2 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE BEAUTY FOR YOU: When the Hair Turns White By HELEN JAMESON There are women who take on a new loveliness when the years place upon them a silver halo. This is particularly true when they have eyes of rich, brown, velvety appear= ance, and skins that have retained youthful texture and becoming col= oring. It is also true that white hair forms a softening frame when beauty has started to fade, when facial lines have appeared. So it is not always a good-looks- liability. Women react differently to the appearance of the first frosted threads. Sometimes it is just a little pain in the heart. "Oh, well, I am getting on. After all, it doesn't matter." Sometimes it brings a state of rebellion. "Why must time be so cruel?" That us- ually means that sooner or later there will be sessions with dyes or tempor: rinses. Tut pl M8 the hair turns, nobody knows. It can happen in the thir- ties, or as late as the seventies. A hair shaft is composed of & horny, transparent substance; it is like a glass tube; within it are the pigment cells that determine whether one will be blonde, drab, brunette or redhead. Ndbody has yet discovered of what this ele- ment consists. Why it disappears, nobody knows. A shaft starts to whiten at the roots, showing that the color loss starts with the new structure that is emerging from the scalp in over- lapping scales, The sensible step, when greyness appears, is to give extra attention to the care of the scalp. . Shampoos with a bland soap or creamy agent should be had every week. The ducking should be pre- ceded by a ten-minute friction-- moving the scalp about, lifting the flesh, pinching it to stimulate cir- culation. It is a good idea to apply hot mineral oil the night before the shampoo to soften the scalp and to activate the sebaceous glands, Often, when greyness starts, the glorious crown becomes dry and the shafts break at the touch of a comb. King Features Sometimes grey hair brings a of rebellion. * + * Brushing is necessary, no matter what the condition may be. It does a good house-cleaning job, remov- ing surface dust and snaking out dead shafts." The bristles cannot possibly detach live ones. The brush should be narrow, with bris- tles set in groups, so it can be cleaned easily. Much bawling goes on about pepper-and-salt locks. One hears, "If it would only turn grey all over." Time will attend to that, but one should realize that this type of coloring carries charming lights and shadows, is really attractive. state TIPS FOR TEENS:- More Dating Problems Let's see what the man in gray - brought in the mail. Perhaps one of today's problems is yours: A high school girl writes, "I met & boy two years ago. I liked him a lot. Later my girl friend asked him if he could go to a party with me. He agreed he would go, but didn't do so. Well, I didn't blame him because we didn't speak to each other very friendly. "Last year he went steady with my girl friend. This year he's going around with our crowd again. The question is how can I get him to ask me for a date. You see I am getting along very well with him now, but just as friends." Ans--You'll probably have to make the first move and invite him to your home in a double date with another congenial couple. Lots of TES 3TAY J AID boys like to play bridge or canasta and wish that more girls would play; maybe this is a possibility. If there's no dance coming up, per- haps you could celebrate your birth- day or some other event with a theatre party for a double date . . . inviting him first, explaining that you'd like him to be your guest and that there'll be four of you just for a little "celebration," etc. Buy the theatre tickets in advance and give them to one of the boys before reaching the theatre. If he accepts, it might mean he's in a date mood again. If he re- fuses, he wants to remain on a casual, friendly basis as just one of the crowd.

I ~ A Physician Advises You By HERMAN M. BUNDESEN, M.D. DIET THE diets of the baby, the growing child and even the matur- ing youngster have all come in for a large share of medical atten- tion during recent decades. The facts thus obtained 'have been passed on to parents with the re- sult that today's children are bet- ter nourished than those of any previous age. Today, nutritionists are. giving the same sort of study to diets for those in the upper-age brackets but, unfortunately, too little has been done to bring this knowledge to those most concerned, Balanced Diet Men and women over 60 are likely to give little thought to the problems of a bdlanced diet. Eat- ing habits have long since been formed and are apt to centre around favorite dishes enjoyed during earlier years when food re- quirements were vastly different. And yet there is no time of life when dietary regulation is more important. Proper food during ad- vancing years can do much to pro- mote a vigorous, healthy old age. For this result, however, the older person must make certain changes in his diet. Heat or calorie units should be cut down, since the man of 60 needs only about one-third as many of these energy producers as he did at 30 . - This means moderation in the use of sweets and starchy foods such as bread and potatoes, plus the reduction of iat to a necessary minimum, Protein-containing foods, such as meat, milk and eggs, are the most important for older peo- ple, and these should form the basis of their diet. Rebuild Tissue Starchy foods, sweets of all kinds, gravies, and butter merely add pounds to the weight, and this extra fat must have extra miles of blood vessels, which means an un- due strain on the heart. Proteins, on the other hand, rebuild tissue and contribute many needed ele- ments. By the time most persons reach 60 years of age, their diets are lacking in cglcium or lime, iron- containing foods, proteins and vita- mins A and B-complex. Lime and Phesphorus We hear so much about older persons having brittle bones. They are brittle because the diet among other things has been lacking in lime and phosphorus, such as are obtained from milk and milk products. . Calcium is necessary for the strength of the bones and teeth, for normal heart action, and for normal blood clotting, Calcium is also used by the nerve cells. A quart of milk a day will supply the . | calcium needs. Fat-free buttermilk is especially good for the elderly, because the fat has been elimin- ated, leaving a great deal of pro- tein and calcium. 'The greatest difficulty in chang- ing a diet is a person's own dietary habits. A good plan for one to follow is to write down for a week exactly everything he eats, and then to take the matter up with his doctor who can outline the changes necessary to give longer life and better health to enjoy it.

