THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE je False hair is terrible only when you 'need it. To add a little pigtail material where it will do the most good, to tuck in a cluster of curls for the sake of piquancy, that is something else again. You musj not refer to false hair ever, You would hurt the feelings of beauty shop 'bosses. You must call them extra pieces--sounds nicer, anyhow. That demountable tresses are staging a comeback is more than apparent. The beauty industry wel- comes this trend with joy and thanksgiving, popularity of unwaved hair is giving them the shivers. What? No per- _manents? Of course there will be. , Undulations, rolls and ringlets are too precious to give up. After all, only the young and beautiful look human with hair sleeked back, smooth as silk, without a ripple. Old-timers in the beauty industry will tell you about the rage for false hair that flourished like a green bay tree\nearly forty years ago, No matter how much home grown fol- iage a woman possessed, she had to add more to be in style. | She combed her hair over her forehead, down at the sides and back, and encircled her crown with a heavy, seven-inch, waved fringe, the purpose of which was to expand and hold up a huge pompadour. On that she pinned ga thirty-six-inch, coronet braid and enough factory puffs to fill a biscuit tin. If these three coillure items were * made of first quality hair, the total 'bill was close to $60. As they had to be sent to the hairdresser to be cleaned and rewaved, a woman had to have duplicates. All that set her back $120, In time the hair would fade or break and a new invest- ment had to be made, Then a strange thing happened. A wild rumor flashed all over the world to the effect that false hair carried the germs of a dread di- sease, The most fantastic stories were related, all based on nothing at all. The bearers of these wild tales did not know, of course, that every ounce of cut hair is sterilized BEAUTY FOR YOU-- Extra Pieces, Not False Hair By HELEN JAMESON mn J v hi a Demountable tresses are staging a comeback. * Ae by boiling before it is handled by men and women who manufacture spare locks. Over night the pompadours that held up Merry Widow hats of huge proportions, were deflated. Braids, puffs, curls and transformations were chucked into furnaces. The effect upon beauty shops was tragic. Many of them, with huge stocks of hair, went into bankrup- tey. This was before the coming of the permanent waving machine, and hair goods was the chief means of income. All this tragedy be- cause of a senseless, unjustified re- port. Now the wheels of fashion have taken a backward turn, and the cute little braids and clusters of curls are back again, The Movie Column By HELEN BANNERMMAN Canadian Press Staff Writer The next best (or worst) thing to experiencing all the vicissitudes of building a house in these times of building material shortages is to read Eric Hodgins' hilarious new novel, "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House". This story of a New York ad executive whose dream house rapidly turns into a nightmare has been bought by RK. O. as a film for Cary Grant and Myrna Loy. The Face on the Screen Anita (The Face) Colby, who has been David O. Selznick"s feminine director for five years, has finally ' relented on her stand that she would rather groom other girls for stardom than appear before the ca- mera herself and will have a role in Mark Hellinger's "Brute Force." The role will mark Miss Colby's moving from the Selznick organiza- tion to Universal-International. The State of Montana is due to get a hand in the cycle of westerns which is about to break upon us with Eagle-Lion preparing a screen play entitled "Montana." Joe] Mc- Crea is being sought for the lead- ing role, Reviewing The British movie, "Bedelia", has lovely Margaret Lockwood be- having in a most unlovely way, poi- soning husbands rignt and left. It really isn't as simple as all that and by the time an insurance investiga- tor, disguised as an artist, unravels the whole story, you'll probably be sitting on the edge of your seat. CANCER WORK LOST ' Paris -- Result' of seven years' painstaking research on the cause and cure of cancer by Prof, Jeffe Tanner, America n chemist, h in Scotswoman Praises Canadian Hospitality Toronto--(CP)--Canada is the "most hospitable" and "open-heart- ed country in the world"--and Scot- land would "love to have Canadian servicemen come to visit her," is the belief of Miss Augusta Leish- man, secretary to the Victoria League. Miss Leishman, twice decorated by the King--once with the M.B.E. and once with the O.B.E. for her hospitality work--is visiting the Dominion to become acquainted with the Imperial Order, Daughters of the Empire, to which her league is affiliated. | Describing her organization as | one seeking to further friendship among peoples of the empire, Miss Leishman said it had fed more than 2,000,000 servicemen at British serve ice clubs sponsored by the league. A native of Edinburgh, she said that parcels sent to Scotland from Canada were greatly appreciated and suggested that they should, above all else, contain tinned fruit, fat of any kind, rice, soap, cookies and canned meat. : Efforts of the I.O.D.E. to welcome British war wives brought warm praise from Miss Leishman, as did the organization's efforts to set up a scholarship fund for sons of dis- abled or dead soldier. Silver