PAGE FOUR TEE CAKADTAN STATESMAN, DOWMANVILLE. OUTAMO TRURSDAY, SWT. lut, 14S FEATHERS AND BOWS FEATURE FALL BATS A definite trend ta ligbter and brighter shades wtb aU the trim- mings bas taken place this year, in'women's hats. This information was given ta us by a notcd local autbarity, Miss.Lola Downs, o! the wel knaw firm o! Couch, Johnstan and Cryderman, wbo bas been in the millinery business for many yco.rs. SAéccrding ta Miss Downs, the women are going aIl out for rib- bans, bows and feathers, Every- thing from aspreys, wbich wc were taid is a spray o! astricb and other feathers, ta coque !ca- thers, that at anc timne were spart cd proudly by some majestic and and baugbty roaster, are gracing wamen's beadgear. As for shapes, no longer is fe- xinine beauty bidden by brigis nd veils that drape gracefully ,ver the wearcr's face. The rage iaw is off-tbe-face styles. Velvets aecm ta tic on the way in and arc gaining in popularity over fur felts. At wcddings, picture bats are in demand for the bridai attend- ants. There is no definite style for the bridc's hcaddrcsscs. Their oniy' specification, "I want saine- thing different." Miss Downs dlaims that she, bas often been surpriscd at,the amazing goad taste shown by men whcrs their wivcs bring them aiong ta -help choose a bat. She bas even bad men came into the store and take bats home on approvai for their- wives. Af ter ah tbhey have ta look at thcm and pay for tbem toa. Tbe women oniy *bave ta wear them. T -N -T THE BANKING HABITS OF WOMEN Every time I enter a bank I can't belp but recaîl Stephen Leacock's bumorausly pathetie essay "My Financial Career". The confusing effect ai banks is the anc thing 1 bave in common with this weli known writcr. He bit the nail on the bead whcn be said that banks appear ta rattie People, althougb the banking atmos- phere, if I may use that tcrm, bas shown many commendable im- pravements in recent years ta cushion that self cansciausness an the part o! timid customners.. Howevcr, you don't suffer too niucb when you do your banking in your hamctown, where the cashiers and others know yau. But just enter anc o! the bigger banks in the city and immediately your self confidence files out the win- dow. The cashier asks for identi- fication and YOU feel as if convict or thief is written ail over yaur face. If business calîs for an interview with the accountant, the mental torture becames even worse. Such is anc a! the disad- vantages of living in a big city. Just out o! sheer curîosity, 1 dccided ta find out how many "boners" are made in the banks in town and wha makes the great- est number, men or women. Unfartunateiy or fortunately tbc members a! the staffs o! the local banks are cxtremeiy dip- - - - - - - - - --- In aur Capital City anc of the barber shops bas a woman barber in tbe persan o! Alide Vaina,*a former Estonian DP. Wben she finisbed her one- year contract with the gavern- ment, Mrs. Vaino didn't let the maie tradition in barbering stand in the way a! ber getting employ- ment in her own profession. She walked inta an Ottawa barber £hop, announced she wouid like ta start work and was immediatciy given a triai. Twa baircuts later she was on the staff. Mrs. Vaino says that in ber na- tive country mast barbers arc wamen. "European men", she states, "prçfcr the woman 's touch". Due ta ber sparse Englisb the men wbose bair she cuts, miss out on the regular round o! political and other talk that usually ac- companies such tonsorial opera- tians. However, in Estonia, Mrs. Vaino points out, the wamen wba work in barber shops are as well verscd as their maie counterparts in this country on the ncws and gossip o! the day. Ottawa's only waman barber is not a novice. She followed the trade for 15 years in Estonia and for tbe last five a! t.hese bad ber own shap. It was the largest in Tallin, the Estonian capital. She bad 10 barbers in the shop-7 wamen and 3 mren.% Aitbaugh Mrs. Vaino is an ex- pert in wamcn's work as wcll, she definitely prefers men's work. T- N- T GOOD C0OKING STILL AN ART AND ANSWER TO LONGEVITY In this modern age o! atomic bomb6 and scicntific advance- ment whicb bas resutled in the can apening era in the culinary world, it might scem that the art o! cooking bas been cast into ob- livion. But no, after reading an article in "The Advertiser" a weekly paper publishcd at New Toronto, we find. that there are still some good aid fashioned cooks who can serve meals ta, the head of the bouse that make bis mouth Wvater. Mr. Nathaniel Yerex, New To- ronto, in bis 77th year, still works bard at bis job as Chie! Engincer at Reliable Specialties. He com- pieted 50 years witb this anc fac- tory an June Ilth and bas been married 53 years. When be was interviewed and asked ta wbat be attri'buted bis present state of good bealth, Mr, Yferex gave cridit ta bis wi!e's good cooking. His wife, wbo is 82 and stili fit and active cooks such gaod meais for ber husband DURHAN CENTRAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

He also, gave credit ta gaod hard work and clean living, but we would tic willing ta bazard a guess that the good caoking was the greatest factor in the secret o! bis long and hcalthy life. T -N- T SWORDFISH IN THE SKY Swordfish steak, ocean frcsh; haw does that sound ta you Mr. and Mrs. Bowmanville - Incred- ulmous . . . yes! Impassible... no! This tasty seafood may yct became a reaiity on many a Bow- manvif 'le supper table. Earlier in the manth a 400 lb., Il foot swordfish was caught off the share o! Sydney, N.S. Im- mediateiy when it was landed if was wrapped in Pliofiim, a mais- ture proaf packaging material deveioped by Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, and then flowni ta, Montreal by T.C.A. Air Travel for 'a swordfish is faintly reminiscent o! the war ycars when a weil known dog was flawn fram Washington ta the West Coast on a double A priarity; however, in this case, no persan objected despite the faaît the fish was carried mn the passengers' cabin. "Due ta the Pliofilm wrapper there was no smeil and the fish was 'perfcctly fresh an arrivai" said a T.C.A. officiai. The fish was braught ta Mon- treai by Dominian Stores Ltd., and is now being exhibited by them in a weight guessing contest. More than 30,000,000 galions o! kerosene are sold in Canada each year.