Use New Methods | To Meet Problem Of Delinquency | -- | New York --(AP)-- There's a new approach to the problem of | juvenile delinquency. { The emphasis now, says the Na- tional Probation and Parole As- sociation, is on early detection of maladjustment sympfoms in indi- viduals, and on work at top levels to build healthier and better com- munities. The NPP.A, which is a non- profit consulting and education or- ganization operating through field offices throughout the country, keeps close track of such trends in its work of raising standards in the whole area of "delinquency treatment. In the old days, explained Will C. Turnbladh, executive director of the association, corrective treat- ment usually started after some- body caught little Willie setting fire the house, burglarizing the neighborhood store or chasing sis- ter with a carving knife. And then, because it was Willie's first offense, in the legal sense, he usually was forgiven and sent home with a strict admonition to sin no more, Questionable Pardon "It was considered generous to pardon a first offender," Turn- bladh said, "and frequently this was the worst thing that could have happened to a child. What they caught his doing wasnt by any means his first symptom of dis- tress. Sending him home without punishment didn't cure the trouble." Today the effort is made to watch all children closely and move in with help when Willie shows the first signs of his inner distress: great shyness and with- drawal, or aggression and bullying. Psychiatrists are almost unanimous in saying that extreme shyness is as great a symptom of maladjust- ment as being an active pyro- maniac -- and eas'er to straighten out. For a long time, the director said, the experts believed most juveni® delinquency could be traced directly to underprivileged homes. They cited poverty, poor | environment and improper care as | prime. causes, but more recent and broader studies indicate that ju- venile delinquency closely follows the population curve: the more people, the more young wrong- doers. : Elevator Girl Says Most Men Courteous Toronto -- (CP) -- Whatever the critics say, most men are polite to women, according to a Toronto girl whose job brings her into v-ntact with thousands of men every day. In fact, handsome, brown-eyed Isabelle Bonnelli sometimes wishes that the average man were a little less courteous when meeting strange females. As supervisor of nine girl elevator operators in the 17-storey Bank of Commerce, it's Isabelle's respon- ibility to transport about 8,000 per- sons up and down every working day.

They will soon be seeing the movie "Tom Sawyer" with their teacher in the starring role, He is known as Mr. Kelly to the | 'teen-agers but to movie fans of a decade ago he was Tommy Kelly. Now that "Tom Sawyer" is being dusfed off for a re-release, he is faced with a unique situation. '""I don't know how my kids are going to take it," remarked Teach- er Kelly. "They are older now than I was when I made the picture. Seeing me and hearing me called 'Tommy' may be quite a surprise to them." Today, Kelly looks much younger than his 27 years. He is still red- headed and looks only a few years older than when he played the Mark Twain hero at the age of 12. "When I came back from the war, the studios said I looked too young even to play 18-year-olds," he re- marked. No Sack of Gold "Some people think I should have lots of money because I was in pictures," he laughed. "Not long ago I figured up my entire esarn- ings for 15 years in the movies. It come to an average of $10 to $15 a week. Kelly's discovery for the movies was according to the Hollywood legend. Oscar Serlin, now a Broad- way producer, was Interviewing a prospective actor in a New York school. The prospect didn't pan out, but the pringipal persuaded Serlin to look over some of the other boys. Kelly was among them and Serlin tabbed him for a possible Tom Sawyer, for whom David O. Selznick was searching. Tommy tested for the role and won it. Everything after "Tom Sawyer" was an anti-climax, Selz- nick kept the young actor idle, even though other studios wanted to use him. After 11; years Tommy was dropped from the Selznick contract list, Back To Teaching "After that I played big roles in little pictures and little roles in big pictures," he observed. "I was in the army for three years, then I came back and got my teaching credential at Loyola University." Kelly still keeps his dues in the Screen Actors Guild and sometimes plays roles during school vacations. * Spring Twosome Aone Slams Be happy, look lovely in this!
