{THE EXPERTS SAY 3-D Art of Floral Layouts Is $80,000,000 Yearly Business ct A A ES By JOAN BARBERIS Canadian Press Stalf Writer The art of floral design has made great strides in recent years and an accomplished florist shouldn't b at any request, says James Lawrie of Tordnto, president of the Florists Telegraph Delivery Asso- cl i Illustrating his point, Mr. Lawrie said one American florist recently had an order from India to send a pure white goat with a blanket of roses to some Hindus attend- ing a religious ceremony in Los "Yndaunted, the florist bought a goat, gave it a scrub, made it a coat of roses and delivered it to the Hindus." : BIG INVESTMENT The florist business in Canada, Mr. Lawrie says, represents an in- vestment of some ,000,000 and the number of florists here has in- creased by half since the war. A peak year for the floral tele- graph service occurred during the war when $30,000,000 worth of flow- ers were delivered. However, for the last fiscal year $41,000,000 wire between Canada and _the United States alone. Although there is no permanent school for florists, the Allied Flor- ists and Growers of Canada hold a two-week annual summer school at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. \ This year's course has just fin- ished and was attended by 65 per- sons, among them a former mem- ber of the tank corps, an optome- trist and a nurse. HOLIDAY AT SCHOOL The nurse said she wanted to know a bit more about the care and arrangement of flowers her patients might receive. The optom- etrist now runs a flower shop. in Peterborough. One man from Nova Scotia made the florists' school part of his holi- day and 'brought along his family. The ex-army man, Bill McKillop, now with a Toronto florist, said the students were told not to for- get 3-D in flower arrangements-- There should be height,width and epth. Shelf-Storage Of Pickles Prolonged exposure to light and high samperaire has a profound on pickles, and manufactur- ers and retailers should take pre- cautions to provide storage condi- tions most favourable to the reten- tion of quality. Two or three months' storage under unfavour- able conditions will seriously low- er their quality. Direct sunlight and high temp- eratures cause the greatest dam- age to pickling quality. Dark stor- age at 98 degrees F. and exposure to direct sunlight at room temp- erature are equally destructive to the colour, texture and flavour. In two months the colour becomes dull and faded, texture flabby and flavour deteriorated. indirect light has less severe effects on quality over the same period, and pickles at room temperature out of direct sunlight retain their full quality for one month. At the end of the second menth, however, colour, flavour and texture quality are affected--the quality being barely acceptable. Pickles keep as well for a two month storage period at moderate room temperature in the dark, as at lower temperatures of say 40 or 60 degrees F. The lower tempera- tures are, of course, better for very long storage holds. Si t and high temperatures above degrees F. are to be avoided even during short shelf- storage. To protect quality, pickles displayed on shelves should have short-time exposure 'to indirect light at moderate temperatures. Preservation of maximum quality pays in profits both to manufact- urer and retailer, through increas- ed demand for consistently high grade pickle products.

Wants Parrot To Aid Her In Swearing SHREVEPORT, La. (AP)---Mrs. W. E. Lott said today she can put a cussing parrot to good use so she has put in a request for a profane parrot which has been causing blushes at Menlo Park, Calif. around Meno Park hurling choice, but unprintable, epithets at every- one. This won't bother Mrs. Lott, if are a lot of things at her farm home near Shreveport that need a good cussing. 'For instance, the parrot could help me cuss my dogs," she said. She has a dozen Mexican chihua- huas. All my life Ive wanted a par- rot that could cuss," said Mrs. Lott. "When I read where they were going to shoot the one out in California I wired the sheriff that I wanted it." Mrs. Lott said she hadn't heard from the sheriff.

The latest cut, Toplacing the poodle or short cut curled over the head, is the corolla which fea- tures a smooth flat crown giving a neat cap effect. Ends are shaped and thinned. and often swirled to one side rather than turned up or under. Bangs which became a vogue in the U.S. when Mrs. Eisenhower be- came the first lady, are growing in popularity in Paris. Especially favored here is the half bang or windswept fringe over the temples. Beaux catchers and short end curls break the natural hairline for women who feel that their fore- heads are too low to wear a full Antoine recently presented a show of wax heads which proves how many of his current-day styles have been evoked from past eras. But for actual wear "today," Antoine tends to cut the hair shorter than ever.

