Fifty-Year Suit Designer's View New York--(CP)--The slim little suit with squared shoulders and skirt 13 to 14 inches from the ground is going to be around a long time--50 years or so--predict- ed west-coast designer Adrian as he showed his latest fashion col- lection here, Forecasting "no drastic changes for the next 50 years," Adrian said fashions started to crystallize dur- ing the war, when clothes were created to fill actual needs. And air travel, with the space limita- tions it imposes, is going to be the big factor in keeping them trim and practical. In the minor changes that occur, he added, American influence will be predominant because American living is "the culmination of luxury and the ideal of the whole world today." His own collection illustrated his ideas, with efficient little wool suits, slim-skirted, easy-fitting jackets tied at the waist and buttoned to little round collars. Matching top- coats were of swingy type, just above knee-length. Many of these combined stripes or plaids of vary- ing widths worked deftly into in- tricate designs. The tailored little silk suit was featured as a 'must' in the well- dressed woman's wardrobe. Adrian's were of navy silk failled and a nubby, tweed-like silk in grey. Dresses showed a leaning toward diagonal lines expressed in stitch- ings or in the handling of draper- fes and toward off-balance effects such as one bare shoulder, one gloved arm, or half a cape. Monkeys and tigers, tree bark and foliage formed the themes of prints which appeared in both day- time and evening dresses, in chif- fons, taff~tas and organdies. A "Quilting "rty" group of prints in silk and cotton was inspired by early American quilt designs. HOUSEHOLD HINT When laundering durable finish glazed chintz, do not soak fabric. Use lukewarm water and mild soap suds. Three to four minutes is enough for the washing action. Rinse quickly in three lukewarm rinses. Never twist or rub chintz, but use a spinner or a wringer set at "medium" or "silk." Re-Elected MRS.

This will be Mrs. Jewell's second term of office in the association which meets every 3rd Friday of each month. --Photo by Hutchison Studio. Unwanted Nurses Don't Take Hint Hartlepool, Durham, England -- (CP) -- When Hartlepool hospital dismissed two nurses last October the girls refused to vacate their rooms. They're still there. Elsie and Elizabeth Driver, sisters, were told they were through after making complaints about the food served to the hospital staff. The regional hospital board in- vestigated the case, It upheld the hospital management in dismissing the nurses, but suggested also that the management committee resign because of "lack of unity." The report recommended steps "to require the Misses Driver to vacate the hospital premises." But the girls said they'd stay put until their union, the Confederation of Health Service Employees, tells them to leave, THE YOUNG IDEA King's Lynn, Norfolk, England-- (CP)--Betty Gathergood and Patsy Cave, both 13, thought the child- ren's section of the public library needed brightening up. Now they have been invited to meet the chief librarian to discuss ideas.

