PAGE EIGHT] THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE TUESDAY, APRIL 26, 1949 RR In Jhe Home ~ OF INTEREST TO WOMEN -~ Co. : In The Romantic Evening Gowns, Day Frocks Being Packed for Margaret's Trip London, April 26-- (Reuters) -- Princess Margaret will take 24 new dresses--designed by Molyneux for the cancelled Australian tour-- when she goes on holiday to Italy next week. "We made 30 dresses for her to go to Australia," the famous designer said yesterday. "She has worn only six of these, all enormous ball dress- es. The others have been lying in her cupboard, waiting for an occa- sion like this." They include more simple evening and day frocks in linens, surrahs, light wools, taffetas and prints. Colors are in brush-sugar pink, strawberry, golds and daffodil yel- lows, delphinium blues and greens of all shades. Molyneux said there was nothing sensational about the wardrobe. It was delightfully simple and sum- mery. Princess Margaret prefers semi-full skirts, pleats and little short jackets, Two models are in crisp white brpderie Anglaise, one a day dress, one an evening gown with a little is of spotted foulard in pink with white polka dots. Evening gowns are youthful and romantic. A Lillowing organdie in rose pink is embroidered with roses cut from the organdie. For grand occasions there is a white tulle, spangled with dimante. Molyneux said Princess Margaret had ordered no other clothes from him or any other London designer. Princess Margaret, who at 18 is considered the most artistic mem- ber of the Royal family--with the exception of the Queen Mother Mary--now is brushing up on her Italian. She knows a great deal about Italian culture and has already made a list of the masterpieces she wants to see. Her lady-in-waiting on the trip probably will be 21-year-old Jeni- fer Bevan, a beautiful, brown-eyed |red-head, who is Princess Mar- 'garet's favorite companion. Zoos, and. Socioti L.A.P.M.

Campbell It's pleasant to linger before an open fire on a brisk| spring morning, when the sunshine outside is brilliant but | cold-- particularly pleasant in the added warmth of spon- taneous friendliness which radiates from Mrs. George Drew, the much-discussed wife of the much-discussed new leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition, the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada. TCA Celebrates Ten Years of Service Ten years ago this month Trans-Canada Ai eary 3go thi r Lines inaugurated its first Service and to celebrate the occasion a large cake with ten candles was put on hoard the Trans-Continental Filght at Malton Airport for the passengers to cnjoy. Flight Stewardess "Vickie" Stewart is shown just before she put the cake on board the aircraft. MRS. HEZEKIAH MURRAY Poo recent fall, she is surprisingly alert and takes a great interest in all present day happenings and her memory is J@odigious. Her eye- sight is as near accurate as possible and she enjoys reading and sewing and is at present engaged in do- ing some quilting, Mrs. Murray has three sons, John, of Oshawa, Harding, of Saskatchew- an, and George, of Buffalo, and two daughters, Miss Claude Murray, a teacher in Edmonton, and Mrs. J. Hedley Henderson, of McGregor Street, Oshawa, with whom she makes her home. Her family also consists of seven grandsons, five granddaughters, six great-grand- sons and five great-granddaughters. "Although, of course, Oshawa is very different from Nova Scotia," she sald, "I-enjoy being here and have made some very good friends. I used to be able to take a daily walk but am now unable to on account of the fall I had recently," she continued, "but I hope to be able to go out again soon." Mrs. Murray attends St. Andrew's United Church, : The Drews suite in The Roxborough, in Ot- tawa. It leaves much to be de- sired in the eyes of the new lead- er's wife, who looks forward to a home of their own to house eleven- year-old Edward and eight-year- old Sandra -- a house where in- formal entertaining of the mem- bers and their wives, and their other friends will be possible. "We enjoy doing that so much," says Mrs. Drew. However, already the small apart- ment in The Roxborough has taken on the lived-in look which a handful of spring flowers, the odd photograph, a few well-read books -- not to mention a mistress who has a flair for creating the atmos- phere of home around her -- will give to the utmost impersonal of dwelling places. LR As to that matter of home-mak- ing ---being a leader's wife, as Fiorenza Drew sees it, is not a whit different from being the wife of George Drew, private citizen -- or any other wife, for that matter. "It's tracking around and keeping George really comfortable -- pick- ing up his shirts and socks, all that sort .of thing. It's a travelling salesman's life, you know -- and if I'm along, I can do the things wives do for their husbands. To me making speeches is secondary and incidental." : deo ode ob Only once did she make a straight political speech, declares the wife of the Progressive Conservative leader. On that occasion, away back in 1945, she spoke in Italian, at Sault Ste. Marie. A group of Italian women at the "Soo" had arranged a large meeting, she recalls, and asked her to speak to them on the issues' at stake in the forthcoming provincial election. Mrs. task involved the taking of those ~ Drew's | have only recently® acquired their two-and-a-half-room issues, point by point, translating and discussing them. "Interpreting policy is a great responsibility for the amateur," she*says, "I was al- ways afraid of not remembering all my facts. If I had a photographic memory like George's, could pigeon- hole information like he does . . ." No need to complete the proudly envious sentence. kd \ Mrs. Drew's view as to women's part in matters political has had ample opportunity to crystallize during the past few weeks, when she has been meeting hundreds of people in all parts of Canada, and speaking to many of them. How- ever, she confesses that the per- sonal contacts after meetings mean more to her than any speech she may make. And as a rule, except on such rare occasion as her speech to the Women's Canadian Club in Winnipeg several months ago, her talks are not .prepared. "I come in with a few words after George," she sums it up modestly. And at such times, she likes to wait for the reaction of the gathering and to speak extemporaneously. "It is easy to be spontaneous," she adds, "because. people everywhere are so terribly enthusiastic about what the Progressive-Conservafive Party is trying to do -- they are so keen about this country and all it has to offer them." This high hope and eager en- thusiasm were Fiorenza Drew's strongest impression of the Pro- gressive Consérvative convention held in Ottawa last fall -- and in that 'reaction her husband shared. "It seemed to us," she says, "that delegates came to the convention | from all over Canada, so keen on doing a real job -- hundreds of people with the desire to formu- late a policy for the kind, of life they believed in for the future of | Canada and its youth, the oppor- Groups , Clubs tucilioni P.M.A, CLUB Mrs. Sidney Snelgrove 'presided at this week's meeting of the Monday Afternoon Club. The meeting opened with a hymn and all repeated the Lord's Prayer. Mrs. Snelgrove read the scripture and after a short business meeting readings were given by Mrs. John Rushford, Mrs. Roger Armitage, Mrs. R. G. Collison, and Mrs. Snel- grove. Birthday greetings were sung for Mrs. Parker, and Mrs. Leonard Weeks sang the hymn "More, More, For Jesus." Mrs. Clem Hewett closed the meeting with prayer and all re- peated the Mizpah benediction. Refreshments were served by Mrs. A. E. Eagleson, Mrs. A, Statham and Mrs, William Fowler. LS ER ALBERT STREET SR. WA. The regular meeting of the Senior Women's Association of Albert Street United Church was held on Thursday afternoon with Mrs. Ed- ward Holland presiding. The meeting opened with the theme song followed. by a hymn. Mrs, Henry Hogarth led in prayer and Mrs. Harry Longbottom read the scripture. "Thoughts for the Day," were read by Mrs, Joseph Wiltshire, Mrs. | Harry Longbottom and Mrs. Frank Williams sang two solos, accomp- anied on the piano by Mrs. Joseph Wiltshire, "In the Garden," and "The Stranger of Galilee." Mrs. Clayton Lee was the guest speaker, she read Matthew 31-41, and the title of her talk was "He Took It Upon Himself." : She told of the monk whose life was changed by the revelation in a | dream of the love of God. | Mrs. Edward Holland thanked | Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Lee for | their part in making the meeting |so interesting. | Plans were completed for the two | banquets. the W.A. are catering to on Tuesday and Wednesday. | The meeting closed with the Miz- pah Benediction after which Mrs. Harry Longbottom and MIs.

