PACE SIX a Ea THE DAILY TIMES.-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1947 Speaker Urges W.A. Members - To Assume Responsibilities "The best contribution Crurch people can make is to enter for Christ into every sphere of life," de- clared Mrs, J. L. Halpenny, of To- ronto, vice-president of the Domin- jon Woman's Association Council, in the main address at the first ane nual meeting of the' Oshawa Pres- bytery Woman's Association yester- day in Albert Street United Church, Oshawa. The speaker urged the 64 registered delegates and the other W. A. members present at the after~ neon session to assume their respon- sibility although the reward is only more responsibility. Introduced by the president, Mrs. Clayton Lee, Mrs. Halpenny based her talk on "Esther, the Patriot," fhe theme for March in the W. A. devotional folder. The alternative to be faced today is education or extermination, she pointed out. One-half of the 3,000,000 women in Canada are members of women's organizations. If these women were challenged with a dynamic program instead of being offered an after- noon of entertainment, much she said, might be accomplished, Not Easy to Follow Courage, devotion, stick-to-it-ive- ness and faith are four qualities needed. It takes some capabilities to be followers, she added. "Don't cri- ticize anyone whose office and res- ponsibility you aré unwilling to take." Mrs. Halpenny defended the use of the singular noun, woman's, in the two names, Woman's Associa- tion and Woman's Missionary So- ciety. The singular form was chosen intentionally in order to stress indi- vidual responsibility, she revealed. The speaker pleaded for Christian witness in the hotne and pointed out its good effect upon the children. The W. A. should explore avenues of service to young people's groups and Vacation Bible Schools and also to the people of Europe through the Save the Children Fund and Parcels for British families. The W. A, be- longs to a world-wide as well as to a local fellowship, she said. At the morning session especially for delegates, registration was in the charge of Mrs. George Sanders and Mrs. W. Frank Baker. The worship service was conducted by Mrs, Rob- ert Fursey, assisted by Mrs. Frank James. Mrs. Fursey took as her topic, "The Waste of Sin," as sug- gested by the Parable of the Prodi- gal Son. Officer's Report Mrs. W. Frank Baker presented the corresponding secretary's report, and noted that, while she had sent out 30 copies of the constitution of the W. A. to such groups she would gladly send copies to all and urged them to apply. Mrs. George Sand- ers, recording secretary, gave the re- port of the meeting of organization of the Presbytery W.

Donovan Jones brought the greetings of his church to the afternoon session and noted the ap- propriateness of the first annual meeting of the Presbytery W. A. be- ing held in the church which had done much toward organizing the W. A's of the Oshawa Presbytery into one organization. Mrs. Keith Gahan sang a solo, "Was It Christ?".

Milk and fruit juice are ready in.the refrigerator, He pours himself a generous bowl of ready- to-eat cereal--there is an assort- ment from which to choose. Then on to the table where the toaster and bread are ready for action. Then Johnnie finishes his breakfast, he totes the dishes back to the sink on the tray. Simple, isn't 1t?

Make-Up Tips By a | Specialist "Go easy on the rouge, you who have little natural coloring," is the advice of a New York make-up spe- cialist, who says she has trouble getting this point over to women. The tendency, she says, is to shame nature for her deficiencies by daubing on the color. The re- result, according to our specialist, is to make the nicest woman look like a Jezebel, This expert's method of shaming nature for her omisions of color is to step up pinkness all over the face. For that, she relies upon a tinted make-up. In addition to this make-up a good bit of cheek rouge can be used, but on many faces only a little is needed, this spe- cialist claims. i In any case, she preaches to cus- tomers the need of a tinted com- plexion base as a color shock abe sorber for cheek rouge and lipstick. Omit that background tint, she warns, and cheeks and lips stand out from the face like color flags.

