ET or a Ee a Cy oF ite (oi SAU gr a PAGE EIGHT " THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1948 Sunday School Pupils Present Picturesque Musical Revue An appreciative audience filled to capacity the Sunday School room of Christ Memorial Church last evening when the pupils of the Primary, Junior and Senior Sunday School classes presented a musical revue entitled "The Wedding of the Painted Doll". The concert was opened with the singing of Christmas carols led by Mr. Prank Black, and a chorus by the entire cast of 36 boys and girls introduced the program, with Gil- bert Taylor taking the solo part. "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" was sweetly sung by diminu- tive Joan Bickle, very attractively dressed as Red Riding Hood, and John Beamish cleverly executed a tap dance to the tune of "Whistle While You Work." A "Animated Antics" was given by Robert Munday, Dennis Starkey, Robert Sandford and Peter Walms- ley who convincingly portrayed Jumping Jacks. The "Follies Dollies", a beauti- fully danced ballet by Marilyn Mill- er, Janice Gibbie, Gwendolyn Gales, Barbara Hall, Patricia Hudson, and Ann Cleverdon was followed by a "Lullaby Land" song by Joyce Miller, Margaret McFadyen, Joan Zakarow, Yvonne McIntyre, Marilyn Reid, Eva Hudson and Betty Nor- ris who sang to their dolls which they held in their arms. The solo part was taken by Judith Evans. A recitation, "Christmas In Toy- land", was given by Robert Logan. "Celebration Capers", with the song "I'll Dance At Your Wed- ding" was a colorful presentation of a bridal party. The characters were taken by the following: Bride, Patricia Fletcher; bridegroom," Ron- ald Jackson; bridesmaids, Myrna Armstrong, Joan Cleverdon, Shirley |' Reading, Colleen Barton; grooms- men, Gilbert Taylor, Bruce Black, | David Roberts, Frances Abthorpe. | A feature of this presentation was the arrival of the miniature wed- ding couple, with Janet Schofield as the miniature bride and Paul Hartshorn as the miniature bride- groom. TH \ "A Dolly's Dilemma", "I've Got a Pain In My wdust" was pre- sented by Mapéhn Miller, Gwendo- lyn Gales, Janice Gibbs and Ann Cleverdon. * Gloria 'McIntyre then contributed a solo entitled "I Love You Truly." "Wedding Memories" with wee Gary Gales taking the solo part and Patricia Fletcher and Ronald Jack- son waltzing to the tune of "The Anniversary Song", was followed by a piano solo by Joanne Richardson. The program closed with a Grand Finale of the entire cast singing "The Wedding of the Painted Doll". The costumes of the cast made the presentation a very colorful one and many of the items called for an encore. Much credit is due Mrs. Stanley Gales who arranged and directed the program, assisted by Mrs. H. D. Cleverdon, Mrs. Frank Black, Mrs. william Meredith, Mrs. Allen Evans and Mrs. Carmen Lott, pianist. Mr. Philip Ayling presented the prizes for the past year's atten- dance, the prize winners being: First, Gwen Roberts; second, Janet Schofield; first, Judy Evans; second, Susan Elliott; first, Yvonne McIntyre; second, Betty Dowton; first, Ann Cleverdon; second, Bare bara Hall; first, Gwendolyn Gales; second, Marilyn Miller; first, Patri- cia Fletcher; second, Joan Clever=- don; second, Shirley Reading; first, Teddy Roberts; second, Mickey Barnier; first, Richard Lawrence; second, John Higgins; first, Robert Munday; second, David Roberts; first, Allen Reading; second, Rob- |! ert Gill; first, John Preston; second, Gilbert Taylor. Patricia Fletchef was presented with a Proficiency Award won in annual examinations for the most outstanding pupil in Sunday School. This prize is given annually by the United Society for Christian