British Women Greet New Year With Plunge For Sales Bargains By MURIEL NARRAWAY Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP)--After the big- gest Christmas boom since 1939, British women greeted the new year with a headlong plunge for the annua] sales bargains. Prices ranged from luxuries such as a ranch mink cape-stole selling at £425, almost half price, to can- vas holiday shoes originally priced at 55 shillings, going at 5s. There were suede at £1 instead of £6, model coats and dresses cut in price by almost one third, A welcome increase was noted in bargain furniture and furnish- ings. With furniture released from government price-control late in 1952, shops were more daring In e lines than for many years. Tt was possible, for instance, to buy a three-piece suite at less than £80, reduced from £180. Ax- minster and Wilton carpet - rem- nants tempted buyers at less than half price. Interest also was keen in china- ware sales. In 1952 patterned china was once more sold on the home market, which had for years seen only "export rejects." Women jostled and pushed to get one of the 500 tea sets offered at 5s each in one department store. A 45-piece combined dinner and tea set was reduced from just under 90s. to 69s 6d. Despite wet weather queues out- side most big West End stores started wel] before daylight. Last year's big price-cuts in clothing, due to a textile slump late in 1951, were partly responsible for in- creased interest in this year's sales. Find Old Recipe - For Buffalo Tongue In Ruins of Fort Buffalo tongue is a rare dish these days. But, according to an old state- ment donated recently tothe York- ton museum, a pioneer merchant of Touchwood, Sask. had an even 1500 buffalo tongues on hand in And not only will you fail to find any buffalo around Touch- wood today, you would have diffi- culty finding anyone to direct you to the merchant's old trading post. Like the buffalo, the Touchwood Hills trading post, which became 'one of the most important centres in" early Saskatchewan, has dis- appeared. About 50 yards from Highway No, 15 between Lestock and. Pun- nichy, the last vestiges of the old post, part of a roof and a chimney, finally collapsed four years ago. The merchant's statement in- cluding mention of the buffalo tongues was obtained by Sheriff Dave Williams of Yorkton from a friend who picked it and other pioneer papers up at old Fort Pelly when the fort was being torn down. The paper was a statement of provisions at Touchwood Hills, | March 24, 1855. ) Competition was keen. Sales picked up during the year and less garments reached the bargain counters, However, those with the stamina to stand for hours in rain and cold picked up coats and dres- | ses at £1 and less. MEN IN LUCK Men were not left out. Cut-price articles included poplin pyjamas in quiet stripes reduced to 25s. from £3. There were white jacquard silk 'scarves, 54 inches by 12 inches, going at 30s. pure silk ties, cash- mere socks, shoes, overcoats and suits, Business was brisk at counters sporting underwear at half price, tweed trousers at less than 17s, shirts cut from 29s. to 14s. Cut-price bed and household lin- en, curtain materials and kitchen ware drew larger-than-usual crowds of young marrieds and en- gaged couples, LODGES AND SOCIETIES L.A.P.M.

Prize-Winning Documentary Film Much Enjoyed by A stirring film of life in sea- girt Newfoundland, in all iis vivid natural color was presented to the Lyceum Club and Women's Art Association yesterday after- noon. Named Film of the Year by the Canadian Film Awards "New- foundland Scene" was screened at the Edinburgh Festival last year) and won acclaim from internation- al critics. During its 40 minutes running the film depicts the hard life of the natives of Great Britain's first colony for which its discoverer, John Cabot received the sum: .of ten pounds. The film is stirring in its realism and is strengthened by the background music especially written by William McCauley. Seal hunting in the icy wastes and whale hunting in the turbulent ocean are portrayed with great photographic skill, and the might of mountain and main supply grandeur to the humble villages clustered in the harbors and val- leys. The rugged character of the island is reflected in the deter-| mined faces of the men who hunt, fish and ply, the waters, and those whose job it has been for hundreds of years to keep the lamps burn- nig "for those in peril on the sea." This prize winning film was sponsored by a leading oil comp- any whose graphic art editor, Mr. G. M. Moses addressed the meet- ing before showing the film. Taking as his theme Industry's Responsibility to Culture Mr. Mos- es revealed the tremendous stim- ulation being given to the arts by large industrial corporations, and the space given by city editors to events in the world of art. "Signs are all around us, 'he said,' that culture is not going to lag very far behind the great industrial development of Canada. Industry has moulded our society. Is it not therefore logical that business and art should get toge- ther? That industry should assume some responsibility for culture?
