FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1951 THE DRKILY TIMES-GAZETTE BEA UTY FOR YOU:- One Must Have More Than Beauty When a fellow is invited on a blind date he is not likely to ask if the girl is pretty. As he will be expected to spend a long evening with her, he is more likely to ask if she is interesting. Our part of the world has thousands of girls whose complexions are attractive, naturally or synthetically; whose slim figures qualify; 'whose chic hairdos have every tress in place. But girls with the indefinable | [6 spark that makes them gay and charming company are not to be found every day. One often hears the remark, "Oh, yes, she's good looking. She knows how to dress. But blah!" That means she has nothing to offer in the way of pleasant conversation. If she happens to be shy, that is her misfortune, but even self-con- sciousness can be overcome. More often she is self-centred, seeking admiration and doing nothing to inspire or deserve it. The obligation toward one's per- sonal appearance is recognized and, knowing this, the majority of girls and women keep in tip-top form as far as looks are concerned. Good- ness knows that millions of dollars are spent every year on cosmetics, beauty treatments and glamorous dry goods. But they are not the whole story by any means. One way to cultivate an alert mind and an interesting personality is to know what is going on in the world, to be able to talk about cur- rent events. That does not mean that one should be academic or of a serious turn of mind; one must keep in step, not fall behind. To read good books is a help. You can Jearn a lot from books, especially the clever, witty ones that make your thoughts get up and go round like a wheel and the ones that make you chuckle. They gingerize your brain--if we may coin a word. No girl can afford to rely on her physical beauty alone. She should keep in form, do everything pos- "She's good-looking, but blah!" * + » the party, the one who is in dire need of a reducing diet, whose hairdo would get no prizes, is the one lively guest who keeps every- body merry. The secret? She is a "woman alive"--always has been, always will be. A charming girl will express nice thoughts, never give expres- sion to rude ones. She will be tact- ful. Most of all, she will be re- sponsive -- which means that she will not have a tired, far-away- look in her eyes even if the person who is talking to her is a bore. ga sible to make herself pleasing to the eye, but she must also exercise her mind. Brains count as much as silhouettes, if not more.

Mrs. John H. Chipman, MBE, national president, said the money was cabled Wednesday to the Bri- tish carpet committee in Great Britain. Any further donations to the IODE for the carpet fund will also be forwarded. The carpet was donated to the nation by Queen Mary to be sold in either the United States or Can- ada to raise dollars for Britain. The IODE was given custody of the carpet when it bid to raise a fund of a minimum of $100,000 to buy the carpet for Canada. It will hang in the national gallery at Ot- tawa. The IODE exhibited the needle- point carpet' in 65 Canadian cities and towns for 25-and-10-cent ad- ' mission fees. Mother! Look! WARDROBE for Brother and Sister!

BUNDESEN, M.D. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE IT is estimated that a good many people succumb each year to a type of high blood pressure which is readily curable if the diagnosis is made early and prompt treat- ment given. The cause. of this type of high blood pressure is a noncancerous tumor, known as pheochromocy- toma which produces adrenalin or or adrenalin - like substances. When these are poured into the blood stream by the body, they act to increase the heart rate and to - elevate the blood pressure. When the release of these stimu- lants occurs at a uniform rate, the patient has a constant high blood pressure which cannot be told from the usual forms of this disorder. CHARACTERISTIC FEATURE Fortunately, however, such tu- mors orlinarily yield adrenalin only at intervals and the patient presents a characteristic picture of sudden hypertension, which lasts a relatively short time be- fore it disappears to recur at some later date. High blood pressre at any age should always make one think of pheochromocytoma. About 85 per cent of these tumors are found in the adrenal glands. The others are located along the sympathetic nervous system of the abdomen, PROMINENT SYMPTOMS The most prominent symptoms they cause are a sudden onset of headache, heart consciousness, weakness, pain, and oppression under the breast bone, accom- panied by nausea and vomiting. Between attacks, no symptoms are present. Sometimes, varying the posture may bring on attacks. During an attack, the patient is pale and alarmed; the skin is cold and moist. The *pupils are dilated and the pulse is pounding. The physician may be able to feel a tumor in the abdomen, and the examination of this tumor may cause an attack. FINAL DIAGNOSIS It has been found that. giving injections of a substance known as benzodioxane into a vein will put an end to the attack. This finding helps to substantiate final diagnosis. Removal of the tumor will cure this form of high blood pressure. Sometimes X-ray, with the in- jection of air into the abdominal cavity, may also help make the diagnosis. It is believed that early dis- covery of these tumors may save the lives of numerous individuals who are believed to have high blood pressure due to unknown causes. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS M. M.: Can you please tell me something about sprue, its cause and treatment? Answer: Persons afflicted with sprue suffer from loss of appetite, sore tongue, pallor, tiredness, and some loss of weight, but its most characteristic sign is often un- noticed. This is the presence of large amounts of fat in the bowel movements. Exactly what causes sprue is not known, but its victims are un- able to absorb or use fats, and the unused material is excreted in the stools. Recently, it has been discovered that treatment with folic acid, given either by mouth or by injec- tion into a muscle, brought about effective results.

