SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1946 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE BEAUTY FOR YOU-- We Can't All Be Beautiful puichritude, especially. ve a pretty face, doesn't qualify. , 'There is usually a flaw 'somewhere, Or a girl thinks there is. Nearly all women have some good features or elements of charm, If are Plain Janes who sit on the side lines while the good-looks they haven't put their minds on the matter of improvement, or haven't discovered hidden, undeveloped good points, Perhaps the good point is a interesting hands, a be stingy with her gifts, but she does not overlook a girl completely. Beautiful eyes are a precious in- heritance, but shape and coloring sre unnoticed if the eyes aren't sparkling bright with intelligence qr good humor, The most beautiful hair that ever grew has no appeal unless it is shining clean and beau- tifully arranged. Hands like little white butterflies ~that's the kind Juliet had--are a fils of the fairy . Beauti- ful tapering fingers. Nails like coral, shaped like almonds. Wunnerfull But what if they are neglected, aren't kept white and smooth? A beauty blessing gone to waste. They should move prettily. Knowing what to do with the hands, how to pose them gracefully in the lap or on chair arms, is something of an art. Hands can be vibrant or restful. So, you see, we ourselves make some of our good-looks graces, There's many a pretty figure that is disguised by ill-fitting, poorly- selected attire. Or it is not carried splendidly. Or movements are awk- ward, A girl with a poor figure, but There's usually a beauty flaw somewhere, 5» one who has lightness of step and who moves gracefully, appears more attractive than the lassie with the svelte shape who slouches or lopes or lets her shoulders fall forward. Plain girls should turn their minds toward the acquisition of mental and spiritual loveliness which, after all, outshines physical assets, They can cultivate affability, gracious manners, a gentle voice, thoughfulness--qualities that en- dear one to one's family and one's friends. There are charm elements galore for those who seek them. Every woman canbe perfectly groomed, if she will cultivate good taste in dress, keep her hair neatly and be- comingly arranged.

The Movie Column By HELEN BANNERMAN Canadian Press Staff Writer "The Stronghold," now in the making at the St. Hyacinthe, Que., studio of Quebec Productions Cor- poration, is one picture in which scenes in newspaper offices will be authentic. For sequences' on a set showing an editor's office backed by a busy city room the company im- ported a group of Canadian news- papermen to sit around, pound typewriters and make the scene convincing. The news hawks also doubled as technical advisers for the scenes. The group included Roly Young, movie reviewer of the Toronto Globe and Mail; Henri Poulin, head of the Montreal office of Time and Fortune magazines; Vince Luany of the Montreal Standard, Roger Champoux of La Presse of Mon- treal, Ernest Pallascio-Morin and Fernand Denis, both of Le Petit Journal of Montreal, and Marc Thibault, publicity representative for Quebec Productions Corpora- tion. Since they don't speak in their scenes, they will appear in both the English and the French versions. After three days' shooting the re- porters found they had been liter- ally brought in as authentic back- ground. They will be seen only through the glass partition of the editor's office in a. scene between the editor, played by John (you'll get used to it) Pratt, who was in the R.C.N.'s "Meet the Navy," and Mary Anderson, one fo the film's stars, Some of the reporters had stories and columns to write for their real- life papers but movie men wouldn't let them do any work on the set. It made too much noise. Adrian Scott is one producer who is enthusiastic about the policy of making films in England and Hollywood with name stars from each film' centre. He has just re- turned to Hollywood from London where James Hilton's "So Well Re- membered" was screened with Martha Scott and Richard Carlson of Hollywood, and Patricia Roc, er Unlon Jack. 3 ise, Knots passed | ong lof thorns was plaited from the for enrol- and the presentation of badges.

Glamorizing Washing Your Hair at Home By HELEN FOLLETT Zi a ¢ Singer Jean Love demonstrates a good way to brush hair * * * . * With smooth, straight hair popu- lar again, more home shampooing is going on than ever before. Just how well it is being done is a ques- tion. Even short locks require Youree soapings and as many rinsings; if locks are abundant and of pig tail length, there should be an extra lathering. If you are your own head washer, learn how to do the job properly. Unless every bit of soap is rinsed away you may have what beauticians call "soap dandruff." Don't fancy you can make a first class job of renovating your top- knot by rubbing the soap over. it. Small particles will cling to the shafts in spite of your best endeav- ors to remove them. Place a bar of castile, or any good toilet soap, in a quart mason jar, add one-half pr teaspoonful of borax, fill the jar with hot water, let stand three days before using. Use the clear top liquid, diluted with an equal amount of hot water. After the shampoo pour hot water in the jar; you wlil have enough of the cleaning agent for six or eight shampoos. Scum Attracts Dust Soap scum left on the silky shafts not only deprives them of luster but attracts atmospheric dust. You will know if the shampoo is a success if there are no grey deposits on the comb or the bristles of your brush. And do keep these toilet items scrupulously clean. Before the head washing, the hair should receive a brisk brushing to remove surface dust. Brush front and sides. Throw the head forward and groom from mape line to crown. Then you can bend over the bath tub, friction in the liquid, and' the hair will not be tangled. Use a spray. Have the water fair- ly hot. Let the water pound into your scalp. Be gentle when combing your | Baby. glorious top, taking a small strand at a time, combing first at the ends. Then give yourself a three-minute scalp friction, All Must Enlist To Fight Cancer By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. IPF the war against cancer is to be won, then the public as well as the medical profession must enlist for the duration. This means that the average man and woman must learn enough about its signs and symptoms to