Electrolysis operators af- firm that the worst cases of fuzzers have developed on the faces of women who never used cosmetics. Beauty shop operators who give facial treatments see red and are ready to go through the roof when - some knowing customer tells them that she wouldn't have a facial under any circumstances. She af- firms that, once started, facials must be continued or wrinkles will form. How that idiotic idea ever started nobody knows. A facial treatizent cleans the skin. The creams used work favorably on the texture; the delicate manipulations strengthen fibers and tissues, help the glands to function normally. . «Some women purchase cosmetics with the idea that they will work miracles over night. They use a certain cream for a time, expecting the bloom of youth to return, and, when it doesn't, they try some- thing else. Cosmétics are helpful. Distributed by Komp Features Syndicaie im.

Ancient Traditions Give Way As Malayan Women Loose Bonds By MARGARET BOWES Singapore, Dec.--(AP) -- Malay + Women, compelled for centuries to + live sheltered, self-effacing lives as semi-slave wives, are moving to- ward the freedom and independence' enjoyed by their sisters in other parts of the world. On conservative Singapore Island the symptoms. of the new way have become. increasingly evident since the war. The career girl concept is ... foreign to Malay culture; but it is +!

The + | Malay veil-scarf has become a . glamorbus aid to coquetry rather | than a dictate of custom. ! Road women in Singapore admit 'that their Chinese sisters have led the way for them. Miss Salma - Binti Ismail is" the first Malay girl ever to earn an M.D: degree from Singapore's King Edward VII College of Medicine. Now she is practising at Alor Star general hospital in up-country Ke- dah State. Miss Hasmah Binte Mohamed Ali, 22, is a first-year medical student ' at the same college, the lone Malay . girl in a class of 87 men. "When I'm through," she says, "I'm going to specialize, probably in children." To Aid Villagers Hasmah decided to become a doc- tor during the Japanese occupation, she says. "The people in the kam- pongs (villages) had no one to take 'care. of them." 5 Hasmah's family worried about her coming to Singapore from her Kuala Lumpur home, but her mo- ther encouraged both her and her older sister, Saleha, to study. Sale- he now is in England studying so- cial service on a government scho- larship. At Raffles College the feminine "revolt" has a staunch ally in Mrs. P. C. Khew. She looks after girl students in residence at Old Flag- staff House. Of her 30 girls only two are Malays. There are only five in the whole college. But 10 years ago there were none. Teaching and social welfare claim the greatest number of the new Malay career women. A handful have made a start in such widely tional standards were raised re- cently many acted, as midwives. Still fewer work sn.offices. At the college level, Mrs. Khew said, Malay 'women attain a de- gree 'of self-reliance and indepen- dence unknown 10 years ago. Already they are making their influence felt. The Mohammedan religion to which almost all Malays adhere, permits a man to have sev- eral wives. But modern Malay wo- men insist that their husbands have only one wife. The modern Malay girl feels that a career and marriage can go hand in 'hand. Mrs. Halimah Binte La- | titf of the nutrition 'unit of Singa- Pore's department of medical ser- vice vouches® for that. She 'has a husband, a six-year-old' daughter-- and a career.

Edwards is the man who touched off the epidemic of radio shows which give contestants everything ut M.G.M. studios and the Pen- tagon. Here's his comment: "There are too many giveaway shows on the air. The listening public is getting too much of this type of show._ The situation has gotten out of nd." ! This wouldn't have happened, added Edwards, if the National As- sociation of Broadcasters had taken action. "Instead of ng regulations about giveaways," he said, "the N.A.B. should do something to pro- tect the 'creator' of air show ideas. "We spent years perfecting the idea for the 'Truth or Consequen- ces' show. It was patterned after 'Information Please' and 'Prof. Quiz,' but it was the first success- ful show in which the contestant participated in the fun. We had a hit--so what happens? NBC permits: a show like 'People are Funny," and other programs pop up with the same ideas as ours." Although 'he has no kind words for his competitors, the 35-year- old quizzer upholds' the giveaway show against the onslaughts of critics. .

BUNDESEN, M.D. mse, NEED FOR FAT Practically everyone .has a crav- ing for some fat in his diet and it does help to make food taste better.

For example, bread with some fat on it is easier to eat than dry bread. : Non-Fatty Foods Fat has more than double the caloric or heat value of other foods.

Is it proper to send invita- tions to the housewarming, or an- nounce in the newspaper that an Open House party is to be given? HBS. 1. Customarily it is the host and hostess of the new home who give the housewarming... However, it is correct for a friend or a group of friends to give the housewarming . . . generally then it is a syrprise party. 2, The very best plan, when the hosts of the new home are giving the party, is for them to mail in- vitations, cards or-notes. This is the practical procedure, for then the new address will be clearly re- gistered (perhaps the telephone number, too), the occasion, the date, hours. The news that the party is to be given may be sent to the society column in the local newspaper . . . but this should be regarded merely an announce- ment, not an invitation. .Every guest should be. sent an individual invitation.
