Building Shows Rt EY Encouragement of weaving as a sparetime occupation in the home is the colorful dis- play of hand-woven articles and ' materials being shown this week at the Community Recreation Asso- ciation building, Gibbs Street. The exhibit is arranged by the . recently-formed weaving service of the Ontario Depdrtment of Plan- ning and Development's trade and industry branch and Miss Mary G. Andrews, of the service, along with its assistant director, Ms Jerene Malcolm, are on hand to demons- trate the art, Not experts alone but the average person, after comparatively brief training, can produce articles simi- lar to those in artistic array in the sunny west room of the C. R. A. building, the instructors advise. When a class of eight to 12 persons has been formed, the service will provide a three-weeks intensive course at the conclusion of which the members will have received suf- ficient basic training to enable them to begin work. Skill comes with practice and advanced courses will be provided for those desiring further training. Warmly brilliant tartans, plaids and plainmaterials, drapes, spreads, p--all hand- woven--are included in the display which opened yesterday' afternoon and will remain on exhibit for official opening of the 'C. R. A. building Saturday. The public may inspect it each afternoon and eve- ning until nine o'clock and there have already been numerous visi- tors, . Accented by hand-made wood carvings the exhibit features ex- amples of intricate designs along with the simple weaves. Superb specimens are a spread and match- ing drapes in colonial design, a by an court woman, hooked mats, and in plain weave with hooked pattern. Wool, cotton and novelty yarns are used in the work with a com- bination wool warp and silk weft forming an interesting patter for the blue evening cloak made by Miss Elizabeth Bannigan, supervisor in the service. This service was inaugurated by Development last June under the direction of Miss Bannigan's father, Joseph Bannigan, who is one of the leading authorities on Canadian crafts. The object is to promote weaving not as a hobby but as a home industry, The weaving ser- vice, with headquarters in Toronto, conducts courses wherever there is a demand in the province and will assist those taking up the art in marketing their work. The empha~ sis is on the production of materials rather than on made-up articles. Centres where courses have al- ready been held, include North Bay, Fort William, Sudbury, and St. Ca- tharines. This basic course is on an eight-hour day schedule 'for three weeks, There is a small fee which covers only a small proportion to make one article for herself, In addition to the interesting products on display, those attend- ing the exhibition have the oppor- tunity of seeing how the work is done, Miss Andrews was engaged yesterday on a travelling rug which she is weaving in her own clan tartan, the Stirling Ross. In red, green and black, the rug will be 45 inches wide by 60 inches long and hag 2,160 threads which are woven in a twill. Miss Andrews says a rug this size could be completed in three days. Mr. Bannigan is expected to be present Saturday afternoon when the C. R. A. building is opened set of chartreuse place mats made officially, Highlights on Hairstyling Draws Capacity Audiences The New Look has gone to our heads! Fashions are going up as well as down. Upswept styles, many with a one-sided effect, were in the majority in the display "Highlights on Hairstyling" presented by Col- lette under the auspices of the Evening Guild of Christ Memorial Church yesterday afternoon and evening. The general trend is to- ward a smooth demure look in keep- ing with the longer, fuller skirts. The coiffures displayed by the at- tractive models were swept up, which makes a pleasing silhouette with a long skirt, or short and cov- ering the ears. Not one long bob or 'Veronica Lake' was to be seen. Jeanne McCabe, under whose su- pervision the staff at the Collette 'salon had created the hair styles, commented on each one as the mod- el stepped before the footlights. The first group showed a cross section of average hair styles, easily mana- ged at home. A fresh permanent wave, a grown.out permanent wave, a naturally curly feather cut, heavy hair with no permanent, a style that was suited to a tall woman, a feather bob reminiscent of the 1920's and an in-between style that was curled up off the neck yet not high on the head, showed the ver- satility of the present mode. The next group of models were members of the staff of Collette who displayed suits and dresses for the coming spring and the coiffure cre- ated to be worn with them. A black taffeta frock and a black suit, both with short fitted jackets and flared skirts called for sophisticated hair- do's, while a Queen's blue suit was complemented with a casual "halo' bob. A grey afternoon dress with a circular skirt dembnded an adapt- able style that could be worn in either the afternoon or evening and wearable curls lent an air to a pen- cil slim tailored suit. A completely individual style was the smooth chignon, a nice balance to a spring print with a cowl neckline and basque bodice. Centre-back and Side Parts Cleverly placed parts and group- ing of curls were evident and a wind blown bob accompanied & saque coated suit. In keeping with the feminine mood hats are becoming more and more important and that they can be worn with the new coiffures was demonstrated by the models. An open crowned black straw accom- panied a printed silk accentuated with a back panel of black; a din. ner dress of grey crepe with side drapery became suitable for a wed- ding or reception by the addition of a hat softened with flowers and tulle, Crownless hats with flower filled brims can be worn with a diversity of hair styles. During an interlude several mem- bers from the capacity audience took the opportunity of having their hair dressed by expert operators who showed how quickly the average head of hair can be dressed for a special occasion. A demonstration of how to apply make up was also given to two willing subjects by Miss Frances Taffler representing Mar- garet Leander cosmetics. Jeanne McCabe, local hair stylist, gave ad- vice on the care of the hair, stres- sing brushing, proper shampooing and required treatments.

