In the report of the parade it was inadvertently stated this contin- gent came from Whitby. Above is a group of the marching n- naires assembled in front of the well-decorated Legion Hall after competing the march from Alex- SHOWING IN PARADE andra Park to Memorial Park. The Legion went to great pains and expense to decorate the hall, both inside and outside for the She's been looking forward to your marriage ever since you were a little toddler with hair she kept brushing up from your head to en- courage curliness. She cultivated every feminine grace in you ever since she bought your first tiny party dress and led you reluctantly to your first dancing class. Now you're about to be married, and your mother will officiate at the most significant celebration since her own wedding day. Here is the ultimate responsibil- ity for a smoothly functioning, beautifully organized reception. She is the person who will remem- ber everyone's name, see that every guest has a good time, steer old friends into happy groups, and keep a careful check on caterers, musicians and seating ments. To give her the confidence and poise she needs for this many- sided role, she must feel that she is looking her very best. Aware that many eyes are upon her, she needs the assurance that she is (depending on your type of ma- chine). Remove presser foot and set stitch regulator at neutral. Place stamped design in hoops. In- sert hoops under presser bar. Low- er presser bar. Hold end of top thread--lower and raise needle to pick up the bobbin thread and draw thread to the top. Follow the design with a circular motion. Once you've mastered this stitch the results are bound to please both you and the new bride, and as is the case of all truly success- ful gifts, you'll probably want some IT'S DREAM COME TRUE FOR MOTHER OF BRIDE suitably, charmingly and smartly dressed. Such assurance only comes as the result of careful thought and planning well ahead of time. - Weeks before the last minute, she should decide such vital mat- ters as the skirt - length of her dress, its overall silhouette and its color. Floor-length is indicated for a large, very formal wedding at any time of day, or an evening one. Both mothers, the Bride's and the pendent on past rience. Any dress the Bride's m r chooses to wear ought to be one that may look forward to a future of faithful and flattering service. It should follow the general lines of her most becoming clothes in the past and the color should be a truly this, her dress requires one special asset -- a pretty and interesting back line for the benefit of guests already seated for the ceremony when the Bride's mother walks up the aisle. Of course, it's necessary that the skirt move easily and well, and the entire costume including slip, girdle and bra, should be fitted at the same time to insure hest re- sults. When it comes to selecting a hat its charm and artfulness are all-important. Small hats are new- er, younger-looking and far easier to wear in a crowded room than monogrammed towels for yourself. large ones.

Over-all co-ordination gives yo the freedom to mix or match in dividul items so that your liner trousseau be not only mor: flexible but more attractive well. The correct quantity of tow. els, sheets, and so on, is important. For each bed you'll need a min imum of six sheets, a comforter, blanket cover, a light blanket and a heavy one. You should have cases for each pillow. And for the bathroom you'll need at least bath towels, six hand towels face cloths, two bath mats, 12 line guest towels and 12 terry fingertip towels. pending on sleeve length, and they should be matching, white, near- white or a very pale pastel, but never gaily hued. A small handbag with a handle leaves both hands free for welcoming guests. Simple opera pumps or sandals are the most distinguished type of shoe, and flowers should be worn as a part of the costume, never as a tacked-on afterthought!

