ELLEN’S DIARY

Jomes’ Assertion Is So True At All Times

Today at Alderlea brought the wopd-sawing.

A iirst~inkling of it appeared at mid-morning when we indoors were busy at the weekend bak- ing. Making an apple pie at the moment, more careful it came to mind in paring the imported fruit we used than when orchard- boughs or cellar-bins were full, thus bearing out James’ asser- tion, we smiled, that “there’s no- thing better than a pinch of cir- cumstance to teach folks the val- ue of things.”

“Ellen” James said at the doorway, “would you do your best to have dinner ready a lit- tle on the early side so we can get a good afternoon at the saw- ing?’

Back of him through the open door was the clean blue of the April sic! and the glory of its sunlight washing the fields. And we thought that whatever fates there be that point farmers’ foot- steps to this or that chore of the farm, they could not have chosen to match ours with a better day for their sawing. Sunny, season- ally warm, the heaps dry — this was an ideal day for itl

Dinner was barely over when in an engaging picture of ab- sorbed youth we saw Gage, who had come by, and Mack. in the yard refiuelling the tractor appar- ently counting off the turns of the gas-pump, so interested they were. Soon then, they and our farmers were away by it a.nd the trailer, to meet Bob and Jamie in the field by the woodlands.

"lif it should happen to turn cold, when we're" away, close the staible-doors” we heard the part- ing reminder as did Jeanie from her doorstep before we waved them away.

Over the baring tields between the whine of the “circular" reach- ed us through the afternoon and we could recognize the various workers there, down to the small ones —- see too the progress of the work of which James spoke

so proudly at supper.

“Yes” he said “we have a nice heap of blocks to show for our af- ternoon, Ellen - a right nice heap. Oh, you know we are well helped now’-’ he commented, his smile indicative of much satis- faction “The young lads are strong and willing — and inter- ested too, and that's what’s en-

couraging. Any help is, you may - '

say useless, unless interested in the job at hand”. . .

As has been hi-s custom .-all down the years, he brought in with him an armful from the first sawing, dry blown sticks in warrant of a bright hearth fire through the months which lie :1- head. He also brought a healthy appetite and a scent of woodsy “dingles and dolls.”

So a satisfying day this has been at Alderlea, as has been too the week drawing now to a close. A pleasant week with everywhere now, in moonlit night or leng- thened day, sunny or beclouded “the touch of AIpril’s fingers visi- ble.”

“Now, everywhere. the touch of Arpril’s fingens

Is visible on trees and hedge and branches.

While grass grows green in places where she lingers, ,

She coaxes violets out with ten- der glances.

She's fond of sudden showers, with sunshine after; And -in the sky the vivid rainbow arches. With wily ways, and warm, per- suasive laughter She brightens up the sombre spruce and larcth-es, Hangs tassels gay on alders by the river, Brings redbud bloom to lavender perfection. - Soon, on the fields, young grain will lift and quiver — Fair April, symbol of the resur- rection!” , Until Monday '— — Diary - Good-night. . . . .

President McGiIIis Is Another Top Executive

The "Who's Who in Business” section of the Toronto Saturday Night has an article by Paul Nowack entitled “Laura Secord’s McGillis". Mr. McGillis, presi- dent of Laura Secord‘s, Candy 5110135 Ltd.. is married to the former Miss Helen Lunam of Camplaelltoii. N ew Brunswick, whose parents the late Dr. Henry Lunam and Mrs. Lunam had many Prince Edward Island friends, among them the late Mr. J. A. McLeod, president of ‘the Bank of Nova Scotia, and Mrs. McLeod.

In student days. Mr. McGillis was one of a group of young peo- ple which included Edith Cham- pion. The latter, a daughter of the late Rev. J. B. Champion,

formerly of Prince Edwarlil Is- ‘

land, had one of the outstanding soprano voices at that time in Canada. She is now teaching in Leamington, Ontario, and is an authority in Canada on German heder. Mr. McGillis’ sister, the former MISS Queenie McGillis, now Mrs. Percival N. Tyrrell, Toronto, had a ‘perfectly beauu- ful contralto_ voice and was the Spld medallist of her year ‘in Smging at the Royal Conserva- €013’, Toronto. tr_R0be1jt McGillis. a senior ma. -iculation student at St. And- filfils p“‘:}t‘? 5911001. planned to deaf}; medicine but 1115 father‘s He wlana e that -_goal too difficult. same fis 3 P111311-at about the sons ttm°* 1“ M- Montgomery's Mr 3Mended ‘the school. is speckl:e(t}il1l\lzsithcareer is one that terémination.

Then he went west and in 1932 depression finally left him job- I°55- T0 quote Paul Nowack:

young hopeful yearning for green- er fields in the east, the two rode across the country in an old Es- sex. In Toronto, McGillis persuad- ed Mr. Hayes, then general-man ager of the Laura Secord, to give him the franchise of the com‘- pany for western Canada. His co- drlver on the trip, Bob Dales, is still a close friend and is now vice-president of the Bank of No- va Scotia.” McGillis’ record in western Canada spoke for itself and from then on his progress was steady until he reached the summit.

They enJoy mus- ic, the theatre, their box at the Royal Winter Fair, the C.N.E. etc and their winterized cottage for weekends in the Caledon Hills d1s- trict. The three McGillis daugh- ters, while sent on trips by their parents abroad and elsewhere, also hold down good jobs. The McGillis family in Toronto live in a modest home in Leaside.

Last year the net profit, after taxes, of the Laura Secord com- pany was $384,000 which set a record. But in spite of all this prosperity the commonsense and wry humour of President McGil- _lis is very much revealed in the following anecdote. Again to quote from Nowack: “McGillis’ Cadillac car, 1955 model, was re- sponsible for a telegram he re- ceived from an old friend in the car business when his appoint- ment was made public. The tele- gram read “New President; need car.” McGills’ studied reply was “Old president; drive old car. Regards —”

It’s been quite a trek from the $18 dollar a week job to that of a high priced executive’s but as Bob McGillis heartwarmingly ex- presses it: “One of the best things about this appointment was hearing from so many old friends."

Beware of Floc Prints

“What’ll they think of next?” That’s what we dry cleaners are constantly asking, whenever

we see the garment mak- ers using a new fabric, or

using an old

fabric in a

both of which

happen pretty

Y 0 u wont . hear in a n y 0

cries of anguish from this cor ner, because if anyone can clean almost any fabric and clean it well, we can. ‘

But even in our shop we often wish that fabrics were not de- signed by people who never have to worry about cleaning Chem. All we can do about these is to warn our customers and other readers, hoping that most neople will either check on their cleanability beTore .bu_y1ng. 01‘ count on only a short term of service from such garments.

For instance, there’s a type of floc printed design that was de- veloped years ago but which has come into wide use only re- cently, in the form of dresses, skirts, blouses, curtains, table runners and doilies, It is made by printing a pattern of glue on a fabric, then blowing short rayon fibers onto the glue. _

Some flock prints will give pretty good wear, but others won’t. And an even smaller pro- portion of them can be cleaned successfully.

To test for wearability, scratch the floc with your thumbnail to see if it comes off easlly. Rub two floc surfaces together and see if any fibers have come off.

Then try creasing the mater- ial in several directions and check for any breaks in the fab- no.

If it passes all these tests, ask the retailer for his assurance that the glue will not dissolve during dry cleaning or launder- ing. '

In short, as the saying goes, before you invest—investigateI
