THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Oshawa Man and Toronto Bride : ; FRIDAY, DEGEMBER - 17, 1949, Year-End Review Shows 5 PAGE EIGHT i Barbara Ann Will Make Debut Accounts of social events and of In Glittering Ice Blue Chiffon By FRED KERNER Press Staff Writer New York--(CP) -- Two months of creativ- effort have gone into making costumes for Barbara Ann Scott. Some eight weeks ago the first sketches were drawn for two cos- tumes to be worn by the Ottawa skater in her professional debut next week. Since that day seam- stfesses and milliners -- and de- signer -- have toiled over the two filmy pieces of stage raiment to make them "just right." Thursday morning the results of all that work was unveiled by Joan Personette, designer for the Roxy Theatre, \where Barabra Ann is making a personal ppearance starting next Tuesday. The 20-year- old world champion tried on her costumes for the first time. The first, in which she makes her initial appearance, is of ice- blue ehiton studded solidly with rhinesténes. It has long fitted sleeves and the short tutu-like skirt is trimmed with, blue fur. A rhinestone-covered skull cap is topped with a tiny fur-trimmed peak, setting pIf the skater's long blonde hair. For her second number, the now- famous interpretation of Ave Mar- ia which will close the show, Miss Personette has created a simple off-thé-shoulder-effect silvercloth costume lined with pink. A cross is broidered on the fine lace neck- bi. and the headdress simulates a nurs cap. Rhinestones and bu- gle beads cover the entire dress. Head designer for the Roxy Theatre for the last 10 years, Miss Personette sald she took .special pains to make Barbara Ann's Cos- tumes "just right." "Making a debut in the profes- sional world is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrénce," the tall, attractive de- signer said in an interview. Children Have Fun At Come-Double Party The Come Double Club of North- minster United Church held its an- nual Christmas party on Friday last. Twelve of the children who are wards of the Children's Aid, and housed at the Shelter were guests of*the club, along with the children of the members. Games for the children were played then the entertainment fol- Jowed. Mrs. John Campbell's pup- pet class presented a delightful little play, this was followed by sel- ections from the children of mem- bers. The smallest entertainer was nineteen month old Rosemary Wood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Wood. Rosemary captured the hearts of the audience when she danced to "Jingle Bells," Par- ents were justifiably proud of the splendid way in which the children performed. From time to time, telegrams and parcels (reindeer horns lost by over-anxious reindeer). These were addressed to members of the club who opened them and read the messages. Finally the big moment arrived. Santa, replendent in his usual gay red suit, and having a long string of sleigh bells, came prancing into the reom. He danced around and jingled his bells in glee. The children clustered around him to tell him what they wanted for Christmas. Santa thor- oughly enjoyed meeting the child- ren, playing tricks on them and es- y grabbing the older girls and dancing them around the room. It was a happy time for everyone. After presents were given, one to each child, and candy bags, Santa Jeft with good wishes to all, and then lunch was served. The Christmas party is one of the great things of the year to the club, and the members are espec- ially grateful to be able to bring joy. to children who were guests. Programme convenors were Mr. and Mrs. George Vice and Mr. and Mrs. John Robertson. Mr. Robert- son was Master of Ceremonies. Lunch was under the convenorship of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Stewart and Mr. and Mrs, Harold Hawk- shaw. Quartet Entertains S. Simcoe H&S Assoc.

