Such an ancient canary, he 'sald, did nothing but sit on the bottom of his cage and could not Canaries begin to sing when five months old. Ordinarily, a male bird sings and a female may sing. The father bird may be dumb (literally, not in the slang sense) but his Spildren will likely sing, Mr. Powell aries as with human beings, but the quality of the mother bird is of gir! more im than that of the father, he declared. A mother bird with a good figure, he added, usual- 'ly transmits it to fier offspring. How much does a canary cost?" the reporter asked Mr, Powell "pwenty-five dollars" he replied, "is a good price for a pair, but a'single show bird may cost as Sus as that and a good hen may i Two of the most important things in raising canaries is to keep them clean and out of draughts and dampness, As to the first requisite, you may give the bird its little oval bath and let.it bathe itself. If you are preparing it for a show, how- ever, you use a liquid shampoo and bathe it yourself. The tiny creature may almost pass out under the ex- perience, warned Mr, Powell, but rolling it in a warm flannel] will re. store it. When a canary goes to a fair, a bath by hand is a "must," + | he said, How often should a canary get a bath? Mr. Powell, who is a busy druggist, said at least twice a week. Draughts Dangerous Now for the question of draughts. A canary can stand a good dea] of cold but not too much heat, while a draught can knock the little crea- ture out. "And what about food?" this bird fancier was asked. A mixture of canary seed and rape seed forms a good food supplemented with cod liver oil all the year round," he re- plied but added that condition seed should also be used. As condition seed contains flax seed, canaries devour it but it has to be given in limited quantities or they will put on weight--and fat birds are not , He deprecated the practice of feeding bread and cake to can- aries. "Keep them on the hungry side," was his advice, "for some birds have a tendency to get fat." Hints on Breeding Breed yellow canaries to buffs but never two buffs or two yellows. The children of two buffs will have long loose feathers, and those of two yellows may have almost no feath- ers except on the head and neck, he revealed, "It's quite a thing to raise a good bird," he asserted. "What about canaries which get homesick?" he was asked, His ad- vice was to send the birds back to their original owner for a few days and then they would likely be all right in their new home. (This reporter should have known the answer to this question in ad- vance, knowing that the homesick 1s at boarding school are usually quite settled down and happy after the free week-end given about the first week in October. Birds and people are very similar, you see.) British Woman M.P. Gets Ideas From Housewives for New Houses London, Nov. 18--(CP)--See- ing Monica Felton tapping at a London door, you wouldn't dream she had come on business that might change thousands of wo- men's lives. She is a bright, per- ky, brown-eyed woman with a di- rect and friendly smile and you might think she was simply a neighbor bent on bridge. But if you stood beside her as the housewife opened the door, saw the quick smile that lit the weary face, heard the housewife"s warm invitation to come in for a ' cup of tea and listened to the co- sy chat over its fragrant steam you would change your mind. For Monita Felton, Labor Member of Parliament, is the only woman on the New Town . Committee of Fourteen -- Britain's housing braintrust. She represents the women of Britain on the commit- tea which advises government on rebuilding Britain's war-ravaged towns and houses and her visits to its housewives are for the pur- pose of finding out what they roally need and want. Practical Experience - The women are talking to no mere theorist when thoy talk to Monica Felton, Ph, D, She is the daughter of a country clergyman, keeps house in the shadow of Big Ben, is a good gardener and cook, knows what it takes to keep house well, and longs to giv it to Britain's women. "The women of Britain are tir- ed of , . . standing in line and go- ing short," she has said. "There is a limit to patience, even for the women of this island. We wed _ the world we could take it in the dark hours, when we all pulled together, but we're not going to keep on taking it en there's no need. Now we're going to see to it that we receive , . ." Worked To Win + "We mobilized labor on a g; ter ratio of man hours and Pro- duction than any of our allies in order to get war production, The women of Britain must make their voice heard to ensure that all our resources are poured into keeping up this terrific effort in order to get the things for which 'we have waited so long -- first, houses; second, food; third, se- curity." Many of the ideas of Monica Felton gleaned from snonymous next-door neighbors over a pot of tea have been incorporated into Britain's building program. Four thousand mass-produced houses (which: will be followed by 656,000 more of the same kind) have labor-saving devicer that will make a vast difference in the lives of British housewives. The kitchens feature a hot-air clothes-drying closet, a breakfast table that slides ito the wall, an ironing board that swings down "from a cupboard, and a unit that combines sink, cooker, table and refrigerator. 3 " Social Welfare One of Dr. Felton's outstanding interests is social welfare, Hence the New Town Committee has re- served space on its plans for mo- dern maternity and pre-natal cli- nies, day ! night nurseries, schools fog dei :ate and physical- ly Thandie children a school buildings with complet 'walls of glass, equipped with big fields, gardening space and ns for practical work, * But the th that will deligh | the youngsters are the new play- "for about 15 grounds and parks which Dr. Fel- ton recommended. 'Not a bare expanse of asphalt, erclosed by wire," she said. "Let imaginative boys and girls make their own adventures. Give them a cave or two, a tunnel, some gnarled tree stumps and ample footholds, some dwarf walls for playing house, a sandpit and perhaps a shallow pond." Need Closer Link Between Peoples Montreal, Nov, 18--(CP)--A true sense of relationship between peo- ple of the world's countries is need- ed to give meaning to the United Nations Organization we have founded, Warwick F. Chipman, K. C., Canadian ambassador to Argen- tina, said in an address to the Wo- men's Canadian Club here, He urged his listeners to turn their thoughts in all directions. Speaking of the four American countries--Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru--where Canadian trade missions have been established, Mr. Chipman sald, "there has been a warmth of welcome and under- standing for Canada that is deeply gratifying to those who represent her and td any Canadian visitors." As a result of the war, there are immense difficulties in the way of trade transportation and travel. However, there is a great need to "send back on their missions as soon as we can do so, these three ambassadors of peace." Business and pleasure travellers would do much for international fellowship. "We on this hemisphere, north- erners and southerners, know far too little of each other," sajd Mr. Chipman. "We cannot begin too soon to know more." By inaugurating diplomatic 'mis- sions, Canada was joining in a work that more and more must be done for unity, No Tarnip in Jam, British Assured London, Nov. 15--(CP)--Dr Edith Summerskill, red-headed parlia- secretary to the Food Min- istry, has reassured the House of Commons that there is no turnip in any British jam and left mem- bers muttering that they wonder- ed what is in the jam--vegetable marrow? Dr. Summerskill had answered an Inj about the contents of Brit- ish jam by saying it could be fresh fruit or pulp, with -the addition only of pectin and coloring or pre- serving matter, Cheese Nippies Make A Quickie Appetizer Cheese Nipples are a "quickie" appetizer to serve witii~punch, sauce popped rice % teaspoon salt cereal (1 pkge) % cup dry grated cheese (a 0z.)

