Saturday night supper dances are pop- ular weekly events of the Winter season. HUGH C. MACFARLANE, Resident Manager gffy fffome It is the little things that make My Home. Little things like the uneven tick of Several clocks through the night hush, The soft important striking of The oldest one there on the wall. The look of frosted windows, with the Tracery of some faded forest's ferns, and frozen stars. Silvered windows, and fresh curtains. Candlelight, and a peaceful quiet. A small dogis brown eyes and wagging tail, A white door, and a light at night, Smiles and laughter, tears, and, At times, uncertainty and a heartsick weariness. And yet through every day a confidence And a trust in each other . . . That is Home. That, and the memories of All childhood's dreams . . . faiths That have vanished like the morning mists. Trusts that have failed, And strong new hopes . . . a lifetime of Happiness, and of comracleships. Home is just the simple things, A family breathing in the night, And the creak of stairs, The knowing where to find things In the dark . . . Warmness, and familiar voices, Lights and shadows, singing, The scent of flowers and lavender, Laughter strangely distant . . . Home. -By DONNA MCRAE 276

FIRST let me offer my sympathy to the undergraduates of the University Manitoba for the upsets and disturbances that war inevitably brings to a college campus. My own college work was interrupted by war and I know from experience how ditlicult it is to concentrate on normal work and activity when urgent and abnormal demands are being made on all sides. But this interruption is not wholly bad by any means. It makes for temporary difficulty but, if history repeats itself-and I believe in this particular instance that it will-our victory and its aftermath will bring with it a great stirring and ferment in the world which can be turned to good account, if we are wise enough to take advantage of it. I do not propose to elaborate this moral or to become any more senten- tious than I am now, but let me underline the obvious by saying that the world is going to be a fairly interesting place these next twenty or thirty years, and I wish the present generation of University of Manitoba students well in it. GEORGE V. FERGUSON, Honorary President, U.M.S.U. 24