In order ta keep aur readers authcnticaliy informed on the much discusscd toptc o! beaith insurance we are pleascd ta pub- lish berewitb a statement o! poli- cy adopted by the Generai Caun- ci]. o! thé Canadian Medical As- sociation at its convention on June 14, 1949: 1. The Canadian Medical Asso- ciation, recagni4,ng that bealtb as an important clement in human happincss, reaf!irms its wiliing- ness in the public interest ta con- sider any proposais, officiai or un- official, wbîcb are gcnuinely almed at the improvement o! the bealth o! the 15eople. 2. Among the factors essentiel ta the people's bealth are adequate nutrition, good bousing and en- viranmental conditions gencrally, facilities for education, exercise and leisure; and flot least, wise and sensîIble, conduct o! the in- dividuai and bis acceptance o! personai responsibility. 3. It is recagnizcd and acccptcd that the community's responsibuli- ty in the field o! bealth includes responsibility not oniy for a bigh level o! environmental conditions and an efficient peventive ser- vide, but a responsibulity for en- suring that adequate medical fa- cilities are avairâbie ta evcry member o! the community, whe- ther or not he can afford the full cos t. 4. Accordingly, the Canadian Medical Association wll gladiy co-operate in the preparation o! detailed schemes which bave as ,tbeir abject the removai o! any barriers whichextst between the peaple and the medical services they need and which respect the essential principles o! the pro- fession. 5. The Canadian Medical Asso- ciation bapes that the provincial surveys now 'being canducted wiil provide information likcly ta be o! value in the elaboration o! detailed schemcs. 6. The Canadian Medicai Asso- ciation, baving approved the adoption o! the principle o! heaith insurance,, and having seen de- ,monstrated the practical applica- tion o! this principle in the es- tab]ishment o! voiuntary prcpaid medical care plans, now proposes: (a) The establishment and/or extension o! these Plans ta caver Canada.

However, I was able ta extract a small amount of information concerning thc bank- ing habits of women. As a general rule, baU o! the savings customers are womcn, but this 1 was offset by Uthc state- ment that women are mhore often guiity of leavlng money and pur- ses on the counters in Uic bank thapi men. This secmed rather hard ta bte- lieve. You would thirik that after ing the weekly pay envelope from the head of the bouse that women would tic extra careful of their hard carned moncy.

POUfEYPOOL The big excitement around here last week, was the case of the -boy in the bathing trunks. The boy appeared in the village, wearing a bathing suit, appeared ta be in a dazed condition, toid a story of having been in bathing at his home city of Peterboro, being appraached by two men, who sockcd bim on the noggin, and, here he was, in Pantypool. Sympathetic viliagers lookcd after him. The sequel ta the above yarn is that, the littie stinker had Idecided ta- run away from home, sa, left bis bike and one suit o! clothes near a body of water at Peterbaro, took his bathing trunks and another suit o! ciothes, walked ta Cavan, then hitcbed a ride ta Pontypool, whcre he put on the "bit over the head act". Fred Argue, Manvers Station, died shortiy after cating his evcniflg meai, Aug. 18. Funeral was held in Fallis Cemetcry, Aug. 21st. We extend aur sympathy' to the bereaved relatives. The late Mr. Argue was a pîcasant type of chap, wel iiked throughout the community. Due ta some mnac- curate information, we were un- able to repart this item last issue. Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Cbapman are the proud parents of a brand new son. Their other three chul- dren are daughters. Tony Richardson's new cottage enhances the appearance of that section of the village, and, is a welcome change ta the "eyesore"l that was there. Mrs. Bill Hamilton, Havciock, bas been renewing aid acquaint- ances in the ncighbourbood. She bas been staying with Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Bowin. Tobacco barvest is in full swing at aur four local tabacco farms. Sammy Crystai, reporter for the Toronto Evcning Telegram, was a visitor ta Durham Forest recentiy.

Here's wishing ,him many happy returns, and, a speedy recovcry from bis paînful injury. Ernie Youngman, and Larry Bradley, left by train on Aug. 22nd, fior the Caxnadian north west, under the auspices of the "harvester's excursion". Tbey expect ta find jobs, assisting west- ern farmers with their harvest. As Ernie is over 18 years of age, we presume be bas a legai right ta go where be likes, But we can- flot figure out why the officiais responsible for the cboosing of the applicants, sent Larry, a fourteen year aid school boy. Had a chat with Nort Chamb- ers recently, when be reportcd bis wifc's eye operatian turned out successfuliy. We are glad ta learn that Mrs. Chambers can again enjay ber sight. 0f course, it means that Nort won't be abie ta get away with quite sa much. Nort's sister, Lulu, has been visiting the aid neighbourhaad reccntly. Her home is at St. Pet- ersburg, Florida, U.S.A. As a youth, we had a yearning ta enroîl at the O.A.C. But, being possessed ai very limitcd finan- ciai means, educatian, intelligence and time, it was not tili Aug. 22 that we finaiiy made the grade.