Winter Ills, Chills Need Prompt Attention | (Courtesy Canadian National *""Magazine) This is the season of the dreaded "flu", common colds and coughs. One must keep fit and build resist- ance to withstand the germ infec- tion of these dreaded enemies" Give attention to your diet. In- cluded in the dietary should be a proportion of milk, fruit and vege- tables. Drink plenty' of water. wearing of suitable clothing (which should be warm without being stuffy), having as much ex- ercise as possible, maintaining proper personal hygiene, avoiding hot ill-ventilated rooms and crowd- ed buildings, keeping your distance from infected persons, and keeping out in the fresh air and sunshine as' much as possible, are all im- portant factors towards keeping fit. If you have that heavy head, dry throat and cold, silvery feeling --it is 'advisable to take up precautions. Have a hot bath and get right to bed with a hot water bottle. Take a few doses of baking soda (half a teaspoon to a tumbler of water) at intervals of about two hours. Copious hot fruit drinks are also efficacious, This treatment should break up the "cold" if the infection is not severe, and you should be well in the morning; otherwise you should keep to your bed for a day or two, and take precautions not to spread the infection. If you have a temperature it is well to stay in bed for at least twenty-four hours after the tem- perature has become normal. Keep to a fluid diet for a few days. If your cold does not clear up it is always wise to consult your doc- tor. Babies and small children are easily affected by the cold germ, mainly because their resistance is not great and they have,little in- ward warmth. Cold does no harm to a healthy baby provided the clothing is suit- able to the weather, Properly clothed, a child will take no harm in passing through a draught, but if allowed to sit and play in a draught the chances of a chill are great. Small children who readily con- tract colds need their resistance sion, with the daily ration of orange juice succeeds in eradicating a vul- nerable spot. : A certain amount of time should be spent in the open air each day, no matter how cold it is. Baby in his pram will be quite comfortable on the coldest day if he has a hot- water bottle and is wearing an all- in-one woolly suit, or is tucked comfortably in a flannel sleeping- bag. When it is foggy or there is a heavy misty rain, baby should take his sleep in-a room with wide- open windows. Keep baby warm, but avoid cod- dling. Overclothing, for instance, will defeat its intended purpose, the weight causing fatigue and a stuffy perspiration that cannot es- cape and so causes chill. enlarge iene ---------- HOUS, HOLD HINTS To remove nail polish from a cot- ton material, sponge the stain with nail polish remover, or apply a drop ** banana -oil to soften the polish, | then use a dry cleaning soap. by Mrs. Ross Jones, proved very satisfactory.

Perrin, Mrs. George Vice, Mrs. Jack Piatti, and Mrs. Mervin Cryderman: The press reporter, Mrs. Kenneth Farrow, was returned to office. Mrs. Kell took over the presi- dent's role for the remainder of the meeting when plans were made for the coming year. The group pre- sented Mrs: William Fitches with two gifts, one to her new son, Rob- ert John, and one to her as retiring president. Plans were made for a baking sale on January 28. Each member brought a gift to be sent to the Fred Victor Mission in Toronto. A special Christmas lunch was served. The meeting closed with the Mispah. * ob KING ST. H. AND S. ASSOC. The meetingof the King Street Home and School Association was brought to order by the president, Mrs. Sydney Sharples, with' the singing of "O Canada," followed by a prayer and the "Lord's Prayer" in unison. Under the able leadership of Mr. Wallace Young, the pupils of Grade VI1 entertained the group with three musical selections. It was most fitting that Mr. Lawrence Sa- very, the Grade VII teacher, should be the recipient of the attendance prize of the evening. The young ar- tists were regaled with cake and chocolate milk following their en- tertainment. Mrs. H. C. Arnott, as chairman of the Home Education Committee, then explained the method decid- ed upon for the study this year and introduced Mrs. Jack Tane who read a paper on "Responsibility of the Parent and Character Education". Those in attendance were request- ed to submit questions on the ar- ticle read, and these would form the nucleus for a discussion at the next meeting. An interesting and detailed report was given by Mrs, McLeod, the health convener, who in turn in- troduced the speaker of the evening, Miss Beryl Williams, public health nurse. In her address, Miss Williams gave a general outline of the work of the Department of Public Health, and then went into a more detailed account of the work with the schools. A question period followed. After reports were read from var- jous committees, the .meeting ad- journed to enjoy a social period when refreshments were served. oo bd THE CEDARDALE SR.