"Women's organizations in Cana- da represent an almost unplumbed depth in regard to consumer edu- cation," Miss Sanders said. "We have developed over the past 30 years a network of 30 nationally or- ganized women's groups, second to none." "Their scope and efficiency is something to marvel at, yet there is practically ne liaison between Canadian business and these organ- izations," Miss Sanders added, Ian H. MacDonald, General Man- ager of the Canadian Dally News- papers Association, was among the other speakers who addressed the convention today. Mr, MacDonald discussed current trends in brand preference and. buying habits in two key Canadian Cities as reveal- ed in a pr report from the CD.N.A. National Consumer Sur- vey.

Not many. There are beautiful faces and beautiful figures, but the distinguished, appealing appear- ance is rare. Some of the great la- dies of the stage have it; it is pure Joy to watch them. They have a quality of bearing that sets them apart. They know how to stand, how to sink into a chair, what to do with their hands and feet. Every woman in her right mind desires to make the most of her- self, to be attractive, Millions are spent on cosmetics and attire, yet charm of movement doesn't cost anything at all. One can have it for free. It starts in the mind, re- member that. Think beauty of form, and eventually you will acquire it. Have so much respect for your body that you carry it splendidly. Perfect posture is an aid to health, and sometimes a cure for ills. Doc- tors stress the need of it, especially in growing children.

