Portuguese Care For Hungry Waifs Lsbon (Reuters)--More than 1,300 children from Europe, victims of malnutrition, now are in Portugal for a six to eight months holiday under the care of Caritas Portu- guesa, a Portuguese Roman Catholic organization created in 1946 for the relief and help of child victims of the war, This organization was founded in May, 1946, by Mrs. Fernanda Jar- dim, Lisbon society woman who started the work with the help of a number of friends. "When I read in the newspapers horrible descriptions of the suffer- ings of children in devastated Eu- rope, Mrs. Jardim said, "I could not fail to compare their situation with that of .my own five children who have everything they need. . . "I thought that my eountry could do something for these children, so 1 went to see the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon, Don Manuel Goncalves Cerejeira, and proposed a plan for the creation of the Caritas Portu- guesa, His Eminence gave me his full support and I started my cam- paign. "I heard that several Souniries Europe, ticularly Switzerland, ready hed. similar institutions. I got in touch with them and got the detals I needed to develop my plan. I gathered a group of friends to help carry on the work, and so the organization was born." The first children to come to Portugal under this organization arrived early in 19, They were a oup of 46 Austrians. he children were at first placed in a holiday camp sponsored by the government, but later many families started asking to have ,them as guests and the idea soon became popular. : Today, thousands of Portuguese famjlies want to receive foreign children and Caritas Portuguesa is well known throughout the country. From modest - beginnings in a small office consisting of only two rooms; it has moved to a whole floor in a fashionable quarter of Lisbon offered ' by the landlord free of e. arias Portuguesa is maintained by voluntary. contributions and col- lections made in churches, offices, factories and shops, and by govern- ment subsidies. Donations and gifts are welcomed from any country, as are children of any nationality, race or creed. The Caritas Portuguesa is linked with 17 similar organizations in other countries. / Mrs. Jardim said Caritas Portu- guesa "expects to bring to Portugal some children from the Russian zone of Germany and from countries beyond the Iron Curtain." Recently a group of 458 French children arrived and at present there are more than 1,300 foreign children scattered over Portugal as guests of Portuguese families. One hundred German children from British and American zones will arrive shortly while between Oct. 15 and Nov. 30, the Portuguese Caritas expects to welcome several thousand -children from Germany, Austria, France, Hungary and Italy as well as Polish children from Germany.

Liberal PartyWomen Present 6 Resolutions By KAY REX Ottawa,--(CP) -- Women of the Liberal party have marshalled their forces for battle, and this National Convention may turn into a pepper- pot should the resolutions commit- tee try sidestepping their demands. Gathered Wednesday night at a dinner-meeting of the National Federation of Liberal Women, the 200 women delegates and alternates approved six resolutions for pre- sentation to the committee. Speaking on a resolution on po- litical recognition of women, Mrs. Lorne Lee of Aurora, president of the Ontario Liberal Women's Asso- ciation, said that in appointing as its delegates one man, one woman, and one delegate under 30, "the so- called reactionary party has taken a step that should make our party hang its head in shame." Mrs. Paul Ragan of Edmonton, vice-president of the Provincial As- sociation, introduced a resolution that one-third of the senators ap- pointed in each province should be women. "Out of 96 Senate seats only two women are represented and none from the West," she said. Other resolutions the meeting approved included two introduced by Senator Cairine Wilson of Ot- tawa. The first urged that the govern- ment appoint qualified women to the Civil Service Commission, the Unemployment Commission, and the Board of Pensions Commission, The other urged the amendment of the Civil Service Act to permit perséns over 35 to enter the Civil Service on a permanent basis, Another proposal asked a system of federal grants to the provinces to provide funds for needy univer- sity students. A sixth resolution urged estab- lishment of Mackenzie King Cen- tres in such cities as Montreal, Ot- tawa, Toronto, and Winnipeg, where students, professional per- sons and those in industry might meet and discuss topics of mutual interest.

