Nancy Murrall MacKay Writes Of English By SOPHIE BROWNLEE Nancy Murral Mackay, the only woman to go from Oshawa to the Olympics as one of the Canadian representatives, sent us a brief air- mail letter this week, We felt that the women of Oshawa would be in- terested in a woman's viewpoint of England and the Olympics and we hope to hear more from Mrs. Mac- kay on her return. Although an athlete all her life, having done a great deal of swim- ming before she switched to sprint- ing, Mrs. Mackay is as feminine as any .of the stay-at-homes and homemakers, One day we met on the bus on the way to Toronto, and while we questioned Mrs. Mackay a little bit about the Olympics and her part in them and her interest in running, our conversation con- sisted for the most part of clothes Clothes and Food and how best to preserve straw- berry jam. Her clothes are tailored but fem- inine, although her formal gowns are more fussy and in excellent taste. She wears sophisticated black well, and 'has a knack of placing a couple of feathers in her hair to make a hat . .. a cute one, too. The following are a few excerpts from Mrs. Mackay's letter: Southland's College, Wimbledon, England. Sorry I haven't written sooner but all we seem to be doing is rush- ing around. We are staying at Southland's College, Wimbledon, Just outside of London. It is really a beautiful spot. The grounds are something like you see on a post- card . beautiful rcse gardens, holly trees and perfect hedges. We have such strict training that we haven't seen very much. We leave for training at 8 o'clock in the morning and we don't get back until 12 noon. After dinner we have to rest and usually we have some (training) lined up to do after- wards. This afternoon we all attended tea at Canada House, London. Really very swanky! As for the wo- man's side of it, the dress is very poor. There are some very smart styles in the store windows but you don't see them on the street. The people haven't the coupons and besides they (the dresses) are very expensive. The food situation here 18 very grim! Eespicially for people like us who are used to everything. Every time you turn around you are hav- ing fish. We received our Canadian food out of Customs .today, so things should be perking up. By the way I've lost 5 pounds, I haven't figur- ed out if it is the food or all the hard work, and rushing around we are doing. I must mention that I wasn't seasick. I thought one day that I was going to be but I walked it off. The trip over was beautiful. It took six days and the sun shone every day but one. The weather here is very warm. I think we breught it with us. The English people aren't used to it. They think it is very much out of the ordin- ary. Hope it stays this way for the Games. I will be. in to see you, Sophie, when I get home. So long for now. Nancy. Camp Director Shows C.G.L.T.

There were present about 45- of the family, who presented her with a large easy chair and cushion. She was also the recipient throughout the day of many cards and bouquets of flowers. The birthday table was decorated with vases of varicolored gladioli and the large birthday cake was placed in the centre. On the cake were the words. "Birthday Greet- ings to Mother on her 90th birth- day". A toast was proposed to the guest of honor by her youngest daughter, Mrs. William Hart, of Hamilton recently arrived from England and who hasn't seen seen her mother for 17 years. Mrs. Sargant, who on the Satur- day before had attended the wed- ding of a grandson, Mr. Douglas Langley and Miss Helen Cameron, carried the bouquet presented to her by the bride after the ceremony. Martha Bradshaw was born on August 1, 1858, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Bradshaw of Shoreditch, London, England. She was married to Mr. Daniel Sar- gant in October of 1881 but has been a widow for 43 years. Thirty-six years ago, Mrs. Sar- gant, then a widow, came to Canada with her family of eight. There seemed to be more oppor- tunity in the new land for young people and her sons wished to come but were unwilling to leave her and their sisters behind. She and Pree family have lived in Oshawa Si most of them live on Nassau Street and that district. Her sons are: Mr. W, L. Sargant, a well-known coal and wood dealer in Oshawa; Mr. S. A.

Mrs. Sargant has three sisters still living: Mrs. James Austin (Eliza), 96, and Mrs. Thomas Mitch- ell, (Mary), 80, both in England, and Mrs. Harry Holmes (Lucy), 82, of Galt, Ontario. This mnonagenarian is in fairly good health. Although her eyes are beginning to fail her, her hearing is still excellent. She lives with her daughter, Mrs. Watson, and helps around the house, drying dishes or tidying up a bit. She likes to sit and crochet 4nd make mats, but her whole interest and life revolves around her family and their families.

