Ottawa, -- (CP) -- An Interview with Norah McFarlane is as re- freshing as a chat over the back fence with the kid next door. But the kid next door probably hasn't won a $500 first prize in an inter- national short story contest. Sixteen-year-old Norah has done just that, and the honor hasn't turned a hair of her pretty bobbed head. She's nothing if not modest, Her mother, Mrs. Leslie McFarlane, said that when The Canadian Press telephoned Norah recently to tell her she had won the prize in the contest conducted by the maga- zine "Seventeen, the little gal didn't even say boo to the family. Mrs. McFarlane had to ask several times before Norah finally broke down and announced casually what the phone call was all about. Norah says the news didn't real- ly "sink in" at the time. "I just felt very calm--not as if anything had happened," she grinned, "It really hasn't sunk in yet." What worries her most is the thought that people will expect her to keep turning out top-notch stuff "It sets a standard and I feel as if I'll have to be on my toes from now on," she said seriously. When it comes to writing, Norah has been "on her toes" ever since --at the tender age of six--she wrote a verse called "Birds." Girl, Author of Prize Winning Story Amazed at Her Luck, Will Try Again It wasn't published, but some of her poems and articles appeared in Canadian magazines before she was even into her 'teens. The prize-winning story, entitl-| ed "Time of Casting Stones," is the first piece of fiction she has had accepted. The title came to her while she was leafing through the Bible and found the verse "A time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together. .." Norah isn't the only writer in the family. Her father, Leslie Mc- Farlane, is a producer with the National Film Board and well known in Canadian literary ecir- cles. Sister Pat, 20, and brother Brian, 18, also are interested in writing. Norah's other interests are in illustrations -- she draws for the neighborhood community centre's newspaper--and acting, She be- longs to the Junior Theatre and the Ottawa Drama League work- shop. However, the schoolgirl, now in fourth year high school, is head- ing for a writing career and will use the $500 she has won for tui- tion in the journalism course at Ottawa's Carleton > College. She also wants a career in marriage. "Yes, I definitely want to get married," Norah said, "And 1 think it's quite possible to raise a family and write at the same time." Broadway's latest hit; "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," may start a.new short - hair controversy with to shingle or not to shingle the' big question. Carol Channing, charm- ing star of this revival of the 1920's, wears her hair most becomingly in the close cropped style of that fabu- lous era. Wispy bangs cover her forehead and the front hair is combed forward in a literal trans- lation of the 1920 bob. Trend setting hair stylists are suggesting many versions of the 1950 shingle and windblown bobs-- both revivals from the flapper age. Some advocate a modified shingle with back hair left long enough to form a half-wave at the nape of the neck. Other variations return to the softening influence of flat waves brushed back over the ears with a dip or reverse half-bang over the forehead. If you want to try your own ver- sion of the 1920 look, here's a word of advice from Katherine Potter, Procter & Gamble's Director of Beauty and Grooming: "It is a charming and easy-to-care for style which can look either very young or sophisticated with a flick of the brush." She warns, however, that its wearer must have a well-shaped head to show it off to advantage. Revivals from the Flapper Age Windblown Bob, Shingle Return Here are some more pointers from Miss Potter to help you make your shingle coif a success: 1. Have your hair cut by an ex- pert -- careful shaping is the mak- ing of this hairdo. 2. Keep your hair shining clean. When you have so little of. it, this is no problem, particularly if you use one of the new type synthetic detergents which come in any form you like -- liquid, cream or jelly. Such simple hairdos rely mainly on gloss and neatness to show them off, 3. Keep it neat. The shingle bob does need some setting. To get the best effect, make very large curls. When these are combed out, they brush into wide waves rather than curls, lending this hairdo its char- acteristic sleek, neat look. 4. After the hair set is dry, comb the back hair straight down, hold- ing it tight to your head with one hand. With your comb in the other hand, slide the hair ends to one side toward the ear. This will relieve any severeness of the line at the neck though the hair is very short. The front hair should be first combed back tight to the head to