'THE CANADIAN S'rkrESMAN, B0WMANVILLE, ONTARIO MONTREAL FASHIONS The Lionesses wbo attended the District Convention in Montreal wlth thejr husbands recently were guests of Eaton's Depart- ment Store of that city at a fa- shion show beld on the ninth floor of the store. The show was put on especially for the wives of Lions in Montreal for the con- vention and was a vçry swish af- fair according to the girls from our town. There were six models, includ- iiig one portraying the over-for- tyish type, one a teen-ag~ and a pair -of twins of overag>modçl age. Travelling clothes. particut- larly for journeying to England and Europe were featured, since 1951 will he a big .year for travel. And stoles were 'shown with everything fromn sports clothes to evening gowns. They were made of every materiai known, as weil as all kinds of fur. In commenting on the. teen- age clothes shown, it was learned than an interesting experiment is being carried on in Montreai con- cerning teen-agers. Deploring the "ýsloppy Joe" type sweater and loafer shoes favoured by the young girls, the fashion experts of Montreal bave heen holdingc meetings once a month with teen- agers, trying to reacb a happy medium in costume which will appeal to girls of this age. Ail the Lionesses from B1ow- manville attended and had a most enjoyable afternoon, end- 5~/V COKAMM So Beautiful! r4 So Efficieit i " Twin-Unit, Even-Heat Oven.

One of the girls reports that Montreai girls seen on the streets and in the shops certainly have that French chic, and many of them are doing their hair ia beautiful. svelte up-sweep. No short hair for the Montrealers. Probably it doesn't appeal to their sense of the femninine, an instinct which is very strong i the French. BZZZ! WHO'S THERE? We haven't checked on the sale of screens and screening, but they must surely be going at a brisk pace since the mosquitoes in their millions have descended upon us. If it is any comfort to know that you have company in your mis- ery, ail of Ontario seems to be suffering from this scourge, the worst itj years. We do know that mosquito nètting is selling like ice cream on a hot day. We have a good notion to drape ourselves in it like a cross between a bee tender and the ghost of Aunt Ma- tilda the next time we go on a plnc. DREAM STUFF' Fashion Note: Have you seen a material called Velva-Ray Ny- lon in the local shops? It's a clautiful material in soft pastel shades ,with a floral applique of rayon velvet. What dreams are made of. You with nimble fing- ers. why not whip up a dress of this lovely stuff for dancing on warm summer nights? Or ready made dresses in this material are also available in town. DON'T BLAME ME We gathered a good story, and a true one. while visiting friends in a small village recently. It seems that an elderly villager, well-known for his reckless driv- ing, was coming out of a side street onto the main stem one Saturday night. Making a very wide turn, as was his custom, hie crashed into an oncoming car driven by a young blade of th', village. No one was hurt, and the eldenly one climhed out of his car with blood in his eye. Tap- ping the young driver with a long forefinger. he said, wrathily: "Why did you run into me? You ought to know I come around that corner this time every Saturday night!" LABURNUM TREES Margaret Aitken in hier col- umn, "Between You and Me" in the Toronto Telegram, bas arous- ed a gnod deal of interest in To- ronto in the laburnum tree. These trees, which have a vivid yellow blossom, are not widely grown and two years ago Miss Aitken commented in lier column that there were only three in the City of Toronto. Immediately she heard from other irate laburnum growers in the city. We are wondering if there are any of these trees in Bowmanville. They hloom early in June, so let us hear from you if you have one in your garden. THEN AND NOW We wonder what Governor John Graves Simncoe would think of Yonge Street North on a Sun- day night in summer 1951. When the Governor caused this road to be hewn out of the bush f rom York to Lake Simcoe, about 1796, he could not possibly have vis. ualized it as it is today. Riding over the rough trail on horseback, it is very doubtful if, even in his wildest flîght of imagination, lie dreamed of such a vehicle as the motor car. Yet now on a Sun- day night, these amazing vehicles. like so many thousands of bead- lighted ants. crawl nose to tail for miles, returning to the tremen- dous city which has grown fromn -Muddy York." It was Gover- nor Simcoe, incidentally, who. named the street for one of bis friends. AH, SUMMER Now we enter June. and sum- nier is hc're, even though offici- ally the season does not begin un- tii June 21. "What is so rare as a day in June?

