Hundreds of visitors called at York Office Equipment's new ltore during the three opening days. So considerable was the number that, while ample staff had been provided for the event, more had to be added. The store is the second one to be opened by the firm, the original one being located in Aurora. On display during the opening was the new “Electra” electric typewriter, a recently designed junior electric which now makes it possible for any business, what- ever its size, to have an electric typewriter. The showing of this machine at Richmond Hill was the first in York County. All visitors to the store during it! “Open House" were given free prize drawing slips.

When I was a child living in Calgary, Alberta, my mother was a member of the Canadian Women’s Press Club and a contemporary of the prominent press women of the day such as Mrs. Murphy, Cora Hind, Nellie Mc- Clung and Miriam Green Ellis, to name a few. She wrote reams about their prowess as writers. but more often about the struggle for women’s suffrage and the fight for the recognition of women as “persons”. This was a crusade headed by Mrs. Murphy until women were granted the right to sit in the Senate as members. Her daughter says that her mother would be shocked and, provoked at the present apathy of women voters, for it was Emily Murphy, supported by a committee of dedi- cated women, who was responsible for women being en- franchised in Alberta. Before I tell you about my delightful experience in meeting Evelyn Murphy at a luncheon in Ottawa, when delegates to the triennial meeting of the Canadian Wo- men’s Press Club were the guests of the Canadian Nat- ional Railways, let me remind you that her mother, Em- ily Murphy, was the first woman magistrate in the Brit. ish Empire. She was also author of “The Black Candle”, an early expose of the drug traffic. As its creator, she chose the now famous psuedonym "Janey Canuck”. She was later made a judge and became a great moulder of character and opinion in western Canada. Her daughter, Evelyn, is a red headed person with the merriest blue eyes and a soft Irish inflection in her voice. She is a big. jolly, middle-aged woman who loves *life and whom everyone who meets her, instinctively ad- mires. Mostly, her friends admit,‘for her attitude to- ward every day living and what she seems to gain in a peaceful and grateful frame of mind from her love of gardening and her hobby of collecting rare antiques. Being a colourful sort of person herself, it is easy to understand why she abhors the decor of “modern” homes. Especially the monotones which are presently so fashionable. "They remind ‘me of oatmeal porridge wall to wall", she remarked. This was during her dis- course about her own home, which I inquired about. She spoke of her treasure trove of old Rockingham china, the Venetian glass horses she picked up in the Flea mar- ket in Paris and of her rare pieces of old silver. But it was when she told me about her Chinese bedroom and the suite of red, gold and black lacquer furniture, that her wonderful sense of humour really shone. It appears there are four pudgy little Chinese women who adorn, the four posts of the huge bed â€" “all of them pregnant,” she said â€" which reveals part of her charm, the ability to poke fun at her spinster self. Y UORUII'IV Hana-u v The Ferguson and Murphy blood that runs in the veins of Evelyn Murphy is a fine heritage. She attrib- utes her delightful sense of humour to the fact that she l‘chose” the right parents. Daughterof the renowned Emily Murphy, nee Ferguson, and Arthur Murphy, 3 reverend gentleman, Evelyn is the only surviving mem- ber of this distinguished western Canadian family. Though the Reverend Arthur Murphy will be re- membered by members of several generations for his wit, loving and understanding nature and great physi- cal stamina, it was Evelyn Murphy’s mother who played a part in moulding Canadian history. She has been im- mortalized in the commemoration of “The Emily Mur- phy Recreation Park” situated on the banks of the Sasâ€" katchewan River, which winds through the City of Edmonton. , W- u - . _ u ' A!I,r,,1,r Though our interview was an hilarious one. I real- ized that this heather-suited, low-heeled individualist, with her precious antique earrings bobbing with every word she said, is a serious and deeply religious thinker. She has been a member of the CWPC for 43 years and her newspaper experience lasted for a quarter of a cen- tury as a staff member of the Edmonton Bulletin. One of her more recent creative efforts is an article on “Say- ing Grace”. She has also had several articles published in Vancouver. When asked to choose a brief excerpt from her mother’s writing to be inscribed on the bronze tablet in the new memorial park at Edmonton, Evelyn Murphy decided on this one: “The west hath no need of an in- terpreter, it only hath need of heralds”. you are COM V DDRO‘I'HY IARKIR aid/z, int/ital Sunday School will be held at the regular hour. of 11 am. on Sunday, October 41:11.
