THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1940 PAGE FIVE THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL An unaccustomed calm hangs on the air, A sombre silence prevails every- where, Save for the drowsy drone of insect : hordes 'And shrill small-twitterings of busy birds. No joyful jibe, no free and happy shout Revives the calm; no lusty laugh rings out. Wise butterflies in veri-colored hues. More boldly frolic flittering in twos. The school bell's loud and clear commanding call Has summoned our cherubic chil- dren all. With earnest smiling faces they've gone away, And left the town a Hamelin today. --Mrs. F. J. Kiefer.

MARRIAGE IN PORT PERRY (M. Cockburn, Corr.) Port Perry, Sept. 14--A pretty wedding took place in the Por: Perry United Church when Rachel Somerville, daughter of Mrs. John Jeffrey of Greenbank, became the bride of Mr. Sidney George Small- man, son of Mr, and Mrs. R. B. Smallman, of Port Perry. The bride, who was given in marirage by her cousin, Mr. John Somerville, wore a gown of blue silk tricotine with coral accessories and corsage of roses. She was attended by her sis- ter, Miss Kate Jeffrey, of Port Perry, who wore a frock of wine silk trico- tine with rose corsage and match- ing accessories. The groomsman was Mr. William Beare. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. J. H. Smyth. Quantities of gladioli were used to decorate the church. After- wards a reception was held at Cric- klewood Lodge where the bride's mother received in a gown of navy crepe. She was assited by the groom's mother, who wore lilac crepe. The happy couple will reside in Toronto. Feet are in favor! Fashion is turning her eyes down to the feet. She's given us cut-outs, wedgies. spring-soles, bare-legged and bare- foot, or semi-bare-foot styles. She's polished our toe, improved our pedicure, shown us that feet can be comfortable and good to look at both 'at the same time. And if we would keep our feet in favor, then we must massage them for comfort and beauty, both. > + + Massage should do two things: Keep skin soft, smooth and .snag- free; counteract the foot strains that develop because shoes keep feet rigid all day long. Use a rich foot or hand cream and work it well up from toes to ankles. "Spread" toes out to counteract the constric- ting effect of shoes. ¥ hb Start with thumbs below and fingers above, at centre of foot, and work outward (hands moving in opposite directions) with a round and round "pulling" movement. Now hold ball of foot firm with the fingers, work toes down as far as they will go, pressing with the thumbs. Repeat, a little farther across the foot each time, WOOL LEADS IN FALL FASHIONS The die is cast--American design- ers have completed and sold their first collection, and now the Haute Couture houses of New York have had a ten-day orgy of fashions such as New York has never before seen. "All American Fashions," have been borne, christened and are on their way. Lavish, elegant, glittering and colorful it has been--fabrics of great importance, furs of finest quality--jewels for every hour of the day and head gear that is certainly more becoming and less crazy than in former years. Gold military braid, sequins in gold and silver, and color embroid- eries in beads and black jet are the highlights of fall high fashions. Black bugles, enough to rouse an army if they were the right kind. Although there are many period clothes in the 1910 Edwardian and Victorian manner, there are a great many very wearable, simple slim dresses, suits and dinner tailleurs-- and many beautifully fitted coats. The sheer woollens for daytime dresses are found in all collections. Wonderful tweeds and lightweight woollens, magnificent plain black fabrics and tweeds for suits, coats and for evening wraps. The smartest of all the evening clothes are the slim, sheer wool tailleurs and these are by far the most practical, and the colors are most often black, mid- night" blue, beige, champagne and grey, frequently two tone greys which are the most elegant of all. White wool jersey and black wool jersey vie with each other for even- ing wear, Jewels are more colorful and more dramatic each season. Ear-rings, bracelets, necklaces and rings match in design and jewel arrangement. There is some satin for evening and dressy afternoon also, quilted like bed covers, but my guess is that the smart wool dressy afternoon little model with fur topped gloves and hat to match will be not only lots smarter but heaps more prac- tical. One of the most stunning even- ing wraps of the "Grand Semaine" of fashion was Wilson Folmer's great coat made of camel's hair in natural color. What a wrap for the winter night when one drives to the theatre and has to walk across the square or street. How comfy to sling over the shoulders as one goes into the lobby in the entre act. The flim- slest tulle or chiffon would be safe under the comforting wing of - this coat that seems to be a natural all the way around -- natural camel's hair, natural protection and a nat- ural for chic--as well as a natural for western cities where one drives miles in the cold to dine with friends, to small bridge parties or to dine and dance at a favorite spot. Red flannels under ski clothes are not more important than a good piece of wool to wrap around your sheer evening gown. Chic comfort is the cheering thought that warms the heart and "All This and Heaven Too" sort of feeling on a cold wint- er's night.