Prayer for the women of Oshawa this year met in Knox Presbyterian Church 'on Monday afternoon. . Mrs. Archie Dancey, key woman for the year, presided. The report of last year's meeting was read and it was de- cided to hold the services this year in Knox Presbyterian .Church at 8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 13, with women from as many of the vari- ous churches in the city as pos- sible taking part. It is hoped that the women of Oshawa will realize the need for their prayers and fi- nancial assistance for their less fortunate sisters in foreign lands. Mothers Could Learn From Daughters "There's a lot of talk done about the scanty bits of wearing apparel worn bv the young girls," exclaim- ed a teen-ager the other day, "but from all appearances some mothers and grandmothers could take a les- son from us." "When I was downtown Wed- nesday, in one short block I met several 'women who were dressed anything but sensibly. One grey- haired woman went tearing along With no hat on her head and open- toed shoes on her feet. Another woman, who looked to be about 50, was wearing saddle shoes and no stockings. "The one who really rang the bell though, was the little old white-haired woman who flitted merrily by with a red shortie coat flying open to reveal a smart grey crepe dress with a low sweetheart neckline. Her gray gloves and hat she carried helplessly in her hand and on her feet, to protect them from the foot of snow, no doubt, were those stupid little toe rub- TS. "At the corner I met the gang. There we were with kerchiefs and scarves on our heads, woollen and fur mitts, heavy overshoes, and long, warm coats, Far as I can make out, we teen-agers are more like our great-grandmothers than our mothers or our grandmothers," ~ FIRM FOUNDATIONS Just as a building depends upon its foundations, so, also, do the teeth of .an adult derive their strength, beauty of form and sta- bility from the care bes:owed on the foundation teeth which preceded them, . Foundation teeth -- often called "Baby Teeth"--prepare the way for the permanent teeth by aiding in the growth and development of the jaw; then each holds open a space and acts as a guide and pathfinder for its permanent successor, ] ] 1 CUTICURA : § SOAP and OINTMENT § | For PROMPT RELIEF § i PIMPLES ] i ECZEMA i |] BLACKHEADS | _ Cuticura helps clear up skin blem- 1 ishes.

She is wearing a hand-woven smock of Egyptian cotton, trimmed with the "weaver's fancy" pattern. Below, Mrs. H. P. Cranfield examines one of the colorful wool blouses woven by Miss An- drews. Mrs, Cranfield has done weaving 'herself and is anxious to take the three-weeks course which will be. held here .if; there is sufficient demand, ~Photos by Campbell's Studio ABOUT A MAN'S SHIRT If you know your stuff when you buy 'a man's business shirt, you'll see that it meets the standards of good quality set forth. First requirement, say the ex- perts, is a full-cut shirt made of fast-color, pre-shrunk fabric which has a firm, smooth finish and a high yarn content. hen you're satisfied on this count, see that design or pattern is matched at collar, front pleat and pocket; that collar points are exact twins and are flat and sharp, close, even stitches--about 20 to the inch, our experts say--are an- other prequisite of quality. Button holes hold best when they are neat and firmly sewn with highly mer- cerized thread. As for the buttons themselves: make sure they are four-hole pearls--even, clear and smooth--and that they are securely hitched. In many of the East Indies islands stones are unknown, and as a substitute the natives make their knives and axes from the frag- ments of the giant clams that are native to these islands. Parents! Mealtime should not be playtime, for the children. Medical authorities advise against getting anxious, too, about a baby's feed- At around the age of one year, when the appetite may not be ur- gent, a child is apt to toy with his food. He will drop things and seem indifferent to what is placed be- fore him. Under such circumstan- ces, say the experts "Remove the food, without comment or show of impatience. © The child may not need it just then, Simply assume that he has had enough." CUT FLOWERS iE When arranging cut flowers in a vase, take off all the leaves that would otherwise be under water. The flowers will last much longer. Occasionally put a tablespoon of baking soda into your coffee pot or percolator, fill with water and let boil or percolate for nine minutes. Rinse several times in clear water and dry, CONDENSED Y ALI3JVS ONDIW | AE Yroups , Clubs tocilian EVER-READY CLASS Mrs. Leonard Bigwood was the guest speaker at the regular meet-" ing of the Ever Ready Bible Class of Simcoe Street United Church, held in the classroom on Tuesday evening.

PACAAGE That films can be interesting and at the same time instructive was evidenced Tuesday evening to the Oshawa Council for Home and School Associations in Centre Street School auditorium at its first meeting of the new year. Insight into the theory of mod- ern radio reception, woven into story-form was shown in the film entitled "Naturally --it's FM." (Frequency Modulation) produced by General Electric. A second film "Peace of Mind" dealt with the Blue Cross Hospitalization Plan. These films were in color, and were shown through the courtesy of the Oshawa Film Council who lent their projecting machine and gave the services of the operator. Mrs. Sydney Sharples, convening visual aids, spoke. briefly, naming certain programs on the radio, that were profitable listening--some of these are listened to by the chil- dren in school.
