From April 16 to Nov. 28 next season four 22,000 -ton Cunard vessels — the Saxonia, Iver - aria, Carinthia and the new Syler vanfa — will make 43 eastbound sailings out of Montreal. The Carinthia and the Syl- vania will run between Mon- treal and Liverpool via Gree. nock, Scotland, while the Saxo- nia and Ivernia will sail re- gularly to Southampton via Le Havre. On her April 24 sailing from Montreal the Ivernia will sail to London (Tilbury) via Le Havre and the Saxonia will have the same ports of call when she leaves Montreal May 8. On several westbound sailings next season Cunard steamers w ill call at Cobh, Ireland, to embark passengers for Canada. Calls at Quebec on eastbound sailings of the Ivernia and Sax- onia, introduced this year for the convenience of passengers wish- ing to ishing'to visit the historic city be- fore embarking for Europe, have proved popular with travellers and the practice will be continu- ed during the 1958 summer sea- son with the same steamers scheduled to stop at Wolfe's Cove. 1N SUNNY ITALY—The famous shape off one of the most breathtaking sights of Rome is the background far languid Cuban actress Chelo, who's known to her appreciative fans as the "Cuban H-Bamb". Vaca- tioning In the Italian capital, she's soaking up the sunshine in the famed Colosseum. WASHINGTON COULDN'T WAiT—But if the leader of Revo- lutionary War forces had, he's have found crossing the Dela- ware a jot easier. Gay Yeager of Newton, Pa., stands in the spot where Washington started the famed winter crossing. Severe drought has brought the river down to where one can wade across it. It normally is 13-15 feet deep. orVer NICLE 1NGERFARM Gweadolt .e P. Clazice Last week was a' week of sur - prices. It began when we were shopping in the vicinity of Ginger Farm,. In one of the stores we met a man — a wid- ower — whom we had known for years and years. He came over to us and said "I have some news for you." I waited anxiously. He continued . . "I know you have always been very good friends of Mrs. , so I thought you might like to know we are getting married next Saturday!" Like to know — we were over-joyed. Two friends of long standing, both past middle -age, both had had a considerable amount of trouble and distress in their separate lives. Now they were to be married. They will enjoy each other's companionship for, we hope, a good many years as both are comparatively well and active. Companionship ... end- ing the loneliness of two sepa- rate lives, Could anything be better? Second marriages late in life are not always desirable, par ticularly if the parties are not well acquainted. Sometimes it happens that a man — or the woman — marries for ulterior motives — for a home, or a housekeeper or for a comfort- able income. Tragic family fric- tion is sometimes the inevitable result. But where a widow and a widower have known each other for years; realize and un- derstand each other's loneliness, then marriage seems a most de- sirable solution — and one that should be welcomed by their grown children. The next surprise was not so pleasant. A phone call from an old neighbour . .. would I come down to see his sister — she was not at all well. Here was a brother and sister, over seventy, sharing a home but neither real- ly able to look after the other. I found an unhappy situation — and so little I could actually do in a day's visit. Nor did I feel any better when the poor little soul said to her doctor — "If this woman (meaning .me) would stay for a month I would soon be on my feet," I came home that night wishing I could be in three places at once as Dee and her family could also do with a little assistance right now, However David will prob- ably be coming for another visit soon and next month we shall have Eddie to take care' of. Friday was a different ex - SALLY'S SALLIE 'Something must be ailing TYIotilmt She se*eter best to your perience altogether. That morn- ing I took the bus into Toronto, had lunch with Dee and the boys, and then off to the Annual Salada Tea given in connection with a competition sponsored by that company and open to W.I. Braiiches across Ontario. This year the competiion took the form of a layette. There were 102. entries. The best had been chosen for display in the Salada Club rooms.. Such wonderful work! Dainty little dresses, smocked nighties, knitted sets and neatly hemmed diapers — all so good I couldn't imagine how the judges ever reached a decision. However they did avid the first prize — $100 — was awarded to Fonthill W.I. Second prize $50 — to Belwoods W.I. There were also ten branches who received honor- able mention. The prize-win- ning entries were all -white. It was impossible to see the work very closely as each one was wrapped in cellophane. How- ever, I rather think the Fonthill entry was hand -sewn. That re- vived a few personal memories. When I was getting ready for my first baby's arrival every- thing I made was hand -sewn. No machine made garments were going on my baby! I still think hand -sewn makes a neat- er and smoother finish' for baby clothes. Unless great care is taken run and fell seams done by machine can be hard and cumbersome. Following the prize awards and brief addresses by F.W.I. President Mrs. James Haggerty and Home Economics Director„' Miss Helen McKercher, W.I. members were the guests of the Salada-Sheriff-Horsey company for^afternoon tea, It was a good cup of tea . I wonder why! We thought the tea was the fin- al touch to a very pleasant of. ternoon. But no, as we came away each guest was presented with a carton about 12 inches square, I had no idea what was in it until I got home. Then I found l had been .carrying around a regular surprise pack- et — cake mix, pie -crust mix, jelly and pudding powders, pie filling, apple jelly, marmalade, prang° juice, flavouring — and of course a packet of tea bags. Can you imagine such generos- ity? $150 in prize money, tea served to approximately a hun- dred guests, plus this lovely surprise packet for each one to take away, It certainly Tooks as if the company goes all out in its efforts to encourage mem- bers fo the W.I. Another pleasant feature of the afternoon was renewing ac- quanitances with W.I. members from 'other parts of the prov- ince, some of whom had come quite a distance. It was easy to pick out the W.L girls at the bus terminal — so many wo- men clutching in their arms a mystery carton 12 inches square! Heavy, but cheerfully carried. Well, I see our next-door neighbours are home. Now I'll be out of my goldfish -baby-sit- ting job. The three little fish survived my anxious care and are still contentedly swimming around in their little glass bowl. Thank goodness for that.
