PAGE SIX' THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE J MONDAY. DECEMBER 1, 194 ) T EIN Guides Can Spread Friendship od TaTaTa"aa"aa"A' aTA"a"ATATATATATATATATATA :. Personals J "We have to know what other countries are doing and we have to find ways and means of being friendly", said Mrs. Gordon D. Con- ant, Provincial Commissioner of the Girl Guides, speaking to seventy "Guide captains, lieutenants, Brown and Towny Owls, commissioners and local association members, The oc- casion was a dinner at Adelaide House on Friday night to open a training conference sponsored by the Executive Council of the Osh- awa Girl Guides Association, Mrs. Conant, who was a delegate to the World Conference of 'Guides it France, and who attended the international training coference in Bwitzerlad in September 1946, deeply conscious: of the important part Girl Guides can play in pro- moting world friendship and peace. Canadians must be the leaders she said, and Europe is looking to Can- ada for leadership in this difficult time of reconstruction. She. added that to carry this world friendship to its ultimate good Guides must learn another language and for Canadians that language should be French. The Girl Guide International Ser- vice is helping all over war-torn Eu- rope and the results of the "shower of dimes" projects are. amazing. Guiding is a movement that seems to fit every decade and Guide peo- ple should have Guiding in their hearts. They should lock wide and have' no petty ideas about just Osh- awa. - In opening the conference the Council president, Mrs, R. E. Mc- Mullen, suggested as its theme "A Picture of Guiding", and its var- ious parts were interpreted by Miss June Knudsen for Guides and Ran- gers, Miss Pat Atwood for Brown- ies, Miss Edith Taylor, provincial secretary, for local Association. These three women came from To- ronto for the conference. 'What Are Guides "Guides are the girls who walk the middle road", said Miss Knud- sen. They are beginning to train for better citizenship; they are learning self-confrol; and they are learning co-operation as members of patrols. Girl Guides are run on a democra- tic system and it is important to have patrols running well," Guides are not just people who pass tests but girls who are carrying out what they learn in everyday life. A Gui- der is one who guides, not pushes, and she musf have the confidence of each girl. The Brownie Age Child Miss Pat Atwood with an obvious understanding of the mind of a small girl, told her audience that to have any success with Brownies it is necessary to understand them. A Brownie, she said, is full of en- ergy and this must be used. She is eager to play and Brown Owl must play too. She has a keen imagina- tion and a desire to create but her power of concentration is short. A successful leader must be placid and patient in dealing with her pack of individual personalities. J Local Associations Comparing the body of Guides to the (uman body Miss Edith Taylor Jeferred to the Local Association as the hands which care for the body and keeps it strong and healthy. In its membership should be repres- ented education, Y.W.C.A., service clubs, and church. It should assist the commissioner in suggesting suitable people for leaders and should keep badge standards at a high and uniform level. Four Oshawa girls who attended the International camp in Michi- gan last summer conducted the singing of old songs and new. Mrs. Jack Lee was at the piano and the Guides were the Misses Mary Moore, Mary MacGregor, Joan Mat- thews and Barbara Litster.

Use Ball Point 'Pen' To Apply Lip Rouge New lip rouge encased in a ball- point "fountain pen" promises to "write" creamy protective insur- ance for lips which flake or chap in raw winter weather. What keeps skin soft and moist under these adverse conditions is a high lanolin content in a lipstick base. This is what the new ball- point "fountain pen" lipstick of- fers. A streamlined applicator makes it possible to manipulate the soft cream on lips in a fine, evenly- drawn line without smudging. De- signed by William Wachsman, the ball-point feeds rouge on to lips: in a smooth flow. A screw cap con- trols the amount of cream released. Lipstick is kept hygienically safe inside its gold-colored aluminum case and can be thriftily used down to the last smidgin. VICTORY L.O.BA.

Smart Women Disregard Age The mature woman who refrains from reminiscing about her youth- ful beauty has taken a long step forward in making age her ally in- stead of her enemy. : Such a clever lady never calls at- tention to her current figure prob- lems by making self-deprecating remarks such as "When I was young and slim ..." She doesn't waste time sighing over the gradual changes in skin tone and facial contours. She re- aligns her beauty routine to put more emphasis on lubricating creams to chase away lines; or pinker-toned make-up to offset in- cipient sallowness, Instead of de- ploring the appearance of gray, in her hair, she'll adopt a new and neatly styled coiffure to display this silvering to best advantage. Rather than grant any quarter to the years by admitting she's "too old" for sports or exercise, our exemplary middle - aged woman finds a recreation she can swing without draining her energy. If a brisk walk is all she can manage, she'll walk every day knowing that even mild exercise will help to keep her circulation stimulated, muscles and joints more flexible, Reaches Nassau MISS JEAN HALL who has accepted a position as head dietitian at the Fort Montagu Beach Hotel, Nassau. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Hall, received word on Saturday that she had ar- rived safely by plane. Miss Hall who graduated from Toronto Uni. versity with the degree of Bachelor of Household Science was dietitian at Bigwin Inn, and during the war was loaned fo the R.AF. and sta- tioned at Dorval, Quebec. --Photo by Hornsby Studio COLORED ALUMINUM A new factory in Lanarkshire, Scotland, will turn out multi- colored aluminum on a large-scale basis, reports the United Kingdom Information Office. The plant will be capable of handling the largest aluminum sheets. Repetitious pat- terns, marbling and similar effects can be obtained and colors will not fade or scratch since the dye- ing process has a case-hardening effect on the metal, Colored alvm- inum products remain bright, a quick-dusting will restore w.eir original sheen. The process is be- ing applied to a wide range of sub- jects, including costume jewellery, fancy goods, and electric fireplaces. Furniture made of this metal is not only unbreakable--it's tongh on termites.

