Montreal Pays Tribute
To An Eminent Doctor
Dr. John Hamond Palmer, 62,
born in Bedeque, P.E.I., head. of
the Royal Victoria Hospital Car-
diology Department at Montreal.
and one of the founders of the
National Heart Foundation of
Canada died August 9th. :
The following is an editorial
from the Montreal Star of Aug-
ust 12, with heading Dr. John H.
Palmer. :
Canada has lost a distinguish-
ed. medical scientist in the death
of Dr. John H. Palmer, a person
who, quite apart from his pro-
fessional eminence, had that rare
bay —\a great capacity for friend-
; p. \
In a self-effacing manner Dr.
Palmer lent lustre to alll he did,
which was much and in many|
fields. He was associate profes-
. sor of medicine at McGiill Univer-
sity and as.such quickly gained
the confidence of his students. As
head of the department of card-
iology at the Royal Victoria Hos-
pital: he added to the )aurels
of that renowned institution. And
as one of the founders of the
National: Heart Foundation _ of
Canada he made an outstanding
contribution to the important
work which is going on in this
country in this particular field.
Like so many do¢tors he was
ready, at considerable personal
sacrifice, to serve his country in
the two world: wars. His services
in World War IL were outstand-
ing, “‘in the field’’ with Montreals
famed No. 14 Canadian General
Hospital and later at military
headquarters in London when he
became chief consultant in med-
icine.
All these things Dr, Palmer did
supremely well, but a host of
friends will femember him as a
kind, cultured pesonality with a
profound fondness for the good.
things of this world.

TRULY CANADIAN?
, Ate there fashions that can
be described as truly Canadian?
A few years. ago the answer
to that ques- ,
tion would
have been
doubtful for
Canadian wo-
men had to be
pcontent with
fashions de-
signed in other
countries, par-
ticularly the
But times ‘
have changed, and one sign of
this was the recent formatipn
of a professional body called the
Association of Canadian Cou-
turiers, a group of designers
from coast to coast who are
working together in promoting
Canadian designs and fabrics.
And what do such people
mean when they speak of Cana-
dian fashion design? :
Not, as one writer has sug-
gested, ‘a maple leaf nampant
on a field of corn.”
No, Ma’am! The new associa-
tion recognizes that Canadian
women have good taste in
clothes but usually a_ limited
budget| ‘So some of the distine-
tive characteristics of Canadian
fashions, as they emerge over
the next few years, will be:
Synthetic fabrics that are
easily cleaned and need little or
no pressing;
Lightweight materials that per-
mit yards and yards of fabric
without creating awkward
weight or bulk:
Simple but dramatic colors,
both for dresses and accessories
—which will mean more versat-
ility, even for small wardrobes;
And finally, outfits which can
be worn in the office during the
day, then “dressed , up” in a
matter of moments for an ‘after
five’ cocktail date.
Tt seems to me that if Can-
ada’s leading fashion designers
sell all the ideas they are en-
thusiastically putting forward
right now, Canadian women,
even with their limited budgets,
will soon be just about the best-
dressed national “group any-
where in the world!

From spring to early summer,
food editors in New York City
are submerged in a semi-social
swirl of delightful special events.
These pose .a twofold problem:
How to find time to do any work
and how to sidestep too many
calories!

tional Buffet for the press was
hostessed by- Elsa Maxwell in
the Hunt Room of ‘‘21,” to cele-
brate the opening of the recent
Festival of Foods.
GRACIOUS: HOSTESS Ae
Miss Maxwell is a most gra-
cious hostess, especially success-
ful because she is genuinely in-
terested in her guests.
Her recent book How To Do It,
or The Lively Art of Entertain-
ing, is outstandingly helpful in its
down-to-earth, easy-to-take sug-
gestions and the entertaining way
in which they are: presented. It
contains the solutions to many
problems untouched in books of
etiquette—ail handled from th
human standpoint, :
You'll enjoy reading every
word. 3
The following International Buf-
fat menu, featuring foods from 38
countries, can serve as a model
on which to plan either simple or
elaborate buffets,

