(APi The 19-year-old Eskimo wife of an Akron serviceman is finding her first spring in Ohio somewhat short of her dreams. "It's miserable here," complained F.nlka Thornton as wet snow flurries dribbled over ihe city for the second straight day Saturday. , "The cold bothers me more than it ever did before, she said. "This dampness is more chilling than 40-below in Alaska." Enika is the wife of Airman Lawrence Thornton, Jr., on leave now visiting his parents here.

Cheery Austin himself has always seen to that. Formality has a good deal of the panic effect of claustrophobia upon him. He is characteristically unhappy and ill at ease in its presence. It's about the only time that he is unhappy. And for thut reason nothing seemed stranger to his Liberal party colleagues here over the week-end than of money.

The quotations arc in leaflets signed by Solon Low, MP, and the fact that the genial MP for Qu'Appelle was making headlines coast-to-coast headlines, too the hard way.

This noble old lady who died yesterday has left behind an impression so strong imong a host of acquaintances that the effect is 'overwhelming to the reporter seeking biographical Among his close Liberal colli agues he has been perhaps not exactly the closest, but certainly one of the most frugal.

It is impossible to conceive a more striking-example of. what the heart and mind can accomplish, for physically this remarkable little woman did not seem fairly matched against life. As light and delicate as a stroke of her paintbrush, she contrasted oddly against the setting of a country where the elements are robust and nature has shaped the land with rough fingers. .The extraordinary part was, however, that if there was any inequality in the match, it was all in Mis.Faui'e's favor. Far from having to overcome the elemental forces, she won them to her side, drew inspiration from them and put their beauty on canvas, As if this were not enough, she had strength and 'inspiration left to give to others. In fact, it apparently never occurred to her that she had any choice except always to share what she had--and "share" is used here in its loosest sense. By Miss Faure's definition, it meant the recipient vasjvelcome to everything. This, then, was the tiny Dutch woman who, living far into the years on her courage, brought comfort to lonely hospital patients, raised and personally gave funds for her countrymen stricken by floods, helped her friends in many quiet ways, and .always encouraged artistic expression.
