SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 1947 "THE DAILLY TIMES-GAZETTE - PAGE SEVEN Hep-Cats and Squares Will Find Teen Town Groovy "Teen, Town" at the "Ex" will be) a going' concern where excitement, entertainment and education are ladled out in big attractive doses for 12 hours daily beginning with the re-opening of the Canadian National Exhibition, Aug. 22. There's to be a smart record bar where famous band leaders make personal appearances. In Teen Town's theatre a continous rogram of musical shows, movies, h school variety acts, back-to- school fashion shows and dozens of other acts will take place daily from noon until 10 p.m, Every afternoon during the Ex, the boys will judge the girls' fash~ fons and some lucky lad will win a huge birthday cake which will be cut up on the spot, so he can share it with his pals. There are spelling bees and pub- lic speaking competitions, safe- driving tests and picture shows. Educational exhibits from 30 dif- ferent countries are now being set up in Teen Town which is located on the mezzanine floor of the Au- tomotive Building. In the school exhibits, new facts about education around the world are flashed in the various wall dis- plays. There, Canadian students will learn that in Belgium, a course in manners is compulsory, that there are more women doctors in Russia than man doctors, that schools in India reach only 2% % of the youngsters. 'Three times a day in Teen Town, students from Western Technical 8chool in Toronto will demonstrate how to make muffins and cookies. And the young audience on hand wi get what conies out of the ov- eles George Drew, Minister of Bducation will open Teen Town. 8yl Apps will be there to show the hi~crowd what a Teal, clean sport- loving guy looks like. Jersey and Corduroy Favourite Fabrics Much jersey fabric is used by Spectator Sports in their new au- tumn collection. Nearly all the bodices of both day and evening dresses show the cross-over line--but mostly at the back, leaving the front plain with high' round necks. This movement is used in a turquoise blue jersey day dress which trimmed with leather buttons. It is also to be seen in several sweaters to plain skirts, as well as in a grey evening dress which has a very long full skirt with a triangle of gold and silver sequins in the front. . Featuring Simplicity Another noticeable feature of this collection is the simple dress with the wide belt, like the faconne satin beige evening dress which has a long, full skirt, plain bodice and dark brown velvet high-waisted belt shaped to the figure -- the top be- ing like an old-fashioned corset and the lower half fitting the hips and edged with loops of the same ma- terial. A lovely deep almond corduroy coat with nipped-in waist and small, shirtmaker collar is another outstanding success. The skirt is cut with a swing and the lines of the corduroy are cleverly arranged at different angles.

If you're a person who finds des- perate sadness in living by your- self, then listen to her. "Many single women are miser- able, especially in New York," Miss Judd said, sighing at the thought. "They allow the bigness of it to get them down. They work and read.| | Lend-a-Hand Girl Read and work, That's about all they do." And on the long weekends these women sit in their barren .rooms, staring out toward the sidewalks or parks, Watching other women walking with their men. They don't believe it's possible to be happy and yet alone--but Elea- nor Judd claims it can be done. "It's a trick of its kind," she ex- plained, "but anyone may learn it if she tries. Lose yourself in other people. That's what I do. That's all that anyone needs to do. It pays off every time." - There was no hint of a sermon in her words. She was just stating a fact that often has helped her out, Gives Blood "There are many small children over at New York Hospital right now suffering from Mediterranean fever," she said, "If they don't get blood, they'll die. I give them blood. Every six months, I go to them. I've given 39 pints and hope to give more. "But it's an equal trade, an even swap. They give me something to be truly interested. How can I be lonely? I have only think of the nes | who are living might have ed \ Then there was the Polish man and woman who found themselves in a strange country without a word of English, gt established my own class for them," Eleanor said. "I had never taught anyone and they had never studied English before. But gradu- ally they began to learn. It was wonderful, They were happy and, because of them, I was happy. How could I feel alone?" Was Professional There was a time when Eleanor Judd played the piano profession- ally in 'many theatres throughout the Middle West. but that's all past now. She plays only at home (197- 26 Carpenter Ave. Hollis, N. Y.). This alone would make most peo- ple bitter, but not Miss Judd. "I still love my piano," she said, "and I play for my friends." Yet even when she sees her friends, they have no faces, She knows 'them only by their voic by the touch of their hands. You see, from the time that s was a year old Eleanor Judd has been completely blind.

