Stevens now in London so admired its Charm of the 1880 s he would have it preserved for future generations. I Admire the building s architecturally artistically politically and historically. There s the Council chamber. To me it bears a curious resemblance on a much smaller scale of course to the legislative chamber of famed Independence Hall in Philadelphia where our american friends in 1776, signed their declaration of go As you please. That was the old colonial Legislatures Home before . J. G.

That a cow gives milk that a Len lays skinned ones and that a dog makes a funny noise and runs after the big they Are the older babies at the infants Home St. Norbert the ones Between 3 and 5 years old. It s quite an Honor to be considered one of the big ones to be Able to Point out the letters on the posters in he kindergarten and Tell visitors that g stands for gun. Three year old Angela clasped her hands As in supplication while her Sharp dark Brown eyes sparkled mischievously. Her Mother was born in indo China and has to work. But Little Angela finds plenty to keep her wee person Busy at he infants Home. Was the rather non committal reply from rugged Robert when asked if he liked it in the Home. He has Only been there for about a month because his Mother is sick and there is no one to keep him at Home. Standing upon one of the Long narrow benches in the kindergarten room another three year old Jean Nette recited a Welcome piece to her visitors. A Circle of rocking chairs occupied by girls from 20 months to three years old stopped their steady rocking suddenly when sister Matilda and visitors appeared in the doorway. All stopped but wherein sat Little Betty. While her companions eyed the invaders up and Down Betty continued rocking and singing to the rhythm do do Dada. Next door boys of the same age played in a room where the Only furnishings was a Long Bench against one Pale Blue Board Wall. Little red head in the red Jersey suite was Charlie. The wee Chap with blonde curls and the continual smile was Joseph Edward whose Mother has to work. In a game of catch with the Ball so often called my Young Herbert showed his visitors he was no panty Waist. There is no rolling of balls for him. He puts Over a Nice overhand pass. Maybe he s planning to try out for the Blue bombers when he grows up. There have been no contagious diseases for a three year period she stated. Children Are vaccinated twice a year Lor colds and at six months old for diphtheria and smallpox. Established in 1904, the infants Home at St. Norbert has Given Many a child a better Start in life than he or she might otherwise have had. When five years old the boys move to St. Joseph s vocational school and the girls to St. Agnes priory both affiliated with the Winnipeg Community Chest. A Grant of annually from the Federated budget enables the infants Home to carry on its work. Do your bit this year. Deny yourself not them. Perhaps it s Only the Well proportioned Square form of our Council chamber that recalls its ancient prototype or its White upper Walls and columns or the Oil paintings of our Kings and Queens As Independence Hall has the Oil paintings of its ancient colonial governors still Hung around its Walls. But our City Hall has Public galleries surrounding the chamber on All four sides Independence Hall has none. Our citizens can sit Chew gum and remark on what makes aldermen so funny. They did t go in for that business of the mugs criticizing their betters in american colonial Days they were Lucky to be allowed to walk past on the sidewalk. I often wonder Why citizens pay so Little attention to their civic governments on this continent. City affairs touch them at a Hundred Points where provincial governments touch them at ten and a lec teral government at Only and War. Even in War City governments Shine. The Only great National hero developed by the present War was stubborn Little civilian mayor Starzynski of Warsaw. Deserted by the aristocracy with the Federal government departed and even the great army generals fled the Stout Little Warsaw mayor organized the defence of his City and fought the germans to a standstill till the whole loved City fell in ruins about him and his devoted burghers. I be no doubt at All that if Canada were invaded every one of our City governments would put up the same kind of Savage desperate fight for their Homes. What s left after your Home and City s gone the Oil paintings of Winnipeg s Long line of mayors from the first executive mayor f. E.

We need bairns father just As we need also Louis Raemaekers who interprets the War in his drawings with All the scorch ing eloquence of a Dante. Bairns father tickles where Rae makers stabs. All right that s enough editorial izing. Besides i was poking around Hyde Park this afternoon. So were tens of thousands of other people. I found it an embarrassing experience. There come times and this afternoon was one of them when about it Wise. It s free speech i m talking about and not one of us would have it any thing else but free. Supposing you had been along with you bad heard a score and More speak ers declaiming in the Vicinity of the Marble Arch perhaps you would have been embarrassed too. Sense and nonsense what i mean is this As you Saun Ter around in Hyde Park hearing first one speaker then another and you occasionally do hear some uncommon Good sense in the process As Well As utter nonsense the net effect after an hour or so is completely fantastical. You begin to feel like Alice in wonderland or if not like Alice certainly like the mad Hatter unless you really do prefer being the dormouse. First of All let s take the Chap preaching take him or leave him. He looked like a prime minister. He really was a distinguished looking fellow. He was so Busy trying to explain away god that he made me think about god. He seemed to think the Only vicar s Church dressed in rags would he be welcomed the vicar s brow puckered slightly and he looked about to say really old ignorance is Bliss quilts Don t know War started or.

