'PAGE SIX THE DAILY TIMES.GAZETTE THURSDAY, MAY 13, 1948 oF Visitors from Birmingham, England Enjoying Anticipated Holiday Here By JO ADWINCKLE A dream has come through,-- a holiday planned ten years ago has at last been realized by Mr. and Mrs, Harry Phillips; sister Mrs. G. ©. Garrett, and Mr. Garrett, Cen- tre Street. "We started to save up for this trip in 1940, and booked our passage over 18 months ago," said Mrs. Phillips. The Phillips' home is at Great Barr, near Birmingham, and Mrs. Phillips is a school teacher in the Girls' Department at Spon Lane Secondary Modern School at Spon Lane, West Bromwich, end Mr. Phillips is a builder. Mrs. Phillips obtained two months' leave of absence despite the shortage of teachers in Eng- land, and will be back in time for 'the school outing at the end of June, and nearly a month of teach- ing before the school year ends at the end of July, Her girls, she said, asked her to get pen-friends for them and she is collecting the mames of girls here who would like to correspond with girls of their own age at her school, Most of the names so far have come from Centre Street school, and she would like to have still more from other sohools in town. Bhe is greatly impressed with Centre Street school, adding, "We bave nothing to touch it, Our schools are mostly old ard many of them have been damaged, but olr system seems in advance." She explained that at about 11 years of age pupils take an entrance éx- pmination that qualifies them for BR) Secondary €sammar School; b) Secondary Technical School or, c) Secondary Modern School. The first category is for the top-plac- Ing pupils and affords them an moademic education. The second ls for the average group, and they MRS. HARRY PHILLIPS * pb pet more commercial or vocation- Al traning. The third group re- peives a practical education in which the boys learn carpentry and pooking, and the girls study do- mestic. science. The. girls also handyman jobs, such. as put- ling washers on taps and shoe re- pairs. All this, Mrs. Phillips explained, ls entirely free, including text books | and stationery. "An easy compan- lonship exists between teacher and | pupil, which was seldom seen in my day," she smiled, "and children are taller and healthier. They have a third of a pint of milk given them every day, and can buy a nu- tritious dinner at school for five pence, They are closely supervis- ed by doctors and nurses, and a child showing malnutrition gets dinner free at the doctor's recom- mendation. "Under the new National Health Scheme," put in Mr. Phillips, "we ME. HARRY PHILLIPS * +e are taken care of from the cradle to the grave. Tonsils, adenoids, teeth are all given medical atten- tion, even hospitalization costs nothing directly, Of course every- body has to contribute weekly, but thousands are benefitting, Eng- land is the most advanced country in social service in the world to- day," he stated with pride, "and there is no fear of communism there." They both agreed that there was no hostility toward Russia in Eng- land and none of the smouldering suspicion prevalent in the United States. They are enjoying what they are seeing of Canada, and find Cana- dians friendly 'and helpful, but they don't think it would be to their advantage to come here to live. They pointed out that every person "at home" gets a pension at 656 without a "Means Test," so that regardless of property or other su- perannuation the pension is o©b- tainable provided the person is not employed. "I could make three times the money here," declared Mr. Phillips, "but I doubt if I'd be as well off at the end. Even my funeral expens- es will be taken care of over there," he joked. "Of course lots of people say we're losing our individual liberty," interpolated Mrs. Phillips, "but we're building a healthy, self-re- specting generation .It is a long term plan that will prove itself in history." On the lighter side Mrs. Phillips is "staggered". by the amount of food in the shops, and Mr. Phillips is "amazed" at the reckless driving white," he said, on the highway. "I don't know why the police cars here are "any chump can see them coming." Whenever a tube of paste or a bottle of tablets has been emptied, placing the little screw top in one's change purse will serve as a re- minder that another must be pur- chased.

A larger number are expected to attend the third presentation in June. The party, for more than 2,000 guests, was on austerity lines by order of the King. It was a com- promise between court and garden party and the King and Queen and members of the Royal family mov- ed informally among their guests, For girls and escorts, attendance at this party counts as formal pres- entation. Debutantes did not, how- ever, have to make the complicated low curtsy which was customary at formal evening courts before the war, Instead, they gave a simple "bob" or abbreviated ourtsy made to Royalty on ordinary occasions. The men bowed, Women wore afternoon gowns and men lounge suits or uniform. For the first time since the war, state apartments on the first floor of the palace were used and a long marquee stood in the grounds with a covered way from the bow saloon | to buffets, where tea was served.

Seen In Documentary Film By MARILYN LAMBORN Guelph, May 13 -- (CP) -- A preview of the 30-minute colored film showing the growth of the Women's Institutes and the 50th anniversary celebrations here last year was given before 75 Institute the On- tario Agricultural College's Mac- donald Institute, The audience whispered excitedly as they pointed out their friends and glimpses of themselves in the film, shot uhder the production of John Colombo of Kitchener. The script, prepared by M. Mc- Intyre Hood of the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture, told the story of the Institute's founding and gave a vivid picture of the late Mrs. Adelaide Hoodless of Stoney Creek, Ont, who through the loss of her baby realized that rural women didn't know enough about nutrition and homemaking. With the help of a young Stoney Creek farmer, Erland Lee, she founded the institution that was to improve the life of rural women in 26 countries. Thus "Let There Be Light" was chosen as title for the film. Shots taken in the Kitchener Collegiate depict travelling libraries, compiled community histories, immunization schemes and courses in practical homemaking. Also screened were the 50th an- niversary celebrations to which more than 12,000 members of the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario met at Guelph in what was believed the largest gathering of women ever assembled in Canada's history.

