegar Entertains Group The Christmas meeting of the Bast Group of the Woman's Asso- ciation of Centre Street United Church was held on Friday evening at the home of Mrs. Bert Terwille- iv with Mrs. C. 1. DeGuerre pre- Mrs. Westfall, 8r., took the wor- ship service, reading the Christmas lesson, followed by prayer and the .| singing of Cliristmas hymns. Mrs. R. D. Peel gave a "recipe" for a happier Christmas which was much enjoyed by all. Mrs. Robert Kirk read a story entitled "Our Christ- mas in India", - . The secretary, Mrs. Harry Young, gave a very satisfactory financial report on the year's work and the activities of the Group since the war's end. At the end of the busi- ness session conducted by the pres- ident, the winning side of the cop- per contest was made known, name- ly, Mrs. W_ P. Knight's team, leav- ing the losers to entertain the Group to a supper early in January. The president thanked all who had worked or helped in any way through the year, and wished all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year's, A nominating committee was then appointed for 194.7 A Christmas lunch was served by the committée in charge, and a vote of thanks was proposed to Mrs. Terwillegar for having the last meeting of the year at her house, Social Notices $1.00 Marriage Announcements t An $1.00 Married in Perth' Will Reside Here Miss Mary Bdna Barrie, daughter of Mrs. Albert Barrie of Perth, Ont., and the late Mr, Barrie, was united in marriage Chris Wayne Mill- er, son of . and Mrs, Charles M.

For the trip to Western Ontario; the bride donned a gray dress with black accessories. On their return, the couple will live in Oshawa. Many telegrams of good wishes were received by the bride and bridegroom from Oshawa, Stratford, Ajax and Whitby. Money Is a Flop, Assert Islanders By DOUGLAS KAY Money is a flop--useless, and a nuisance. The verdict comes from Tristan da Cunha, Britain's islet speck in the South Atlantic, 2,000 miles west of Capetown. The 210 islanders have given jt a three-year trial and aren't bothering to find out whe- ther it has any roots or evil or any- thing. They have got rid of the stuff. They saw money for the first time in 1942 when a British naval party landed to erect a war-time radio-meteorological station and took ashore £3,000 in English and South African «currency to hire is- land labour. How To Use Money Patiently, politely, the islanders listened as an officer explained all about the coloured paper and pret- ty rounded pieces of metal, went on to uncover some of the mysteries of banking, and praised the delights of hard to hoard piles of the new stuff. 4 They were not impressed, but for three years they humoured the vis- itors, accepted the stuff as payment instead of potatoes, and even car- ried it around in the pockets they need for knives and string and thing that really matter. , Last year all but & handful of the Men-Who-Use-Money sailed away. Very soon all the money was in the island's brand new Post Of- fice Savings Bank (except a few pieces saved as war souvenirs) be- cause that was what the Man-Who- Introduced-Money had told them to do. Now news comes from Tristan that having given the monetary system as practised by the outer world a fair trial the islanders are solid that it doesn't make sense. Money Of No Use You can't eat it; it doesn't have roots, evil or good, so jt won't grow; away with it! And, anyway, some of the other Men-Who-Use-Money had men- tioned perils called income tax and other taxes (not to mention rates), which were known to follow money around. Tristan has gone back to her po- tato currency. Someone does a job for you; right, you reward him with some potatoes, something to eat. A pre-war cruise-liner offered the island ladies some face powder and lipstick. They accepted it wonderingly, and went on wondering until some- one explained that it was used .by ugly, ladies in the outside world as bait || because men were scarce. How the Tristan ladies laughed, because in this little * if nature'.sees to it that there are al- ways more men than women. wm Re-elect Mrs. Gales Head of Eve.

Has Three DSO's At the Canadian Military, Head- quarters in London there is a tall, distinguished soldier who 1s growing Just a little tired of having his me- dal ribbons queried. Regimental Sergeant-Major Al- bert Thomas James, DSO. and bars, is a veteran of two world wars and hag five rows of ribbons. He won the DSO. as a major in Mesopotamia in 1920, and two bars when he was a colonel in India. Military policemen cannot under- stand why a regimental sergeant- major should be wearing officers' decorations and frequently stop and question him about them. "Now I carry a special document issued by Canadian Headquarters to prove that my decorations are in order," RSM. James told a Sunday Dispatch reporter. A Cardiff man, James, fought in the trenches in France in 1914. He was commissioned in the Tank Corps in 1918 and left France to join the Indian Cavalry on the North-West Frontier. Before he left the Army in 1935 James had become acting brigadier with substantive rank of full colo- nel, He wanted to "see the world," he said, so, accompanied by his wife and four daughters, he went to Canada. Twelve hours after the declara- tion of World War II the former colonel] was a private driving a lorry.

MacMillan Sees Yule Music As Factor in World Affairs The spirit of Christmas associated with song can have a powerful in- fluence in improving international as well as social relationships, gir Ernest MacMillan, guest speaker $k the Toronto Canadian Sidi Yi eon, told members at their mas meeting yesterday. 3 "It is significant," he contin "that the message, 'Peace on to men of goodwill'--a message so | much needed by the modern world, should be associated with music." Outlining the origins of scags and carols, Sir Ernest gave a short history of the difficulties encountered with the spirit of the feast. Sir Ernest described the Christ- mas carol "as the ordinary man's effort to express his feelings about the seasons of the year." He explain. ed that the word "carol" at one time held an evil significance. The great period of the carol was the 14th and 15th centuries, he continued, but most carols popular today are of a much later date. Mentioning carols concerned with the traditional rites of Christmas and with eating and drinking, Sir Ernest ended by reciting a satirical caro] based on the stock exchange, The Leslie Bell Singers sang a number of carols and other selec- tions and Frederick Silvester, organ- ist of the Bloor St. United Church, played Christmas music.
