"My ministers recognize that the housewives of the nation, have had to bear a specially heavy burden owing to the shortages of houses, of foodstuffs and other consumer ,"* it said. "It will be their constant en- deavor to alleviate the hardships and Bun venicnces Sausod by this legacy from the years of war." During 1046 this legacy was light- ened only slightly. There are hints of more sugar and jam next spring, but meantime basic rations are no better, on the whole, than when the war was on, The few increases have been countered by cuts in other commodities and the bring- extra foods. There is more fruit, and more fish--important in a country where each person gets only ls 4d, (37 cents) worth of meat each week.

Despite this extra womanpower, the number of women in industry dropped by about 1,000,- 000, mostly because married women left industry, These were other developments of affecting women and children dur- ing 1946: Equal pay--A Royal Commission headed by Lord Justice Asquith ended two years' work divided on the subject. Five commissioners found "substantial difficulties" in the way of early application of the equal pay policy between men and women, but three women members filed a memorandum of dissent, Family allowances--Payment of 8s ($1) a week for each child sfier first was started by the treas- ury in August and more than 2,000,« 000 families now are receiving bene- Pensions--Old-age and widows' Jenions were increased in October, step in application of new so- clal legislation under which women. later will recelve higher mothers' pensions and new maternity grants, Child welfare--A report phanages, presented to parliament, focussed attention on the need for better treatment of children, Even before that report, child welfare clinics, almost non-existent before the war, were started all over Eng- land to give mothers and expectant mothers free advice.

Mrs, Wilson, president, expressed the thanks of the Auxiliary to all who had contributed to the ehjoy- ment of the banquet, The officers illiam | and executive were responsible for After a minute's silence was ob- served in memory of five members | who died during the past year, Mrs, Wilson welcomed the guests and explained the significance of the Legion Standard, Mrs. Creighton, who is honorary president, thanked the Auxiliary for the honor conferred upon her and congratulated it upon the numerous projects that had been carried out during 1946, Thé large number of young women in the auxiliary with brothers or husbands who have served in the last war was note- worthy, she declared. Satisfactory Reports Mrs, Charles Lamb reported as secretary that 44 new members had been initiated during the past year. The present membership of the | lif Auxiliary stands at 237.

Legion Standard Symbolic Because the symbolic meaning of the Legion Standard, read by Mrs, Wilson, is so informative and be- cause there must be many members of the Legion and the Auxiliary who do not realize the meaning of the Standard they see at every meeting, the following is reprinted as written by Rev. N, E. W, Bradyll- Johnson, rector of Lee and Rural Dean of Lewisham, England, in the British Legionary: ' "The Legion Standard is symbolic. "Its background is blue, the color which represents spiritual things, such as justice, truth, goodness, loyalty and unselfishness, things which are the foundation of Legion e "The golden fringe of many strands represents the members, each adding to the effectiveness of |, the whole if they give their best service, symboli:d by the gold. "The Union Jack is prominent but only a part, just as the British Empire is prominent but a part of the world, best fulfilled in its pur- pose by seeking to share in the common good of all peoples. "It is right that the name of the branch appears on the Legion Standard, for it reminds all of us that our first duty is in our own surroundings, where we have ample opportunity of serving our fellow- men." Toronto Hasn't Snow It's Really Water Queen City weighs 40 to 66 pounds per cubic foot--hell need it! The reason is that water is only 62 pounds to the cubic foot, there fore his snow is almost water, The whole discussion regarding snow came up when Mayor Saun- ders answered a quip by Mayor Stanley Lewis of Ottawa regarding snow removal, and made the claim that the reason removal was more difficult in his city was that the snow that fell there was wetter and heavier, Part of his claim, insofar as Mon- treal is concerned, is justified by a check of the prevailing tempera- tures in the two cities during the and | Winter months. They are slightly higher in Toronto, However, Montrealers, hardy souls that they are, while conceding the above, point to the fact that an average year's total fall of smow in Toronto totals 66 inches, while this city total is 110.6 inches, only 136 inches less than twice the amount in Mayor Saunders' bailiwick. And Montreal snow weighs 35 lbs to the cuble foot. You figure it out from there, Death Takes Eva Tanguay Hollywood--Funeral services for Eva Tanguay, 68, vaudeville head- liner who died last Saturday in her home, will be held today at & Holly- wood mortuary, Entombment will be in Holywood cemetery. Invalid Since 1939 Miss Tanguay succumbed to a cerebral hemorrhage. She had been an invalid since 1939, and although at the crest of her popularity she made $3,500 a week, she spent her declining years in poverty. Eva Tanguay---the "I Don't Care" girl--who captivated American theatre audiences tor three decades with her dash and daring, had been at the point of death several times since her involuntary retirement in the late '20's, After a major operation in 1932, she was pronounced out of danger from the combined ravages of a heart ailment, Bright's disease, and rheumatism. Still dogged by dis- ease, she underwent operations in 1033 and 1934 in Chicago for biind- ness from cataracts of both eyes. 8he was planning a comeback, when arthritis crippled her, Born in Canada Miss Tanguay was born in Mar- bleton, Canada, in August, 1878, but spent her early life in Holyoke, Mass, where she was educated, While still in her teens she tour- ed the country as Little Lord Fauntleroy, and the dawn of a new century found her scoring her first hit in "The Sambo Girl" at a Pittsburgh play-house, She reached star stature in 1004 when she introduced the song "1 Don't Care" to Broadway audiences who blocked to see her in a play called "The Chaperones." Eva Tane guay became the "I Don't Care" girl, and she kept the song alive more than two decades. When she went blind, a friend of palmier days, Sophie Tucker, paid for the operation which restored her sight. Miss Tanguay mapped plans for a comeback to roise enough money, she said, to endow a children's hespital for the blind, but je attack of arthritis thwarted er. Her most constant companions in her falling years were Charlotte Whitney, a former chorus girl who had been attending her as her housekeeper, Mae West and Irene Castle McLaughlin, the former dancer, The comedienne was twice mar- ried. Her first husband, John W. Ford, died. Her second marriage, to Hungarian Chandos Ksiazkie- wics was annulled in 1927. : An auctioneer in Hillsdale, Mich., sold his own topooat by mistake, Linen Hankies Form Color-Gay Pageant The mid-winter fashion picture is painted in a rainbow of colors . . . toreador reds, emerald greens, many-hued plaids.