An official appealing for more operators ruefully commented that the girls marry easily "because we inculcate the need for courtesy, ac- curacy and efficiency. Earns Popularity The girl who rates tops with her family as. well as her friends is the one who can asiype respon. sibility with cheerful ehthusiasm. A willingness to carry your share of the housework will win Mom's applause. That means keeping clothes picked up, beds made, school books and papers corralled on your own shelf. You'll be rated a thoughtful daughter if you volunteer for ex- tra k.p. the night your parents want to visit friends, A good sportswoman treats sisters and brothers with the same respect that she does her school friends, If you borrow sis- ter"s nylons, offer to lend her your scarf. If brother wants help with his lessons, study with him and he'll shout your -praises to his friends, Those amusing anecdotes you've been savihg to tell your cronies will pay off in extra div- idends of fun, if you try them out at the family dinner table first.

A resident of the Harmony area for more than 65 years, Mrs. Farewell is in good health and is marking the occasion quietly today, Even Russian Women Care About Fashion New York -- The women of Leningrad wear worn clothes and hand-me-downs, few of them own hats or lipsticks, 'put you can't take the feeling for fashion out of women's hearts." That's the report brought back by Fur Designer lsther Dorothy from the first postwar Russian fur auctions. Like Magazines "You should have seen them poring over my American fashion magazines," Miss Dorothy said of the young women assistants at the auction, They asked her opin- fon of Russian - manufactured fur coats, she said. First she made sure they would not be of- fended, then she told them "your coats will keep you warm, but our coats will not only keep you warm, they'll make you beauti- ful." Miss Dorothy said Russia's ap- parently very scarce stocks of wo- men's clothes were five to 10 years behind American styles. Most of the women she saw wore '"'jers tubes" or 'old cotton dresses," she said. "If you saw a woman in a tall- ored suit, it looked as if it had been sent her from some other country," she said. Need Shoes Shoes, she said, were the Rus- sian women's evident need. Gir- dles on sale in their shops, she said, had button closings, "but most Russian women don't need girdles, they haven't anything to hold in." . Miss Dorothy said the meager stocks of clothes in the shops had to be ordered specially, with de- livery anywhere from a month to six weeks after order. Try a Times-Gazette classified ad for quick and sure results, Despite the fact that the cost of travelling by either airplane or ship is greater than in pre-war days the demand for passage from Canada to Great Britain and Europe is at least twice as great as it was before the war. Ticket agents have long lists of people waiting for passage overseas with no hope of accommo- dation before late fall. Accommodation on the airlines is easier to secure than it is on ships, but even the airlines cannot promise transportation before October at the earliest. The demand for passage from England to Canada is much greater than the other way, so ocean travellers have no assurance that they will be able to get back if they do manage to get across. The air- lines, unlike the shipping compan- ies, will supply round trip tickets overseas. The reason for the bottle-neck in travel is chiefly the scarcity of planes and ships. Besides that, since travel was restricted during the war, there is a six-year accum- ulation of proposed trips over, and because of conditions in Europe, there is a larger waiting list of im- migrants for this country than there has ever been before. Right up to the end of January, the lines felt sure that many of | their ships, such as the Queen Mary and Britannic, would be in service early this year. Unfortunately, due to post-war conditions, these ships were all delayed, and only the Mauretania entered the service be- fore the middle of May. - It was re=- ported at that time that 150,000 ap- plications were on hand from Can- ada and the United States, most of them on file since last year, Cancellations Help The picture is not entirely black, There are frequent cancellations, which allow many to get space soon- er than they expected. For instance, a few months ago about a half doz- en families were accommodated very soon after their applications were in because of releases of ships and cancellations. The ticket agent at the C.N.R. station suggests that any who wish to get across the Atlantic during 1948 have a good chance of doing so as long as they apply early. There is a large walting list for space, but it is thought that with more ships in service next year, most will be accommodated all right. It is reported that the majority of passage seekers