WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE | PAGE NINE Veterans' Graves Tended By Loving Hands of French By DOROTHY SMITH Canadians who are planning to visit the graves of loved ones who fell in the Battle of Normandy, "are strongly advised by Mrs. Allan L. Smith .to postpone their trip . overseas for another year, 'Mrs. Smith a former president 'of the Montreal Local Council of Women, and now treasurer of the . Nation: Council, returned hom2 with her husband this week on the Empress of Canada after three months in England and on the continent. Mr. and Mrs, Smith visited the grave of their son, Licut. T Angus McCoy Smith, who is bureid at Beny-sur-Mer. This war cemetery overlooks one of the invasion beaches where the Canadians and British landed for the invasion of France. Farther inland, the cemetery at Brest- ville.sur-Laize, is the other large cemetery where many Canadians have their las. resting place. Official Care Both cemeteries ar~ extremely well kept, thanks to the Imperial War Graves Commission, Ts. Smith reported. Over and above the official care given the graves of Canadians, a grateful people have formed an organization known as the France-Great Brit- ain Association, to give individual care to graves which are "adopt- ed" by ths people of the surround. ing towns and country, and to as- sist next-of-kin from Canada who ma wish to visit these graves, Mrs. Smith explained that this organization grew out of the grat- itude of the people of Normandy for their liberation by the Cana- dians. While this is not a good time to visit Normandy due to difficulties of travel and lack of accommodation in the war-torn areas, )M J. Smith advises next-of- kin who must make the trip to first contact the France-Great Britain Association. The person to write to is V. A, Priout, 4 rue Le Bailly, Caen, France. Mr, Priout is a retired professor of English at the University of Caen, and vice-president of the associa. tion. He wil] make arrangements for hotel accommodation facili. tate' travel arrangements, and give helpful advice on how to reach te cemetery, etc, One Hotel Only In view of the fact that only one hotel is left standing in the city of Caen, such assistance is in- valuable. Mrs, Smith mentioned tthat people who went on their own, without contacting this org- Anization, have encountered many difficulties. The Smiths, who spent three weeks near the ceme.- tery where their som is buried, were housed in a charming little hotel at nearby Luc-sur-Mer, Mr. and Mrs, Smith are happy to have seen their son's last rest. ing place, and the country around Caen where he fell while on loan to the British Army, fighting with the South Staffordshire Regiment, "We feel closer to him now," Mrs, Smith said, She does feel, however, that in a year or two from pow condi- tions in France will be much bet- ter for travelling and visiting the war cemeteries.

Foster Parents Get Babies to Match wi --If you want to adopt a baby Manitoba your chances of getting the traditional blue-eyed girl or brown-haired boy are slim, says Sidney McArton, assistant di- rector of I branch <3 the province's health d ent. There are 250 applications on file and only about 200 babies are adopted each year, half of them in the Greater Winnipeg area. It's a happy job, matching home- less babies with babyless: homes, says McArton, Girls are in greatest demand because "the wife thinks it would be easier to bring up a " and because she usually wants a litle girl as a companion for her- self. Parents want quite young bables to bring up as their own from the beginning. Doctors, psychiatrists and social workers "mateh" the baby to the new parents. Appear- ance, color of eyes and hair, phy- sique, religion and other matters are considered. "If the baby comes from & father and mother with musical ability we try to find a home where music is appreciated. Background may be. a questionable factor in the ability a child develops but at least we give it every chance," says Miriam Ferns, one of the three. adoption workers, "As for there being a black market in babies--where there is trafficking in bables for money-- I'd say it just doesn't exist.

Here are two examples seen often enough in the glaring light of the sun to 'call for a few words of warning. Take eyebrows plucked for er outlines, A slight of stragglers: might escape the notice of even the gimlet-eyed when you are indoors, but not so when the sun's powerful searchlight "picks up" the strays, If you're in' the habit of plucking out brow hairs, better ply your tweezers before® you go to the beach. Take bleached or dyed hair Made more glaring under the bright light of the sun is the dark line of demarcation between a girl's own hair-color and the artificial one she wears. Beachgoing time is not the time for her to skip her touch-ups, if she wants to keep her colors dodge a secret.

