Rodgers and his wife and family who spent all the war years I felt that a meeting should be arranged between th em. Mr. Rodgers and I waited patient- ly in the drawing-room of the col- lege and shortly a petite figure ap- peared in the lofty double doorway. "I am so sorry I am not in native dress," was her first remark after introductions had been made, "but it is so damp, and I feel the cold on my back." Small and neat, she | was wearing a grey silk dress, print- ed with fuchsia flowers and touth- | es of green, with a pale grey coat thrown over her,shoulders. Her dark hair wag brushed into a. pompadour and softly waved and curled at the back, As she talked, and memories came flooding back, she had a trick of screwing up her brown eyes in a merry way. y Distant Friends To an onlooker this meeting was a memorable one; to the two par- ticipants it will be unforgettable. Every sentence began with "Do you know. . . " or "Do you rmember. . «..." or "What happened to..." and I could see that many hitherto missing pieces in a jig-saw puzzle were being fitted into place. Mr. Rodgers produced a scrap- book full of pictures and cuttings of the grim days of Japanese occu DR. JOSEFA ILLANO pation that they both shared. What exquisite pleasure it was when they found mutual friends therein. "Why, here is the Lim family," exclaimed Dr. Illano, "they are my best friends." "They are ours t00," rejoined Mr, Rodgers, "We had a. letter from them this week, and they still have our ducks.

I'm proud to hear that of my friends, Venancia and Alegria." : A typical picture of palms against a setting sun ¢aught her eye. "The most beautiful sunsets in all the world are across Manila Bay," she mused. Mr, Rodgers, who as a mis- sionary has travelled widely, readily agreed. "Perhaps the sunsets at home are always the best," I inter- jected. MR. A. G. RODGERS Mr. Rodgers spoke of the Manila Sanitarium to which Dr, Illano who graduated in medicine and had a tients for the medical skill and at- tention available there. The hospi- tal had been ruf ) 2ssly destroyed from the inside by delayed explo- sives after the Jaranese withdraw- al. . Sweet Memories They spoke of the main streets, given Japanese names; of the de- vastation; of the doctors, dentists and government officials they had both known,--proudly of some, sad- ly of others. Not a word of bitter- ness, even of the betrayers, was ut- tered. All too soon the meeting had to end. "We share such joy and sad- ness", explained Dr. Illano. "Joy for those who, now that it is all over, are together again, and sad- returning in September, and I long "Remember me to thé Lims," from lish friends speak of them often." And with sincere wishes we left. Thus ended the meeting of Dr. Josefa Illano who was presented to President Truman as an outstand- ing woman from the Orient, and Mr. Albert G. Rodgers, executive secre- tary of the Ontario-Quebec Confer- ence of the Seventh Day Adventists who bears the Asiatic-Pacific Cam- paign ribbon awarded to those "who have by their fortitude and courage, contributed materially to the suc- cess of the Philippine campaign." Two who have shared the glorious adventure of living. \ y / Versatile Woman Wins High Honors Vancouver--(CP)--Life began at 40 with distinction for Dr. Honor M. Kidd, well-known West-coast business woman, journalist, histor- ian, economist and doctor. Dr. Kidd is the first woman and the first Canadian to be awarded the coveted Osler Medal in histor- ical medicine. The energétic doctor describes herself as the "black sheep" of the family since nowhere in her back- ground has medicine been a career. At the age of 21, she began work with her father in the grocery busi- ness, in 1932 rising to director of a chain of stores. At 36 she spent six months taking a pre-medical pourse. She describes herself as "not an exceptional student," but the American Association of Historical Medicine differed with her, honor- ing her research and report on a B. C, doctor and politician, Dr. J. 8. Helmcken, by awarding her the Os- ler Medal. Her thesis was publish ed by Johns Jopkins Medical School. Dr. Kidd was for two years edi- tor of the national medical publica- tion and at the same time presi- dent of the Medical Women's So- clety. She has returned to eastern Can- ada to take her internship at Mon- _ treal's Royal Victoria Hospital. HOUSEHOLD HINT When you heat milk, it is sug- gested that you keep the pan cov- ered. Some of milk's vitamins are destroyed by light, and milk also heats faster when covered. Once it has reached the boiling point, the milk will hold its boil with less heat underneath, and the .cover also helps prevent the "skin" from form- ing. There's just one catch to this method, however; youll have to watch the milk closely because it bolls over easily. SPECIAL 7 TAMBLYN'S 6 King E.

