48 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, November 25, 1058 FROM TODDLERS TO» TEENS From toddler to teen, there are warm comfortable for at- ease, lounge-about and 'dream times." Made of soft, cuddly cot- | tons, these easy-to-care-for gar- ments are welcome gifts at Christmas time or any time. Handsome Wearables For Masculine Gifts Christmas offers the once-a-year opportunity for friends and mem- bérs of a man's family to see to it that he gets those items of ap- parel he probably wants himself. Through careful selection and some comparing of notes, they can make fairly certain that his Yuletide gifts will give his 'ward- robe, notes of luxury, comfort and suggested to add a ane rrr look to his business dress are the new nar- row ties in the year's subdued, miniature tterns and small stripes; s with the 1953 mark of ing (shown by the popular and pin-through collar ); a new hat -- homb . snapbrim -- with the tapere crown now favored by the best- dressed men; a handsome muffler, or a serviceable pair of knit or leather gloves. A gift certificate entitling him to a new business® suit, will put you right up there on the list of his favorite people, as will a cer- tificate for a topcoat in camel hair, cashmere, or one of the new richly textured wool fabrics. The gift certificate saves you time -- and possible error--in the knotty problem of selection of fa- brics, patterns and colors. The man simply takes the gift cer- tificate to the store, then chooses the exact garment he wants. There seems to be an everin- creasing swing - towards sports clothes for all occasions, even for wear at the office. The casual, "manly" look is the order of the day here, with rough-surfaced fab- rics adding 'an air of studied cas- ualness. For Man Who! Uses Scents Never underestimate the power .of. a woman when it comes to persuading real he-men to use fine talletries! 'The average man won't buy tofletries for himself, but brother, how he'll pour 'em on when some- body else buys them as gifts for But # wasn't always so! The | male's love for fine toiletries dates | as far back as the Pharohs of Egypt. It was the 'sad sack" in- deed in those days who didn't get all 'scented' at the drop of a feminine eyelash. Rough, tough Alexander the Great reached often for the rug- 'tweedy' type of scent. And Roman patrisians literally bath- ed in the most expensive prefumes and unguents available. Louis XIV, Richelieu and Napo- leon Bonaparte, all spent many a sou on the finest of French per- fumes. In fact, since the days of early 19th Century society, France has consistently remained the cap- itol of the perfume world. And, speaking of this day, the modern male has a wide choice of scented liquids from which to choose, mostly in the cologne and after shave lotion categories. | From the wide range of 'tweedy', | 'out-doorsy' and 'leathery' frag- rances of today -- gentlemen, and ladies picking gifts for gentlemen, can make a 'scentsijble' choice. 'MarketlnUK. Would Cut Loss OTTAWA (CP) -- Hayden Stan- ton (PC--Leeds) said in the Com- mons Tuesday that the problems of dairy farmers should be met by action to regain markets in Britain. The price of Ontario cheese had dropped to $1.81 a hundredweight this year from $2.80 in 1951 and the United States market for dairy cattle was half what it was in Mr. Stanton estimated that the average dairy farmer in Ontario has suffered a 40-per-cent drop in income this year from 1951. Many farm implement factories were working only half time because of the loss of revenue by farmers. Mr. Stanton, who represents part of eastern Ontario's rich dairy area, was one of members who aEbate during the throne speech te. TV SPURS CASUAL STYLES Television has spurred many new styles for at-home, at-ease comfort. The lounging robe has been re-introduced in a variety of new stylings, including rich-textur- ed flannels, plaids and wool broad- cloths. The smoking jacket, too, is a strong favorite for at-ease wear. ;.