Make brushing part of your daily beauty program for lovelier locks. ® LJ] L J TO have one's glorious crown a thing of beauty, the shafts should carry sheen and luster. The only way to acquire that ideal state is to brush and brush. Do we hear wails about weakening the per- manent? Nothing to it. If a permanent cam't stand brushing, toddle to another beauty shop where you will get more expert attention. A high-grade brush is the best investment you can make. Poor ones have weak bristles that bend and aren't worth bothering with. Comb your hair away from the crown of your head, brush sides and forelocks. Brush from nape line to crown. Place your fingers firmly against the scalp through the hair. Move the flesh and not the fingers; keep on with the friction until the scalp glows from the renewed ac- tivity of the blood streams. This is a good way of taking out insur- ance against thinning locks. Hav- ing your hirsute foliage moult is a tragic experience. One must remember that the hair, like the skin, reflects defin- itely the general condition of the body. You cannot expect to pos- sess luxurious tresses if you lose sleep, don't eat properly, enter- tain worry bugs, don't exercise. DETRIMENT TO GROWTH Some women seem to fancy that too frequent shampoos are a de- triment to the growth, That is old stuff. A weekly shampoo keeps the scalp in a healthy con- dition, removes dead skin scales, the exudations of sweat and sa- baceous glands. Have two brushes, so a clean one is always at hand. After washing a brush, place it bristles downward so they will drain.

The soft-spoken young Canadian performs on a half-hour comedy TV show every week, a back- breaking chore which many older comedians will not undertake. In addition, he works a five-day week on his crowded movie shcedule. He recently finsihed a musical and now is playing the lead in George Bernard Shaw's "Androcles and the Lion." Shortly after he finishes, he will start at Paramount in either "Sad Sack' or "Military Policeman" with Bob Hope. How does he maintain his crush- ing schedule? "Clean living," he smiled. ALSO YOUNG But that didn't sound like the whole answer and Young admitted that perhaps his youth has some- thing to do with it. At any rate, he puts in every day including Sun- day on his career, as well as sev- eral evenings. He spends all day Sunday, sometimes until midnight, working with his TV writers on the script. One reason Young fails to com- plain of overwork is because of his years of virtual inactivity. Thanks to TV, those years are over. "A couple of years ago, I was starving professionally," he recall- ed. "I was about ready to pack up and go back to Canada." He had done three pictures ("Margie," "Chicken Every Sunday " and a "Belvedere" film) in 3 1% years at 20th-Fox and was released. His ra- dio show had sputtered to a stop. Then TV put hém back in show business. "Only two weeks after my first ed to come in," he remarked. '"'Ev- en Fox wanted to see some of the films of my show. I was happy when Harry Ackerman, the boss at CBS, told them,'look --you had him for 3 12 years; if you couldn't find out then what he could do, you'll never know.'" "It's like having a screen test every Tuesday," he said. "I can demonstrate what I can do. Why, one of the executives at Para- mount told me he had never heard of me until his kids made him look at my TV show."