Suggest Rodents May Inherit the Earth Princeton, N, J.,.--Not man but rats, mice or some other humble and inconspicuous group of anim- als may be the ones to evolve into the higher forms that will domin- ate the earth in the inexorable process of evolution, Prof. Alfred S. Romer, noted Harvard paleon- tologist, declared at the close of the Princeton Bicentennial Con- ference on genetics, paleontology and evolution, "In considering future evolu- tion," Professor Romer said, "we humans rather conceitedly as- sume that we are the forms from which further progress will go on. But that is far from certain. When we look over the earlier history of the world, we find that almost never do the successful and flourishing types of one per fod give rise to the dominant forms of the next. They become extinct and some previously ob- scure type takes their place, Succeeded By Rats? "What are our prospects? Will we be succeeded by some group now humble and inconspicuous? What about the rats and mice? They are a tough and hardy group, which can survive in al- most any environment; "Will the mice inherit the earth when we have passed away? Or is man's brain enough of an evolutionary novelty to enable him to upset the ancient evolu- tionary laws and establish a new patiern of progress?" Some scientists, like Robert Broom and Julian Huxley, Profes. sor Romer said, feel that evolu- tionary progress is over; that all animals are now so specialized that any further major advance is impossible. However, he added, he doubted that this view was correct, "If we were dinosaurs, back in the days of their greatness," he sald, "we would have probably had similar thoughts (if we'd had brains to think them). The dino- saurs didn't go further and be- came extinct;, but evolution was far from over." Professor Romer"s talk was part of a program broadcast over CBS under the auspices of Science Service. Hope for Man's Survival Offered Prof Theodosius Dobzhansky of Columbia University held out hope for man's survival through his ability to adjust himself in a changing environment, "It must always be remember- ed," he sald, "that heredity de- termines merely the response of the organism to the environment. Skin color ig inherited, yet some people have pale skins after spen- ding long winters indoors, and heavily pigmented skins after pro- longed exposures to the sun. Bod- ily traits are products of interac- tion of heredity and environment, Some hereditary elements e, g., blood group genes, produce the same trait in all environments, while other genes, such as genes for skin pigmentation, give r-uch leeway to environmental Influ- ences. "Now, the degree of plasticity of a trait is determined by the ac- tion of natural selection in the process of evolution, By and large, the traits which are important for survival in the environment in which the species normally lives will be largely fixed by heredity. But when a species lives in a changeable environment, plastiel- ty of some traits becomes advan- tageous, "The social environment in which human evolution has been taking place for millennia is no- toriously changeable, even in terms of an individual's lifetime. What is the consequence of this? Animal species become adapted to their environments by changing their bodies; human adaptation consists in changing one's behav- | nas A This fine medicine is very effective to and weak, * of "certain d ays female functional monthly dis- bances. Worth trying! . ag ruvmugws 5X for, Animals acquire new organs, humang invent new ideas. "In speculating on what is like. ly to happen to mankind, it is a fair guess that one of the princi- pal trends in human evolution is development of plasticity of be- havior. Social and cultural hered- ities become more important than biological heredity in determining human behavior, "This does not mean that bio- logical heredity has no influence on behavior. But human heredity does permit an extraordinary plasticity of behavior in response to environmental agents."
