Visible From Four Points of Compass Paris Monument is Visible from the four points of the compass, looking out over Paris in solemn splendor, the Arc de Triomphe stands impassive in all weather, at all seasons of the year, notes Suzanne Nermand of the French Information Service, Ottawa. In blazing sun or under storm clouds, if the fresh morning | air 'or twilight haze, it crowns the horizon with unchanging dignity, and at every hour of the day or night it enchants its carved stone figures into a mysterious life of their own. It is greatly admired, people stop to gaze at it and even brave the incessant turning circus of cars swirling at its feet to eross and spend a moment of medita- tion on the| stone that seals the grave of e Unknown Warrior before the" flame that the wind flattens in its socket but never extinguishes. And sometimes peo- ple take the lift up to the top platform to look in, wonder at Paris spread out below them.

Symbol of Freedom its past. And such a past! Let us go back just as far as the 17th century when a little village called Chaillot, surrounded by fields and modest vineyards, occupied the top of a rise, called even then, not without some exaggeration, the hill, or even the mountain of Chail- ot. Prosaic market gardens then covered the slope that goes down towards the Tuileries until, in 1667, the famous planner of royal landscape gardens, Le Notre, de- cided to lay out a new high road there, bordered with elms -- the Grand Cours--that was to extend | the noble perspective of the Tuil- leries. But it was not till 40 years later that the name Champs-Ely- sees was to be given to this place, then some distance from the town and lated by n con- sent. <Q The years pass, the Grand Cours is continued as far as Chaillot. Later again, in 1772, it was to go farther down the slope on the other side of the bridge at Neuilly. A most magnificent thoroughfare; but even then it still remains out- side Paris, bordered by fields and gardens. These, think the city fa- thers, we could raise something in stone, some monument standing on the brow of the rise to catch the eye from all sides. But before embarking upon the project we must flatten out the top of this somewhat '"'abrupt" little hill--the words of the architect Soufflot. So they flattened it out, cutting down its height by 16 metres; and then they left the little hill high and dry, undaunted and unused. PROJECT PLANNED Then comes the Revolution, and it passes, and the Directory and the Copsulate. In 1806 Napoleon, as Emperor, plans to raise a gigantic monument to the memory of the soldiers of the "Great Army". Perhaps Chaillot will be the chosen site? But the Emperor has no such thoughts; he prefers the Bas- tille in the heart of Paris, with all its associations of liberty. Happily this is a plan which does not please the Ministry of Internal Affairs. And only then, after hav- ing considered every other district in Paris, does a somewhat dubi- ous Commission propose the flat- topped hill of Chaillot. The Em- peror shakes his head and, as he must, puts forward his objections. What are the objections? First, to perpetuate the great exploits of the "Great Army" he cannot choose some "uninhabited suburb'. And the answer is, of course, that this '"'unhabited suburb', graced by a noble structure, would cease to be uninhabited. Given rein, the Emperor's imagination already sees there an imperial city 'with palaces befitting a dozen kings and all their retinues". Here, then, is agreement in principle, at least as far as the site is concerned; but what form is the monument itself to take? Triumphal Arch or Elephant? The It would symbolize the Egyptian campaign and in its monumental flanks constructed to house a museum there would be halls de- voted to other trophies of war. It. was practically settled that the extravagant elephant should be chosen; but when it eventually was, it was installed in the Pla de la Bastille (since then it h vanished). We have left in 'Les iserables", the description that ictor Hugo gives when he decided to hide Gavroche in the half - con- structed skeleton of tris monstrous piece of architecture. For years, Parisians had been making little pilgrimages to the Arc de Triomphe when, under the Second Empire, Baron H an pop that tireless town planner, laid out | the Place de I'Etoile with its 12 | radiating avenues. Since that time | the Arc de Triomphe has been a | witness of all the great moments Efforts of Teacher Are Helping Blind, Deat Girl EDMONTON (CP)--After spend- ing the first 10 years of her life in darkness and silence, Marjorie Golinsky is making the first steps towards communicating