I | PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE MONDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1946 BEAUTY FOR YOU-- | | ! Do Your Homework! J BY HELEN JAMESON Said the boss of the beauty shop: "The customers who get the full benefits of our treatments are those who are willing to spend a little time each day on good-looks du- ties. I'll spend a lot of thought and time giving a woman a grand hair- do. Next day pass her on the street and her is a mess. Looks like last year's bird nest. If she would apply herself to the subject, she would soon learn to comb her waves the right way, to smooth the rolls, So it is with facials. A facial every week or two isn't enough. The. skin must be lubricated every night. Scme women seem to think we can work miracles." Women who call up Estelle or Genevieve and make an appoint. ment to go through the beauty hopper--spending half a day get- ting a shampoo, trim, wave set, fa- cial, and an arm and hand mas- sage -- might almost as well put their money in the piggy bank, if they themselves won't do a thing to keep in form. It just doesn't make sense. Many women who sel- dom have professional attentions have learned to keep complexion, hair, and fingernails in normal condition. One must keep at the job, or one will go to seed--espe- cially if one has slipped past the fortieth birthday, Old Man Time is right around thé corner, ready to leap out and give one a scare in the form of grey hair and turkey tracks. Self-respect demands that a wo- man be on good terms with that ever-present companion, the lady in the looking glass. ~ If she doesn't look well, she won't feel spirited, "* ~s poised, on her toes. There are small details of the oilette that must have daily atten- ion so that she will be perfectly groomed. Good grooming is akin to pulchritude. It means that a wo- man hag style. Conservation of youthful appear- ance should not be spasmodic. It is something that must go on all the time There is no stopping point. No need to consider it a duty. The (= oa J The next day her head is a mess, LR and complexion before going to bed, for meditation. Care of the finger- nails brings rewards. If one neglects these small tasks one might as well settle down, get old and homely. When a woman doesn't care how she looks, she doesn't care much about anything. Better the cheap little bargain frock that is fresh and nice than the expensive piece of dry goods that carries powder film at the neck line, or needs a few stitches. Good grooming is fastidious re- gard for every detail of dress--clean gloves, stockings well harnessed, coiffure neat as a pin, complexion laid on carefully under the guidance of a seeing eye. The smart wcman daily bath offers relaxation. Brush- ing the hair, creaming .the hands won't slip up on a single detail. Simple Folk Saved St. Paul's Six Years Ago, Says The Dean «(The "simple, almost matter-of- fact story" which is referred to be- low is a book entitled "St. Paul's Cathedral in Wartime" and written by Rev. W. R. Matthews, Dean of St. Paul's. It is published by Hut- chinson and royalties from its sale 'are to be given to the Cathedral Restoration Fund.) . (From The Overseas and Transat- lantic Mail) On the night of December 29, 1940, when the City of London burned, those of us looking toward St. Paul's, from only a quarter of a mile or so away, were convinced-- so fierce were the flames surround- ing it--that the Cathedral was alight. Twenty-eight incendiary bombs fell on St. Paul's and its precincts that night. And in his simple, al- most matter-of-fact story of the way in which this landmark was organised for defence against air raiders, the Rev. W. R. Matthews, Dean of St. Paul's, reveals how narrowly the Cathedral escaped destruction on this December eve- ning. The Thames was abnormally low; pumps from the river became clog- ged with mud, and after the first few fire bombs had been tackled there was no water at all. Hydrants and hoses were there in plenty-- but of what use were they without water? So each incendiary that fell had to be tackled with fire-fighting equipment. Those that landed in the roof were particularly trouble- some, and more than one was fought for 45 minutes or more be- fore it was made useless. Volunteers for the Dome patrol were selected from among those with heads for heights and with a leaning towards acrobatics. Imagine men, far from young, walking along the slender beams of the Dome to reach their bombs or to thrust the nozzles of their stirrup pumps into the heart of a fire. Once again in this book the simple men and women who had no pretensions to be heroes are lauded --men and women who, for love of this most famous church, risked their lives to defend her. Their names are at end of the book-- English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish names, and those of American, Dut- chmen and Czechs, too. Life of LL.G. To Be Filmed British film producers are looking for an actor to play the part of Da- vid Lloyd George in a film of the great statesman's life which will be produced in Britain early next year. The present Lord