CHURCH SCENE OF WEDDING Albert Street United Church was the setting for the marriage on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 of Jennie Wasylyk, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, John Wasylyk, and Mr. Cecil McKnight, son of Mr. and Mrs. John McKnight. Rev. T. H. P. Anderson officiated and Mrs. J. Wiltshire played the wedding mu- sic. The bride's father gave her in marriage and she wore a gown of white brocaded satin fashioned on princess lines with full train, and bodice softly pleated to a wide yoke. Her veil, gathered at the nape of the neck, was gathered to a halo of orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of white roses and wore the groom's gift a gold cross. The bridesmaids, Miss Kathleen Hunt and Miss Elizabeth Farkas wore similar gowns of brocaded taf- feta studded with tiny brilliants and matching bows in their hair. Miss Hunt's gown was blue and Miss Farkas wore pink. They both carried bouquets of pink roses and white baby chrysanthemums. Mr. W. Ballan and Mr. John Powlen- zuk attended the groom. At the reception at the home of the bride's sister, her mother wore navy sheer and a corsage of rea roses and white baby chrysanthe- mums. The groom's mother was in navy crepe with pink roses and chrysanthemums, FINE FEATHERS RAISE RUMPUS New York, Nov. 1--(CP).--Amer- ican women have to take care what feathers they wear on their hats, if. they want to avoid trouble, The plumage on fall headgear, the American bald eagle and the Audubon Society, protector of bird life, are all mixed up in the scrap. This is how it started: One evening in the fall of "39 a pretty, blue-eyed New Yorker open- ed the box containing her smart new hat, speared with a beautiful long feather--dark and mottled at the tip, white at the base. She put it on carefully and showed it to her husband, expecting applause, That wasn't what she got. Her husband, Richard H. Pough, member of the Audubon Society, staff, took one horrified look and said "That looks like an eagle fea- ther, Please take it off." What he was thinking of was not the way his wife's hat looked, but of the pitched battle the Audu- bon Society had waged at the turn game birds, state laws protecting wild birds. Battle Renewed The battle died down after that because such fancy plumage vir- tually disappeared from women's hats. Now Mrs. Pough's feather has started it all over again. The society has started a cam- paign urging women to ask their milliners for assurance the fea- thers they buy are within the law. These are the barnyard feathers-- coque, turkey, pigeon, guinea hen, ostrich and the like. Protected birds, besides the eagle, include condors, birds of paradise, snowy and barn owls, crested screamers, great bustards, storks, certain pheasants and herons (which yield egrets). Cooke, Mrs. John Thompson, Mrs. A. J. Crowe, Mrs. Collins and Mrs. Harvey Hagerman assisted. Miss June Luke and Miss Mamiv Kellow played the piano selection during the afternoon and Dianne Collins sang. * 4% » SKI CLUB TO HOLD DANCE The Oshawa Ski Club will open its social season next Friday evening, November 8, with an informal dance at the Masonic Temple, and a movin night, which will include colored movies taken at the club, at St. George's Parish Hall, December 5. Floodlights have been installed at the club property at Raglan which will be a boon to night skiing this winter. Water in gasoline or fuel oil tanks can be detected with a new stick coated with a pink paste that turns white in water.

Oh such lovely costumes that the judges, Mrs. A. Felt and Mrs. Hiscock had a difficult time to decide.' Anyway, the French Foreign Legion worn by P. Soanes, and the Spanish Lady, D. Henry. The youngest girl in the company was won by Ellen-Kay Johnson. The two-mile walk was passed by M. Blow, B. Farrow, D. Hammon, J. Shreve and B. McGill. At the party, Coco Cola and candy were passed. After a sing song we were dismissed. 5TH GUIDES The Robin patrol took top hon- ors last meeting for inspection. Mrs. Stacey couldn't find one thing wrong with then. so she gave an-. other star for their chart. "Fifth" was glad to welcome our district commissioner, who dropped in to say hello to her old pals, a few of them couldn't resist show- ing off their "mommy" dolls which they have just completed for the toymakers' badge. After a short period in corners, Yvonne Broad led the girls in a Tenderfoot game and the Wren patrol captured a point. Morse Code taken by Miss Jack- son and toymakers' and districy map by Mrs. Stacey and Miss Ron- son followed the games, Edna Cramb and Helen Phelps passed first ald, and Mae Dalby and Edna Cramb class badges. Noticed the doughnut cup sit- ting on the Guides' desk and don't think they aren't proud of the Guides who worked so hard to keep it for another year! Next time we see the cup it will have another shield on declaring Fifth as the 1940 winners which makes three years in a row -- congratulations Guides from Captain and her Lieu- tenant. In a week or so Fifth will have the honor of enrolling Audrey Briggs, a war guest at the home of her cousin, Norma Price who will make her Guide promise at the same time. Audrey comes from London, England. II'TH GUIDES Instead of the usual Company meeting on Wednesday night Elev- | enth Oshawa had their first Hallo- we'en Party.

