Berry, Queens land, Australia, has been presi dent of the Associated Country Women of the World since the seventh triennial conference of the ACWW held in TOrOntO, Canada, in 1953. Mrs. R. E. Carley, Howard ACWW chairman, directed a skit that told of Ceylanese cus toms, trades, religion, educa tional system, foods, and the work of the Lanka Manila Sa miti, as the women's groups of Ceylon are known. She .showed a number of articles from Cey lon, including stamps, hand cro cheted tablecloth and miniature Buddha. Also displayed were two saris, native costumes from the far east, purchased by Mrs. D. K. West during her travel in Indian last summer. Mem bers were shown that the sari is not carelessly wrapped or draped around one, as Ameri cans are prone to think, but is carefully pleated and fitted each time it is put on by the women of the east. Taking part in the skit were Mrs. Verl Walker and Mrs. J. S. Lydiard showed a narrative film, "Getting to Know You," which showed scenes from the Toronto conference, and pic tures taken since that date dur ing the visits of the president, Mrs. Berry, to the women's groups of the various nations.

These resourceful women, many of whom live a hundred miles apart, set up a wireless trans ceiver system that has for a number of years provided medi cal aid for the "outback" re gion of southwestern Australia with the aid of the "Flying Doc tors." Now, they hold their meetings via this same radio network. A common sight jn their homes is a child pedalling the transceiver to provide the power while mother "attends" the meeting by radio. A number of the ' pictures were . taken in and around the University of Perideniya, Cey lon, site of the 1956 : ACWW convention, and of the work of the Lanka Mahila Samiti.

Unless, of course, it. is possible- to find any woman who will become nostalgic at the sight of a wooden wash tub or a hand pumped vacuum cleaner that is a combination . of a . churn, an automatic jack and a pogo stick. The annual antiques show at Madison Square Garden keeps expanding to include memora bilia from more nations and knick knacks rescued from mote attics. This year among the 500, 000 items and 200 exhibits are two displays of household equip ment dating back to 1806. An -antique technically is 100 years old or more, but in the field of household gadgets, even a brief 10 years turns an appli ance into an antique in the eye Of most women. So the. sight Of yesterday's "labor-saving" devices has so far brought only shudders and sighs of relief from women touring the antiques show. The round wooden wash tub on display is dated 1606, and has a narrow, saw-toothed wood en washboard attached. Life got brighter by 1889 and somebody painted ' a wondf Ous work-saving washer bright red. It was mechanical, so long as a woman's arm held out. A cra.-dle-like basket fitted inside the wooden bowl. To wash the clothes a woman had to push and pull the basket across the Gold Hill Church Group Hold Monthly Session Gold Hill The Woman's Society of Christian Service held the last meeting at the home of Mrs. Wilbur Martin, Thursday, March 8.

"Mrs.'Hoy Eskey, Mrs. Frank Car ter and Mrs. George Dorman were elected to the nominating committee. If this changes your former preferences . . We'd lite to make a prediction about you. Without reservation, we prophesy that you will revise your fine car standards upward after even a brief personal meeting with Lincoln for 1956. , The reason for our confidence? Simply . this: the pleased people we've watched in our showrooms and the names we've been writing on our waiting lists ever since this completely new fine car made its debut. " We'recertain that you - like these others Equipment Relief curved, eortugated wooden sur face. An elated advertising man named it the "Perfect" washer. Vacuuming the floor must have been fun too. One 19th cen tury vacuum required the wom an to stand in front of a shoul der - high metallic contraption, anchor it to the floor with her feet, and then pump up and down On a leather-sided bellows to suck up the dirt. No wonder women didn't start playing bridge until the 20th century. 4 Three to Attend Portland Meeting This week Mrs. Richard Finch, Medford district chairman Of Girl Scouts, Mrs. Thomas Es linger.
