WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Fashion Flashes THE INSIDE STORY of this year's all-around coat is the fur lining, Caramel brown cashmere lined with bleached muskrat tells the story of a handsome coat, full- length, with collar, notched revers and deep turn-back cuffs of the fur. * +» CUTE TRICKS, those blouses and skirts that are favored by teen- agers, Royal blue felt, cut in a full circle with an oversize patch poc- ket, makes a nice skirt that is teamed up with a red-striped blue calico blouse with ruffling simulat- ing an apron yoke, and edging the cuffs. * & * IN KEEPING with the propen- sity for things Victoriah and Ed- wardian, we have with us again the feather fan. Uncurled ostrich, in six cascading feathers mounted on mock shell or mother-of-pearl and offered in beautiful pastels as well as black and white, is a big seller for formal evens wear, + SOMETHING NEW and some- thing quite expensive, too, but very handsome, is a 16-button mousque- taire glove treated all over to a Plating of 24-carat gold. The effect one of solid gold but the leather Tetains its pliability and soft handl- ing. * + FLATTERY is what a hat ought to bestow and it does a good job in a softly rippled bonnet of soft, grayed verge with a faint overcast of pink, heaped with tiny curled ostrich, tips in pale to deep pink with tiny gray velvet bows inter- J spersed, * + + AUTUMN SHADES include some interesting tones such as black iris which is a deep almost off-black plum. Lovely in a goat of fine, soft tweed, loose hanging, and worn with a stole-like hood in pale pink with self fringe. ' * Bb »° COMING ALONG with the beret is the close.fitting turban. Pale blue or pale pink felt is used for a slanted turban fashioned of a ser- ies of overlapping 'oops that re- semble a soft, petal arrangement. Hat is misted with very sheer lace veiling. * oF * ICING in the form of fur trim- ming on fur adds beauty to new fur fashions, Black Persian lamb makes a handsome coat which has a five- flare back worked into a molded effect, An ascot scarf of white mink is detachable, can be worn in sev- eral ways.as a collar and also as a belt, *> + LUXURIOUS and beautiful is an afternoon coat of pale beige velours cut on wrappy lines with a hip band and bracelet sleeve borders of nu- tria, * + + BIG SUCCESS with the college set is a beautiful gray flannel out- fit. It consists of an all-around pleated skirt that is a trifle shorter than we've had of late, and a matching waistcoat, all-over quflt- 'éd fastened with rhinestone but- tons and having a deep scooped neckline. With it a long-sleeved classic shirt blouse of white crepe, with bow Tievkiine. + BEST BET for doing over a fur coat or jacket that still contains some good skins, is to transform the garment into a stole--with a muff, if there is enough fur. Smart wear with the wool or velvet coat- frocks so popular for fall and early winter wear, or with a suit. + * SHADES OF AUTUMN in fine tweeds are highlighted this season. Rust and green checked tweed makes ag handsome suit" with loose boxy jacket and a square-necked weskit. Slit pockets either side of the front panel of the slim skirt. With it a rust Jersey blouse. LJ PRETTY PIECES mark new cos- tume jewelry offerings. Pins and clips of tiny pearls and rhinestones set in silver and framed in delicate gilt metal filagree offer endless ) possibilities' for dressing up frocks and suits, * * Bp LOOKING AROUND brings' forth interesting new handbag touches. For instance, a small black satin envelope made with an expanding handle has a tiny jeweled gold metal to make a dress-up affair. But the crown and binding may be slipped off, leaving a plain satin bandbag for genetal afternoon wear. * GRAY DAYS boome cheerful when all the colored rainwear starts blooming. Gold, red, black and white plaided rayon and worst- ed gabardine is used for a hand- some raincoat with accents of black on the Cavalier cuffs and on the feed-bag pockets. BIG BUSINESS getter in the fur world this year is sheared racoon, which, when well dyed, looks like nutria, but is in the inexpensive bracket, as fur prices go. It is used for a nice three-quarter length coat which has a rounded shawl collar, narrow shoulders and sleeve width that is modified into a neat cuff. Back is very full, - and there are slit pockets. > SWEDISH RELICS Stockholm -- (CP) -- A Ro- manesque crypt was discovered be- neath the floor of the ancient Cathedral of Skara. It was un- covered during extensive archae- ological excavations -- which also revealed a number of sandstone sculptures from the 14th century. 1920} TIPS FOR TEENS When Mother andDad Say 'No' By ELINOR WILLIAMS No dates in your life--not enough fun to brighten the day-after-day routine of school work? That's the sad plight of this high school girl; perhaps it's your problem, too: "I am a girl of 15. My mother and father are rather old-fashioned and do not believe in dates until I am 18 or 19. My parents don't seem to know that I would like to go out once a week like my girl friends do I have tried every way to get my parents to permit me to have dates, cleaning the house on Saturdays, helping my mother when I come home from school and getting good grades so that I might be able to go to college after finishing high school. "Now I can't even go to a club I belong to because my parentsgsay I go there too often--only once a month. This club is giving a barn dance soon and I want to go very much, but my mother says I can- not go with a bey or with a group and that I must go with my parents. Everybody I know is going in couples or groups. I want to go and have fun for once." 4 More parents agree on 15 for movie dates and realize that when a girl is old enough to attend high school, she is old enough to attend club affairs and aances if she comes home at the apnointed time. School activities are almost as important as studies, for they help teach sportsmanship, leadership and poise. They teach boys and girls q0w to get along together and take part in community life. This helps to give them a normal, well- rounded personality and make them good citizens. Try to explain this to your parents. h Try this, too. When chatting' with your mother! each day, tell her what other girls and poys are doing--how Joan and Betty .re going to a play or dance or cluo meeting with Jack and Don. Or tell her how that nice Bill Smith walked home with your friend Mary. Do this casually with- out mentioning your problems. In- vite your friends to your house, too. When she sees that they are nice and well-behaved, perhaps she'll be more likely to let you have a normal social life wtih them.

