Victor by F- Flnley. A. R. C. A. is of especial enterest in this province. The pic- ture is explained in the following manner: "coinage was scarce in the little village of Charlottetown this year of 1836, and the citizens griunbled as the value of an English shilling rose by a sixpence. It was a nuis- ance to be without enough coins to trade at the market and at the fish wharves. Notes were being written by hand and passed from customer to green grocer, but they become lost and blurred. Paper money of doubtful value appeared. It was in March of that year when William Fitzpatrick, a thrif- ty shoe maker in the town. de- posited specie in the official trea- sury to the amount of several hundred pounds. Back in his little shoe shop he then laboriously cut and tooled out a large quantity of leather notes of small value using tough sole leather for the purpose. He made only the equivalent of his deposit in the treasury. I-Ila notes became as "good as gold" and for many months Fitzpatricka leather money eased the difficul- tyof local Charlottetown trading. The leather notes were accepted by the fisherman and fanner alike, and many a transaction in those far off days in Canada's Maritimes was paid for by Fltzpatrick's leath- er. In due time the notes were re- deemed by this energitic shoe maker and his gold returned by the treasury. The notes were in use for some little time. but coinage continued scarce until X872 when the local Legislature introduced the declin- al Currency we know now." Mr. I-Iugh Joseph, Manager of R.C.A.

Toronto's plucky 17-year-old swimmer who twice has stroked her way through turbulent waters to fame. is Canada's woman-of-the-year. for the second consecutive year. The golden-haired schoolgirl, as much admired for her modesty as for her swimming prowess, was chosen C in ii a d as outstanding woman for 1955 in a Canadian Press poll of Canadian daily news- paper women's editors. Miss Bell. who gave prestige to Canada last year when she became lthe only person to conquer frigid ;Lake Ontario, made history again last July 31 when she became the -yoiingest to swim the English chan- nc . Her victory over the treacherous 21-mile stretch won her interna- tional fame and Canadals woman- of-the-year title a second time. ONLY ONE NEWCOMER Only one of the five women voted 1955's outstanding leaders in their fields is a newcomer to the poll. She is Gabrielle Roy. a Montreal author who topped the literature and art division. Miss Roy. who won the 1947 Gov- ernor-General's Award for fiction wiui her first book. "The Tin Flute," won acclaim tthis year for her latest novel. "The Cashier." It is the story of a timid, nervous Montreal bank cashier who regards himself as a profound thinker on deep subjects but his mind is stocked only with catch phrases from the newspapers. Reviewers say the deep under- equate rest. you can be a vital slim girl. Marilyn Bell Once More Is Woman Of The Year standing for the poor and unhappy that Miss Roy reveals has given her writings a distinction unique in Canada. CA PITAL'S MAYOR HONORED Reigning in public affairs is Ot- tawa's fiery Mayor Charlotte Whit- ton; in music. Toronto soprano Lois Marshall and in stage, screen. and radio, Frances Hyland. This is the fifth year in a row that 59-year-old Mayor Whitton has been named to the poll. As the fear- less chief administrator of Can- ada's capital city she was woman- of-the-year from 1951 to 1953. She took over top spot in public affairs last year. Lois Marshall's performances this year at New York's Town Hall. with the Toronto Symphony Or- chestra and in concerts in the U. S. and Canada have tightened her hold on the top spot in the music field. Critics raved about every per- formance and C ” women named her their leading artist for the fourth consecutive year. Regina-born Frances Hyland who thrilled critics during her second season with the Stratford Shake- spearean Festival last summer also made her second appearance on the poll. The petite blonde actress who was lured back to Canada from the London stage. was acclaimed this year for her portrayal of Por- tia in "The Merchant of Venice." Later she joined The Canadian Players for their I955-56 tour of the U. S. and Canadkin Bernard Shaw's "Saint Tfoan ELEANOR ROSS WARDROBES for airplane travel these days are neat, streamlined and smart. Keeping in mind lugg- age limitations of 44 pounds for budget flights and 66 pounds for the luxury flights. it is wise to plan around one basic color. That way. acessories. such as shoes and handbags. the weight items. are kept at a minimum. Navy, gray or beige are each and all goodl hues. Personally, we like navy. since it is easy to brighten it with touches of white or red and it is always smart. For travel wear, choose a good town suit, one that is as right on route as it is in any city. which means a well-fitted, but softly tailored classic. with this. wear a coat carefully selected to go with dressier things as well. It is wise to carry an extra coat, the all-weather kind. which serves as an alienate for wear in rainy weather. As for packables, a couple of sweaters in white nylon or Orion wash in a jiffy. require no shap- ing and. if of good quality. always look smart. A few white blouses. also of synthetic fabrics, weigh al- most nothlng and emerge from suitcase uncrushed, uua pied. oven the dressiest type. A nylon print or two is a good idea.

FOR OPEN HOUSE Fortunately. for Open House cu- tertainment on New Year's Day it is customary to supply only something to drink and an inter- esting unfrosted cake to pass with it, such as angel or sponge cake. of fruit cake. Provide a choice of tea, coffee and-or New Year's eggnog. IMPORTANT TASK The making of the eggnog used to be a most important task, but as with many other specialty food items. -'-- alcoholic eggnog can now be purchased from the dairy. Itls an easy matter to set the refreshment table with the tea and coffee service. slice the cake in half-pieces and arrange it neatly on plates covered with paper doll- ies. The eggnpg should be well-chilled. If a little eggnog is left over, the Chef recommends using it. in- stead of milk. in making a soft custard sauce, or in place of half the milk in baked custard. It also can be used in making a chiffon pie or a dessert souffle.
