May Day Sale "Great Success St. George's parish hall was as gay and busy as a village green on market day yesterday afternoon when the third annual May Day sale was held by the Evening Branch of the Women's Auxiliary. Pastel shades of crepe paper were used on the booths and the plat- form table was centred with a "merrie" - maypole surrounded by dancing 'figures. This was dupli- cated in miniature on the prettily arranged. tea table where sweet peas and tall tapers added to the festive air. Mrs. D. M. Rose, honorary presi- dent, officially opened the sale and in welcoming the guests spoke briefly on the part which women play in church organizations, and she paid tribute to their untiring efforts.

Farrow, Mrs. S. W. Wotton and Mrs. Robert Clayton poured tea. Over 200 guests were served and Mrs. Cecil Walker and her assistants were kept busy.

But, as the two boys lived at different times and in different countries, their experiences are widely apart. In "New Chum," John Mansfield tells of his life on the British train- ing ship, the "Conway." At thir- teen years of age, he started his ap- prenticeship in the merchant ser- vice. This book tells only of his first term aboard the "Conway." Mansfield recalls with nostalgia the first day of his new life. Di- dections and bits of information were volunteered Irom all sides -- some truths, but most often the us- ual falsehoods with which some of the old hands confused the 'new chums." Bells and pipes also help- ed to make his head spin. After a victorious struggle with his ham- mock, he finally turned in that night thoroughly weary, But he was not allowed comfort for very long. When all was ap- parently quiet and peaceful, he landed on the deck with a thump. This was the first of many tricks played on him in rapid succession during that term. However, he. soon discovered friends who were reliable and will- ing to help him. Even then, because he hated cruelty and injustice, he landed in many a scrape. This autobiography . describes with admirable freshness a part of the life of England's Poet Laureate which is little known. Through his experiences may be seen the gener- al routine of the life of the young & Books in the Public Library Calling Collegiate Students students ashore and afloat on the Mersey River. The second book, "On to Oregon," written by Honore Morrow, is a story based on the life of John Sager, one of the pioneers of the United States. It took a long tinfe for John's fa- ther to convince his wife that they should go farther west to Oregon. When the gentle, beautiful wom- an finally consented, the large family lost no time in setting out. There was work for everyone, but John shirked his duty whenever possible. After receiving just pun- ishment for several weeks, John de- cided to run away. He became lost, and was rescued by the great Kit Carson, who persuaded him to re- main with the caravan. Later, John was glad he had stayed, for, when his father and mother died of a deadly disease that was sweeping the 'community, he took over the wagon. John then showed how brave he was, and ev- en after many- wagons had turned back, he struggled on alone. The desire to prove himself a man urg- ed him on. Although there was very little equipment, and only a few supplies, John kept his younger brother and sisters crawling wearily across plains and over mountains. They travelled a thousand miles alone, pushing on with the caravan cry, "On to Oregon!" Mrs, Morrow has very under- standingly portrayed the children in this intensely human book. She pictures the children as enjoying the journey, even though they were hard-pressed for food, and very weary. Interesting and stimulating reading may be found in "On to Oregon."

TIPS FOR TEENS Here's a bright girl who not only sends a kind word about "Tips" but also tells us which ones are on her special hit parade, Perhaps they'll help you, too. "I've read 'Tips for Teens' ever since I've been in the 'teens and tried dozens of them and keep them in a scrapbook. These are my fav- orite ones that I use all the time: -- "Quick clean up for hair between shampoos--slip a stiff-bristled brush in an old rayon stocking with the bristles sticking out through the mesh of the stocking, Brush your hair a strand at a time. Surface oil dust and scalp flakes quickly come off on the stocking, leaving your hair softer and cleaner. (I use this when I have a cold and can't sham- poo my hair, too). "Lemon rinse--strain the juice of a lemon and add it to the last luke- warm rinse after a shampoo. You were right when you said ft makes hair fluffy, + "Tooth brightener -- this is easy Simply brush your teeth two or three times a week with baking so- da. It does seem to help keep my teeth white.

