I would much prefer to sit quietly in a corner and read “Not as a Stranger” by Morton Thompson. I borrowed the book from a friend about three weeks ago and am still trying to wade through it. Probably would have finished _ its closely-written 696 pages before this if the editor hadn’t started to rezad it too. Since then it has heen a battle to see who gets it first. If Clive gets it first, I sit and fume. If I get it first, he pretends interest in the latest Saturday kven- ing Post but is waiting for the moment that I have to drop it and attend to the kids. The kids are probably gettiag frustrated at having to scream some- what louder than usual before their parents realize they are even in the room, and then they only get a short “huh?” It is the story pf a young boy whose only desi- re in life is to become a doctor, how he attains this dream, and his attempt to practice Medicine in his own way. ee It is well-written of course, but no doubt some ofthe intense interest to.a layman is in the descriptions of the ailments that befall the human body. There is no doubt that we have a fascination for the-mysteries con- tained inside us, and a morbid euri- osity in the “spilling of blood”. I must hurry with this. I’ve only ‘got another 130 pages to go, and 1 can’t stand any more late nights sitting up to read it. 1 If the village fathers have a few shekels left over this year, I think it would be a nice idea if they gave some thought to putting in a new stretch of sidewalk from Williams Lake Motors down to the Court House. I rarely walk up that side of the street, preferring to cross over from corner to corner to avoid it. Not only do you risk spraining an ankle on the pitted concrete, but the jarring ride given to children in buggies or: strollers is enough to loosen their back teeth, I’m sure, We complain about the housing shortage here, and we complain| about the high cost of food. But there is always someone worse off. In conversation with our new lino- type operator Gerry Quelle, a Dutch boy from Amsterdam, he told me the housing situation is so severe there that a young couple getting married must put their name on a list and wait for ten years to get a house. In the meantime they live in one room somewhere somehow. ~ The price of meat is so high that he estimated that it would cost an ordinary family of four or five about $40 a week for meat alone if they had it every day. His mother had meat on Sunday; then made 2 rich gravy that lasted for several days. However, fish is cheap and therefore is eaten often. Heard so much about the wonders of foam rubber, that I decided to in- vest in a couple of pillows for our bed when the second-hand ones ‘that I snaffled from my Mother finally fell apart. After three nights of vainly. try- ing to get comfortable the editor gave it up and went back to his old lumpy feather pillow. He just could not get that rubber to tuck under his chin, it has a way of popping right out again. And he felt that every time he moved his head, it bounced around “boing boing” like a rubber ball. I am still vainly persevering how- ever. I’m going to like them if it kills me or gives me a permanent erick in the-neck - after the gocd money that I paid for them. The main objection I have is that I cannot fold my pillow” like the WILLIAMSLAKE Dry CLEANERS feather ones to make a small round mound at the head of the bed. I care- fully fold it in half and then jam it between the top of the bedclothes and the headboard. Ten minutes later I walk into the room and it has bounced back up to ruin the appear- ance of my carefully-made bed. A pox on foam-rubber pillows! From Williams Lake To The Riviera A.W.'s Experience Metz, France, 22 July. — As far as four airwomen stationed at Can- adian Air Division Headquariers are concerned, Cafe Society can have the plush, better-known spots in Nice and Cannes. ‘The sun-is- as warm and the /Meditterranean as blue at Riviera locations where prices are more in keeping with air force incomes,” the girls state em- phatieally: = With Leading Airwomen M: (Jamie) James of LaPleche, Sa: . dri the girls travelled down through “Frarice and along the southern coast stopping where fancy dictated at the quieter beaches and hotels almost hidden among the lush, tropical foliage. And hotel rates, including meals, never topped ten dollars a day. “The best holiday we ever had,” agreed Cpl. Edith Huffman, of Kear- ny, Ont., and Leading Airwomen Beatrice Beauclair, of Williams Lake, B. C., and Coleen Daniels, of Fort William, Ont. Since the temperature stayed around ninety degrees, ithe girls drove in the evenings when it was cooler. When they found a hotel to to their taste they would rez n overnight and make for the beach first thing the next morning. They had to be there “first thing” ae space on the smooth, white sand waa at a premium from 7:30 a.m. until early afternoon. F. ng. They also admitted being ioe Engagement Mr. and Mrs. John W.
