_BRAV-E GIRL

"I. ain't afeared of snakes, or wtoads, or bugs, or worms, or ‘mice, an’ things ‘at girls are 3 skeered of I think are awful nice. So wrote the American poet Eu- igene Field of the little boy with ;the braggadocio air.

Well here is a girl, who may or may not be afraid of mice, ;.and certainly she does not '»';seem to be afraid of rats! Her -‘name is Miss Laurdrene Wood ;and she is a daughter of Mr. and }Mrs. Walter Wood, Mt. Herbert. ‘ .Laurdrene is in her final year

in Household Economics at Tor- onto University. She and Miss Sue Mitchell, daughter of Dr. Mitchell of Toronto, have been making diet expeniments on rats. Apparently this rat, in trick up- right position, has had the re- quired vitaminsl

As well as carrying her univ- ersity studies Miss, Wood for the past two years has been a de- monstrator ‘for Moffats of Wes- ton at the Canadian National Ex- hibition. —Photo by Toronto Star Syndicate.

Perry- Como Is

A Fine Person

:§_. Dear Mary Haworth—-I am a ‘E young housewife with three chil- (dren under six years of age. My 1: husband is a barber and has his liown business in this average ntown.

:’_ My health never has been up :to par; and in the past two years it seems to have grown isomewhat worse, and is caused iby a bronchial condition. This has given me cold after cold; rralso Ive had virus attacks every i; winter, virus pneumonia and a ichronic sinus condition.

I have prayed almost con- stantly for good health. About :two months ago I made two prayer novenas for my health, A-after which I consulted a new I doctor, and my own doctor also. ‘ The first doctor advised e to Limove to a drier, warm _cli- " mate, to eliminate the bronchial trouble, which would take care of the colds, ‘sinus infections, etc. My own doctor then told me the same.

Now my problem is: Do I have the right to ask my bus- band to pull up stakes for the sake of my health, and leave a town he‘s always lived in? I know I would be happier in the milder climate, because I would feel better; and I feel that the two doctors’ recommendation is the answer to my prayer.

My husband hasn't definitely said “No." but I know that he doesn’t want to go. But I want good health, so that I may raise my family and enjoy life. Could

Mrs. Ireta ‘Sutherland was in charge of the programme arrange- ments with a committee consist- ing of'Mrs. Mattie Bowness,-Mrs. Amy Rogers, Mrs. Gladys Bruce, Miss Hattie McLaine, Miss Agnes McQuaid and Miss Bessie Prowse.

Mrs. Bowness gave short talk on the International aspects of the Association. This was followed by a candle lighting service led by Mrs. Sutherland.

Three delightful harp selections by Mrs. Susan Haraszthy and a talk on her visit to Germany and other European countries by Mrs. Gladys Bruce added greatly to

the enjoyment of the programme.

you evaluate the situation as you see it, so that my husband may read it, and reach a right decision? S. A.

GOD'S GUIDANCE

Dear S.‘ A.—When God an- swers prayer, or indicates (through human agency) ,the steps to take to find His solu- tion to a problem, He doesn't rob Peter to pay Paul. Proof of the God sent- solution is that it blesses the lives of all whom the course of action affects, when His promoting is followed, re- gardless of seeming “cost" at -the start.

Thus if two reliable doctors have advised you to pull up stakes and settle the family in a sunnier clime — innocently con- curring in this prescription, in the wake of your novenas — I think your husband might well give hospitable consideration to the idea. If he acts unselfishly on your behalf, ' after prayerful preliminary, he may find in later years that it was the soundest move he ever made, in terms of economic growth.

For example, there is the story

This was after he and his wife had finally faced the fact that. in their experience at least, a life on the road, going the rounds of the entertainment circuit, wasn't giving the children inner security. So, in deference to “the good of the greater number,” Mr. Como took the path that seemed to lead to obscurity for him. And where is he now? On top of the entertainment world; loved and resphcted by millions -—as TV’s Mr. Nicest Guy.

Th/is instance of life unfold- ment, as if by Providential help, in a partnership that honors God, surely offers your husband food for wife and children. M.H.

WOMAN‘S ARMY

Dear Mary Haworth—Several times I’ve considered enlisting in the woman's branch of the mili- taryo nly to be discouraged by people who say that 95 per cent of girls in the service have low morals-thereby leaving a nice girl -little opportunity to stay nice.

Just how much of this critic- ism is justified, do you think? My parents feel that army ex- perience would be profitable for‘ me; but they seem to be the only ones who think so. I would appreciate your views. K p. ‘Dear-K. P.-—I’ve no way of knowing what percentage of girls in the military establishment are immoral. But whatever their character, no doubt they took it with them into the uniform. In other words, the army doesn't change folks much on that score.

However, I feel that army service is unsuited to an habit- ually lonely, uncertain type of girl. Wanting companionship, she might yield too readily to the leading of any coterie that would take her in, on their terms-— wheifl those terms might be bad for her. But if you are emotion- ally stable and morally related to good spiritual resources, you’d be as safe in the army as any- where. M. H.

HAPPENINGS -

Patricia Grant Lewis — the «;possessor of a truly sparkling ‘personality is this most brilliant young Canadian pianist. As her ‘name would imply she has Irish, Scottish and Welsh blood in her veins, also an English strain, so that all in all, as she joyously ex- presses it, she is “thoroughly Bri- tish."

Miss Lewis was born in Regina, as was her father whose ancestry is Welsh. Her mother had the dis- tinction to be born in Ireland. What a blending of the tempera- ments and the arts!

