PAGE SIX THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1947 Must Stand for Christian Ethic, Prevent War, British Woman Urges A of social events and of | If the women of the world stand for another war they're not worthy of the name of women, Mrs. Nancy Anderson, national vice-president of the Business and Professional Women's Clubs of Great Britain and Ireland, told a dinner meeting of the ®shawa Business and Profes- sional Women's Club in Adelaide House last night. "Women know that war is waste," she declared. "They know theyre is nothing beautiful, nothing art about it. They know it's a waste. It's a waste of young lives." "If we believe in the Christian ethic, that we are responsible for people in other parts of the world, then we should bind ourselves to- gether, somehow or other, to stop this dreadful curse," she continued, reminding that this generation has a responsibility to those who will - come after. Job Of Leading to the responsibility of Canadians and the possibilities of their "lovely land", Mrs. Anderson warned that this country may be asked to do "a great job of lead- ing." 'The old land is not done for, but it is very tired, she said, and Canada has TeSOMreeS which the former never possessed. She pointed out that Canada has accepted its responsibility in sign- ing the charter of the United Na- tions, and she urged that organiza- tions could do a part by learning all they could about these problems. ' "There are still a million dis- placed persons in Europe and there are many, many acres of land in Canada--that is just one of the responsibilities that lies with great power," she added. In her charmingly entertaining manner, Mrs. Anderson told of her experiences as she travelled up and down Great Britain organizing some 120 Business and Professional Women's Clubs during thé war days while her husband and two sons were in the armed services. Lost Possessions Twice On two occasions she lost all her personal possessions, the first time when the hotel where she was stay- ing in Plymouth was demolished by bombs and again at York station when the passengers barely man- aged to take shelter before the platform on which they had been standing was blown to bits. In the hotel she attended as the young re- ceptionist, who had stayed at her post a little too long, had her legs | ing sawn off below the knees in order to free her from the steel girders which pinned her down. "Always there was that deadly fear from the sky," Mrs. Anderson said, as she spoke with feeling of the hardship, the wear and tear of those war years--and the endur- ance of the women of Britain, Sincere Thanks Declaring that she now consider- ed herself on " a great thank-you mission," Mrs. Anderson expressed the sincere appreciation of those in Great Britain for the parcels of food and clothing .sent from Can- ada and United States. A resident of Newcastle-on-Tyne, she went to the town's distribution point after losing her possessions at Plymouth. Immediately she found there was a woman in St. John, New Brunswick, exactly her size and she came away with a black suit which she is still wearing. With her at the time of the explo- sion at York .station was a bride whose possessions were lost in the bombing and she, too, was fitted out--with a wedding dress and all the accessories, received from a British Columbia town. "There is not a club, not a house in Britain that has not' had help from over here," she declared as she spoke in particular of the monthly parcels received from the Business and Professional Wo- men's Clubs of Canada throughout the war. "Your names are in gol- den letters in many an English town because of those wonderful clothes," she told the members. : Regarding the food situation, Mrs. Anderson said "spam" micht be a joke here but it was a luxury ANNIAL Ce, tp, uy Wind & Weather Lotion 0d 75 Regular $1.25 Size Regular $2.50 Size only $1.50 ® Use this silken iotion once and you'll pever be without it!

T KING BE SIMCOE 8. in Britain: Ome tin, however, takes 22 of the 30 coupons per month, while a tin of salmon takes 32. She boasted herself of being able to serve spam in a different form every day for a week. Mrs, Anderson paid particular tribute to the men and women of London during the blitz. Business girls would arrive for work in the morning, 'she said, with dresses pressed and make-up on, after spending night after night in the bomb shelter, on fire watch duty, or at some other occupation, One morning she came out of the shelter to see "a little grey-clad fig- ure, with a khaki-clad one," moving among the debris, It was the King and Queen, bringing cheer to the weary and homeless. Paying warm tribute to the Royal Family, she said they could be depended on to arrive as soon as it was safe at all in bombed areas--and they stayed in London throughout. Despite their cheerful spirit, there was afterwards, however, a weari- ness and a kind of frustration among the people, Mrs. Anderson said. Canada could not do without the old land and it could not do with out her, she said as she em- phasized this country's responsibil- ity in assuming a leading role and appealed for a sympathetic attitude on the part of people here towards those in the old land. Not Lazy But Tired She said that after the years of shortages there is danger of a king of "grey frustration" coming over the attitude of the people in Brit- ain. "The British working man is not lazy," she declared, "but he is tired." y Comparing the food situation in Britain with that in France, how- ever, she said rationing in the for- mer assured an equitable distribu- tion. In France there were two prices--the ration price and the black market price--with the result that there might be no lamb chops in the butcher shop but one would pay the farmer the equivalent of $1.50 a piece for them, One of the many difficult problems facing the British government now was whe- ther to remove the subsidies and lower the income tax or maintain across-the-counter prices as they are. Mrs, Anderson was introduced by the president, Mrs. H. P. Bull, who presided at the delightful gather- and the appreciation of those present was extended to the guest speaker by Mrs. G. D. Conant. Guests included five members of the Cobourg club and Mrs. Margar- et Pender represented the Cobourg president at head table along with Miss Marie Shantz, president of the University Women's Club of Osha- wa and District, Mrs. T. K. Creigh- ton, president of the Y.W.C.A. board of directors; Mrs. R, 8. ;Mec- Laughlin, LL.D., donor of Adelaide House; the guest speaker, Mrs. Bull, Mrs. Conant and Miss Mary Bourne, vice-president of the club, A sing-song was conducted by Miss Florence Cowan and a fitting note was added with the introcuc- tion of the two exchange teachers here from Great Britain, Mis® -- Milner and Miss Jean McLeod. Mrs. Conant, who is organizer for the central region in the Canadian Association of Consumers member- ship campaign, explained the aims of the Dominion-wide women's or- ganization which has grown out of the women's activities during the war in the fight against inflation. Any woman over 18 may join the organization and the membership objective is 250,000. Its program will include study of prices and stand- ards, the housing problem, planned spending and saving, the home mar- ket and foreign trade. Its purpose is to unite consumers to improve the standard of living and present their viewpoint to the government and industry.

