A slesta is efficiency, not laziness. It's only common-sense to pro- vide some time in your busy sched- ule for restocking your energy. Af- ter such a respite, you can make far better use of your afternoon and evening working hours. And you can hang up your towel after sup- per dishes are finished without that all-gone feeling to spoil what remains of the evening. Although cat-naps in chairs or quick snoozes on the couch are bet- ter than no rest at all, best results are obtained from a real sleep, how- ever brief, on the bed. : This does not mean that a fresh- ly-made bed must be disarranged. An extra coverlet from linen closet or blanket chest will suffice. It's a good idea to remove your dress as well as your shoes, so that your body can relax all over with- out binding or construction. A housecoat laid out nearby will pre- pare you for emergency calls to door or phone. Do Not Disturb Some women even quite un- abashedly post notes on their doors asking callers not to disturb them for a specified time while they nap. _. Whether you are the note-post- | ing type or not, mark out in.your own mind the number of minutes you plan to sleep. This may be 15 minutes to perhaps two hours, de- pending upon individual needs. Too- long naps are not advisable, as they are time-wasters and leave you too groggy for efficient work thereafter. After sticking to a brief-sleep schedule for a few days, sandwich~ ing it in during baby's nap or whenever else there's time, most women find it easy to take full ad- vantage of their rest time. They drop immediately into slumber wiusout interrupting themselves, either mentally or physically, with household tasks still undone.

Families Deserting Big Cities in Favor Of Life in the Country Thousands of families today are | deserting big cities in the United | States to return to small towns in| search for a better way of life.

In its over-all at- mosphere, one finds that the small town judges and appreciates one as an individual. To the jaded cit; dweller, these advantages have an almost-antique ring -- relaxation and fresh air, shoe-scuffling room for the chil- dren, a place to park the family car. The thousands who are turning to the small tons to find a full, rich life for themselves and their families are demanding their rights to be individuals as opposed to be- ing part of the big city herd.

Mrs. Soma Banerjee, lecturer in the women's. college at the Tni- versity of Calcutta told the Cana- dian Institute of Public. Affairs here that Indian women have been wearing make-up for centuries and in some cases mix the ingredients themselves, using ancient recipes. One of the best formulae is the preparation of eye-shadow, when sometimes as many as six ingred- ents including soot obtained from burning camphor and purified but- ter, are used. "Some of the eye-shadow used by our women," she said, "is me- dicinal and girls wear it from the | time they are babies. "In some villages and rural areas | women even mix their own powder and lipstick, but they don't wear it as often as women do here."

Woman Carpenter "Happy With Job" Edmonton -- (CP)--The woman of today no longer ties herself to the kitchen stove and the scrub mop. A good example of a wom- an doing a man's job and doing it well is Miss Marie Kolasa, an Ed- monton carpenter. Since 1943 Miss Kolasa has been working in the sash and door department of a lumber and millwork company. She forms and finishes combination doors and windows. Now assistant to the department foreman, Miss Kolasa says "I wouldn't want another job for anything." MONDAY, AUGUST 28, 1950 [O WOMEN -~ =, 'New Comedy by Robertson Davies ( Highlights Peterborough Celebration Peterborough, Ont., Aug 28 (CP)--A new comedy by Robert- son Davies opens here today. It's "At My Heart's Core" -- a play set in Peterborough and writ- ten for the city's centennial cele- brations by the editor of its daily newspaper. Mr. Davies, editor of The Ex- aminer and one of Canada's lead- ing essayists and playwrights, de- scribes "At My Heart's Core" as "a play of Ontario during the re- bellion of 1837." Its setting is an old house that still stands on the northern out- skirts of the city. Five of the eight characters are actual people who lived in the district. It de- picts the social and political un- rest caused by the rebellion and the way it affected the lives and thoughts of pioneers in the back- woods settlements north of Lake Ontario. It describes a single day in De- cember, 1837, during the rebellion led by William Lyon Mackenzie. On that day, three ladies, whose husbands are with the loyalist forces, discover the dangers and temptations of the forests of Up- per Canada. Staging the play is the Peter- borough Little Theatre, organized last summer by Michael Sadler. The cast includes Donald Glen, Kate Reid, Brenda Davies, John Primm, Frank Perry, Marjorie Root and Clarine Jackman. ; The action takes place in Au- | burn, the home of the late Hon. Thomas Alexander Stewart, an Irish gentleman farmer who was a Justice of the Peace and promi- nent in politics. His wife, Francis Stewart, was an able naturalist whose letters were published under the title "Our Forest Home." Susanna Moodie, known to all Ontario school children for her book "Roughing It In the Bush," figures in the play. So does Cathe erine Parr Traill, whose "The Fe- male Immigrant's Guide" was a best-seller in its day, and whose "Canadian Wild Flowers" and col- lections of children's short stories now are collectors' items. Other historical figures are two of the Strickland sisters of near- by Lakefield and a Mr. Cantwell, a mysterious Irish traveller of the 1830s in Upper Canada. The opening of the play is one of a series of two week-end events by which the city is celebrating its 100th anniversary of its incor- poration.
