Wil- SEE TIME COMING FOR RECOGNITION OF WOMEN'S UNITS Ottawa, Dec. 3 (CP)--Women who are organizing themselves into vol- untary service corps in Canada have a strong supporter in Howard C. Green, Conservative M.P. for Vane couver South. Canada, he told the Canadian Press in an interview, is going to need every one of her trained wo- men before the end of the war and the fact women have organized vol- untary service corps without official encouragement is evidence of their vision. That these women's units will be officially recognized in time appears a foregone conclusion to Mr. Green, "Public opinion will force it," he said. "And if women wait until they are called upon it will only mean another period of waiting until they are trained." Mr. Green said he personally had no prejudice against women in uni. form, adding, "as a matter of fact I think they look smart if it is a question of appearance--and to do their job the uniform is practical." The Vancouver member was of the opinion that women had showed considerable gumption in going ahead with their organizing when they did so in the face of ridicule from various quarters. "Men would not have been able to stand the gaff," he said: "I don't believe men could have 'taken it' as the women have." Vancouver's Corps Mr. Green praised the intelligent leadership of the women's corps in Vancouver. It was one of the first | Canadian women's emergency org- | anizations in the present war. | There are four companies in the Vancouver corps of 1200 members. Cl -- er mr | One company is clerical, its mem- | | bers being trained to handle all | men from such tasks.

These wo- men have studied motor-mechanics, are expert drivers and are capable of repairing motor vehicles.

SHOW BOYS HOW TO FIX MOTORS Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 3 (CP)--Lug wrenches and pliers are replacing powder puffs as the American silk stocking army goes on the march. Throughout the United States young women, eager to aid in na- tional defence, are joining the Na- tional Service League Motor Corps, a volunteer organization that would drive ambulances and act as a me- chanics in case of war or a dire emergency. The Tacoma unit was the first to get actual experience. While sold- iers, shocked at seeing young, at- tractive women iff overseas caps in their camp, watched bug-eyed, corps member worked on army ambu- lances at Camp Murray where the National Guard's 41st Division is having a year's training.

"Tin hats will no doubt soon achieve priority, but it is noticeable | among the elect whe are entitled to | battle dress that the pleasure of | this form of headgear palls easily. "Hats fall into two categories--the strictly utilitarian and those in which fashion predominates. The fashion hat is the sequel of fashion hair, which at the moment is high in front and terminates in a knob or 'catogan' at the back." Midway between pure fashion and pure utility comes the rather man- nish felt, this observer writes. "This may turn down or turn up anywhere, but points to remember are that the crown should err on the spiky side and avold anything in ' the shape of a melon. These man- nish felts are worn with all sorts of coats, and they are appearing in many colors, of which the various plums are perhaps the most popular, People like wearing a black dress and then a plum-colored coat and hat." 5 Curls 'and Topknots Talking of utilitarian hats the writer discusses the turban "ready made of fashioned cleverly out of the scarf." ; "Turbans of any kind look best with a topknot of hair. A curl or two on the forehead makes a focus for the knot of the scarf which is just behind it. The ears should be slightly covered and the scarf pulled up with the edge round the head the tighter of the two. "Turbans are a good antidote to curls. They not only keep this phenomen--so strange in time of war--in thorough order but they al- low it gradually to be transformed into something more shapely and less destructible. ST.

"They want to be prepared before the call comes," Mrs, Walcot said here in an interview. "There's going to be a labor shortage which may bring this call sooner than we ex- pect." In Ottawa to interview govern- ment officials, Mrs. Walcot said she had 175 girls in Toronto organized to form the nucleus of a land army. "The women are eager and there's absolutely no prejudice among far- mers against female farmhands," sald the Toronto woman, an in- structress in the Women's Land Army 'in England during the First Great War. One official nad told her that wo- men could only be used in a very limited capacity. Bristling but smart in her khaki Canadian Women's Service Force uniform, Mrs. Walcot | asked how. The official said "Do you think any of your girls would | be prepared to clean out a stable | and haul manure?"

