RED 127 PRINCE RUPERT . . . BRITISH COLUMBIA. DAILY EDITION Wednesday, Oct. 18, 1944 Another Alaska Highway . . . There is no way of telling what might transpire from the visit of the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce delegation to the Alaska centres. Undoubtedly there will be an increase in understanding among the people of this city and the Alaska towns, and it is possible that a return visit by an Alaska delegation sometime in the near future may result. Among the important points which they will undoubtedly impress on the Alaskans is the fact that when the Skeena River highway opens for public use it will not only be a highway for eastern tourists coming west, but also an avenue for Alaska motorists going east In short, another Alaska highway. There must be thousands of vehicles in Alaska wearying of running the urban routine, with no chance to travel any great distance on an open road. A ferry trip to Prince Rupert from Ketchikan or Skagway would not be very expensive for anyone wanting to motor east, and the thrill of driving into the heart of the continent from a point so near Alaska as Prince Rupert would more than compensate for the cost. We feel that if the Chamber of Commerce dele-gates succeed in making even a few Alaskans conscious of the Skeena River highway, the trip would be worth while. The Alaskans themselves would do the rest. ALBERTA GIRL, PARIS MODEL, HATES GERMANS Dancer From Trochu Stranded In Europe in 1937 Tells Sordid Tale of Wartime Life in French Capital By MARGARET ECKER Canadian Press War Correspondent PARIS, Oct. 18 W In the Hollywood setting of Paquins in the Rue de la Paix you'd hardly expect to find a young woman from Alberta. . Reflected in the mirror walls, against a background of black satin furniture and white satin drapes you'd hardly expect to hear the sordid little tale of a mannequin's behind-the-scenes life. Tony de Cathelineau from Trochu, Altav was pure gold foi a reporter. The lovely white dinner dress trimmed with jet sequins had come and gone, and we'd been told its price was 27,000 francs, ($540) and we'd admired several cheaper little numbers, pretty, bouffant dresses of gay prints, that we might have marked down to 9,000 francs, ($180) since it was the end of the season. Tony modelled a tight-walst-ed. dress, very full of skirt in red striped linen, and the sleek Russian woman who was acting as commentator said, "Tony's Canadian, too." So the next time she appeared In a luscious black coat, lined with white satin and made full in the back like a cape, we held up the show to ask her about herself. Bhe'd left Trochu in 1933 she told us to travel with a dance team, chiefly to California. In 1937 the team was stranded in Paris and Tony ended up as a model, and a lovely one she was with slim, petite figute, eyes, large brown, luminous and a face interesting with hollows. In Concentration Camp Every time she appeared In another of Paquin's dazzling creations she gave us a bit more of the story. In December, 1940, she ended up in a concentration camp where she stayed for seven months. "It was horrible, we had very little to eat and we slept on straw. It was all so bad we all had colic most of the time. It was so cold we had to wear slacks, slacks with French poilu's overcoats and boots. "But we kept ourselves clean in freezing cold water, and we always made ouselves up. The German soldiers couldn't understand that. And when Christmas came we had a party, some sang, some acted, I danced. The Germans were completely baf- want ( irN ixAli Boy, am I getting fat I And no wonder. "The old man" (he's the depositor) keeps building me up. If he'd only let me f'go active" in Victory Bondsl Makes me mad to think how much I could help! Just look what I could buy . . . stacks of anti-aircraft shell ; : ; vital parts for a Mosquito Bomber . . . or enough moke bombs to hide the movements of gallant Canadian troop. But why go on? THE DAILY NEWS JVEDNESDav I fled, they all came and watched us and they couldn't understand j prisoners being gay. We had: them beaten there." When she was released and came back to Paris to her flat, she discovered the Germans had taken away her radio and her telephone. "Don't think I've been gay m Pans theue last four years,' said Tony in her accent that, is still solidly Canadian. And then she told us about her life as a mannequin. "I earn 5,000 francs a month," she said. "That wasn't bad In peacetime, but now ... I nearly starved to death. I had to spend every cent for food. In the winter I bought coal for my stove. That cost me 3,000 francs ($60). I paid $7.50 for a pound of butter, $3 for a dozen of eggs, $2.50 for a package of cigarets. Tea was 2.000 francs a pound so I didn't see any. The people with money did all right. But then they always do. Riches to Itags "Maybe you think my job Is glamorous well it isn't. How would you like to wear beautiful clothes all day, and go home at night, practically in rags because you couldn't buy anvthinK. all vour monev was going for food and you were still hungry." Tony was back again in a Dink. and white striped evening dress, beautifully moulded to her slim figure. She looked very fragile, helpless. But she beat her two small fists together and said: "Yes, there was a way out and many girls in Paris took it. We saw them In here with their German boy friends, buying clothes. They had money to eat." Tony practically spat. "Me, I wouldn't do that If I starved to death, Germans are monsters, I couldn't bear to be near one. I had a friend, she was a model. Her father was a de Gaullist, but he hid away from the Gestapo. So they seized her and her brother. They burned her breasts with sulphuric acid, until she died at her brother's feet. But neither of them talked. "Germans are complete sadists, they'll do anything to make people talk to get their own way. I could tell you more stories I never realized how people could suffer as they've suffered here In Paris. I wish I could make people In Canada understand, I wish I could make them know what hate Is' And so the fashion show was over, and Tony, stripped of her glamor clothes went back to her little flat somewhere, a great deal of her story untold.
