Sacrifice of 25,000 British Women Is Perpetuated by Roll of Honor London--(CP)--A national Roll of Honor has been dedicated to the memory of more than 25,000: British women who gave their lives in the service of their country during the second world war. The Roll, bound in red Morrocco leather, pays special honor to 241 |, members of the Women's Voluntary Services, whose names are hand- . inscribed on its yellow pages. But it will be handed down to posterity as an enduring tribute to the valor, self-sacrifice and devotion to duty of all British women who died by enemy action. "We wanted ordinary pepole to feel that ordinary le can be commemorated," sald the Dowager Lady Reading, Chairman of the organization. "These are the women I worked with," she added. "These are the women I have known and whose death I have personally mourned. We hope that this Roll of Honor will show posterity what type of women these were." On pages embellished in burnish- ed gold, the names are arranged in territorial order and surrounded by the Coats of Arms and the wild flower representing the district or county concerned. Thirty - four counties, from Renfrewshire to Cornwall, are honored by the names recorded: wh ow Each page 8 TOsemary blem for remembrance and ecita- tions are simplé, They tell how or- dinary women died doing the everyday tasks that are part of a country's strength in wartime, War Tragedies Typical examples are: "She was out of her front door for little boy when both were kill- a V2 (rocket bomb)." "Killed direct hit having seen her in- husband and all the custo- (of a public house) to safety." "Killed by. a blast while waiting to go on duty." "Killed on duty while' driving her ambulance." One of the more touching tributes to women in general is the inscrip- tion: "They rarely wept except for Joy or relief." Started in 1947, the scroll is the work of Miss Claire Evans, a mem- ber of the Voluntary organization and a founder member of the Lon- don Society of Scribes and Illumi- nators. One of her major tasks in post-war Britain was the gathering of pages and tools for the work. Help, however, came from many parts of the world, including a gift of ink and tools from a friend in the United States. Historical significance is added by inscribed pictures depicting typical wartime scenes.

London, Feb. 23--(AP) -- The House of Commons took up today the question of whether British women are getting too big for their undershirts, Labor M.P. Norman Dodds sug- gested, conversely, that British un- dershirts are getting too small for British women. He blamed this on the Board of Trade, which fixes the standard sizes for clothing of the low priced kind known here as "utility." Fi firm conclusions were reach- ed. : An undershirt, female type, is known in Britain as a vest. It is worn with a topless slip, over a brassiere, Dodds said the cold snap in the United Kingdom during December and January disclosed a chilling fact: many women's vests of the utility type are at least two inches too short. rr The women could tell because of piercing winds across their mid- riffs. And what, Dodds demanded, did the Board of Trade intend to do about it? Harold Wilson, president of the Board, protested that he had re- ceived "no evidence" of the sale of any short vests. » He said vests are supposed, by order of the board, to comply with "minima laid down by the lingerie advisory committee of the British Standards Institution." . This outfit represents the gov- ernment, manufacturers, whole- salers and retailers of women's un- dies. "Is the minister aware," Dodds asked sternly, "that the vast ma- jority of women have a vested in- terest in this problem?" Wilson replied cautiously that he vast majority of women to say, but he remarked that at least three persons of this sex are members of the lingerie committee, Conservative Gurney Braithwaite sprang up and asked: "Does this board order provide elasticity in the size of women or Debate on Women's Undershirts Reduces House to Helpless Laughter is there a utility size of woman as well?" The Commons became helpless with laughter and the speaker seized the chance to call the next order of business. Shell-Work Artist Turns Beachcomber New ° York--(COP)--8Shell-Jewelry Designer Anne Kellett of Brantford, Ont.,,. on her way to search the Florida beaches for materials for her art, took time out here to ex- plain to reporters why she finds it necessary to turn beachcomber. The grey-haired artist, whose shell work has been recognized by Canada's National Gallery, said she cannot depend on commercial sources for her materials. They do not supply the out-of-the-ordinary shapes and color combinations she needs. Her jewelry and objets d'art -- such as the jewel case she design. ed as a wedding gift for Princess Elizabeth from the Brantford Coun- cil of Women -- call for oddly sha- ped or worn shells, unusual color ings and types that adapt them- selves well to use with water colors and oil paints. In short, she wants the types that the professional beach-combers toss back on the beach.
