MONDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1946 / THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE " PAGE SEVEN ' Glamorizing The Importance Of Fresh Air By HELEN FOLLETT Movie Star Helen Koford is an advocate of fresh air and lots o® exercise. * + THIS is the season when you are likely to be air-starved and, be- cause of that, the ccemplexion may "lose its lovely natural coloring. So don't be a hot house plant. Put on your seven-league boots, get out and hoof it. You'll build up more vitality, you will get chesty, your skin will not rebuke you when you look in the mirror. Walk briskly. _ Presh 'air purifies the blood be- ©i)o® it increases circulation. It ihe network of tiny capillaries just beneath the skin that puts the pretty blush in a girl's cheeks. They too, respond to free breathing and muscular exertions. Lifting the Diaphragm By deep breathing we mean a rhythmical lifting and descending of the diaphragm, with the air trickling through every little cell of the breathing bellows. Make it a practice to get out of doors every day of your life, rain or shine, If you are a home boss * +» and don't do that, if you keep at the same old grind, your soul will get mildewed, your figure will age. Proper Breathing Proper breathing, deep inhala- tions and a thorough expelling of stale air compresses the liver, acts favorably upon the whole digestive system. When breathing deeply one is drinking in oxygen that disinfects stale air. It goes through all the little rooms of the lungs as wind sweeps through the house when the windows are open. It isn't enough to use force when drawing in the air; it must be ex- pelled forcibly. Ome way to do that is to inhale through the nos- trils, exhale ttirough the lips with a sort of whistling sound. Five minutes of deep breathing every morning before an open window will help one to start the day with zest and energy. On Year's Leave In Durban After Nine In Nigerian Wilds Durban, South Africa, Dec. 30.-- ¢CP)--After years of isolation in he wilds of Nigeria, a British wo- fhan missionary is again learning now to s streets. She is Miss Belle dam who lives near Jos i Tn northern Nigeria and who now J Is dn a year's leave. With a Scottish colleague, Miss Melen Griffin, she lives in a thatch- ed hut near Jos. The hut has open- ings for windows barred to keep out roving leopards and other wild ani- mals. To get to their "home" they Sake a narrow gauge rallway for 33 tniles from Jos and then get out and walk another 27 miles. Horses are useless as tr rt because the dreaded tsetse fly kills them. There are no roads and the bould- er-strewn hilly terrain would wreck & bicycle. There is only one 12-inch native path and native bearers car- ry their luggage. The two women's nearest white neighbors are at Jos, 60 miles away. They do misison work, educating the natives and giving medical help. They've been doing this work for nine years now and broke, ground in a new territory where the tribe had never seen white people. The natives look on them as "not hu- man" but as having risen from the sea on account of their color. Their work takes the two intrepid women visiting from "town" to "town" and tribe to tribe, and Miss Graham says they are never afraid of the natives. This is a little sur- prising in view of the somewhat strange tribal rites and customs ot these people. If 'a baby alls, it becomes auto- matically the property of the water spirits and is taken to the nearest water and left there. If the mother of a young baby dies, the infant is carried to a high and dangerous rock and abandoned. If there is an epidemic in a village the witch doc- tors "smell out" and usually find the culprit, a baby, who is then buried alive. Miss Graham and Miss Grifin spend a lot of time in rescue work in these cases and are unhindered, for as long as the tribal rite has been carried out the natives are in- different to results. Famous Dover Street Must Disappear Soon Dover's famous Snargate-street, known to sailors the world over, is to disappear. One day soon the street, which got, its name from the old Snar Ga, } hing which Dover folk slept sect from the threat of French Lg on, will be known simply as Th marrow street, with its over- hang. ¢ buildings, is in the way of 8 ne trunk road planned from Dover Harbour to London, Wife Preservers British Mannequins Are Found "Too Fat" By EILEEN TRAVIS Watching the _much-publicised British mannequins; with an even more critical eye than they used in studying the clothes, American fashion experts made this unanim- | ous comment, with some surprise: "TOO FAT!" Coming from Britain, the seven girls were expected to be even leaner than the bean-poles who display American fashions. Having said that--it rather shocked the British girls--the Am- erican experts then handed them a few bouquets. "They are much fresher looking, more natural, simpler, and have much more charm than our own girls," was the general opinion, Use Light Make-up Experts were surprised at the light make-up used by the British girls, in contrast to the heavy co- ver-all make-up used here. Ap- parently the lighter variety is pre- ferable when skin is good, allowing the natural glow to shi through. All on their first visit here, none | 6f them had done any sight-seeing when I spoke to them: they have been kept much too busy. They are wearied of the sight of "elderly American business men," the only ones they have met so far at business dress shows. But no young man may take one of the girls out alone. All the girls are carefully cha- peroned and where one goes all must go. Another criticism that has come to the British girls has been the stiffness of their gait as they show the clothes, Miss Lucy Clayton, principal of the British Mannequin School, who brought the girls over, agrees, but says "that is characteristic of the British."

The dampness is ruining the linoleum. The toilet is vitreous china. Is there anything we can do about it?" Empire Brass Company says that if you have proper ventilation in the bathroom in the ceiling, this sweating will stop except on days when the humidity is high. In the meantime, a good coat of wax on the linoleum will help pre- serve it. L BR BR Falling Hair: "I lose handfuls of it every time I comb my hair, I am getting desperate. What can 1 do?" Build up your general health first of all. Severe hair falling means some vitamin deficiency, usually Vitamin A. With your doc- tor's permission, within five weeks you can build yourself up with butter, milk carrots, and a daily dosage of Vitamin A. After that, a good hair tonic helps a lot. But one thing certain, healthy hair needs a healthy body to jack it up. LR Old Gold: "Could you let me know the value of an American one dollar gold piece, coined in 1857?"

FE | Barrie Highway: "Have you any idea when the new highway to | Barrie will be open? Where does lit start? Is it a double highway? | I'm in the tourist business and in- terested from a business point of view." It was expected that the new highway would be open this fall as a gravel road but strikes and scarcities made that impossible. The highway that has been auth- orized to Barrie is a double high= way, originates out near Keele St., | and lies half way between No. 11 {and No. 27. It would be wise to i consult the Minister of Highways before you plan a gas station or tourist lodge. The new speedways will have limited stations I un- stand.