Another evening fantasy is 'a side coxcomb made of false hair which has been dyed a rainbow harmony of pastel shades from pale yellow to shell pink and sky ue. In hair coloring, Antoine tends to discard the "coup de soleil," or lighter streaks, in favor of single-toned rinses. He predicts that light reddish casts and vene- tian blonde shades will be most in demand this season.

Veal Stew Gets New Look With Pastry Topping It's not reasonable but true -- people do feel more pampered and cherished when a plain old stew has a pastry topping that makes it into a pot pie. This one has a bran pastry for a pleasing twist on the same old theme. VEAL POT PIE pound veal steak OR ups diced cooked veal Different interpretations of the corolla are starred by Alex Tonio. The top hair is left thick and heavy in a type of natural cowlick radiat- ing out from a star point at the crown. One or two medusa curls may be brushed forward over the temples, while the back hair is thinned in graduated points to a modified "'suck's tail" at the nape of the neck. Another style is Greek inspired, and consists of sculptured flame curls forming a diadem across the top. of the head. Wear Proper Shoes And Banish Summer Foot Aches Indian fakirs make a specialty of walking on red hot coals. Thous- ands of le match this routine every day to transact their affairs clad in shoes that stifle their feet. According to a forgotten humor: ist, there is one virtue about ach- ing feet: they make a man forget about his other troubles! So if burning feet take your mind off the overdue payment on the car or the butcher's bill, carry on! On the other hand, if your neigh- bors are beginning to haul in their children when you approach, and your difposition sizzles like the thermometer in July, you may want a change: Listening to the advice of the foot experts will help you get re- lief. As the one basic step in foot hygiene, they recommend the wear- ing of roomy shoes equipped with supple leather uppers and soles: Foot doctors have long known of the cooling action induced by the fibrous structure of genuine leather, and that's why they re- commend all-leather shoes to their patients. They point out that shoes are the only articles of wearing apparel that can cause serious damage to your health. The ex- perts have nothing but harsh words for shoes that are too tight or are made of stiff or rigid materials. A little care in the shoe-fitting department, and wearing the right kind of shoes for all occasions, may do the trick. SPLIT SKIRT? Has the step up into a bus ever left you with your modestly split skirt hanging open well above the knee? This can't happen if a strip of hot iron tape is pressed om in- side across the tip of the split. The same treatment is advisable for kick pleats, particularly when the fabric has been cut away to reduce bulkiness in the upper por- tion of the pleat.

CLEVELAND MYERS A new safety problem has arisen because of television. Perhaps a father or boy you know personally has suffered from a serious or even fatal accident in connection with the installation or repair of TV an- tennae. Most of the accidents occur from falling; most of the fatal ones from electrocuon. An inexperienced fall upon a live electric cable. But some fathers or their adolescent sons, eager to save money and hav- ing an interest in and some aptit- ude for sorts of things, are too eager to install TV equipment on the roof, or to repair this equip- ment. UNSAFE LADDER Uusually, this person does not have a safe and adequate 'ladder. It may be too short or too frail. Of course, the average lad is pretty agile at climbing, yet he may be egged on to take too great a risk. Instead, he often should be pre- vailed on, even commanded, to avoid climbing for which he has not had adequate experience. A father, even if a good climber in earlier years may not be a safe climber now especially if he is a bit heavy and is an office' man. There may be financial loss in- stead of gain, for when at last the expert must be éalled, the total expense may surpass what instal- lation by the proper person would have cost in the first place. KINDRED HAZARDS Climbing jobs about the house, such as repairing the roof or rain- spout, can be hazardous. Even the putting up of screens or storm windows on a second story can hold peril for Father. So, also, can the moving of heavy furniture. It may be commonplace to warn all parents and children against us- ing chairs to reach for things about the house instead of a sturdy short stepladder.