Women in Red Cross Workrooms Urged to Increase Their Efforts Winnipeg, Oct. 27.--Through the efforts of Canadian women in Red Cross workrooms from coast to coast, 1675 cases of clothing were shipped to needy persons overseas during the first seven months of the current year, it was reported today by Miss Orian Warwick, To- ronto, National Chairman of the Red Cross Women's Work Commit- tee. Miss Warwick is one of more than 70 delegates in Winnipeg to attend the two-day semi-annual meeting of the Society's Central Council which closes this evening at the Royal Alexandra Hotel, Miss Warwick urged the con- tinuance of this work and called for increased efforts on behalf of provincial women's work commit- tees so that the volume of relief could be kept as high as posible this winter. Each province has chosen the destination of its out- put, she said, but has experienced willingness to divert goods in re- sponse to any special appeal. Dr, Frederick F. Tisdall, chair- man of the national nutrition com- mittee, told of the expanding home- making service which was pioneer- ed last year by Toronto branch nu- trition committee. 'Complete home- making courses are offered to wom- en in need of such instruction -- including cooking, sewing, house- keeping and related subjects -- so that famflies with small children and low incomes can make the most of budgets for increased health and well-being. This fall 259 women have enrolled for these classes, Dr. Tisdall said. Chairman of the Ndtional Corps Committee, Mrs. Frank O. Evans of Montreal, reported on the increas- ing strength of the Canadian Red Cross Corps composed of uniform- ed young women who do a variety of valuable services on a volunteer basis. Mrs. Evans remarked par- ticularly on the work of 147 Corps members during the British Colum- bia flood disaster, whose efforts amounted to 35,860 hours. Corps members of Alberta, Ontario and Quebec have also called upon for disaster assistance during the cur- rent year, Mrs. Evans said. The first year of progress for the Metropolitan School of Nursing in Windsor, Ontario, was outlined by Miss E. K. Russell, Chairman of the National Nursing Committee. The school, which operated separ- ate from the hospital but in co- operation with it, is an important experiment in nurse training and is being financed during its pion- eer period by the Canadian Red Cross. Miss Russell told of the re- spect which the school has already won among civic and hospital authorities in Windsor who are erecting now a new school build- ing. Still in its infancy, the school has admitted 22 students represent- ing five provinces this term, al- most twice as many as last year, and received 88 applications. Fertile Valley Flood Injuries Slowly Healing Vancouver -- (CP) -- The Fraser Valley flood is gone but not for- gotten. The $30,000,000-wound 'in the breast of the fertile valley is slowly healing but the scar will remain for years. Quickly - mobilized rehabilitation machinery has put hay back in the barns, rebuilt. houses, repaired bridges, tracks and highways, and moved most of the river's 1,900 victimized families back into at least a semblance of their former surroundings. Red Cross, volunteer and govern- ment financial assistance has to a large extent deadened the sense of loss of those who saw their life work swept away by the deluge. Some farms still are deserted, their soil covered inches deep in ugly silt that won't even grow weeds. Their owners absent, they have been by-passed in favor of work on farms where rehabilitation is urgent to the livelihood of the occupants. Crops in replanted areas exceeded expectations, with surprising quan- tities of late-sown oats, corn and peas flowing into silos for the win- ter. Some dairymen have reduced their herds, but others, through emergency feed deliveries, have ex- panded. Chief concern now is for next year. Despite the progress of the dyk- ing program, fear and respect for the Frasgr is no secret among farm- ers. The tell-tale high-water mark on house and barn, tree and post, is a constant reminder that their homes rim the skirts of a monstrous danger. The river still gnaws at fine farmland around Agassiz, 65 miles east of here. Writhing closer and closer to the river road, where Matsqui and Langley run border to border, it is tearing out great chunks of foreshore. Fishermen and farmers who live between protected dykes and the water's edge see their foreshore sliding away day by day, and new bars forming to thrust the river with increasing force against dis- solving banks. Their need is for new dykes, not cirengthening of old ones, for the ramparts lie behind them as they face the river. In Kent municipality, which em- braces Agassiz, this exposed strip has 45 farms totalling 2,700 acres. Residents are awaiting word from the federal government on a request for the dredging of a channel through the accumulating sandbars. They believe such a channel will be kept clean by the river, leading off most of the pressure. If not, their municipality will be split by a dyke which protects only parts of it Despite these