HOLDSWORTH Canadian Press Correspondent Sydney, Australia, March 14-- (CP)--Mrs. William John McKell, who becomes Australia's first lady as wife of the newly-appointed and Australian = born governor--gener- al, has played an unobtrusive part in her husband's career as Labor premier of New South Wales.

Ice Queen Endorses Red Cross Campaign Toronto, March 13, 1947 -- Bar- bara Ann Scott, the world's Ice Queen, visited the Toronto Branch of the Canadian Red Cross, when she came to Toronto Tuesday, March 11, and donned the uni- form of a Red Cross Hospital worker to visit the veterans at Sunnybrook and Christie Street Hospitals. In a telephone interview at the home of relatives Mr. and Mrs. H, H. Caldwell in Prescott, where she was spending the week-end, the world's champion woman fig- ure skater declared the' because of her mother's great interest in and service to Red Cross. in Otta- wa, she herself was very familiar with Red Cross effort, and heart- ily endorsed the Society's camp- aig for five million dollars, Red Cross work among veter- ans had a special appeal for her, for she had often visited the re- turned men in Ottawa military hospitals with Red Cross Hospital workers, "I would gladly do any- thing to help Red Cross," she said, Special Appeal of Veterans "Barbara was always interested in Red Cross work for veterans," interjected her mother, "She al- ways called them Daddy's Veter- ans.' " Her father, the late Col. Clyde Scott was with the Depart- ment of Veterans Affairs, Said Barbara Ann:--"Mother has been very close to Red Cross as a driver with the, Red Cross Corps, and I have a deep admira- tion for Red Cross work." While too young tec join the Corps her- self, Barbara Ann did her bit as an assistant in the Red Cross lunch room at Ottawa's Capitol theatre, which raised thousands of dollars during the war years for Red Cross and other charities. In Britain Barbara Ann and her mother had their first opportunity to see end results of Red Cross work overseas. The bitter cold and the lack of fuel had resulted in much suffering to a gallant peo- ple on top of six years of war. The instant response of Canadian Red Cross to the plight of the British people in this emergency, was therefore most heartening, the young skating queen declared. Emergency Shipment "As a Red Cross Worker," sald Mrs. Scott, "I knew clothing of all kinds was being distributed regularly by the Canadian Red Cross in the United Kingdom but I have just heard of an emergency shipment by the Canadian Red Cross of nearly half a million blankets and undergarments which was rushed to Britain and will reach there within the next few days." Mrs, Scott stated that she knew the Canadian Red Cross Society had spent more than sev- enteen million dollars of war funds for overseas relief, such em- ergencies being an- aftermath of war, ! "In France in Britain, in Swit. zerland, Czechslovakia, and 3we- den, evidence of Canadian Red Cross help for the relief of suffer- ing made us all realize that the world has become a small place and we are living on its main street, Such important contribu- tion to human welfare is the bes: record of Red Cross." Principal O'Neill At King St. H& S Mr. A. E. O'Neill, principal of the O.C.V.I, was the guest speaker at the monthly meeting of the King Street Home and School Association on Tuesday night, Mrs. Sidney Sharples presided and introduced the speaker, Quoting from Hamlet, Mr. O'Neill asked, "What is Quintessence of Dust?" "Man plays a very import- ant part in the world," he declared, "and we are privileged to belong to this great masterpiece of creation." "Man has developed a wonderful mind," he said; "nothing in nature can compare with it, but closely connected is the ability to speak." "Man is destined to greater things, and so we must not fail to use our heritage. We shall have problems all our lives," he con tinued, "and these will not be solved by competition but co-oper- ation." . In closing, Mr. O'Neill remarked, "We all belong to this quintessence of dust, and it will take time, thought, courage and energy on our part, as each one plays his import- ant role in this universe." Mrs. Robert Richardson, with Mrs. Victor Peacock as pianist, sang two numbers, "Homing" and "When Irish Eyes are Smiling."

