TUESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE BEAUTY FOR YOU-- Hurry and Worry Lessen Beanty BY HELEN JAMESON Togged up to beat the band-- frock new and becoming, coiffure a delight to the eye, complexion laid on with a discreet hand and a see- ing eye -- the party-goer regards herself as she is about to dash for the merry evening. She finds a thrill of satisfaction in knowing that she looks her best. When the party is not even half over, she decides to powder her nose, is dismayed to observe that the appearance of freshness has vanished. There are fatigue lines under her eyes. She has no sta; ers. What's wrong? She feels and looks years older. Because she is weary, knows she looks it, the evening is a washout for her. Let her think the matter out. One must play and have fun sometimes; otherwise life would be dull indeed. You can't trudge along the same old beat--be it making a home or holding down a job--without get- ting more or less mildewed of spirit. If you know that you are well and strong, and if you can't get through a social evening without wilting al- most at the start, you d rea- lize that your daily living plans are not what they should be. You are overdoing, mentally or physically! You are hurrying or worrying, or you are not getting enough sleep. The whole world is in a state of tension, and this unhappy state of affairs is reflected in the faces of thousands of women. All the more reason to cultivate tranquillity of mind; all the more reason to have regard for the laws of health, to conserve one's energies. Every wo= man should pray for peace every day of her life, not only for peace for the world, but also for. peace within her own soul. Confusion is devastating. The average woman is going at a terrific pace, every day filled with activities of one kind or another. She'll have to slow up if she is to carry on efficiently, The human machine can stand just so much wear and tear, and no more. One must be strong and brave. The woman who goes about every Shea, 2 : Avold harry. Avold worry. Get Tlenty of sleep. LS ! task complaining and moaning may be a sick 'woman or she simply may be a weak' sister. She will age be- fore her time, Instead of adding to the gaiety of family life, she'll be an ever-present cloud in the home atmosphere. Beauty 'aids won't help a bit un- der such circumstances. One's viewpoint must do a turn-about. One must desire to be efficient and useful, have a place in the world. One must be ashamed to harbor gloomy thoughts that deprive one of every semblance of youthful ap- pearance. Avoid hurry! Avoid worry! Get plenty of sleep! Eat simple, nutri- tious food! Find time for a little outdoor play or exercise every day! The Movie Column By HELEN BANNERMAN Canadian Press Staff Writer Canadian film circles are buzzing over the possibility that the up-and- coming young Montreal Company, Quebec Productions Corporation, may screen Hugh McLennan's best- selling "Two Solitudes". They have the inside track to bring the book to life before the cameras. Chairman Paul Langlais dreams of building . w an all-Canadian company and part of this centres on Canadian es. The company's first productions, French and English versions of the novel "Whispering City," have had to rely on Hollywood for about 70 per cent of their technicians and cast, Canadian angles have included the setting, Quebec City; the star , of the French version, Paul Dupuis; Nicole Germain as the French her- oine and a group of. other Mon- treal actors who played small parts; John (You'll get used to it) Prgtt, as the managing editor in the Eng- lish picture; orchestra: leader Jean Deslauriers, playing' himself; an original concerto composed by 18- year-old Andre Mathieu. Behind this amray of native tal- a to take over key technical jobs themselves. Heading them is ed Jarvis of Vancouver who cut his movie teeth producing the RCAPF.'s "New Faces," & documen= ished for spring release, won't known by their working titles, Stronghold," and 'La For- tresse," but the new names have not yet been announced. Currently the company's six-acre studio and lot at the former naval barracks at Ste. Hyacinthe are snowed in. The snow will be featured in the next picture Dans La Tempete" (Smiling in the Snow), if present plans take shape. Euro- pean director Harry Sokal, who has specialized in snow pictures, will di- rect, Future plang include the possibil- ity of having Toronto-born Walter Huston make the screen version of the play, 'Apple of His Eye," in which he is starring. p Paul former Montreal OBC announcer who played the ro- mantic lead in "Johnny Frenchman," is reported to have turned in such an excellent performance in "La Fortresse" that the compan tried Rank, but without success. Instead they have 'made arrangements to borrow him for at least one other film, probably in English.