China Mementos of Wedding Prohibited by Austerity By JAMES McCOOK Canadian Press Staff Writér London, Nov, 16 -- (CP) -- King Edward VIII's coronation mug sold in millions although it should never have been made, but Princess Elizabeth's wedding, because of austerity, will make no contribution to Britons' china cabinets. "Before coronations and wed- dings in the past we Have just been swamped with orders for memorial mugs to be given in schools, at celebrations and as mementoes from all kinds of or- ganizations," said a representa. tive of the British Potteries Man- ufacturing Association, "Now, I don't know of anyone making mugs to commemorate the coming Royal wedding. Some china is being made for the Prin- cess herself, but there's no sign of the millions of commemorative mugs and cups. "We can't spare the time or the materials from all-out effort to meet the needs of Canadians and others who want our prod- ucts." Few British homes are com- plete' without a polished succes- sion of mugs marking Royal occa- sions, all made to a pattern un- changed by the years. They are stout and plain white, except for the flaming Union Jacks and the equally flaming faces of kings and princes, queens and prin- Fancy Work, Children's Friday, November BAZAAR Candy, Home-Cooking and Tea-Room: 'Knox Church Woman's Association Clothes, Aprons, Quilts, 21 -- 2 to 6 p.m. cesses, stamped on the side in florid colors. Many collections start with Queen Victoria's Jubilee in 1887 when mugs showed the queen as a young woman and as an aging | matron, her pictures wreathed in leaves and flags, When the good old days were fading in 1911, the straw-hatted generation of Britons took home from their festiviites on a bright June day the coronation mug of King George V, complete with pictures of himself and Queen Mary, plus assorted wreaths, roses and flags. /fter that came King Edward VIII who.never was crowned, ex- cept in anticipaiton by the manu. facturers who made millions of mugs for home and overseds, dat- ing the coronation as May 12, 1937, a day when the Duke of Windsor had left the country with his commoner bride. "Long Live Our King," said the Edward ugs, and they sold in millions, anyway, For mugs, the Board of Trade indicated a warm if practical heart. "There's no objection to people making them' if 'they export 75 per cent ahd require no materials in addition to those allocated to them," a spokesman said. "We understand very few if any are being made for the home market and while the manufac- turers can do what he likes for export within his limits it does not appear many will change their normal production pro- grams."

Catina Konskonki, and her sister Miss Despina Konskonki, who arrived recently from Nea-Kios, Greece. Neither can speak a word of Eng lish yet, but they are favorably im- pressed with Canada and think Canadians are most friendly, Mrs, Gregory had not seen them for twenty years, since she left home, and is happy to be re-united with her own family again. The travellers came by boat, call ing at Genoa and Lisbon, and Mme, Kouskonki was one of the four pas- sengers who did not miss a single meal. The gentle elderly woman enjoyed the voyage immensely and thought the boat and train wonderfully comfortable. Her thoughts go back often to the son she has left behind in Greece, but she is ccnforted by the thought that she attended his wedding a week before she said 'Goodbye' and that he now has a wife at his side, She enjoys the radio programs, particularly the church music on Sunday. She claims that she doesn't need to know the words,--the lan- guage of worship is universal. She does crochet work or sews as she sits and listens to the music. Mrs. Gregory has arranged for her guests to receive Greek news- rapers frcm New York regularly so that they may be in touch with af- fairs at home, When asked if there was anything they really missed, Miss Koniskouki volunteered "Fresh. fish,--with life in it". Having lived beside the sea always the salt tang in the air and the fresh caught fish that was always available. For all that Greece is a moun- tainous, rocky country, the skies are always blue and the air soft and warm. Mrs. Gregory hopes the Can- adian winter will not be too trying for her mother and sister, When asked about the German occupation the visitors had little to say They tried throughout to be neutral, they said, and did what- ever they were called on to do. Food practically disappeared in the big cities, and people in the country lived by barter and exchange. A lit- tle flour could sometimes be obtain~ ed in exchange for a treasured blanket or coat. Sugar is still unob- tainable, and all kinds of grain are scarce, Mrs. Gregory is doing everythin possible to prevent the Tang from being homesick. Beside special California grapes and fruit, she ob- tained a box of real Turkish Delight as an unexpected surprise for them confirming their impression that Canada is a land of miracles, Mrs. R.S.
