MONDAY, JUNE 9, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN - Y Couple Fifty Years Married Moved Here from Roseneath S| Accounts of social events Residents of Oshawa for the past % years, Mr. and Mrs, George Montgomery who celebrated their anniversary recent- have lived in the same house on Jarvis Street since they came here from Roseneath, Ont. Canadian-born for generations back, they were both born at Rose- neath, Ont., were married in Char- lotte and spent their honeymoon at Rochester, N.Y. The former Miss Isabella Roberts, whose father was a school teacher at Otonabee for many years, has carried on the teaching tradition in her own fam- ily. Her eldest son, Mr. Ray Morn. gomery, B.A., is the principal of a school in Vancouver, and a daugh- ter, Muriel, of North Bay, is also a achool teacher. The famil y held at the home of their ve My Nora (Mrs, A. T. Edwards), Athol Street, to celebrate the anniversary was a complete surprise to Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, who are still enjoying the cards, gifts and flowers they received. Month of Anniversaries May is a month of anniversaries for<them. They were married in May, 1807, their first son was born in May the following year, and two daughters and a grandson all cele- brate their birthdays during the month. When asked why she thought so many weddings end in separation nowadays, Mrs. Montgomery she felt the girls' mothers were a good deal to blame, "Mothers don't teach their girls to cook and keep house as they should," she said. "Some girls get married to give up work, not with the idea of starting a different kind of work. And too many young people get married without being thoroughly acquaint- ed," she added. The ten children of the family are Mrs. J. E. Hendricks (Beryl, Mrs. Jack Noddle (Lottie), Mr. Ger- ald Montgomery and Mr. Stacey Montgomery, all of Toronto; Mrs. A.J. Blair (Muriel) of North Bay; Mrs. Oressa Daniels, Welland; Mr. Ray Montgomery of Vancouver, B. C.; Mr. Fred Montgomery, Mr. Mel- ville Montgomery and Mrs. A. T. Bdwards (Nora), all of Oshawa. Life Begins Anew For 3-Year-Old "Mr. and Mrs, Geoffrey Thwaites of Bletchley, England, have adopt- ed a son, Richard, aged 3." That announcement in the soc- ia) column of The London Times is a happy sequel to a tragedy of the London blitz. When the smoke and dust of a 1944 flying bomb near Euston Sta- tion, London, N.W., abated, rescue workers found a three-months-old baby boy lying on the rubble, un- h but alone. Te child was poorly dressed but well cared for. There was no clue to his identity. And now that child has begun a new life with the name Robin Richard Thwaites, son of a pros- perous Buckinghamshire family. Mr. and Mrs. Thwaltes, who have a daughter of seven, wanted to adopt a baby, but could not find one they felt suitable. "We adopted him. It took a great deal of legal paraphernalia, be- cause there were no parents or re- latives to give permission." Shopping by Air Cinch for Pair Bdmonton (CP).--Two Edmonton women started a unique personal shopping service for women in northern outposts who can make only rare visits to civilization. Mrs. Betty Smith and Mrs. 8. 8. Blanchard will arrange for hotel, train and other reservations, ar- range appointments with the doctor or beauty parlor and even com- pletely organize a wedding. They got the idea from Christ" mas shopping excursions which Mrs. Blanchard, widow of Wing Cmdr. S. Blanchard, used to make for people up the North West Staging Route. 8he shopped for air force and army personnel stationed in out-of-the- way places in the north. , So enthusiastically was this ser- vice received that last year the two women travelled up the Alaska highway, taking shopping orders from construction camp workers. They plan to make several trips up forth each year to take orders and also make personal contacts. They say they are willing to buy anyth that can possibly be bought. There is only one request they will refuse point blank--no baby-sitting jobs. Princess Gets Own Secreta London, June 8-- (AP)--Princess Elizabeth, whose desk work has grown with her coming of age in her first. Buckingham Palace announced the temporary appointment to that post of John Rupert Colville, 33- year-old member of the foreign ser- vice and grandson of the first Vis- count Colville of Culross. Colville's mother, Lady Cynthia Colville, is a daughter of the Mar- quess of Crewe and lady-in-waiting to Queen Mary. Colville served for a time as a private secretary to two former prime ministers, Neville Chamber- lain and Winston Churchill, "Operation Peace' On Domestic Front Johannesburg (CP).