Considering that Dickens is our greatest national novelist, he has been sadly neglected by film producers. Hollywood made a smallish "David Copperfield" some years ago, and a couple of half-hearted attempts to bring Dickens' novels to the screen have been made in this country in the past. But now the novel which many Dickensians consider his greatest --indeed it has often been voted No. 1 novel in English literature --has been made by Rank's star team, the Cineguild unit, which was responsible for "Blithe Spir- it," "Brief Encounter," and "This Happy Breed." Before any shots were taken many months were spent in re- search and prospecting. for loca- tions, in the "Great Expectations" country, beween the old Dover- road and the Thames Estuary, and the script was "vetted" by the secretary of the Dickens' Fel- lowship, Stars are John Mills and Valer- ie Hobson, who was so pleased with her first period role that she agregd with alacrity to play "Blanche Fury," another period character to be made in Techni- color next month, Others in the cast of "Great Expectations" are Francis Sulll- van, Martita Hunt and Alec Guin- ness, - Gadabout Gown Choose this frock for its smart slenderi; manner and graceful push-up sleeve.

Emotional Upset Causes Stuttering By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. It is difficult for the person who speaks easily and smoothly even to imagine the sufferings of the mil- lion and one-half men, women and children in the United States who are afflicted with stuttering. Speech is a normal human fac- ulty and ordinarily, words, formed in the mind, flow freely and almost automatically from the lips. But when those who stutter attempt to speak, we see what a complex pro- cess utterance is. There seems to be a spasm in the vocal cords, trouble in breathing, trembling of the tongue and the lips together with visible contractions of the | muscles of the face, neck and | shoulders. Sometimes during the attempt to speak breath is drawn in instead of being blown out. Much to Learn We still have much to learn about the causes of stuttering. Many answers have been given but most out the actual proof needed to sup- port them, as, for instance, the be- lief, once held, that stuttering might be due to some shortcoming in the organs of speech or to some injury to the brain. It was also held for a time that stuttering might develop as the result of changing a child from left-handed- ness to right handedness. It does seem evident, however, that stuttering is connected with some disturbances of the emotions. Sometimes stuttering may be brought on by an accident or a se- vere shock. Children who have been separated from their parents and are thus emotionally disturbed may begin to stutter. If the home sur- roundings are filled with excite- ment and emotional tension the children may develop stuttering. Not a Bad Habit Stuttering is not just a bad habit which can be overcome: by speech training and exercise. Rather, it is an indication of dis- turbed emotions whoch need ad- justment. It is interesting, that there are from three to eight' times as much stuttering among men as among women. Just why this is so has not been found out. The fact that a person stutters is no sign that his intelligence is in any way abnormal. It would appear that stuttering runs in fa- milies. Often when children first begin to talk they may frequently repeat words or parts of words. They do this because they talk faster than they can produce the different »| sounds, This is not abnormal and is no cause for concern. In treating actual stuttering, building up the patient's general health and avolding physical and mental strain are important. Some actual speech training is also of value. It is helpful to teach the pa- tient to relax all of the muscles of the body. However, the most im- portant part of the treatment is to correct the emotional instability. It may be necessary to change the patient's environment, to find out- lets for developing the good points of his character and to change his social contacts. It is possible, with proper treatment, to cure stuttering | completely. French Varaty Girl Recounts Experience Toronto, Jan. 6--(CP)--Youthful Anne-Marie Candlot, holder of the Croix de Guerre and now a Univer- sity of Toronto student, told yester- day in an interview of how she dir- ected a French Forces of the er ior operation which harrassed 5,00 German soldiers until they could » engaged by United States troops. For several days the Germans were surrounded by only a handful of men in a small area near the | town of Albi in Southern France. No | matter which way they turned they always met gun fire and were for- ced Eventually to stage 'a massed break through. This delayed them long enough for the Americans to reach them. During the five days, Miss Cand- lot said, she was almost constantly on the telephone, calling farmers in the area to obtain information on the direction the Germans were turning and then teleploning mem- bers of the F.F.L to meet them. Hospital Cleaner Gets BEN Award London, Jan. 5 -- (Reuters) -- Cleaning woman, Mrs. Amy lavin- ia Stokes, employed for the last 26 years at Harefield County Hospital, was awarded the British Empire Medal "for loyal and devoted ser- vice" in last week's honors list. When Mrs. Stokes' husband died in 1026, she was left with seven children. She got jobs for four of them at the hospital and continued working herself "Nobody here has ever heard Mrs. Stokes grumble or complain," a hos- pital official said today.