The report was prepared by Mrs. W. R. Lang of Toronto, liaison of- ficer between the council and the Canadian Association for Consum- ers. The report noted distributors' claims that cost of door-to-door delivery is largely responsible for higher prices of milk, and suggest- ed it is only reasonable to ask for a greater differential between de- livered and cash-and-carry prices. A switch to skim milk and pow- dered skim milk was noted. Un- fortunately, said Mrs. Lang's re- port, increased demand for these products had brough a rise in their prices, working a hardship on lower income groups and large families. or The high cost living had CROWN DIAMOND PRODUCTS ARE SOLD BY: McKenna Paint & Wallpaper, Oshawa, Ont. ® Harry Peleshock Store, Oshows, Ont. ® Vivien BA Service, North Oshawa, Ont. brought about a demand for re- institution of all-over price con- trol, said the report, while practic- ally the only possible permanent ways of curing the situation were to produce more goods or to de- mand fewer goods. At the moment the people of Canada are doing neither, said Mrs. Lang. She suggested it might be neces sary, in view of the priority of labor for defence projects, for labor to consent temporarily to working sligiftly longer hours. This would again result in making more money available to demand more goods. Thus it might be necessary to pay the extra wages in some form of deferred purchasing power which would act as a cushion against a possible future deflation. Mrs. Lang suggested "each of us realize our responsibilitiy to check the spending spree which 'is the vogue of the moment", BETER LATE For: the first time in over 22 years 4 girl has been born to Fair Isle parents.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs, Beeckman: My problemi concerns the money gift given to the bridal couple at the wedding reception. My family and I have different opinions about this. My family maintains that the amount of the gift given at the re- ception should be influenced by the type of reception given and also by the financial status of the families involved. That is, they say that when the wedding reception is to be an elaborate, expensive hotel affair, with dinner and entertain- ment, the guests are expected to "defray their expenses" by giving a larger money gift. But, on the other hand, if the reception is a simple "house affair", with light refreshments served, it is not neces- sary for the guest to give a large money gift. I personally feel that one should give a wedding present according to one's means, and also according to how much you like the persons involved 'with the plans. After all, if the bride's or the bridegroom's family, as the case may be, through their own choosing and pleasure, decide to have a big, elaborate, ex- pensive wedding reception, should the guests be expected to pay for it, or even to contribute toward it? I feel very strongly that if people wish to plan such a recep- tion, wish to give the impression that they can afford it, they should pay for it, and not count on what the guests will "contribute". For example, recently my .hus- band and I were guests at a hotel wedding reception" of a distant cousin of mine. It was a very splashy affair with all the trimmings. I happen to know that the cost per person at this reception equalled the amount of our gift. Does this mean that we were just paying for our two dinners and our part of the entertainment, and not really giving the bride and bridegroom a wedding present? Since 'we gave all we could af- ford to give, should we have re- gretted the invitation to the wed- ding reception and just sent a wed- ding present to the couple? We would all appreciate your polis of view on this subject. + Di You yourself perfectly prs 'the correct point of view when you say "I feel that if people wish to plan '| a big, elaborate, expensive weddifig reception, wish to give the im- pression that they can afford this, they should pay for it." According :| to tradition, according to the good form and good taste accepted by the best tradition, it is the bride's, family who plans and pays for every detail of the wedding reception, and since they are the hosts of the reception, naturally they are 'ex- - :| pected to plan the kind of recep- {| tion they can pay for. But I do un- <1 | derstand "!| customs and traditions are fol- that sometimes other lowed, not the generally accepted custom and tradition here, and that according to this, the guests "con- YOU JUST GUIDE... it does all the work GENERAL ELECTRIC 5 KING Ww.

If this procedure seems to you to be sailing under false colors, seems completely out of key and incon- sistent with the best traditions that are followed today, it is of course your privilege to do what your in- clination very wisely suggests . , . regret the invitation to this type of reception and, if you wish, send the bride-to-be a wedding present that is in harmony with your bud- get. Find Many Mothers Work Outside Home * Calgary (CP) -- About 20 per cent of the children attending ele- mentary grades in Calgary public schools have mothers who are em- ployed in full-time occupations out- side the home. The information was gathered in a survey of public schools involve ing 2276 children in Grades 1 to 7. Hiram F. Coulter, assistant superintendent of the children's aid department, said "I am op- posed to mothers working, but the econamic situation today is forcing them to do so." The survey showed that in one section of the city nearly 60 per cent of the mothers were working. The situation was similar in both new and old sections of the city. Principals of schools in new sec- tions expressed the opinion that mothers were working to aid in the payment for new homes and all the necessary articles to make a home complete. In the older districts mothers felt the need to work to keep up with the present strain on their husband's pay-checks. The concensus was that in most cases mothers were forced to work through economic circumstances IF NO-RINSE CHEMICALS are making your hands rough and red--change to Duz!