are women, but no reason was suggested . for this. Quite a few are British people liv- ing in Canada who wish to visit their homeland, or Canadian people with overseas connections who de- sire to see their relatives. There is no let-up in sight, although many ships are being re-built for "over- seas travel. The rush may possibly be over by mext summer, but even this is uncertain, The rush for ac- commodation began as soon as the war ended and hes been increasing ever since. Return Passage Uncertain One C.N.R. official commented that quite a few people managed to 'secure aocommodation over and were stuck in Europe for quite a while before they were able to get back. It is also reported that fit is sometimes possible to book pas-. sage on a freighter going across by applying directly to the ship. .An important change in regula- tions which will affect many tour- ists is that it is not now permis- sible to issue joint passports to husband and wife. Separate ones are necessary. Advice Service for Women Will Benefit CNE Visitors A triple Investment Advice Ser- vice for women and "by women, with personal interviews, will oper- ate daily in the Women's Building at the Canadian National Exhibi- tion for the benefit of C.N.E. visit- \ors when the Exhibition re-opens Aug. 22, Kate Aitken, Women's Di- rector, has announced, Mrs, Aitken explained that the fields of advice would cover health insurance, life insurance and real estate. This triple service is to be given by actual women in these particular businesses, their names to be announced shortly. "They will counsel women on the best general principles to follow and precautionary steps to take be- fore making an investment,' Mrs, Aitken said. "They will give women a knowledge of values and help them to understand the advantage of making a sound investment ra- ther than g heaythreak where life savings may be at stake." 'Women should never act on in- vestment tips picked up at the bridge table, without first looking into the financial position of the company issuing the stock. Before buying a security, women should definitely examine what they are buying with the same discernment they would "use in purchasing a jewel or an antique. This is the kind of sound advice that comes from the lips of women who are themselves leaders in the insurance, the real estate fields in Canada, and who will be on hand for counsel at the C.N.E. While most of the money on this side of the ocean is controlled by women, there are still those who will allow their life savings to be tossed into a risky investment at the drop of a hat. A women should know whether she is investing in a good piece of real estate or in a budgie bird, wo men business leaders point out. 30%...Is The Difference « « « that You'll SAVE IN OUR SMASHING SALE this AUGUST! ® All Fresh New Top Notch Furs in the Latest of Fashion!

Whether she is showing the merest tip of a toe or ing practically barefoot in beach sandals, she will want her feet to be dainty and graceful, First rule of all good grooming of course is' cleanliness. Believe it or not there are more sweat glands per square inch on the sole of the foot than on any other part of the body and this hot weather they work overtime. So to keep free of bromidrosis -- the sour odor of perspiration -- wash your feet as frequently as possible. Lukewarm sudsy water is most soothing, with a little baby oil for a skin softener, If you suffer from 'excessive pers= piration, try scrubbing the feet ev- ery day with a soft nail brush. It's ticklish but effective. Don't use perfume. Mingled with the acids and salts in perspiration perfume creates an unpleasant, sickly odor, Instead, to keep feet dry and sweet- smelling, dust them with talcum powder or foot powder, which ale ways contains a deodorant. As for callouses, if these pads of thickened skin bother you, you should have them removed by a chiropodist. Otherwise rubbing with pumice stone will do the trick, One vital point in footcare. Al- ways dry thoroughly between the toes after a bath. Moisture left lurking in toe webbing will cause the skin to crack, providing an open invitation to infection, particularly the dreaded athelete's foot. If burning and swelling have rob- bed you of your usual light step, treat your feet to a gentle massage with baby oil, or use your favorite hand lotion. Another quick pick= up is rubbing alcohol, but it is only recommended for those who have not a dry skin, And now the artistic part of your beauty treatment: thé manicure, For your feet, choose the same nail polish as for your hands -- a clear bright red that will set off your tan and give you that ensemble look, so vital to the well-dressed woman. A dab of rubbing alcohol on the summer stickiness and you are ready to go places and do things lining of your shoe to clear away on refreshed, well groomed feet.
