Columbus-Man Much Impressed By Flower Shows Flower shows at Lethbridge, Win- nipeg and Vancouver received high praise from William D. Dyer, Co- lumbus gladioli grower, who re- cently returned from a flying tour of the three cities to visit their shows, Mr. Dyer was especially impress- ed by the Lethbridge show and an interview with him concerning the show was published in the Leth- bridze Herald. Mr. Dyer became associated with flower growing more than 20 years ago when a neighbor gave him a handful of bulbs. At that time he was not especially interested in the species but when they bloomed he decided he would grow better ones. Now he ships some 100,000 bulbs to his customers annually, COMPLETE ® Firestone V. McLELLAN'S HOME and AUTO SUPPLY Prince and' Bond Sts. PHONE 1096 Ontario County Boys and Girls Win C.N.E.

Country | Jettor By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Sept. 14 --(CP)--Ever since King Alfred the Great let the cakes burn, British cooking has been something less than famous. Now, it appears, Britons don't care any more. They're getting used to dull food. Under subtle changes in eating habits enforced by rationing and shortages, urban workers are being forced out of the home to supple- ment their diets. Britain by and large is becoming a nation of res- taurant and snack-bar eaters. Volume rather than variety is the target today, particularly in urban and town areas. "People have got so used to dull food they hardly want to change from it," is the stock sentiment among restaurant proprietors, "all they want is volume." A survey on the feeding habits of young workers, prepared by the London Council of Social Service, showed that six meals a day were "almost universally accepted." Some even took a seventh medl, a mid-evening snack. "i Among 56 boys and girls working in a London engineering plant, the routine was an early breakfast, 10 am. snack, mid-day meal, 4 pm. tea, tea again at 5 or 6 pm, and supper between 9 and 10 p.m. Most extra "meals" are obtained at snack bars. These generally are drab, ill-lit stores lacking such taken-for-granted items as table- cloths, saucers and spoons. Cana- dians in Britain seldom have much appetite for the sticky rolls and margarined buns which form the snack bar's principal fare. For those who can afford to pay more, many restaurants provide bet- ter food in better surroundings. If he wants to pay up to 25 shillings, ($5), the rich man at some restaur- ants can obtain so rare an item as fillet of pork. But he has to know where to go, and to "wink" at the restaurant's evasion of the legal limit of five shillings for food. Another food sidelight which helps those with money to spend concerns "luxury" foods such as fruit juices, salmon and tinned milk. These are on points and the working-class housewife lets them pile up on the shelves because she can't pay for them. So, - almost every week in London, street sales are held in the East End to dispose of the surplus stock, usually to West End buyers, But no matter what the "dodge," food generally seldom is prepared to the Canadian taste. Dominion athletes in London for the Olympic Games voiced a general complaint --the food was too heavy, too starchy, rather unexciting.

CHAS. WHITE Correspondent Thornton's Corners, Sept. 13 -- A shower was held Friday evening at the home of Mrs. Robert Sully for Miss Alice Sidler who is to be married on the 25th of this month. The room was gay with colored streamers, and the bride-to-be was seated under white bells and bal- loons. There were about 60 neigh- bors and friends present and Alice received some very lovely and use- ful gifts. During the evening an old tramp appeared, demanding admittance, but he turned out to be Mr. Gold- smith with a basket full of vege- tables, fruit and household gadgets for the bride-to-pe. She also re- ceived a quantity of tinned goods, minus their labels, which will no doubt give her many surprises dur- ing the canning year. Letters were written to the bride-to-be which she will open later when settled in her new home. A bounteous lunch climaxed the evening. Sunday School opened Sunday afternoon with 41 present, an in- crease of six over opening Sunday last year. A corn roast was planned for Wednesday evening of this week, to be held at Mr. and Mrs. Walter Langmaid's. Ladies, please bring cake or cookies.

Waded On Brink Of Niagara Falls Niagara Falls, N. Y. Sept. 14-- (AP)--Donald Halpin, 32, who went wading in the Niagara River was sentenced Monday to 30 days in jail on a charge of disorderly conduct. The wading was okay, but park re- servation police were annoyed be- cause he picked the iip of the Amer- ican Falls at Prospect Point for his venture, Patrolman James MacKay, who arrested. Halpin after a chase through the park, said the wader was clad only in shorts and was en- gaged in retrieving coins which had been tossed into tl:e water by visit- crs, Nothing Blind Person Cannot Succeed In, Says Rotary Speaker "There is nothing a blind person cannot step into and make a suc- cess of. Any handicap can be over- come. if approached with courage and determination," declared Rob- ert W. Beath, director of research and recreation, and chief librarian of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, in an address at the luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Rotary Club in Hotel Genosha yes- terday. : The speaker, himself blind since he was six years of age, brought the club a review of the activities of the Institute in its work among the blind of Canada. He was in- troduced by Rev. George Telford, chairman of the Oshawa Branch of the Institute, who said that 31 per- sons without sight.in Oshawa are given assistance by the Institute. The thanks of the club was voiced by Rotarian George Hart. Largest of Its Kind The largest organization of its kind in the world, the Canadian National Institute for the Blind was organized 30 years ago by Col. E. A. Baker, a 'casualty of World War I, who had 'received training at St. Dunstan's: in England. Prefacing his remarks, Mr, Beath recalled that his grandfather came from Scotland and built himself a log house in the bush, north of Oshawa, in 1810. A native of West- ern Canada, Mr. Beath is editor of the C.N.ILB. braille magazine which has a world-wide circulation. He commented that in primitive times it had been the practice to expose blind children and adults to the elements and it was not until the Christian era that this attitude changed and it was felt they should be protected. The first blind institute was started in France to aid those blinded during the Crusades. The Canadian Institute, started 30 years ago, operates factories in which brooms, aprons, baskets and other articles are made by the blind. Those who receive aid from it also operate restaurants and street stands, Its sales last year exceeded $7,000,000. Blind workers last year earned over $2,000,000. Such is the excellence of the methods used in Canada that its techniques are studied by other countries. Continuing Mr. Beath said that bowling, dancing, cribbage, domino, chess, crokinole and swimming clubs are organized and real en- joyment given the blind. Home Teacher Service A great work is being done among the blind; whose average age is 58 years, by home teachers who do a great deal to bring them hap- piness and teach them trades and activities which go far toward mak- ing them self supporting. Among the blind who have made a great contribution to world cul- ture and advancement were Sir Henry Fossett, a former postmaster general of Great Britain, Homer, Milton; Louis Braille, who develop- ed braille which enables the blind to read; the developer of the block buster bomb and Sir Charles Lind- say, Montreal millionaire piano re- tailer, who left $4,000,000 to charity. The speaker also told of a blind creamery operator and a blind phy- sician in Saskatchewan both of whom are leading normal lives and contributing to the advancement of the communities in which they live.
