A Woman's ViewpointIon This and That
By MBA
WE are feeling -kind of lazy
this week—mentally anyway,,
So Instead of scurrying around
to find ideas about 'which to
write, we decided to use a story
we wrote a month ago . . Due
to lack of space in the pre -
Christmas 'issues, it has been
sitting on the bank ever since
(in newspaper language that
means, it has been set in type
and is waiting to.be used) ,
It is the story of a charming
womanand a good friend, whom
success has not changed ,
WE WENT to • the movies on a
'recent Saturday evening ... This,
of course, was not remarkable , , ,
but it was unique in the factthat
I fessional writing career , In
Madrid she met an American,
Floyd Gibbons, "who was one of
the greatest 'American foreign
correspondents and the first
radio commentator . . He and a
number of other correspondents
were on their way to Morocco
to cover the Franco-Riffias war
and, through -his influence, Rose-
mary was accredited to her home
town paper to cover the war
In Morocco. she had several ex-
periences which .proved the basis
for her first successful article.
One was a visit to a Spanish
warship, lying in harbour,
The commander of the ship, per-
turbed that a young woman was
among the visitors, hastily put
it
the picture we saw, "Chicken
Every Sunday," was written by a
friend of ours—Rsoemary Taylor,
It was not a first class picture,
but did make good family enter-
tainment and occasionally it did
bring out that delightful and
subtle humor which . made the
book a best seller several. years
ago
* * *
"CHICKIR;N Every Sunday" was
written mostly in Canada and is
a success story in'the good old
American tradition ., The Tay-
ay-
leen
less -came to Canada from Tuscon,
Arizona, in the early months of
the Second World War,. when
Major Winchombe- Taylor joined
the Canadian Armoured Corps at
Camp Borden Prior to that
time,• they both had been making
a living . as free lance writers ,..
.Free lance writing is a precarious
game; sometimes you are in the
Money and often, not . Rose-
mary had been writing since her
college days; mostly.on one type
of, work -- the light humorous
article . . This kind of writing
has ,one advantage'' or disadvant-
age — 'depending on the : view-
point — in that, the writer must
have facts, usually based on his
own experiences, in order to get'
an idea for a story ....
. 't a s, o
AFTER graduation from col-
ege, Rosemary acted as assistant
dean of women at a California
college and while travelling in
Spain during the college summer
recess, an incident occurred
which started her off on her pro-
in me oraers or the aay inn
anyone going in swimming mu
wear his underwear . . . Appal
ently the boys had been enjoyin
the warm Mediterranean as na
ture intended them to . . S

STORE LAUDED

rs,
One of Clinton's leading busi-
ness* F. B. Pennebaker's Drug
Store, is the subject of an
interesting illustrated article in
the - December _ issue of "The
Shareholder," published by Drug
Trading Co., Limited, It is by
L. E. Douglass, manager of Store
Planning' Division of the firm.
The article says:
et Just to prove that store mod
r. ernization is not confined to t
a larger urban centres, it is ou pleasure to write about the re
$ modelling job done by F. B
'
Pennebaker, Clinton.
The remarkable part of tuff
y change was that all the work
- except the glass installation o
- the front was done by local work
Bran men. This department did her
e; a little with the planning but
J have yet to see the store, either
he
s
n
p
we
afore ar "after", All we have
seen„are the pictures shown an
this page, but from them one can
readily see what a splendid job
work to colieet salvage or take
an extra shift at the canteen,,.
"CHICKEN” put Rosemary in
the "big time" . • A Literary
Guild selection, it sold over
600,000 copies and for one year
put Rosemary in the highest in-
come bracket in the USA .. . In
addition there was revenue from
the Reader's Digest, foreign rights
and a pocket edition . It ran I
on Broadway for a year as a play H
and eventually was sold to
Twentieths Century -Fox for a
quarter of a million _ . , From
the latter huge sum, she receiv-
ed $50,000, the remainder going f
in percentage to the publishers,
the agent and the writers of the N
play . . . • !
+; r,
WE NAVE often wished that ja
Rosemary would use her exper-
iences in Canada as a basis for an
article , .. because some of them!
were funny .. , For instance, the
apartment that her husband and
your editor acquired and Air-
nished before her arrival early
in' 1940 , . The furniture chosen
by the two men (aided by a
zealous salesman) was function-
al :yes—for a four -room apart-
ment, but the color cembirtation
was wicked -- a chrome studio
couch with matching chairs, cov-
ered with fawn mohair with large
bright orange parrots as a pat-
tern . , . If that were not enough b
to kill you, addea•.to it were red r
1 I
pagoda-shapedam shad
It didn't bther Rosemary a bit
.. She continually boasted about
her color scheme •
a *
BEFORE leaving for Canada, , i
all Rosemary's friends in Arizona ,
gave her gifts to help withstand i
the cold Canadian winter -
The inevitable American 'tourist,
appearing at the border in July s
with skits on his car, had nothing
on Rosemary when she arrived
in Barrie with three fur coats P
(two loaned), long woollen
underwear, woollen bed socks, f
bed cap and ear muffs to help t
withstand the cold in an apart -;r
rent .seldom registering under
80 degrees . No one get more- IVI
kick out of all this than Rose- f
amzy herself . And' it should
make a good story . , ,
d Mr'Pennebaker has done.
- . Just note the most attractive
n successful. It could be called e
semi -visual front, the inside of
the store being readily seen from
s the street through the wide door
and the plate glass side lights on
either side of the displays win-
dows, which are "aimed" at on-
- store -front that has proven most
' coming pedestrian traffic.- Also
t note' the whole front is modern,
with recessed awning box and the
name in attractive scroll, on the
store -front. This is the type of
facia.
, Inside, the store is well de-
partmentalized and a new modern
cornice all around provides a
streamlined appearance. This is
'further enhanced by a curtain
wall dropped in line with the
fixtures. Note also the modern
candy case which features that
department. We think this was
also built locally and • was pat-
terned after the popular .Wakely
candy case.
The grand finishing touch is the
floor. More of our members,
should give more attention to
their floors. Quite often the floor
makes the store, and floor cover-
ings of various types are now in
somewhat better supply than they
have been. '
You may think that Mr, Penne-
baker spent •a small fortune on
this job. We don't think he did,
and whatever he ,spent, he is
bound to get back several fold.
He is not a hard man to get along
with and I feel sure he would give
information on his job to anyone
interested enough to write him,

THE VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE
Figures have now been released
disclosing the gallonage of in-
tn'icants consumed by the Can-
adian drinking public for the
year ending March 31st, 1949. The
figures are 6,833,255 gallons
spirits and 175,465,092 gallons
beer. In each case consumption
had •doubled since 1935. If we
'are still capable of being shock -
,ed by enormities of indulgence
then these figures should shock
us into a realization that it is
high time that the policy of in-
creased outlets should give way
an a priliry of increased restric-
tions. Thia folly of drinkinghas
passed all bound of responsibility
and security. It is Huron County's
good fortune that • it is under the
Canada Temperance Act and is
'saved from the menace of liquor
• stares and beer parlors. 8-b
