Queen Elizabeth Is Planning Her Wardrobe For Royal Tour

By Muriel Nari-away Canadian Press Staff Writer

LONDON. (CP)-A host of per- sonal chores and decisions confront the Queen these days, typical of the problems facing persons leav- ing home on a long trip.

Packing is to be done to fit I schedule of varied activities, cli- mates and means of travel. Pres- ents have to be bought for the family that will be celebrating Christmas without her.

As she did on her Canadian tour, the Queen will probably include I lot of ballet-length evening dresses, easier to wear and less bulky than the embroidered crinolines she has made famous.

Already packed are crinoline, hat and shoe boxes and the heavy, crested black and brown leather suitcases that'have been in the Windsor family for more than a generation. Appended are lists de- tailing contents and position in- side.

l One subsidiary problem has been that. as usual, the Queen has less freedom to change a chosen outfit than most of her subjects. That is because the clothes and color she lwill wear at a certain function are indicated to closely-concerned lwonten well ahead of time. The custom prevents wives of officials 'and diplomats from the embarrass-

ment of choosing something clash- 'j

ing or closely indentical. l The knowledge goes. however, to

His Persislenl In-Law Son-ln-Law Resenls Wifeis Mother Dlcfaling Rules For His Home

DEAR MLISS DIX: since our marriage a. year ago, my wife and I nave lived with her mother, a. widow of 60 with no income, though she

owns the house in which we live.

My wife has supported her mother

for the past; few years. My mother-in-law considers herself the head of our household; nothing can be done without her permission. She runs the budget, decides what friends we should entertain, how we should

spend our spare time, etc. My wife

is used to this boxing! and goes a-

long with it, but it's something new to me. We've

cept our affairs. one side of the to some life of

I realize that I am presenting only story, but I do feel we are entitled our own.

TOM K. roa PROBLEM

ANsW'EE.: When a son or daughter is respon- sible for a completely dependent parent-whether

is for emotional or moral support-

the fact is usually quite well known to a prospective mate. The coniplication should be thoroughly thrash-

ed out. before marriage, and any compromise settled then. No such situation is eased after the wedding bells' peal has died down: if anytiimg, it becomes worse, and the time to face it is before,

not after a third party enters the so

lane.

The arrangement of your household is so thoroughly established that you will never be considered anything but an intruder into a, moth- er-daughter relationship. The problem might be resolved with the ar- rival of a fourth party. Should your wife have a child, a. financial read- ndjustmeni, at least, would be necessary, since your wife couldn't con-

tinue to work and care for a baby,

If you should be blessed witih the deterrnination to take a firm stand in your domestic entanglement, it would be the best thing you could do

is that you won't be too successful in any attempt to

vstablisii yoiiiself as head of the house. The matriarch influence has been too deeply imbedded and nothing short of your absolute insistence

will change it.

That Body Of Yours

l ENRICHING THE LIFE SPAN OF THE ELDERLY

There is no question but that old age pensions (social security) mean much to the elderly and to their families. In former days, despite the fact that a man or woman had worked faithfully for many years and raised or helped raise the fam- ily, there came ii time when the family found it difficult to support them and. ,while not forgetting their former worth and help, had to struggle to make ends meet. While this was hard on the family, it was harder still on the aging indi- vidual.

We can readily see that with the old age pension or social security. the elder individual today feels less of a dependent on his family and is that much happier for this reason. However. despite his or her contri- bution to the family expenses, there is more than the financial or secur- ity aide to growing old.

In "Geriatrics," the journal de- voted to research and clinical study of the diseases of aging, Dr. Orin R. Yost, medical director of the Edgewood Sanitarium Foundation. Orangeburg, south Carolina, states that many elderly people (sen- escenfs) are forced to retire from their work before they should. It has often been proved that many are still fully capable of executing skills and. if employed, can render additional years of valuable ser- vices. Taking 65 as the average age of retirement, while there are many who really should retire be- fore this age, others are just as productive as younger people, they do better work because they are more careful and do not have as

continue to work. for an occupation means prestige, sustenance, an op- portunity for social contacts. as well as an assurance against loneli- nea and idleness. Regular employ- ment is preferable to the small money benefit paid under Social Security."

Many individuals greatly fear the approach of old age and, even after old age arrives. appear un- able to believe it and adjust them- selves to it.

I write frequently on this theme because the old age group is larger than any other one group and the percentage is increasing as the years pass.

Dr. Yost sugguts the establish- ment by the state, designed to meet the needs of the aging group, re- gardless of their types of infirmity, of a large number of units where both the married and the unmar- ried are housed, preferably in a rural district close to a general or psychiatric hospital. In thl.s institu- -tion there would be programs of on- cupational. recreational and medi- cal treatment," hobby quarters, .

, workshop, beauty shop, vegetable

and flower gardens. The thought is to go beyond social security, bgng. ficial in so many ways, and en. rich the lengthened life span of the elderly man and woman.

OM Iood way to remove wall paper is to stir a quart of flour paste into a. pull of hot water, then apply this mixture to the paper. Being thick, it will not dry quickly, but will saturate the paper. which can then be termed or peeled off.

To remove the moisture from a broad box. place the electric broad toaster in the box for a. in min- utu and close the cover as far as the electric card will permit. The host. will absorb every bit of the moisture and the box will be thor- oughly dried. ' '

A reception was held at the home of the bride's parents where a buffet lunchern was served to 150 guests. The dining room was decorated with pink and white bells and streamers for the occas- ion.

And now all the sheaves of this "place" in the road” "have been thrgshed. Barn-lofts, new and old have received their niplement of straw. and what James considers to be "enough grain to see the boy through ,"ths stsbling-seuon ahead, rests now in his granary.

And so we came to one of our leisurely days, surprised ,even a bit lonely to find that the noon-meal and that of the dusk required no extension of table to accommodate our number. James himself was missing as was the little lad of this Family, they having gone on an outing to Alderlea on a mission of fencing and incidentally to take stock of any new faces about: the calf new-brought, if it be "a light- iah red or darker" and the in- crease of piggeries there. For now the fall litters are arriving-by night and by day. to continue. though of course only in modest fashion, a cycle of husbandry main- tained there desplte discouraging or stronger markets down through many a year.

Rob went to tidying the base- ment in preparation for the potato-digging which will come, it may be, before the harvest has been completed . . . Only patches of acreage were planted to these, both here and at Alderlea. but we remember there are sizable pieces of roots to be gathered to barn- cellars before the winds blow too bitterly "along the wild moors."