Oshawa Glamorizing Try Different Eye Shadows By HELEN FOLLETT of them remain mere theories with- |° Screen star Joan Caulfield knows that the right eye shadow is important. L LJ With the holidays over, the kids going back to school, a woman can give thought again to this business of keeping fit, young and appealing to the eye. She can count her Christmas money and it may occur to her that a grand old spree at the cosmetic counter will be fun. She will find some new offerings that will make her heart glad. For fra- grant toiletries let all of us be thankful. They make lovelier the feminine phiz and, withotlit ques- tion, they do something t& the soul. Beauticians are accenting eye shadows, as well as they might, be- cause there are new shades galore. Instead of the same old blues and greens, browns and greys, there ara colors that take on the brilliancy of jewels. Jade Eye Shadow The red-headed girl can select jade that will bring out the Titian tints of her flaming thatch, It is her best bid for lid pigment. The girl with copper-colored hair and L 4 LJ hazel eyes will select topaz and nev- er regret it. Or, she may prefer am- ber that will give her eyes a golden ook. Sapphire will enhance the blonde and the brunette, It is a friendly color, giving depth to the eyes. An interesting combination is a light blends sapphire, close to the lashes. Sapphire is darker than turquoise and forms a pleasing shaded effect. For the white-haired lady who usually sticks to mauve to enhance the beauty of her eyes, there is a lovely opal that will delight her. All these new colors come in a soft pomade that spreads easily. The trick of course is to know where to stop. The application should not extend beyond the far ends of the eyebrows. While eye shadows are supposed to be an evening indulgence, some of the new faint shades are used during the day time. Beauty rules seem to be made to be broken, so why not? Woman Lawyer Warns Women Declaring it "unfortunate that there appears to be a definite cleav- age" between women who mi their homes their chief interest those who find it necessary, or have an inclination, for a career outside the home, Miss Margaret Hyndman, KC, warmed Zonta Club members in Toronto, that if this continues to increase "we won't see equality in opportunity or citizenship be- tween the sexes." An 80-year-old man, applying for a marriage license at Seminole, Okla., was stunned when asked the given name of his bride-to-be, WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT--- A Girl Meeting Her Blind Date? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Blind Date Doings Dear Mrs. Beeckman: When a girl and her boy friend arrange ga blind date for a girl friend, is it really necessary (as my mother insists) that they take the blind date to the girl"s home to in- troduce him to her? Dot Yes, that's the proper way, and the best way for all concerned. And (as I imagine your mother dlso said, or at least had in mind to suggest), this gives an opportunity also to introduce the blind date to the girl's parents. If the two cou- ples are going to the movies or to a dance or whatever, they need stay at the girl's home only a few min- utes, but those few minutes of chat with the girl's parents, or parent, are important. MN. Invitation to Ball Given by Club Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Our club is giving a ball, and we are inviting many very important people, such as the Governor, two or three consuls, and other distin- guished guests, I'm the secretary of our club, and therefore have the job of extending the invitations. I would deeply appreciate any help you will give me on how to write' the letters of invitation. You haven't given me very much information to go on, and I am par- ticularly perplexed because invita- tions to a ball are generally engrav- ed, not extended in the form of let- ters. The following form of invitation may answer your purpose, and it should be engraved: The Club requests the pleasure of your com- pany at a Ball to be held at the clubhouse on Saturday, the first of March at ten o'cock Please address reply to (Name) (Address) Name fo: Their Grandfather's New Wife Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I am in my early. forties, and quite recently was married to a widower who has three grown children, all of whem are married and have young. children. I get on very well with all of my husband's children, and they all call me by my first name. I like the feeling this gives among my husband's children, but I feel that it is not suitable for their children to call me by my first name. It's difficult for me to choose a name, but since these children are young it would be easier for them to begin now calling. me another name. Can you suggest anything? 'They eall my husband "Grandpa", but since some of the children are old. enough to remember their grandmother 'it would be, I think, a little odd for them to call me that--and I'm sure I wouldn't like being called that anyway! PAL. There are several name possibili- ties that may solve this problem and you and your husband should indeed make this decision now, when the children are young. Some- times a young child will mispro- nounce a name or title so charm- ingly or whimsically that this mis- Perfect Girls Rare In United Kingdom London, Jan. 5--(Reuters) --It is the exception rather than the rule to see g perfect specimen of young womanhood in the United Kingdom, Dr. Olive Rendel, physician at South London Hospital for Women, told educational nurses at the win- ter school organized by the Women Public Health Officers' Association in Bedford college. In the course of her duties she sees many girls between the. ages of 16 and 18, she said, and the standard of health of the great majority of them is not good. This was a reflection upon the national economy, Dr. Rendel add- ed, also upon the system of feeding. Nine of 10 working girls in the country could not have sex explain- ed to them, said Cyril Bibby, senior lecturer at the College of St. Mark and St. John, London, simply be- cause they never had heard of six or seven words. Parents, Bibby declared, must get rid of the idea that there was any- thing shameful about sex. For quick results--use Times. Gazette classified ads.