Mrs, Mackie has one room reser- efl as the "crying room." Whenever her grandchildren start to cry, she tells them: "It's all right for you to cry, but you must do it in the crying room. No one will disturb you and you may cry as long as you wish. It will be lots of fun to cry all by yourself. Want to try it now?"

At the réception tea was served by the three daughters of the host and hostess: Mrs. William Whalley (Carrie) of Eau Claire, Ont.; Mrs, Joseph Valliquett (Elsie) of Parry Sound, and Mrs, Robert Mooney (Hazel) of Lake Placid, N. Y. The table was centred with a wedding cake on which in silver letters was "Sixty Years." The crocheted cen- trepiece was one made by Mrs. Hurlbert 30 years ago. Among the guests were twin bro- thers with their wives, and a sister of Mrs, Hurlbert; Mr. and Mrs. Al- bert. Goodman and Mr, and Mrs, Berbert Goodman and Mrs, Charles- wortly, al] of Toronto. Rev. and Mrs. S. Littlewood of Orono, who had been stationed at Eau Claire when Mr. and Mrs. Hurlbert lived there were also among the guests, Many of the 23 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren also called during the afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Hurlbert were mar- ried at Enniskillen by Rev. L. Saul- ter 60 years ago. Mr. Hurlbert's grandparents came to Ontario from Baltimore, Penn,, about 1835. The grandfather was of Pennsylvania Dutch descent, Mr. T. G, Hurlbert was born in Orono where his fath- er had a sawmill and later did cob- bling. Mrs, T. G. Hurlbert"s father had come out from Devonshire but her mother was a native of Ux- bridge. The gouple lived for a time on Scugog I where Mr. Hurlbert worked for Mr. J. Graham, and then they moved tp Eau Claire in Nipis- sing District. There he farmed and also engaged in mining and lumber- ing.

In 1920 the family came to Oshawa to live but after a short time, they moved to a farm near Cannington on which one son, Roy, now lives. They retired to Oshawa some nine years ago. All six children of Mr. and Mrs. Hurlbert are still living and were at the family dinner on Saturday.

'What does the bride of 60 years ago think of the world today? It is terrible, says she, there is no peace. In some respects, however, she grants that things are better than when she was young, but other things are worse, Young people nowadays, she thinks, have more freedom but less control. Woman Returns To Lonely Isle Sydney, Australia, Nov. 18--(CP) --Mrs, Gladys Baker who abandon- ed her Witu island plantation, north of Australia, when the Jap- anese invasion was under way in 1942 and received the M.B.E. for helping with the evacuation of a settlement in New Britain, has re- turned to Witu to take up business where she left off four years ago. Mrs. Baker who is 45 will be the only white woman on Witu Island, near larger New Britain, where be- fore the war she operated a copra plantation left with her by her husband who died in 1934. When Mrs, Baker was forced to leave by the Japanese approach, she made for a small settlement on the coast of New Britain in a launch. There she set up an emer- gency hospital to care for wounded volunteer defenders but finally eva- cuation was ordered. Knowing the hiding place of an island steagner, Mrs. Baker took charge of the escape of several white residents and natives and got them safely to Australia after a 12- day trip in which she helped with navigation, During the war Mrs, Baker work- ed in Australia with Army Intelli- gence mapping the New Britain area, She joined the women's ser- vices in the hope of a posting to the northern islands but was kept on the mainland. ; : She remained in Australia until her discharge and recently started back to Witu to reorganize the plantation which was damaged by bombing. Her large home, once an island show-place, was destroyed but Mrs. Baker plans to live in a hunt until a new residence is built. Social Notices Marriage Announcements $i pe Suits of Draws 10c a he .
