JUNE IS BUSTIN’ OUT ALL OVER Again it was raining, but inside the War Memorial Hall June was having its day with Mrs. M. R. G. Marshall, A.T.C.M. of Fergus introducing the girls to this happy song. Miss Foster was at the piano and the girls with the urging of Mrs. Marshall were trying to decide if they were sopranos or altos and were de- lighted to produce some very sweet sounds when they managed to open their mouths wide enough and to breathe preperly. * 'k * Dr. Chapman com. “Answer â€" Young people should do a lot of double dating and in this way get to know each other without the tension of being alone together. Girls should let boys know where they stand regarding sex. No parked cars. Girls and boys should take their friends to their homes and involve each other in family activities.” The name of Dr. Ethel Chapman may not have been very well known to some of the girls before they attended the Girl‘s Conference, but the girls left Guelph University with some long. long thoughts on the things that Dr. Chapman told them, and a reverent admiraâ€" tion for the woman who understood so well the problems they were facing in their every- day lives. Dr. James Moffatt's Translation of Paul’s First Epistle to the Corinthians, Chapter XIII. "Love is very patient, very kind. Love knows no iealousy, Love makes no parade, Gives itself no airs, Is never rude, never selfish, never irritated, never resentful. Love is gladdened by goodness Always slow to expose, Always eager to believe the best, Always helpful, always patient. Love never disappears." â€"Quoted by Dr. Ethel Chapman at the Girls' Conference 1968 20 AN IDYLL OF THE FARM There's joy in every sphere of life from cottage unto throne, But the sweetest smiles of nature beam upon the farm alone; And in memory I go back to the days of long age, When the teamster shouted, “Haw, Buck!" "Gee!" “G'langl” and "Whoa!" I see out in the logging-field the heroes of cu; land, With strong and sturdy faces, each with hand-spike in his hand; With shoulders strong as Hercules, they feared no giant foe, As the teamster shouted "Haw, Buck!" "Gee!" "G'lang!" and "Whoa!" The logging-bees are over, and the woodlands all are cleared, The face that then was young and fair is silver'd o'er with beard; The hand-spike now holds not the place it did long years ago, \Vhen tl'te teamster shouted, "Haw, Buck!" "Gee!" "G'lang!" and "Whoa!" On meadow land and orchard field there rests a glory 'rouncl, Sweet as the memory of the dead that haunts some holy ground; And yet there's wanting to my heart some joy or long ago, When the teamster shouted "Haw, Buck!” "Gee!" "G'langl" and "Whoa!" Demosthenes had a silvery tongue; and ClCEIL knew Greek, The Grocchi brothers loved old home and alway: helped the weak; But there's not a Grecian hero, nor a Roman high or low, Whgsel'heart spake braver patriot words than ee. ' "G'langl" and "Whoa!" Thdey were no coat of armour, the boys in twilight ays â€" They sang no classic music, but the old "Come all ye" lays; For armed with axe and hand-spike, each giant tree their foe, They rallied to the battle-cry of "Gee!" “G'lang!” and "Whoa!" And so they smote the forests down, and rolled the logs in heaps, And brought our country to the front in mighty studies and leaps, And left Upon the altar of each home wherein you 30: going frri‘lgrance of the flowers that bloom thmugh EB.
