Mrs. Smith was named by a board of judges meeting in Chi- cago to review candidates from some 4000 super markets in the United States and Canada for the International Checker of the Year awards sponsored annual- ly by Super Market Institute and National Cash Register Company. The competiiton is based on customer courtesy, a co-opera- tive attitude toward fellow work- ers and cash register accuracy. A checker-cashier for nearly five years, Mrs. Smith is em- loyed by Power Super Markets ., and her checkstand is at 564 King street east, Oshawa. The wife of Captain Edward Smith, Oshawa Fire Depart- ment, Mrs. Smith is the mother of two children and is also a young grandmother.

Textures Gloves Neat Accent On Smooth Look For Spring There is no main fashion sil- houette for spring and summer. There is, however, a main feel- ing to fashion. The feeling is young, kookie, versatile and textural. Gloves, as always, reflect the seasonal trends. Just as stock- ings are patterned, fabrics have the look of "'Op Art" and coats are lean, so gloves incorporate and accentuate these main trends. The shortie glove takes on new significance this spring and summer because of cuff interest. The cut-out design comes into its own. The con- trast of solid' fabric with open- weave, lifts the little pull-on from a mundane necessity to a fashion '"'must". The practical addition of eleasticized cuffs to practically all the shorties, in- sures smooth, close fit. This year, for the first time, glove etiquette has accepted the shortie with the sleeveless dress. This is a young fashion idea but one that is likely to spread to all age groups. Texture is the magic word for spring and summer. Dimension is another word frequently used there is some expanse of mate- rial to accentuate the beauty of color, or the fabric, or both. The textured glove is long, lean and uncluttered. The good tex- tured glove eschews buttons, bows, trim of any kind. It re- lies purely and simply on color and texture to bring richness and elegance to the costume. As in past seasons, nylon is the main fabric for spring and summer. The two main colors for spring don't explain much by their names. 'Pink Bloom" is in fact a rather dusty, greyed pink, that is more subdued than vivid. By virtue of its gentle shading, it will actes- sorize nicely and not present too much of a problem of con- trast. 'Tropic Isle' borders on the turquoise and will be most effective with the neutrals that are big for the season or with navy blue. The traditional navy blue, and the all-important white will be seen in abundance this year with the beiges and other high colors trailing far behind.