set the wave, then the ends brushed for- ward into, little tendrils over the cheeks. French-Canadian As Successor to Charles Boyer By NORMAN CRIBBENS London-- (CP) -- Montreal-born Paul Dupuis is being hailed in Bri- tain as .a possible successor to French-born Charles Boyer, the screen lover. His recent performance with Margaret Lockwood in the British movie "Madness of the Heart" was hailed as an outstanding screen performance. Of it a London film critic wrote: "I was intrigued by the sighs of pure satisfaction that went up from ladies all eround me , . . "Dupuis is younger than Boyer and his fas- cinating accent comes over clearer." The 33-year-old French Canad- ian has also been seen recently in "Passport to Pimlico," "Sleeping Car to Trieste," "The White Lady" Named by Critics and "Johnny Frenchman" -- his first full-length feature. Before coming to England during the war he worked for the CBC as news reader, announcer and pro- ducer. In London he also won re- cognition as a broadcaster, but de- termined to try his luck at film- acting. "It was uphill at first," he said. "It is a drawback for, an actor with a foreign accent te, live in England, because whenever a producer wants an actor who is not English he im- mediately 'shoots over 'to 'the conii- nent to look for a discovery." At one time Dupuis planned to return to Canada -- and would probably have gone if passenger accommodation had not been reser- ved for months ahead. 0 Twenty-Five Eager Young Students Mark CappingDayas 1st Anniversary Each wearing a corsage of crim- son carnations twenty-five eager young students were accepted into the School of Nursing of the Osh- pwa General Hospital at the an- nual "capping" ceremony on Mon- day afternoon. Members of the Ladies' Auxiliary, convened by Mrs, J. R. Robinson, performed the cap- ping and those from Oshawa to receive their caps were Miss Velma Broadbent, Miss Gloria Hirst, Miss Ruth Lott, and Miss Mary Robert- son. Others were Miss Carol Ander- son, Toronto; Miss Edith Allen Fenelon Falls; Miss June Bickle, Bowmanville; Miss Lois Collins, Te- miskaming, Quebec; Miss Ruth Car- son, Claremont, Miss Dorothy Dav- idson, Barrie; Miss Isabel Fergu- son, Minden; Miss Kittie Geale, Port Colborne; Miss Elizabeth Griffin, Queensville; Miss Marion Harris, Barrie; Miss Eunice Hof- bauer, Garson; Miss Betty Hill, Lochlin, Ont.; Miss Lois Jeffrey, Port Perry; Miss Ruth Kelly, To- ronto; Miss Betty Lunn, Bowman- ville; Miss Merle Maxwell, Temiska- ming; Miss Barbara MacDonald, West Hill; Miss Peggy McCullough, Port Perry; Miss Ruth Northey, Fenelon Falls; Miss Audrey Stur- rock, Bowmanville and Miss Phyliss Windsor, Carnarvon, Ontario. In addressing the girls Miss Mary Bourne, superintendent of nurses, warned them of possible disappoint- ments in store, and reminded them that they would be remembered not for the awards they might win or the high marks they might attain in theory, but for the com- fort and cheer they gave, willing- ly, untiringly and sympathetically without any thought of reward. them to practice a renowned mu- athlete would, day. iy a nurse's life ther close\association of sorrow piness, life and death, t! religious life is necessary too," said. "It is this gentle tone whi a nurse into an admirable charac- ter. We cannot all be highly skill- ed, but from your education in this school, we hope that you may ac- *| quire patience, tolerance and above all that your belief in moral prin- ciples will be strengthened." ' Miss Amy Griffin, instructor of nurses, congratulated the students, and told them that in accepting their caps they were accepting a trust, a symbol of the profession they hoped to master. "This can only be achieved," she said, " if you bring daily to it the best you, as an individual, have to offer, since 'anything less than your best could never be quite enough. It is an honor today for you to receive your cap, an honor of which you are worthy, only if your desire for nursing comes from the heart itself and if the performance of your nursing is done before the sight of God." For the benefit of the large au- dience of relatives and friends Miss Griffin explained that Capping Day was the first milestone in a Mid-Winter Dance Held By Yacht Club On Saturday evening the Oshawa Yacht Club held its mid-winter dance in the ballroom gt the club house. The dance commenced at 8 o'- clock and at 10.30 there was an en- joyable floor show which included Mrs. Beth Kemp, pianist; Mr. Ray Wallis and Mr. Norman Skinner, comedy act; Miss Shirley Smith, fast tap and acrobatic dancer. The dancing continued till mid- night when a buffet luncheon was served. Among those seen dancing were Mr. and Mrs. M. Wilson, Mr, and Mrs. J. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. K.

