3 = ately after the grand march to the THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1948 THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN ° BEAUTY FOR YOU Are Your Shoulders Padded By HELEN JAMESON With formals what they are, and: bathing suits mere fragments of body covering, shoulders are pretty much in the public eye. Lovely shoulders are beauty assets of the first order. The undernourished girl who lives on practically noth- ing a day -- a few lettuce leaves, perhaps--will have thin, scrowny ones and conspicuous collar bones. The woman who loves her grocer- jes and hates exercise may find that hers are over-padded, causing the figure to took top-heavy. At the risk of earning her dislike, we are bound to state that adipose cushions are often due to lazy hab- its -- slow motion, lazy breathing, too much sleep. In order to rid the shoulders of superfluous flesh, exercise is im- perative. All reaching and stretch- ing exercises are helpful. Slimming is ideal because it builds up the health generally besides so streng- thening the muscles that fat cells become despondent, go off and die. At 'schools of physical education, the supplicant for an improved fig- ure may be directed to 'chin the bar." In this exercise, the entire body weight is assumed by the shoulders and they soon become normalized. The busy woman who has no time for gym work will find im- provement in simple exercises that she can do at home. : Here is an excellent exercize to slenderize the shoulders and upper back, and to give some mean licks to what is called the dowager"s hump -- if one is so unlucky as to have developed a roll just south fo the rear meck line. Stand erect, hands down at the sides. Lift the hands and extend them straight out from the should- ers. Clench the fists, bring them to the shoulders, then send them directly above the head, bending the head backward -- the arms and shoulders as well -- and lifting the chest high. Bring the hands down in front of the body, lowering the head and shoulders. Return to first position and repeat. When the arms are lifted, they should be stretched to the utmost; that move- men pulls up the tissues of the amas SZ % RE ~= Owirbuied by Keng Features Spdscare, Inc Shoulders are pretty much in 'the public eye. * shoulders, normalizing hem. Stand tall, hands clasped at the back of the neck. Bring the el- bows down and forward until they touch, lowering the head until the [chin rests on the chest. Then lift the head and send it back -- keep- ing pressure on the neck with the hands--and send the elbows back- ward. You will be aware of a strong muscle pull all over the up- per portion of your body. You can get in a little exercise at odd moments. While waiting at the telephone, while waiting for Pappy to come home to dinner--at any time -- lift and shrug your shoulders, Shrug them when they are in the natural position, then send them far back ahd shrug them.- 1,000 Dancers Attend Annual Police Ball Visitors from Port Hope, Bow- manville, Orono, Whitby, Pickering, Scarborough and York Township were among the thousand dancers who attended the third annual dance of the Police Association of the United Counties of Ontario, Northumberland and Durham which was held in the Jubilee Pavilion on Friday evening.

BUNDESEN, M.D. TREAT CATARACT EARLY CLOUDING of the lens of the eye is known as catanfict. There arc various reasons for the tissue changes which lead to cataract, among them being poor circulation and poor diet. It is generally agreed, however, that when cata- ract appears before the age of 60 it is due either to infection of the eye itself or to a toxic condition elsewhere in the body, in which substances harmful to the lens are produced. Such changes in the lens occur- ring after the age of 60, and the majority of cases do occur after 60, are usually due to the aging pro- cesses. Some physicians are of the opinion that these changes are un- avoidable and cannot be warded off. However, other doctors believe that with right living habits, such as the use of proper diet, rest and exer- cise, and the correction of physical disorders, the development of cata- ract in elderly persons often can be prevented. Consults Doctor The paflent with, cataract usually consults a doctor because of spots before the eyes, dizziness, or head- ache, or because ligiit causes pain in the eyes. In other instances, the only symptoms of cataract are gradual loss of vision. Many persons with beginning cataract, failing to realize their trouble, feel that all they need to do is to buy a pair of glasses. Of course, this will not correct their vision because the cataract blocks the passage of light rays into the eye, Furthermore, the delay in hav- inc treatment allows the cataract to progress. Loss of Eyesight Early changes in the lens of the eye produce a gradual loss of eye- sight. In fact, the loss of vision may be so gradual that the patient is not conscious of any incon- venience. Later on, if the patient has been wearing glasses, he may find that he sees better without them. This happens because the lens swells up, This does not mean that thé condition is actually im- proving. In fact, it only indicates that the trouble is getting worse. Up to the present, the only satis- factory method of treating cata- ract, once it is fully developed, is by removal of the lens. Of course, the operation should be done by one who is skilled in this procedure. Physical Condition Before the operation the patient should be put in the best possible physical condition, Following it, the patient 'should be kept on his back for about four hours, after which time he may be turned on either side. However, the head must be' kept flat for at least a week. As persons approach middle age, they should consult an eye special- ist from time to time for examina- tion of the eyes, even if they have had no difficulty with the vision. a hatchet.

