NEHA CSE ERT --_--_.7B MONDAY, MAY 17, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES.-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN BEAUTY FOR YOU -- A Boy Becomes Clothes Concious By HELEN JAMESON It would seem as if the gverage amall boy likes to be dirty. He . deliberately walks in mud puddles, He rebels egainst washing his hands before each meal, considers it a sissy habit, Strange to say, at a very early age he has definite ideas about the kind of clothes he should wear. His ideals are not high. He Just wants to look like all the other guys. If mama buys him a T.shirt with a fancy band around the neck he balks against wearing it. The other boys wear plain white ones. The army, the navy and the supreme court could not force him into any other kind, He has a real affection for rag- ged blue jeans; they are the proper uniform of his age and his time. I is the herd instinct. The dirtier and more ragged the better, The wise 'mother will let him have his way. What's the difference? There must be peace in the house, or the house isn't a home, A rebellious young gentleman of six or seven can make things pretty unpleasant. Getting him ready for Sunday Sohool is an ordeal, requires tact- ful management. He rebels against having his ears washed, considers it a waste of time. He has to be dragged. to the barber for a hair- cut. He has a great deal of busi- ness of his own to attend to, all manner of projeots in operation. Neat appearance means nothing. Along shout the age of 12 or 13, & boy suddenly discovers that there are girls in the world. Perhaps some pretty little gazelle makes eyes at him. There comes a ter. rific and astounding change in his attitude concerning appearance. This goes to show how early in life woman influences the male sex. He develops an overpowering de- sire to appear manly, to look hand- some. This emotion is so strong that he will now and then wash his neck and ears without being threatened wi™ dire consequences. He submits to the haircut with good grace. His mother will find him gazing into a mirror, facial expressions, as if seeking to find one that will impress the fair one. Mother must not laugh at assuming various | Snddent y there an ing change in his attitude concern- ing appearance, LEE 2 J these strange antics... She must pretend not to see them, never mention them. He is just following the pattern of his kind. The selection of a pair of socks is of the utmost importance. As for the ordeal of buying a best suit, we would suggest that. mother gird herself with all her strenght. Any seleswoman in juvenile de- partments will tell her that boys in the early teens are even fussier about clothes than are girls. The length of the trousers is never exactly right, so mother is forever lengthening or shortening them; that task becomes a part- time occupation. The boy, anxious to impress the girls, is almost pathetic in his ef. forts, not only to look right, but also to have the correct social man- ner. He lives, talks and acts ac- cording to his adolescent lights. TIPS FOR TEENS Let Your Date in on It, Too! By ELINOR WILLIAMS If you ever wonder, boys, what oes on under your date's curly Rx itr she really thinks of you and your dates together---here are some tips from high school girls' letters. HERS might be among them. , "It's more fun and easier to get acquainted when a boy plans a double date the first time we go out together. There's less shy- ness and embarrassment, and it's easier to keep the conversation going smoothly during a double date, especially if 1 know the other couple. I should think boys would like this better om the first date, "If only boys would let us girls know what they have in mind when they ask for a date. Why don't they tell us what their plans for the evening are, so we can dress for it? It isn't that a girl thinks more of clothes than of her date; she just wants to be dressed appro- priately and comfortably for what- ever is planned. Like wearing high heels, then going bowling unex- Bected] ow can a girl enjoy at? - "I wish boys would understand that when a girl asks if he has a car for their date, it's usually "FOR YOUR Holiday Pictures Cameras and Brownies Brownie No. 620 Brownie No, 618 Baby Brownie Special .. 3.75 Brownie Reflex TAMBLYN DRUGS 6 KING E - - PHONE 760 because she wants to know what to wear. We sometimes dress dif- ferently if we go in the bus than when we go in a car. We feel silly in the bus all dressed up in formal clothes and like to wear something simpler. It isn't that I object to going in the bus; I just wayt to know ahead of time. See what I mean?" "Too bad so many boys think they must have a lot of 'green stuff' in order to ask a girl for a date. We'd rather go for a walk, go to a community affair or some- thing else that doesn't cost any- thing instead of not having dates at all when he's broke. Most boys arg one extreme or the other-- they never ask for a date unless they have money to spend or else they come to your house and park all the time, never asking you to go out, Girls like to do both, in- stead of always going out or al- ways staying home."

