MYERS, PhD Last Christmas you may have received from several adult friends one or several pages of jingles they wrote, probably about theiaselves, They sup- posed it was poetry. Almost surely these were only piffling jingles. Perhaps it irked you to read them. Now and then, in your club, you have to listen while some member reads you some such drivel, We can expect this practice to grow worse. Many children in the elementary schools today are filled up with empty jingles they hear or read. Some are learning to read from books of rhymes which have little sense or challenge to their higher mental faculties. How can these jingles have much in them when they are written so as to use and repeat over and over just a few words? Literally, millions of mothers are buying books of jingles to read aloud. to their preschool children. Publishers of such books, even for children of the elementary grades, are making good profit from them. But don't young children like to hear or read these jingles? They certainly do, and some of them, enjoying their books, are Keeping them on empty jingles too long can have similar harm=--- Teachers wishing to stimulate their child in creative writing of poetry should first read tom, them or have them read manys= great brief poems which have... lived over the years. | =?

Heathen Countries Drowned Them Dear Ann Landers: The letter from the 13-year-old boy who said he was a nervous wreck because of his four-year-old sis- ter brought back memories. I spent five years in the de- livery section of a maternity ward. Every expectant father wanted his first born to be a boy. Half of them, of course, were disappointed--and said so. I used to think it was terrible the way some of those dopes 4 \even told their wives they were "let down." I made it a practice to get the disappointed fathers to one side and tell them it is always bet- ter to have a girl first because as she grows older and is told to watch her little brothers and sisters it will come naturally and she will enjoy it. When a boy is told to watch his younger brothers and sisters, however, he is ready to pack his toys and leave home. I've often wonders fathers remembered what I ha p.m. at Mrs. Lloyd Brown's, 294 Gliddon avenue, and Wednes' day, March 31 at 1.30 p.m. at Mrs. Wilfred Hamley's, 152 Ade- laide avenue east.

Golden Jubilee Chapter IODE Plans Busy Spring, Summer The March meeting of the Golden Jubilee Chapter, IODE, was held at Adelaide House re- cently with the regent, Mrs. J. A. Vivash, presiding. Mrs. D. M. Campbell read the correspondence and_ the members were pleased to hear that Mrs. T. K. Creighton would again be the Chapter's Honor- ary Regent. A letter of resigna- tion from. Mrs. Gordon. Curley was regretfully accepted by the members. An. invitation from the Paardburg Chapter in Bur- lington asking the members to attend their Antique Show and Sale on April 28 and 29 at the Royal Botanical Gardens was received with much interest by those interested in collecting antiques. A letter was read by the regent from the adopted school Mrs. S. A. Willson read a paper on World Affairs written by Mr. McIntyre Hood. It dealt with the situation in Alabama and Viet Nam and was most enlightening. Mrs. D. C. Hill, Golden Age Club convener, announced that the Senior citizens would be celebrating their 16th birthday on April 1 this year. IODE members have served refresh- ments to this organization every Thursday night since its incep- tion and plans for a gala cele- bration are being made for this party. May 14 has been set as the date for the mammoth rum- mage sale this year and Mrs. R. W. Barr and Mrs. Albert Walker will convene this event. It was decided to have this sale in the spring this year rather at McKerrow, Ontario, thanking the chapter for the books re- ceived for their library. Mrs. W. F. Faint, services at home and abroad convener, told of the plans being made by the Oshawa Folk Festival commit- tee and suggested that the chap- ter, in conjunction with the Prince Phillip Chapter, enter a float in this year's parade. The members were informed that a message of sympathy was sent by the National presi- dent to Lady Churchill and her family on behalf of all mem- bers of the IODE in the death of the Right Honorable Sir Win- ston S. Churchill. The National president was represented at the Memorial Service for Sir Winston Churchill, held in the Hall of Fame in Ottawa. Also, the Na- tional Executive committee voted the sum of $1000 to the "Winston Churchill Memorial Appeal" on behalf of all mem- bers across Canada. An announcement regarding the Canadian flag was made -- in that it would fly from its flagpole along with the Union Jack at National Head Office. It was emphasized that the IODE was composed of loyal Canadian subjects interested in contributing to the unity of the country and the Union Jack will remain the Flag of the Order only as a symbol of our Com- than the fall so members could dispose of summer clothing for a change.

Jones, Mrs. R. A. Patte, Mrs. J. E, Rundle, Mrs, D. H. Howe and Mrs. S. A. Willson. Delegates going to Hamilton on April 7, 8 and 9 to attend the annual meeting will be the regent, Mrs. J. A.