Lloyd George will supervise the writing of the script and the production of the 'film, which will trace the life of his father from boyhood days. Festival To Draw Famous Musicians Edinburgh -- (CP) -- Edinburgh's first International Festival of Mu- sic and Drama next year--planned as an annual event rivalling the pre-war splendor of Salzburg, Bay- reuth and the 1946 Lucerne festival, is taking form. Renowned orchestras have con- tracted to play. The Vienna Phil- harmonic under Bruno Walter will lead off, and other concerts will be given by the Colonne Orchestra of Paris, the Halle Orchestra of Man- chester under John Barbirolli and the Liverpool Philharmonic. Opera from Glyndebourne, Sussex, will include Verdi's seldom-perform- ed "Macbeth" and Mozart's "Mar- riage of Figaro," accompanied by the 'Scottish Orchestra. Four of the world's outstanding virtuosi of the piano, violin, viola and 'cello--Schnabel, Szigeti, Wil- liam Primrose and Pierre Fournier --have agreed to give individual performances and combine in a quartet, Lotte Lehman will sing for the first time since the war, ac- companied by Maestro Walter. English drama will be supplied by London's Old Vic Company and French drama by a Paris company headed by film actor Louis Jouvet. Edinburgh hopes to attract more than 36,000 visitors to the festival and has chartered a steamer to anchor in the Firth of Forth as a floating hotel. IN KENT. . .every woman being married in a Church of England church in the Rochester diocese is given a letter from the Bishop of Rochester, who has been married nearly 30 years and who is the fa- ther of five children. "Marriage is an art," he says in the letter, "that has to be cultivated with care and patience and sometimes pain." The Bishop asks couples to re-read his letter on every wedding anniver- sary.

BUNDESEN, M.D. WHEN we realize that the slender column of the spine must support the whole weight of the upper body, it is not at all surprising that so many people suffer from what is generally called "a weak back." Such people are not really ill, but neither are they really well. They tire easily, have little vitality and are often plagued with aches and pains in the small of the back. Pain in Back Pain in the back, particularly in the lower part, may be due to a number of different causes, includ- ing defects in the bones of the spine, injury, or inflammation as a result of infection. Most often, owever, it is simply the result of -continued poor posture. Such people have weak and lazy muscles which refuse to do their part in holding the spine, in its correct po- sition. The result is constant strain and what Dr, A. B. Walter, of Can- ada, calls "postural back-ache." This condition, unlike other forms of backache, can be Improved by properly = directed exercises under the care of an orthopedic specialist, addition, correction of the pos t and breathing habits are help- ful. 'The person must be taught to stand with the abdominal muscles drawn in, which helps to raise the hipbones and keep the spine in the proper position. This strengthening of the abdominal muscles can be accomplished by exercises which are laken with the patient lying on his ack. Spine Incompletely Formed Sometimes persons are born with what is known as occult spina bi- fida, that is, a condition in which the spine is incompletely formed. This condition, in itself, may not produce pain but, since certain of the ligaments, located in this area, are not sufficiently well fastened to the bones because of -the spinal defect, even moderately severe mus- cular strain may cause back pain, Insofar as inflammation as a cause for low back pain is con- cerned, in most cases this is due | to a condition known as fibrositis, which means inflammation of the connective tissues. According to Dr. Walter, when fibrositis occurs in the lower part of the back, the con- dition is commonly called lumbago. It is possible that infections in the teeth, tonsils, sinuses, or elsewhere in the body may be a contributing | cause of fibrositis. Not Serious Disease While fibrositis is not a serious disease, when it occurs it interferes greatly with efficiency and may make it necessary for a person to remain away from work for days or weeks at a time. It not only causes backache, but also tender- ness in the muscles, The treatment of fibrositis gcon- sists in relaxation of the muscles by means' of heat and rest in the early stages, and the 'use of heat and massage as the disorder con- tinues. A very common cause of low back pain is inflammation of the joints in the spine, particularly in persons past thé age of forty. This condition can easily be diagnosed by means of the X-ray. Backache, like headache, is a warning sign that something is wrong but effective treatment can- not be given until careful investiga=- tion reveals exactly what is amiss. Cottage Industries Will Be Developed New Delhi, Dec. 30 (CP).--The in- dustrial planning committee set up by the Punjab government has | brought forward a plan for devel. opment of cottage industries which already employ more than 1,600,000 | men and women. .