BUNDESEN, MD, NEW DRUG FOR TOXIC GOITER Our ability to control and. cure toxic goiter has been vastly increas. ed by the discovery of a new drug known as propylthiouracil. Its de- velopment illustrates how well mod- ern science knows how to make use of a promising lead to give us ever better weapons in our fight against disease. x A few years ago a substance call- ed thiouracil was found to have very beneficial effects when used in the treatment of taxic goiter. But useful as it 'was, this drug also caused certain bad and even dan- gerous reactions. Once these had been thoroughly investigated, chem. ists went to work to modify thiou- racil in such a way as to get rid of its bad qualities while keeping its helpful ones, The result is propyl- thiouracil, a drug with twice the potency and scarcely a tenth of the toxic effects of its forerunner. Thyroid Gland In toxic goiter, the hyroid gland produces such an excessive amount of its secretion that it acts as a poison to cause such symptoms as : TY rapid heart beat, irritability, and loss of weight. Sometimes there is enlargement of the thyroid gland in the neck, and bulging of the eyeballs, There may also be high blood pressure and excessive perspiration of the hands. Today, the use of propylthiouracil is regarded as being as safe as oper.tion for the removal of the thyroid gland. If the drug can be administered regularly in the proper dose and the patient can be observ- ed periodically, operation may, for the first time, be avoided in a great majority of cases. The drug is given each day, Rapid improvement in the symp- toms occurs with the use of propyl. thiouracil, but the drug must not ke discontinued or the dosage re- duced- just because the patient feels better. If either of these things is done, the symptoms will promply recur. On the other hand, appar- ently there are some patients who do not respond to this preparation and, in such instances, operation is necessary. Unfortunately, certain reactions to the drug may occur, such as hives, pain in the joints, sickness at the stomach, and a sensation of numbness. However, such reaetions develop in less than one out of every 30 tases. Operation Necessary If, after the use of propylthiou- racil, it is found necessary to oper- ate on the thyroid gland, the drug should be stopped for a short per. iod prior. to operation, and the pat- fent given iodine. This will serve to decrease the tendency to bleed at the time of the operation, Treatment with this drug does not require hospitalization nor is it necessary for the Patient to discon- tinue his normal activities. Except in cases of unusual severity, the medical treatment of toxic goiter with propylthiouracil would appear advisable at first. If satisfactory results are not ob- tained, operation may be performed at a later date. Medical treatment with this preparation can be continued in- definitely if satisfactory results are obtained. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS C. 0. M.: What can be done for itching scalp? Answer: Itching of the scalp may come from many causes, such as a mild, low-grade inflammation of the scalp, or the use of too strong a soap in washing the scalp. A mild soap, such as castile, is best. It would be well to consult a skin speclalist in order to determine the proper treagment for this condition. ir -------- Try a Limes-G-vette classified ad today--owll find it will pay.

After the miners and the farm- ers, the most important people in Britain today are the expor} work- ers. One of Britain's principal ex. ports is textiles--and the women who work in the cotton and wool- len mills are really V.IP.'s. Here's the story of one of them--43-year- old Elizabeth Briscce, who lives in Lancashire with her huskand Char- lie and her 10.year-old son Allan. Elizabeth has worked at the cot- ton mill for 31 years. The fine, flawless dress lengths and linings she weaves from American and Egyptian cciton, nylon and silk are known and admired all over the world. Months ago, in the midst of Britain's economic crisis, she started each day doing a job and a half. She operates six looms in- stead of four, and his increased her output by 40 per cent. Now, because of the need for even greater produotipn, Elizabeth and her workmates are working an ex- tra half-hour a day for five days a week , , . this means a 9%.hour- day, not counting meal times, and every minute is solid work amidst the din of a thousand looms. Her six looms are arranged three on eight-yards-long gangway . . . she walks miles a day tending them. Being woven