with the world around her. Her progress has been made largely through the efforts of Miss uise Fearon, teacher at a Halifax School for the Deaf and the Blind. Miss Fearon accompanied the young girl here from Halifax after a nine-month eourse at the special school. Marjorie will return east for further instruction in Septem- T. Marjorie was born with her af- fliction, and until she came under given her a limited vocabulary and S| is described as having "a chance to overcome the severe handicap." Marjorie is not totally blind-- she is able to see only shadows of objects--but she cannot be edu- cated by conventional methods. Miss Fearon said she used the manual alphabet touch system to communicate with the child. By placing her fingers in different positions in the child's hand, the teacher was able to teach Marjorie some of the alphabet. Marjorie now knows about 200 nouns, can follow certain directions such "as 'sit down," and "close the door' and has even learned the first part of a prayer. By acquainting herself With vi- brations in the teacher's nose while Miss Fearon talks, the child has learned to duplicate them, thus learning to utter several words. Miss Fearon said the girl shows signs of having a superior intel- ligence, but an exact determination will not be possible until she can be taught things of an abstract nat- ure. Just recently the child has started to learn numbers, a feat difficult. because of its abstract nature. While she remains at home until | her next session at the Halifax school, Marjorie will be able to | communicate with her mother | through the touch system, taught Mrs. Golinsky by Miss Fearon. Wide Necklines, Slender Skirts, Predicted for Fall Wide necklines and slender skirts are among the new Paris fashion trends, reports fashion editor Eliz- abeth Madeira, in the August Wom- an's Home Companion. Mrs. Madeira, who recently cov- ered the midseason Paris showings, says the look of width at the shoulders is always soft, achieved by a wide neckline, drapery, the cut of the shoulders, bolero. It is often combined with the waistline is normal, the line just above it close and neat. Many skirts have kick pleats, wrapped treatments or other devices to allow for easy walking. The Companion fashion pages give a picture preview of many of the latest trends. Shown is a pale blue wool coat by Jacques Fath neatly cut under the arms to suggest a high waist, with a wide neckline filled in with nutria Ascot. A red wool suit, also by Fath, has a jacket, again cut close under the arms, with a standing collar 'at the wide neckline. A Paquin red bolero, standing out square above a slim waist illus- trates the feeling for bulk at the top. : Rew sweaters for day and even- ing reflect the wide-necked, shoul- a wide-necked, striped jacket over Other fashion predictions for fall: First fall hats will be small, pull-on and comfortable, new bags will be supple and roomy, neat in outline. Shoes will have a more closed look, especially at the sides. Color Scheme Can Work Magic In Small Rooms You can play fairy godmother to any ordinary room, says Elizabeth Matthews, home decoration editor of Woman's Home Companion, if color is shrewdly used and the right accessories are chosen to set it off smartly. For instance, you can make a too-small room look larger by ap- plying the magic of color -- one soft background shade for all the walls and woodwork; the same shade for rug, curtains and uphol- stered furniture. The varied tex- tures prevent monotony. Then, against this spacious-looking back- drop, use important lamps, unus- ual accessories and dashes of col- or to give a special style and character to a room. Pictures, particularly, room warmith and personality, says Miss Matthews. She suggests you a princess line or suggestion of | a high-waisted look. But usually | der-to-shoulder slashed look.

Or use the attachments with your regular vacuum. Give white sidewall tires a bea treatment by scouring with soap- filled steel wool pads. Or use a non-abggsive scouring powder and a damp cloth. Rinse with clear water. A cleaner-polish preparation will take off road film, stains and oxi- dized paint not removed by wash- ing. It cleans and polishes. Liquid car wax does a profes- sional-looking job in short order. Always apply it to a clean surface. use chrome cleaner to keep chrome shiny. Clean windows, inside and out, with liquid glass cleaner and spray attachment.- Keep a bottle handy in the car. Rubber strips under the door and floor mats can be kept like new hang them low enough so every- one can see them easily. with a coat of self-polishing wax. Can be used on tires too.