Your new formal can have a fluffy skirt as full as a balloon or you cdn squeeze yourself into one of those close-fitting-down-to-the- knee frocks that will give 'you a lovely serpentine air if you haven't any hips to speak of. Hips like the spreading chestnut tree are a sore trial, Of course they should never have been permitted to expand to chair seat width. Something should have besn done the very day that cute little frock was found to be a wee bit snug and wouldn't go on without the chance of a seam splitting. An Honest Effort If Mrs. Heavyweight will make a sustained, honest, determined effory to regain the sinuous silhouette she can do it. Hundreds of women have accomplished what seemed to bs impossible. They did it by abstain- ing from an excess of fats, sweets and starches that are stowed away in the form of adipose panniers, and * Ld by making it a point to spend at least twenty minutes each day in good hard exercise. No dawdling, no shirking, no fooling, Your good looks reporter offers a simple and effective exercise for hip and thigh reducing. Don't just go through motions; make your muscles work. Lie on your side on the floor, one arm extended up under your ear, the other out for support. With a hard muscle pull, draw the knees up to your chest, then stretch them back to first po- sition and repeat. Make It a Practice If every woman in her early twenties would make it a practice to have twenty minutes of calis- thenics every day in which all the muscles of the lower portion of the torso were brought into action, if she would have a brisk walk every day, there would be no lamentations in later years about middle-age spread. Of course, calisthenics must be continued for some time and they must be done with an expenditure of energy. - Animated Movie Is New Canadian Film Venture By KAY REX Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa--(CP)--A tall, thin man, revealing in every one of his quick, light movements, the keen enthus- iasm of the pioneer, watched the first showing here of a 12-minute technicolor film based on Saint Saens' "Danse Macabre." For Philip Jenner of Aylmer, | Que., this was the premiere of the | "animated" film it took him 10 weeks to complete. For Canada, it was the first Canadian venture into the realm of animation, Considering the 500 or so artists whom Walt Disney employs to work out his sequences, this was a mas- sive job for one man. But Mr. Jen- ner, who came to Canada five years ago as an inspector with the British Admiralty, is his own artist, photo- grapher, producer, music expert and man-of-all-work. A graduate engineer, with train- ing in commercial art, and also with some theatrical background, he has all the necessary qualifications for the job he has undertaken--to promote the production of animated films in Canada. Wide Field For Animation Rather than depend on Holly- wood for their fillers, theatre man- agers might find Canadian cartoons equally suitable, Then again, "There is no subject that isn't approved by animation," sald Mr. Jenner, "It helps students to remember when they see abstract ideas transferred to moving figures on a screen ... and for the medical people thers is a terrific field in animation--the working of the various body organs may be portrayed more clearly ..." Mr. Jenner hopes Canadians will see the light in producing their own cartoons and commercials, rather than depending entirely on Holly- wood. "I want to stay here and work | for Canada in this field, but if I [can't make a living at it here then {I'l be forced to try the United | States," he concluded. Mr. Jenner's first venture is a {film interpretation of "Danse Ma- cabre." Spidery skeletons pirouette across the screen against a tech- | nicolor background. The film itself | bears a resemblance to Disney's Fantasia, but there is a "silhouette" characteristic about the figures | which is entirely original. | The amount of work which goes into the making of such a film is typified in one scene where, in order | that the violinist may draw the | bow across his violin, 24 separate | drawings are required. The tiniest movement in such a film requires approximately 24 drawings a sec- ond. And some of the figures are not more than one-eighth of an inch high. ' IN BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. .... hundreds of cans of fruit and jam are being filled by the Denham Wo- men's Institute because Mrs. W. Redmond, the president, was clever with a shilling Starting with six eggs, which she sold for 12 pence, Mrs. Redmond bought old clothes, which she converted into shopping bags. A total of £6 5s. 3d. was real- ised, thus enabling the canning ma- chine to be bought. New Soapless suds, such as soap necessary for cleaning. The light fluffy suds you get with EL are somewhat ike a frothy drink or an ice-cream soda--the goodness is beneath the froth and ubble--and lasts lodg after the suds subside. You don't need last- ing suds with VEL. I've found that the clear solution left after VEL