There are story tellers who say that when they 'gaze at such heirlooms long enough their imagination is so aroused that they can envision the lives of -previous own- ers and concoct plots therefrom. ‘Collection’ is really a fascinating hobby. \ » Some folks go in for the collection of antique furni- ture, such as tables, chairs and desks that graced the homes of a bygone age. Therg have been old pieces of furniture which one’s grandparents never valued highly that have been so improved as to bring rather fancy prices. Then, too, many persons cherish things like wedding dresses, wedding rings, jewelry, old fashioned watches etc. Collection of pitchers, the hobby of Mrs. John Gillies, described in these columns a week ago suggests the de- lightful pastime of many Richmond Hill folks who gather things together and by dint of perseverance become the proud possessors of varied groups of articles. If Miss Thompson would read up on the subject, she would learn that the same thing applies to all British do- ;minions. Canada, Australia and the other dominions are also ‘totally’ independent. They make their own laws, levy their own taxes, control their own military forces, negoti- ate their own treaties, even make their own declarations of war or stay neutral, as they may please, and any of these dominions could walk out of the commonwealth toâ€" morrow, if they so desired. “Though the two states are called ‘dominions’, the transference of power from Great Britain is total.” writes Dorothy. “N0 British rights are reserved. Both Indian statw may withdraw from the Commonwealth or one may stay and the other may withdraw.” Dorothy Thompson, United States news commentator, whose articles are published in a Toronto paper, evidenced a limitation of knowledge in going afield of American sub- jects to discuss the new Dominion status of the states of He, and, indeed, every thinking person who visited the ONE must have recognized how almost unlimited are our demands and the demands of our neighbors for homes. furniture, equipment, personal requirements etc. Human wants and desires increase as incomes increase. Folks want things that years ago they never expected they could have, such as machinery for the. farm andlabor saving equipment for the home. About the only limit to human demands appears to be the ability of the people to spend money. So long as folks continue to earn, workshops and factories will be kept busy producing the things they want. and as demands increase; manufacturing facilities for producing the things wantedwill be increased. Vie'kving theI picture from every angle, there seems no ground to fear any SEI‘IOUS- or-prolonged Industrlal de- pression. The fact is our outlook has changed with respect to many things, including good will trips and their value. and it has been the farm youths of the present generation who have brought about the change, although there are still old timers who give credit to youth grudgingly and only when they can’t help it. Junior farmer organizations and activities are responsible for the new vision we have today of agriculture as one of our foremost industries. Such organizations have happily destroyed the notion that there is no future for the farmer’s son or daughter save in the office, store or factory of the neighboring city. A Richmond Hill resident who visited the Canadian National Exhibition carried away with him a vivid impres- sion of the countless opportunities now before Canadians. To him the Exhibition provided outstanding evidence that there is and can be in the years to come employment for everyone. Although we are situated only a few miles from the metropolis of Toronto, many Richmond Hill district resi- dents can recall how fifty, or even twenty-five or ten years ago a lecture tour such as that just completed by Miss Orphie Orr of Vaughan township thr'ough West Virginia and neighboring states would have been considered alto- gether iinpossible. We knew little if anything about our cousins in West Virginia 01” any other district of the United States, and they knew nothing about us, our methods of farming or our home and farm ideals. We would have been prepared. all of us, to acknowledge that we would benefit and the Americans would benefit from an interchange of know- ledge, but a proposal that a good-will trip be made by one of us to points so distant was unthinkable. True, we didn't have the speedy and comfortable methods of transportaâ€" tion we.ha\;e today, but what we had would have carried us down to Virginia if there had been the urge to go.

ERNIE DURIE Richmond HilI About Christmas, I wrote you a letter and sent photos of my child- ren. I do not know whether you re- ceived them? I do my best to an- swer you each letter with the help of my friend who translates my let- ters into English and it is a great pleasure for me to hear from you, my dear sister, whom I include in my prayers of thanks, though I do not know you personally and ask Him to bless your life.” My two elder daughters already go to school and learn diligently. They have grown a great deal in winter, as well as the smaller ones. I am so glad to be able to clothe them in decent and pretty clothes which I mostly owe to you, and the dear Mrs. M. T. Monts. Now we received a parcel in which there were two pairs of children’s shoes, two sailor dresses, two ladies’ dresses, four pair of new stockings, knitted jack- ets and warm underwear, and a suit for children. I thank you very grate- fully for each article. It is a great benefit for my children and sets me free from many cares. May the Lord bless you for all your loving kindness. Mrs. Remete lost her husband and was left with four tiny children when he died as a result of treatment in a concentration camp. We remember the peaceful and lovely old home with a loving heartJ where the children have passed a few merry and careless years with their father and at such occasions I comfort myself with the hope that a home still more beautiful than the lost one awaits us at our Heavenly Father, where we can meet our dc- ceased dear one. If the Lord would not nourish our faith now, perhaps we would not be able to Pear so much sorrow, but God, the Comforter of the lowly ones, gives us consolation. Both my children and myself are well and have passed the winter well. apart from smaller diseases which have passed quickly. We had clothing and food, and what is more,’ a warm home, which only few people of Budapest could tell of themselves. There is great poverty here. The strong men who are able to work have either perished, or are still in captivity, and there are many sick and crippled. The crop is carried away for reparation, and the politi- cal parties quarrel with each other. In Hungary, almost everybody has suffered severe losses and damages in consequence of war, but we, who have lost the head of the family and our home at the same time, have suffered especially great want. I was unable to provide for my child- ren from my own strength, there- fore I took them to an orphanage where I undertook to work as house- wife, in order to be together with my children. Thus the care for food has ceased for us and we have a modest but sufficient maintenance. Acknowledging Christmas greet- ings, Mrs. Laszlo Remete of Budaâ€" pest writes Mrs. G. Marritt of Rich- mond Hill as follows: “I received your letter which you wrote for Christmas and the beauti- ful picture card with the Bible verses. It was such a comfort to know that you remembered us with love and I gave thanks to God that He has given us such dear friends through Christ Jesus.
