Test in Florida for Ramie Wonder FP ibre from Orient (The following article needs an introduction, perhaps, if you have not lived in the Orient. Ramie is the fiber from which is made the grass linen which the Chinese have exported to America in large . quantities made up into tea cloths, serviettes, guest towels and run- ners. The articles have usually been embroidered or adorned with applique work or drawnwork. If you have ironed one of these pieces you have noticed that no starch was ry; it d to contain some. Now you know what th's article tells about. (A second instalment about ramie will appear tomorrow. It will be an expansion of the final sentence in this article. If you are interested in oddities, here is one: Today's article appeared in a science col- umn several weeks ago and we cut it out with the thought it might be of interest some time. Last week the second article appeared as a news dispatch from Shanghai and is, 'as it were, an accidental sequel to the first. Note by the Woman's Editor.) The Oriental wonder fiber, ramie, first mentioned in the Imperial Chinese Treatise on Agriculture in 2200 B.C., will be given another test in the Florida Everglades within the next few months, - A ramie- processing plant is being built Jointly the United States Sugar Corporation and Newport Indus- tries, Inc., of Pensacola, Fla. The plant is located on the West Palm Beach highway, about nine miles east of Canal Point. It will process ramie from 1,000 acres and even- tually from 2,000 acres. Another large investment is that of the Florida Ramie Products Corpora- tion, which has purchased 5,000 acres of Everglades for ramie cul- ture. From ramie durable and attrac- tive clothes, house furnishings, strong belting and fabrics can be made which wear long, do not shrink and take dyes well, Origin of Ramie Ramie is a bast fiber like hemp or linen. That is, the fiber is pro- duced from the stalk and not, like cotton, from the bloom. The cen- ter of the stalk is filled with soft, white pith. Then comes the thin "wood" that supports the plant and the inner bark, which is filled with fibers embedded Fog etinate " " The very thin, cl y ad- Hod outer skin, the epidermis comes last. The Chinese cut the plant, then in one strip peel off the "ribbon" composed of the outer and inner bark containing the fiber. The bark and adhering vegetable matter are separated from the fiber by hand with a sharp shell or knife. Many machines have been in- vented to do the stripping. Prob- ably the first successful one was made by the Krupp Company in Germany. This was introduced in- to the Philippines by the Japa- nese, at Davao on Mindanao, in the early 1930's. It was good for sirip- ping both Manila hemp and ramie. In the first eight months of 1939 the Philippines produced 2,501,000 pounds of ramie. Britain took three-fourths of this product, the United States the rest. Stripping Time Some students of ramie believe that since the fiber is best stripped when the plant is fresh it is better to use small portable decorticators in the field. But a portable ma- chine can handle only a limited amount of fiber, ranging from per- haps 50 to 100 pounds per day. Ex- ponents of wholesale methods, on the other hand, believe in cutting the plant with a modern harvest- ing machine, and hauling it in vol- ume to the processing plant. While an acre will yield 30 tons of ramie plants per annum, only one ton of fiber results. Therefore, the processing plants must be lo- cated close to the fields to reduce haulage costs. A modern harves- ter will cut from 15 to 20 acres of ramie plants per day for swift transportation to a Florida plant. After decortication the fiber is yellowish and heavy, with consider- able gum still adhering.to it. In this form it is useful for twine, cordage, halyards, fish nets and steamship engine packings. For use . in the textile industries ramie must be degummed, : Prenuptial Events For Miss Ida Hart Miss Ida V. Hart, a bride-to-be of early summer, was guest of hon- our at a kitchen shower recently at the home of Mrs. C. A. Kinnear, King Street West, by the girls of the Pay Roll Department of Fit- tings Limited. On Miss Hart's arrival, a mock wedding was staged. Miss Marion Abercrombie took the part of the minister; Miss Geraldine Norris, the bride; Miss Joan Orton, the bridegroom. The flower girl was Miss Anne Shortt; the bridesmaid, Miss Helen Clark, and the best man, Miss Gloria Attersley. All the wedding party wore weird cos-' tumes and a photographer was on hand to take pictures. The attrac- tively wrapped gifts were then pre- sented to the bride-elect. The guests also contributed a favorite recipe for a cook book which was assembled for the bride-to-be, Miss Pauline Darcy, Miss Gloria Atters- ley and Miss Shirley White served lunch. Miss Hart was again honored on Friday afternoon by her co-work- ers of the Fittings Limited office staff when she was presented with a walnut coffee table in the Dun- can Phyfe pattern, also a bride's book, bound in white velvet, with the names of the staff inscribed. The presentation was made by Mr. Bill McClennen. Diplomat's Wife Praises Doctor By KAY REX Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, March 31--(CP)--While the wife of the latest arrival to Diplomats Row has nothing but praise for the skill of Canadian physicians, at the same time she would have preferred meeting them on a less professional basis. . Two days after Frantisek Nemlee, Czechoslovak minister to Canada, arrived here with his wife and 16- year-old step-daughter, Eva Sich- rova, the latter was rushed to hos- pital with appendicitis. "But in eight days she was back home again," said Mrs. Nemlec, in a recent interview. "On the conti- nent it would have meant at least two weeks in hospital for her." Blonde Elizabeth Nemlec doesn't look old enough to have a 16-year- old daughter. Nor does that ready smile of hers betray any of the bit- ter hardship of those early war days before. she and her young daughter fled from Czechoslovakia in 1939 to escape the Germans. And it was about that time her first husband died in Dachau concentration camp. In England young Eva was sent to a boarding--chool just outside London, "It was there she picked up her English accent," laughed her mo- ther. "She is always mistaken for an English girl." Returned To Prague As soon as the continent opened up again, Mrs. Nemlec headed back to Prague, the city she had known from childhood. A brilliant In- guist, she soon was working for UNRR.A, and travelling through. out war-torn Europe. A year ago she was in New York representing Czechoslovakia at the international conference of women, arranged by Eleanor Roosevelt. She also attended U.N.R.R.A. meetings last year in Geneva, Trieste ana Venice. And, as for Canada, Mrs. Nemlec is sure she is going to like it. Al- ready she has found the people friendly. However, there has been one dis- appointment. She and her daugh- ter, both expert skiers, won't be able to venture out on the Laurentian hills this year--at least Eva won't 'be able to go, because of her recent operation. "But wait until next year," con- cluded Mrs. Nemlec, "I know it will be every bit as exci as skiin, the Alps." eg Em Social Notices Dr.CHASES GELS) eT ENGAGEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Donald Lennox wish to announce the engagement. of their only daughter, Jean Muriel, to Stanley Gilburt Jackson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Jackson, all of Osh- awa.

