L PRIDAY; DECEMBER f{, 1950 . PAGE: NINE 'THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE on Jie . dome ~. OF INTERES THIS WEEK IN BRITAIN :- Puppets' Silver Jubilee AN OFFICIAL RELEASE Members of the British Puppet and Model Theatre Guild recently celebrated their silver jubilee by putting on a show which would have cost fabulous sums to pro- duce with live performers. It was televised and filmed. The Guild's celebrations lasted for two weeks and were equally pular with children and adults. puppets were all works of art and real personalities and were, al- most without exception, made by . Guild members. Several taking part in the festival are already favourites of television audiences in Britain. Others have acquired a , wide following through Little Thea- tre shows, and school and private entertainments. The puppet masters, both ama- _teur and professional, range in age from 10 to 70. Notable among them is the Laurey Company, two of whose members are just off on a 16-weeks' tour of Australia. The puppets' repertoires include opera, ballet, folk plays and fairy stories of many countries. Bernard Shaw once paid one puppeteer, Mr. Waldo S. Lanchester, the compliment of writing a spec- ial puppet show for him--"Shakes- peare versus Shaw." Many of the puppeteers are now preparing special programs for the Festival of Britain next summer. Gas Turbine Car Competition to be Held A national or international race for gas turbine cars is to be held in Britain within the next two years. A prize of £1,000 (about $3,000) has been offered by the British Automobile Racing Club for the best practical performance; the winner to be the first gas turbine car to compete a distance of 30 miles at a minimum speed of 60 m.p.h, About ten different firms in Bri- tain and elsewh are developing gas turbine engines for road 'trans- port. The first gas turbine car to take the road was the British Rover, which recorded a speed of 90 m.p.h. at its first public demonstration at Silverstone last March. The Rov- er model sets new standards in simplified motoring. It has neither clutch nor gear lever, The'normal starting button is used to get the compressor 'working--a matter of 12 seconds--and 14 seconds later the car is roaring away at 60m.p.h. Brighton Invites Canadian Brightons j His Worship the Mayor of Brigh- ton, England, Mr. 8. Davey, has written to the civic authorities of six Canadian Brightons offering them hospitality if they are in Britain next year. In writing to the civic authori- ties of Brighton in Carleton Coun- ty, NB, Annapolis County, N.S, orthumberland County (town and village), Ontario, L'Islet, Quebec, and British Columbia, he says: "We in Brighton will be playing our part in the Festival of Britain activities and it is my Council's particular hope that this may be an oppor- tunity to initiate, strengthen or renew ties of friendship with many other cities and towns throughout the world which bear the name of Brighton. "Should you or any of your col- leagues or officials be contemplat- ing visiting Britain during the com- ing Festival year, I hope very much that Brighton will be in- cluded in your itinerary. If this should prove possible then it will give us very much pleasure to offer you such hospitality as we can whilst you are here. 1851 Regency Festival Brighton is one of the 23 select- ed Provincial towns and resorts at which Festivals of the Arts will be staged during the period of the Festival of Britain, Snail Juice to the Rescue The digestive juices of the com- mon snail are being put to work by research scientists at Britain's Rothamsted Experimental Station in Hertfordshire.

The handsome leading man of the class play who appears headed for Hol- lywood? Ar a comedian who is al- ways the life of the party? Some girls are attracted by all these types. But the boys who are usually the most likeable, success ful men are the happy-medium kind. They're fun at parties and dan- ces, but don't always expect to be the center of attention. They dont forget the girl they escort. They're interested in athletics or other activities, but also keep up with their studies, because they mouton lambskin for a very smart shorter-than-long overcoat made with slim front and generous back flare.

To dress up an unadorned sheath frock, one shop suggests a wide belt of gold kidskin, done on tailored lines, the plain square, covered buckle and belt studded in fake stones. * + » VERY TOP HAT is a hat that looks like a low-crowned top hat, and is fashioned of black hatter's plush.
