It is always a source of amazement
to me that J am involved in so many
organizations here. In New West-

minster, the only group-J belonged

to was a lodge which was more-or-
less of a family affair. With both my

and father

mother being life-long

members, it was a foregone conclu-
sion that I should become involved
in nigh potentates and secret pass-
words too. S

Iam not counting the South Burn-

aby United Church sewing club whicn

was disbanded many years ago. Far

from being an organization, it was

ni

an excuse for a cozy little chitehat

among a group of girls every two
weeks. We made an effort every year
of course, and staged a bazaar and
even managed to raise enough money
to buy some paint or a new chair for
the manse. But mainly we had a nice
little sociable evening discussing the
weather, our neighbors, fashions
and men; and anything more serious
was promptly squashed.

We had only been hére a tew
weeks when I was asked to join both
the Legion Auxiliary and the Hos-
pital Aux! ry. This threw me into
somewhat of a tizzy. Being extreme-
ly busy trying to sort myself out in
the newspaper business and do a bit
of housework on the sidé, I felt I
had little time for organizations. But
the editor soon straightened me out,
and pointed out that attending meet-
ings was:part of the newspaper bust:
ness.

I didn’t realize either at that time
just how many organizations there
were in Williams Lake, and how in-
evitable it ¥ that I should become
involved in some of them.

The Hospital Aw ‘y and I just
don’t seem to have hit it off. I re-
alized when I first joined that it
would be difficult to attend their
Thursday afternoon meetings as
that was our publishing day. And so
it turned out that instead of sipping
iea, I was folding papers-and getting
ink-smeared. I believe I attended one
meeting that first year, then. grace-
fully dropped from the roll call.

Since Blaine’s advent and my semi-
retirement .to the apartment up-
s, my Thursday afternoons in-
volve nothing more pressing than go-
ing shopping — so I joined the Hos
pital Auxiliary again Jast

the line I became a member. Ninety
nine per cent of the members are
teachers or mothers with school ehil-
dren and the other 1% is me. And
somewhere along the line I made the
mistake of volunteering for a nomin-
ating committee. It sounded like an
easy job, but it has one drawhack.
If you have difficulty filling the po-
sitions, somehow or other the nomin-
ing committee gets left with them.

in this fleld is practically nil and I am
liable to come away convinced that
it is the only platform worth while

It is inevitable that I have acquir-

over the years in attending meetings.
I no longer slink into the room and
slide into a back seat. I no longer
break out in a cold sweat at the