Mr. and Mrs, Munns have lived in Oshawa for 21 years. appears on this page. An interview --Photo by Hornsby Studio Sunshine on Wedding Day Lucky, Bride of 50 Years Ago Asserts A happy marriage is based on mutual love and respect, according to Mrs. Cuthbert Munns, North Oshawa, who should know, since she and her husband celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Satur- day. "The trouble with many of the young people today is that they ex- pect too much," she continued. "They don't want to take the rough with the smooth, and get impatient with one another. They also lay too much stress on unimportant things. A little home and good food pay better dividends in the mar- riage market than fine clothes and midnight shows. The young couple should be made to realize before- hand that married life isn't all lav- ender," she declared. Mrs. Munns, whose 90-year-old father lives in Leicestershire, Eng- land, recalled her wedding day, March 29, 1897. "It was a Sunday," she sald, "and we were married at half-past eight in the morning. There were five other couples wait- ing to be married before the eleven o'clock service. "My uncle got up at 4.30 am. and picked lilies of the valley from his garden and made them into a wreath for my hair. I wore it all day it was so lovely. I drove to church in a carriage with a pair of greys, and the driver had a white bow tied to his whip. The brides- maids arrived in the same style. A Lucky Omen "The sun shone as we left the church. It was a lucky omen and I shall never forget it." Mrs. Munns was Miss Harriet White before her marriage which took place in New Southgate, Middlesex, England. It is 41 years ago since Mr. Munns came to Canada and went to work at Meaford, Ont., where Mrs. Munns and her two children joined him. They lived in Meaford for 21 years and in 1927 the family moved to Oshawa. Mr. Munns, who will be 74 next November, is still active and works for East Whitby Township. His en- ergy is matched by that of his wife who knits and sews and does the gardening, and wants to live to be 100. She would love to fly to Eng- land, Mrs. Munns said. She went back once in 1919 with her two little irls girls. The family mow celebrating the golden wedding of their parents in cludes Mrs. Andrew Markle of Ow- en Sound, Mrs. Willlam Marnien of Westmount, Oshawa, and Miss Amy Munns, at home. Pte. Benja- min Munns, the only son, was killed at Hill 70 in the First World War and is buried in France. Mr. Munns also served in World War 1. There are five grandchildren and four great grandchildren. "Both Mr. and Mrs. Munns are musical. Her father conducted the brass band in which Mr. Munns played the cornet and she played first baritone. She recalled playing carols at Christmastime, and the warm hospitality meted out to them, symbolic of the way of life before the turn of the century.

TORONTO IN 1946 The industrial growth of the To- ronto area is exemplified by an all- time high of 365 acres of factory sites purchased during 1946, greater than the combined figures for the two previous years.

Here's an answer from the letter of two high school boys: "We have been following your col- umn for several months and were particularly interested in the article recently where the subject under discussion was necking. "Our hats are off to the young lady who wrote it. "It's true, as you said, that not only boys who are in their 20's but also 'teen-agers respect girls who do not neck with every Tom, Dick and Harry the first time they are out together. "When we take girls out, we don't expect them to neck with us or give us a goodnight kiss right off the bat. We're inclined to think of that as, cheap rather than as being so- ciable, "All that we expect from a girl is for her to be pleasant, good fun and respectable. We 'have found that often when we are in a four- some, singing popular songs helps to overcome shyness or any self- consciousness.

"Boys often talk about dates that | they have had and we are easily impressed, either favorably or un- favorably, Nothing helps us get a poor impression more than a girl who wants to start "smooching' the minute we get into the car, Girls should remember that, in all prob- ability, the boys they are out with are just as shy as they are, and necking during the first date is one of the surest ways we know of be- coming unpopular," | Graham, One | Personals unts of soclal events and of visitors to and from the city are appreciated by this department Miss Ada E.