know when to consult a doctor. Cancer is so treacherous, it creeps about its deadly work so quietly that, all too often, victims are unaware of its presence until after it has reached its final and fatal stage. The pity of it is that there are so many early symptoms which are suggestive of cancer, If everyone would learn what they are and re- port their first appearance to a physician, the cancer toll could be cut in half, Many Canditions Present There are cany conditions which will lead the doctor to suspect can- cer, For example, an examination of the tongue and throat, with noth- ing more complicated than an or- dinary flashlight, may reveal a be- ginning growth on the roof or floor of the mouth, the tongue, cheek or tonsil. Where anything of the sort is discovered, the doctor will wish to use more accurate means to de- termine its exact nature. Patients should realize that can- cer cannot usually be conclusively diagnosed unless a piece of the tis- sue which is suspected of being | Tow cancerous is removed and examined under the microscope. When this is not possible, X-ray and laboratory studies may make it possible for the doctor to determine whether or not cancer is present. Physician Makes Inspection 'When the symptoms present are affecting the lower bowel, the phy- sician will first make an inspection with the prostoscope. This is a tube, with lights, that can be put into the lower bowel, making it possible for the doctor to examine, directly, the lining membrane of the bowel. In the case of a suspected breast tumor, examination may show that the nipple is either raised or re- tracted, or that the skin over the growth is dimpled. Any discharge from the nipple, clear or bloody, | of calls for further study at once In regard to growths on the skin, any little sore which is thickened or scaly, or which does not heal promply, is to be suspected. ersistent Hoarseness Oa hoarseness, which does not clear up within a week or two, should make one suspicious of can- cer of the voice-box or larynx (al- though cancer is not the only cause of chronic hoarseness). An unex- plained cough might be due to cancer of the lung. - When cancers occur, the lymph nodes near them are enlarged. Thus, if such enlarged glands are felt in the armpit, in the neck, or groin, Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills GOOD APPETITE... GOOD DIGESTION Tot - further studies should be carried out at once to determine whether such enlargements are due to can- cer or to other causes. As I have mentioned, if a patient has symp- toms affecting the stomach or bow- el, complete X-ray study is often necessary in order to make a diag- nosis. The important thing is not to fear cancer but to remember, always, that early treatment will rout it. It seems obvious to say that no treat- ment at all is possible unless the patient consults a physician or un- til all facilities for diagnosis have been used. And yet, so many people have been doomed by delay and neglect that it is impossible to over- emphasize their fatal significance. C.G.L.T.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My family and my fiance's fam- ily are of different nationalities, and a great deal of friction is aris ing between the families as to who pays for what, We are getting no- where fast! Now we have decided to abide by what you tell us as to who pays what expenses. We would especially like to have a pamphlet on the division of expenses. Have you such a pamphlet, and if so how can we get a copy for each family? Hopeful I do have a pamphlet on WED- DING EXPENSES and I shall be very glad to send you some copies if you will send me an addressed, stamped envelope. Although tradi- tionally in some European countries there are customs that vary from ours, as to the sharing of wedding expenses and so forth, usually in this country people of varying na- tional backgrounds abide by the cus- toms accepted here. And logically this is what they should do: accept and abide by the customs of this country, for then there need be no misunderstanding by those who bear the expenses, and no criticism "| by others, My WEDDING EXPEN- SES pamphlet lists all expenses that are the obligation of the bride's par- ents, and those that are the obliga- tion of the bridegroom. Gifts For the "Shut-In" Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I have two relatives and three very dear friends who are "shut- ins", and this year I am planning to dedicate some of the hours of Christmas Day to taking my gifts to them, rather than sending my gifts. I acn sure they will appreciate this more, and it will give me happi- ness too to have a little visit with them on this day I know is not easy for them. Will you please be so kind as to give me some suggestions for these gifts? Anne Your good heart has guided you into a good plan! Yes, I have sev- eral gift-favorites for this personal mission, and I hope they will appeal to you. One is a white glass vase, of the large size filled with branches of Chinese lily leaves. . .they thrive indefinitely in water, and are a bright and abiding joy. (Or you can have them planted in soil, topped with pebbles or shells, in a glass or pottery container.) A sea-garden in a glass aquarium, or a gold fish aquarium will add sparkle to the ed | world of the shut-in. Or a lovely framed picture or print of a sub- 5 ject you know is dear to the heart of the shut-in. If she has a phono- graph, records (perhaps one a Christmas hymn or carol) are an enchanting gift. Or take a card registrating a subscription to a newspaper or magazine, or to a lending library that mails books, or to a book club, A lingerie 'pillow, a bed-rest (there are several most in- eniously designed for comfort), ht-weight but warm bed-socks, a quilted bed-jacket. Consider too (to buy or make) an attractive and stur- dy bag, to be hung on a chair or bed, most convenient to hold book, handkerchief, reading glasses and the like. There's the world of Christmas-y foods too: a pretty jar or box homemade cookies, a fruit cake or Christmas pudding, a basket fruits, a box of candies, fruits or nuts. Or take the gift-certificate registering the popular new idea, the monthly gh of of fruit or candy or some food-specialty. With any of these subscription registrations (newspaper, magazine, book-club, foods) you might take some branch- es of Christmas greens or a big, long-lasting Christmas candle, in white or green or red.