ODE TO A HO)F DOG (A littie doggerel written while on a picnic) Breathes there the drip with soul so dead, He neyer to himself hath said, This is my own, my native dog! Who, toasting thee o'er open flame' Hast neyer thought to praise thy name Ere eating thee, oh Red Hot? If such there be, 'tis my delight To chide hlm for this oversight, And sing an ode to every one I've ever eaten in a bun, With wood smoke flavoured o'er the fire, Some mustard, relish-heart's de- sire! To those who scorn this native dream While picnicing by lake or stream, To him I say, 'Thy soul is dead- Or else, thy politics are Red!" Further lines, while thus inspired: I love thee, dressed in mustard coat, With ruf f of relish round thy throat; I loved thee wrapped in toasted bun, Oh fair, oh pure, oh perfect one! Lake Scugog Steamer Trip 100 Years Ago A very interesting account of the first steamboat trip between Port Perry and Lindsay, just 100 years ago, appeared in the "One Hundred Years Ago" column of The Globe and Mail. The article, which is of considerable interest locaily, is as follows: Tuesday, June 3rd, 1851 Steamer on Lake Scugog. From The Colonist. Perhaps it may arise from my flot seeing ail the Toronto papers, or those published out of the city, but it has appeared to me strange, that as yet no notice has been taken in the public prints of a re- cent interesting addition to our means of internai communication. I refer to the fact of the waters of Lake Scugog being traversed by a steamboat for the first time, on Friday, the 25th ultimo. A number of gentlemen from To- ronto, Streetsville,. Whitby and Oshawa, having accepted the in- vitation of the owners to be pres- ent at the trial trip, proceeded to the point of embarkation by the really excellent road which leads from Windsor Bay, on Lake On- tario. to Port Perry, on Lake Scu- gog After some delay waiting for the stragglers, the steamer Woodman (for such is the very appropriate name bestowed on this new craft) got under way with a numerous party on board; and, on reaching the foot of the Lake, entered on the more intri- cate- navigation of the River Scu- gog. Making ber way around sharp turns, and through narrow places surrounded by drowned and decayed timber, the steamer at length reached Lindsay, where her arrivai was hailed by a large assemblage in the most enthusi- astie manner. Preceded by a band of music from Oshawa (which had enlivened the steam- boat with their performances dur- ing the day) the happy crowd of residents and the more staid-look- ing strangers proceeded to Mr. Mitchell's Inn.

Repinted fromn "Good Impres- sions." Women's Institute Hear Talk On Rhodesia I I Jury Family Plays Important Roi. in Realm of Dramnatics Probably few people in Bow- manville are aware that a local girl bad an important part in George Bernard Shaw's play, "In Good King Charles' Golden Days," an entry in the recent Do- minion Drama Festival at Lon- don, Ont. Not as an actress, but es stage director, responsible for -stage properties, furnisbings, ap- pliances and lighting and the thousand and one details of stage management that go to make up ,a show. This exacting but fascin- ,ating job was in the bands of ,Miss Mary Jury, daugýiter of Dr. and Mrs. Gordon S.. Jury of Mc- Master University, Hamilton, and granddaughter of the late J. H. H. Jury, Bowman'v.ille. The "Good King Charles" play, entered by the University of To- ronto Alumnae Dramatic Club, was not the winner of the Bess- borough Trophy for the best presentation in the Festival, but 23-year-old John Collicos won the award as the best actor for bis portrayal of the title role. He was also winner of the Central Ontario Award as best actor. One gathers stage properties from a wide variety of places, Mary reports, and getting just the ight thing often involves consid- erable foraging, even though people and organizations are ex- tremely belpfui in offering need- ed items. A globe (the kind which shows a map of the world> proved an elusive article. Globes of varying sizes were eventually located. but some were too big, some too small and none "just right" as Goldilocks expressed it. However, at last a library offered one that filled aIl requirements. and so one more item could be checked off the stage director's list. Participation in dramatic work is an interesting hobby for Mary, who is one of four welfare work- ers at Sunnybrook Hospital, To- ronto. This work is flot concerii- ed witb the physical care of th? patients, which is weli looked