Previous to the wedding several racial functions were held for the bride-elect. On Sepernber 30 Mrs. Ethel Stewart was hostess at her home in Wingham when members of the kitchen and laundry staff of Wingham General Hospital pre- sented her with many useful mis- cellaneous gifts. " On ,October 6 friends and neigh- bors gathered in the Sunday School room of Auburn United Church and after a short program and con- tests; Joan Mills read an address and many lovely gifts were pre- sented to Miss Plunkett. The following evening her aunt, Mrs. BO)) Bogie, entertained the relatives when she was again the recipient of a number of gifts, and a very pleasant social evening was spent, Cosmetic Jars Are So Much Lighter Tall bottles, small bottles, slim bottles, fat bottles jostle each other on the supermarket shelves. And they're no longer merely tall, small, slim or fat. They come in unique variations and new lines, and they're contoured for easier hand- ling. This quiet revolution in packag- ing is seen most clearly in that corner of the store where you find the liquid detergents. These com- parative newcomers on the kitchen scene are no longer packaged' in Cinderella rags, They've blossomed forth in a new guise. Instead of using conventional materials the designer works with easily molded polythene, a material that opens up possibilities for original designs. He can create such things as a white whale bottle to hold bubble bath and brighten up the bathroom. The housewife Is influenced in- directly by pleasing shades, and of course color can be molded into these plastic containers, She is probably more directly pleased by their practical aspects. They re- sist denting, They're unbreakable. They don't rust and leave a ring on ,the counter or on the bath, and they don't leak. Cosmetic firms have seen the ad- vantages of this packaging. As well as being lightweight and unbreak- able it is now attractive as well. And this aspect is one that cos- metic manufacturers consider im- portant. Hand lotion dispensers and deodorant sprays have become popular by using a lining for poly- thene bottles manufacturers are now able to handle colognes and other liquids liable to evaporate. The traveller already has exper- ienced the practical benefits of transferring creams and lotions from the heavy jars into 'light- weight containers that may be bought in the local drugstore. there's a Homelite Chain Saw with Proven Power! 40 Extra light . « scientifically balanced for easy handling.