--Deep in the Burma jungles during the war, a British officer, Maj. C. J. Bridgman, civilization he wanted "a job that was different." He spoke to a col- league--Maj. A. D. Bertram--about it and they have started it in Johannesburg now--much to the satisfaction of the city's absent- said | minded husbands, Bridgman and Bertram claim to be the Golden City's first "uni- versal hosts." Part of their scheme is a re- minder service, which enables hubby to arrive home on the all- important wedding anniversary with the appropriate gift for his wife. Domestic squabbles over family for- getfulness are mow a thing of the past for some people who let the two men do their remembering. A telephone call reminder now en- sures that they call for wives at the right time, or remember mother-in- law's birthday. They will meet business men from various parts of the world and show them around, provide a secre- tarial service, "mothcy the mag- nates" and take Mrs. Brown's fav- orite poodle for its morning airing. Italian Boy, 9, Acclaimed in Paris Paris--A little boy in blue velvet is the toast of Paris. Recently, when he should have been home in bed, Pierino Gamba, 9, was conducting a full symphony orchestra at the Palais de Chaillot. He was soy good the audience nearly rioted. After he finished Beethoven's' Fifth Symphony, there was a second of silence, then ear-splitting ap- plause. Pierino came back for bow after bow--hopping and skipping back and forth into the wings. But the audience of 3,000 persons was wild. People rushed past the front seats and onto the stage. Police pulled some of them off, including an 11- year-old girl who clung to Pierino's neck. Admirers shouted "bravo" uatil they were hoarse. Even the 90 members of the La- moureux Symphony Orchestra, who felt the bite of Pierino's tempera- ment, joined in the ovation. For Pierino, that was the final accolade--better even than choco- late candy and electric trains, which he values above music. From the first mote to the last, Pierino was calm. During the con- cert he was the perfect maestro. But when it was all over he was a dittle boy again--a little Italian boy in a white silk shirt and blue velvet shorts--who may be a genius. Come 2,600 Miles To Find a House Mr. and Mrs. George Wales, of Scotland, flew to Canada because they could not find a house in Britain. "It is hopeless," said Flora Wales as she waited with 18-month-old baby Margaret at London Airport. "We have been living with my mother-in-law for years. Now we have a place to live in Albion, Van- couver." Said George Wales: "We lived in comfort at Moss-road, Glasgow. But everyone wants their own house. "I looked and looked. I went to agents, and my wife wore out her feet walking round trying. It was no good on the amount we could afford to pay. : "I didn't want to go, but I had to find a house somewhere--even if it was 2,600 miles away." . For Good Snapshot of a Group Get Unifying Point of Interest 5 (The New York Times) * The usual family-album snap- shot of the picnic, the hiking party, .

Have somebody start to dole out the sandwiches and every- body either reaching out for one or looking in anticipation toward the sandwich pile. Immediately the whole group is knit together as a unit. Everybody is interested in just one thing--sandwiches. Shoot On a hiking trip you can try a similar idea. Individuals are strung out in a disconnected line.

Standing in a sort of semi-circle around the person holding the speci_ men, they form a unit--and a group. The primary technique of the group picture is to get everyone interested in the same thing and to get. them all close together so that the scene looks convinecing. Point of Interest Let the group arrange itself. All the photographer should do is fur- nish the unifying point of interest of every individual in the company.

SCHOOL LUNCHES "You can't fill the head when the stomach is empty" the health au- thorities remind Canadian parents. When mothers are preparing those box lunches which' the children take | to school, the medical exrerts sug- gest that substantial and sustaining foods be included. Not just sand- wiches with fillings "painted" on. These won't give the children the | energy they need in coping with | their studies--or play. Wife Preservers 2-6 E Geo.