Litera~ ture whose headquarters are in | England. First Baptist W.A. Holds Annual Election Mrs. W. R, Collins was elected president of "the Woman's Associa- | tion of First Baptist Church at its monthly meeting held at the home of Mrs. H. J. Weir. The other officers are as follows: Vice-president, Mrs. John Darcy; treasurer, Mrs. H. J. Weir; secre- tary, Mrs. Fred Wilson; press secre- tary, Mrs. Edwin Pearson; flower and sick' convener, Mrs, Arthur Howard, Jr.; pianist, Mrs. George Hall, The president opened the session with prayer, and several Christmas carols were sung. Mrs. George Hall was pianist for the evening. The treasurer, and secretary, both gave reports, and many letters were read from sick and shut-ins, who re- ceived Christmas boxes. The devotional period was taken by Mrs. W. R. Collins, her topic the "Birth of Christ," was very inter- esting. . The members planned to cater for the annual church supper on Janu- ary 19 and much business was dis- cussed. Mrs. Ronald Collins kindly offer- ed her home for next month's meet- ing when the devotional period will be in charge of Mrs. Edwin Pear- son. The hostess served refreshments | and a social time was enjoyed. Criticizing Spoils A Woman's Charm No woman should allow her feel- ings of dislike for people or things to rob her of her charm as she grows older; to deplete her energies now. As one charm expert points out: "Too much energy is wasted by re- sistance to and criticism of things and people to harbor these nega- tive feelings." If indulged in too freely, they can do more harm by warping a personality. The woman whose charm seems to develop with the years is usually the one of whom her friends make this boast: "You never hear her carp about anything or say an un- pleasant word about anyone." Every charmer who is so praised doubtless has her negative reac- tions, but she has probably dis- ciplined herself into keeping them under her hat. Or better still, the charmer may have disciplined her- self to search out the good qualities which can so often be found ming- ling even with the bad. [One firm is selling fur coats with London Shopkeepers Prepare for Onslaught Londod, Dec. 30 -- (Reuters) -- Thousands of women are expected to storm London shops for bar- gains next week during the great- est sales period since before the war. Marly women will converge on London from miles round for a chance to ,buy coupon-slashed, price-reduced coats and dresses. Hundreds of police will be on duty when the shops open. Shop detectives will watch for racketeers who deal in clothes-ration coupons: The women will flock down Bond, Oxford and Regent streets, the capital's fashion centres. "We have our barred doors ready to keep those eager women buyers back," said one store manager, "We dread the week ahead because it means a lot of frenzied and faint- ing women. "But we expect the sales to be the largest since 1939." Another manager said the Jan- uary sales--they begin Monday-- would offer bargains to women but few price reductions for men. A group of stores selling women's wear and millinery will cut prices on at least 100,000 garments. Furriers also plan good bargains, hemlines from 10 to 12 inches from the ground at almost half price. A dark Canadian mink coat will be reduced from £3,000 to £1,250 ($12,- 000 to $5,000). Three Buffet Menus For Evening Parties Here are three well-planned buf- fet menus: Platter of smoked tongue, baked ham, Canadian cheese and Swiss type cheese slices (garnish of wat- ercress and pickles), scalloped po- tatoes, jellied fruit and nut salad ring, tossed salad of greens and slic- ed radishes, white or whole wheat rolls, sherbet, cookies, beverage.