They Want No Plum Pudding Darwin, Australia, Nov. 1--(CP) --Soldiers at Darwin are receiving | in a tropical climate, Consignments . to them include | woollen scarves, balaclava helmets, | and plum puddings. "Such gifts cannot be used by soldiers who, when working in humid temperatures, wear nothing more than shorts and shoes," the authorities point out. Their officers consider that apart | from presents of cigarettes and to- | bacco, cases of fresh - fruit would serve a far more useful purpose, impersonated by Buffy Hart, was voted the most original. During the evening the Rev. D. M. Rose and Mrs. Rose called in and were almost frightened away when greeted by "Frightful Mc- Gurk." Miss Worrall had charge of the entertainment while Miss Poil and | Miss Wilcox attended to the "eats". | Hot Dogs disappeared like magic |and judging by the shrieks and | laughter, a good time was enjoyed | by everyone. WHITBY GUIDES | On Wednesday last an enjoyable | avening was held. Mrs. Hobbs, the | Divisional Commissioner, paid us | an unexpected visit. Mrs. Holliday our District Commissioner, Mrs, Stewart, the Brown Owl, and Mrs Fothergill also attended our meet- ing. The girls listened intently as Mrs. important this time. The Guides, we are sure, were greatly cheered by Mrs. Hobbs' | talk and will go about their war | work with even more enthusiasm | than before. We started practising the song | which the Guides are 'singing to | contribute to the War Effort Con- | cert on November 12th under Mrs Spratt's direction. | Come on girls and bring any new members for there is plenty of work | for use to do In the real "Guide Spirit." ORCHIDS OPEN "FALL SEASON/ With the opening of our fall and winter season, orchids come to the | fore and there is a wide variety of flowers to choose from. Blue, brown, green and the new off white shades are all obliging backgrounds for orchids for day- time. Black, turquoise, white grey (which is such a smart evening color), champagne and all the pas- tels will find orchids that harmon- ize or accent their slim loveliness. Again, the beautiful chartreuse, and luminous mauve Brasso is available, the bride's special orchid, delicate | with an' exquisitely fringed lip-- fragile as the wedding veil yet sturdy and capable of a long life and a useful one (as flower lives 80). For Dark Dresses Athena--dark and dramatic, a deep purple large petaled flower with an exceptionally highly celor- ed lip. Wonderful with dark dresses and thrilling when worn on a white evening gown or ermine wrap, There is a very dark hybrid call- ed Alice D. Johnson, which is al- most a black purple--and a very distinguished flower, Mauve Amabills and Mauve Car- mencita are excellent varieties and again our old friend Maggie Ra- phael is available in a wide range of colors from white petals, dark se- pals and lip to an all dark flower, Then we have Peetersil which is as great a flower for its season as Canhamiana (the white and 'pur- ple orchid) is for spring. Peetersii --{s a large dark beautiful flower with a darker lip spotted in yellow. It is most exotic in appearance and women who know their orchids, don't buy just an orchid; they know them by their first names and the seasons when they are available, | . Unusual Fragrance i Fabia is large and dark with beautifully colored lip, and its fra- grance is most unusual. Yes, certain varieties have fra- grance as marked as valley lillies lor a finely scented rose. White orchids are available. They from southern comforts organiza- | are all hybrids and have a touch of [psp » competition although more tions many gifts which are useless | yellow in the lip that accentuates | | the whiteness of the petals. Cypripediums, our little green and bronze "tweed orchids" are available this month, Brown Per- sian coats and all the brown tweeds |and furs please note--also for eve- ning with off white, Clusters for Brides And for brides who want spray orchids, Denbroblum Phalaenopsis is available. The flowers of white or delicate pink mauve are 1!; in- ches in diameter, and there are from five to eight flowers on a spray. The wiry stem is graceful in its curve and the flowers seem to flutter and quiver with each movement of the stem. The Junior League bride with the wool trous- seau carried Denbrobium. Oncidium -- The small yellow spray orchids called "Butterfly Orchid" run from ten to fifty flow- ers on a spray, They are tiny and really look like gay little butterflies poised for flight. These sprays are very decorative and are used in drawing-rooms as well as for an exotic table decora- tion, They are equally at home in classic or modern atmosphere. Worn in the hair for evening or outlining the corsage of a gown they are smart, unusual, and very decorative, also. Mauve orchids--the pink, laven- | der lilac group are wonderful this | season with the purple family of colons that has gone into daytime and evening clothes, No flower is a runner up for the orchid and its popularity increases 'each season, LADDIE MISSED HIS AIRPLANE Manchester, Nov, 1--(CP).--Dur- ing the appeal for aluminum pots and pans, a five-year-old proudly carried various articles to school, having been told that they were to make airplanes, Some days later he approached his mother. "Mam," he said, "you know I took pans to school to make airplanes." "Yes, you did," replied his mother. "Well," said Billy, "I haven't had my airplane yet." U.S. HAY CROP The 1940 hay crop in the United States is estimated to reach 93 million tons, uomvpared with 841% million tons in 1939, and with the ten-year average (1929-38) of 179 million tons. The 1940 crop has been exceeded only three times in the past, in 1916, 1922, and 1927. | AIDS FOR MOTHER IF SHE WERE M.P.| Melbourne, Nov. 1 -- (CP). -- It | took a woman to win the "If I Were than 1,000 Australians, including many men, entered their letters on | the subject. War problems in Australia are apparently very similar to those of | Canada. Mrs. E. A. Patterson. of | Seaford won the two guinea prize | | and this is what she would set out to accomplish if she were a mem- | ber of parliament: "Thorough organization of sav- ing and waste collection and con- | servation of such commodities as | gas and electricity.