TIPS FOR TEENS -- Should I "I used to have fun with a crowd of girls and boys in my neighbor- hood, tut now there's a boy in the crowd who doesn't like me," writes a high school girl. "What should I do? Do you think I should stop go- ing around with them? I hate to give them up, because I get along fine with all the others, but this boy's remarks make me feel bad. then I wonder if I should stop going to their parties." It would be ideal if -everybody liked us, but it's inevitable that some won't, because we're all so different. So don't brood about the ones who decide you're not their dish. Don't think about whether they like you or not; forget it and think about liking them. Concentrate on their good points, the qualities you like best in themn. Compliment them on their fine qualities and tell their friends what you like abput them, so they'll pass on the good word. Tell Bill that you think Jack has 4 the nicest smile and that smile will Give Up My Crowd? By ELINOR WILLIAMS beam on you. Compliment Joan on ber backhand stroke and she'll like to play tennis with you. You can do this sincerely, because everybody has admirable qualities and talent or ability of one kind or another and we all love to have it recogniz- ed, acknowledged and praised. Ignore that boy's remarks. When he sees that they don't bother you and that your other friends all like you, he'll probably stop being dis- agreeable and forget the whole thing. Meanwhile, give him your friend- liest smile. See that he hag a big share of the spotlight during par- ties, too, in case there's a little green-eyed jealousy behind his re- marks. In this way, perhaps you can gradually win his friendship. If not, enjoy your friends' and forget him.

Deplore Beauty Contests Beauty contests among university women students were the subject of strong protest at the annual meet- ing of St. Hilda's College Alumnae Association Saturday in Toronto. A resolution forwarded from the Can- adian Federation of University Wo- men was endorsed by a large ma- jority of members who deplored the false sense of values developed by such contests, Football Wears Out Shoes and Is Taboo Boys in some schools of Austria are forbidden to play football be- cause it wears out their precious shoes, according to Shirley Washer, Canadian Save-the-Childien Fund in Austria, Shoes are desperately needed by | European children, and the first question asked by relief workers when a shipment of clothing ar- rives is, "Are there any shoes?" In one school in Hungary out of 150 children only three had shoes. Of- ten children are unable to get to| the surplementary feeding stations because they have no shoes, said the Canadian representative. Toys are almost as scarce as shoes "and teys are amost as essential as food to the unhappy children in the war devastated countries." Kinder gartens are hard pressed for toys to keep tire children occupied. Mus. F. Charlton, in charge of the clothing depot at 111 Mait'and Street, Toronto 5, says her packers will welcome small toys that can be easily packed. Little rubber dolls, marbles, soft dolls and animals "will bring untold joy to Eurcpean child- ren." "Do not send metal or wooden toys," she reminds. The Canadian Save-the-Children Fund plans to buy amd ship over- seas 5 tons of chocolate for bever- age, 20 tons of rowdered milk, blan- kets, sheeting and also 5,000 tons of cod liver oil purchased in Norway. Donations of money to make these possible may be sent to the Cana- dian Save-the-Children Fund at 108 Bloor W, Toronto 5. Proper Tactics Flatter Women There is charm in the way you | accept a ccmpliment. And pay one, The least charming, though well- intentioned, thing you can say to a wecman wearing a new bonnet is: "What a pretty hat!" The wearer won't feel ccemplimented, because your remark implies no credit to her; all to the hat. The woman who wears a care- fully-chosen ensemble--hat, shoes, dress and bag packaged for one ef- fect--will wince if you single out her hat or dress for praise. She will think she has failed in creating her effect, if one item stands out from the ensemble enough to draw indi- vidual comment. . If you want to pay a compliment te a woman's finery, simply tell her that she looks lovely. : When the tables are turned and you are the one who accepts such a compliment, accept it by sayingg, "How nice of you to tell me." Or "I'm going to like this dress better now that I know you do." Don't hurry a compliment right by e giver by saying "You look lovely, too." Such tactics are awkward, even embarrassing to the woman who hag been gracious enough to praise you. There's