At 86, She Enjoys A Ride in a Plane. It all started with Mrs. Daniel Sargant, 86 years old, being asked last Sunday morning by her son, Mr, Stanley Sargant, and his wife and sons, "How would you like to go flying?" She was sunning herself on the verandah and they were set- ting out for the Ontario County Flying Club. There was nothing to prevent her golhg with them and 80 she replied, "I believe I would." "It is just like riding in a car but much more bumpy," s#id Mrs. Sargant last evening at her daugh- ter's home on Gibbs Street, Shé en. joyed the hour's ride during which she saw Jackson's Point, Lake Sim- coe and Lake Scugog but there are two improvements she wants in the next airplane she boards. She must have a higher seat so that she can see better; being strapped down in a low seat did not suit this active little lady. She also wants a quieter engine, "If my sister had been here, she would have gone too," Mrs. Sargant remarked, That sister, 94 years old, has lived through the London air raids and her indomitable spirit has won her the name of "The grand old lady of Bethnal Green." Confidence in The Pilot It was Mrs, Sargant's grandson, Lawrence, who had been a pilot officer in the R.C.AF, who was at the controls of the Flying Club's Cessna, She was not afraid for, argued she, "If it is all right for my own, it is all right for me." Lawrence's only passengers were his parents, his brother, Russell, and his grandmother, Mrs, Sargant's son-in-law and daughter had also gone to the Fly- ng Club, Although they knew the old lady's venturesome spirit, they were nevertheless somewhat sure prised when the big plane which they had been watching circling above the airfield finally came down and Mrs. Sargant appeared. They had had no idea she had even gone to the airfield, She has wanted to fly for a long time, Her grandson in Hamilton who did private flying before the war was going to take her up in those pre-war days but something always prevented, she said last night. It wasn't that she ever back- ed out, let it be known. Her daugh- ters say they have never known her to back out of anything. It was exactly that spirit that brought her, a widow with eight children, to Canada from England 34 years ago. Now, still with her eight children and also 21 grand- children and five greatgrandsons, she talks of the next airplane trip she will take but she insists that there be those two improvements made first, - Myrs. Frank McCallum On Simcoe Hall Work Mrs. Frank McCallum was guest speaker at the third quarterly meet- ing of the Woman's Association of Simcoe Street United Church last Tuesday afternoon, when Mrs, Har- ry Smith presided.

Progress Montreal, -- (OP)--Although not granted the right to vote, women in Lebanon have been making stea- dy progress since 1920, Miss Edme Bayrouth, secretary of the Young Women's Christian Association in Beirut, sald in an interview here recently, Attending the International La- bor Office sessions here, she spent seven months in the United States studying labor conditions under which children and women work. Before 1935, there had been no laws protecting women and chil- dren in Lebanon. Private organiza- tlons, such as the Y.W.C.A,, pressed government which eventually passed legislation providing that there should be no night work for women and children and that no child under 13 should work, Although it was a "great ad- vance," the organizations 'have still a long way to go." Since 1939, Lebanon youth grou held annual meetings to vin labor problems. "Thus in our country," said Miss Bayouth, "representatives of many different religions found common ground , . . backing a program which is trying to bring about ad- yanesy educational and labor legis- They had the support of a repre- sentative government, sald the Y.

