Jan. 21--(CP)--A unique hobby which began 16 years ago with the finding of an old flintlock, has made the name of Joseph Gibeault known to am- munition manufadturérs the world over, Joe Gibeault, British Columbia Provincial Police constable, lays claim to one of the largest collec- tions of small calibre shells in Canada. The 2,700 #hell8 in his collection range from ancient ri. fle balls to experimental shells not yet on the market. Each shell is catalogued and photographed to scale, and is re. corded in one of the 'five large books in which the historical data of the individual shell is kept. Smallést shell in the colléction is hardly bigger than a pin head, made to fire from & pistol about the size of a watch fob, Largest is for a 60-calibre navy revolver which Gibeault claimed is the world's largest. In shotgun shells, he has them from a four-guage measuring about an inch in length to the six millimetre size. One "history maker" is paper cov- ered and identical to the shell credited with touching off the In- dian Mutiny, Danger of fire does not worry the constable. His advite is "just duck."

Falk Johnson, Northwestern Uni- versity English instructor, believes sich talk will slide into the limbo of unutteted things in the years ahead. A nimshi on the tikiteet--as any New Englander schooled in rare Yankee expressions knows--means a girl on the sofa. Johnson had done research on re- glonalisths in the American lan- guage. He believes that such influen- ces as masg entertainment, educa- tion, reading and travel ultimately may cause many regional exyress- fohs to disappear, Soring Millinery Viewed by Princess New York Times Special to The Globe and Mail. Copyright London, Jan. 20.--Princess Eliza- beth attended her first public fash- fon show at the Dorchester Hotel here today. She saw the new model hats designed for spring wear by the Associated Millinery Designers of London. Her own hat was up- to-moment halp in hyacinth blue silk, The open crown had a heavy swathing of platted silk ending in a bunched bow at the nape of the neck. "Darling, you are 4,000 times as sweet as sugar," the enraptured young eclentist informed his best girl. "To be precise," he added, for he was a meticulous fellow, "you are as sweet as the new petroleum derivative I-n-propoxy-2-amino-4- nitrotunzene."

Gradually there has been a move toward democracy in fashion and Canadian women are getting the benefit of it. Yestérday the Durable Associated Companies which do suits, coats, rainwear, itmbrellas, belts, and bags held in Toronto a press showing of their spring line to indicate that good, well-cut clothes which have style can be within reach of the average well-p'arned budget, Can- adians who buy Canadian clothes are s:ared the extra import costs whith put United States clothes be- yeng the reach of many. The greater part of this line was des'gned before Canadian material restrictions came off, but it does contain mcst of the new high fesh- ion features. Skirts are about tw> inches longer and shoulders arz narrower than last season. Novel Treatments Most of the suits showed decided- ly novel treatment on the jackets. Many were fitted at the waist w ta a peplum Icnger in the back which might be knife-pleated or flared. Most of the suit jackets wer: rounded with good detail work in the cutting of unusual pocket flaps, intaresting button arrahgements (nearly all buttons were an antiques silver type) and a number of ths dressier suits had paillette or braid trim on their push-up sleeves. In- cidentally these sleeves can be worn either pushed up or at the wrist. The suit collection featured a num- ber of shiriwaizt cuffs. The shortie is a good coat fo: Toronto climate, and this firm showed it dressy enough for sSum- mer formal wear or practical enough for office wear, One of the most attractive was a white three- quarter lergth shortle made of white kyncck from Scotland. Generally these coats and suits retail from $30 to $50. Raincoat Division In the raincoat division there were poplins ahd rayons in ga; shades designed to be cheerful on a dull day. Some had capes or cape- lets at the shoulders for further protecticn. One popular cotton plaid lined retails at $12.95, The leather goods were co-ordl- ated and as accessories should give a lift to the most sombre of cos- tumes. One attractive fireman's red plastic belt with gold nailheads was matched up with an over-the- shoulder bag in the same color and an umbrella which went in a red plastic case. Incidentally, if you start out with the umbrella and are overtaken by rain, the case will fold up and go into your purse. Pig-skin bags with several com- partments, matched up. with belts and umbrella cases of the same ma- terial are neutra] enough in shade to be worn with any costume. S.A.

Althouse, chief direc. tor of educatioft in On'ario, ad- dressed the University Women's Club luncheon in Toronto Satur- day on the tople, "Straws in the Wind," outlining trends in edu- cation observed during his visit last summet to the British Isles, Denmark and Sweden. Those countries, he said, in the storm centre of the war, realized the need for a proper system of public education to improve human re- lationships, In the British Isles there is a secondary school course for all in the group from 12 to 15 yedrs, with a wide variety of academic and practical subjects suited to the abilities of every type of stu- dent. The completion of the course will coincide with school- leaving age. Students of higher ability will be chosen by seléctive tests, and given longer coutses. Community Centre The school, said the speaker, should befome the uatost conven- ient and effective unit in the com- munity centre, In the village ¢col- leges of Cambridgeshire, the town council librarians, experienced farmers and parent groups of all kinds meet in the school, The in- terior of the school should be at- tractive, so that parents ehjoy go- ng, e noticed an obvious attempt to inculcate grace and beauty in the lives and thinking of the chil- dren by beautiful public build- ings, giving them ideas of loyalty, responsibility and servicé to the group, rather than personal ag- grandizement, The obvious earn- estness of students in Europe was motivated, he added, by the knowledge of the importance of education in postwar problems.