Solina Couple 25 Years Wed Mr. and Mrs. Norval Wotten of Solina were 25 years married last Monday and so, to celebrate and show affection for this couple, 50 of their friends and relatives gath- ered at their home last Saturday evening.

Municipal Field By ISADORE ALBIN Canadian Press Staff Writer Montreal, May 2--(CP)--Election of Gertrude Emard as alderman of neighboring St. Lambert signified another gain in the struggle of Quebec women for political eman- cipation. For years Quebec women fought male prejudices before obtaining Provincial suffrage in 1940--18 years after women of other provinces had been enfranchised -- although fed- eral suffrage was obtained in 1918. Some Quebec municipalities still bar woman from holding office as do many professional organizations. At present Miss Emard and Kath- leen Fisher, only councillor on Mon- treal's 99-member council, are the sole voices of Quebec women in the municipal field. Influential Rival Nominated for last month's elec- tion by members of St. Lambert's proprietors' league, Mrs. Emard ob- tained a majority of 363 votes over ex-alderman Henri George Gon- thier, Son of George Gonthier, Auditor-General of Canada, and a prominent businessman. "I consider it a real personal tri- umph to have beaten an influential man like Mr. Gonthier," she said in an interview. Non-partisan Miss Emard believes she was elected because people who voted for her had complete faith that she would do a good job. Years of experience and sincerity were outstanding factors in her victory. Hears From Honduras Congratulatory telegrams, letters and telephone calls besieged Miss Emard after it was learned she was the first woman to be elected alderman in St. Lambert's history. One letter came from distant Brit- ish Honduras. Mrs. Theodule Bruneau . and Elizabeth Monk, the latter among the first women admitted to the Quebec bar, are the only other women who have held public of- fice in the province. They were councillors from 1940 to 1942. Will Help Rebuild, Re-equip. Christian Colleges in China Re-elected MRS. WILLIAM CORBETT who was re-elected president of the executive board of the Scout Mothers' Auxiliaries at a meeting last Wednesday. --Photo by Campbell's Btudio Mrs. Corbett Heads Scout Mothers Again Mrs. William Corbett was re- elected president at the annual meeting of the executive board of the Scout Mothers' Auxiliaries held in the Scout Hall, Athol Street, on Wednesday afternoon and Mr. Leonard C.

E, Umphrey; 2nd vice-president -- Mrs. James Foy; recording secretary -- Mrs. W. E. Bradbury; corresponding secretary --Mrs. Glenford Taylor; treasurer-- Mrs. George Wotton; telephone convener--Mrs., Herbert Wagar. Mr. Knight spoke of the great help the auxiliaries give to the boys and leaders. Boy Scouts live ac- cording to a code, Mr. Knight said, and obtain spiritual guidance from their leaders. Thus better citizens | are made, and by supporting Scout~ ing the mothers are helping con- | siderably with this work. On installing the new officers, Mr. Knight said that the executive board was a means of holding the auxiliaries together, making a smooth-running organimsation. Reports from their auxiliaries were read by the following mem- bers: 1st Oshawa -- Mrs. H. 8S. Weeks; 3rd Oshawa -- Mrs. James Foy; 5th Oshawa -- Mrs. John T. Kellington; 6th Oshawa--Mrs. Don Hutchings; 7th Oshawa--Mrs, Her- bert Wagar; 8th Oshawa--Mrs. C. E. Umphrey; 15th Oshawa -- Mrs. Walter Tippett. .

It was anneunced that the 15th Oshawa Mothers' Auxiliary would hold a tea next Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Walter Tippett, and the following Wednesday, May 14, a bazaar would be held in Albert Street United Church. An invitation from the Port Perry Auxiliary to attend a dance and euchre party at Port Perry High School tonight at 8 was extended to all groups. / Tennis Club Turns Spotlight on Tennis "Spotlight on Tennis" which the Oshawa Tennis Club will give next Tuesday at 8 p.m. in Piccadilly Room of the Genosha will be open to all who are interested in tennis or would like to be.

Gordon Agnew, another missionary on furlough, called for increased Canadian staff. He reported that various research projects were pro- ceeding in border areas toward Tibet although inflation, air raids and overcrowded campus had taken toll of morale and finances in war time.
