The otomer woe DAVINA OLDEN ANNIVERSARY | In every city, town, village and hamlet on this v: ist vith. their district. Respected,’ ‘admired and. loved, they have pioneered 7 this: great. Dominion. and have ‘given. their strength to the” character of its. ‘people. “Of such ‘stock: are: Mr. and Mrs. ‘J; J. White. who last. week, received the congratulations of the district. on the : occasion of their golden anniversary. — No longer engaged. in active business Mr. White is a “bulwark: of strength to many charitable and wartime ventures. His deep knowledge of the district, his friendly . ¢and helpful aid to newcomers continues to earn him new --friends and admirers. The manifold activities of Mrs “White cause many younger women to pause in wonder and to spur them on to new objectives. We add our. most sincere good wishes to Mr. and Mrs. White on this happy occasion. AFTER READING THE SPEECHES. . After studiously scanning Hansard a feeling of futility “must become .apparent. to the sincere reader. A great thought comes, and to each it will. be as if he or she had ~ stumbled: upon a great truth. It is, of course, that a Leader ‘is wanted for Canada. The Right Hon. W. L. M. King has «hada long, indeed record, national life. : =. -The-unity he has sought is today much farther away --than it was fifty years'ago. It is true that Canada has done ~ concerned with solving the problem of saving lives of men ho. are fighting for our country. - We have read-with considerable. care, and great inter est, “all the important speeches from:all’sides and corners of the : “House, of .Commons, .as ‘reported in the official. debates. One: ‘would have supposed that, faced with a reinforcement crisis, a Canadian ‘Government would have sent the rein- forcements at-all.costs. and in the. greatest possible. numbers. But it seems from the debates to be inescapable that Mr. King. feels: that: reinforcements: should be sént at. all costs,. excepting. the: riskiof what. he calls anarchy at home. An critic. has said’ ‘that Mr..-King. defines anarehy as nment which he does: not lead.

It will be noted that we still have smaller things in life... it is a good thing to hang on to... that “there is a Santa Claus” attitude. ‘The trouble is to hang-on to it. Money, my friends, lots of money, has the hard habit of making us blase, we (or rather those who have it) become fleshpots .. ; used to the luxuries of life and lose interest in the smaller adventures which charm your truly simple souls. - Now, back to the Land of the Afternoon Tea and the Fire Sirens. Leaving Fulford Harbour, after a pleasant “crossing” under the watech- ful eye of Capt. Maude, we had a puncture near one of the small farms on the road to Ganges. The place didn’t seem so rosy then... but Ganges Harbour, to our tired old eyes, is a most perfect setting for a village. Absolutely delightful, and this in the dead of winter! The islands, the inlet, the sea, the dwellings and business places on the petite peninsula, crowned with Mouat’s Store, it really is admirable. A day is not time enough to get about the Island. Luncheons there seem to consist of most magnificent meals of sound English cooking and occupy all afternoon. 1f you have never eaten a steamed pudding, properly boiled or steamed, ah, words fail us. It is interesting to note here that Ganges is not a forgotten spot in this Island Paradise. One gleans, even in one day, that your average Islander is very much alive as to what is going on. A single instance gives an insight into the progressive attitude of..the people in the administration of their own affairs. The Lady’ Minto Gulf Islands: Hospital, for instance, has had hospital insurance in force for 30 years! -It is only of very. recent years that this. admirable method of co-operative hospital insurance has been introduced in many another larger. community. . . We cannot presume to describe the ‘beauties. of the many resorts which are situated on the Island.. We intend. later, to visit’ them. Coming back, chatting with Capt. Maude’ we asked’ concerning :the, dif- ficulties - of = navigation, in threading :through’ the Islands - and “picking :- up the various spar- -buoymarkers. “In conimon’ with all inland water. the ferry trip an appreciation for the ‘had: just: “emerged - from: ‘the ‘inlet’ fate ‘Fulford, where: ‘had always” -been® picked up=-fr om. an island ‘dead ahead. . ‘echo? -reverberated:. to: the waiting: ‘ears. 0 ‘the ‘skipper. roceeded dead.
