During these years she was a womens page editor handling social news but "I worked in as much outside stuff as I could." One of the outside assignments was an invitation to help publicize an Air League tag day by flying over Vancouver in a Curtis Jenny, a flying death-trap. Everything went smoothly until the pilot, attempting to land, jammed the rudder control. Mrs. Baker said the ancient Jennys sudden plop that May day in 1919 was the first plane crash in Canada involving a woman. One of her regrets is that she wasnt around to see her paper come out with headlines on the accident.

It wasnt until a week later that she recovered consciousness in hospital. NOTABLE JOBS In 1920 she married Mr. Baker, and lived in Edmonton and for a time on a farm near Lethbridge. But for the next 30 years she maintained active membership in the Canadian Womens Press Club by writing free-lance articles. In 1941 the Bakers retired to Vancouver.

"I think the most Interesting speech I ever reported was that given by Sir Wilfrid Laurier during the conscription election of 1917," she says.

"Fifty years ago it was a hard job for a woman with long hours and poor pay, but there was a fascinating stimulation, a constant opening of news vistas in life and I loved it.

It was more than a challenge; it was a satisfaction." Odd Feather On Royal Hat VANCOUVER (CP) The origin of a slender black feather atop the Queen Mothers hat, which started a controversy among reporters covering her stopover in Montreal Tuesday, remained 8 mystery after her arrival in Vancouver Tuesday night. Her Majesty wore a blue hat with a black feather perhaps the same one she wore tn Montreal-? when she stepped from her plane for a 24-hour stopover here. But nobody was quite sure what kind of feather. A Montreal reporter described it as "an egret" product of the white whose feathers are banned in Canada. A few years ago Mrs.

Frank Ross, wife of the lieutenant-governor of British Columbia, wore an egret-trimmed hat to a legis-lature opening and had the hat seized by customs.

Ross said it was raining so hard she didn't get a chance, to see what kind of feather she thought the Queen Mother was wearing. She said the royal entourage had retired.

Terrific Values in Outstanding CALGARY (CP) Natalie Chapman, one of the few women landscape designers in Canada, prefers a comfortable back yard to the impressive front lawn. "Its the back garden that the family is going to use, says Miss Chapman, whose green thumb and practised eye were developed from childhood by her father, who was in the landscaping business for 30 years. She says the back yard must be suited to the individual family to be put to its fullest use. It should be divided into work and play areas.

Shrubs and trees should be tailored for the family. "A family with small boys1 should always have willow trees, she says. "Boys love to climb trees and the laurel leaf willow has strong spreading branches. "Not only that, its a quickgrowing hardy tree with an exceptionally pretty leaf." Her biggest problem is people who want to raise oranges, palm trees, maples or other growths not suited to the Southern Alberta climate. "We have a limited range of plants," she explains.

"People from Vancouver or the East simply cant believe plants they were fond of at home wont survive here. Chinooks the mild winds that blow over Alberta at times from the pacific are to blame for this belief, she saysr They really play havoc with a garden. Last February during a chinook, all the tulips started to bloom and the shrubs to sprout when they had no business doing so.