Floherty. "Behind the Microphone takes us backstage in 'radio broadcasting. It is an entertaining and informative story of radio from its early days until the present. This book is not written for the person interested in | the technical end of radio but rath- er, it is for the person who wants to know such things as, what spec- ial qualities radio announcers need." First Mr. Floherty tells us briefly of the early experiments which gave us radio. Radios and radio broadcasting in the early twentieth certainly seem old-fashioned com- pared to present-day radios and methods. It took about as much time educating both listeners and performers ag it did to perfect the radio. "Behind the Microphone" tells us about sound effects--how some are produced and just how important a part they play in radio programs, Radio networks, national hook-ups, sustaining programs and terms such as these are explained by means of an interview between Mr. Flo- herty and a radio official. The important part that adver- tising plays in radio, is explained. We discover how a radio program grows from being the brain-child of an advertising man to being the smooth finished programs that we listen to from dur easy chairs. Here also we read of how a fog-horn talks and a "bob-white" sells soap. Although most of the book is de- voted to describing large radio sta- tions and network programs, Mr. Floherty does tell us about the small "home town" radio stations which he says are "the heart and soul of radio." Inside each individual studio one of the most important persons is the program director. It is he who must establish and keep the good- will of the public. Many people must work together to produce the programs--a radio station must have good directors, script men, musicians, announcers, technicians, etc, or élse 'Mr. John Public will Just not listen to that station, nor will he buy the products that it ad. vertises, and that would mean dis aster {or the station. To most listeners, announcing seems to be quite an easy job, but "Behind the Microphone" shows us that good announcers must be well educated, be interested in almost everything, and also be able to stand a lot of teasing and even abuse, if they so much as make even one small slip while talking. The 'idea that news must be given to the radio public almost as soon as it occurs has This was especially true in war time. . News commentators are important people in the radio world of today,--thus to be a successful commentator one must possess special qualities and also be willing to work hard and long very fre- quently. Mr. Floherty ends his book with the story of how one of the most , important radio executives became successful. He makes it quite clear that if you choose radio as your vocation you must be willing to work hard. He concludes by say- ing that most people in radio be- lieve that it is all worthwhile. "Behind the Microphone" is writ ten in an interesting style. It seems as you read the book, that Mr. Flo- herty is talking to you personally. There are many true experiences related throughout the book, such as examples of "slips" radio an- nouncers have made. There are many illustrations sprinkled throughout the book. They are actual photographs, most of them taken by the author. These photographs add much to the in- terest. For a concise and interesting pic- ture of the radio world in America, read "Behind the Microphone" by John J. Floherty.

Britain to Boost Textile Exports London--(CP)--Larger supplies of United Kingdom fabrics are to be sent overseas. It is part of a plan to reduce Britain's adverse balance of payments, and, since it is directed primarily at the hard currency areas, should help bring in badly needed dolfars. It is hoped to achieve a new ex- pansion in textile shipments through increased' production and not at the expense of the home market, which" is already strictly rationed for all forms of clothing. This means that the manufacturers will be able to concentrate still more closely on their specialized lines for overseas markets, on Harris tweeds, fine cottons and woollens. led many radio|Try a Times.Gazette classified ad news into - dangerous adventures. for quick and 'sure. results.

From Niagara Falls, Ont, was Miss Florence Linney, 2 Ww Stunning New Robes For La Tallulah New York--(CP)--The curtain went up on what will be one of the coming dramatic season's big at- tractions when Tallulah Bankhead gave a one-woman show of mono- logue and impressiong for the fash- jon press at the Mainbocher salon. The occasion was the final fit- ting" and inspection of the pcyns the dressmaker had designed for the famous star to wear in a rev.- val of Noel Coward's play, "Pri- vate Lives." As Miss Bankhead modelled and posed for photographers it seemed a shame that she is forced in her plays to stick to lines and situa- tions devised by playrights. Miss Bankhead by herself, unrehearsed, and giving a free rein to her fam- ous sense of humor, can entrance an audience. "It isn't the heat, my dear, it's just sheer nerves that took the wave out of my hair," she said. "You see I'm not really used to modelling." Her ash-blonde hair looked as sleek as usual. First design in the group of four created for the character, Amanda, was a printed crepe dressing gown in tawny brown, black and white. Cut on princess lines it had a wide square collar heavily embroidered with crystal and brown beads. "I wear the dressing 'gown in the play right after I have taken my bath," Miss Bankhead said. Ques- tioned about the six-strand pearl necklace she wore with it, she add- ed briskly, "I often wear pearls in the bathtub." "Bankhead blue," Mainbocher's newest color the shade of the star's eyes, appeared in a crepe dinner dress with moulded bodice, full swinging skirt, with a long scarf of the fabric criss-crossed over the neckline to fall to the floor on both sides of the back. The front of the bodice and the belt were embroi- dered with medallions of crystal and pearl beads. Two shades of deep rose-red were used in lounging pyjamas, the fitted blouse having triangular in- serts of the darker shade below the bosom, The slim trousers had swinging floor-length panels giving the illusions of a skirt. The fourth costume, a daytime ensemble of yellow and white silk shantung polka-dotted with white included a simple short-sleeved dress with a round high neck. The matching full-length coat had a new full rippling back and a matching hat of the same material was decorated with diamond clips.
