She handles much of the prime minister's confidential mail and arranges many of his appointments. The constantly changing job demands flexibil- ity and she has solid educational experience to meet the challenge.

'The following year, when Mr, Pearson joined the St. Laurent cabinet as external affairs minister, he asked Miss Macdonald to become his on- staff assistant. She has been with him ever since. A sense of timing and a fan tastic memory for names and faces are Miss Macdonald's stock in trade as she operates in the hectic atmosphere of the PM's office, "Ves, 1 think this is the stage where you should speak to the PM,"' she tells an anxious back- bencher, "Of course, I remember that particular problem," she as- sures another, The pace of her. work is ex- hausting but she seems to thrive on it, When Parliament is in session she starts at 9:15 a.m, and seldom leaves before 10:30 p.m, except on Wednesday and Friday nights when she tries to get away at 7 p.m. When Mr. Pearson was first elected to Parliament in 1948 she began looking after the po- litical organization of his riding. She has been doing this ever since and obviously enjoys it. at aaa ea Lad ok ho oo aon ee einai hao. "Tl sort of take care of the home front," she says.

Miss Macdonald comes from Maritime Scottish-Irish stock. "My father, A. A.

THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, October 6, 1968 23 Upholstered Creations By ELEANOR KOSS Today's leisure living may well be the reason for the ex- tremely comfortable designs in upholstered 'sofas and chairs seen in the stores, New living room {furniture joffers extra plumpness that is decidedly conducive to a state of complete relaxation, a far cry from the grim horsehair rigidity of the past, Those were the days when people sat bolt upright, Now they lounge in soft, sink- in luxury, their bodies weight- lessly pended on hioni of soft new materials such as latex foam rubber, This new plump look is seen in chairs, sofas, chaises, re- cliners, ottomans, pouffs and throw pillows, It is the new rounded silhouette and occurs in all styles of furniture, whether traditional or the most extreme modern, It is seen in the new country casual pieces |For Overstuffed Comfort inat fairly buige with cushion: ing, with thickiy napped taprics to add to the leisurely look and feeling. The newly revived "modern" look of the '30s is similarly overstuffed, The holstery fabrics are high pile and velvety to suit this new softness, The "velvet" look is gaining, emphasizing the opulent treat- ment of the new furniture. Cor- duroy, suede cloth, deep tex- tures--they all lend their quote of richness to the voluptuous over-all effect, In better furniture, designers achieve the plump look with five - inch « thick crowned foam rubber cushions, Economy mod- els use urethane plastic foam wrapped in synthetic fibres to give surface softness, Much of the current seating is closer to the floor and it is over-sized and extra soft, The "'pouffy" cushioning helps ac- centuate the low pitch.
