Housewife Argues With Census Taker On Seniority Point London, April 9.--(AP)--An Eng- lishman's home may be his castle, but British census takers announced today that an Englishman's wife may, be its boss. The question arose concerning the census forms distributed by the Registrar-General's office. The government wanted them signed by "the head of the household." A census taker who delivered a form to the Hampstead home of Mrs. Ingwald Kraft was greeted with an icy stare when she read | that one. "Head of the household -- just whom do you mean?" she demand- ed. The census taker said he was a married man himself and wasn't going to get mixed up in this. He would return next Monday, and meanwhile, Mrs, Kraft ought to write to the registrar. She did. She wanted to know, she told the registrar, why the government automatically regards a husband as head man in his home. The Registrar - General's office was as cautious as its census taker. It sent a carefully-worded reply saying it was sorry its census forms should be regarded as "reflecting adversely on the status of women." "I need hardly assure you that no such reflection is intended," the letter said. "The Registrar-Gen- eral would not wish, even if it were possible for him to do so, to decide who should be regarded as head of any particular household." Mrs, Kraft said that was fine with her, "I refuse to regard men as tin- | pot little gods," she told reporters. "My husband, who is an engineer, agrees." And, she insisted, he is not hen: | pecked. Mr. Kraft will sign the census form with her--as "joint heads of the household."

Style-Conscious Men Planning New Duds For 50/50 Club Tea Certainly the men are style <on- scious although they will strongly deny it. But that is the real rea- son the Fifty-Fitty Club of Sim- coe Street United Church is hold- ing the second annual Men's Tea a month later this year. The date has been set for April 28 and it is to be an afternoon and evening affair. Last year this enthusiastic doubles club staged the first Men's Tea the Saturday before Easter and it was a grand success. At least it was for the ladies who sported their new Easter outfits and the .club treasurer thought it was excellent from a financial point of view. with the family budget sadly stricken at Easter time for the little lady's outfit, this later date gives the man of the house time to invest in a new spring -hat and top coat. ; There was a catty rumor circu- lated last year that while the men strutted their stuff in the tea room and kitchen, their wives worked like slaves in the basement produc- ing hundreds of sandwiches, little cakes and generally providing the food. This year, however, "Mort" Petrie and his committee including Gordon Davis, Don" Harris and Byron Worden have been secretly thumbing through women's maga- zines for suggestions on open-face as well as two-and three-decker sandwiches in the petite sizes. "We are going to lay down exact specifications for our sandwiches | this year," advised "Mort" Petrie. "In fact we are going to throw out | all our recipes used last year and | give the sandwich making teams | new ones. We want to make our | reputation on our sandwiches and | we don't want any mix ups. For instance if we call for 'a batch of turkey sandwiches we don't want a team to get hold of last year's menu and turn out ham sand- wiches." The tarts too are going to be supreme and with this in mind the food committee some time ago appointed Rev. John Moffatt to do research work on tarts and it is very reliably reported that he has made many sample tests, purely scientific of course, and has come up with the "chef-d'oeuvre" or the last word in raspberry tarts topped with whipped cream. The Men's Tea is.project number 1 of the Fifty Fifty Club this year and the 'club members hope to raise $1,000.00 for the church build- ing fund with this and other pro- jects to follow. Lloyd Moody has been chosen as | the general convener for the Tea with the Rev. John K. Moffat and Charles Chinn, president of the club heading the reception com- mittee. Robert Holden is director of publicity and special names while Frank Singer will head the decoration committee. 'Les' Gould- burn and Roy Clark head the en- tertainment committee; "Norm" Hoag has charge of the kitchen, Harry Chapman the financial ar- rangements while Hugh Gilchrist is going to run a Hobby Show in con- nection with the Tea. Entertaining Talk Given by Eric McVeity To Happy Doubles Mr. Eric McVeity, former member | of the R.C.M.P, addressed the Hap- | py Doubles Club of King Street | United Church, and chose to relate | some of his experiences as a "raw | recruit with the Mounties." Particularly he dealt with his ef- forts to become an expert horse- man, In his humorous way he showed that life in the R.C.M.P. was far from the glamorous ex- perience that so many believed it. Rather it entailed much hardship and a great deal of exacting work. At the same time he emphasized that the respect for law and order in the Canadian West was due in no small measure to the R.CM.P. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Perry, the presidents, were in charge of the business meeting. Mr. George Lean read the secretary's minutes of the last regular meeting and of an exe- cutive meeting. It was announced that the rec- reation meeting on April 19 would be a shoe-box lunch social with court whist and other games. Dr. George Werry announced a Red Cross Blood nor Clinic meeting to be held in the Hotel Genosha on Wednesday, April 11. The committee for the evening consisting of Mr. and Mrs. William Edwards, Mr. and Mrs. Merwood Dale and Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Scott presented an "April" worship service during which Mr. Vernon Osborne and Mr. Merwood Dale sang as a duet "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere."

Last year's models are beng brought up to date by minor changes to suggest the "dernier cri." The increase in clothing prices has been a factor too. "Making do" with the 1950 suit saves money.

Interest in Ballet Keen in Ottawa By KAY REX Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa (CP)--Civil servants | and stenographers, high school stu- dents and even a male hairdresser | | are studying ballet in Ottawa. | tival at It's a movement growing out of | the increased interest Canadians everywhere are taking in the high- stepping artistry. Nesta Toumine, director of the Classical Ballet Company, says there are more ballet companies than formerly. This partly explains the interest. She also believes that the Ballet Festival, now an &nnual event in Canada's cultural life, has a lot to do with the current enthusiasm for the dance, "Yes, the festival, and the fact that more persons are seeing more ballet are responsible for this in- terest," she said in interview. The twinkling toes of dancers such as Jean Stoneham and Joanne Ashe already have come to the at- tention of Ottawa audiences.