To some it meant more than Graduation Day itself. It meant that the probation- er had been found worthy of learn- ing to become a nurse. "In recent years there have been heard the dissenting voices of those who ask why it is that nurses seem to be the only women who have to do their work in fancy dress," she said. "To the casual ob- server the cap appears to be a funny little piece of linen folded or pleated or gathered in diverse fashions, but to the graduate from any school of nursing it is something almost sacred. Starting with the original attendants of the sick, the religious nursing orders, the veil or cap has been an essential part of every nurse's uniform." To the parents she said "We are fully aware of the trust you place in us during three of the most for- mative years of your daughters' professional and personal lives. We hope that we may give to them the best education that their pro- fession has to offer. We hope too, that we may provide for them those MISS AMY GRIFFIN (Nursing Instructor) SE surroundings and associations which will be worthy of the homes from which they come, and that through- out the next three years you will see your daughters grow, not only into better nurses, but better people able to enjoy life to the full, and able to contribute to the full." Dr. Charlotte Whitton who was present, congratulated the students on their choice of vocation, "You have shown yourselves to be persons of character," she said, "by choosing a life of service, rather than material gain, and turning your back on bigger money and easier hours. But you will store up riches which no one will be able to steal from you, and the longer you serve, the wider will become your horizzon and stronger your charac- ter."

Women from All Three Parties Candidates in Britain's Election By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer London (CP)--Women voters out- number men in Britain, but it's the 'other way round as far as parlia- mentary representation is concern- Only 24 of the 640 members elect- ed to the last House of Commons were women and there's not likely to be many more in the next house. That's because there are only- 106 women among the 1,600-odd candi- dates for the Feb. 23 general elec- tion. Last time, the 24 successful women were drawn from a total of 87 candidates. On that basis, less than 30 women can expect to win seats in the next commons. The line-up of prospective women candidates so far--there may be ad- ditions by nomination day--is 40 from Labor ranks, 30 Liberals, 27 Conservative and nine Communists. In the last house, there were 21 labor women M.P.S. two Conserva- tives and one Liberal. The number of Labor women subsequently was reduced to 19. A highlight this time will be a straight fight between women in several constituencies. One of the leading personalities involved is Lady Tweedsmuir, Conservative, who will oppose Mrs, Olive Cruchley in Aberdeen South. Mrs. Cruchley, a London barrister, is a Socialist. Lady Tweedsmuir at 34 is considered one of the most photogenic women in British poli- tics. Her husband is a 39-year-old former Canadian army infantry of- ficer who sits on the Conservative front bench in the House of Lords. If the election were conducted purely as a popularity poll, one wo- man would be almost sure of a seat. Bhe is Lady Megan Lloyd George, known as the "mother" of the Mo- ther of Parliaments. At 47, Lady Megan, daughter of a former price minister, has served 20 years as Liberal member for Angle- sey, winning unchallenged claim to seniority among "the ladies of the house." Outstanding among Socialist wo- men candidates is Dr. Edith Sum- merskill, famed for her daunting eye and mastery of food facts. As par- liamentary secretary to the Food Ministry, Dr. Summerskill emerged from the gruelling "question time" in the commons with a reputation for tart, factual replies, although her fondness for give-and-take out- side the parliamentary chamber sometimes resulted in adverse pub- licity. One of the youngest women in the Westminster stakes will be Mar- garet Roberts, 24-year-old grocer's daughter who has been chosen Con- servative candidate in Dartford, Kgnt. Women first entered British poli- tics actively in 1918. First sitting member was Viscountess Astor. Full equality of suffrage was obtained in Sad should be after each wearing.
