Home is the place of rest and peace'to which we return after the busy and tiring duties of the day. The refuge we seek when ill or worn, disappointed or sorrowful, know- ing full well that We shall find mimstering hands, loving hearts and unfailing understand- ing to meet our needs. Our character, principles, Christian hearts and religious beliefs have their origin in the home. The spirit of the home reaches out to the community, to the country and to the world. It means caring for the sick, poor, aged and sufiering. Sharing as practised in the home becomes a part of our nature and as Christians we feel it our duty to share with other countries, with citizens of our own land when affliction and disaster strike. Just as long as we have happy and whole- some Christian homes we shall have strong and enduring nations and with God’s help will find world peace.

Thompson REETINGS AND a warm welcome were G extended by the Provincial President, Mrs. James Haggerty, to the members attending the Seventh Annual Women’s Inâ€" stitute Holiday at the Kemptville Agricultural School, August 6, 7 and 8. Miss Ruth Rorke, Director of the Home Economics Department, and the School’s hostess, welcomed the mem- bers to K.A.S. and gave a summary of the facilities available to students and others at the School. A visit to the Home Economics Department was enjoyed at the close of the first afternoon‘s programme. A Radio Soap Opera scheduled for this programme proved to be a good “ice-breaker” as several members found themselves quite unexpectedly “on the air.’ The Get Acquainted Party, on the first evening, brought out a good deal of talent. Most of the members made a contribution, either by singing, reciting or telling a good story. One member had a box containing slips of paper on each of which was written a sug- gestion for a one minute talk. Members were invited to take a slip and do their best with the topic suggested. This proved very popular as the topiCS were varied and some were quite humorous. A “Good Good Morning” under the direction of Mrs. Haggerty got each morn- ing of the holiday away to a good start, Her addresses were timely and much enjoyed while the singing of hymns well known and 24 “common to us all" set the pace happy days. .