Family Party "The interest and dividends on the money sen to China?" were en- joyed at the Family Party of the Wceeman"s Missionary Society of St. Andrew's United Church last eve- ning in the chapel, which is Mrs. J. C. Thompson's way of saying that a young Chinese woman train- ed in United Church educational institutions in West China address- ed a gathering of members of the two auxiliaries of the W.M.S. and the Canadian Girls in Training. The affiliation service of the C.G. IT. wag conducted by Mrs. George Telford, Introduced by Mrs. Thompson, Miss Eleanor Liu, who is in Toron- to for a year to take her master's degree at the Ontario College of Education, told simply about her- self, her family and Wer work back in. China. As Englisia has been her means of communication only since coming to Canada, one had to lis- ten closely to get her meaning al- ways but underlying that conscious effort made by her hearers was a feeling of amazement that such a command of idiomatic English had been gained in so short a time. The daughter of a Confucianist father and a Buddhist mother, Miss Liu told of attending the primary mission school in Chiating in Szechuan, then proceeding to high school and the West China Chris- tian University in Chengtu, where at first she studied medicine, changed her mind and graduateéa as a bachelor of science and later obtained the degree'of BD, in theology. C.G.LT. in China In the school in Chungking, of which she is principal, Miss Liu has charge of 600 girls. There are in that school 20 C.G.IT. groups but over there, Miss Liu pointed out, these four letters mean not Canadian Girls in Training, but Chinese Girlg in Training. A serv- ice she held out of doors with these girls on Good Friday made a great impressipn on the leader herself. The first part of the meeting was an affiliation service in which Mrs. Telford presided for the ceremony by which the Canadian Girls in Training' and the Explorers be- come a recognized part of the larg- er organization. Mrs. L. M. Mc- Murtry and Miss Ruth Arrol, C.G. IT. leaders, and Miss Elsie Arrol, leader of the Explorers, took part. Misses Natalie Ness and Dorothy MacLean conducted the devotional period. Members of the afternoon and evening auxiliaries carried ban- ners bearing the names of the mis- sion fields of the Church, thus re- minding the girls of the extent of the work with which their group was becoming associated. Mrs. John Russell and Mrs. J. C. Fetterly were appointed dele- gates to the 19th annual meeting of the Oshawa Presbyterial of the W.M.S., which will be held in Sim- coe Street United Church next Tuesday. ! Mrs, Russell Black presided at the plano for the singing and Mrs. M. F.* Kirkland was convener of the committee serving refreshments. The next meeting of the after- noon auxiliary of the W.M.S. will Teacher and Students Pictured above are Miss Eleanor Liu in the foreground and two graduates of her school in Chung- king, West China, Miss Liu, who is in Canada on a scholarship from the Woman's Missionary Society of the United Church, was the special speaker at the Family Night of the W.M.S, of St. Andrew's United Church last evening.

TIPS FOR TEENS -- Inviting to a Dance and Going By ELINOR Wondering uneasily if you'll do the right thing at the right time when you go to the prom? Then let's start at the beginning so you'll make the date click. Some boys, eager beavers, invite girls two or three months in ad- vance, then never mention it again. As the zero hour approaches, the girls become worried wrecks won- dering if their would-be partners have forgotten the invitation. A month or three weeks ahead is a good time to invite your date; two weeks is the minimum. This gives her time to bustle around in search of something dreamy in white net or plaid taffeta. Then phone or see her a few days before the shindig to "remind her" of your date. This lets her know that everything's buzzing on sched- ule and gives you a chance to check on the color of her dress so that your corsage won't clash with it. It's perfectly OK for a boy to in- vite a girl from another school to his prom and for a girl to ask a boy from another school or town. The one who does the inviting, girl or boy, buys the tickets and ex- changes dances beforehand, mak- ing out the program. But no matter who invites whom, the boy provides transportation to and from the dance, whether it's a nifty convertible or a are-the- ride arrangement with another WILLIAMS couple. When you arrive at the dance, arrange where you'll meet your partner after she parks her wrap and you check yours. This avoids the embarrassment of losing each other in the crowd. Begin each dance with introductions, if necessary, and rejoin your original partner at the end of each dance.

