YOUR EVERY DETAIL REMEMBERED
What do you know about your Father and Mother?
Dear Diamonds:
Sometime ago 1 mentioned an idea suitable for your scrap-book. Now we are going to dis-cuss the idea more extensively, only as it happens the thought h a s grown into something which will be just a little more than a page or two in that scrapbook. It is going to be a book by itself. A Family History Book. And to illustrate just what 1 have in mind I hope to in following issues present one of our own Diamond Club members “Family History” as an example.
When Farbror Olle approach-ed this Diamond Club member regarding the idea, she seemed a bit shy of the thought at first. “There is nothing very extra ordinary about our family.’ She said.
A very nqtural reaction, yet 1 definetely disagree. There is something extra ordinary some-where about every Family His-tory, no matter how humble the lives, and no matter that they have come and gone un-noticed and detached from the big noices and glaring head-lines of the world.
God must have loved the common people because he made so many of us. And so now we are going to take the ordinary Family History o f common people like ourselves, and unearth lives and little incidents which will show that even in an ordinary family there is romance and adven-ture undreamed of, hidden in branches of the Family Tree, which until now have passed unnoticed, or lain forgotten, until you came along and blew the dust of the years away.
In the illustration of a Family Tree you would be sitting in the top of it since at present you are the youngest leaf. But as we slowly climb downwards and explore the various branches until at fast we come to the root, we may find that it has suddenly become a gigantic and magic tree, it’s roots trav-ersing the oceans and encirc-i ling the world itself.
i So there you are in the top j of a magic tree. At your feet is the world. And as your eyes follow the journeyTng of those roots you can see how from Canada they reach out and unite you with faraway coun-tries across the seas. One root may dig itself into the soil of France, Italy or Spain while

At the foot of Granville St. is a large neon sign across the entrance to the pier, reading “Canadian Pacific Spans the World’’. Well so does the Diamond Club. Members of our club live in Canada, the United States, Scandinavia, and even in the Southern hemisphere, namely in New Zealand Our Season s Greetings this past Christmas coming from farthest
An Invitation to
Membership
All boys and girls from birth to the age of 18 are invited to become members in the Diamond Club. There are no fees. The purpose of the Club is that we wish to, and try to, do something for our members. What we have done in the past is not very much — nor do we know how much we shall be able to do in the future. Never-theless many of our present members o r past members (who have grown up) have given expression to a very kind-ly feeling towards the Diamond Club, and that the club has meant something to them, even though we feel that not very
another reaches out into the starlit, snowy depths of north-ern Scandinavia thus uniting the ice of the north and the sun of the south. And there you are a little part of them both in the top of your magic tree, studying the vastness and stränge possibilities o f the world below.
There is no limit to the stränge variations we shall come across as we follow the journeyings of those roots. As ! well as all the odd and funny, details we shall unearth as we 1 step by step go on with our I task of compiling the Family | History Book.
It will have to be a neat and systematic job though, because eyes others than our own will someday gaze upon this docu-ment of the past. With that in mind be prepared to do all your scribbling and factflnding out-slde the pages of the book. And as for your Imaglnation and artistlc ablllties, there will be unllmlted possibilities for exerj-cising them.
Now sleep on the idea and there after as gentJy as possible prepare poor father and moth- ' er for all the questions In store I for them. I know they will en-joy the book immensely after i it is finished, and someday you | yourself will be very glad you | took upon yourself the task of a family historian.
I am sure we are going to have fun and learn a lot of value besides.
Until next time “good dlg-ging.”
Sincerely,
Tant Sylvia.
away was this aerogram from Eve Sanders of Whangarei. Of course, 1 am happy to receive any and all greetings, and this is perhaps my best opportunity to say“Thank you” to all send-ers. Since this one is in a way outstanding, I did like you all to see it, so I have had a cut made for its reproduction.
Sincerely yours, FARBROR OLLE

At any rate you always get a birthday greeting in the paper every time your birthday comes around, and that is, of course, something. So why not find a paper and pencil right now and put down your name, address

Tändstickor har förorsakat allvarliga eldsvådor i posten till bortomhavs...
VARNING!
LAGG ALDRIG MED ELDFARLIGA MATERIALER I PAKET ...
TÄNDSTICKOR OCH BRÄNNOLJA för cigarettrtändare i paket för bortomhavs ha försakat allvarliga eldsvådor. Tänk på vad detta betyder. Tusentals säckar innehållande brev och paket ligga djupt nere i fartygets lastrum, skakande i svår
sjö. Om tändstickor eller bräns-lervätska fatta eld — VILKET DE GÖRA — så innebär detta att tappra sjömän måste gå ned i det rökfyllda lastrummet och däri riskera sina liv. Tusenden paket kanske förstöras — tusentals män bli besvikna.
VILL NI INTE HJÄLPA?
Vi veta att du icke medvetet skulle vilja sätta liv eller post i fara. Så tänk — och sedan lägg icke tändstickor eller eldfarjig vätska i paket.