and one of the founders of the
National Heart Foundation of
Canada died August 9th. :
The following is an editorial
from the Montreal Star of Aug-
ust 12, with heading Dr. John H.
Palmer. :
Canada has lost a distinguish-
ed. medical scientist in the death
of Dr. John H. Palmer, a person
who, quite apart from his pro-
fessional eminence, had that rare
bay —\a great capacity for friend-
; p. \
In a self-effacing manner Dr.
Palmer lent lustre to alll he did,
which was much and in many|
fields. He was associate profes-
. sor of medicine at McGiill Univer-
sity and as.such quickly gained
the confidence of his students. As
head of the department of card-
iology at the Royal Victoria Hos-
pital: he added to the )aurels
of that renowned institution. And
as one of the founders of the
National: Heart Foundation _ of
Canada he made an outstanding
contribution to the important
work which is going on in this
country in this particular field.
Like so many do¢tors he was
ready, at considerable personal
sacrifice, to serve his country in
the two world: wars. His services
in World War IL were outstand-
ing, “‘in the field’’ with Montreals
famed No. 14 Canadian General
Hospital and later at military
headquarters in London when he
became chief consultant in med-
icine.
All these things Dr, Palmer did
supremely well, but a host of
friends will femember him as a
kind, cultured pesonality with a
profound fondness for the good.
things of this world.

TRULY CANADIAN?
, Ate there fashions that can
be described as truly Canadian?
A few years. ago the answer
to that ques- ,
tion would
have been
doubtful for
Canadian wo-
men had to be
pcontent with
fashions de-
signed in other
countries, par-
ticularly the
But times ‘
have changed, and one sign of
this was the recent formatipn
of a professional body called the
Association of Canadian Cou-
turiers, a group of designers
from coast to coast who are
working together in promoting
Canadian designs and fabrics.
And what do such people
mean when they speak of Cana-
dian fashion design? :
Not, as one writer has sug-
gested, ‘a maple leaf nampant
on a field of corn.”
No, Ma’am! The new associa-
tion recognizes that Canadian
women have good taste in
clothes but usually a_ limited
budget| ‘So some of the distine-
tive characteristics of Canadian
fashions, as they emerge over
the next few years, will be:
Synthetic fabrics that are
easily cleaned and need little or
no pressing;
Lightweight materials that per-
mit yards and yards of fabric
without creating awkward
weight or bulk:
Simple but dramatic colors,
both for dresses and accessories
—which will mean more versat-
ility, even for small wardrobes;
And finally, outfits which can
be worn in the office during the
day, then “dressed , up” in a
matter of moments for an ‘after
five’ cocktail date.
Tt seems to me that if Can-
ada’s leading fashion designers
sell all the ideas they are en-
thusiastically putting forward
right now, Canadian women,
even with their limited budgets,
will soon be just about the best-
dressed national “group any-
where in the world!

From spring to early summer,
food editors in New York City
are submerged in a semi-social
swirl of delightful special events.
These pose .a twofold problem:
How to find time to do any work
and how to sidestep too many
calories!

tional Buffet for the press was
hostessed by- Elsa Maxwell in
the Hunt Room of ‘‘21,” to cele-
brate the opening of the recent
Festival of Foods.
GRACIOUS: HOSTESS Ae
Miss Maxwell is a most gra-
cious hostess, especially success-
ful because she is genuinely in-
terested in her guests.
Her recent book How To Do It,
or The Lively Art of Entertain-
ing, is outstandingly helpful in its
down-to-earth, easy-to-take sug-
gestions and the entertaining way
in which they are: presented. It
contains the solutions to many
problems untouched in books of
etiquette—ail handled from th
human standpoint, :
You'll enjoy reading every
word. 3

fat menu, featuring foods from 38
countries, can serve as a model
on which to plan either simple or
elaborate buffets,
