Rotary Club Makes Plans For Piano Duo Recital Cedars ide Church Held Annual Meeting Wednesday The annual meeding of Cedars^ide Church was held Wednesday evening of last week, with a good representa- tion of the membership. Rejports were received froni all departmen s of the ^vork which showed progress. Nearly two thousand dollars .'as raised for all purposes dur'ing the ytar. There were four adddtions to the membership, with no losses. Officers elected were: Trustees, J. Sewell, J. Whyte and C. Betts; Deacons, M. Hutchinson, .\. McKech- nie and C. Betts; Treasurer, Mi-s. D. WilHams: Clerk, Emersou Beaton; S. S. Supt., Cecil Betts; Organist, Miss Ada Whyte, assistant Miss C. Hu'tchiinson.; B. Y. P. U. President. Nelly Fletcher. The editor took a jaunt to Chatham on the week end and had a most en- joyable trip, although the high wind stomi interferred somewhat witii perfect driving ^.onditions. k\\ the highways were in very good condi- tion, somewhat rough in places, but rhey came through the winter very well. The gravel roads showed tht effects of the frost emerging, ih" road to Durham being rough, though greatly intproved with a libeual ap- pljcaLion of gravel. As we traivelled south we cou'.d see the changes come iin the condi- tion of nhe land. The farmers here were just starting' to get on the land and around Wingham seeding operations were in progress, many fields being already sowed to grain. The grass was showing green in th? field's, but it was not until we were west of London that cattle and oihor stock was to be seen pasturinv ')'i grass that was a fair height. We went to Chatham' via Strath- roy and called on Albert Colgan, wh;) is operating a street booth tor th-? Canadian National Institute for the Blind. We had ;iuite a talk with .^'bert and he appears to be in good spirits despite his affliction, which came upon hilm several years ago. Ho is hoping to come to Flesherton this summer for some trout fishin^r. South of Strathroy we went through severe dust storms, the light land Utterly flying into space and landing several miles away. At times we could not see the road ahead and ci'.me almost to a stop in one pla^?e. Around Thamesville we noticed many old oil wells that had stopped prj- iiucing, although there were sevei'al that were operating part time. The field is almost done in that distric. There was quite an odor of a;as '.n the air at that poin^ The Chatham district mainly is a corn growing, sugar ibeet, soy beei and tobacco region, but the season is al~o -very late there. Farmers haJ some grain planted and were busy readying the land for sugar beets and bean crops, some of them al- ready being planted. Some fanners are sowing 50 acres in s'ugar beets. .\ large sugar factory operates it Chatham and all beets grown are on the contract basis. Tomatoes and peas are also being iri'own for a can- ning factory erected in the past tw) years. Chatham has been growing rapidly and several new large fac- tories have been built and more are planned to be buiit this summer. An area that was farm land three years :!.a:o when we last visited Chatham, lias bee" built up entirely with fac- tories, service stations and other bus- iness firms and another area has been built with new homes.

Work commenced on the erection of the new B-A service station on Toronto Siieet on Monday, to replace the one destroyed by fire in April of last year. Plans were drawn up last fall and D. L. Weber & Sons of Kim- btrley was tiie successful tender for the work. It is expected that the building will be completed in two months. Mr. Reg. Boden was opera- ting the former service station and will be in charge of the new build- ing when completed. Large And Small Eggs Two eggs wtre brought lo The -Advance office by Mrs. Geo. ClarK, narth of Eugenia, that were laid by the same Barred Rock hen two days in succession. The large one waj T^'ixtJ'i, which is not extra large, but the one laid next day looked like a bird egg beside the large one. On measuring it we found the size to be 4''sx3^8, although the laige one appeared to be many times larger. The effort in producing: the large egg apparently was too great, heni;e th'.' small effort the next day. PUBLISHERS VISITED OWEN SOUND SUN-TIME NEW PLANT The newspaper publishers oi Grey.

Boden of town, and were mar- ried in S'. Michael Parish. Sirtii.-g- bourn, Kent, England. Mr. and Mrs. Gales are well known in Fleshevtor. having viisited their daughter and family here on different occasions. Keeping Happy Quite recently we happened upoa a magazine article that dealt at great length with the question of ho'W to keep women happy. Perhaps it was our initial failure to realize how unhappy they were, or perhaps it was just that we didn't follow the aigument with s'ufficient care, but it seemed to us that the conclusion did not get anywhere in particular. We couildn't fit the solution very satis- factorily to the life pattern of most of Che women we had known. It was all right, perhaps, for th* j Colonel's Lady but not for Judy O'Grady, although Mr. Kipling has assured us that these are sisters under the skin. The findings of a New York forum on a somewhat similar theme that appeared in a paper about the same time, seemed to us to conie nearer to an applica- tion that would fit a good many types of women, and men, too, for that matter. The solution was to give women "volunteer and part-time jobs whicli are congenial"' â€" the idea, of fourse, being to employ sui-plus en- eigies. and to provide something new to think about. The forum did not give nvueh c^msideration to those whose homes and families occupied all the time and energy at their dis pcxsal. Is there no easy formula for them, or is it that they are happier already than those with too much time on their hands? It seemed t.> u.<, anyway, that the forum "had something'' that perhaps might be taken into the larger field of all hu- man life. The happy are the era- ployed. The happiest are t:hose who find .â- yonie measure of joy in their work â€" something to stimulate the urge that is in most mankind for some sort of achievement of his own. The labor unions, which have done so much for the worker, have th,iughc of so many things â€" how to get him more money, mort* leisure, more se- curity. But in the last analysis what the heart of eveiy honest worker is crying for is a chance to express himself, that his work may not be a (irugery to be escaped, but an en- thusiasm tj be captured. MR.
