MAGAZINE PROVIDES WEDDING IIEADGEAR TORONTO. Dec. l2 - (CP) - Wher‘. girls ln I-Ielslnke marry they depend on their favorite magazine to provide part of the wedding costume — it's all in the "special services‘ offered by Kotlliesi, s, Finnish women‘! periodical.

“Finnish girls choose much more elaborate costumes for their weddings than Canadian and American girls," said Miss Alli Wiherhelmo of Helslnke in an interview.

"They go in for intricale head- gear, and one of our services is to lend n crown of silver and gilt to our readers for their ivetldings."

Kotlliesl of which Miss Wiher- heimo has been managing editor for the last 25 years. isn't con- cerned so much with fashions as it is with the more serious Interests of the housewife. It carries fewer fiction stories than American magazines, possibly because an acute shortage of paper forced the magazine down to two-thirds its pre-war sin.

Duke 0f Windsor Autobiographical A Sketch Is Continued

NEW YORK, Dec. l2 — (OP) _. The Duke of Windsor, describing his life as Prince of Wales in an autobiographical article, says that Oxford University during his student days there "failed to break down the resistance to learning that was the legacy of my unbookish ancestors." .

“It is a little discouraging to realize how little I learned there. he writes in the second of a series on his youth published in Life magazine. "But the fault does not lie with Oxford ..

“It would be wrong to give Oxford credit for teaching me how to drink" hut "all the same. it certainly furnished me with opportunities for tentatively test- ing the art on myself, as well n for observing the dubious progress and occasional disasters of’ others."

The Duke describes partiee elimaxed by bonfires " fed with furniture tossed out of the mum] of undergraduates who had in- curred their classmates’ die- Pleflflure" and birthday celebrat- ions accompanled by "the cere- monial smashing of glasses against the fireplace, and, eventually. the CBPPYIIIK out of yhose who could no longer walk by those who thought they could."

However. “it is characteristic of collegiate memories that the hell-raising side, in mgmenig 0g

reminiscence, mccneniarily over.

MAN

shadows the daily plodding drurgery which I always associat- ed with study.

"Oxford is a serious place and the truth is that my Oxford (lays, by and large, were sober. tranquil and studious."

The Duke drawe on his diary notes to describe fully ceremonial occasions in which he participated, including the funeral services for his grandfather. King Edward V111, the coronations o1’ his mother and father, King George V and Queen Mary, and his own in- vestlture as Prince of Wales.

Fbr the investiture, he rebelled at wearing a "mantle and surcout ' of purple velvet edged with ermine end white satin breeches," which he describes as a "fantastic fifillllm!" end "preposterous rig." But "in the end my mother. as always. smoothed things over. ‘You mustn't take a mere ceremony so seriously,’ she said. "your friends will understand that as a prince you are obliged to do certain things that may seem a. little silly. It will only be for this once.’

Women Barred From Juries In Most Provinces

(B! The Canadian Press)

To the courts, ladies!

F01‘ 1011011811. in Principle, you long ago won the franchise. most Canadian Provinces today give you the legal brush-off when it comes to serving on juries.

The reasons? Well, provincial judicial figures and attorneys- general spokesmen said they were: l. time-worn customs; 2, juryiawrs call for a panel of "reasonable males"; S, there is a. "Iiousing shortage" in courtrooms which bars women jurors.

Here's the "to serve or not to serve" picture across the country: A British Columbia authority says women may sit on all juries -except a coroner's.

Although only a few have served in recent years, Alberta allows housewives on civil juries-but not in capital cases where jurors are locked up pending verdicts.

1h Regina. Attorney-General J. W. Corman promises the ladies a break: “I'm ‘going to recommend jury duty for women on a volun- tary basis at the next session of the Saskatchewan Legislature."

Manitoba Attorney-General De- partment officials refused to con- ment-except admitting women are barred from all jury services.

And Quebec judicial figures say they never recalled any agitation for such rights. However, the Provincial Jury Act requires that all jurors be males. '

A Saint John, N. B., law auth- ority says he has never heard of women jurors being considered and that the "maIes only" sign is enforced by statute.

Frankly puzzled. seems to be the state of Nova scotiirs Attorney- Generahs office. women have never before served and it's not quite sure if they really are ar- red-but the Adjudicature Act specifies: "Jury shell consist of 12 reasonable men." .

Women of Prince Edward ts~

Provinceb act ‘merely says "per- sonv’ end does not specify males only. And a Charlottetown Sup- reme Oourt Judge says he can't see any reason why women can't serve-but none has yet.

(By The Canadian Prue) This year the Christmas tree

but those In the business predict that prices will fall after Dec. 18 and shoppers who wait until after that date will be able to get bar- gains.

Canadas big Christmas tree in- dustry-in pest years it has run to about $4,000,000 e leaeon- shows no sign of felling ofl this year, a Canadian Press survey re- vealed today.

Trees ere plentiful in ell Prov- inces but British Columbia where there are expected to be fewer on the -‘ mastic market than in put years. However. the Province will ship an estimated 2.000.000, val- ued at 8400.000 to the United states against last you’: 1,500,000 which brought in 8300.000.

In the Marltlmes. where Christ- mas tree exporting is big business. more than 8,000,000 are being shipped south of the border to brighten American festivities. Thil figure includes more than 2,000.- 000 from Nova Scotia which ex- pects a bumper year, 1,000,000 from New Brunswick and a. few cer- loads from Prince Edward Island which usually nnds a market for its trees at home.

Nova scene's revenue last year from 2,000,000 exported trees was about $500,000 and this year prices are about the same while‘thoee in New Brunswick are “up e few cents." Balsam. fir and spniee are the most popular trees cut in the area with a wholesale price of lb to 25 cents for trees which will retail in the United States for $1 to $3.

On the domestic market ever-ego trces of from four to six feet for home use cost from 50 cents to $3. Larger trees for Sunday schools, hotels, stares. apartment house lobbies and outdoor recreation run from $5 to $10. Tree cutters earn from t6 to ll! a day in the Maritimea in the two-week cutting season, average s10 a day in Quebec and Ontario. but make only so to $8 a day in the Western Provinces.