problems and the constant worry about next spring's run-off, the valley people are cheer- ful. They face the work of building up their ravaged holdings with high courage. Campaigning Costs Skyrocket In U.S. New York -- (CP) -- The cost of campaigning in the United States has skyrocketed since the republic's jutaney. like 'that of every-day liv- g. Thomas Jefferson is said to have spent only $5 on his campaign for the presidency in i800. In 1860 the Republicans spent an estimated $100,000 to elect Abraham Lincoln. Political experts reckon this year's eampaign with cost the political parties between $20,000,000 and $25,000,000. VETS ARE SCIENTIST We have long since honored the advances of human medicine. We have been slow to recognize the strides of animal medicine, In certain fields--especially in breed- ing and disease, the Vet has moved very swiftly indeed, A graduate of the Ontario Veterinary College today emerges a scientisy The course now extends over HMve long years of study just as tough and exacting as any school of higher learning, To get into this school, the student must have Senior Ma- triculation, a Doctor's certificate, Lcertificate of character, four months real farm experience and even then he must appear before Provincial Examining Boards and be ques- tioned about his sincerity and his fitness for the Profession. The old idea of the horse doctor is as dead as the quack blood-letter in human medicine. fast you get double col AY ek wil Vi es, 10) nto gondensed mushroom snp and. served ~ 1 eonaving and delicious hoch CET FAST RELIEF WITH Relieve that cold fast with Grove's Cold Tablets . . . a remedy that con- tains not one but seven special ingredi- t ents, fast-a ts figh soldy and help relieve fever, headaches, conges! muscular pains. your druggist today for Grove's Cold Tablets.

Hallowe'en-- the night of frolic and fun, Men- tion it to Dad and he will reminisce for hours telling of his pranks in bygone days. (It took several neighbours to get the buggy off the shed roof and the big gate out of the tree). Junior will be on the loose too if you don't plan some- thing for his crowd, and remember he is just a chip off the old block. It would be much cheaper to rollick indoors than to pay for damage downtown: It's best to prepare favorite inex- pensive 'casual dishes which the young crowd enjoys. Hamburgers, weiners and rolls, coleslaw in or- ange shells, baked beans in custard cups, pickles, gingerbread or dough- nuts and malted milk shakes, or sweet apple cider, are good sug- gestions. If it's a buffet supper for teen. agers, a hot casserole of creamed chicken or salmon, a Hallowe'en salad, relish tray of carrot curls, celery, pickles, pumpkin tarts and hot coffee will set everybody sing- ing your praises. A pumpkin Jack O'Lantern with lighted candles within and a frill of black crepe paper as a dolly makes an easy centre. Or you may create a harvest scene on the buffet if you have an assortment of squash, gourds, egg plant, apples and autumn. leaves. The old favorite pastime nf bob- bing for apples in a tub of water or trying to bite an elusive one swinging in a doorway, is a good game. Toast marshmallows or pop- corn while the charades are in pro- gress. HALLOWE'EN FRUIT CUP Cut the top of orange like pump- kin shell in picket fashion; remove the pulp and cut into small pieces, reserving the juice. Combine of- ange with diced bananas, pieces of melon and sprinkle with fine sugar. Pile into orange shells and top with whipped cream. SPICED CIDER Stir 4 tbsps. brown 'sugar, 6 cloves, stick of cinnamon and 3 all- spice into two quarts of sweet cider. Heat, then cool immediateiy and srtain out the spice. Serve with warmed doughnuts. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. J. C. says: Wax is loose around jars. What has caused this to happen? Answer: Jam may have been stored in warm place. Or the jam jars may have been too hot when wax was put on. You may scrape off the surface; put on more melted paraffin and store in a cool place. Mrs. T. B. asks: CHICKEN BARBECUE SAUCE 2 green peppers, 1 Tred pepper, 4 small onions, 1 clove garlic, 1.4 cup salad oil, 4 cups tomatoes, 1 can tomato paste, 1 tsp. salt, 1-4 tsp. pepper, '1 tsp. paprika, 1-8 tsp. marjoram, 1-8 tsp. celery salt. Trim the pepper, . onions and garlic. Chop fine. Heat salad oil and cook in it the peppers, onions, and garlic until brown; then add remaining ingredients, Cook abou} 30 mins. Mrs. J. T. asks: Why do baked apples burst? Answer: The oven should not be too hot--350 degrees for about 35 minutes. Variety makes a differ- ence too. Use spies, kings, green- ings and wolfe. Mrs. B. K. suggests: baking our gingerbread recipe in muffin - tins to conserve electricity. Instead of 45 minutes at 375 degrees, bake 25 minutes at 375 degrees. Mrs. T. L. asks: How to keep meringues light? Answer: Beat 2 egg whites until frothy; add 1-2 tsp. cream of tertar and beat until whites stand up in a point as you lift out the beater. Gradually fold and sprinkle in two thsps, of fine sugar. LR 2 Anne Allan invites you to write to her care of this paper.