Phone 2855 33 -- OVEN-FRESH FOODS ALWAYS -- WE DELIVER & By MURIEL NARRAWAY London, March 30--(CP) -- One hundred long wax candles, suppor- ted by tall silver gilt candelabra, il- luminated a flower-decked horse- shoe table and were reflected in the sumptuous jewels and embroideries of the women's gowns. The occasion was the state ban- quet at Buckingham Palace in honor of President Vincent Auriol of France and Madame Auriol. The dresses were the combined efforts of the top couturiers of England and France, The Queen's crinoline of crisp white tulle mounted on silver tis- sue made a perfect background for the vivid scarlet sash of the Leg- ion of Honor which she wore for the occasion, The gown was embroidered from neck to hem in curling feather fronds of silver and dimante, each feather ending in a cluster of ru- bies to complement the scarlet of the sash. The off-the-shoulder neckline had deep front point repeated in the pointed waist seam and the point of the hip panel. Long gloves Jewel Embroidered Gowns of State Gleam in Candle Light at Banquet met the short, frilled, cape sleeves. Princess Elizabeth, also wearing the Legion of Honor, chose eau-de- nil satin embroidered in pearls, em- eralds, gold beads and sequins. Her dress was not a crinoline but had wide spreading skirt and off- the-shoulder neckline. Coming from the small, cap sleeves single panels of embroidery met at the waist and swept vertically down the panelled front. : Madame Auriol wore the most elaborate dress of her wardrobe, a white satin brocaded with silver, The slim, tubular skirt was backed by loose, wide floating panels which formed a slight train. The neck was low and square- cut, the waist small and hips ver- tically draped. There were no sleeves excepting the slight halter effect of the shoulderline, Most noticeable difference among the women was in the jewels worn. Madame Auriol wore a single- strand necklace with chandelier carriage, jewelery possible to any middle-class Frenchwoman. 'The Queen and Princess Elizabeth wore the elaborate jewels of royalty, Tale Of A River Woman's Tribute To Saskatchewan By JEAN THOMPSON Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, March 30--(CP)--Thou- sands of miles of travel, and study f 200 years of human activity along one of Canada's great rivers have gone into the making of a 100,000-word book, "The Saskatche- wan." Mrs. Marjorie Wilkins Campbell of Toronto, a former magazine edi- tor, spent more than three years writing the book, 41st in the series Rivers of America. The idea behind the series, Mrs. t | campbell explained, was to tell how Europeans pioneered North Ameri- ca. as they penetrated the continent along its rivers, for geography has determined the history of North Americans, Novelists and poets, rather than educationists and historians were chosen to interpret the lore of the rivers. To them the restless quest- '| ing rhythm of rivers reflected the beautiful country and the young and vital life along their banks. Interviewed in her city apart- ment Mrs, Campbell talked enthu- siastically about the prairies and foothills, By careful scheduling of her time, she has been able to keep up the roles of housewife, author and active clubwoman, since her marriage to Dr. Angus Campbell, an eye, ear and nose specialist. "Writing the book was hard work," said Mrs. Campbell, a fair, youthful woman. "It was something I just couldn't help doing, and I would rather have written it than anything else." She is the first Canadian woman to contribute to the series, of which only three oth- ers have been written by women, Mrs. Campbell is well fitted by background and experience to write about the mighty prairie river, thé great interior highway of the fur trade. Born in England, she came when quite young with her family to Canada to a farm north of Qp'Ap- pelle, Sask. She attended school in Swift Current and eventually came east, where she did free lance work for magazines, and became editor of "Magazine Digest." "The Soil is not Enough," a book she wrote about her father's first seven years in the West, influenced the publishers of the Rivers of Am- erica series in commissioning her to write about the Saskatchewan. "From childhood the river has been almost an obsession with me," the author said. "And as I grew up I visualized rivers in Canada as be- ing responsible for the Canadian point of view, carrying Canada both actually and mentally outward." By bus, car, plane and on foot, Mrs. Campbell covered the route of the river from its two sources in the Columbia icefields to its mouth on Lake Winnipeg. In a fire ran- ger's plane, as guest of the Sas- katchewan government, she flew the length of the main river from Prince Albert to The Pas, and on to its mouth at Grand Rapids, Man: "Reaching the mouth of the riv- er was probably the most dramatic and exciting moment of my travel- ling," said Mrs. Campbell. "For af- ter following the meandering river that is like white rick-rack braid on a green carpet, the river suddenly select the exact candles you want at our magic candle barl ® 22 Decorator Colors ® Wide range of styles and sizes ® These "Jewels of Light" styled by famous Ajello Walmsley and McGill PHONE 5204 9 KING ST.

Housewives Find Multitude of Uses For Printed Sacks Toronto, --In answer to the de- mands of thousands of women across Canada, a Toronto milling company is now selling its flour in sacks made of bright tea towel and gaily-coloured cloth print mater- ial, household economists announc- ed here today. . Women have always made wide use of flour and sugar sacks as a hard-wearing material in house- dresses and children's clothes but the cloth usually required consid- erable soaking and bleaching to remove the printed label and res- tore the whiteness to the fabric, Today, when emptied, the 24- pound bag of flour becomes a bright tea towel merely by unravelling a seam and soaking in water to re- move the label. The 98-pound flour sack is of gaily-coloured print ma- terial, suitable for dresses, aprons, table cloths, slip covers and many useful household articles. Cotton consumption by textile bag manufacturers has risen sharp- ly in the United States as a result of the industry's recovery program, under which bags for flour and other similar commodities are sal- vaged and reprocessed into apparel and household items, gathers its forces and courses through a rocky cut into Lake Win- nipeg. My one regret is that I did not shoot those rapids. But I am going back some day to shoot them." MR. AND MRS.

Adjudicator Pleased With "Wake and Sing' By Toronto Players Toronto, March 30--(CP)---For the first time in weeks, adjudicator Max~ well Wray found no occasion to make any critical notes Wednesday night during "Awake and Sing"--third production of the Central Ontario Drama Festival, It was, he said: "An absolutely terrific, splendid production of a good play." The Toronto Belmont Players' \ presentation of the Clifford Odets play marked the half-way mark of the last regional festival in prep aration for the Dominion finals at Calgary, May 8-13 The acting of Sylvia Paige, who won the president's award for t' \ best actress in 1948 in the loc festival, was "a performance which held me magnetized the whole time; she gave a superb performance . . , without putting a foot wrong, with out being out of place at any time." It was, he said, a good choice of play--"no hooey art." The cast gave a "remarkably good performance." As on the previous night, Mr, Wray found fault with the lighting, A lack of foresight was obvious when daylight still streamed through a window when the blind was drawn. The available equipment at Hart House Theatre gave little excuse for sloppy work in this regard. Occasional inaudibility was also criticized. What's black, white and read all over?