Young women, unmindful of car- riage, assuming sloppy poses, are doing themselves a great injustice. They desire the snappy shape, they ant to look like a fashion model, ut these desires will not material ize if they don't keep their back- bones extended, hoist up their chests, tuck in their hips. ! It is not only for the sake of good appearance that a girl should cultivate perfect posture, but 'for the sake of 'health as well. If she does not do that some muscles and ligaments will be stretched, others will not have enough work to do to keep them strong and resilient. There is a decided interference with circulation, and that's bad. Unless your Blood streams are travelling at a normal pace the complexion will be pale or sallow. Some Pointers on Posture $y HELEN FOLLETT Beautiful posture gives Screen Star Merle Oberon an air of ease grace. * LJ Poor posture means that the breathing is shallow. The lower cells of the lungs contain stale air that should be released, if one is to feel tip-topping. When the supply of oxygen is diminished, the body may suffer in many ways. Fatigue will be present. There will be no ginger in the heels or starshine in the eyes. It is a vicious circle and it keeps right on going round and round. Women who carry themselves beautifully are on their toes, not only physically, but mentally. Be- cause slouchy attitudes are the atti- tudes of discouragement and des- pair. Pull up your backbone when life looks cloudy. Get out and hoof it. Breath in the air, taking a deep breath to a certain number of steps. Keep the chest lifted. Pull in the tummy. Keep your head balanced. Let the arms swing naturally and easily. No hunched up shoulders, if you please. By this means, many a woman has been able to chase away the blue devils. In this 'way, the development of cataract may be discovered early and proper measures takén to ward off the progress of the condi- tion or, in any event, to keep the eyes under observation until opera- tion is required. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A. C. Will you please tell me something about neuritis? A. Neuritis means inflammation of a nerve or the tissue surrounding a nerve. Local neuritis generally comes from a cold, most commonly in the facial nerve. It may be due to trauma from wouads, blows, direct pressure on the nerve, the tearing and stretching which follows the breaking of a boge, or it may be produced by injecting ether into a nerve. It may mesult from the ex- tension of infectiop from'a neigh- boring part, such as neuritis of the facial nerve, due to 'infection of the bones in the face or skull. In the local type ef neuritis there are no general disturbances in most instances. The most im- portant symptom is pain of a bor- ing or stabbing sort, usually felt along the course of the affected . | nerve and in the parts which the nerve supplies. The skin may be slightly reddened or swollen over the site of the ifflammation.

"Just because they slap up a grand piece of pastry in an after- noon or run up a little frock on the machine they think they can do a bit of woodwork at the gal- lop. They must learn to hurry slowly, 'devoting plenty of time and patience to the work." Much of the carpentry is done in native woods--deal, oak, ath, elm and sycamore -- which, although harder to work than many types of Canadian timbers, yield many novel effects when finished. The women buy the wood at the school at prices which just cover cost plus wastage in cutting. Barry and senior instructor John Gibb insist on operating the mechanical saw themselves--"It's not suitable for ladies; too dangerous," says Gibbs--but otherwise the students do all the workshop chores, shar- peging their own tools and plan- their own rough lumber. The more advanced students also design their own work, blocking out sketches of the finished ob- ject which an instructor approves before they go ahead with it. The oldest member of the class, who boasts of being 74, is working on a bookstand which frees the hands for knitting. Others are building chests of drawers, bed- side tables, bed-ends, china cabi- nets--fitting their own glass pan- els -- firescreens, loghoxes, work hampers and cocktail trays. Most of the class wear sweaters and skirts at work; a few sport brightly-colored dungarees. A husband is one who stands by you in troubles you wouldn't have had if you hadn't married i Anon.

