. PAGE FOURTEEN THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1929 EA A CATHOLIC WOMEN'S LEAGUE. CONVENE Activities During Past' Year Reviewed by Speaker " 3 oe Windsor, Ont, June is he activities of the 2tholle Wonss League of C: "dur past year were I Np irins night by Mrs. J. J. Duggan of Edmonton, Alta., , retiring president, at the opening of the ninth .annual con- 'vention of the organization, form- ed in Edmonton © in. 3913, The league is composed of 453 district subdivisions throughout with a membership of 40,000 wo- men. _ The problems of the League are world-wide, the president said. The members were something more than Canadian-~--they were part of a great international or- ganization of Catholic women em- bracing 27 nations with a mem- bership of 25,000,000. "As such it 1s a happy privilege tonight to tell you that our work 'and efforts have received the per- sonal recognition of our Holy Fa- ther, who in a letter to our inter- » 'mational president says the ompor- tance of questions both religious and social dealt with our organiza- tion in conformity with the prin- ciples of Catholic doctrine and .morals aré indeed agreeable to the heart of the common Father of the faithful," Mrs. Duggan said. "Particularly pleasing to His Hon- ness is our participation as laity in the apostolate of the clergy for the defence of religious and moral principles. In his' letter Hig Holl- ness also expresses the h that in our grouping through Interna- tional organization the Catholic 'Women's Leagues of the various countries by unity of opinion and action may act as a lever for Chris- tian social restoration in what he 'describes as the sad social and family conditions in the world to- day. "Important also is that part of the Holy Father's letter dealing with affiliation with neutral asso- clations. His letter says: "To con- serve for your union its true Cath- olic character, its proper objective and its exact compliance to the direction of the Holy See it is nec- essary that the leagues individual- ly do not affiliate with neutral as- sociations of women.' " Mrs. Duggan said ag an interna- tional body the league was accord- ed a place on the child welfare commission of the League of Na- tions last December. Child wel- fare was as old as the Catholic church itself, she said, and had been an important activity in prac- tically every sub-division, where ae results had been very gratify- ng. Immigration was at the moment one of the greatest and most vita objectives of the league, the presi- dent said. Each year had seen an increase in the chain of hostels and Rosary Halls linking up larger cit- ies across Canada, During this year the league's immigration work had received encouragement and recognition through its being affiliated with the newly-formed Catholic Society of Canada for Bri- tish migration. Through the hos- tels and Rosary Halls of the Canada | 8 league, which were recognized by the Catholic Society as their im- migration * headquarters, would come the follow-up work among the. new Canadians who come through the society. - Finding or cottages, and employment for fam- flies and domestics, would increase fhe league's work in the sub-divi- sions, she said. "Discussing further the activities of the league in immigration work, Mrs. Duggan said the newcomers 'the Catholic f received their , welcome in Canada through C. W. L. workers and Sisters of Service at the ports of entry. A the larger distributing centres e league's hostels receive girls and women and through their em- ployment bureau are able to place them satisfactorily, while families oing {into sub-divisions are ex- tended the hand of welcome on ar rival and receive the attentions that make them contented Cana- dian Citizens. . "The sum total of this immigra- tion work is that the district sub- divisions, particularly those of the west where there is the greatest number of newcomers. "Mrs. Dug- gan said, "cannot be over-estimat- ed and the personal contact helps so much in preserving the faith of our newcomers." The league's Sisters of Service at the porte, in charge of the league's hostels and on the fron- tier, of the western missions, were laboring for the salvation of souls and ministering to the material comfort of those coming with hope and confidence to Canada, she said. "They have a right to expect the protection of hose to whose faith they belong," Mrs, Duggan added. Mrs. Duggan said the league had come to the stage where the mem- bers saw the need and realized the true value of united action as com- pared with the individual, the scat- tered and oftimes disappointed ef- forts of earlier times. To this end she urged thorough organization. She felt after two years as presi- dent the need of a field secretary to visit sub-divisions