London Designer Predicts Change London, March 12--(CP)--Big de- velopments in women's fashions are predicted by Victor Stiebel, London dress designer, "Fashions are thawing and we are on the edge of what will be the most interesting development of the last half century," he said at a showing of his spring export collec- tion. "There is an urgent require- ment for clothes with fluid lines that accentuate charm." His is one of several spring shows which attracted critical buyers and fashion reviewers. Another collec- tion of interest was Bianca Mos- ca's, which {illustrated the small waist by a balance between bulky shoulders and draped hips. She favored drapery twisted and pulled to one side, and for evening wear the fullness sometimes ter- minated in the hint of a bustle. French fabrics, now beginning to make their reappearance in this country, attracted attention in Stiebel's collection. Lovely printed silks, brocades and damasks which Britain seems unable to equal and soft British wools and worsteds were materials on which he worked. For suits, the drift toward round- er lines continues. Shoulders have a minimum of padding, waists are neat and hips are spotlit by slight- ly flared jackets and the details on pockets. Coats and skirts are a fraction longer but the classic suit is probably the least influenced by tentative changes of line. Simpler But Varied Drape-on day dresses have be- come simpler but more varied and the tulip skirt, introduced last season, is still widely used. Stiebel uses short- boleros incor- porated in the dress to give a more comfortable look to the bodice. Skirts tend to be reed-slim though on some frocks, both for day and evening wear, he uses crystal-pleats over the hips only. His evening dresses were nearly all very low, back and front, many of them without visible means of support. Others had thin shoulder straps. Dinner dresses, too, were low, many of them with almost waistlength V-shaped neckline and lapels. A brown chiffon evening dress was made with a draped scarf of the same material. The scarf was low over the shoulders at the back, formed a low V in front and then tied in a knot. The skirt had crystal-pleats over the hips and was then allowed to fall free. opimismaiemssreni-- ROMAN GLASS The art of making glass bottles and drinking glasses was known to the Romans early in the First Century. By PHYLLIS A. BRO Another recent contribu to the field of Canadian literature is "Pride's Fancy" by Thomas H. Rad- dall, among whose earlier works the most notable are " Sud- den" and "His Majesty's Yankees." His latest tale deals with the privateersmen who, following the French Revolution, - cruised the. Caribbean in search of plunder. These men, who sailed under fet- ters of marque issued by the Gov- ernor of Nova Scotia, were men of simple trades who had caught the wanderlust and the hunger for wealth. Most of these men gained noth ing but a romantic experience, a few became rich. Some perished in the bloody sea battles, some of the deadly yellow-jack in the fever. infested islands, some of the come mon hazards of the unpredictable sea, His Mansion This book recounts, more par- ticularly, the experiences of Jona- than Cain, the foster son of Amos Pride, the wealthiest, shrewdest and most grasping man {in s NS. in the 1780s. The material symbol of his now realized struggle for power and wealth was his pre- tentious mansion. "Pride's Fancy" was the name popularly appended to this mansion and later to the brigandine Amos Pride built for privateering between Halifax and the Caribbean. His adopted son was to be his heir and marry his daughter. However, circumstances and the beautiful daughter of a West Indies planter intervened. Nathan set sail for Hispaniola, an island in the Caribbean formerly ruled by the French but now by the blacks and mulattoes, taking with him Dolainde, one of the usurped plantation owners, his daughter, Lia, and a French adventurer, Brule, as guide. They were to re- cover there a hoard of gold left by Dolainde in his flight from the up- rising 10 years before. The expe- dition seemed doomed from the start for at the very launching of his new ship, Amos Pride cut his hand on the christening bottle and marked the prow with blood. Omen Fulfilled This omen was fulfilled as the ship made its way through southern waters, plundering and skirmishing with foreign privateers and trad- ers. Vivid accounts are given of the violent sea battles fought by the bloodthirsty cutthroats encoun- tered in the treacherous shoals off Santo Domingo. Once at their destination, the men learned that there was no hidden treasure, only & mound of earth which marked Madame Do- lainde's grave and beside which the pain-crazed Frenchman entreated that his be dug. After his sudden death and burial, the frustrated men set off for the ship, only to be captured by an band of blacks set on their trail by Brule, the treacherous guide. " After their release, Nathan and his men discovered that Brule and hig cutthroats had taken over the ship. The next few hours were filled with excitement and terror as the two men sought to outwit each other. Finally, Brule blew up the ship and as Nathan and Lia, who had narrowly escaped, watched flames consume the magnificent vessel in which had been embodied their hopes and ambitions, they be- gan to plan for a more humble and secure future.