'She was a member of Centre Street United Church for many years, but hasn't been able to attend for some time, now. Mrs. Sargant believes that every- thing should he done in moderation but she definitely disapproves of smoking, especially for women. "Plenty of hard work and little worry", is Mrs. Sargant's recipe for a long and happy life. This is the philosophy which she followed when after the death of her hus- band she found herself with a large family to rear and educate.

Camp Pretoria Embraces Girls of All Denominations | By SOPHIE BROWNLEE Monday night is "open house" at Camp Pretoria and everyone who is interested in C.G.I.T. activities is invited to come any time after tea, this evening. Camp Pretoria is a very fine girls' camp of which little is known and it has been in opera- tion all summer and each summer for the past three years. This Canadian Girls in Traning Camp is situated just east of Columbus. The leaders and directors, of which Mrs. L. W. Currell is one of the most keenly interested, do an outstanding job of giving each group of girls, not only a week of fun and of holiday, but also of in- struction in many useful fields. The camp is for girls of any de- | nomination, whether they belong to the C.G.I.T. or not. It can ac- commodate 50 of these girls, but for some reason or other the groups have averaged only 17 or 18. Each group stays for a period of between eight and ten days with one day between groups for cleaning and readjusting. The girls range in age between seven and 15 years in- clusive. These are divided into age groups, so that girls of an age are at the camp at the same time. During this past week it has been the turn of the Explorers or girls up to 12 years of age. Camp Pre- toria is the only camp in Ontario, with the exception of expensive, private camps, which sponsor such young girls. On opening day, the occupants of each cabin, of which there are five, contribute to a program and the song director leads in a sing-song, around a blazing campfire, while marshmallows and Wwieners are toasted. Closing day is also 'open house" day, when parents and friends drop in to see what has been done and learned by the young campers. A program is arranged then, also, and usually a candle- lighting ceremony presented in the | twilight of the evening hours, when | the candles glow in the darkness. These are carried down the hill and then floated down the stream, and their light sheds a faint shadow across the water, until they are out of sight. On opening 'day, one girl is chos- en from each cabin by her col- leagues and from these five, is chosen the Chief Camper for the period of camp. . All is not given over to fun "cook- ed" up by the young campers them- selves, however. A planned pro- gram of swimming, crafts, Bible study, and music is followed, and while it is all done in a spirit of fun and frolic, the girls, never- theless, come away with a great deal of valuable, newly-acquired, knowledge ,which will stand them in good stead in the coming years. Among those who have helped, voluntarily, this summer are: For the first ten days, (July 3 to 13); for girls of 15 and over, music--Miss Duaine Peacock, Osh- awa; .world friendship leader Miss Gwen Suttie, Japan; swim- ming instructress--Mrs. May Hola- er, Oshawa, who also acted as nurse for this period; Bible study and crafts--Mrs. George Sanders and Mrs. "Bud" Manning.

Ann Pat- terson, Brooklin; discovery group (Bible study) leader--Mrs. Clayton Lee, Miss Pat Butler, Miss Betty Carkeek, and Mrs. Albert Elcock, all of Oshawa.

In the first camp was Miss Norma | | Heakes, Toronto, while Miss Muriel | Odgen of Toronto supervised the | second camp. In the third camp as director was Miss Frances Ward, | | Toronto, and Miss Frances Clarke of | | Toronto is camp director for the | | Explorers' camp. Mrs. Lewis Hart, | | assisted by Miss Doreen Dervant, ministered to the inner man during | the term of the four camps, with | three hearty meals and a bedtime snack each day. In speaking with Mrs. Currell, we | were informed that while the camp | this summer were small, they had | | been "good" camps, with leaders | and girls getting closer to one an- | other. We had a chat also with | Mrs. Owens, one of the swimming | instructresses; who spent a week of | | precious holiday time teaching | | the girls to swim. Mrs. Owens has | | her bronze med# for swimming and | | life-saving. She is most enthus- | iastic about the keen interest that | | the girls took in swimming and the short time they required to! learn to swim. She is also much interested in the camp and the | activities and opportunities it offers | to all the girls in Ontario. that Mrs. Owens only echoed the enthusiasms and thoughts of all the camp leaders. On the financial side of the story is: $2.00 for registration fee and | $1.00 a day for board. The only | paid staff are the cooks and the | camp directors.