At Women's Council] [4 Toronto, Dec. 1--(CP) -- Enag ment of a federal bill of rights tol guarantee civil liberties of all Can-¥ adians was urged Saturday by John G. Diefenbaker, Progressive Con seryative Member of Parliment ford Lake Centre, Sask. in an address® to the meeting of the Ontario Prov-gs incial Council of Women. ? Such a bill, he said, should estab. lish the individual's rights as dis tinct from public rights, "I should like to make the people as a whole ands parliament and the executive; particularly more scrupulously re gardful of liberty," he said. "It would establish the right of] the individual to resort to the courts§ of our country against the invasionf by the executive or government inf business. It would be a contract be-# tween the people and the state as serting the rights of the individual and the right of the minority to be protected in the exercise of lawfu rights against the majority. I would assure that the freedom off the individual would not be sub ject to denial at the caprice of the state." He cited the case of 'Jehovah's Witnesses in Quebec whom, he said had been denied the right to prac tice their religion. "What is being done as regards these Witnesses is] represented as merely the licensing of peddlers although it is of intr | est to know that the United Sta Supreme Court has held that suck regulations constitute an invasio: of the rights of the individual, to enjoy freedom of religion."

Bazaar & Chicken Pattie Tea SOUTH SIMCOE STREET SCHOOL Wednesday, Dec. 3rd -- 3 p.m. Undeg Auspices of the South Simcoe Home & School Association | BAZAAR FREE TEA 25¢c --Photo by A, Gilbert Studios, T Full, Inexpensive Material For Simple or BE Most effective windows can be achieved with a few yards of simple inexpensive material. If planning new draperies start thinking about them as there are many important points to consider, among the most important of which are the use of the room and the type of furnish- ings in it. For example--hall curtains should at all times be as simple and un- chstrusive as possible. Elaborate window treatment in a hall not only makes it seem overdone, but also gives a feeling of intimacy which is out of place in a room of that type. Living room draperies and cur- tains do not have to be formal un- less the furnishings call for a for- mal treatment as this is a room generally used for relaxation by the entire family. Dining rooms, as a rule, require formal window treat- ment unless the furniture is ex- tremely simple. Bedroom draperies and curtains may be formal or in- formal as desired. Then too, when selecting fabrics, keep in mind that figured draper- ies should never be used in a room with figuren walls or with a great deal of figure in the rug or uphol- stery. In a large room, if a figured fabric is used, it is best to select one with a large pattern, In a small room materials with small figures are desirable. Another point is that the height of a window can be broken by the use of horizontal stripes or by the use of a simple valance. A short window can be heightened by the use of a fabric with vertical stripes and no val- ance. Before buying material, measure the windows. For glass curtains measure from the sill to the top of the inside window for the length and across the frame of the inside window for the width, Add extra length for the casing and hem and allow at least seventy-five 'per cent fullness for each curtain, In measuring for draperies mea- sure form the top edge molding of the frame to the floor for length and allow one width of material for each drapery. A window featuring a single dra- pery is most effective for a more or less formal room. This' drapery requires either two widths of thir- ty-six inch material or a width and a half of fifty-inch material de- pending on the width of the win- dow. The material should be cut to the measurement of the length of the window and the two widths stitched together, If a figured fa- bric is used the pattern should be carefully matched. A pinch pleated heading is made at the top by forming box pleats three inches apart, pinching them together and stitching them three inches down from the top. Rings or hooks are then sewed to the back of each pleat to slip over the rod. The dra- pery is then caught up high at one side and held by a tie-back of met- irnN4 Formal Curtains al, glass or the same material as the drapery. A festooned valance gives another more formal window treatment. To make this type of valance the material is used lengthwise across the top of the window. The upper edge of the material is measured the length of the valance plus an additional amount for diagonal ends that broaden to the lower edge. The ends are draped up to either edge of the valance board and tacked in- place. Then two lengths of material are cut on sharp diagonal lines for the side cascades and gathered in three broad pleats at the top and tacked over the top edge of the board. The side draperies may ke shirred on a rod and put up under the festooned valance.