more finesse in biding your time. Wait until she herself appears in some- thing that warrants your telling her with complete sincerity how lovely she looks. Pretzels Useful For Decorations There's a new hint for party fun: Pretzels are really amazingly handy for impromptu decorations. The little sticks cam always be used to spell out names or to print the words "Happy Birthday" or "Wel- come Home" or "Here's to the Bride," etc.,, or whatever the ap- propriate sentiment may be. Amus- ing decorative effects can be achieved by inserting pretzel sticks into an orange or grapefruit to re- semble a bristling porcupine and then tipping each stick with a square of cheese or a segment of tangerine or even a slice of banana. Regular twisted pretzels in small and large sizes can be used to form a geometric pattern in the center of the table for a boy's party. Or the big ones can be tied together with bits of ribbon te form an amusing stripe down the center of an otherwise unadorned table, J a s | | | of toilet ammonia. | enough for the one application, as | lems, but tortunately for mosc the His Aim, Says Missionary To Work Himself out of Job Royalty Strikes Sole Style Note Downs, England, June 8-- (Cr)--ixcept for the Royal family, Epsom crowds waich saw Pearl Di- ver win the 168th running of the British Derby Saturday gave fash- lon writers little to rave about.

Superfluous Hair Is a'Keal Problem | Some woman have cause to 'be sensicive about some beauty prob- proolems are not serious enough to make them actually unhappy. But for quite a few there is one prob- lem that seems to cause quite a bis of unhappiness. It is that of "su- periluous hair." Authorities would like to be able to write a 'safe, sure, and permanent" method of disposing of it, but unfortunately, it can't be done. * But if the growin is light, here are a few hints on how to camouflage it. The simplest thing to do with unwanted hair on the arms, or that faint moustache on the upper lip, is .to. bleach it. You may use a prepared bleach or mix your own, using two paris of peroxide to one Prepare just the solution lcses its strength, and will be no good later, Touch this mixture to the hairs two or three times daily. Repeated careful bleaching causes the hairs to become dry and brittle, and they are easily rubbed off. Sometimes a few coarse, isolated hairs are bothersome; these may be pulled with tweezers. Wash the skin first with a clean towel, and then with one quick -jerk pull out the hair in the direction in which it grows. Dab the spot with a cold boric acid solution or surgical alcohol to pre- vent possible infection or an en- larged pore. Follow Instructions Nearly every well-known cosmetic manufactur:r kas a depilatory wax that may be used for removing fa- | The instructions on the | cial hair. label should be carefully followed to the last detail, otherwise the | marked. During treatment may prove ineffective, disappointing, or even dangerous. Briefly, the general procedure for | wax treatment involves washing the skin and applying dusting pow- der before spreading on the wax. When the wax has hardened, it is pulled with one quick tug in the direction in which the hair grows. The sharper the tug -the less pain- ful the removal. The area is then sponged with antiseptic or astring- ent solution, and a face cream ap- plied. The hair will, of course, grow again, but not for some time. The essential thing in' this process is: read the instructions carefully and follow them exactly. Electrolysis is the- only perman- ent method of removing superflu- ous hair. It cannot be done at home. Rather, one must put one- self in the hands of a skilled oper- ator, who, with a delicate electric needle, will "electrocute" the hairs, one by one. The treatment is long and expensive, Social Notices A 1) Marriage Announcements $1.00 ENGAGEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Harry Glover wish to announce the engagement of their daughter, Winnifred Mae, to Mr. George Robert Killen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Killen. The marriage will take place quietly on June 28 at Hampton. dob B Mr. and Mrs. Ewart Diamond, Myrtle Station, announce the en- gagement of their daughter, Ruth Isebelle, to Earl Edward Follest, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chester Follest, Oshawa. The marriage will take place on Saturday, June 21, at 2 p.m. in Prospect United Church. It pays to use Times-Gazette want ads--they get results, "The missionary's aim is to work himself out of a job," said the Rev. Alfred L. Day, United Church mise sionary on his first furlough