Using flowers grown in his own green house, Mr. Puckett showed how simple bouquets of flowers could be arranged and to bring out their natural beauty and to increase their decorative effectiveness. Among some of the designs shown were a young girl's birthday party centre piece, a Christmas mantle, and a bride's bouquet. Bouquets for sick people can be made differ- ently by simply dressing up the container with a ribbon bow or a| diaper for a new baby and mother. After the demonstration the bou- quets of flowers were given as prizes to the ladies present. Mr. Harold Murray introduced "The Dulcitones," a barber shop quartette composed of Messrs. Lanct Pugh, lead: Pat McAdam, tenor; Douglas Chute, baritone, and William Sampson, bass, who en- tertained with some very delight- ful songs sung in the traditional barber shop harmony. They were recalled for several encores. The Rev. J. K. Moffat expressed the thanks of the club to Mr. Puckett and to "The Dulcitones." The devotional period was ccn- ducted by Mr. and Mrs. Ira Travell. The presidents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cuinn, presided for the business portion of the meeting.

Wash-Day Blues Still Handicap British Women By MURIEL NARRAWAY Canadian Press Staff Writer London--(CP) -- A study group which toured Britain diagnosing wash-day Monday blues found plenty of reason for woe. Researchers from London's School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, in their first report, indicate that British housewives have little rea- son to face Blue Monday with the happy smile of a soap-suds adver- tisement. They found that the average wo- man spends between a !2 and 5%: hours doing the weekly wash = 2's to 3'2 over the tub and two hours over the ironing board, They also noted, and commented on, a considerable array of out-moded equipment, cramped washing quar- ters and unsuitable conditions. In extreme cases, there was only the bathroom for wash-day chores.

While anyone--at any age--can take ballet lessons, both Mrs. Tou- mine and Miss le Duc feel children should begin studying at eight if a future in ballet awaits them. Miss le Duc says that even six is not too young. "Dancing gives them poise and it helps to build their bodies," says the Ottawa Ballet Company's director. Miss le Duc also believes that to encourage larger audiences, com- panies should experiment--try new ballets. This she endeavoured to prove this year, the first that capital city audiences have had the opportunity to sit in on three evenings of bal- let--and on each a different pro- gram. This experiment in repertory included eight ballets, most of them new this season.

Sewing machine companies report increased sales of small port=- able hand-worked machines, cheap- est of which cost only 69s 11d. ($10.50). Although these are tiny, light dresses can be made with ease. Another source meeting increased demand is the "figure fitter."

"We ynay also be able to assess the real effect of washing on the health of a house- wife." Equipment Expensive Another criticism in the present report is that -today"s prices for washing machines and laundry ser- vices are too high for the average pocket. Launderettes, where women can take eight to nine pounds of wash, charge from 2s 6d. (38 cents) to 3s. a time and the scarcity of these premises often means a long trudge with a heavy load. For housewives in outlying dis- tricts with no such facilities, re- source to laundry services mean a heavy jolt to the weekly budget. To the 1939 prices which laundries still use a government surcharge of any- thing from slightly more than half to almost 100 per cent of the total charge is added. The percentage is worked out to government ruling and varies with the district. In its references to badly-design- ed accommodation, the report says many housewives have to wash in the kitchen. This means irritation from the comings and goings of the family and steamed-up kitchens which affect food stored there. A tempting comparison is drawn between Swedish and British facili- ties. In Sweden rubber fittings en- large the sinks and stop splashing. Pulley clothes-horses are over the bath instead of dripping above the kitchen floor and a hot towel rail supplies drying heat.

Little Theatre Sends Orangizations Letter Outlining Objective In a letter to many Oshawa cul- tural, educational, religious and rec eational organizations, the Little Theatre today sets out its aims and objectives for the year 1951--52. Signed by Mrs, 'Gordon D. Cone ant, President of the newly-re- formed dramatic group, the letter stresses the fact that the Little Theatre is open to every Oshawa citizen who is interested i~ things | dramatic and aims to be in every |sense of the word a "people's | theatre". | The Little Theatre will not, the letter says, compete in any way with other dramatic and musical organizations in Oshawa, but intends to co-operate through the exchange of equipment and technical skills, It is hoped too to have the help cf all national groups in promoting the aims and objectives of the Little Theatre. "It is the aim of our Little Theatre," says Mrs. Conant, "grad= ually to be able to give Oshawa citizens an opportunity to see and to participate in amateur musical and dramatic productions of as high a standard as possible and to build up a theatrical tradition comparable to that of other Ontario cities. "To do this, we shall need the help of every Oshawg citizen and organ- ization interested in things dramatic, In your organization there must be many people who want to act or | direct, sew, design or make scenery, | handle properties or make-up and take an active part in Little Theatre work. I want to extend to them through you a very warm invi- tation to get in touch with our Secretary, Joan Lambert, at C.R.A., so that we can make the fullest use of all our available skills and talents. "In the fall, we shall be putting on sale subscription memberships for the 1951--52 season, and we invite all who are interested to keep an eye on the local press and to join early. "Many local organizations have themselves been staging excellent dramatic and musical productions over a period of years, and it is not the Little Theatre's intention in any way to compete with them, We hope rather to have their help througn the exchange of equipment and technical skills. We hope also to make use of the acknowledged dramatic and musical talents of the many national groups which make up our community. "Our executive for the year 1951--- 52 consists of G. K. Drynan (1st, Vice-President); A. E. O'Neill (2nd, Vice-President); Miss Joan Lams bert (Secretary); Arthur Crockett (Treasurer); Mrs. Alan Quin and Ernest Winter (Production); Mrs, E. L.