CHILD GUIDANCE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Saturday, July 18, 1953 ¥ \ Parents Given Advice Regarding The Child Who "Talks Back" By G. CLEVELAND MYERS In this column, I have said that the best way to deal with the child who talks back to his father or mother is for the parent to cease talking back to him. Some recent letters and obser- vations, howeyer, have led me to revise or explain this advice. I had had in mind the child who argues with the parent when denied some cherished privilege, or commanded to do something he doesn't want to do, or even when his opinions conflict with the parents' on other matters. In such an instance, the child may always try to have the last word, no matter how reason- able the parents' explanation. MAINTAIN SILENCE The main point I wish to make in this case is that the parent, after stating without heat, in the fewest possible words, the essen- tial facts and reasons, should say no more, but let the child go on talking as long as he likes, pro- vided, of course, the child was not abusive. Frequently I learn of the poorly disciplined tot from three to five who, on being verbally restrained or exhorted, will shout to his mother, "shut up." Unless this child has heard the like from a parent, he should, after one warn- ing, be effectively punished for this utterance--by a quick sound spanking or having to sit un- amused for twenty minutes in a chair. Some young tots will shout "Shut up' or some other abusive remark to an adult who kindly acosts him on the street or else- where. This is an anti-social act which should be effectively for- bidden. Don't compare it in seri- ousness with the younger's failure to respond at all when addressed by another person. This is practic- ally never anit-social, but ex- presses excessive Shyness or fear. Indeed, calling any other person by an ugly name should be curbed in the preschool years. It is basic- ally as anti-social as throwing stones at him, or attacking him with weapons. While we also should discourage name-calling in the child over five or six, the problem is not as easily controlled, since the child is so often out of the presence of the parent and in contact with other children of wider areas. Anyway, name-calling at eight, twelve or fourteen, may often be a kind of banter or common expression of the group. Perhaps we should take more account of the attitude with which the name is used--whether as a form of slang or medium of angry attack. If we parents avoid abusive and contemptuous language ourselves, and cultivate lots of good fun and companionship with our children we may, with a quiet persuasive word now and then, win them to choose to use such expressions rarely or almost never. Of course, there are some chil- dren who in rage curse their par- ents. That is no time for the parent to strike back with tongue or hand. A parent should wait silently for the time when he can talk calmly about this matter with the child, helping him see how ser- ious it is, hoping to win him to choose to avoid repetition of such. THE EXPERTS SAY Not Many Men Bother to Get Own Meals While Wite's Away By JOAN BARBERIS Canadian Press Staff Writer It's customary atgthis time of year to do a story on simple men husbands left in the city by welj-nourished, vaca- tioning wives. It is our hupible opinion that these "grass / widowers' merely take their petites to the best restaurants fin town and that's that. Informaion from a leading res- taurant chain in Toronto indicates that these men don't even bother to get their own breakfasts but wait until they get to town. CORN FRITTERS However, eating '"'out'" is an ex- pensive habit that the average bus- iness girl cannot afford, so we of- fer the following simple recipes for her benefit. : Corn fritters: one No. 2-size can corn; one well beaten egg; one cup flour; one-and-a-half teaspoons baking powder; one half teaspoon salt; one teaspoon sugar; milk. Sift flour, salt and baking powder together and add the corn finely chopped, the sugar and the egg well beaten. Add sufficient milk to make a good drop batter; fry in deep fat to a golden brown. The bakery Foods Foundation suggests a corned-beef sandwich "with a difference" for a quick and tasty lunch. Use ready - cooked, canned, corned-beef hash. Toast rounds of rye bread on one side only. Heap the corned beef hash on the un- toasted side of each round, sprinkle lightly with grated cheese and pop into