Simple Hair Style - Photographs Best Give your daughter, who boasts to college pals that she has a pretty Mom, a photograph that proves it. But before having your picture taken, listen to the advice of an experienced photographer. . Don't make the mistake as most do, warns this. expert, of wearing your best black dress when you have your picture made. Pastel colors--such as a pale satin blouse --photograph more softly and will make you look prettier and years younger, If you customarily wear glasses, wear them for the picture. Eyes which are accustomed to the help of glasses if denied specs for pos- ing may look strained. The camera will record this look of strain. A simple casual hair-do is more photogenic, says our expert, than a formal or other types of stylized coiffures. You are particularly warned against wearing too many curls which may obscure the out- line of the head and make a woman look frowsy instead of chic. Be careful of that "great big smile" which too many women feel that they ought to turn on for the camera. Better than a big grin which can distort a face or cause eyes to squint is a pleasant natural expression or a '"smile" from your eyes. Such an expression should not be smiley if it makes you feel self-conscious because your dis- comfiture will be faithfully record- ed by camera. BONNET BRIGHTENER Want to know how to freshen up your bonnets that are beginning to show signs of wear and return them to service looking as good as new? When you get your hat of velour or felt crushed, restore its velvety nap by holding the hat over kettle steam and brushing with a soft, long-bristled brush. That restora- tive ' treatment will work well. If soil bedims the beauty of a pastel felt, lightly sponge off soil, before steaming, with cleaning fluid, Couple Celebrates 57th Anniversary ly Mr. and Mrs, James Vear, former- ly of Uxbridge, celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary on Monday at the home of their son and daugh- ter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur | Vear, Princess Street, Kingston.

Get Thank-You Notes | Sent Off at Once Gifts sent to the sweet girl grad- uate deserve "thank-you" notes written promptly by the young re- cipient. In the whirl of the end-of-school festivities, there may be a tempta- tion to delay writing your "thank- you" notes or to ask Mom to in- clude your "thanks" in her letter to grandmother or Aunt Helen. Good manners, however, require | that you express your pleasure in a personal note. A good rulé¢ of 'the thumb to follow if you want to im- press donors that you know your etiquette is to write within 24 hours after receiving a present. You'll be less likely to delay writing if you keep a supply of notepaper, en- velopes, stamps and a pen on your study table. Clipping the return ad- dresses from packages as you open them and spiking them on a spin- dle near your writing folio will also help to encourage a prompt reply. Gifts" seht' by persons "living in your city should be as promptly ac- knowledged either by note or by a telephone call as gifts received from out of town. Don't wait until you meet donors on the street to thank them for their gifts. Cakes should be stored in closed containers which have some ven- tilation.

Even lands behind the iron curtain went overboard to put the smiling face of the little Ottawa skating cham- pion on their front pages. . The year that brought interna- tional acclaim to the Dominion's best-loved sports figure saw Cana- dian women win fresh triumphs or renew laurels won in the fields of law, social work and the arts. Prominent among the Canadians who fought for better social condi- tions and women's rights were Mme. Pierre Casgrain of Montreal, or- ganizer of the Quebec League of Women Voters to inform women on public affairs, and Agnes Macphail, C.C.F. member of the Ontario legis- lature. It was a busy year for Can- ada's other women legislators, Mrs. Gladys Strum, C.C.F. member of parliament for @u'Appelle, Sask. and Senators Cairine Wilson and Iva Fallis. Dr. Charlotte Whitton of Ottawa became a national figure when she was charged, along with two men, with conspiring to publish a de- famatory libel against the Alberta government. The charges, later dropped, arose from the printing of a report on welfare conditions in Alberta, prepared by Dr. Whitton for the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire. It was a happy year for Mrs. George Drew, wife of the new na- tional leader of the Progressive Conservative Party. She shared in the triumph of her husband's elec- tion to the leadership and to a House of Commons seat. . Halifax produced a champion this year, too. Betty Jean Ferguson, 20-year-old singer from the Mari- Canadian Women Have Won Acclaim At Home and Abroad in 1948 time city, was chosen Miss Canada of 1948 at Hamilton, Ont., last sume mer. CBC Governor Mrs. T. W. Sutherland, of