Whenever changes were made, they were usually prompted by| a need for more practical and serviceable dress blouse and jumper, which can be laundered more often, and detachable bib, The old dress including its bib, was all of. one piece. Narrow sleeves, ending in tight, less cumbersome. cuffs, were substituted for wide, bell- shaped sleeves. Wide sleeves were found to be particularly }impractical for hospital work Mother Laramee said. SAVE NUNS' TIME The new habit also has a simpler head-dress and fewer pleats.

Twenty-two women, most of them farmers' wives, are in- volved. The youngest is 29 and the oldest over 60. They're doing the RCAF's 10BX plan for women The program, which has been praised by Alan' Miller, Mani- amateur sport, was started. in April by Mrs, Lois. Rutherford, a farmer's wife and mother of five. A trim-figured woman who used to be a physical education teacher in rural schools, Mrs, Rutherford got the idea after |taking a 10-week YMCA fitness }coume in Winnipeg last. winter. She broached the idea to neighbors during an off-hand jchat in the tommunity store in jthis community of 50 families |20 miles northwest of Winnipeg. The response was immediate. | MEET ON MONDAYS | .Monday night became fitness night.

The: women tntatively plan to resume their meetings in Sep- tember although they may be further delayed by the pressure of harvest, The general comment on the program is favorable. "Most of us have lost weight and are feeling in better shape generally," says Mrs. Ruther- ford, "I know I'm finding mus- cles I never felt before." One member who said she was 'fiftyish" remarked: "I could run 100 yards when I started the the course I can still run 100 yards--only I'm a little faster now." MEMBERS COMPETE The Monday night' meetings have become social events, with coffee, refreshments and chit-| chat served along with exercise, | And this is one reason for the) }program's success. | Another, says Mrs, Ruther- ford, is that '"'a little competi- tion" has been instilled, the women comparing notes and/ trying to reach certain levels as} quickly as possible. | Mr, Miller says such pro- grams are being set up in other) ;communities and that the prov-) j ince is in favor of them because! jthey encourage fellowship as well as better health, Dr. Gordon Cumming, direc: jtor of the heart laboratory a the Winnipeg Children's Hospi-| tal and an active figure in ne ness tests 'and studies, also com- mended the program; But he} jadded: "I would think the peo- |ple who ought to do it are in the city, not the hard-working, | people in the: country." | WIFE PRESERVER Ordinary red clay flower Pots | will look like: Mexican treasures | if you paint on a little desi, |work here and. .there. 1 Well Known Pair Guests of Honor At Surprise Party « At Myrtbe Hall a surprise 25th anniversary party was given to Mr. and Mrs. Ray Brown recently. course, and after two months in) ------_____.

EACH ORDER DECIDES The late Pope. Pius XII guggested a decade ago that religious orders needed to adapt | their clothing to modern condi-| tions, but it was left up to the} individual orders to decide whether or no to make changes. | Some orders decided against making changes and, said Arch. | bishop M. C. O'Neill of Regina, "if they haven't changed by now, I doubt that they will." Sister St. Miriam of the Con.' gregation of Notre Dame, Mont-| real, said nuns resist fashion changes--however slight these | may seem to the public--partly | for economic reasons but.partly | also because of tradition. | She said a nun has an image) of herself after living in a com-} munity for awhile and her gar- ment is a part of that image) and of the whole tradition be- hind the community. This feeling for tradition was possibly stronger in Quebec than elsewhere in Canada but, nevertheless, some changes had been made for practical rea- sons. . FOUR MODELS TO CHOOSE FROM MAY PREFER COATS AGEAMATIC ARE PRICED FROM Sister St. Miriam said changes made by her order have included elimination of a large over-sleeve, shortening of skirts, and frequent substitution of coats for long winter capes. Others among the 80 con- munities of nuns in Montreal) "have made similar changes in the last four years or are at least considering them." Mother Marie Laramee, assistant-general at the Grey Nuns' mother .house in Mont- real, said their order has made changes in its dress for reasons of hygiene, simplicity and time- saving. : The new habit consists of a IF YOUR DESTINATION IS "SUN" AND THEN 'FUN' ~ THIS IS THE PLACE TO COME FIRSTI \ EIGNEUR'S OSHAWA '*- SHOPPING CENTRE GNVIERINS OPEN EVENINGS TILL 9 P.M.
