The united support given the
Canadian governments recently i'm
posed austerity program is note
worthy in the opinion of Mrs. Leon
Koyle of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan,
who was born and reared here.
With her husband, a real estate
and investment broker in the larg-
est wheat growing province in Can
ada, Mrs. Koyie Is visiting her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick A.
Eckstein of 1861 Eighteenth street,
NV. Her father, a golf enthusi-
asst at 80, was postmaster of the
United States Senate for 10 of his
so years in Uncle Sans service.
I'VE are short American dollars in

time, our trade with other parts of
the British Commonwealth contin-
ues without restrictions.
New Look Comes Slowly.
The ban upon women's ready
made clothing from the States has
considerably delayed "the new
look" in already conservative West
ern Canada, but 1--WE shall probably
achieve it to some extent by this
spring or summer" Mrs. Koyle said.
The ban on imports of American
permanent wave lotions is pinching
Canadian women the hardest. In
fact, the hue and cry against this
restriction has become so widespread
Ottawa may do something about it.
On the other hand, when the
prices of butter and meat began
skyrocketing in comparison with
wartime levels, Canadian women
took the leadership in having con-
trolls imposed. Today in Mrs.
Koyle's part of Canada the cost of
these two items Is so per cent lower
than 1t is in Washington, nor are
black market evils anticipated be-
cause of the well-organized vig-
lance of local women's groups in CO.

tional councils.
Pipe tobacco may be imported
from the United States, but cigars
and cigarettes are strictly banned.
Canadians have had their travel
allotment of money cut from $500
to $50 each.

Saskatchewan winters constitute a

angle.
incidentally, the Koyles felt the
cold in Washington more than they
did in Saskatoon, where their home
overlooks the Saskatchewan River
and average winter temperatures
range from 10 to As degrees below
zero.
"Our houses are necessarily In
sulated, weather stripped and
storm -windowed against our dry
cold. At. our elevation Of over 1,600
feet above sea level we seldom have
a humidity problem" Mrs. Koyle
said. "High-collared fur coats in
terlined with chamois, high goloShes
and warm gloves with little empha-
sis upon the bare-headed vogue are
comfort factors with which FASH
ions must contend
In the Koyles' part of Canada
practically every school has its own
outdoor skating rink as part Of its
winter physical exercise program.
Lighted at night, these Kinks are an
integral part of community get
togethers.
Children in Western Canada learn
to skate almost as matter-of f-factly
as they do to walk or run. A note
which the Koyles' 4h-year-old
grandson, Garvin Koyle, had his
mother write to his grandmother
says, II went to the school rink by
myself today. A big boy put on my
skates for me and I skated all alone
for a long time" Skates are gem
orally attached TO skating boots IN
Saskatoon.
Skiing, ice hockey, snowshoe
racing and the ancient Scotch game
of curling are other features OF
winter school programs and COM
munity contests.
School sessions are longer than in
most parts of the United States,
with a 9-to-. schedule generally
obtaining. American history Is
taught in all grades.
University Does Work Well.
The Koyles are proud OF the
University of Saskatoon and Of its
eminent research professors. 1t Is
active in extension work throughout
the province.
AS Josephine Eckstein. Mrs. Koyle
was graduated from Central High
School and from Wilson Normal
School, now the Wilson Teachers
College. Until her marriage to Mr..
Koyle, whom she met on a sum-
mer vacation at Lake Muskoka, near
Toronto, she was a teacher In the
elementary public schools OF that
city. She has been leader In
women's groups in the country OF
her adoption. i
The Koyles have three sons, all Of
whom served the Allied cause with
distinction. Jack, lieutenant in the
Royal Canadian Navy, received the
Distinguished Service Cross from
the King of England for his part In
helping land United States forces at
the AnNo beachhead. He now is
manager of the Bird Chemical Co.

u. TO REPAIR
"THE KNOLL"
Home of Three College Presi-
dents at Newark Not To
Taken Down
USED AS DORMITORY

The University of Delaware has
decided to repair, rather than re-
place, the frame building known as
'.The Knoll" home of President
William S. Carlson. Because of
the uncertain condition of the TO
year-old dwelling, the University's
trustees launched an investigation
of 'The Knoll's" structural de-
fects. AS result, the grounds
and buildings committee of the
board of trustees this week report
ed that while reconditioning is es-
sential, the residence still retains
substantial value and should not
be taken down." 1.-THE extent to
which it needs repairs and recon-
ditioning has not been fully de-
termined," the committee said.
Meanwhile, the University has OBJ
tanned another house in Newark as
a temporary residence for Dr.Carl-
son and his family. "The Knoll"
was acquired by the University in
1917 as home for the president,
and DR.. Carlson is the third pres
ident to live in it. The building
also served, during the recent war,
as a dormitory, and the results of
that use necessitated some redec-
Grating to restore it to habitable
condition for private use.