She was Mrs, Annie Brown, who married in 1901, A number of her 12 surviving children attended the funeral. Mrs, Brown's family is believed to be a record for Aus- tralia. YWCA Votes $25,000 For Europe; World Head Addresses Council Decision to undertake a cam; cit YWCA at headquarters yester- day in Toronto, with Mrs. Walter , Rean presiding. The amount, "preferably to be raised by personal givings of the entire of Canada," will be in addition to the $10,000 already subscribed by Canada for recon- struction work. Mrs. Harry Endean, Toronto YW president, sponsored the resolution. The meeting also endorsed ac- tion of the national board in urg- the Dominion Government to and even to increase, con- ol of food distribution in Canada order that this country may ful- its commitments for the export of food overseas, In expressing to the Dominion Government appreciation for the training of household assistants, provided by Canadian vocational training, and the work of Miss Marion Graham as supervisor of women's training, the meeting urged that "steps be taken imme- diately to provide legislation for the protection of house assistants in matters of unemployment insur- ance, workmen's compensation, minimum wages and maxmum hours of work, so that more young women may feel inclined to take advantage of the training for hous- hold work as an occupation." Would Extend Benefits It was also urged by the meeting that educational benefits of the Veterans' Rehabilitation Act avail- able to the servicemen be extended to apply also to widows of service~ men with children, and that allow- ances be provided in addition to pension on a scale that would per mit the widow to take advantage of educational opportunities, Pen- sions as provided at present "are not adequate for women with chil- dren without supplementation," it was pointed out. Mrs. Albert Matthews was a guest at the afternoon sessions, highlight of which was the arrival of the World YWOA president, Miss O. M. van Asch van Wijck, who flew from Amsterdam to be pres- ent at the national meeting, which she addressed, leading' at some length with reconstruction work. As a token of appreciation of her visit, the delegates presented the World president with $300, Spiritual Basis of Life Reconstruction of the spiritual and moral basis of life is even a greater need than reconstruction in international and political realms, "and an organization like the YW CA which calls itself 'Christian' has a great task and a great oppor- tunity in this field," said Miss C. M, van Asch van Wijck, world presi- dent, in an interview yesterday, in Toronto. Looking surprisingly fit, after her harrowing experiences of the war years, which she spent in her native Holland, and full of enthu- slasim for the cause to which she has dedicated her life, this "leader of a million girls," as she was in- troduced, arrived by plane yester- day just in time to be with the Canadian unit of the world "Y". family, when they were debating their role in world reconstruction. Rapid Reconstruction Miss van Asch van Wijck, who travelled by Royal Dutch Airlines, was thrilled because air travel facilities, which had been com- pletely destroyed, had been recon- structed and made usable "in such an incredibly short time." "It is most encouraging when one becomes depressed at the evi- dence of the awful havoc wrought in my own and other European countries to look around and see the amount of reconstruction which has been accomplished within one short year, in spite of all sorts of shortages and labor troubles," she sald. "We need these constructive things--we are too apt to dwell upon the depressing aspects of our national life, Speaking of her pleasure at being in Canada once more--(she was here for the World Convention in Muskoka in 1039)--she said: " came to know and love the Maple * Leaf during the war years." "A very special link exists be tween Canada and Holland--it was us. And Canada gave sanctuary to some of our royal family," she add- ed, Just before leaving Holland she had been speaking to Princess Juliana, and she told me how happy she and her children had been in Ottawa. As for the YWCA work, one of its greatest needs at present is leader~ ship. No récruiting was possible during the war--in some countries the work was entirely forbidden, Generally speaking, there has been an increase in membership among young women's groups and a de- crease among older women since the war, 19 Meat Coupons Given Yesterday News from the local Ration Board office this morning is a little more cheering than yesterday but --only 19 unused valid meat cou- pons were received there yesterday. The total now stands at 11,258. It's true that 19 sounds better than the three reported yesterday morning but what is that from the thousands of in Oshawa and district? Is everyone saving coupons for a big roast on Thanks- giving Day? One wonders, Let's remember the starving folks of Bur and how little many have to be thankful for except that the actual fighting has ceased, although even that is not. true for all. The local Ration Board at 66 Simcoe Street North will gladly re- ceive your coupons from you in per- son, or by mali or simply dropped through the malil-slot in the door. The chief thing is--let's give. Missionary from India At Mission Circle Mrs. "H, Bass of the Ceylon and India General Mission was the speaker at the Women's Mission Circle of the Calvary Baptist Church yesterday afternoon. She described the different forms of religion in India including the wo! of idols and suttee, the pagan rité in which a widow is burned to death on her husband's funeral pyre. Mrs, Bass also spoke of the loyalty and steadfastness of those who have em= braced the Gospel. She urged-her listeners to pray for tliem, and for those who go to India with the Gospel.