The way that convention drew up its plat- form was agrand job indeed -- and its natural culmination came when | they chose their leader. "It was a | moment of deep emotion for every- | one," confesses Fiorenza Drew simply. LR + Stimulating, too, conlludes the wife of the new leader, have been | the letters which have come to | them from people in all parts of | Canada, and in all walks of life -- | "stimulating and incredibly touch- ing. People who have written 'God bless you' . +» 'God give you strength' , . . as if in response to the feeling that went out from that convention last fall." There is more than the warmth | of an open fire to be found in the | | Drew livingroom. There is the] spark. of genuine camaraderie kindled by lovely Fiorenza Drew, a woman warm, intelligent and in- formed, well-mated to the brilliant leader of His Majesty's Loyal Op- position. And most important of all, there is the steady blaze of Fior- enza Drew's passionate belief, not alone in the policy and platform of ' the Progressive Conservative Party for our Dominion, but in the future of freedom and opportunity which is Canada's helitage, and for which every Canadian must share the responsibility.

May in a sense ushers in a new year, and Britain welcomes it with a variety of an- cient customs, points out the American Express Travel Service, which is listing England on 53 escorted tours to Europe this sum- mer. May is blossom month, and all over the country even the cart horses are garlanded. In Derby- shire villages wells are blessed and garlanded throughout the month, and in hundreds of communities outdoor floral dancers glide their rhythmic steps to the new softness in the air. At Oxford choir boys on Magda- len Tower greet the month with song. In the Cotswolds children dance around village maypoles. The people of Wishford, Wiltshire, celebrate Oak Apple Day. York is situated on the spot where the "Three Ridings of Yorkshire Meet" celebrates the curfew which has rung since William the Conqueror ordered it. On the ramparts of the old city children celebrate Maytime festivities. At the ancient town of Hastings the sea itself is blessed Refreshments were served by the hostess, assisted by Mrs. R.

In the old Cornish town of Helston the men wear morning dress and put flowers in their buttonholes while the women don gay summer frocks and carry lilies of the valley. Of special tourist interest is their an- cient Furry Song "The return of Summer." In a gay and lighthearted vein are the Mayday festivities long as- sociated with the Hobby Horse parades at Padstow, Minehead and Dunster. At intervals during the day the Horse falls to the ground and "dies"--a charade believed to represent the natural process of resurrection; this drama is also seen at West Country towns. The "miracle of spring," celebrated at Kingsteighton, Devon, is believed to have originated from a time of severe drought when, in answer to the villagers' prayers, a spring of water- spurted from a field. One of the 'most impressive ceremonies of its kind is the Cheeses Race at Cooper's Hill near Witcombe, where children race after the cheeses sent' spinning down the slope to mark the free grazing rights of the com- mon. Throughout the country tourists may witness many scenes typifying the spirit of "Merrie England," see dancers in modern bowler hats trimmed with flowers, or visit old communities reviving local folklore plays where every actor in the scene lives on the same soil and plays the same part as did his ancestors 500 years before. In many subtle ways not apparent in the major cities, rural England lives in the past to the delight of tourists. May is a holiday time for the bird-watchers. In all Britain sum- mer birds are back. The lovely song of the nightingale can be heard in the south, and gladly heard by tourists is the skylark who has sung his way into so many English poems.