The newest idea in hat shows is based on the theory that a woman shows off her personality every time she sports a new bon- net. The idea was cooked up by Mrs. Kate Aitken, Director of Women's activities at the Canadian National Exhibition and will be demonstra- ted in a special feature when things get underway here, August 27. At a press preview Wednesday, eight stunning chapeaux were shown as representative models of eight different types of "moods" of Canadian women. There was the coy romantic style, the unadorn- ed tailored and intellectual, youth- ful models of lighthearted numbers, voluptuous, daring and a busy act- ive affair for the restless. The hats were specially designed by Karen Ross of Torento, creator of Barbara Ann's now-famous um- brella hat. Miss Ross believes Can- adian women prefer "sane, sensi- ble," styles raher than "mad" ex- treme styles. Newest touch was the voluptuous bicorn affair. It was more than 20 inches across and ended at each point with curled ostrich feathers. It was of soft felt in spode wine and draped softly across the back. Another favorite was the daring type, a tortoise shell felt swept in- to a huge beret. A profile black vel- vet visor matched the two pelican quills ¢lanting down from the right side, The sweet style was a head-huzg- ing bonnet in china pink with a black velvet brim. Black-beaded lace over the crown and butterfly bows on each side added to its daintiness. : TRAIN INDUSTRIAL WORKERS London-(CP)--Britain is setting up a "parliament" for commercial and industrial education to develop a sound system of training hands for industry.

Higher Waistlines Shown for Fall By FLORENCE MILLS Paris, Aug. 6--(AP)--Balenciaga and Lanvin showed fall fashions Thursday night featuring hizh waistlines and third-empire dresses with skirts falling straight from bust level. to waistline. The dapper Spaniard, Christobel Balenciaga, showed coats and dresses with a waistline set more than two inches above the 1948 level, He has a new treatment for his suits. They comprise a jacket with stand-out fluted basques which often dip either at the back or front and extremely tight, straight skirts with a slit up the back to allow leg movement. Over the skirt he places a folded panel, sometimes two narrow ones of matching material, which hangs loose from the waist. It produces a novel effect. Suits in the Lanvin show were mainly of the classic type but many have peplums dipping at the front. Coats in both collections were tent-like and fur-lined. Balen- ciaga lines many of his coats with contrasting colors. Velour is the favorite choicé of material. This is so heavy it makes them kick out as if they were starched. A lemon velour swingback coat was lined with black seal. A lav- ender-colored esge-to-edge 'tulip shaped short coat was trimmed with wide black lamb. Balenciaga showed a full-backed raglan topcoat of caramel-colored blanket velure with an inch-wide black petersham binding around all the edges.

Cases of Cruelty In Family Circle London--(CP--More than 100,000 children, many the victims of "gross neglect or cruelty," came under the notice of Britain's National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Caildren last year, Reasons why parents so often be- have abominably to their children are discussed in the report of a Society inspector dealing with a single London borough covering a period of one year. Of 188 cases, involving the wel fare of 407 children and 283 offend- ers--men and women--105 were of neglect, 34 of ill-treatment, one of assault, two of moral danger. Forty- six other cases investigated by the Society did not call for action. The majority. of the fathers dealt with by the Society, says the report, "are ordinary men reacting to ab- normal social and economic condi= tions." Typical examples: 1. A man who had served four years in the army, won the Military Medal and earned an honorable dis- charge, returned home to find his wife had had a fourth child--not his own. Towards his own three children he remained kind and affectionate, but the new baby "offended in every way" and was punished with savage blows wlhenever it cried. Hated Fourth Child "It is said that we hate those whom we have wronged," the ine spector said, "and this man une doubtedly hated the fourth child." 2. An ex-R.AF. man, returning to his wife and four children, had to adapt himself to a two-roomed house with no privacy. At first he struggled with the situation by hanging up blankets to divide the family bedroom into cubicles. As weeks went by and no better acccmmodation could be found, he saw his wife losing heart. She be- came slatternly and short-tempered. Dirt and the noise of quarrelling children made conditions worse. One day tried beyond his patience, he struck his wife and beat up the children. . . "Thousands of cases like this are handled by the Society," the ine spector wrote. "The trouble in- variably is bad housing, Decently ioused, these families are quickly relieved of the strains and stresses that jeopgrdize their finer feelings, and normal family life is restored. "Women who let taeir homes go to pieces are often helped by the knowledge that their problems and difficulties are of interest to people outside the family circle , . . A little sympathy, a little firmness, a little sound advice are often all that is needed. ® DRINK MAK S TIMES A OAV... all 0CLOCK 'It helps retain "early morning" pop . 1) Vv a LUNCH It's nourishing, easy to digest...
