Strange But True

3yl'.B.MncArthnr

'1-no dullest child can ask more questions in five minutes than the wisest person can answer in a lifetime-

Do you know that four of the neighborliest towns in the world lie right at our back door. These lawns are St. Stephen and Mill- town in New Brunswick and Calais and Milltown in the state Of‘ Maine. Four towns. two of .-ach in a different country. and eeparilied only by the Internation- :1] Boundary line between Johnny Canuck and Uncle Sam. a bound- “). line that is spanned by the 1,,-jriges over the St. Croix river.

And just to prove that the cit- ,,-m; of these towns carry out me good neighbor policy to a point mat should make other neighbor- mg small towns want to emulate their example may I inform my Waders of the unusual fact that W», water supply of Calais and .\lliii0Wl"| in Maine. and of Mill- xnwn in New Brunswick. comes _.-..1cly from the Canadian town of sq. Stephen. while the gas used by the people of St. Stephen is ,.}ped from Calais on Uncle Sam's ..:rie of the river. What's more. all four towns get their‘ electric pone!‘ from Milltown in New Brunswick.

And that isn't all. for the fire ‘h.})al‘lI'I'I€l'liS of Calais and St.

5lP|)h€l'i work‘ together. in ‘ the ...-cnt of a big blaze in either mun. and strange but true. the

same spirit of cooperation is in rlicci. between the towns of Mill- in\\'l'l in New Brunswick. and Mill- mwn across the border. And now \‘.P. come to the most amazing part ml this unique setup of 4 border I-I\\'l'lSI one of Uncle Sam's daugh- Inrs could give birth to a baby in L'anada and the child would still he an American citizen. for one lmpiial in St. Stephen serves the four towns. All an expectant mother has to do when crossing ihn border is to notify the emigra- lion officials that she is going in the St. Stephen hospital to give hirth to her babY- 11 Sh? neﬂkcls :n stain her case specifically the ,,,.u- baby will ‘be. Canadian born.

The Canadian towns join in rclcbrating the 4th of July and the American towns celebrate l)i\lllIl'll0T‘| day.

Many cross the bridges each day 1.. work in another country. What one town lacks’. its neighbor a- mass the border provides. So, you tar‘, these four towns know the Ira] meaning of the word “neigh- lmrs." For this most interesting data I am indebted to a resident or Summerside, who. incidentally. informs me that he has been a subscriber to The Guardian for 50 \'(‘-'ll'5.

‘ Of all musical instruments the vmhn is most enduring. Pianos \u-ﬁr out; wind instruments net battered and old-fashioned. All kinds of novelties are introduced into ﬂutes. but the sturdy fiddle stands on its own merits. Age and use only improve it, and in- stead of new ones bringing the top prices as in the case of other (um-uments. it is the old violins that command t_he_fal.Julous prices.

The fruit of man‘: labor is often snatched away by the hand of fate when it is just dropping. ripened inln their mouths. Other men came into the world hopelessly destitute of the “knack" for set-

tfag ahead at anything. no tug. or who thinks he is making a good bargain when others know that it is a bad one; the achool teacher who does not know how to win the confidence, or inspire the enthusiasm: of his pupil; the minister whose “waya" antagon. ize the congregation when he takes the most pains to win their good-will, such persons are found everywhere. They do the best they know how. but they don't succeed. And since it is an ex- perience that is common to so many. we must conclude that the yoke of poverty and defeat is often better for us than any worldly success could be. Blessed are they who pile up riches and sit on lofty thrones. or achieve world fame. did not find a place in the Beatitudes — does not. in fact sound much like them. ‘o a 0

Here‘: an old superstition hav- ing to do with the human eyes. Very quiet eyes, that impress and embarrass one with their deep repose. signify self-command. but also great complacency and con- ceit. Eyes that shift about con- stantly while their possessor speaks denote a deceitful. disign- ing mind. Eyes in which the white has a yellowish tinge and is streaked with reddish veins de- note strong passions. Very blue eyes indicate a mind inclined to coquetry; gray eyes signify in- telligence; greenish. falsehood and a liking for scandal: Black eyes, a passionate. lively temperament; and brown. a kind. hapm’ dis- position.

It is common for elephants in their native state to break branch- es from trees with their trunks and then use the branches too shoo off flies.

What is sheer madness to one mind is science to another. After all is said and done we can't get away from the hard. cold facts that there lurks in some secret corner of almost all of us some impossible superstition —- an ex- cess of faith over knowledge. a love of tradition rather than fact. Most of us own to some little thread of what might be called madness. But fortunately all the people who air different views from us are not considered ripe candidates for a mental institution: nor are those who believe in the international wickedness of gov- ernments; nor those who see ev- erywhere the ending of the world; nor those who hold that they are better than their fellow man. Yet when such differences are dis- cussed by those who are not in the same train of thought. the other fellows talk seems to be the veriest moonshine.

There are many other spheres of activity in Leadership train- ing. Adult Extension work. Handi- craft Van Services. Broadcasts. Junior Activities. etc.

High praise should be extended to all those who participate in this worthwhile work. Encourage- ment should be extended in all areas where groups are not or- ganized.

The following is a brief outline of some of the activities which will take place in the immediate

future. Junior Work

. I should like to bring to your attention some of the- Provincial Institutes plans for junior and senior summer activities. At the present time we are busy visit- ing each of the 85 sewing clubs in the province, the purpose of these visit: is to assist and en- courage the girls in the completion of their work and to arrange dates for Achievement Days — some- time during May or June when the completed work will be judged and awards made. We would urge all sewing club leaders and mem- bers to have all their work com- pleted and ready for judging in good time.

At this time of year most folks are thinking and planning for gar- dens. We have received inquiries from ~t\velve different centres who are interested in organizing Gar- den Clubs this spring. Seeds have been ordered and the Women's Institute Branch in co-operation with Extension Workers in the De- partment of Agriculture are hop- ing for the successful completion of the Garden Club Project in 1954.

Dram: Festival

The last week in May we will

plans are made for play offs and adjudication in rural areas. We are asking Institute members to support the efforts of the Drama Association in promoting better plays in our Province. Prof. Shaw of the University of New Brunswick will adjudicate the finals this year. Your attendance at these plays will help provide a broader program for next year.

And a special reminder to In- stitute. Has your group joined the Musical Festival Association or the Drama Association this year‘?