Have settled Down to routine of married life 3row explains their not the result of love at firs know there is a War on. Why should we Tell them about War " countered the doctor with a studied simplicity which disarmed questioners who up until that moment apparently presumed the Dionne quintuplets were Well versed in foreign affairs. The War does t seem to us to have any bearing on the immediate problem of bringing up these five Little girls. No doubt if it goes on another two or three years they will learn about it. But not now is any one of the quilts Back Ward i mean what we Call dumb in asked a reporter. The doctor said he did t think so his girls were five Normal and healthy girls not Bright and not dumb because we Don t want to bring them up to be smart Alecks. Are they jealous of each other l Sun i love Ai hrs but the result of three years asked a lady reporter. Of courtship. Woodrow was born near and her second husband tear ago. Woodrow born Sears Woodstock. Met her three sen an80 when he came to dres i i aiding in Regina. His wife died in Regina in 1931. Reminded her the doctor had said the Dionne girls were Normal. The reporters Learned the Money of the quilts estate is invested in Dominion of Canada and province of Ontario Bonds and if War loan Are floated they la Likely get of those too. Escaping steam kills four babies two others saved Amboy k.j., oct. 24. A escaping steam released when a Radiator valve blew out killed four infants yesterday in a Nursery o Perth Amboy general Hospital. Two others carried with the res from the delivery room of the maternity Ward were revived by four physicians and two internet who worked More than two hours in an attempt to restore life in the six tiny bodies. Officials said the deaths were due to asphyxiation by steam. Acting police chief Frank Sei both said the steam which asphyxiated the infants escaped from a Radiator been repaired with adhesive tape. Possible Conception of god could be of a venerable creature with a Long White Beard defying the Laws of Gravity somewhere up among the barrage balloons. He seemed to think it wrong to believe in god because there is a lot of suffering in the world and the Laws of the Jungle Are too often applied by Man As Well As by the insects. So what next i listened to a woman who was trying to make people believe in god. I decided that i had More Faith in the creator when i listened to the atheist Man than when i listened to her. She was an extremely Dull speaker. God truly does move in a mysterious Way his wonders to perform i came upon a quaint old Cove on a step ladder bearing the proc Lama Ion new and latter House he looked oddly like George Bernard Shaw in other words like a vegetarian dramatist and from his step ladder he was Laving a confidential conversation with an audience of one. They did t seem to agree with one another. Next door a Beefy Good natured woman preached hell and damnation religion. She had a resounding voice vast Good humor and laughed when telling of the torments of hell. She was herself saved she admitted coyly and wanted her fellow men to enjoy the same reassuring status. In the midst of her Spiel a detach ment of soldiers wearing Gas masks marched past. It must have been the army s Way of doing a Little Chap you might come with a clean shirt if you happen to have but instead he said a bit earnestly that the Man in rags would be welcomed just As cordially As an Earl who arrived in a Rolls Royce. At that moment it was just a coincidence of course the vicar s glance and my own happened to meet and i tried hard not to smile but did t succeed because 1 saw As Plain As Day in his eyes the thought that he would be Jolly Well glad when he got Home and had his afternoon Tea. But Al credit to the vicar after All there was nothing to compel him to preach at the Marble Arch except a sense of duty. He looked a though he played a Good game of Cricket. May the Day come when he is archbishop of Canterbury or perhaps he is deserving better Fate the salvation army was at the Marble Arch and doing very Well thank you and so were Many other exponents of sundry creeds Anc isms although i regret to note the absence of mormons. As for political meetings ther were All kinds of them extending far into the Park. Lots of fun of course a big Irish Meetin there were the usual communist and socialist meetings the latter of to be confused with the inde pendent labor party. The communist speaker Young Fel of looking like an East Indian poke from a stand which flew a Lammer and sickle red Flag. Both speakers spoke of the imperialism sic of Britain and France. Re calling propaganda i saw in Ber was going on. There always is the Irish meetings invariably a lots of fun. This time they wer Irish republicans who it seem Don t spend All their time bomb ing English railway stations. Wonder How Many Winnipeg citizens know that in its first elections citizens did not have the secret ballot democracy s chief safeguard. Hard won for us now lightly regarded. We live today under the most free democratic government on Earth. How Many appreciate take the trouble to vote let alone work in civic elections our City Hall of today was built in 1886 on the site of the first building erected in 1875. The Box of historical relics placed in the Cornerstone of the first building was replaced in the Cornerstone of this one without additions. It contains a grim reminder of our scourges Early Mani to bans put in that Cornerstone Grasshoppers in bottles of spirits also damaged Heads of wheat to show our latest ordeal was not new. Other things the Box contains copies the free press of july 7, 1874 a one Pound Hudson s Bay company note of 1858 a five shilling British note a merchants Bank Bill a prussian 5-Kreutzer Crown a russian the latter coins brought in by mennonite settlers and of course photographs of the then mayor and Council. Let this tempt no one to chisel into the Cornerstone for the Money they la have to wait until that new City Hall Winnipeg planned in the Gay period of the paid for the started. I believe that will be some Little time yet. In their yammering wonder what country made me i was in after All. Seems to me communists and nazis talk in the same Ingo nowadays. By this time i had great yen for peace and quiet but paused on the Fly at a fathering addressed a a be whiskered gentleman with a lost cause. An sex civil servant for the past 30 years so a Banner proclaimed he has been airing his grievances against the British government a dedicated Martyr if there Ever was one life would lose meaning for him without his grievance. So the kindest thought we May wish him is three decades longer of speech making in the Park. And now i was seeking the speechless reaches of the Park. The assembled thousands dwindled in Trie distance and the Only voices to be heard now were the voices of the Trees in the Breeze. I rested my hands against a Broad birthed Oak tree in fact Felt like embracing it for the peace dignity and nobility its Leafy presence conveyed. I had heard enough of the voices of humanity for one after noon and thanked god for the voices of the Forest.
