WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE . Oshawa Bargain Days Thursday, Friday And Saturday WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT The Duties of an Usher? Dear Mrs. Beeckman: 'Last Saturday I went to my cous- ins. formal wedding, which took place in one of the largest and most - fashionable churches' in New York. When I had entered the church I was very mich surigrised to have the usher, who came forward %0 escort me to my seat, offer his left arm tp me. Of course, I took it and we proceeded up the aisle. I thought that perhaps he was left- handed, or that perhaps this was the custom in New York. I became more perplexed, however, as I no- ticed that two or three of the other ushwrs (there were ten ushers) also offered the left arm. But the other ushers offered the right arm. What Is the answer, Mrs, Beeckman? Dorothy G. I, too, have had this same exper- fence at large, formal weddings in New York, as well gs, I must add, in other cities. And I find it' just as surprising and perplexing as you do , .. that the ushers at such im- portant and supposedly carefully- planned weddings should not know that an usher should always offer his right 2rm to a lady to escort her to her seat. The only answer, I sup- pose, is that it is (mistakenly) tak- en for granted that a man who is invited to be an usher at a wedding (particularly a large, formal wed- ding) should know enough to offer his right arm to a lady. Therefore the ushers are not instructed about this, as they should be. If this er- ror continues to be as blatant as it is now, perhaps it will be part of the wedding rehearsal for someone di- recting the rehearsal to "hint" the proper escort-procedure for ushers. This procedure should be as meti- culously directed as is the proces- sional and recessional procedure « « + there should be no deviation from the correct pattern.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN When Vegetables Are Berved In Small Individual Dishes Dear Mrs. Beeckman: When, in a restaurant, the meat is served either on the dinner plate or on a small platter that is placed above the plate, and the vegetables (usually two) are each served in a small side dish, should I eat the vegetables from the small dishes or put them on the plate with the meat/ And why don't all restaur- ants do what some restaurants do; that is, serve the vegetables on the plate with the meat? S.N. Do as you prefer . . . it is correct either to eat the vegetables from the Small dishes, or to serve the vege- tables from the dishes to your plate, either all at once or in smaller por- tions. (Serve the vegetable to your plate with a spoon, or a spoon and fork . .. don't "dump" it from the small dish onto your plate!) Many restaurants consider it more prac- tical to serve vegetables in the small individual dishes because it is easier and more time-saving for the one serving in the kitchen to give each service the same quantity. Al- 80, if you don't like one of the vege- tables, it won't be on your plate to have its taste combined with the tastes of the other foods on your plate. "Pleased To to say 'Pleased to meet you" when I acknowledge an introduction. Is she right about this? Phyllis Yes, absolutely right! If you ac- knowledge an introduction with these words, you will immediately show the person to whom you are being introduced that you just don't know what's what . . certainly an unfortunate way, an unnecessarily unfortunate way, to begin an ac- quaintanceship. Make a good first impression by saying, in a gracious, cordial manner, "How do you do," adding the name if you wish, "How do you do, Mr. Davis."

Natives Gamble For Wives, Pigs Sydney, Australia, Jan, 28.--(CP) --Native wives on the Pacific is- land of New Britain are getting worried. Their husbands are becoming more and more addicted to a card 'game called "lucky' where a wife or pig is often the stake on the turn of a single card, according to an island missionary now on six months' furlough in Sydney. The missionary, Rev. R. 8. Browne, said that the natives have developed a desire for all the benefits of western civilization and privileges without a corresponding sense of responsibility.

Today they have too much mon- ey, a false sense of values, and they refuse to work. According to Mr. Browne, "lucky" is played by from two to six na- Ltives using a pack of cards and it is doubtful if any European could understand it. Wife Preserver Mr. Browne escaped from New | Britain during the Japanese occu- pation and went back to the is- land in September, 1945. He told reporters on his return to Sydney that gambling and drinking and the sudden acquisi- tion of new freedom among the | natives are creating a disturbing situation. Drink was introduced by the Japanese who encouraged the na- tives to take part in sake parties, Jlleceo | When' you bring frozen fish home, keep them in the freezing compartment of the refrigerator until you are going to use them.

