Party of Canada.

The Drews have only recently ac- quired their two-and-a-half-room suite in The Roxborough, in Ottawa. It leaves much to be desired in the eyes of the =new leader's wife. who looks forward to a home of their own to house eleven-year-old Edward and eight-year-old Sandra- a house where informal entertain- _ ing_of the members and their wives. and their other friends, will be pos- sible. "We enjoy doing that so mu'ch," says Mrs. Drew.

Wife Views

--But Not With Alarm

By Iluth V. ~

G. Campbell

It's pleasant to linger before an open fire on a brisk spring morn- ing, when the sunshine outside is brilliant but cold-particularly pleasant. in the’ added warmth of spontaneous friendliness which radiates from Mrs. George Drew, the much-discussed wife of the much-discussed new leader of l-Iis Majesty's Loyal Opposition, the Progressive Conservative

Mrs. Drew's view as to union's part in matters political has had ample opportunity to crygtglllzg during the past few weeks, when she has been meeting hundreds of people in all parts of Canada, and speaking to many of them. How- ever. she niesses that the per- sonal contacts after meetings mean more to her than any speech she may make. And as a rule. except on such rare occasion as her speech to the Women's Canadian Club in Winnipeg several months ago, her

BlG HOUSING PROGRAM

STOCKHOLM --(CP)-— Sweden's 1949 housing program provided for construction of 38,000 new units. some 60 par cent of the municipal- ities will receive increased building quotas. Centres where industries

are located will receive 8.000 apart- merits.

ment in The Roxborough has taken on tho lived-in look which a hand- ful of spring flowers, the odd photo- Kraph, a few well-read books-mot to mention a mistress who has a flair for creating the atmosphere of home around her-will give to the utmost impersonal of dwelling places.

As to that matter of home-mak- ing -— being a leader's wife, as Florenza Drew sees it, is not a whit different from being the wife of George Drew, private citizen -- or any other wife, for that matter. "lt's tracking around and keeping George really comfortsbl. picking up his shirts and socks, all that sort of thing. It's a travelling salesmavfs life, you know —‘ and if

I'm along, I can do the things wives do for their husbands. To me making speeches is second y and incidental."

Not quite so secondary, nor‘ incl- dental, is our mental reservation- for the mobile charm of Mrs. Drew's expressive face, the restrained elo- quence of her well-moulded hands, complement a speech which is flu- ent, simple, yet never repetitious. always worth listening to. Yet the lady insists "That is too much em- phasis on the fact-that I speak- and yet I very seldom speak poli- - tlcally_ Naturally." with a quizsicai moue, "I insinuate occasionally "ill our party is the best, but of course, I'm prejudiced."

talks are not prepared. "I coma in with a few words after George," she sums it up modestly. And at such times, she likes to wait for the reaction of the gathering and to speak externporaneousiy. "It is easy to be spontaneous." she adds, "be- cause people everywhere are so terribly enthusiastic about what the Progressive Conservative Party is trying to do-they are so keen about this country and all it has to offer them."

Herself young and vital, Mrs. Drew's interest in the young people of Canada in general, the Young Progressive Conservatives in par- ticular, goes without saying.

Guide-Parent Banquet at Trinity Hall

The Ladies of the Junior Wom- ens Auxiliary of Trinity Church gave a lovely banquet to the Guides and mothers of the 6th and 7th Charlottetown Company. ‘The tables looked really beautiful with vases of tulips on all tables. Mrs. Harry Cudmore, diplomaki Guider and _Captain of' Trinity Company, pre- sided. Seated at the head table were, the Guide Prov. Commis- sioner, Mrs. J.G. MacDonald, Dr. and. Mrs. Dudley, Dr. and Mrs, _R.ice, Prof. Kendall. Brig. W.W. Reid. Mrs. Cudmore, Miss I. Ar- ‘senault (Div. Commission»), Mrs. EEG. Hutoheson, Dis. l‘ ‘slisslon- ‘er, Mrs. ELM. Bagnall, Dis. Com- missioner, Miss L. Duchemin. Pub- lic Relations, and Mrs. RB. Jen- kins, Field secretary.

Grace was said by Dr. Rice and the King proposed by Mrs. Oud- more who also expressed pleasure at th¢ numbers present. duets were rendered by Joan Mo- Guire-Jean Tweedy, Maureen Bo- halioer-lNsncy I-lyndnlan, Helen _Chappell and Marjorie Picket-d, in a very pleasing manner.

