What a democratic world we live in â€"when peasant things are in vogue in smart places and hardly anybody anyâ€" more strives for elegance or grandeur. FEepecially for summer, simple painted furniture looks pleasant and fresh and comfortable to live with. Especially for this summer we all seek to put our hands on earthy things, on reality, on robust designs for living. Most such things are equally livable for the year around but summer seems to be the time we get inspired to take on such johs. The Pennsylvania Dutch Influence The world has invaded> the quiet valleys of the Pennsyvivania Dutch peoples to borrow many of their furâ€" nishing ideas. Their gay painted motifs enliven many a plain utilitarian piece of furniture and suggest ('h'lrmidg ways to doâ€"over old furniture.. RBesides the possibility of a doâ€"itâ€"yaurself paint job, several manufacturers have preâ€" sented variouis iypes of â€"Pennsyivania Dutch chests decorated with hearts and tulips, dough trough side tables with painted ~flower detail, «chairs with painted sprays, plant stands with flowâ€" €er detail, open shelf eupboards with painted fruit medallions, along with wall racks, benches, corner cuphoards. The favourite motifs include hearts, tulips; lilies, birds, stars, fruit, intriâ€" cate penmanship scrolls, heéx signs. With this furniture, use plaids and . checks and stripes, printsd calicos, chintzes and woven goods with docu-l mented designs, braided rugs and patch quilts, bright pottery, tinware and pewter and painted glass.

Then Lake St. Clair overflowed in a tremendous food which submerged the farm land.

Spiritu@l Values Needed ‘"National unity in the democracies carmot be achieved without moral®and religious strength," Rev. Philip E. Auer, of Galion, Ohio, told the convention. It is not enough to gird ourselves with material weapons to withstand the fos. We must also arm ourselves with spiritâ€" ual values. Without them no nation can. endure. We must give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than the material values of life. ‘"We must be broad minded enough to shelter the many allars of all who seek the guidance of CGod," he said.

"There must be greater effort to protect lives, for we are engaged in an allâ€"out defense programme. It makes little difference whether men die in an automobile or a tank.

"He is devoting about ten hours a month to Kiwanis and remained in his club throughout the depression. The greatest appeal Kiwanis has for him is its underprivileged child work. He likes most all the weekly meetings, attending 8 out of every ten." Clubs were asked to investigate all nearby communities for bossibilities of building new clubs. "Fifteen years ago many leaders thought that Kiwanis had reached its final growth when e 1000th club was completed," Earle F. Gardemann, of Salt Lake City, reâ€" poried. *"*Since that time nearly 1200 new ones have been chartered. There are those who again believe we have reached the saturation point. This is untrus..