They were nearly all city-bred but are delighted to work and live in the country. For work the girls wore dark blue overalls with shoulder straps, white | shirts, blue 'kerchiefs on their heads and red C.W.S.F. armbands. | "The work is given dignity and | the girls feel in addition to earning | a living they are doing a national | service," said Mrs. Walcot. | EVE'S TWO FACES HER MONEY-MAKER | ---- loaned Hollywood, Dec. 3 (CP)--'Two- | faced" might be fighting words to some, but they're sweet music to Eve Arden of the movies, She's proud of her two faces--so proud she almost has developed two voices to go with them. Locking at the left side you see a small eye, outstanding cheek bone, drawn cheek. She's the vixen type. The other angle is strictly ingenue. The eyebrow turns up more, her cheek is 'full, her right eye smiles brightly. "I can look my mood without changing my expression," she says. "All I do is turn my head. Saves a lot of bother." P. M. A. GROUP MEETING The Pleasant Monday Afternoon Group met in the hall of the Salva- tion Army on Monday, with the president in' charge. Mrs. Collins read the Twenty-Third psalm, and a hymn was sung, "Peace Perfect Peace," in memory of one of the | members, Mrs, W, Thompson, who | passed away on Sunday. Mrs. Thompson was a very devout mem- | ber of the group, and well liked by | all. Sympathy was extended to Mrs. W. H. Barnes, her daughter, who is also a member of the P. M. A. group, and also to her husband and other members of the family in their great sorrow, A reading was then given by Mrs. W. Collins. On Monday next the | election of officers will be held | when it is hoped that members will | make an extra effort to be present. The meeting closed with the ben- | ediction. Tea was then served by mostly from the unem- | ! the ladies. MRS. G. CONANT ADDRESSES MARY STREET H. AND S. ASS"N A very interesting evening was enjoyed by the members of the Mary Street Home and School As- sociation last night, when the club celebrated their twentieth birthday. A varied program was presented, including a talk by Mrs. Gordon Conant, who spoice on "Citizenship," its meaning and the great need of having a high quality during our present crisis. Mrs. Conant addres- sed the Home and School Associa- tion as "fighters in the front line of the battle for better citizens -- as teachers and parents enjoy a very great power in this respect, which is balanced by a heavy res- ponsibility". She said that three things can be done to make a dir- ect contribution to imprevement of our future citizens. Firstly, par- ents can instil in their children an understanding of the duties and re- sponstbilities of citizenship. Quoting from Edwin Markham, the brilliant philosopher, Mrs. Conant said: "We have committed the golden rule to memory: let us new commit it to life." Secondly, parents can assist in the great task by co-operating with teachers in the schools, who share with parents the responsibil- ity for the upbringing of the child- ren. Thirdly, members of the Home and School Association can make a contribution to the improvement of our citizenship by being good citi- zens themselves. Already, beneficial effects of activity by this associa- | tion have been apparent in the se- | lection of women to Boards of Edu- | cation. Mrs. Conant said that she [ sincerely believed that Mrs. B. C. Colpus should have a companion woman member on the very import- ant school board. Another contri- | bution that can be made by the | association is to spread to all men | and women in the community, the | | knowledge of the privileges of good citizens, which carries with it know- ledge of duties and responsibilities as well. People of foreign birth who are now Canadians should be help- | ed to be as good citizens as Cana- {dian or British born men and wo- men. This can only be done by ex- tending a friendly and helping hand to them. verted faith of Fascism with a faith in Democracy which is just as solid, just as consistent, just as deter- | mined, just as positive. Unless our | democracy can command a positive | system of beliefs, hopes and loyal- | ties, it is unlikely that we can re- sist Fascism by mere weight of armament, and finally," she said, | "each member . of the community must possess a living faith in the | virtue and value of Democracy. | Each man and woman in the com- munity must have knowledge of | the duties and responsibilities of citizenship in a democratic state." y The money for the teacher of a Senior Grade who had the most | parents present was awarded to | Mr. H. Brown. Miss Jean Hoover, as teacher for a Junior Grade, won that prize for parents' attendance. TODAY'S MENU By BETSY NEWMAN A CERTAIN daughter likes to tell coming home tired and hungry one day, she found her mother making cookies. The table was set but no | warm food in sight. "Oh, dear," | she sighed to herself, "have I got to wait until the cookies are done before I eat?"

The first batch of cookies were baked while the family enjoyed the hot meal.