Goya, who in private life is Douglas Collins, has brought with him many variants of a special perfume. He has collect- ed in Toronto a panel of 24 differ- ent types of Canadian women and is testing variants of the fragrance individually on each woman, In this way he expects to develop a perfume ideally suited to the re- quirements of Canadian women. Goya told a gathering of beauty editors in Toronto today that a perfume varies in its effect accord- ing to each wearer. Climate and living habits affect the result, hence the need for actual tests in Cana- da to suit Canadian needs in fine perfumes. When he has made his tests he will, on his retin to his laboratories in England, carry on experiments which will take one to two years before the special Cana- dian fragrance can be perfected. Goya first became intensely in- terested in Canada when, as a Lt,- Commander in the Royal Navy, he came here during the war to take delivery of a naval vessel. POOR TEACHER! -- Kroonstad, South Africa-- (CP) --The Volkskool here probably holds a South African record for pupil twins.

Establish Feeding Habits Early, And Never Force a Child to Eat To insist upon a child eating something he obviously dislikes is a sure way of provokng an obstin- ate feeding problem--to Teed such a child forcibly is invisting trouble is the warning given mothers in an illustrated folder on "Feeding Hab- its" published by the Department of National Health and Welfare. "Children, like adults, don't al- ways want the same amount of foéd .| every day, nor do they like being served the same food prepared the same way, day in and day out." _ Attractive dishes and cups always help a meal, and variety in foods in their preparation stimulates ap- petite, it is stated. "If your child doesn't finish his milk or refuses some portion of the solid foods on his plate, avoid playing the role of overzealous, ardent parent who runs the gamut * from pleas and | bribes to threats and force. Don't Lose Control Such a child quickly learns that to refuse food makes him the cen- tre of attraction, the star actor in a melodrama of frayed nerves. He'll seek many, many repeat perform- ances!" "Feeding Habits" offers advice to mothers in guiding their children's eating. Proper feeding habits should be established at an early age and guided carefully and pati- ently as the child passes through various stages of growth. The pub- lication suggests a procedure to fol- low in order to smooth the transi- tion from breast to bottle feeding and the introduction of solid foods. Appetite is usually keen during the baby's first year, but during his ~ second year he becomes choosy and develops definite likes and dis- likes in his food. This is the time when the unwary mother may find trouble. Various methcds to pre- vent or overcome such trouble are outlined. Turn Off the Radio The reason for a poor appetite are 'many. It may be a monoton- ous diet or arise from physical causes requiring a doctor's atten- tion. Bedlam in the home with the radio * basting constantly, domestic squabbles and mealtime distrac- tions are often to blame. Catering to a child's dietary whims with little thought given to balancing his nutritional daily needs may ultimately result in ser- ious illness such as rickets, scurvy and anemia. "Learn your child's requirements in foods; then makes sure he gets them." Detailed advice is also given for a corrective program dealing with the obstinate feeding problem, and the worried mother is reminded that "eating is a basic instinct. Your child will not deliberately starve himself for an indefinite period." The folders are available through the provincial department of health.

Known as the grand old lady of Beebe, Mrs, Moir was born Feb. 28 and just missed being a "leap year baby" by a matter of hours. She is the oldest resident of this district on the Quebec-Vermont border although some of her neigh- bors across the line run her a close second. . Still in good health and able to do her own work around the' house, Mrs. Moir is an active knitter and during last year she knit more than 100 pairs of tiny souvenir mittens. Some of these she sends to friends as gifts with a bit of her own poetry attached and others are sold at the Beebe church Christmas sale. "Hard work and no worrying" is her recipe for longevity. Mrs, Etta Longeway, a former Beebe resident who now lives at nearby Derby Line, Vt., is another candidate for long-living honors. She celebrated her 99th birthday Jan. 17. Although her eyesight and hear- ing are poor, Mrs. Longeway too is in femarkably good health and still gets around her home. Longevity is a characteristic of her family. Her sister, Mrs. Ro- sella Tolman of North Bay, Vt., will be 96 next April and three broth- ers lived past their 90th year.
