The possibility of a new approach to the Gilbert and Sullivan opera stirred considerable comment among London devotees, The following excerpt from an article by Dr. Guthrie in The Times of London calms the an- guished spirits of devoted Savoy- ards in Canada and England. INNOVATION IN THEATRE Since the recent lapse of Sulli- van's copyright in "Pinafore", and since the work came into the public domain, there have been television productions both in Can- ada and the United States, and, more importantly, there has been a superb recording, conducted by Sir Malcolm Sargent and sung by a bevy of our finest British sing- ers. But, to the best of my know- ledge, this will be the first pro- fessional stage production other than those of the D'Oyly Carte Company. It may be recalled that just before the copyright lapsed there was some agitation to have the Toronto Group Wins Traffic Safety Award Prize, $1000 A program designed to teach traffic safety to pre-school child- ren has won for the Junior League of Toronto $1,000 and a handsome bronze statuette. The League cap- tured first place in the annual Carol Lane Awards, administered by the Canadian Highway Safety Council on a grant from the Shell Oil Co. of Canada, Ltd. 1 Second place, carrying with it a cheque for $500 and a plaque, went to the Women's Institute of Echo Hill, a small rural Alberta com- munity north of Edmonton. The women of Echo Hill campaigned to have reflectorized material pro- minently exhibited on all farm equipment using the highways. In third position, a Montreal group won $250 and plaque for providing "safe route" maps to school children, It was the School Traffic Safety Committee of the West End Safety Council in Montresl's Notre Dame de grace. The trophies and cheques will be presented to the representatives of the winning groups at the Coun- cil's annual conference in Van- couver, May 2, 3 and 4. management, a service would have been done either to Gilbert, Sullivan, the D'Oyly Carte Com- pany, or the public. Evidently Miss Bridget D'Oyly Carte, the head of the company, felt the same way, for she publicly disso- ciated herself and her company from the petition. SURVIVAL-POWER THE TEST The D'Oyly Carte companies have through the years endeared themselves and given great plea- sure to countless thousands of us English-speaking world. It im- plies neither ingratitude nor dis- respect to think that there may be other, and no worse, ways of presenting the operas and that it is now time to let the public see what these other ways may be like. Some of them may be as vulgar as the worst fears of the petitioners. That risk must be taken, We have all from time to time witnessed in the theatre some pretty murderous attacks upon the works of Shakespeare or of Verdi, The works are great enough to survive; and I would go so far as to say that their re- putation is not injured but en- hanced because of the very ird and wild of the il- relevant law p and have the Gilbert and Sullivan operas protected "in perpetuo" by copyright (in whom vested was never entirely clear) in order to save them from being rocked 'n rolled, swung, jived, bumped and ground. A petition to this SQUARE DANCE Paintings in Individual Settings Brave, Praiseworthy Exhibit An exhibition of paintings in oil and water colors in Simpson's Baker Galleries is evoking en- thusiastic comment from -crea- tive artists and casual viewers.

The March 31 at the Royal York staging, but is rather what suc- cessive stage-managers can re- construct of Gilbert's work from prompt books; further, that stag- ing designed by Gilbert for the display of Grossmith, Jessie Bond or Rutland Barrington can- not possibly be equally appropri- ate for the display of all their many successors; further that, brilliant though much of the orig- inal staging still is, much of it has dated lamentably, sometimes even laughably. There are fa- shions in theatrical direction just as in everything else. today's fashions are, of course, no bet- ter than those of 80 years ago, but inevitably they are different. NOT REVOLUTIONARY At Stratford my production will make no attempt whatever to be revolutionary. Our decors, by Brian Jackson, will naturally not be quite the same as the D'Oyly Carte production, but there are not too many ways os suggesting that the stage represents the deck of a man o' war, so it will not be startlingly different. We shall stick closely to the period (1878) in the dresses and uniforms; we shall aim at abgul the same de- gree of realism as did Gilbert's production; the choreography, in- evitably, will reflect the influ- ence on the stage which has been wrought by films and television -- grouping will be less sym- metrical 'and more informal. there will be less precisely drilled and synchronized movement for the chorus. Our chorus and most of our principals will be younger than their counterparts of the D'Oyly Carte Company. They will lack the experienced authority of vet- erans, but in the New World youth and youthful vitality are, whether rightly or wrongly, more highly prized than here, and the faults of inexperience are over- looked, if there is compensating freshness and charm. - MUSICAL PASTICHE We shall aim at, and I am gng more oblique approach than This is the third year for the Carol Lane Awards in Canada.

But do be careful, during the latter part of October, not to spend money foolishly, or you could wipe out the gains possible between now and then. Look for good financial news in August. Domestic, social and romantic interests should prove harmoni- ous, during most of the year, and Ni ber and D ber point to fine achievement in job mat- ters. Vibrations during January will be fine for monetary and career interests; will also favor personal and business prestige.

What You Should Know about Metallic Materials There's no doubt about it, metallic yarns or fabrics do produce beautiful garments . . . but they also have a few peculiarities you should know about. Fon instance, wrinkling of metallic fabrics in wear or handling cannot be removed. Therefore, if you own a gown made of this glittering fabric extra cere should be token. Metallic threads are also subject to discoloration. And some may even be coated with o locquer easily affected by perspiration. Other contributing factors that are damaging to metallic yarns are abrasion, friction and flexing in areas, such es, across the back, under-arms and where you sit down. Metalic designs are produced in a variety of ways. How- ever, metal pigment powder stuck to a fabric to produce @ design is not generally serviceable. That's why, when we re- ceive a garment of this type, we tell you it's at your own risk. And even if possible to clean there would be a gradual loss of the design. Of course, some \ metallic designs are "more serviceable than others. But we would like our customers to understand that such fabrics haye limitations over which we have no control. And these are not defects but part of their nature. There are other fobric problems to consider, too, when you're shopping for a new dress or skirt, such as a pleated fabric made by mechenical means and not in the weaving. These are re- movable by water or wet-cleaning.

Every month | go through two or three days of absolute misery. | have tried everything under the sun. Can't anything be done for this periodic pein? --Miss W. A. Most women probably have some periodic discomfort but consider it normal and pay little attention to it. Although dysmen- orrhea (difficult or painful men- struation) can be caused by spe- cific disorders, in most cases no cause can be found. If the doctor who examines you fails to pin- point the cause, don't assume thot he is going to say, "It's oll in your head." The pain is there and no one knows it better than the sufferer, The first step in get- ting lasting relief of the "cause- less" type of dysmenorrhea is often difficult for the victim be- cause it may involve disregarding folklore and unleoming false ideos about a normal and natural function. Menstruation is not a state of ill health although terms commonly applied to it often imply illness. Some women have . the false notion that menstru- ation is some sort of purgation which rids the body of poisons or that it is on indication of in- feriority. Talk things out with your doctor. You may be sur- prised at the results. Q. Our 3.year-old is mentally okay but doctors say she is com- deaf. Are there eny books or pamphlets thet will help us with our problem? A.

Q. | have had four children all boys. What are my chances of having a girl the next time? A. At each pregnancy there is a 50-50 chance of having o child of either sex, regardless of the sex of the preceding children. After four children of the same sex, the chances are still 50-50 that a child of the opposite sex will be born the next time. It's like flipping a coin. One side may come up repeatedly. but with each toss of the coin there is a 50-50 chance of the opposite side showing up. Q. Is there as much vitamin B and C in canned and in frozen foods as in fresh foods? A. So far as is known there is little loss of vitamin B ond C in the canning of fruits, vegetables, and fruit juices.
