So last we yanked our hair up into what we hoped was that smooth, sleek Took. The first morning, though feeling just a trifle, foolish and very self-conscious about the odd straggles that came unstuck at the back, we met the battery of gibe's and wolf whistles with what we pretended was complete uncopcern and which probably didn't fool a soul. After the first shock, the majority of the male staff agreed they liked our "upstairs" hair-do as the city editor put it, and the feminine members followed suit the next day conclusive evidence of their approval. At least we'd come out from behind our typewriter and, practically speaking, it was cool. Our ego was restored completely when several-people came in to see us looked straight at us, and then asked where we were? Actually, after the first day or so we'd gained our point, and as the up way meant leaving our comfortable bed ten minutes earlier of a morning to get the locks liigh and anchored, we went back to being sloppy but comfortable in about a week.

We were just the middle-man, so to speak, in the deal, but it pleases us to pass along the word to MARGARET CHRISTIE, whose picture we had on our front society page last Saturday, that she has been chosen "pin-up girl" of the Navy Mess at Esquimalt and the sailor laddies want an autographed picture Holidaying on the West Shore, LILLIAN MARTIN is taking time out from her operational control job at an air base station in this area. Incidentally she is one of three B.C. girls to hold down such a job.

Bum's Rush For Hope There- is no verification for this story but it is told down the Alcan Highway with relish. One night in one of those boom towns of the glacier country a Mountie walked into a restaurant very late and saw a man slouched over the counter in a completely limp heap. Doing his duty as he saw it, the Mountie grabbed the tousled-looking individual by the shoulder and none too gently heaved him out into the street His face was as scarlet as his dress tunic when he discovered it was gag-man BOB HOPE, who was touring the north entertaining the soldier boys and couldn't find any sleeping accommodation except the coffee counter, that he'd bounced out into the night. Canning Corner With the Canning for Victory Week in full swing, the city's housewives are canning-conscious right about now, and are sharing more across-the-jars wrinkles than a prune has if you can remember what that dried-up simile looks like. Three new ones for the book for sealing were picked up by The Sun's cooking expert, EDITH ADAMS.

One lady told her she can remember sealing her jars with a flour and water mixture on top of thin cotton stretched over the mouths of the jars bun lids then there's the good old-fashioned sealing wax and in some parts of the country, bladders have been used.