into glamorous dress lengths are 28,343 fine silvery and white. threads in the warp--any one of those threads may break, and that means a fault in the fab- ric unless she is quick to spot it. What's more, she's constantly feed. ing her six looms with weft--the cross 'thread on the shuttle which travels across the loom around 80 times for every inch of weave. The noise among the looms '1 deafen- ing, but Elizabeth and her friends have learned lip reading and sign language! Elizabeth's working day starts Just before 6.30 a.m. At 8.15 she takes 26 minutes off to go home and cook breakfast; when ~Allan rushes off to school around 8.40 his mother gets back into the battle for production. She gets home just in time to cook lunch for Allan and husband Charlie, who's back from his mill around a quarter of one. A hurried meal-- no time to wash the dishes--Allan does that when he gets home from school--and they each take a shopping bag out wtih them. It's all a matter of system--Elizabeth does some shopping near her mill when she's through work at 5.30, Charlie cellects some rations on his way home, and Allan has the table set, the dishes washed and the fire alight when his parents get home. After supper and a cigarette, Elizabeth and Charlie start sharing the day's housework. - She's lucky in her husband and son, they're both handy around the house, but it's mostly 10 o'clock before they're through" all the chores and prep- arations for next day's meal. On Saturdar nights the Briscoes g0 to the movies, and on Sundays they go for country walks, getting all the fresh air they can. They work hard. and they get pretty tired, but they figure tha extra ef- fort is well worth while to set Britain back on the road to re- covery. Vacations Abroad Again Since May 1st, Britishers have been able to spread their wings aggin end travel to countries either side of a two-foot wide, ] THIS WEEK IN BRITAIN -- A Day in the Life of a V.L.P. From Upited Kingdom Information '®ifice abroad. The foreign travel ban, which was brought in last October to save foreign currency, has been partly lifted; Britishers. can now visit eight European . countries, namely France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal, Holland, Austria, Norway and Denmark. The maximum amount they will be allowed to spend abroad for the next +12 months will be $140.00 per person, with $100.00 for each child. People can only go to Switzer. land on a quota basis and it is figured that about 200,000 will be able to go. Otherwise there is no I'mit to the numbers and it looks as though vacations abroad will be popular with Mr. and Mrs. Britain. They have it worked out that they can have two weeks' vacation com- fortably on $140 apiece, with a little spending money left over. The majority of folks cannot spare more than two weeks away from their jobs! It. is not just the exciting new vacation that makes them want to travel outside Britain -- they are anxious to see and learn all about the other countries, and to meke friends abroad to make the dream of Western Union a reality. It's a Family Service It is really a family service on Sundays at the 800-year-old cathe- dral at Southwell, in the English Midlands -- even the babies go along! Sometimes the buggies are wheeled up the nave and parked in a space by the altar, while mothers take their babies on their knees; other mamas keep the car. riage at the end of the pew, with one hand ready to do a little time- ly rocking. Toddlers play with toys and dolls, while parents and older brothers and sisters are tak- ing part in the service. The invitation to bring the babies was sent out by the Very Rev. H. C. Heywood. He did not want the mothers to feel tied to their homes because they had small children. He feels that worship is essentially a family affair and he would like to encourage parents and children to come to church together. Seems a very fine idea for help- ing mothers and for bringing reli- gion to the whole family. HOUSEHOLD HINT Wash your lingerie frequently. Perspiration tends to weaken all fabrics. Garments washed often need only very mild treatment, |. which prolongs the life of the fa- bric. Garments trimmed with lace or embroidery should always be handled carefully, especially in ex- traoting water. Squeeze, don't wring. Wash knitted lingerie by hand as carefully as you do your hosiery. ° Hollywood Highlights "By BOB THOMAS Hollywood (AP). --From reading | the headlines, you might think the chief hobbies of the stars are night- club brawls, getting married and appearing in court.