Miss Irene Walsh of the Rendez-Vous club explained what World-Wide Observance meant. This is the first time that the Osh- awa Y.W.C.A. has observed it, but she explained how for twenty-one years Y.W.CAA's across the world have had a Business Girl's observ- ance in the spring of each year. The idea started back in 1927 as a Nation-Wide banquet to bring the many business girls' clubs in the United States closer together, to give them a sense of unity and of- fer an® opportunity for them to work together on some subject of common interest. It has since grown from a national idea to one of World-Wide significance. The World-Wide Observance is now held by young adult members in all YW. CA's across the world usual- ly in March, The international theme this year was "Growing Up", and the Oshawa girls decided that the evening's theme should be "Growing Up as Women in the YW.C.A", and they based their program around this theme. Miss Grace Luke, counsellor of the Osha-Y Club, conducted a short worship service, Mrs. W. Lang, Miss Doreen Trainer, and Miss Lillian Pritchard of the Y- Ette club conducted a radio-quiz on the Oslo Christian Youth Confer- ence. Miss Grace Wilson, Miss Dorothy Hal, Miss Florence Hor- ton, and Miss Lois Coleman dra- matized a humorous skit on girls and jobs entitled "Careers Unlimit- ed." Miss Eleanor Clarke of the Over- Twenty club then called on Mrs, Ross Luke pf the Rendez-Vous club, Miss Josie' Slobodzeon of the Y- Ette club, Miss Joy Bennett of the Over-Twenty Club, Miss Eileen Butler of the Cluture-Y Club, and Miss Eleanor Oliver of the Osha-Y club to condyct a panel discussion. These five girls gave the reports of the five discussion groups they ata- tended while at the Regional Con- ference. The rest of the girls joined in the discussions which fol- lowed. Miss Dorothea Hall of the Osh- Y Club was elected to be the Osh- awa Y.W.C.A. delegate to the Na- tional Assembly which will be held in the Lake-of-the-Woods district the latter part of August.

The Associ- ation holds its meetings on the first Tuesday evening of every month. --Photo by Campbeli's Studio Says Wife's Place Is in the Kitchen Montreal -- (CP) -- Life in the kitchen may be dull -for the girl who was a working wife during the war but there's at least one women's authroity who says the place for that same wife, now that hubby's out of uniform and back in harness, is right in the kitchen. The authority is Miss Hermine Marchessault, director of the wom- en's section at the National Em- ployment Service, Montreal. "I can't agree with the married women who apply for work in an ever-increasing number daily," she said today. "I can understand their desires, in some measure, but I can't agree with them." Miss Marchessault blames war- year habits for the increasing job demands from married women. They find the broom and egg beat- er prosaic implements compared to war machinery. Then, too, they liked earning their own money. But there are disadvantages too, for the working wife. Miss Mar- chessault says the married woman who works outside her home will spend more on food because she must shop in a hurry; she must increase her wardrobe, pay car fare, hire a woman to do or help do the home duties and pay 'in- come tax. In most cases it isn't worth it. Most married women seeking work want to recover financial in- dependence or, especially when they have no children, cannot stand for 24 hours daily the smallness of their apartments, Mrs. W. J Flintoff was elected president at the May meeting of the Cedar Dale Home and School Association on Monday evening. Other officers elected were: Vice- presidents, Mrs. Robert Shorten and Mrs. George Jackson; record. ing secretary, Mrs. M. Peters; core responding secretary, Mrs. John Badaur; treasurer, Mrs. Frank Grant; executive, Mrs. Warmer Williams, Mrs. Alfred Jones, Mrs. Norman Magee, Mrs. Ralph Bone- ham, Mrs. Albert Warsley, Mr. E. G. Higgins. Mrs. Norman Hinds, distriot cone vener for Home and School, inw stalled the officers, and stressed that to have a successful orgame ization all the executive and mem- bers must co-operate with the president. She extended a cordial invitation to attend Home and School Council and said they were ready to help the associations at all times, Mrs. Hinds was present- ed with a cup and saucer. Mrs. Willlam Badaur presided for the routine business and re- ports on the Home and School As. sociation convention in Toronto were given by Mrs. V. Haggerty and Mrs. W. Badaur. Mr. Sam Pankhurst played two piano solos, Prelude by Rachman- inoff and Etude by Chopin. The Misses Mary Rosnak, May Shubaly, Yvonne Melenchuck with Miss Linda Peters at the planc, sang the Dickey Bird Song. Plans were made to hold a field day in the school grounds next month, and award the winners of the athletic events, school crests. are to serve hot dogs and pop. It was decided to hold a euchre in The Home and School Association the school on Thursday evening, May 13. Mr. E. G. Higgins expressed his sincere appreciation for the assist- ance and co-operation of Mrs. W, Badaur and the retiring officers, and said it was very encouraging to know we have interested parents in the community with a willing- ness to help put over an educa. tional programme. Speaking as a member of the Home and School Association, he said that he realiz- ed it was anything but en easy job, and he wanted it known that he appreciated the work, time thought and effort the people had given to the Home and School work in Cedar Dale School. The help is sincerely appreciated by the cipal of the school. Room prize was won by Ms, L. Werdmeyer's room, Grade 1. Lunch was served by Mrs. Alfred Jones and her committee.