a moderate oven for heating. Serve with tomato and spanish onion slices. CHANGE FROM SALADS Although salads and cold plates of one kind and another are ideal for hot weather, too many of them can be just as bad as too few. With this in mind, we offer "gardener's kebab' from our turk- ish cookbook. * Ingredients: two pounds of lamb; six tablespoons butter; two large carrots; four medium tomatoes (peeled) ¥ one pound pearl onion; one cup shelled green peas; salt; one pound red pepper (optional) and one teaspoon fresh dill. Cut meat into one half-inch cubes and brown in melted butter. Scrape and cut carrots into one quarter- inch slices and add to meat. Cover tightly and cook over low heat until meat is dry (about one hour). Then add peeled and seeded tomatoes, onion, peas, salt and ground red pepper if desired. Cover and cook for one-half hour, adding a little water when needed (up to one cup) to keep it from scorching. When meat is tender, add freshly chopped dill, stir and serve. Corn Flake Garnish For Tasty Desserts Here is as tasty a dessert as any gourmet could ask for. But the most notable part of it, is the Buttercrunch which is served Serve it once, you'll it often this summer. A creamy peach gelatine pudding is the perfect foil for the crunchy accompaniment, which is made by coating Corn Flakes with a sugar- butter mixture, then allowed to cool. The result, a crispy and sweet confection suitable to serve as an embellishment for ice cream, fruits and pudding-type desserts. PEACH BUTTERCRUNCH Peach Cream: 2 cups mashed canned 1 cup sugar 14 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin 1 cup canned peach syrup 1, cup whipping cream Butterscotch Crunch: 3 tablespoons butter or margar- ine 1% cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon flour serve # peaches 2 tablespoon water 2 cups corn flakes Heat peaches, sugar and salt. Soften gelatin in peach syrup and add to hot peaches, mixing well. Cool until slightly thickened. Fold in cream whipped until stiff. Pour into greased mold and chill until firm. Melt "butter or margarine in small saucepan. Add sugar mixed with flour and water. Stir until dissolved. Cook over low heat to 236 deg. F. (soft ball in cold water). Remove from heat, pour over Corn Flakes which have been spread in greased pan. Mix lightly to coat Corn Flakes and allow to cool. Serve around and over the top of peach mold. Yield: 6 average servings. DRAPES - CURTAINS. VENETIAN SHADES Made-to-Measure FREE ESTIMATES WARD'S CL N41, T1] Dial 5-1151 {ed right Summer Cabbage Can Be Served In Various Ways The crisp, chewy quality of cab- bage and the fresh green colour are two very good reasons for serving cabbage frequently. Speak- ing of serving cabbage, i' is wise to remember '~ at cabbag can come to the table either fresh or cooked, in a great vari .y of ways. Cab- bage is one vegetable though that is often poorly cooked and there is no reason why this should be because it is no harder to prepare and cook than any other vegetable. Here i~ how the home economists of the Consumer Section, Canada Department of Agriculture tell us to cook cabbage. Cook cabbage quickly in a covered saucepan in a small amount of boiling water. Sprinkle the cabbage with salt just before covering. Shredded cabbage wil! cook in about five minutes but larger pieces will take a little, longer. Add a generous dab of but- ter to the cooked, drained cabbage and perhaps a little vinegar too. The important thiag to watch is not to cook the cabbage too long. When it is properly cooked, it should be still slightly crisp and chewy. If it is limp, then it is cooked too much. CABBAGE SALAD The home economists of the Con- sumer Section, Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture have a cab- !bage salad recipe which they are | very fond of and which is a meal in itself for six people. CABBAGE SALAD 6 cups shredded cabbage + (about one pound shredded) 1% cups ' cheese cubes (% inch cube) % cup chopped green pepper or parsley 1 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons vinegar Salt to taste ¥% teaspoon dry mustard Combine shredded cabbage, cheese and green pepper or par- sley. Mix the sour cream 'with the sugar and vinegar. Season with salt and add the d.; mustard. Pour over the cabbage mixture and toss lightly. Serve the salad with muf- fins or tea biscuits for luncheon or supper. TV SLIPPERS Ny By ALICE BROOKS Simplest crochet--prettiest slip- pers!
