At least so she says, she thinks superstitions are "nonsense." © "I can't skate at all unless I put on my left boot first!" she confided as she was trying on her boots just before an early-morning rehearsal at the Theatre. ':'Have you ever tried putting on your right boot first?" she was ask- ed "No," the pretty Ottawa skater replied, "But I just know I couldn't skate if I did!" Despite that quirk, Barbara Ann thinks most superstitions are silly. Things like expecting seven-years' bad luck for breaking a mirror or argument if you spill salt, "They're just nonsense." "How about the number 13?" the world champion was asked. "Why that's my lucky numbe. | I've drawn that number in compe- tition so often I think it's a lucky one for me. "For that matter, when the Minto Skating Club of Ottawa gave me a gold pen fashioned like a skate, they had 13 diamonds set in it. I don't think there's anything une lucky about 13." The world figure-skating . cham- pion, who rakes her professional debut early next. week, admits to another little superstition. "I knock on woci1 when someone asks me about something that has never happened to me," she said. "Tre other day when the editor$ of high school newspapers were in- terviewing me, someone asked me if I had ever fallen in competiton. Before I answered that I had not, I knocked on the wooden table in front of me." Student Nurses Hold Joint Birthday Party Student nurses at the Oshawa General Hospital held a party on Saturday night to celebrate six birthdays all falling within a few days of each other. Those with birthdays were Miss Helen Leppan- en, Miss Amy Irwin, Miss Marjorie Glover, all seniors, and Miss Mary Clarke, Miss Beverley Flintoff and Miss Agnes Thomson, ies. Colored lights decorated the recs reation hall and Mr. A. W. Arm- strong acted as M.C. for the novel- ty dances and games. Miss Amy Irwin, and Miss Phyllis Parker acted as chaperones. " The highlight of the evening was a visit of Santa Claus who was generous in his distribution of gifts. It's So Easy to Cook COMPLETE MEALS this Electrical way!
