WITH IRENE

Letter to the Editor

Nov. Ist, New Westminster—Even on the first day of a holiday, the old (the editor) insis I turn out a column. Naturally I haven’t been able to gain and

slave-driver s that

many new impre:

ions as yet, this column is being turned out to the accompaniment of listening with oue ear to will have to forgive any 1, tinuity.

On a trip to the coast in the fall, I usually rave about the beanti- ful weather and the glowing countryside that Thave left behind. I complain bitterly of the damp chilly weather that seeps right into the bones, and because the diapers won't dry quickly enough down here.

But on a morning like this; T am ready to moye back to the coast any day. The bright sunshine is beaming down and it is warm enough to be outside without even a sweater on. The lawns are velvety expanses of emerald green and the chrysanthe- mums are still in bloom. There is a freshness about the air and I’m still waiting for the dampness to seep in

We left Williams Lake Sunday morning; the day and the countrys were drab and now, when I compare our town with the clean fresh. valley centres it was drab too.

As we moved south, the weather improved and the yellow leaves were still upon the poplar trees. With the bright blue sky and tbe bright blue water of the Thompson it made an unforgettable picture.

It is a year since we have driven to the coast, and the. pleasure of driving the whole way on good roads without the bone-jarring fifty miles to Lac La Hache and stretches of bumpy road construction, was im- measurable. Gone forever are the Tickety trestles that jutted out over the Thompson between Cache Creek and Spences Bridge;

Though the Canyon, the road around Jackass Mountain seems to be about the biggest obstacle left to modernize; no doubt they are saying the worst to the last. We personally would dearly love to see the road videned betore and beyond Alexan- Iria bridge, for it was there that we vere nearly removed from this earth oy a massive truck ona previous trip.

I said this was a holiday. but with two kids in tow life will still somewhat hectic. The first crisis of our trip arose Sunday night after we arrived.

Williams Lake, B.C., October 28, 19 The Editor, The Tribune,

Williams Lake, B.C. Dear Sir: May I, through the medium of

your paper, voice my appreciation for the splendid co-operation given by the various agencies who ,helped make the Chest X-Ray Survey a sue- cess. Special thanks to the ladies of the Royal Purple in Williams Lake and The Women’s Institute at 10 Mile House who helped with publicity and gave their time during the clinic 4o do clerical work.

I wish to thank the Elks for do- nating the use of their Hall, also the Public Works Department at the 100

of Hospital Board members who were on their way to Victoria to beg, bor- row or steal a new hospital out of the government. After I had been dropped off at my Mother's, and the entourage had continued on, I made the horrendous discovery that a vital cardboard box containing 90% of the baby’s diapers and bottles was on its way to Victoria too,

Since then I have been having a

merry time making formula two bottles at a time, and washing each diaper as it is soiled until the delega- tion returns.

Still, with little or no housework to do, with little or no meal plan- ning to do, with a hundred fascin- ating stores within easy reach, life become bearable

The walls of the apartment were beginning to close in, and pretty soon I probably would have been crawling up them.

The Brownies’ Corner

Serving tea to pass a Golden Hand test was a high point for § Golden Bar Brownies at the last meeting. | Very co-operative Guest was Miss Anne Midnight who complimented the girls and then passed them all.

group meeting. |

A good attendance of 26 little Brownies and Brownikins were on hand to practice marching in readi- ness for the Armistice Day Parade.

As there seems to be some unapls or loathe to return to the meetings we would like to ask any snch Brownie if they would help a new Brownie by selling them her used uniform,

All the Brownies and Guides were reminded at their meetings to assist in making their coming Bake Sale a huge success as funds are urgeritly needed. This will be held in the of- fice of F. B. Bass Ltd. Saturday afternoon.

Mile House for the use of their gar- ge and their generous assistance throughout the day. . Thanks too, to the Tribune, the local Theatre, and the Drive-in at 100 Mile for the publicity given the clinic. also to all those individuals too numerous to mention who gave their time and effort to make things run smoothly.

And last, but not least, many thanks to the general public who re- sponded to our appeal to turn out for

an X-ray. Yours truly, Miss Mary Kartner, Public Health Nurse.

C.W.L. To Sponsor Hospital Bridge

The Catholic Womens League will again sponsor an evening of Bridge and Cribbage in Columbus Hall dur- ing the War Memorial Hospital’s month-long tournament. The date of Wednesday. November 17th was set at the regular monthly meeting held in Columbus Hall. Co-conveners will be Mrs. Curling and Mrs. M. Gibbons

An interesting repqrt on the Help for Korea drive was given by Mrs. Getz, who told the meeting that

The annual bazaar report was very well received and showed a gfatit) ing profit as did the luncheon for the | 4H Club held during the week of the | cattle sale.

To aid in rebuilding the member- ship it was suggested that each at-| tending member bring a former | member to the next meeting sched- | uled for December 6. Miss W. eetman | and Mrs. Christie were named as a/ regular visiting committee to meet! and welcome the many new Catholic families. It is hoped to arrange sonfe parish ties with this same pur-| pose in mind.

USED UMBRELLA FOR PARACHUTE

contrat Prose Canadian Like many other ecight-year-

Richard Gault, of Lordon , knows all about the theory of parachutes and how thev slow down a _ person falling thrqugh the air. Richard, how- ever, decided to try out his new knowledge. He jumped from a second storey, using an umbrella as a parachute. Now he is in hospital with severe head injur-

olds.