Parks+ ville, B. C., now serving her second three-year term on the CBC board of governors, was appointed to her second Royal Commission this year. A member of the Royal Commission on Prices in 1948, she was in 1943 and 1944 a member of the Royal Commission to inquire into the wel- fare of Japanese in wartime camp$ of British Columbia. . A leader in the field of women's organizations was Mrs. R. J. Mare shall of Agincourt, Ont., president of the National Council of Women and recently-retired president of the Canadian Association of Con- sumers. : The first woman to be appointed to a senior position on a Canadian newspaper is believed to be Mary Gardiner of Regina, who was madé managing editor of the Prince Als bert, Sask. Daily Herald. A Winnipeg girl went south of the. border in 1948 to win musical distinction in New York. Donna Grescoe, talented violinist, made her debut and received high praise from some of the toughest review- ers on the continent. Donna re- turned to Canada and more praise, Among well-known Canadian wo- men who died last year were two Montrealers, Mrs. Alfred Watt and Mrs. Ethelwyn Hobbes. Mrs. Hobbes was a radio personality whose pro- gram dealt with women's news and opinions. Mrs. Watt, internationale ly-known as founder of the Woe men's Institutes of the United Kingdom and prominent in woe men's organization work in Canada, had been at various times the re- cipieht of decorations from the gove ernments of Britain, France and Belgium. (Courtesy Canadian National Magazine) Now that our table linen is no longer limited to the large white { damask tablecloths which our { Srandmothers considered the only thing for a lady's table, and the | shops are full of all sorts of entic- | ing and colorful luncheon sets, | doilies, runners and so forth, we must give a little thought to the | method of laundering, if they are | to retain their original attractive- ness. White table linen may be wash- ed just as other white cottons and linens; that is, first soak them in lukewarm suds, wash them and dry in the sun. For colored pieces, however, un- | less one is positive the colors are fast, a little care should be taken to preserve the original attractive- ness of the material. Just as for colored hankies the safe procedure is to wash all types of colored table linens in lukewarm or cool suds, to thoroughly rinse them in clear, lukewarm water, roll in a Turkish towel to. remove the excess moisture, immediately un- roll and hang to dry at once. Some of the thinner materials are ready to iron at once. Articles with embroidery or appliqued designs look best if ironed on the wrong side over a soft pad such as sev- eral thicknesses of a Turkish towel. This makes the embroidery stand out and look more like new. When ironing linen it is important to iron the material until thoroughly dry, as if left damp it tends to have a puckered effect when dry. so round doilies should be ironed order to keep them in shape. | Linen table mats edged with lace | or crochet require special care in ironing. The mats should be pin- | ned in the correct shape to the ir- | Square or oblong articles and al- | with the thread of the material in| oning sheet when wet, placing the | pins close together where the lace | joins the linen. Iron with the point of the iron and keep the mat pin- ned out till the lace is quite dry. A lace cloth needs careful handl- ing and the very mildest of soaps | should be used for washing it in | warm water. If washed in a wring- ler place table cloth in a bag or pil- | low case to prevent tearing. | Before laundering, all tears and | holes should be repaired, and if a | tablecloth is going thin, the linen should be carefully darned or back- 30 oi.

Brown gravy, ice cream and butter stains should yield to hot, soapy water washing. Fruit stains should be treated by placing the marred portions over a bowl and pouring boiling water from a kettle held at a height so that the water hits the stain with force. No matter what the stain get after it at once. If the table linen is put away stained and spotted, it will take much rubbing and strong agents to remove the spots. This will tend to shorten the life of your napery. Do not use starch on linen that is put away and used infrequently, and do not use starch if the cloth is of linen and lace or all lace. It is best not to launder a really fine lace banquet cloth. Such pieces should be sent to a good dry clean- ing establishment. When you put away fine napery, place it carefully between sheets of blue tissue paper. Keep the linen, if possible, on a shelf of its own. SEWING TIP If you are planning on spending a full day of sewing, keep a gen= erous sized wastebasket at your el= bow. It will save you plenty of time picking up ravelings and cuttings when you have finished. TI TPL Ie Elizabeth Arden's Hand-O-Tonik has a gifted way of keeping hands creamy-soft, candle-smooth.