suds dissolve, has all of VEL's origi- nal cleaning power. And it acts just as soft as rain water. That's why VEL is go easy on the hands an so beneficial in the bath-tub. VEL FOR DISHWASHING A teaspoonful or two of soapless VEL in dishpan or sink (nothing else, please!) is all that is required to speed up dishwashing. No need to add soap or any other cleaner to your VEL solution. Soapless VEL alone cuts grease quickly and leaves no smears on glass or china, nor scarcely any scum around the sink. For, hard-to-tlean pots. and pans and for egg-stained spoons and plates, VEL's cleansing action is really amazing. ar Is New Modern Cleaner by Frances Thompson noted homemaking authority Soapless VEL has changed my ideas of washing clothes and doing dishes. This modern dis- covery has shown me for all time that heavy products produce, are not 'Ar VEL VEL FOR DELICATE FABRICS I have found that soapless VEL dissolves instantly and completely in lukewarm water. This makes it particularly good for washing lin- gerie, woolens and nylons. Unlike soap, VEL is a neutral product, free from soapy alkalis. It contains nothing to harm colours or delicate fabrics. Use a little less VEL than soap (no need to add more when the suds subside). You'll find one rins- ing is sufficient and it 'eliminates soapy film and scum. VEL FOR HOUSEHOLD CLEANING A tablespoonful of soapless VEL in a pail of warm water quickly removes grease and dirt from painted surfaces, walls, windows, mirrors and tiles. No rubbing, rins- ing or drying is necessary. Just wring out the cloth and wipe off the dirt. 18-v-6D "VEL" Is a registered trademark of the COLGATE-PALMOLIVE-PEET CO.

Write Note To Thank Employer And His Wife Dear Mrs, Beeckman: The day before Christmas I re- ceived a lovely gift from my em- ployer and his wife. When my em- ployer handed it to m®, I thanked him, but I did not open it, because 1 thought that Christmas gifts were Christmas. Later I was told by one ot the girls in the office (there are three of us in the office) that it is rude not to open a gift when it is presented. Is she right, or was 1 right?--Ruth. You did just the right thing . , . to thank your employer for the Christmas gift as he handed it to you, but not to open it until "comes the time to open Christmas pre- sents." (If a gift is handed to you with no special-occasion-for-open- ing idea, then you should open the gift at once, and comment appre- ciatively about it.) However, the thank-you you said when you were handed the gift isn't enough of a thank-you. You should have written a note of appreciation (did you?) to your employer and his wife on Christmas Day, or as soon after as possible. Girl May Send Greeting Card First Dear Mrs, Beeckman: Is it correct for a girl to send a greeting card (birthday card or any holiday greeting) to a fellow first, or should she wait until he sends her one? --D.P. This is a kindly gesture that it is entirely correct for the girl to make, regardless of whether or not the man has previously sent her a greeting card.

(c) And should invitations be sent to the wedding attendants? 1. The guest's name, usually only the last namé, is written on the inside envelope . . , no address. For example: Mr, and Mrs. Graham, or Miss Foster, or Mr. Sheridan. If there are two or three girls in the family, you may write "The Misses Williamson" on the inside envelope, (On the outside envelope, their full names, with address, are used.) And on the inside envelope of the in- vitation sent to two or three boys in the family, write "The Messrs. Robinson." 2. (a) Yes, since the bridegroom's parents are the guests of honor at the wedding, their invitation is the most important one, and should be mailed first. As a matter of fact, most brides-to-be follow the cour- teous custom of sending to the bridegroom's parents, as soon as the invitations are received from the engraver, a package of several unsealea invitations, so that they may. see them at once and have them as keepsakes. Enclosed in the package of invitations is.a gracious note, written either by the bride- to-be or her mother. (b) Yes, at the time the invitations are mailed to the other guests, an individual invitation should be mailed to each member of the bridegroom's family. (c) Each member of the wedding party should received an engraved invitation. (Mrs, Beeckman will be glad to answer questions on What Should I Do submitted by readers.)

A mid- season model encountered several times this week is the shallow, pa- dre-type hat with a wide brim that is softly curled. A nice design is in pink felt with black velvet stream- ers and much black veiling.

The committee urged a fuller understanding of the general causes and treatment of misbehaviour since "often all that such a girl needs is some activity that will bring variety, color and interest into' her drab life." It recommended larger and bet- ter-trained investigation staffs to deal with the problems, and greater provision of homes, hostels and suitable lodgings.