from - West China, yesterday morning in Simcoe Street United Church. That this aim is being accomplished was proved by another statement, "If we couldn't send any more mission aries to China, the work would go on for the Church is there." Yesterday morning's address was of special interest because it was given by a young man, making, as it were, his first report to his sup- porters. He gave an intimate pice ture of the young missionary's life from the time he applied to the Foreign (now called Overseas) Mis- sion Board. He told of boarding the 8.8. Em- press of Russia in Novi er, 4939, at Victoria and wav! ood-by te the people on the dock \although he did not know them, but the other passengers did the same. He re- minded his hearers that on the _ voyage to Japan one sights the Aleutian Islands, so far north lies the route. Thrill In Nagasaki He recalled the thrill he had In Nagasaki when he attended a com- munion service at which were des- cendants of the first Japanese Christians, men who had remained loyal to the new faith even when the early missionaries had been forced to leave the country by the government. Then came the slow trip frcm the port in French Indo-China by rail- way to the Burma road and four days by truck to Chungking on a road witr 18 hairpin turns in a single half-tnile. Looking over a precipice, he would see other trucks which had not been so for- tunate as his until that time. Language study at the Language School in Chengtu was amusingly described, also a young student's elforts with his language teacher and salesmen. After one year at the school, Mr. Day and his wife were appointed to a mission station where for another year they did little but language study, he re- the following three years he gradually entered in- to mission work, at first taking the morning chapel service in the hos- pital or a school, but annual exam- inations in the language had to be tried for five years in all Tea Shops Useful Chinese tea shops, the speaker revealed, are good centres for evan- gelistic work as Chinese gather there for amusement, for business deals and for informal peoples courts. After paying for one's first bowl of tea, more water for the leaves in the bcwl can be ordered for hours on end without any extra charge, he disclosed. The speaker provoked amuse- ment as he told of Chinese chil- dren giving foreigners the nick- name, "kao pi tzu," (literally, high nose) because their noses protrude more than do Chinese noses. "How much does your governs ment pay you for coming here?" is a frequent question asked mission- aries, said Mr, Day. A profound impression is made when mission- aries answer that they have been sent, not by their government, but by the Christian Church. This, Mr. Day added, often furnishes a good opening for conversation about the purpose of the missicnary. Four of the mission stations in the West China field aré at pres- ent without missionaries. Of the eight boys' schools foimerly con- ducted by the General Board, only one is now open but the Mission still shares in one union school, the speaker reported. The Wo- man's Missionary Society has kept a missionary in each of its schools, however. Bears Greetings The Chinese Presbytery and Conference commigsioned him, Mr. Day said, to bear ®heir greeting to the Church in Canada and to bring back with him more missionaries to work with the Church ¢® Christ in China. Mr. Day showed two pages of the Bible printed at the West China Mission Press from mats smuggled from Shanghai when the Japanese took possession of the city. He also exhibited a Christian weekly and a children's monthly, Happy Childhood. The latter, founded by Mrs. Donald McGilli- vary of the Canadian Presbyterian. Mission and now -edited for some years by Miss Margaret Brown, the only United Church W.M.S. worker in Shanghai, was the only publica- tion of its kind published in China during the war, Mr. Day revealed. Anotler interesting exhibit was a small edition of a Chinese hymn book with tunes printed in Chinese style. The paper was made of bamboo pulp, a wartime substitute. A display of Chinese embroidery, shoes and chopsticks was set forth after the service and many persons took advantage of the opportunity to examine them. The children, before leaving the auditorium for their own service, heard Mr. Day sing two hymns in Chinese especially for them. Mr, Day, said the Rev. A. D. Cor- nett, D.D., introducing' him, is the son of a United Church minister in the Saskatchewan Conference and a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan and St. Andrew's (theological) College, Saskatoon.
