    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!

    By IDA BAILEY ALLEN

    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!
    A most “interesting Interna-
    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,

    ELLEN’S DIARY»

    _ By this, the herdsire of this
    farm and his herdsmen. will be
    home from their week at the
    Fair.

    _Afid by this that outward trek
    will jbe continuing into the week-

    animal and herdsman, official and
    visitor, to leave at lengith thiat
    erstwhile busy and colorful place
    that -is ‘The Grounds,’’ once
    more deserted and lone.

    We think now of the outgoing
    machines, the giant and smaller
    transports bearing off the prides
    of tthe farms, the trailers and
    other vehicles that made tire Mid-
    way and other features of interest.
    The cars too easing out into the
    night or day, facing home to
    some Island place or location
    distant, carrying folks who have
    pleasant memories of the gala
    week past, and nice aniicipa-
    tions of loved scenes ahead. And
    ever in our mind in connection,
    is the thought of that tragic toll
    of lives which invariably is paid
    out so needlessly it would appear
    by ithe weekend traffic,

    An editorial in a fanm journal
    recently lays this mostly to “High

    cae

    ways that. Hypnotize.’’ Most of
    us ‘iit says’’ have come to dread
    the Monday newspaper, with its
    grim weekly record of traffic ac-
    cidents over the weekend.

    - Highway safety is preached to
    us constantly, yet traffic traged-
    ies continue to shock us with
    their wanton waste of lives. Sure-
    ly we are coming to the limit,
    of our. endurance as a_ nation.

    (Must we all give up those plea-
    sant Sunday drives that have
    been so much a part of our
    Canadian way of living? Or can
    someone, .or some group of peo-
    ple come up with really construc-
    tive suggestions i
    this tragic toll? :

    Tt seems to us that the High-
    way departments are going in
    the wrong directions in many of
    their so/called improvements.
    Those increditably smooth four-
    lane highways are an invitatio:
    to speed. Why does anyone need
    to go at seventy miles an hour?
    What destination is so important
    that it must be reached by a
    mathematically precise 1 im e ?
    Those ribbon smooth, straight

    roads are just bait for the speed

    emasy. They ase @ hazard tee
    for more careful drivers because
    of their monotony. They hypno-
    tize the unwary inte a semi.
    sleepy state, lulling all the driv.
    ers’ faculties.”

    “There are some things any
    driver can do to ward off that| ™
    sleepy feeling, the Canadian |
    Highway Safety Conference sug-
    gests, among other. things, tha:
    we carry a thenmos of coffee:
    vary the car’s speed; stop every
    hour and walk around the car;
    tuune in the radio, or sing lively|p
    music; smoke an occasional cig-
    ‘arette; talk head ho cae and | the
    ask them to by keeping an

    eye on the speedometer. AL night to be
    run the wind shield wipers at | ©

    intervals, keep switching the|
    lights beam from low to
    tio low, and keep the dash

    gestions, during the super-high-
    ways remain dangerous. ~
    “Tt shocks us to note that the |.
    super highways have fewer rest-|
    ing places, fewer picnic
    fewer turn-offs than ‘do our
    tny backroads. Everyone agrees
    a sleepy driver should rest, but|

    get off the road.” d

    “We were interested to hear
    of one finm that took its trucks
    off the main highways and re.{t
    routed them by back roads, fig-
    uring the loss of time. was re-
    paid by cutting down the risk
    of sleepy drivers and the chance!
    of accidents. .

    Normally fanm people would.
    hardly welcome the roar of trans-
    ports on country by-ways but un-
    der today’s conditions most of ug}
    would be glad to hear of a com-
    paign that said ‘Take to the back | —
    roads! Keep off those death trap
    through-ways! Slow down, enjoy
    the countryside, relax on your
    Sunday drive-and-live.!”

    While our Island highways ai
    not we fancy: among those tite
    writer had in mind, at the same
    time they too and all Island roads
    present’ their hazards of travel
    to which operators must be ale-t.
    May every-last one, driver and|
    passenger who has been to the
    Island Fair and is even now
    homing, reach haven safely.

    Until Monday --Diary-Good