af- ter by doctors, nurses and many organizations. It is rather a lias- on work between patients and relatives, also inspecting home conditions of out-going patients, and is of great importance to the mental and physical welfare of the patients. A graduate of Mc- Master University, Mary receiv- ed an M.A. in Welfare fromn Sim- mons College, Boston, Mass. Mary is not the only member of ber family with a flair for the dramatic. Her brother Chester, who also went to Bowmanvillo High School and thence to Mc- Master, bas directed two plays i0 the High School at Timmins wbere he teaches Natural Sci- ence. The 2000 students have a keen interest in music and drama and their choir of 90 voices and schooi orchestra displayed their talent at the Teachers' Conven- tion in Toronto recently. Mrs. J. H. H. Jury, to whom we are indebted for information regarding Mary's and Chester's stagecraft activities, asks: "Wherc do they get it, in a family of mis- sionaries and teachers?" They Missed the Mark In 1923 a group of the world's most successful financiers met at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago. Present were: The president of the largest la- dependent steel company. The president of the largest utility company. The greatest wheat speculator. The president of the New York Stock Exehienge. A member of the President's cabinet. The greatest bear in Wall Street. The president of the Bank of International Settlements. The head of the world's great- est monopoly. Collectively, these tycoons con- trolled more wealth than there was in the United States Treas- ury, and for years newspaperr and magazines had been.printing their success stories . . - Twenty- Miss Thelma Walther, Reg. N., Cobourg. who bas been on the staff of the Northumberland- Durham Health Unit since Aug- ust 1947, left at the end of May to marry Mr. George Underhill, Kingston. Miss Walther's public health nursing work bas been carried on in Hamilton, Haldimand and part of Cramahe Townships and in Cobourg, and she is well known in ail of the schools and in many homes in that area. Since June, 1950, four Health Unit nurses hesides Miss Walther have been married, out of a staff of twelve. Miss K. L. Ferguson, who worked from the Bowman- ville office, is now Mrs. Malcolm Hamilton, living north of Bow- manville. Miss Leone Docken- dorff, Campbellford, is Mrs. Ai- Ian Carpenter, living near Keene. Miss Elaine Dogue, Millbrook. married Mr. Lyle Nattress of Millbrook; Miss Mae Heartz, Port Hope, became Mrs. Douglas F. Lillie. Port Radium, N.W.T. Kemptville Principal M. C. McPhcûl Dies Marshal C.

Frm the ""BLUE BOOK"' of Famous Trains Bowmanville Women's Institute s held the first meeting of the year ii on May 29, Mrs. C. Johns presid- hi ing. d Mrs. R. Candler presented the annual report of the Treasurer, nr after which roll caîl was answer- ed with a verse 'from an old- school book. Five delegates were appointed to the District Annual Meeting at Maple Grove on May 31: Mes- dames L. Dumas, R. Candler, C. Gatchell, L. Kerr and J. Aber- nethy.î A special collection was taken as a donation for the bazaar i aid of the Memorial Hospital. Mrs. R. Byers was convener for the afternoon. and. after Mrs. J. Newman bad sunr"Sîng me to Sleep," accompanied by Mrs. E. Wood.. introduced Mrs. (Cap- tain) Deening of the Salvation Army. The address told of life in Rhodesia as a missionary. Her busband was in charge of 15 schools and four churches deep in the Reserve while she taugbt English and mathematics, in a schooi of 210 children with five native teachers. School opened at 6:30 a.m., the pupils being sum- moned by banging one bar of iron on another. Mrs. Deering stressed the co- operation between ail sects in the Reverse, although each denom- ination bas its .own schools and colleges. The value of Christian teaching showed itself strongly in the contrast between con- ditions in villages where Chris- tians live and the natives. Wom- en learned to take a greater in- terest in keeping the mud buts cleaned, hymns were sung and the wild dances disappeared. Fear, too. disappeared, as the truth enters into the people's lives and hearts. Great are the sacrifices made hy missionaries. but from the first challenge to Mary Magda-d lene to Go and Tell, men and women have answered the cal to be witnesses for Christ and the Gospel. Mrs. Byers thanked the speak- er and artists. The meeting' clos- ed with God Save tbe King after which tea was served. The annual picnic will be to Orono Park on June 29.