"Organize trained home assist- | ance for all mothers of more than |two children under school age. | Housing plans on a nation-wide | scale to prevent post-war scarcity | and slump, constructive work ab- | | sorbing soldiers as they return, | Legislate to make electricity a rat-! | ed commodity." Special prizes of half a guinea | each were awarded to two men con- | testants, THEY SEE WORLD IN DINING ROOM San Francisco, Nov. 1 -- (CP), -- "Wait table and see the world" might be the motto of many a | young woman who does a great | deal of travelling without a great deal of money, Side by side with the well-to-do who move to mountain or seashore |in the summer and to Florida or | Southern California in the winter, there moves another stream of traffic. It consists of the waitresses in the resort hotel trade. Vivian Berg likes the circuit so well that she gave up a school- teaching career for it. With her friend Ruth Willis, she puts in the season at the swell hotels just as she wishes. And she belleves she has just as good a time as the pay- ing guests. Jane Walker told how they spend every afternoon on the beach, and if they had to go back to the hotel for dinner--well, didn't everybody else also? A resort hotel waitress, she reports, seldom is detained af- ter nine o'clock and is able to go out and have a good time like any- body else. Some of the national parks em- ploy college girls as waitresses for the summer vacations and encour- | bands, as a general rule, need some | muffins, | CLAIMED NURSE Je Parent Problem $9 SARRY C.

She must have good mental health as well as good physical health. Having such health, she will possess sym- pathy, understanding, calmness, poise,self-control. She won't be ir- ritable, excitable, jittery. She will have a quiet, cultivated manner, and a gentle voice. Teaching all day is a trying or- deal. It's no job for the physically and mentally unfit, Unfortunately some of these unfit persons are teachers.

Let me enw treat the teacher to get ample sleep, rest and recreation. Don'§ wear yourself out seeking pieas sures at night nor deny yourself sufficient fun, Avoid excessive reading of test papers. In emere gencies, of course, you will share domestic duties and help nurse the sick. But don't do this continually while teaching. Rest After School When you feel very weary after school it might relax you to lie down on the floor or bed. A brief walk might do as well. Perhaps your health would be better if you walked to school instead of riding, Learn to play more social games, Some teachers find valuable' oute lets in clubs and church groups, or in sharing living quarters with business young women. The church and Sunday School are fortunate to have the services of the teachey and she may widen her usefulness to the community through such service. Yet many a teacher will wear herself out doing good. Wider Interests Some teachers have personal problems they should 'talk ovey with the psychologist or psychias trist. A few should strive to cultiw vate wider intgrests, Fortunately there are developing psychiatrists whose treatment is in this direce tion rather than in magnifying the patient's introspection and aboug herself. Many a teacher who othere wise would have excessive worries finds rich and wholesome outlets in studying the problems of her chile dren in discovering ways to help the parents change the personality and behavior of these children, We parents can help promote the mental health of the teacher by showing her more appreciation, by helping her celebrate her own suce cesses and by finding ways for hes to have better social contacts.
