PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE In Jhe Home ~ OF INTE EST TO WOMEN - Community -- ---- Judges Select Prize Essays On Royal Carpet Mrs. George Jewell Re-elected President Women's Liberal Assn For the fourth year Mrs. George In conjunction with the show-. ing of Queen Mary's carpet in Osh- awa the Prince Philip Chapter, Im=- perial Order Daughters of the Em- pire sponsored an essay competi- tion for .pupils of Grades VI, VII, and VIII in the Public and Separ- ate Schools in greater Oshawa. Judges of the essays were Miss Etta Holmes, past-principal of Mary Street School, Mrs. J. A. Mitchell, convener of Educational Work for Prince Philip Chapter, and Mr. M. McIntyre Hood, managing editor of Jewell was elected president of the Oshawa Women's Liberal Associa- tion at its annual meeting held on Friday evening mf the I.O.F. Hall The Daily Times-Gazette. Two prizes were awarded in each grade and the winners are as fol- lows: Grade VIII, Gwendy Gales, North' Simcoe School; Marion Fisher, Centre Street School. Grade VII, Dorothea Richardson, North Simcoe School; Gordon Hall, Thornton's Corners. Grade VI, Marilyn Scott, Thorn- ton's Corners; Beverley Pine, Cen- tre Street School. Gwendy Gales' essay reads as fol- lows: QUEEN MARY'S CARPET | Queen Mary is now eighty-two ' years of age, and as Dowager Queen she is well-loved and a popular fig- ure in England. \| Always interested in needlecraft a hobby, she began to make her utiful carpet in 1941. The carpet #5 102" by 6' 9':" and contains about a million stitches. She pick- éd her own colours and chose her floral pattern from London's Vic- toria and Albert Museums and else- where. She made the twelve beau- tiful panels, each of a different de- sign, and the Royal School of Needlework put them together. The reason the carpet has been arranged with the designs similar at each end and appearing opposite in the middle is that it was origin- ally made for Buckingham Palace and no matter which end of the great hall people were, they would see the flowers in all their beauty. 80 we should appreciate the sacri- fice made when Queen Mary de- cided it was her duty to let the na- tion benefit from her work, rather than keeping it for family use. The Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire were for- tunate in being the group chosen by Queen Mary to exhibit it, The understanding under which they secured this privilege was that they collect $100,000.00 which is to go to the National Exchange by order of Her Majesty. The I.O.D.E. is sponsoring the - tour of the carpet in North Amer- ica, and when this is completed it is to be kept in the Ottawa Museum. 'The members of this worthy organ- ization willingly give their time to this task, and all the money receiv- ed goes into the fund, as they pay their own expenses. Here in Oshawa the carpet was kept in the Dominion Bank's vault over night for safety and was ex- hibited in the Armouries. Thirty thousand dollars remain to be rais- ed before their mission is accom- plished. : I will remember seeing this lovely piece of work for a long time. When I think of it I feel certain that she had more patience than most other people would have at her age, and in giving the carpet to her country she set an example of true unsel- fishness.
