Now airplanes are con- tinually flying overhead. He introduced Mrs. Norman Wright, Mrs. Jabez Wright, Misses Nora Werry and Effa Wright who sang in double duet "Whispering Hope", Mrs. J. Wright and Nora Werry were in old-fashioned cos- tumes, but as the morning fog and wetness was 50 discouraging there were npt enough: old-time long dresses to go around. :(Fortunately at noon the weather cleared and the afternoon was grand.)

An interesting feature was a num- ber.of photos of the pioneer Werry | brothers and sisters, and other pho- tos dating far back in thé last cen~ tury. The character portrayed in the faces of these men and women who left us a heritage rich in prin- ciple, is worth more study than we had time for, but set our minds wondering whether we are as ptead- fastly adhering to the things which will build up our Canada and hold it together as did the men and women of our own, and many other, families who came to Canada from England and Scotland over a cen- tury ago. The supper hour was. most en- joyable from every point of view, except maybe, the thought that soon we would parting for another year. But we parted hoping to meet again July 16, 1949.

U. officials Wednesday forecast even greater demonstrations on the Cornwall water front this week-end as their reply to threats made Tues- day by C. 8. L. and Sarnia-Colonial Steamships limited - to discontinue coal shipments to the city. The boycott was threatened as a result of the stoning of six vessels of the two companies last week-end during demonstrations against the shooting of five C.S(U| pickets at Sarnia. "Last week-end demonstrations were small affairs compared with these we are planning for this week-end," said Michael Jackson, C.S.U. Greoat Lakes director. "We know that the people of Cornwall are behind us in our fight against these Companies who are willing to go to any length--even the shooting of workers in order to break our union." Undeliverable Parcels To Aid U.K. Needy Generally speaking, the Canadian public has been most meticulous in observing the regulations which re- quire disposal instructions to be completed on the Customs Declara- tion Forms 91 B, when mailing bona fide gift parcels of food to the United Kingdom, These disposal in. structions inform the authorities overseas in case a parcel is unde- liverable to addressee, either to de- liver it to an alternate address, or to abandon it. Occasions do arise, however, when this information is omitted. Obviously, since the object behind the sending of a gift food parcel is to help relieve austerity conditions, the senders 'would pre- fer the food to be distributed to the needy in the United Kingdom ra- ther than returned to Canada at the sender's expense, when the par- cel is undeliverable. With this in mind Hon. Ernest Bertrand, K.C., M.P,, states that ar- rangements have now been made MRS. WILLIAM W.