What's new in fashions? Every- thing that has been devised during the last six years will have its place in Canada's show window--the Ca- nadian National Exhibition, "It wouldn't be a Fair unless the girls competed for the best pumpkin pie, the finest pair of socks, the most artistic quilt," said Kate Aitken, Di- rector of Women's Activities for the Canadian National Exhibition, as she talked about arrangements al- ready on wheels for a whole world of women's activities at the Ex. this year, Hundreds of food contests and sewing competitions are open to those who will vie with others in the sport of competition. How to have good food at low cost for all sizes of families will attract home- makers who admit struggling with their weekly house-keeping budget because of higher food casts. Model grocery stores will be set up in the Women's wing as the background for a shopping school, Mrs. Aitkin pointed out. Budgets are being assembled for a low cost, moderate cost and fancy menues. These shopping budgets will be giv- en to Exhibition visitors along with menus, recipes and shopping lists for the week. These budgets will change for each week of the C.N.E. Expert food people will be on deck to answer questions and help home- makers with their food-budgeting problems. To represent the six most im- portant events in any woman's life, six table settings will be artistical- ly displayed in another section. ese will be set up in the manner of the Museum of Modern Art, com- plete with linen, food and flowers. They will represent the engagement party, wedding party, the bride's first dinner, the Christening, after- theatre party and informal enter- taining, = Of course the shopping lists, recipes and menus corre- sponding to all the meals will be available. . Now that housing is so important in Canada's national life, the home exhibits will take on new promin- ence in the Women's C.N.E. dis- plays. The very latest houses and their furnishings will be on view. But as the new and the beautiful in housing and home furnishings are hard to come by, the greater part of the exhibits will be devoted to remodelled homes. Displays will show people how to make over their attics and how to transform base- ment rooms into attractive, liveable quarters, Open the cupboard, Hubbard! And let's pack in the goods . . , . That's what happened back in 1940 when a housing shortage gripped the country... Ever since, people have shouted for more cupboards as they doubled up with in-laws or strangers. Mrs. Aitkin explained that man- ual training classes in the Tech- nical Schools throughout Ontario are already conjuring up new ideas for cupboard space, devising clever ways of concealing cup- boards and experimenting with practical methods of incorporating all sorts of storage and display shelves to provide more comfort and tidiness in cramped housing. In fact, the home exhibits will bristle with ideas for the handy husband to try out. Students from the manual train- ing classes will be right there so that amateur carpenters may talk over their individual housing prob- lems. And it's surprising what a hit some brand new shelves will make with any woman. Featured too, will be a complete display of household furniture made from or- ange crates. Fashion shows impress women. This year there'll be three fashion shows going on in various parts of the Exhibition Grounds, six times each day. The shows will be short and of three types--a fur show, a high school number and a young matrons' show. Forty national women's organiza- tions will be represented at the C. NE. A complete wing has been turned over to them in order to show in miniature the building of the nation. Their theize will be "We Build Canada." For women interested in the stage, arrangements are being made to have young Drama groups pre- sent plays at The Little Theatre in the Coliseum. There'll be all sorts of handicrafts in the Women's sec- tion--weaving, pottery, metal work and the like, with active demonstra- tion in progress. Foreign exhibits of modern silver and glass handi- crafts from Czechoslovakia, Nor- way, Sweden and Denmark will ar- rive for the handicraft shows. Baptist YPU Hears Pastor from Lindsay Rev. R. D. Harmer of Lindsay, leader of the Devotional Life Com- mission of Ontario and Quebec, was the special speaker at the meeting of the First Baptist Young People's Union last Monday evening, Speak- ing on Youtlh Evangelistn, he took as his theme, "Christian Youth Ob- serves the Work of a Great Soul Winner." Mr. Frank Newell. president, open- ed the meeting with a business dis- cussion. Lively choruses, led by Mr, Jack Keenan, were sung. The Fol- lowship Commission took charge of the meeting, Miss Joyce Elliott read the Scripture and Miss Lorna Par- rott led in prayer. HUNGER TO LUXURY Carlyle, Sask.--(CP)--The eagle which attacked Dick Nahbexie and tore his coat on the Moose Moun- tain Indian Reserve apparently did so from hunger. The big bird, over- powered and put in an empty shack is being fed regularly mow on rab- bits trapped by Nahbexie. "It's a lot of nonsense!" protests a high school girl who read a boy's letter printed here recently saying girls are gold-diggers when they date, more interested in a car and plenty of movie money than in the boy himself. "What if the boys don't always have money?" she continues. "Most girls would rather have simple dates like walks than no dates at all. If he told the truth, he'd probably have to admit that boys don't like to ad- mit they're temporarily broke and ask 'a girl to go for a walk, But we wouldn't mind, "As for asking boys, before dating them, if they have a car--sometimes we do, but usually it's because we want to know - how to dress. For some dates, a girl will dress a little differently if she's going on the bus than if she's going in a car. But boys don't realize that. "Nothing makes a girl feel so ill as ease listening to a boy rave about TIPS FOR TEENS -- Girl Refutes Boy's Charge By ELINOR WILLIAMS the date he had last week with @ smooth number--a redhead, blonde, or whatever his present date isn't. You'd be surprised at the number of boys who spend hours telling how many gorgeous girls they know. "Girls hate it when boys talk loudly in public, push each other around and try te attract' atten- tion when they are with us. It's very embarrassing. "Most nice girls do not want to kiss every date the very first time they go out, and why should they? They hardly know each other at all, the first time they're together they want to get acquainted and know more about the boy before they kiss him goodnight. "None of us like the drippy boy who tells us that all girls 'neck,' so why shouldn't we. We know that all girls don't neck; even if they did, it's no good reason for us to do it, too. Kisses should mean some- something and they don't if you scarcely know each other." | | Appreciati ve Notes From Distant Places The woman's page features of the Times-Gazette are widely read: "We have read The Times- Gazette for years and I always look for the different patterns" says Mrs. S.