and instruct them in the objects of the league in its broadest terms, and to see were running smoothly and on progressive lines. "To attain this end funds are necessary and before this conven- tion comes to a close I would again recommend that allowance be made for organization on a firm and lasting basis." Mrs. Duggan reported that Miss Kathleen Fears of Calgary, Alta., winner of the first national C.W.L. scholarship was making brilliant progress at Brescia Hall, London, after one year's work, and that the winner of the second annual scholarship would be announced during the convention. The far-reaching efforts of edu- cational work in the league's dis- trict sub-divisions could not be overestimated, the president said, and the self-sacrifice and devotion of the members to this cause could not fail to bring reward. Not only had scholarships, medals and lib- raries been given to encourage pu- pils,. but schdols themselves were from year to year wholly and en- tirely supported through the lea- gue in various parts of Canada. In eoncluding Mrs. Duggan urg- ed the members to use the privilege of 'the ballot like all other good gifts. "By proper organization and careful study we can so use our strength that our influence will count on every issue," she said, OSHAWA Saturday, WO COMPLETE FORMANCES DAILY £20 SEATS ON SALE 22 une fi VIEWPOINT THE GREATEST CUS DOORS OPEN 1 HOUR EARLIER - Ra Rh CIRCUS DAY AT JURY & LOVELL, DRUG STORE SAME PRICE AS AT THE SHOW GROUNDS hp "> INSULATING BUILDING BOARD ..

WATER WORKS ASSOCIATION TO MEET IN TORONTO Comprehensive Programme Arranged For Con- vention Toronto, Ont., June 15.--Papers on leading water works developments in Canada will occupy a prominent place on the programme of the 49 annual convention of the American Water Works Association which is to be held in Toronto, June 24 to 28. Delegates in attendance will" number in the neighborhood of 1,400 and they will come from all parts of Canada and the United States. The object of the Association is to bring together men interested in the design, construction and operation of waterworks plants, to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information and provide a help- ful medium of intercourse. In addition to the technical papers and discussions which follow them, a very important feature of the con- vention is the very complete, com- prehensive exhibition of water works and supplies displayed at.every con- vention. At the Toronto convention, there 'will be eigthy firms displaying all sorts of machinery, equipment and supplies necessary in modern water work service, During the five days of the con- vention there will be general sessions and numerous simultaneous sessions of the three main divisions of the Association. These three divisions are: Plant Management and Opera- tion Division. particularly conducted for superintendents of water works plants; Water Purification Division; and the Fire Protection Division. The following is a list of Canadian papers to be presented by Canadian engineers and water works men "Operating Experiences with Large Capacity Filter Plant," J.

The demand for water is growing even faster than the increase in pop- country would because a steadily in- proportion of the population is living in communities served by water works, and with ulation. of the indicate, more industries and better living con- ditions the per capita consumption is mounting continuously. This increase of water co s is in the accompanied by development in the territory about each community, which in most cases make it neces- to modernize existing plants or to build costly new works for additional supplies. FRENCH GIVING WAY T0 ENGLISH IN DIPLOMATIC CORPS Many Members Speak Five or Six Languages Washington, D.C, June 19.--French rapidly is giving way to English as the official language of the diploma- tic corps in Washington, Before the world war, foreign gove ernments did not consider it essen- tial that the heads of their missions to the United States and the attach- es of the embassies and legations study English before going to Wash- ington, French, German and their na- tive language was considered suffi- cient but rapid growth of Washing- ton as a world diplomatic center and the fact that few Americans speak any foreign language sufficiently to understand the quips and turns of diplomatic dealings; brought the ne- cessity of every diplomat understand- ing some English before being as- signed to Washington. At present the only member of the diplomatic corps here who does not use ' English. at all is the Turkish ambassador, Ahmed Mouhtar Bey, who speaks only French in addition to his own language. : The ambassador has the reputation rench- man," and constantly uses that lang- F.C. { Y 0 Simcoe B02 ....

