Canadians Are Fairy Godmothers In Austrian Camp To Displaced By PATRICIA PALMER London, July 28--Miss A. K. Prentice of Toronto and Laneck, the Tirol, knows now that the Cind- erella story is true. She saw it happen. : In England on furlough from Aus- 'tria where she is welfare officer at an UNRRA camp for displaced per- sons, Miss Prentice grew enthusi- '@stic about . the beautiful clothing that had been sent to her as a re- sult of stories in the Globe and Mail and Montreal Gazette about the desperate condition of the homeless people gathered together at Landeck. igen "Parcels have been arriving stead- fly--most 'of them from people I don't even know. I've been proud of my fellow-Canadians." "And you can't imagine what it means to see something beautiful in a country where clothing just can't be obtained, The clothes that have arrived from Canada have not only been attractive and practical--pret- ty sweaters, baby clothes, under- wear, bl , dresses, army nurses' uniforms, shoes, &tockings and gloves--but they're mended if they need it, freshly washed or cleaned, many with the cleaners' tags right on. them." An accomplished young pianist at Landeck figured in the Cinderella story. All through the winter the girl had literally nothing but rags to wear, but still she gave concerts for the rest of the camp and played for entertainments on a grand piano that the Germans had left behind. Box Comes from Canada Then in the spring a box arrived from Canada with a lovely rosy pink crepe evening dress and shoes . Yo match. "As I lifted them out of the wrappings I kept muttering over and over again, 'they've got to { fit' " Miss Prentice said. Although i the girl was heavily built and had large feet, both dress and shoes ; were exactly the right size, The concerts were given in a theatre made out of stables by the people in the camp, Landeck, which was formerly the site of German barracks, now provides shelter for about 3,000 Allied nationals the Germans used as slave labor, About 500 are children and when Miss Prentice arrived the babies had no clothing at all, "Most of them were just folded naked in pillows and carried around all day by their mothers. First clothes they had were made out of khaki army scarves with a hole cut for the neck, the sides sewn up and a place left for the arms." It was a great day when pretty baby clothes started arriving from Canada. "The mothers had never seen anything so beautiful and went away clutching them as if they . were rubies." With the children all dressed up in their new clothes Miss Prentice decided to have a baby show. Prize for Each Baby "The three winners were given the nicest gifts we could find, but every baby in the camp got a prize =-one because its mother had put a Httle embroidery on its clothes, an- other because it was on a nice clean Woman Cobbler Likes Her Job Vancouver, Aug 8.--(OP)--Pretty Frances Chambers is a skilful cob- bler and cannot understand why anyone should consider shoe-mak- ing an unusual occupation for wo- men, "I wouldn't change with any stenographer," she told an inter. viewer, "I like cobbling because it requires more talent than other oc- cupations open to wemen and it enables me to meet so many people." Mrs. Chambers started in the trade seven years ago and liked the work ao well that she learned every phase of the craft. She sald that she had never gouged her finger with an awl and has come to enjoy the acrid odor of hot rubber, Her husband, whom she sald she "almost married over a mer-ed boot," is also a cobbler. FAMILY FEEDING To assist housewives with the problem of serving meals which are not only in to all members of the family, but which supply the maximum in healthful foods ele- ments, a booklet "Let's Talk Food, Mother" has been issued by health : authorities. Copies of the booklet may be had, free, on application to provincial health departments, or ' to the Nutrition Division, Depart- ment of Nation Health and Wel- fare, Ottawa. ¢ pillow, and s0 on, I only wish the people who sent the things could have seen those happy mothers and children in their Canadian clothes." Miss Prentice was going back to Austria with three big trunks full of things that had been given to her 'in England. When she first went to Landeck, the camp had nothing but a sewing machine without needles, A sewing room was immediately started with the materials in her own workbakket, and she sent a call for help to England. The staff and service- women at the Canadian YWCA leave centre in London responded with mending wool, pins, needles, domes, hooks, | eyes 'and anything else they could spare, ly "Now we have a tailor shop, shoe- maker shop, clinic, sewing room, woodwork shop, works to capacity. Even now a | project will sometimes be held up | for weeks for lack of a nail or| something equally simple." Steady Improvement Things however, and the "Y" in Geneva sent materials for a recredtion room. Before that there was noth- ing to read, not even a pack of cards, and no letters could be writ- ten because 'there was no paper, pencils or pens. "You can't imagine how helpless I felt--completely segregated from people who sfioke my language -- seeing a great need all around me and unable to do much about it." That's why Miss Prentice is so anxious to thank Canadians for the parcels. "They saved my life--it was more than just the clothing. Knowing people wanted to help made all the difference in the world." A good many of the boxes arrived with the labels torn off or the ink faded or blotted by water so that the senders could never be traced to be thanked personally, For the future she'd like to ask people not to address things directly to Lan- deck, since they go through ordin- ary postal channels and may be opened by the customs. Parcels ad- dressed to her in care of UNRRA, Team 148, Central Headquarters, APO 8564, Vienna, CMF, are handled differently, however, and will probably be. delivered more quickly, Parcels from Toronto Parcels have been received from the following in. the Toronto dis- trict and from many others who are unidentified: St. Enoch's Nursing Division, Parliament St.; Mrs. R, Card, 142 Chester Ave.; Miss Helene Robson, 40 Cherrywood Ave.; Mrs. Carr- | Harris, Bayfield, Ont.; Miss Flor- ence Rogers, St. John's Ambulance, 163 Pinewood Ave.; Mrs. F, Erhardt, 357 Northcliffe Blvd., Canadian YWCA; St. John's Ambulance, and Ontario House staff, £ A peppy flavour trick to give sand. wiches 'oomph'; ;.and s-t-retch butter 50% further!
