Canadian Dollar Weakened
By ReyaIuation Rumor
BY the Assoe;o.ed Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The price Of
the Canadian dollar may drop still
further in the free market despite
the belief in informed quarters that
rumors of ofiicial revaluation are
unfounded, money dealers said to-
day.
The Canadian currency closed at
95 United States cents after selling
down to 94h United States cents
early Friday. This compares with the
official price, established by the Ca
madam Foreign Exchange Control
Board, Of 100 United States cents.
Foreign exchange brokers fatty
blame the revaluation rumor as the
main reason for the present weak
ness In Dominion money.
Two other facts, they added, are
at work:
First, the source of supply of Ca
madam dollars has tended to in
crease since Canada oficially re-
valued its money from 90 United
States cents to par in July.
Second, demand for Canadian dol
lars. which comes in large part from
United States tourists, has slackened
since the travel season passed its
summer peak.

several banks, will attend the hear
ing before the Securities and Ex-
change Commission in Philadelphia
on December II, on the company's
amended plan for simplification of
the holding company system, it

.1,7S5 individuals, trusts, estates,
charitable organizations, general
companies and insurance COM

Provisions of the amended plan
for the issuing of one share of 3.6
per cent Potomac Electric Power
preferred, par value $50 and cumu-
lative dividends at the annual rate
of 3.6 per cent; also three and a
half shares of Potomac Electric
common, par value $40, for each of
the w. r. g. E. preferred shares.
Railway & Electric officials con-
slider the plan fair to the preferred
shareholders, as well as to holders
of the units of the common stock,
who are included in the proposed
transfer of securities.
Store Sales Above Year Ago.
Department store sales in Wash
ington for the week ending Novem-
Der 2 were per cent ahead of the
comparable week year ago, the
Richmond Reserve Bank reported,
adding that there was no change
from the previous week this year.
Cumulative sales for four weeks
ended November 2 were per cent
above year ago. While sales are
still ahead of 1945, the gain is not

der review and 10 per cent in the

country's leading educational IN
stitutions and learned societies.
They had come to join with Sweet
Briar's student body, faculty and
alumnae in paying honor to the
slim, 33-year-old educator, who sue
ceeded DR.. Meta Glass as the head
of this liberal arts college for
women.
Studied in Paris.
Sweet Briar's youthful philosopher
president, who is the only child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert H. Lucas, 140
Hesketh street, Chevy Chase, Md,
and the granddaughter of Mrs.
Mary M. Lasch of the same address,
received her master of arts degree
in psychology from the George
Washington University in 1885. She
holds her bachelor of arts degree
from Goucher College and is its
first graduate to become a college
president. Her graduate work was
done at Johns Hopkins and at the
Sorbonne in Paris. Before taking
her present post, she was associate
dean of Radcliffe College.
Bishop Beverly Tucker. president
of Sweet Briar's board of overseers,
who inducted Miss Lucas into office
spoke of her as the unanimous
choice of the committee. He also
referred to her, "as a scholar who
was in sympathy with the ideals OF
Southern tradition"
DR.. Lucas speech of acceptance
called for "a true laboratory OF de-
mocracy with every group-stu-
dents, staff, faculty, alumnae and
overseers." After dwelling on the
confusion in modern education, she
concluded by asking her audience
Can education succeed in making
us citizens of one world and one
humanity? Can the rays OF edu-
cation penetrate the iron curtain
around each of our minds-the iron
curtain of selfishness, ignorance and
prejudice?"
What the student body at Sweet
Briar thinks of their new presi-
dent is illustrated by the comment
of a soft, slow-spoken Georgia
sophomore: "You can see for your
self that she is as good looking as
Ingrid Bergman. And besides looks
she has just everything"
DR.. Lucas has lovely blond hair
deep blue eyes, fringed with long
black lashes, and a complexion
which does not depend on cosmet-
les for it's warm coloring. A ready
smile accompanies her natural poise
and graciousness.
