C., Sept. 25-- (CP)--Beach pyjamas may be all right for young ladies during the holl- day season, but students at Kitsilano high school here have very different ideas about work-day costumues, Vol- untanily they have adopted uniforms, and it is believed that in this action they have set a precedent for public schools in Canada. When the Kitsilano girls returned to school September 1--there are several hundreds of them--they were atired in neat blue uniforms of dis- tinctive yet practical design. é Navy: blue_ serge, tailored into jumper dress with low cut front over white biouse, or smart skirt, worn with white blouse, is the chosen fashion. With both these costumes, ties in school colors will be worn, as will blue blazers with school crest. Low-heeled shoes and dark-blue hats, with possibly blue reefer coats for winter, will be the only necessary wardrobe for these girls. No jewelry or ornaments of any kind will be worn. No frills or foibles, these young girls decided, and parents | agreed with them by an overwhelming ma- AUC AT SUTHERLAND'S ale at 10 am. 2 p.m. " 7.30 p.m. 6% 66 ae . and J.

Scobie had won among his fellow-employees of Sil- verwood's Dairies Limited, was ex- pressed last Saturday by every mem- ber of the staff. Myr. Scobie, whose position was that of accountant in the office has been promoted to man- ager of the Cargill, Ont., branch. Before leaving the office last Sat- urday he was taken completely by surprise when a beautiful presenta: tion was given him as well as the 1ollowing address: Mr. Scobie: We have gathered here today to ex- press our regrets upon hearing that you are leaving us in the near. future. The harmony that has existed be- tween yourself and the employees of Silverwood's Stratford Dairy has been of a most desirable nature and while we regret that you are to Jeave, we are glad that the powers that be have seen fit to appoint you to a higher post. in this organization. We would ask you to accept this small present as a token of our es- teem and goodwill and wish you fur- ther success in your new position. Signed on behalf of the employees of Silverwood's Stratford Dairy, Lim- ited, Stephen H. Cordell. G. B. Burton, W. B. Martin. "After gratefully acknowledging his appreciation of the gift, Mr. Scobie said he regretted leaving the local branch of the Silverwooc plant, as well as leaving Stratford and the many fine citizens he had met since coming here over a year ago. Mr. Powell, the manager of the Stratford branch, not only spoke most eulogistically of Mr. Scobie's work but of his exemplary character, whose influence will remain with those with whom he has keen asso- ciated. Mr. Scobie who has been with the firm for over nine years is held in the highest esteem by the Silverwood company.

The Home Eico- nomics department has aided several students in blocking out their own patterns, and mothers have been sewing on these during the summer. One Japanese girl has tailored her own costume, and it is stated that her uniform compares favorably with those purchased.