Miss Grant's almost entire car- eer has been founded on scholr- ships. She attended public and high school in Regina. Then she came to New York to the J uilliard School of Music and stud- ied with Samaroff and Battista. After that Miss Lewis was in Toronto studying with the famous teacher, Kolessa. ‘ ~

Since Toronto days she has studied with Claudio Arrau and Rudolph Firkusny. Miss Lewis has spent three summers at the Aspen school in California. Her teacher was Arrau. She has also worked with a pupil of Schnabel. She has given concerts in Ger- many, England. New York City and Canada. '

Her teaching career has been with the Conservatory of Music, Ha.milton, and now at the Mt. Allison Conservatory of Music. How fortunate talented Maritime pupils are to have this exponent of the knowledge of great teachers. _

While in Charlottetown to ac- company Mr. James Milligan at his Prince of Wales College con- cert, Miss Lewis was the guest of Miss ~ Katherine MacLennan. The latter entertained at her apartment Monday evening in honour of Miss Lewis.

In conversation Miss Lewis was narrating all the “firsts” in con- nection with this trip. For instance this was her first year in the Maritimes, her first tme on “The Island” the first time she had flown in an M. C. A. plane and the first time she had ridden in a bus in the Maritimes.

Miss Lewis is the sort of per- son.who enjoys life and this in- fectious quality spreads to all fortunate enough to be in hei- company. Also as_ a top-ranking young Canadian artist all Canada is proud of Patricia Grant Lewis.

Miss Dorothy Darrach, whose’ marriage takes place today, has been very pleasantly entertained.

On Monday evening, Miss Ele- a_nor Carson was hostess at a de- lightful shower for Miss Darrach at the apartment of the Misses June and Shirley Spence.

On Wednesday evening Mrs. Nellie Nicholson was hostess to the present and many former,

members of the office staff of Canada Packers when Miss Dar- rach who has been a valued‘ em-

ployee was the recipient of many beautiful gifts.

Again on Friday relatives of Miss Darrach were entertained at

aprettily arranged afternoon tea at the home ofher cousin Mrs. Malcolm Beck, when a shower of lovely gifts were received by the bride to be.

Susan Haraszthy’s harp-playing has again charmed a Charlotte- town audience. This time the oc- casion was International Night as observed by the Business and Professional Women's Club at the dinner meeting. held at the Charlottetown Hotel!

Mrs. Haraszthy‘s numbers were the harp interlude Ponizettfs op- era, Lucia di Lammermoor and Schwecker’s Mazurka. For an en- core Mrs. Haraszthy captivated her audience still more with her exquisite performance of Poen- 'tz's Music Box.

Mrs. Haraszthy, the most gifted woman harpist in Hungary, had this interesting piece of informa- tion. The finest harps are not made in Europe but in the new land, the United States. Lyon and Healey in Chigago make a harp, that is unexcelled. As Mrs. Haras- zthy, the harpist, said of this firm: “They have a secret agent harps which no one else poss ss- es.”

Among the excellent speakers for the evening was Mrs. W. G. Bruce, who professes to be a new- comer in this field. Mrs. Bruce spoke on her trip last year to Great Britain and Contihent. Mrs. Bruce quite enthralled her aud- ience. She had a fund of informa- tion and an individual style in delivering it. One enjoyed the travelogue and admired the loyal character of Mrs. Bruce in visit- ing the war graves of Islanders. Then there was the sheer good entertainment in hearing Mrs. Bruce tell of her experiences at Madame Taussaud’s and her sen- se of accomplishment in master- ing the travel routes of the Lon,- don tube. International Night at the B. and P. is one well to be remembered.

"Only some rabbit tracks—- that’s all I saw. You know what they're like!" Mack said this eve- ning reporting on “we after-school excursion which had taken him on foot along the fields to join the men at the work in the woods ...We had watched Iiim go, a small dark figure amid the wide white of the open farmlands be- tween. H: kept to " winter road which winds interestingly now back to far places of the farms.

A winter road along the fields tells folks who understand the ways of the farming, tales of compost heaps building, rich in those elements of nitrogen and suchlike which go to replenish and restore the dc_":ted crop-lands. To make the June-haylaunds smile to put sturdy gold in the grain- fields, and maintain a healthy sod on the pastures to nurture the herds and the flocks.

It tells too of Meccas of woodsy spots and the harvest drawn therefrom to be fragrant and clean fuel for the stoves of the farmwives. And remembering tales we have read of some Eur- opean women who must glean in- dustriously to gather even a bunch of fagots, we think with some unease of the abundance of this Canadian land, where on some Island farms-even on ours- in woodlands, much fuel that in necessity could be gathered, is left to “moulder in" decay” and thus return again to Mother Earth “I was ‘ opi..g we might uncov- er a flying squirrel, holed up in some hollow tree ” Mack contin- ued. “But”, he shook his head, “no such luck yet! And it's only an odd time there in the hard- woods I’ve even heard a red squirrel. They live mostly where there are “var" and spruce and

Granddauflhter giggled “That reminds me of a joke about a squirrel, I read the other day,” she observed. “It seems that a dear old lady sat watching one of those TV commercials, in which two little squirrels“ row a boat, sing a song, dance, and counts dozen items neatly packeted in a box. She turned in wonder- ment to her husband and declar- ed, “I just don’t see how they can train those little rascals to do the likes of that! It’s quite be- yond me” she said.

Mack’s laugh joined Grand — daughter's.