(CP) -- Work is expected to start on a new $200,000 university administration building by Feb. 1, Dr. R. A. Allen, president of University of Western Ontario and dean of graduate studies, announced Tuesday. Dr. Allen said the new building will 'be used to house university offices, at present situated in the arts building. Faculty and eol- lege offices, also in the art build- ing, will remain, | were counted at By WILF CHISLETT Canadian Press Staff Writer REGINA (CP)--Wildlife officials here await word of the arrival in Texas of three whooping cranes seen early in November in Sas- katchewan while migrating from northern breeding grounds. If they arrive safely, the three laggards of the little colony's fall migration will bring the known whooping crane population to 24, three more than a year ago. Late in October, from some- where in the vast northern marsh- lands, most of the birds in the flock started to wing their way south to the National Wildlife Ref- uge at Aransas, Texas. Twenty- one birds, including three young the sanctuary in November. ENCOURAGING SIGN Arrival the slow starters would mean the first increase in the number of the birds which has declined rapidly during the pres- ent century. Four years ago there were 34. Once they were said to have darkened the skies in their migra- tions and as late as 1865 were re- in great numbers between the open plains from the Red river to the Rockies. Six of the cranes--daddy long- legs of North American birds-- were sighted in Saskatchewan this fall, the last three Nov. 5 at Her- bert, 125 miles west of Regina: Fred Bard, director of the Sas- katchewan Museum of Natural History, and two field workers caught up with the birds before they left the area and took photo- Whooping Crane Roster Has Risen 3 In A Year graphs. Bard said getting the piec- tures was '"'a-one-in-a million chance." Bard said the cranes apparently were resting on their trip south, about two weeks late. He said one of them appeared to have some ailment and the other two were acting as escorts. The museum in the last 14 years has joined with United States or nithologists in trying to find some way of stopping the whoopers' an- nual decrease. HUNTERS WARNED Literature has been sent thrcugh- out the province asking informa- tion on the birds in their 1,500 mile flight south. Warnings are issued repeatedly to hunters not to fire on the cranes. Few nimrods, believed the main cause of the high mortality rate, can't resist the temptation of lining their sights against a bird that is four feet tall and has a wing spread of more than seven feet. The whooper flock invariably is reduced on its trips north and south. Nine were lost in 1950, 11 the next year and six in 1952. Bard said it probably will de- pend on the hunter just when the crane will become extinet. The 57 young which returned from Cana« dian breeding grounds since 1939 indicate the birds will increase if left unmolested. ABANDON SEARCH He said no new searches are planned for the whooper's nesting place, believed" somewhere in a broad expanse stretching from east-central Alberta to west-central Manitoba and probably extending far into the northwest territories. Searches in recent years have been unsuccessful. Driven before the advance of civilization, the whooping crane steadily flew northward to find breeding grounds, entering colder climates which affected its repro- ductivity. The last two nests were found 21 years ago near Kerro- bert in west-central Saskatchewan. Ornothologists hope by finding the breeding grounds to discover what make the birds head north. If this can be done they may be able to overcome centuries of in- bred habits to keep them from mi- grating. The whooping erane, snow white with black wingtip markings and red, bald crown and cheeks, gets its name from its loud trumpeting voice. Its call, the loudest of any bird, resounds through a five-foot windpipe and can be heard three miles off on a good day.

(CP) -- A "sacred pact" which has prevented the sale of liquor in part of New Zealand's North island has been found by an official historian to be no more than a legend. He says it is an example of how unsound statements have been repeated so often that they have been accepted as true, It has been commonly believed that the followers of the Maori "king'"' who occupied the great tract of country in the North island known as the king country made a "sacred and inviolable pact" with the government in 1884. In return for permission to build the main trunk railway through their coun- try and other concessions, the story goes, the white man guaran- hod never to permit the sale of liquor in the territories. To this day no hotels in the king country are permitted to sell liquor. Now a large part of the population want a poll of all resi- dents on whether liquor sales should be allowed. Sacred Drink Ban Was Only Legend Temperance and, church organi- zations opposed the proposal, claiming that the pledge was made to the Maori people and any change would be a grave breach of faith. The government has tested Maori opinion, but influenced by claims of the pledge obtained their ancestors the Maoris have voted against liquor sales. It is ol by those favoring liquor sale t a combined vote of European and Maori inhabitants would reverse the verdict. Dr. A. H. McLintock, parlia- mentary historian, was appointed to investigate and he states that neither in the speeches of the then prime minister or the native min- ister, nor in newspaper and other reports at that time, is there any suggeston that the 1884 proclama- ion was the outcome of a pact or sacred pledge. It did not bind the government and it could be superseded by act of Parliament. 103 to 60,000 Tn 300 Years ! MONTREAL (CP) -- There are 60,000 descendants of the 103 set- tlers who arrived at the Montreal colony in 1653. Recently, several hundred of these celebrated in Notre Dame Cathedral the tri-cen- jtenary of their ancestors' landing. A pontfical mass was conducted by Msgr. Edouard Jette of Joliette, himself a descendant of the 48 families who made up the early settlement. Assisting him were priests who also claimed the same distinction. Following the mass, Roland Auger, secretary of the Genealog- ical Society of French-Canadians, read the names of the original settlers, speaking at the Maison- neuve monument at Victoria Souare. He said UWO is looking forward to an expected increase in student | registration in the next three or four years when the present large | high school enrolment reaches uni.- versity standard. "Much more space is required for students and faculty," he said. "When the university offices move into the new building, space at present occupied by them will be converted in student and acade- mic accommodation." Dr. Allen said the new building will be known as Stevenson hall. Its construction is made possible largely by the use of the residue of the estate of ihe late W. J. evenson, one of tl at - bene- factors of UWO in A years. Festival "Was Great" (CP) -- The Stratford an Festival was des- the Commons . Tuesday by J.

'He dreamed of such an under- taking for some time and finall convinced a number of citizens of Stratford that he had something," e said. Mr. Monteith said last summer's performance assured the future of the festival, I feel that all culturally-minded people in Canada are grateful to those few in Stratford who had | the foresight and initiative to make | it possible." A total of 68,800 tickets for the festival were sold, of which 38.1 r cent went to residents of the nited States. Cars in the festival parking lot came from nine prov- inces and 35 states south the border. : Protect Floors From Drippings Unfortunately Christmas ' trees will drip a sticky resin -- so, pro-- tect your rug under the tree.
