collects Earrings By The Dozen

CALGARY. (CP)- Women everywhere like to collect tillage- recipes. antiques and possibly hus- bands. Mrs. B. R. Farquharson of Calgary collects ear-rings-tlhe big- ger tine better.

A arplst in the Calgary sym- phony Orchestra and preakdent of Ulm symphony board. Mrs. Far- quhanson has been collecting ear- nings since she was 17 and now has more than 50 pairs. llf they aren't big enough to be impressive she -remodels them to meet her style specifications.

Mrs, Fnrqulhamon does the de- Sllmlnz-'. But it's her husband who does all the work.

Working with tweezers, pliers and magnifying glass. he follows her directions and the result. is something to startle the pcsserby.

"I bought my first pair of ear- rings when I was a student at the Bran-tford. Ont... Conservatory of Music." Mrs. Farquharson said.

"They were tiny pearls and I had to wear them discreetly. with my hair pulled down over my ears. because nice girls just didnt weer ear-rings in these days."

Taken on Trips K

Whan 5118 Ross on a trip the ear- rings have a special box and every pair goes with her.

Included in her collection is a pair of Maltese crosses from her

mother. However. these aren't worn since Mrs. Farquzharoon hasn't had her ears pierced and

the cranes go with pierced ear iobcs.

Also in the cal-lection is a pair of lot "chandeliers" from France. ctlhers with hand-painted china medallions with matching pendant and some fashioned in more tra- ditional styles and studded with stones. Theze are classed as an- tiques.

Then there are the concoctions or " junk" as Mrs. Fsrqtrharson prefers to call her more unusual ear-rings.

There are huge gold loops, four- in-one rhinestone and pearl affairs which d-angle in a length of four inches. four-inch red hoops and huge plastic flowers. .

When Mother Megapode starts to raise a family. she burles her eggs in a mound of decaying veget-

ion.

The mound acts as an incubator. and with her nesting chores taken care of. the mother bird is free to go where she will.

Soon as the chicks are hatched by the heat of the decaying leaves and stalks. they scratch themselves out and start. foraging in the South Pacific jungle. They need no p ntal care.

All woodchoppers have big appe- tites. but the ivory-billed wood- pecker takes the cake when it comes to putting away wood grubs, which he digs from under the bark of dead trees. A pair work- ing together to feed a family, can strip the bark off all the dead trees in the neighborhood in aslngle season. To keep the family larder supplied, the ivory-bill has to keep pecking away. If he runs out of dead trees he parishes - as he has already in deforested areas.

Kinsmen Flood Relief Over 510,090 I

Contributions from Kinsmen and Kinette Clubs acrou Canada are continuing to pour in to the Na- tional Klnsmen European Flood Relief Fund it was announced here last night by National President ,A. Walthen Gaudet, with total cash receipts to date amounting to 310,732.57.

Five thousand dollars of this sum has already been ' forwarded to England for immediate use in the disaster areas there. .

Because of the fact. that the Kinsmen are sending over the act- ual money to the disaster areas rather than goods. contributions to thdir fund are not tax deductable. This has had the effect. MI. Gau- det pointed out. of limiting the contributions for flood relief by Kinsmen Clubs, and many of the Kinsmen Clubs have found it necessary to channel the proceeds of special Flood Relief Funds Raising Projects through the Ca- nadian National Fund so that the

contributors may receive tax re- ceipis. For instance, a ivire received

last night announced that the Sas- katoon Kinsmen Club in their operation ”Porch Light" held on Tuesday night raised 512,000.00 for the Canadian National Euro- pean Flood Relief Fund,

Clubs frcm B. C. to Newfound- land are assisting in this grand cause as witness the s:7co.oo con- tribution reccived by D. L. (Ikel Sinclair heic. National Trustee of the Kinsmen Flood Fund. from the Saint John Club on Tuesday.

All told the National Kinsmen Officers here are most delighted with the splendid response being received from the Kinsmen Clubs across Canada in this latest. Kin 'project.

Lenten Meditation

From The Columns of The Times, London

coxsncnsrrorf

The ancient ceremonial of can- dlemas was designed to exhibit the illumination of mankind by the true light that lighteth every man. coming into the world at the Na- tlvlty.

And although in long medieval usage the day was appropriated to Our Lady, it was originally an ex- tension or liturgical recapltulation of the major festival of Christmas -a feast of the child rather than of the Mlother. This is the note of the services for the day. in which references to the Blessed Virgin are in fact only consequential. It is the festival of the growing life - that life which is the light of men.

Such a celebration. relevant in all ages, has an urgent mesage for this present time. It affirms the sanctification of human nature by the act of God through the Incar- nation.

The cruicai question which re- mains unanswered, but will be ans- wered during the next half-cen- iury. concerns more than balances of power or even the fate of west- ern civilization. It concerns the survival of man himself as a spir- itual being.

The tendencies of the age are all against this. The trend of a highly mechanized society seems to be in- evltably to dehumanizc; men be- come conformed to their own ma- chines. and personal qualities ccert for less and less. The grow- lr", tyranny of the mass-mind, of r”..ich there are signs even in this country. and the omnipresent acti- vity of the State reduce men to statistical units.

In its modern form the myth of the revolution tends to discard all the religious arche-types by which Christian men has been sustained. and regards men and wom” not as persons with lives of their own to live and souls to save. but as in- struments of a process or a policy. It recognizes no inner life and treats human dignity with con- tempt.

l The Lsmbeth Conference did not say too much when it gave warn- ing that there might emerge "a new and sinister type of human beingalwcr. ruthless. cruel. and.

1n'eapon.s1b1e." It is l - recent history that l:IllIe1ClII8161t1):n9lt latlonshlp to God is yen out. he u dIl;T1:goi:g;tsub-hubman status. D0861 e contrast. tc all this is that Christian valuation of men and women to which this festival bears symbolic wan,” thTho Presentation of Christ '-1

' Temple was the consecration of his life to God. Every Jewish first-born male was thus present. 5:. anduhe "who was born under

e law , was submitted then, .5 When It grown man he submitted himself. to all devout customs.

But. its special significance for Christians is that he was himself the only begotten son whose whole ILII3 on earth was a dedication in Ullwavennz loyalty to his Father! WIII. Thus through the variour Stages of human experience he grew to complete spiritual stature In that filial relationship to God he fulfilled the law of his being as a. perfect man. He who has reveal- ed God to man has thereby also revealed man to himself.

I-lcrc can be seen what man real- ly is: this is the truth about that human nature which Christ has honoured and sanctified by shar- ing in it. In Christ all humanity is ennobled. Here is the vindication of the claim that man is created in the image of God. This is the basis of all Christian humanism and the one sure guarantee of per- sonallty.