Ball Hurling At Cornish St. Ives On the Monday following the feast of St. Ia, the first Sunday in February, St. Ives, Cornwall, is the scene of a oustom known as the "Hurling of the Silver Ball." On the moming of that day, a large crowd of people, young and old alike, throng the Municipal Of- fices, where the Mayor has the Sil- ver Ball taken from his keeping and thrown to the waiting assembly to be hurled around the town for ome hour. No-one must hold the Ball longer than necessary, but must continue hurling it until twelve o'clock, when the person still hold- ing it retums it to the Mayor who duly rewards him, 4 Don't Encourage Hijgh Blood Pressure By W. H. Karn, Phm.B, High blood pressure is a com- mon ailment, especially in recent years when working hours are long, living conditions are trying and anxiety is ever present. Fortunately it is a condition that can be corrected when the cause has been determined. People with high blood pres- sure should have regular physical examinations, then follow the doctor's orders until the condi- tion is improved. Only by strict adherence to the doctor's advice can serious consequences be avoided. - Never take medicine unless the doctor prescribes it, then select a trusted druggist to compound the prescription, Karn's Drug Store India Reception To Church Work Montreal, Feb. 12-- (CP) -- The people of India now are more will- ing to listen to the teachings of Christian missionaries than they were before the war, Mrs. A. Earl Toombs, on leave from India, told the Women's Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Mrs. Toombs said one of the fea- tures most evident to western visit- ors to India was the disease and the deformity among children. There are 1,000,000 lepers, and 1,500,000 of the population are blind. Hindering the treatment of dis- easeé was fear which must be over- come by Christian teaching. From 150,000 to 180,000 women die in childbirth every year - and thousands of children under ' five die every year from unhygienic con- ditions. Mrs. Toombs called for support to missions to aid in alleviating these conditions. 'The Times-Gazette Classified Ads Bring Quick Results. See Us FIRST For Your Spring Outfit! Queues, Coupons . Still Headaches By HELEN ADAMS FRAME London, Febs13--(Reuters)--Fa- shion here these days is initialled with a queue for two questions-- how long is that queue outside the store? and how many coupons have I got? Understandably, then, British women read with a pained expres- ston of whimsical new styles in a flurry of "high style" fashion shows here recently occasioned by } the roya] tour of South Africa. New coupons don't come in until the end of March and the 30 per person have been strecthed to cover clothing needs since last September. These 30, mind you, have to cover sheets, dish towels and any material used in brightening up the home. A svelte new suit "just right for spring" may cost a blunt eight coupons and even if, with a soul- wrenching emotion you decide to spend them, you'll be up a tree for shoes, blouse and gloves to go with it. But British women's hearts are basicly feminine after all and they couldn't help sighing over pictures of a graceful suit in soft wool with a chaste high-collared neckline. Hats are not rationed and they are in the shops in the gayest of colors--and the gayest of prices. A snitch of velour, a swirl of feathers and a bit of ribbon can come as high if not higher than any swank New York Fifth Avenue salon. Fascinating Hats The preview by 31 London mill- iners fascinated but frightened a bit, the conservative English wo- man, One fashion critic said of a hat which stood a foot up on one side with a nest of roses caught inside 'the inverted brim--*it's alto- gether too exaggerated for me to recommend to anyone." Admittedly, the hats shown needed spanking new clothes, a sleek hairline and sharp clean features--as well as an understanding, male. Chinchilla shaded ostrich fea- thers topped one cloche--a Breton had a three-tiered brim in three blended shades. Since the main problem of British miliiners seems to be to persuade the austerity- minded woman® here to wear hats again, perhaps they shouldn't have in effect '"dared" them to wear these models, for undoubtedly they are a little too much for the simple tailored "utility" suit. Underwear--on coupons too, of course--has been a problem these long rationing years. Fully tash- ioned stockings, including nylons when you can wheedle them out of your department store, nick three out of your coupon book. Slips, panties, girdles also dwindle your hoard by leaps and bounds. No wonder then, that advertisements occurring now and again of "slightly soiled" parachutes of white yards at about five guineas ($21)-- coupon free--brings yelps of glee and a mad cash to join;a queue. Mothers 'welcomed the news, for obvious reasons, that baby's rubber pants are slipping back on the mar- ket sheets, bibs and high-chair traycloths, too. Reports of more color for kiddies' spring clothes reached mother too. Babies and toddlers here are more or less by tradition dressed in white, However, manufacturers are breaking over the traces a bit and showing pastels and brighter colors. Pure silk and lawn frocks for youngsters are promised for the first time since the war. THREW RINGS IN FIRE Weyburn, Sask, -- (CP) -- Ome young housewife of this prairie town is thinking seriously of never remov- ing her rings again.