Live 50 or 60 Years And Fly to the Moon London, March 11--(Reuters)--A trip to the moon "within the next 50 or 60 years" in a space-ship travelling at thousands of - miles an hour was visualized by Prof. A. M. Low in an interview today. The past president of the British Inter-Planetary Society pictured pioneers wearing suits designed for protection against intense heat and cold and carrying their own oxygen supplies, seated in a giant space- ship navigated by radar and driven by atomic energy. "The first useful experiment in this direction will undoubtedly be the American 'rocket postal ser- vice' between the United States and Britain," he said. "If you can travel from America to Britain by rocket--and no one doubts that you can--you can certainly travel to the moon. "Hundreds of thousands of people will almost certainly be killed in first attempts at inter-planetary travel, but if as much money were to -be spent cn designing space ships as has been spent on design- ing weapons of war a safe method of making the journey would not coubt be found in time. "Such a space ship could be de- signed, but it will not be built now because it is quite beyond the means of any private society and because it has no immediate finan- cial return."

Sir Cedric Prefers Stage to Screen | By NORMAN CRIBBENS Canadian Press Staff Writer London, March 11-- (CP) Although he is soon to be seen in the new British film of Charles Dickens' novel "Nicholas Nickle- by," Sir Cedric Hardwicke, versa tile British character actor, is no booster for movie acting, "If there is acting to be dome," he said, "the stage is the only place on which to do it." Sir Cedric said the best actors preferred to spend most of their time on the stage for less money playing to comparatively small, but "more satisfying," audiences. His reason: "the screen has so little to offer actors. It deals chiefly in terms of 'boy meets girl!" Of movies in general, Sir Cedrie has this to say: "The incubus of boy-and-girl sex motive weights on every film. The development of character is sacrificed to the familiar intricacies of amorous pursuit--a pursuit in which, of course, only the young are fitted to take part. "Life very definitely does not begin at 40 in Hollywood. At that advanced age you have become & museum piece." Times-Gazette classified ads pay Buus 32 KING ST.