By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: So many showers these days! . . +» and will you please help me with my special shower-problem ? very dear friend of mine is to be a June bride, and she has had several showers (really important ones) given for her . . . china, glass, "beauty" shower, kitchen shower, linen. I'd like to give her a shower, too, for very special reasons, but: the girls I want to invite are all on limited budgets, and although I want the party to be a shower, I want it te seem more like a get-together of these friends of the. guest of honor. Could you suggest some kind of shower and gifts that would answer these re- quirements ? Helena D. Why not a Paper shower? The gifts for this shower can be very inexpensive, but decorative and charming. They can be practical, too, and most welcome incidental equipment for the new home. Sug- gestions: shelf-papers. and decora- tive edgings for shelves; paper doilies (they are particularly beau- tiful these days) in all sizes and in many designs; paper napkins, in Jovely designs, wide range of colors, convinient sizes; place-mats and tray doilies; bridge sets (in- vitations, tally cards, score pads); white place cards, with plain edges or silver or gilt edges; playing cards; paper and parchment lamp shades; nests of boxes for dresser drawers; scrap books; decorative wrapping papers; pictures; de- corative paper boxes; -waste bas- kets; box of book-plates; rolls of paper towels and holder, for kitchen use; boxes of small guest towels (very attractive designs in these today); group of "To -Re- member" cards or telephone-mes- sage pads; small memorandum books, for purse; shopping or mar- keting lists, to be hung in kit- chen; boxes for stamps, pins, and so forth; engagement pad; box of tags and various sizes of stick- ers; leather container of labels printed with guest of honor's new name and address; box of glisten- ing (red, green, gold or silver) match-books stamped with the first name of the guest of honor, or with the new initials. An excel- lent joint gift is a large box of generous-size cards to be used for cooking recipes. "Shall We Try This;" Not Enthusiastic Invitation To ce Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Do you like the form of invita- tion that some boys use when they ask a girl to dance . .. "Shall we try this?" I don't, and I hope you agree with me! But my brother says he often uses this form, and sees nothing wrong with it. Sally B. I enttrely agree with you . .. . this form of invitation-to-dance unattractively suggests hesitation, the "try" certainly lacking the proper enthusiasm in beginning the dance. "May I have this dance?" or "Would you like to dance?" is the usual form a boy uses. Or if he knows the girl well she'll like a blithe, "This musie is marvellous, Peg! Let's dance this together, will you?" Mother Of Bride-Elect Takes Gift To Shower Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Is it mecessary and correct for the mother of the bride-to-be to take a gift to a shower being given for her daughter? Yes . . . . the mother is invited to the shower as a guest, and there- fore she, like each of the other guests, would take a shower present. Boge 'ALWAYS TO REMEMBER By Mrs. Beeckman "There is no talent born to you That Courtesy will not add thereto." (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions submitted by readers.) . Cunning Ways with Left-Overs Reduce Waste, Helps Budget In a world where there is not food enough to go around, it is shameful for so many garbage pails to 'be full 'of still edible things, thrown out in a hasty effort to clean the refrigerator, or because someone in the family complained about having to eat ham for so many meals. To reduce food waste is a triple effort. First comes careful plan. ning and burng which will do much to solve the left-over prob- lem. Second is careful food prep- aration, and third, co-operative family effort in cleaning plates and accepting well-prepared left-overs, even if it means ham in some form for a week to use up all of the meat, ; Don't buy a large roast or a whole ham unless you are sure your family will eat it down to the last soraps. Only a vety foolish homemaker loads up with quanti- ties of perishables, some of which spoil before they can be brought to the table. A bargain is not a'bar- gain unless it can be fully utilized. 10 buy a bushel of apples cheap is no saving if half the fruit goes soft before it can be consumed. Careful food preparation means good cooking, but also, fairly accu- rate estimates of appetites. If a woman can gauge correctly the amount of food each member of her family is likely to eat in a meal, she has only a very minor left-over problem. Skill with left.overs comes mostly by experience, but as a rule any food served a second time should appear in a completely new way to keep appetite appeal. Ham, for example, can be prepared in more intriguing ways than almost any other meat. After serving baked ham with sweet potatoes, try star- ring a casserole of vegetables with just a little ham and a cheese top- ping. Next time bring the ham out in a more important way again, perhaps as thick slices with an egg on each. The ham bone makes wonderful soup stock, and the fat is a perfect seasoner of baked beans and vegetables. A family with good food habits won't leave much on the dinner plates, but if there ave spoiled ap- petites to contend with it is the cook's duty to see that lavish por. tions are not served. If every homemaker would keep a check on the amount of garbage she wraps each day, making an honest effort to see that nothing which is really good food is thrown away, she will reduce her household expenditures and help save food for really hums gry persons. Casserole of Ham and Mushrooms (Six Servings) 2 cups diced left-over ham, 2 cups cooked spaghetti, macaroni or noodles, } pound sliced mush- rooms, sauted in ham fat, 1 cup sliced cooked celery, 2% cups me= dium white sause, 1 teaspoon mine. ed onion, 1 cup grated Canadian cheese. PY Arrange layers of ham, spaghet- ti, mushrooms and celery in cas- serole and add white sauce season- ed with onion (and a little pre- pared mustard, if you like). Top with grated cheese and brown cas. serole. in 375 degree oven, about 25 minutes. When serving fish the right sauce can do wonders to pep up its bland taste and transform it into really fine fare.