Ciscount D'Alte, the Portugese minister, who has been in Washing- ton for nearly 30 years, has the 1ep- utation of speaking the most perfect English of the non-English members of the corps. The Belgian ambassador, the Prince de Linge, Chinese Minister Wu, and the Hungarian minister, Count Szech- enyi, all speak English without a trace of accent, having spent con- siderable time in England. Mahmoud Samy Pasha, Egyptian minister, was educated in England, and speaks per- fect English with an Oxford accent, Among 'the staffs of the non-Eng- lish-speaking missions, Dr. O. «, Kiep, counselor of the German em- bassy, and Stanislaw Lepkowski of the Polish legation are about tied for first place in the use of perfect Eng- lish, The German foreign service re- quires that its members speak, read and write German, French and Eng~ lish before being sent to foreign coun- tries, Meetings of the diplomatic corps are conducted in English, Sir Esme Howard being dean of the corps. Fos many years, however, the meetings were conducted in both French and English, with about one-half the mem- bers not knowing what the other half was talking about. Many of the members of the corps are 'language experts, some speaking five and six languajes Auently. Cuban Ambascador Ferrara holds the record. He is proficient in Italian, Spanish, French, English, German and has a fair knowledge of several others, ENGLISH VIEWS OF AMERICAN GIRLS Traveller From England in America Comments on Action of American Girls I am just back from a three months' visit to New York, a crowded, hectic, happy three months, But of all the kaleidoscopic impressions that I have brought back with me to England, the most vivid is that of my contem- porary, the modern American girl, In London I belong to what 1s usu- ally regarded as a smart, modern ser. We have got rid of most of the old social taboos, we are frank -- far franker than our parents approve -- and we try to look at life without fear. Therefore, when I landed in New York the last thing I expected to feel was old-fashioned. But I had not been a week in the city of soaring towers before I felt as old-fashioned as my own grandmother. The modern American girl made me gasp, and in more ways than one, She is certainly beautiful and she has learnt how to dress. I never saw girls and women, too, so beautifully turned out as many I met in the great mansions of Fifth Avenue! She 1s, morever, alert and intelli- gent, sparkling socially, self-assured, and excellent company. But it was not these qualities that left me gasp- ing. Why should they? We have no monopoly, nor has France, of pretty girls who are also chic and clever, too. : The modern American girl makes a cult of the daring, and sh¢ carrics this cult to lengths the we, in Eng- land, would not tolerate. At one of the first parties I went to, there was a really beautiful girl, certainly not more than nineteen years of age, with a baby complexion, and a baby mouth, and big baby "Ap rooms. Architects and builders who specify 'pine' for modern homes, have their judgment verified by centuries of satisfactory service, Through all the changes in archi tecture and mode of living, the dignified home of pine has remain- ed perennially "in style." Modern designers are using pine not only for exteriors of enduring charm, but for hospitable panelled living and We have genuine White Pine in practically every grade, in stock.

She talked with a freedom that would have stamped her in England as beyond the social pall. She consumed a num- ber of coktails that would have left me senseless on th: floor. And she danced with an abandon and shame- lessness that made me blush for her. The American girl who would not be written down as a bromide, which means a bore, must behave entirely out of character, However, innately virtuous she may be she is obliged, so it seems, to be familiar with her boy friends, to allow them astonish- ing liberties. of speech; to indulge in petting, in car or sccluded lounge or smokc room, and, above all, to be ready at all times for a drink. At heart I believe she is perfectly sound. But'I am convinced that the present fashion for excessive drink- ing, petting and coarse speech is fraught with dangers for her. Personally, I left the city firmly convinced that the modern American girl is spoiling herself at the behest of a passing phase of vulgarity and simulated looseness. I have heard well-bred American girls use expressions that would scan- dalise a Mayfair drawing room, | have heard them discuss with young men subjects usually not mentioned between the Twenties of the sexes, with a stark frankness that amazed me, --Saturday Night, Her manner, however, suggested a Pyramid and National Brand Portland Cement Sole Agents Fred Flintoff & Sons 13 King St. W.