Guides responsible for proposing the toasts carried out their duties in a very impressive lwsy and are to ‘be highly congratulated for their excellent vocabulary and clearness of speech. All spoke re- anarkably well and I am sure that much thought and timg had been given to training. Norma Jean Al- lan proposed a toast to the Church and said “how fortunate and proud they were to be part of the Church life". Dr. Dudley responded by saying how much impressed he was with the toast by Norms Jean and also emphasized that the Church could not run without the support of the mothers and daughters. Jo- hanna MacDonald proposed toast to mothers and daughters with Mrs. Bohaker responding. Anne Gerry and Francis Henderson gave a quit, talented performance oi tap dancing. Joan MoKinnon pro- posed a toast to the Boy Scouts Organisation and Brig. W.W. Reid reqaonded who said, "It was always a pleasure and a privilege to work

and in future hoped that still fur- ther co-operation would be pos- sible.

All the Guides joined in sing- ing ‘The Lass of Richmond Hill" and th, Chalet Song. These were the songs that we're recently, sung in the Musical Competition and I felt that the girls sang them even better than when singing in the competition. Mrs. Oudmore spoke briefly to the parents and detail- ed some of the work necessary to become a First Class Guide. Joan Marie McGuire followed by read- ing an essay on the "History oi Bidding". This is a part of the first class test and had been ex- tremely Iwell prepared. Guiding was dealt with from its inception. Maureen Bohaker proposed a toast to the Girl Guide Association. Mrs. J.G. MacDonald, Prov. Com- missioner. replied Ln her usual charming manner. She referred to the splendid record of the 7th ‘Trinity company alumina out- standing leadership that they were so fortunate in possessing, having Mrs. Cudmore. leader. and two Gold Cord Gulders, Miss Louise Avard and Margaret McL-ennon as lieutenants. Parents oi the Guides were thanked for the support the! so willingly gave their daugthers and the interest that was obvious- ly shown in the Guide work. Sup- port from parents was so neces- sary and so helpful and encour- aging to a Guide, said Mrs. Mao- Donald.

Joan Tweedy thanked Mrs. Mac- Donald and enrolled appreciation to 011g Junior Womens Auxiliary so; us, lovely banquet. Mrs. 1G. l-lutcheson, president of the Au:- illsry, and also Guido Oommis- sioner. said what s. pleasure it had been to help and that she hit that the Young Peoples Organisations did. much good towards pron-loll!!! good future cltlseno.

An impressive ceremony of badge presentation and enrollment with the Gudles in horseshoe tonna- tion followed. Colours were march- es on hyJreds lloCulium. Nancy Hyndsnan and Maureen Bohaker. Three recruits were enrolled by Mrs. Oudnsolo with llrs._MoDou- aid assisting. They were recruits,

iisrotliy liix Says- (Continued from Page 2)

is ourself, so face the bitter fact that this man over whom you are breaking your heart doesn't love you. doesn't want you. is tired to death of you. No man has to experiment with his emotions to know how ho feels towards a girl. If he is really in love, it breaks out on him like the measles and he can't hide it. _

Be wise enough and brave enough to break with your fiance who has ceased to desire you. It will hurt, but it will not be the heartache that being an unwanted wife is.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am a girl of 15, very much in love with s. boy of 18. Everything would be fine if he would only work, but all ho does is to ride around on an old bicycle and dead-best his food. He has had several good jobs, but he never sticks to them, and if he work- ed in a pie factory, he would stay there until he got his stomach full. Then he would lay off until he got hungry again.

I can't wait all my life for him to straighten up and make some- thing of himself. What would you advise me to do?

SALLY ANN’!

ANSWER: 'Well, Sally Anne, being a practical-minded person my- self, I would strongly advise you not to waste any more time on your deadbeat sweetie. Love is, of course, s beautiful and romantic thing. but, unfortunately, we cannot exist on romance alone. We get hungry and crave beeisteaks more than we do sentiment.

A husband who is allergic to work is a mighty poor bot. At: tho age of 15 you need not be in any hurry about getting married, and let me urge you to pick out a good provider when you select your mate.

DEAR. MISS DIX: I have gone with the same man for more than 20 years. I love him and I think he loves me. He needs me and I need him. Don't you think he should marry me so we could love and cherish each other? l-le is a sweet, devoted lover, but he has never asked me to marry him. He comes to see me all the time and is jealous if I go out with anyone else. How can 1 force him to propose? I am sick of his stalling. LONESOME AND PANICK!

ANSWER: I don't wonder that you are lonesome and panicky, and assuredly you are also lacking in good, hard, common sense if you have wasted 20 good years on a man who not only has not popped the ques- tion, but who is also serving notice on you right now that he is ncver go- ing to do it.

There is no use in asking why he doesn't do it, because the answer to that is obvious. He is utterly and entirely selfish. He wants your companionship. but he doesn't want to pay for it by supporting you, or curtailing his freedom. lvlave some sense and drop him.