Many wo- men never see themselves all-of-a- piece except when they go stalking dry goods. A lady might have a beautiful back and never know it. Fancy, at the age of forty, discov- ering a good looks asset. Very pleas- ing to regard the tdut ensemble, to note that there is a harmonious unity between hat and frock, shoes, gloves, coat, coiffure, make-up. Then one really is seeing oneself as others see one. Even a small triple mirror is a pleasure. It is the only means of getting acquainted with one's pro- file, It inspires one to get busy with beauty repair work if there are signs of such need. Chin Going Double For instance, the chin that is go- ing double does not always reveal its wicked designs until one catch- es a side view of one's countenance. "w + Catch the chin's double while it is young and you will be able to thwart the project. Do it by rolling the ex- panding flesh between thumb and first finger, then frictioning with an ice cube. No sense letting the in- vader find a foothold. There's the matter of hat plac- ing. Unless you have a side an back reflection, you can't tell h the chapeau. Front and Back Many a hairdo that looks chic when you're coming, isn't anything to yodel about when you're going. Especially the upped ones, suppos- ed to be smooth at the rear, but which may have a few locks flut- tering outside the fold. Size up the heads in front of you at the matinee. Pretty messy some of them. The cropped head nice and curly at front and sides, Ds a bit stringy maybe at the nape ine, Bristol Says Cabot Discovered America { The 450th anniversary of the dis- nylon containing about 36 square | covery of America by Cabot is to be celebrated in Bristol on June 24th. Although Columbus is usually accredited with this discovery, Bris- tolians claim that he did not reach the mainland until at least a year later than Cabot. The legendary islands of the At- lantic had long attracted explorers, but they found little help in the crude maps of the time which hope- lessly muddled imagination and truth and which indicated the At- lantic by clouds and names of win and tides. At this time Bristol was one of the chief ports in existence, and her rich merchants and dare-devil ex- | plorers were always ready for ad- venture. Many of them had set out in search of land, but in vain until Columbus sailed straight across the sea to discover the West Indies. It was not until five years later that John Cabot and his son Sebas- tian were granted a Royal Charter to explore the Atlantic in search of the unknown isles, and with great ceremony they left the Bristol port and sailed down the Avon. On June 24th of that year, they arrived at the shores of the New World where they planted the flags of England and St. Mark.