Vallentyne, Principal of the Ontario School for the Blind, has been awarded the silver medal, emblematic of second prize in the Ontario Horticultural Association's contest for the best original poems of not more than 24 lines on the White Trillium, Ontario's floral em. blem. The contest was open to Secondary School students. First prize, a gold medal, was won by Miss Milena Matuska, Pat- terson Collegiate Institute, Windsor, and the third prize, a bronze medal by Miss Louise Miller, Collingwood Collegiate Institute. Both Miss Vallentyne and Miss Matuska were fourth form pupils at their respective collegiates where they wrote their winning poems. Miss Vallentyne is this year,in the fifth form of the B. C. I. Hundreds of pupils submitted their verses to local colleglates and the two best were sent to a com- mittee of judges headed by Prof. George Herbert Clarke, Queen's University, Kingston, who made the final awards from over 100 poems. The contest has evoked much in- terest in Ontario's floral emblem, states J. A. Carroll, Secretary of the Ontario Horticultural Associa- tion, in announcing the awards. 0. L. C. Helen L. Mitchell of Ontario Ladies' College, Whitby, was among those who received honorable men. tion. Following are two of the prize- winning poems: THE WHITE TRILLIUM (By Milena Matuska) Trillium graceful, Trillium white, Star of the woodland, Lady of light-- Lo, how she proudly Stands in the giade, Tri-sceptred sovereign, Queen of the shade. Stately she rises, Slender-stemmed, tall, Gracious response to Spring's early call Lifting three leai-arms High from the sod, Gazing with pure face Up at her God. ONTARIO'S EMBLEM (By Mary Vallentyne) (It is a scientific fact that white is a composite of all colors and can be broken up to prcduce a rainbow effect, as light is broken up by a prism). This Trillium in my hand--white-- Embodiment of color-- Dazzling splendid white, Pure white: With the scarlet of the maple And the crimson of the rose; With the purple shades of evening When the sturdy thistle blows; With the emerald of the shamrock And the gold of fleur-de-lis, And the dusty blue of twilight: It is this, and more, to me. It has turquoise of the heaven, It has yellow of the sun, It has orange of the dawning When the day is first begun. There are greys of misty mornings As the fisherman sets out; There is sparkled flash of silver At the leaping of the trout; Browns and blacks of tow'ring forest And the sapphire of a lake: Ah, the multi-colored fancy That this simple white can make. KNICK-KNACKS A teaspoon parsley, chopped very fine and sprinkled in with the oth- er ingredients, makes a delicious new flavor to the salad, Parsley contains a large amount of iron-- so it is very good for us. * +» No more searching for pins and needles in your workbasket. Keen a magnet inside and all the stray | pins and needles will cling to it-- | ready to hand when you want them, * » + When kitchen tables have been discolored, wash and scrub in the usual way, then rinse in some blue water. You will find that it makes the table much whiter. "e Parent Problem $y GARRY C. MYERS, Ph.D. The child on the way to and from school, especially in the vil- lage and country, is tempted often to trespass on private property. He may steal fruit and trample down crops. Very annoying to the owner, his misdemeanor is peril- ous to the child's moral character. An occasional city child will snatch fruit from the vegetable stand. At noon and after school I have seen many well-dressed school children crowding in local stores, especially the five and ten- cent store. Obviously not nearly all of them are there to make pur- chases, nor do all buy the things they get. Vast is the damage to their character. Their parents are responsible. Rights of Others Now and then children trained at home to respect property will imitate other children at appro- priating property. They need fur- ther guidance. We parents owe it to our community and our chil- dren to train them to respect the rights of others in the neighbor- hood from the time they begin to toddle and to impress on them the importance of keeping on the high- way and sidewalk on the way to school, no matter what other chil- dren do. Some children will cross lots and lawns, breaking down shrubs, wrecking fences. or proving a menace to crops. They will climb fruit trees or knock down fruit net yet ripe. Complaints from property owners reach the school. but the school is not responsible for the child's conduct when away Gleam of Jet By GRACE THORNCLIFFE The subdued glitter of jet illu- mines many of the dinner and eve- ning things now in readiness for the coming season. One of the most delightful of the new models is this dinner dress fashioned of black crepe. Bands of jet embroidery are applied horizontally across the bodice and around the sleeves. Two vertical bands criss-cross the others front and back. The shoul- ders are puffed above the sleeves. The skirt is full with gathers con- centrated center front and back. from these school grounds. The parents are. However, wise teach ers prevail upon their children at school to avoid trespassing. More« over, the school needs to control children during recess in relation to surrounding property. Proper guidance in these matters is edu~ cation for good citizenship. Straight and Narrow Insist that your child go directly to school in the morning and re- turn directly after school, Estab- lish this good habit as soon as your child begins school atten=- dance. Well, for the mother to be home, always to make the child's homecoming attractive. The child who loiters on the way is in physi- cal and moral danger. If your child does loiter, let him know that you consider him too immature to manage himself and that you will go to school for him, preferably, on foot, until he is grown up enough to bring himself home promptly. In case your youngster wishes to go to the home of a playmate, let him come home first and go from there. If punish- ment seems necessary for loiter= ing, let it consist of sitting on a chair doing nothing for at least an hour for each offense, Shank's Mare Many thousands of school chil- dren must be transported by bus. Fortunate for your child if the bus driver is well selected and is given authority to refuse taking the child who does not abide by the estab- lished rules. If the child does not have himself ready when the bus arrives let him stay home and sit for at least two hours doing nothing and stay in the house all that day. Let the same rule hold if the father takes the child on his way to work. No reason why parents should have to worry about getting the child ready for school on time. Let him do the worrying. Excepting in bad weather, chil- dren old enough to walk should have to walk to school, even for a mile or so. There are but very few in- stances when high school children should drive a car to school. Having to walk is good for their health and character. Solving Parent Problems Q.
