If such a doll could be ob- tained to please little girls and at the same time serve a worthy cause, what a Christmas bar- gain that would be. Tomorrow afternoon, at two centres in the city, McLaughlin Hall at a bazaar sponsored by the Women's Auxiliary of the Oshawa General Hospital; and the Salvation Army Citadel, at a bazaar sponsored by the Women's Home League; dolls filling both of these specifica- tions are on display. Mrs. James Garvock has spent two months dressing 40 dolls for the Home League of the Salvation Army. These dolls are dressed in Canadian fash- ions of the last one hundred years, a selection of ball gowns, § * wedding gowns and colonial house dresses, in a-variety of materials, tafetta, silks, ging- hams and furs. "T have done a great deal of research and taken ideas from films on television. Most of the materials I used were donated by members of the Home League."" Mrs. Garvock used pieces of lace that are at least eighty-five years old. 'It took a lot of work to restore the pieces, but it makes the dress authen- tic." (The lace has been used on the dressed doll which is seen in the front left of the picture.) Mrs. Garvock's mother, 76- year-old Mrs. Ida Gibson of Bowmanville, was able to give her daughter a description of her mother's wedding gown, and Mrs. Garvock was able to pro- duce a wedding gown of silk tafetta similiary to the one her grandmother wore almost a cen- tury ago. Mrs. Garvock's interest in such work could be considered more than a mere hobby. She teaches dressmaking and mil- linery at the YWCA and pattern designing and millinery for the Bowmanville Recreation Asso- ciation, a total of seven classe: a week. : The proceeds from these dolls and the other features of the bazaar, home baking, knitting, novelties will be the Home League's contribution to the "Kanata Residence,"' which pro- vides housing and accommoda- tion for Indian girls in Prince Rupert, B.C, "T have a personal interest in this project, as my son, Robert, is engaged to an Eskimo girl and when she visited us this summer, she made me aware uf the problems Indian and Eskimo 'girls have in furthering their, "education," says Mrs. Garvock. The late Mrs. R. S. McLaugh- lin instituted dressed dolls as a part of the annual bazaar of the Oshawa General Hospital Women's Auxiliary. Seven years ago, Mrs. J. A.

The date was Aug. 22, 1966. The tall, slim Negro woman from Marshall, Tex., has been held ever since. Her wherea- bouts is an official secret. Her husband, Tom Okelo-odongo, is barred from seeing her. Mrs. Okelo-odongo, 31, was Opposition Leader Oginga Odin- ga's personal secretary. She was accused of making contact with foreign vrganizations han- dling funds for the political op- ponents of President Jomo Ken- yatta, and of associating with people believed to be engaged in subversive activities. A tribunal to review her de- tention was held in secret. No account of the hearing has been published. Five of 10 others arrested have been freed. Marilyn Jackson, a secretary with the American embassy in Athens, is Caroline's twin sister. She came here and saw Vice- President Daniel Arap Moi and Attorney-General Charles Njonjo but her appeal for her sister's release was refused. Miss Jackson claimed Caro-| line had been offered her free- dom if she gave up Kenya citi- zenship and left the country. U.S. CAN'T INTERFERE The Ameriean embassy says that since Mrs. Okelo-odongo r d U.S. citizenship, it no longer is concerned and cannot interfere in Kenya's internal af- fairs. Release Caroline's husband, a former assistant minister of finance, is) a member of the Kenya Peo-| ple's Union, His party com-| mands only nine seats in parlia- ment and can bring little pres-| sure on the government. | Mrs. Okelo-odongo went to) work for Odinga when he was Kenya's vice-president. He) asked her to stay as his person-| al secretary when he went into opposition last year. Okelo-odongo says his wife) jhas "never taken part in policy | jmaking and was no closer to Odinga than any personal secre- tary is to her boss." | The government claims all those detained are "well fed, safe and healthy." Subject to periodic parliamentary approv- al they can be held indefinitely.