Some do, of course, but their numbers are few compared to the vast majority who are "all-in" after a few hours of standing or walking and this is solely because their feet have "giv- en out." Thousands of otherwise healthy people find themselves partially in- capacitated for either work or play by painful aching feet. And yet, the following of a few simple rules might be enough to prevent this sort of thing. Of course, where there are serious foot disorders, such as flat feet, relief is not so easily obtained and'in many cases it may be ne-|f cessary to consult a doctor before anything helpful can be done. Even s0, however, the proper shoe plus the right exercise go a long way to- Tey relieving the discomfort of flat Few Simple Rules Where the feet are normal, atten- tion to a few simple rules will keep them so. They are: First, wash the feet frequently, bathe them at least once a.day, dry them thoroughly and use a foot powder, made of talc and boric acid, Hierward, Any simple powder will 0. Second, it is a good plan to have at least two pairs of shoes so that it, is not necessary to wear the same rair of shoes two days in a row. This will give the shoes a chance to dry. It is a good plan, too, to change the stockings once a day. Third, take care in trimming the toenails, The nails should be cut straight across. Otherwise, ingrown nails may develop. Shoes That Fit Fourth, be sure the shoes fit pro- perly. For walking and exercise get shoes that support the feet. There heeled shoes by women, but wear- ing them too frequently might lead to foot troubles. Fifth, exercise the feet regularly. Wiggling the toes, walking on the toes, walking on first one side of the foot and then the other all will help to keep the foot muscles limber and active. Sixth, keep the feet dry. If the feet should get wet remove the shoes and stockings, dry the feet and put on dry shoes and stockings. Walk Correctly Seventh, walk in the right way with the toes pointed straight ahead and not outward. This throws the weight on the strongest part of the feet. Eighth, don't neglect the child's feet. Examine them frequently to make sure that there are no red spots, blisters, corns and similar dis- orders present. Ninth, if these mild conditions de- velop do not hesitate to consult a chiropedist. For more serious foct troubles the orthopedic specialist should be consulted. It is neither necessary nor wise for anyone to put up with foot dis- orders. They are easily prevented and quickly alleviated in most cases. Tribune said. The Times said Kander played "seriously and correctly" but "the tone was thin and of rather poor quality and the playing was too much on a single level of intensity." WHAT SHOULD 1 DO ABOUT-- Dear Mrs. Beeckman: We are completely "at sea" about the duties of a godmother and god- father, For instance, is it true that the godmother buys the baby's christening outfit? If not, what is she supposed to buy? Who pays the church fees or any other church ex- penses? If there are any other re- sponsibilities, what are hey? x It is definitely not true that the godmother always buys, of is ex- pected to buy, the baby's christen ing dress. If she wishes to, she may offer to provide the christening dress; sometimes she makes the dress, every stitch by hand; oc- casionally a godmother lends a christening robe that is an heir- loom in her own family. / It is customary for a godparent to give a christening gift, It may be a silver mug or bowl or small plate; a silver food set, (small spoon, fork, knife or pusher) a pair of tiny baby pins of silver or gold or of white or other delicate shade of enamel; some article or articles of wearing apparel, brush and comb set, If the gift is something that can be engraved, the baby's name is usually engraved on it, the date of the christening, and perhaps also "From Godmother", or "From God- father". Very often, ag a christen- ing gift, the godparent starts, with even a small amount of money, a savings bank account in the child's name, and adds to it a present on birthdays, graduations, and at Christmas-time. And of course an excellent gift is a Savings Bond. Being a godparent involves no financial obligation. In addition to being a sponsor at the christening, the duties of godparents are: to be interested in the religious training of the child, in his education and career; to remember important events and milestones in his life, birthdays, graduation, and so forth; and if ever advice and help are needed, to give this according to one's ability. Any expenses connected with a christening, whether at church or at home, are the responsibility of the child's father. The Engagement Ring Should Be Given in Private Dear Mrs. Beeckman: The girl's family is planning to, give an engagement-announcement party at a hall, inviting the rela- tives and friends of both families. When should the fiance 'give the ring to the girl? I maintain that the ring should be presented to her by her fiance in private. But a mu- tual friend of mine and the girl My Duties as a Godmother? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN whose engagement {is being an- nounced insist that . the fiance should present the engagement ring to his fiancee in front of all the guests at the party, Wil] you please tell me who is right? RG. You are right. The man gives the engagement ring to the gir] when they two are "alone together". Then the girl wears her ring for the first time in public, at the announce-, ment party. She Did Right to Return Present Dear Mrs. Beeckman: The week before Christmas I met a fellow on a blind date. I did not like him from the very first minute I saw him, but as I had promised, I kept the date, For Christmas he sent me a beautifu] gold locket. I returned it. Don't you agree with me, Mrs. Beeckman, that that was the proper thing for me to do? Yes! No Special Gift from Maid of Honor Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Next month I am going to be maid of honor at my girl friend's wedding. Is there any particular gift that the maid of honor is ex- pected to give to the bride-to-be? G.T. No. Give the bride-to-be any ar- ticle you think she would welcome for her new home and that you can afford.