But come down off your pink cloud long enough to plan a schedule of events and consider your worldly goods. Here is a sys- tem to follow with a list of the the young business woman who must budget her time and money but may serve ag a bleuprint for any bride-to-be. 12 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR WED- DING--and your plans still in the misty stage. Plan the type of wedding you wish -- formal or informal. Decide on the type of gown you'll wear--with price in mind, natural- . Fabric and styling must be ecided on before any thought is given to bridesmaids' dresses, or your mother's attire. Name your maid of honor and bridesmaids. Suggest to your pro- spective groom that he likewise choose his best man and ushers. Advise the clergyman of your plans. Discuss honeymoon location be- fore selecting your trousseau. But important-- Budget your income at this point. List necessary expenses, then luxury expenses. When purchasing, avoid future headaches by keeping the amount for each item listed. For example: Bridal gown, $85 (budget) $75 (purchased). The sav- ings enjoyed in each case will cov- or expenseg such as record- ings, music at your reception, pret- tier floral decorations. BEFORE YOUR WEDDING--and the haze is clear- he Nl r your invitations. Allow more time for engravings than for flat or embossed print. You may be interested in approximate prices, Remember that costs vary different localities but 100 invi- ons engraved, should be around $38 flat print, from $11.50 to $15. Make reservations for your re- eeption, Shop for your trousseau. If you have had a personal hope chest for some time you'll undoubtedly have a portion of your filmy lin- ge! y tucked away. So much to the good! Allow a little «+. more for nylons and experience gxeater satisfaction. It launders with little or no ironing and packs in such a tiny space. EIGHT WEEKS TO GO--Hold that budget: Contact your favorite forist, pho- tographer, caterer and recorder (if any). Decorations for the church, home and reception depend on your choice of flowers and tne extent of the decoration. Bridesmaids bouquets are trom $6 up. For the prespective groom who may be in rested bridal bouquets are from 10; boutonnieres about 40 cents each; corsages from $2.50 (orchids higher, of course). An album nf wedding pictures costs from $50 up and contains from nine to twelve | pictures, Compile the guest list, checking | yours against your fiance's to avoid | duplication. Decide on your bridesmaids' gowns. The final decision is yours {and your wishes should be the | wishes of all concerned. Brides- | maids' gowns are from $29.95 to 1845. Waltz length gowns are more | reasonably priced than floor length. FOUR WEEKS--and time's aflit- ting: Mall invitations immediately. Wind up personal shopping. Purchase gifts for your bridal party. Order your wedding cake. The cost is usually from $25 up. Check to see that your bridal gown will arrive in time for two fittings--if it is a special order. Select your veil and headdress. You'll need the headdress to show your hairdresser but the veil should be made up as late as a week be- fore the ceremony. TWO WEEKS--and butterflies: If you intend to change your hair style do so now (and remember to take your headdress with you.) Try the new styling at least once before you have it set for the day of days s0 it will be "used to you." A wise bride wears her hairs in soft gleaming waves. Nothing bobby- pinned, sausaged or shellacked- looking. Make your appointment with the hairdresser for the afternoon be- fore the wedding and don't forget a manicure. Arrange last-minute details with your caterer. Select the wedding band for your groom, if it's to be a double ring ceremony. Prices from $15 to $30. ONE WEEK -- Seven breathless days and nights: Write a' personal thank-you note to each donor as you receive gifts, and be sure to mention the individ- ual gift in each note, Arrange transportation for spe- cial guests. (A trousseau tea this week). Rehearse on the eve of the Wegding and plan a party after- ward. THE WEDDING DAY--and strains 'of Lohengrin: | Transfer your engagement ring {to your right hand until after the | ceremony. | Check over your bags and pack | the last few items. | Relax in a leisurely bath and |allow a full hour to dress. | Something old--a fine lace-trim- {med handkerchief, perhaps. Some- | thing new--this day and a world of | tomorrows. Something borrowed-- | jewellry is popular. Something blue |--a garter frothed with lace. Choose China, Glass Linens At Same Time Your glass, china and lineus should be chosen at the same time, because they will be used together and create their particu- lar effect in combination with one another. When planning your table setting, decide on the over-all mood you want that setting to suggest -- one of intimacy, informality, sen- timent, delicacy or dramatic im- pact. Consider the type of life you plan to lead, the room where you plan to dine most often, the kind of entertaining you prefer. All three should affect your choice of table setting. A casual buffet table is worlds removed from a formal, tradition- al dinner table. Both can be excit- ing and original, but the basic ingredients are different. However, the most adaptable china and glass are the types that can be dressed up or down, depending on the ar- rangement, linens, centrepiece, and 50 on. Well proportioned goblets with little or no cutting and low stems, neither too stylized nor too rustic --these are your safest bet. Stylish New Designs In Cheaper Luggage Luggage is being lightened by every trick known to the designer. Since almost every one who travels takes to the air sometime, the poundage is a factor. However, sturdiness must be maintained, and this is not sacrificed in the better quality bags. Light play- wood, linen-leather biding make sm looking pieces in several col- ors (so there won't be too many alike piled on the redcap's truck). Matching luggage is the style, and while the general purchase is only two or three bags there is a choice of seven or 'eight pieces alike with a graduated scale of sizes to suit the individual. Plastic fittings make the over- night bag not only a lighter bag to carry, but the plastic break-proof bottles are a boon. There has been much new de- signing in the cheaper bags, the overarm, bags, hatboxes, dunnage bags and the old carpet bag type. Made in fabric and plastic, some- times with leather trim, these are so smartly handled that they prove Here is style in the inexpensive ag. POLIO IN YUKON DAWSON, Y.T. (CP)--An out- break of polio that began at White- horse, about 210 miles southeast of here, has struck five times this week. Dr. John Barker, health officer for the Dawson area, said Thursday that there is one paralytic case and four non-para- lytic. Seventy-five cases, including at least two deaths, were reported from Whitehorse Monday. . ments? 14 ALBERT ST. FOR JUNE WEDDINGS...

Always a problem it seems, and with the current bumper crop of weddings it looks as if many home- makers will be looking for ideas. It is always nice to feel that you have given something really use- ful, as well as attractive, so if you must keep the budget in mind, but still would like to avoid the standard banalties such as trays, or doubtful vases, here is an idea: what could be more acceptable than a pair of handsomely mono- grammed terry towels? You may be able to pick up a pair of plain but very nice ones on sale, or you could uy small hand-towels. Select interesting colors (you might make discreet enquiries about the bride's own preference) then monogram them in a smart contrasting color. One of the most attractive combinations we've seen was a set of gray bath towels embroidered in shocking pink (to Directions For Sewing Those Grand Monogrammed Towels You can do the monogramming quickly and easily right on your own electric sewing machine. Sew- ing Centres are currently demon- strating free of charge, a brand new embroidery technique which does not require the use of any attachments.

HERE'S HOW Here's how to do the Boucle Stitch as demonstrated by sewing centre experts: one should use pearl cotton number 5 or 8 sock yarn on the bobbin with mercer- ized thread in a number 14 needle.