ANE 0 Babies in Britain Share Carriages It's a good thing Mrs. Jackson and Mrs, Johnson are such pals .... and it looks as though their babies will grow up pals as well-- because Northwich, in the North- west of England, where the Jack- sons and the Johnsons live, is suf. fering from an acute shortage of baby carriages. So now, when the two Mrs. J's go shopping, they pile 'all their bables into the same car- riage. The reason why they're so short in Britain today is the boom in babies--plenty of carrlnges are being produced but they still can't keep up with the babies! And prac- tically no perambulators were made during the war. So, the 'good neighbor policy' takes on another angle--it's com munal carriages now. . Along the main street of North- wich, it is rarely that you'll see a single baby in a 'pram'. The other day, 109 baby carriages were count- ed; only seven had single babies in them, the rest were carrying several babies or toddlers, and often two women were taking it in turn to push one pram. carriages are promised soon. Meanwhile, Britain's mothers are making do and sharing,--and--the baby boom continues! > WoMEN!

Coffee tables, end tables anc occasional chairs are favor- ites, or perhaps a small bookcase. Card tables that double for fire" screens with attractive pictures to brighten up the room are becom- ing popular, Card table sets are hand¥ in any home, being compact while away in the cupboard, rnd easy to put up for a quick bridge game, Mirrors in all sizes and shapes for the living room, kitchen or bedroom are available at furniture stores, and floor lamps and table lamps are favorite gifts, For the bedroom there gre gaily decoratetd mats but be sure they will fit into the bride's chogen scheme. - Bedside tables or lamps make a useful gift and fancy sheets and pillowcases, bed- spreads and blankets will be of lasting service. Crystal is frequently chosen by shopp-rs, from delicate bud vases to wine glasses and cocktail glasses. Again it's a good idea to find out before you buy what pat- tern the bride has chosen. Gift shops carry wide selections of trays, dishes and useful knick- knacks in hammered aluminum and brass. These are chosen as wedding gifts more frequently th: . ever and are attractive ar. ticles fo. the new home. Another suggestion is Indian or Chinese brass, if you think your particu- lar bride's taste will run to that type of thing, Vafes of all shapes and sizes, candlesticks, egg cups, trays, stamp boxes, dinner bells and many other oddments in brass are again appearing in local stores. Homemakers who "know the ropes" might choose some article for the kitchen that they have found particularly useful. Pots and pans and ovenware will be welcomed; everyday trays, a bread box, cookie bin or set of tins for flour, sugar, tea and cof- fee. Toasters, irons, coffee mak- ers and tea pots are old favorites. Or fomething a little different might be an electric clock enamel- ed in tones to match her kitchen cupboards and curtains, If you know the silver pattern thy bride is saving or if she is buying her china in pieces, she will be grateful for additions to her collection in these lines, Leaf Under Cap Protects Hair A famed sportswoman, says she keeps her hair from baking dry on the tennis courts by putting a fresh cabbage or lettuce leaf under her cap. Try this trick, if you pursue a sport under the hot sun, and want to keep moisture in your hair. Don't think that you can wander around for hours bareheaded in the sun and escape the penalty of over- exposure. A little sunlight is tonic for your hair. Too much will drain color and spirit off the olls that keep hair lively and glossy. To be on the safe side, limit the sun-bath that you give your hair to ten or 15 minutes a day. Stuff a bandanna or scarf in your beach bag to use as a shield after your head has had its brief sunning. Telephone Adelaide 5231 Toronto OR YOUR TRAVEL AGENT SSENGTER . AIR M NTERNA TRANSL.

TRA OCEAN Putting Ginger "Into High Kicks The girl who skips her hip exer- cises because they're so dull should bring her beach ball down from the attic and turn a dreary routine into a snappy game. That's the discovery of actresses who need to hold the line and are as bored by dull exercises as you. One star's routine of turning a boring stint into a game also puts more ginger into the high kicks that exercise hip muscles. Try her game, and see if you aren't more willing to go back to your exercise day after day. Begin lying on your back on the floor with legs up, hips also up and braced by hahds and the ball bal- anced over the soles of both feet. After the kick-off, the trick is to keep the ball in the air by kicking with might and main first with one leg, then the other. .