By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Yesterday I heard a woman. in- troduce her husband in this way: "Mrs. Smith, this is my husband, Mr. Brown." This sounded strange to me . .. as if she might at pre- sent have more than one husband, and that this wag the husband whose name is Brown! Or am I wrong? This form of introduction is not correct . . . and I chuckled at your interpretation of her error! To a friend a woman introduces her husband as "John." 'To those she doesn't know very well, she would say, "Mrs, Allen, this is my hus- band," or (very formally) "Mrs. Allen, may I present my husband/" or "Mrs. Allen, my husband.' In a business introduction or in any oth- er situation that is definitely im- personal, the "my husband' form of introduction is correct, or the introduction may be, "Mr. Foster + +» + » + Mr. Brown." The Bride's Mother should decide on type of dress to be worn by both Mothers Dear Mrs. Beeckman: (1) My son is getting married soon. The wedding is to be at two o'clock, and in the wedding party are to be a maid of honor, three bridesmaids, a flower girl, best man, and three ushers, My prob~ lem is: Should I wear a long dress or a street-length dress? The mo- ther of the bride-to-be says .she will do what I want to do in re- gard to the type of dress. So you see this puts me "on the spot". I want to look right and not spoil a lovely wedding by my ignorance. (2) The men - (groom, best man, and ushers) are going to wear either tuxedos or tails. If they wear "tails", should they wear silk hats? (3) And should my husband wear what the men in the wedding party wear, or may he wear a busi- ness suit? see OME (1) The bride's mother, who is to be the hostess of the wedding, is the one who must make the deci- sion concerning the type of dress to be worn by "the mothers" . . . 50 you must ask her to make the ; | decision and "assure her you will '| co-operate with her dress-plan. If the bride is planning to wear a ; |really formal wedding dress, her ! | mother should wear a long, dinner- type dress (often chosen is the in- teresting ensemble, long dress with matching short jacket or bolero) « « « and the groom's mother (the woman guest of honor at the wed- ding) should follow suit, When the bride's dress is less formal (semi-formal), the mothers' dresses may be of either formal length or street-length. (2) Please tell your son that it is not correct for him and his attendants to wear tuxedos at an afternoon wedding . .. a tux- edo is evening attire, not correctly worn before six o'clock in the eve- ning at the earliest. If the men wear formal daytime attire (cute away coats, dark striped trousers, appropriate accessories), they wear silk hats. (3) The bridegroom's father is the man guest of honor at the wedding, and customarily wears the same type of attire worn by the bride's father and the other men in the wedding party. Clergyman Would Be Invited to Reception, But Not to Dinner Dear Mrs, Beeckman: We are being married in a large private suite in a hotel here, and afterward, at about four-thirty, there will be a reception for the guests attending the ceremony, with the serving of simple refreshments, smal] sandwiches, cakes, ¢offee and punch. At about six-thirty or seven there will be a dinner Tor the mem- bers of the families and the ate tendants, in the dining-room of the suite. The clergyman who will of- ficiate has recently come to our church, and we know him only slightly. Should we invite him to the reception and to the dinner afterward, or isn't this necessary? Margaret. It would be natural, and, of course, proper, to invite the offici- ating clergyman to the reception following the ceremony. But, since he is not an intimate friend of the family, it is not necessary to invite him to the small dinner for the families and attendants . . . nor would he expect to be invited.
