(U.R) A Yugo slavian displaced person is liv ing a Cinderella story in reverse here but hopes that it will have a happy ending yet. Libusa Cristiaai, an outstand ing operatic singer in her native county, is working as a domestic servant for the privilege of be coming a Canadian citizen. She has to look forward to another seven months of menial labor be fore abandoning her pots and pans to resume an interrupted singing career. Miss Cristiani came here last September. Under immigration rules, displaced women must put in at least one year as domestics before taking up work of their choosing. The tall, shapely singer is con sidered by Conductor H. Bram well Bailey of the Ottawa Grand Opera Company as prospective Metropolitan Opera material. "Miss Cristiani has a very, very good soprano voice," Bailey said. "She needs little training; her need is an opportunity to apply her talent in opera. And, she must learn English." Miss Cristiana, who won ac claim in Trieste and Yugoslavia with her full-bodied voice, spoke no English on her arrival in Canada. Reluctant to sing in the home of her employers for fear of dis turbing the household, Miss Cristiani kept to herself. She gave no hint of her past occu pation. Her retiring manner af forded her little opporunity to learn English. Her employers did not dis cover that she had been a singer in her native land until inform ed by the department of labor, through which Miss Cristiana came to this country. The family, which had to coax her to sing after hearing of her talent, introduced her to Bailey, and recently at a meeting of the Ad and Sales Club here, Miss Cristiana gave her first perform ance in many months. After the brief concert, Miss Cristiana dutifully returned to her work as a maid. During her off hours, how ever, she continues practicing with Bailey. To give prune whip a touch of something new, serve with brandy-flavored soft custard. Foofs Creek WHO IS ALDON?
