The | Consumer Branch of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board was closed officially in Oshawa and through- out the Dominion. . | In Ontario County, Mrs. R. S.' McLaughlin served as the chair- man; in Whitby, Mrs. G. M. Good- fellow was chairman, and in Osh- awa, for the first year, Mrs. H. C. Nobes, and succeeding her, Mrs. | Uriah Jones, 'tne CU:ISUmeH 3 had also its representatives in Brooklin, Claremont, Ajax and Whitevale. Chairman of the whole central Ontario region was Mrs. Ryland H. New of Oakville. ei} The chief job of the Consumer | Branch, said Mrs. Jones yesterday, was to "spread the right answers." | This task, according to the office | in Toronto, was well done here. | Credit for this goes to the leaders just named and to the represent- atives from the women's organiza- tions--in Oshawa itself, there were | 60 of them--who faithfully attended | the monthly meetings and took back to their groups the information and inspiration received. If one were to sum up their work, it might be expressed as that of inducing people to pull with the government her than against it. 'The carping critics of rules and re- strictions were changed into sup- porters of them when authoritative | explanations - were forthcoming | These the members of the Con- sumer Branch were supplied with. Not only did the meetings to which there was regularly a speaker brought provide the ans- | wers.' The monthly publication, Consumer News, also enabled the |. ¢ members to point out answers in | black and white. { Questionnaires Answered Throughout the whole existence of the Consumer Branch in Oshawa the Price Study Panel operated. Questionnaires received from the local WPTB were answered by the members of the panel, seven in the city and five in the county, and after the reports were tabulated by Mrs. Jones, they were sent on regu- larly. = | The Consumer Branch also dis- tributed pamphlets and the month- | ly publication, Consumer News, the members of the Church organizations, lodges, clubs and other groups of the 60 represented. intensive education proved worth while, Mrs. Jones believes. Mrs. Kate Aitken, Conservation Supervisor, and Mrs. L. E. Roe, Supervisor of the Re-Make Centre in Toronto, visited the local Branch and gave demonstrations, one of the most striking of which was re- making servicewomen's uniforms for civilian use. At the Oshawa Fall Fair the Con- sumer Branch exhibited re-makes on more than one occasion and also one year showed an impressive con- trast between what five dollars bought in the First Great War and the Second, thus furnishing a con- proof of the value of the work of the Consumer Branch and the WPTB. Mrs, Jones yesterday spoke ap- preciatively of the valuable help she always received from Mrs. Mc- Laughlin, chairman of the Con- sumer Branch for the whole of this county. She also paid tribute to Mrs. N. H. Dunford, corresponding secretary, and Mrs. C. O. Miller, recording secretary, who served the | Joel} organtmiion so faithfully and BOY OF 4 BARONET Sir John Mansel, Bart, aged 36, has died after an operation for peritonitis and is succeeded by his four-year-old son Philip.

Miss Dorothy Milne Married in England Details of the wedding of Miss Dorothy Milne who went to Eng- land early this year to be married to Fit-Lt.

A. Beaghen officiating, and Mr. W, A. Brown at the organ. The bride is the elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs, J. W. Milne, Oshawa, and the bridegroom is the elder son of Mr, and Mrs. H. H.

FLEGG of Louisa Street who were married in England fifty years ago today. An interview with the couple appears on this page. --Photo by Campbell's Studio Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Flegg Years Wed Today Are Fifty In talking to Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Flegg who celebrate their golden wedding today, it is difficult to realize that they are in their seven- ties, and fifty years have passed since that sunny Sunday morning, May 16, 1897, when they were wed. A younger golden anniversary pair would be hard to find. They are both in excellent health; Mr. Flegg is employed at General Motors and Mrs. Flegg is a busy housewife, Both born in London, they were married in St. Paul's parish church, West Ham, by the Rev. W. E. R. Morrow. The bride, then Miss Mary Ann Patfield, wore blue velvet and white satin and was attended by the bridegroom's sister, now living in Australia. Mrs. Flegg has a brother in Scot- land, and .sisters and another bro- ther in London. Mr. Flegg has two sisters in Australia and sisters and a brother in Australia. The London- ers all survived the blitz although they were bombed out more than once. Mr.-and Mrs, Flegg spent three months in England in 1921 and hope_to go home for a visit as soon as travelling is a little easier. Encouraged by letfers from friends, the couple came to Canada in 1907 and settled in Cowansville, Quebec, where Mr. Flegg went into business for himself. In 1935, most- ly because a daughter had married and come to live here, the Fleggs came to Oshawa and have enjoyed Celebrations Have Begun The - anniversary celebrations started over a week ago at the Fun Parade in the Arena when Mrs. Flegg received a cameo brooch and a large bouquet of mixed flowers for being married longer than anyone else in the audience. When asked by the Master of Ceremonies, Roy Ward Dickson, if he ever beat his wife, Mr. Flegg re- plied, "Yes, on Saturday night." A ripple of embarassed amusement swelled into a wave of applause when he added, "At cards." To mark the anniversary a fam- ily party will be held at the home of a daughter, Mrs, Sidney Sharples, and Mr. Sharples, tomorrow night. Those expected in the family circle are Mr, and Mrs. Ernest Flegg and family, Toronto; Mr. and Mrs. Blakely McCann, Simcoe; Mr. and Mrs. George Flegg and Mr. and Mrs. Percy Densham. Due to the illness of his wife, Mr. Sydney Flegg of Bedford, Quebec, may not be present. There are eight grandchil- dren including a set of twins. Also among the guests will be Mrs. Alma Pauley, wife of a 'cousin of Mrs, Flegg. J When asked for a recipe for a happy marriage, Mrs. Flegg sald, "Make up your mind to make the best of everything, learn to give and take, and don't expect to start out in the way your parents are leaving off." The congenial atmos- phere of the Flegg home proves that living here ever since. her advice is worth heeding. TIPS FOR TEENS -- He A Nineteener on "Going Steady' By ELINOR "There's another side to the ques- tion of 'going steady' that you didn't mention in your recent article," points out a "nineteener." "You said that girls who go steady miss chances for dates with other boys and when the boy switches to another girl, she's left home alone twiddling her thumbs. That's true all right, because I've seen it happen, " "But there's another angle. In some cases, going steady is a good thing, because it gives a girl more fun, Take the case of a girl who is shy, quiet and doesn't get acquaint- ed easily, or a girl "who lives out- side the town and no boys live any- where near her. A girl like that hag more boy- the boy who ard to get ac- girls, whether you go steady or not depends on whether you can have lots of dates with different peo- ple or whether you're likely to have more chances for fun if you go with one boy or girl." True enough. But there's this dis- fun if she does | WILLIAMS advantage. Go steady with a girl or boy who is' fun and you may miss meeting the one who'd be a real ro- mance, (Are you for "going steady" or against it?
