Again the accent on sleeves with a deep puff Pr Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS | Hollywood (AP) -- Glancing at week's news in movietown: The president of the Theatre Own- ers of America has declared that one of the biggest problems of film house owners today is "More and more roadshows." In the Los Angeles area, seven ordinary films are being advertis- ed at premium prices. The principle of the road show has long been attacked by some observers who argue that movie patrons are expected to take the good with the bad throughout the year. Then, when a superior pic- ture comes along, the patrons are required to pay extra for it. IDLE ROYALTY How times change. A couple of years ago, you would never expect the king of one studio and the queen of another to be off salary. But that's true today.

Insufficient Breakfast Results In Lassitude During the Day "I'm hungry" is an old expres- sion so often heard, but not in the morning when the need for food is greatest. Instead, at 'this time of day, the too familiar cry is "I haven't time". The home economists of the Con- sumer Section, Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture tell us that special attention should be directed to this neglected meal, Breakfast means breaking the fast, the fast imposed by sleep, which is usually the longest period without food. Upon wakening, the body's energy supply is low and needs to be re- | ¥ y onists state that a good breakfast should supply about one- third of a child's food needs for the day and approximately % lo one-third of an adult's. Because young and old require the same kind of food, all can eat the same breakfast, provided the quantity served is adapted to age and ac- ti A basic breakfast pattern con- pists of fruit, whole grain cereal with milk, bread with butter and beverage, but it may include an- other main dish. As there are many foods to choose from for each course, variation from day to day is not difficult and should interest the family. Fruit or juices usually start the meal, but they may be eaten last, if a hot dish is preferred at the beginning of breakfast. Bread, either white or whole wheat, plain or toasted, can be- come monotonous. For a pleasant change, why not serve hot buns or tea biscuits, bran, corn or fruit muffins, but don't forget the butter and a little marmalade, jam or honey. Another tempting altern- ative for toast is golden brown waffles or pancakes, made with either fresh or sour milk and served with butter and syrup. In- teresting flavours may be had by adding apple, berries or other fruits, to the batter before cooking, or by serving apple slices, bacon, ham or sausages with them. The beverage for children should always be milk or on cold, frosty mornings hot cocoa made with milk. Adults may have their choice of tea, coffee or milk. Cereal for breakfast is not as ~ popular today as it should be, or has been in the past. In fact, to- day this important food is often omitted from the merning meal. Wholegrain uncooked cereals, when served as porridge are us- ually more nutritious, economical and satisfying than the packaged, ready-to-eat cereals. If 'the un- cooked cereals take too long to prepare in the morning, they could be partially cooked the pre vious evening, or if the kitchen equipment includes a pressure. cooker, then this provides an ideal way to make porridge quickly. Serve this good food with a sprinkle of white or brown sugar and milk or cream, pr topped off with slices of fruit, or raisins. Other 'dishes for a hearty, sub- stantial breakfast should provide no problem. Every member of the ve pe --\N/HY ?m-- Send your furniture to Toronto? ® Have it reupholstered locally, at . ..

Fried potato slices or mashed potatoes left over from last night's supper, may also be served. For those who wish an old fashioned breakfast like their grandfathers, there are, fish cakes, sausages, fish, liver and Kidney, These foods add not only flavour, but extra food value to the meal, if "served at breakfast they should not appear again the same day at another meal. It is the homemaker's respon- sibility to see that the family eats breakfast. If the reason for not eating is "I haven't time," then a little preparation at night, to make it quick and easy, will help save time in the morning. Set the table, place pots and pans and ingred- ients for cooking where they will be used, have the children's cloth- es and school books ready and plan to get up a few minutes early. By making it sound, smell and taste good, breakfast will soon be the favourite meal, but it should be eaten without rushing and hot dish- es should be served hot. To do this, it may prove more convenient to serve each member as they are ready, rather than plan to all eat together, The family's next sub- stantial' meal may-aot be until evening and the reward of a good breakfast is vigour instead of fat- igue, and enthusiasm instead of listlessness during school, work and play. Increased Demand For Bagpipes! Recently, a firm of bagpipe manufacturers in Greenock re- ceived an order from a Canadian Territorial Regiment ' which pro- vided an example of hustle on both sides of the Atlantic. On Wednesday morning the firm received a letter requesting the despatch of a set of pipes. The fol- lowing day the managing director, Mr. Hector Russell, was heading for Prestwick Airport and within a few hours the instruments were en route for Canada. The next day a cable arrived saying that the popes had been found satis- factory and a further 19 were or- dered. A month later the same band ordered one set of pipes to' be fitted entirely with silver fit- tings. > The latest overseas customer is a band in Toronto. This firm has supplied in 'the last 14 months more than 100 sets of bagpipes to a music dealer in Vaficouver who had not previously dealt in them. MGM, respectively. Eye-openet on the cost situation was offered by figures on *"'The Fourposter." The picture was film- ed on one set with two players -- Rex Harrison and Lilli Palmer. Cheap, you think? The bill came to $600,000 Best news of the week was the announcement that Toronto-born Mary Pickford will be returning to pictures. Today's youngsters may not have seen her onthe screen, but their parents remember her as a symbol of a pleasant era.

We visit their home and they visit ours; and we all are in middle age, the parents of married children. Once at our house, and once at their house, Ben became quite drunk and started kissing my wife. I didn't say anything the first time it happened, but the second time I told Ida that I didn't like it -- Ben kissing her when he is in that condition. She tried to pass it off lightly, but I don't think she likes it any more than I do. I have told Ida it is her place to put a stop to it, but she is too timid to say anything. If she doesn't rebuke Ben, I know his presumption will continue. And if she doesn't say something, I will -- and that may cause trouble. Jealousy has nothing to do with it.

I tell my wife it shows lack of re- spect for her when Ben behaves this way. Am I wrong in objecting? And what should Ida say to him if it happens again? What is the best way for her to eurb it, for the good of all concerned? Please answer soon. ia HUSBAND ISN'T FACING HIMSELF DEAR J.8.: It seems to me that all -partiés to this problem are somewhat confused about the mo- tives that spark their actions. And as you've submitted the matter for discussion, let's go over your per- formance first. Certainly you have some warrant to disapprove Ben's using drunken- ness as an excuse to flirt with Ida. But if she is indeed to timid to rebuke him, as you claim, and if you were wholly concerned (as you think). about upholding her dignity in the family circle, it would be natural for you to move involuntarily to her defense, at such times as Ben tries to kiss her when in his cups. The fact that you remain speechless and frozen in your tracks, equally miffed at Ida and Ben, indicates that you are gripped by jealousy -- and unwilling to admit it. In arguing your objections on grounds of "principles" rather than feelings, it's as if you were implicitly denying the existence of emotional attaciiment to your wife. Yet I think you are uncomfort- ably surprised to discover how much you care, possessively, when another man who knows her well gives evidence of sentimental at- traction to her. Instead of being honest with yourself on this point, and more gallant to her in con- sequence, you seek refuge in a scolding attitude -- to preserve the fiction of taking her for granted, as usual. DEVOTED SPOUSE BEFRIENDS WIFE A cordially devoted husband, who didn't mind going on record as prizing his wife and holding her worthy of reverence, would prompt- ly reach in with a friendly word and a sheltering arm, to rescue her from the amative clutches of a "slobbering" drunk in a parlor group. The more especially if his spouse is habitually shy and soft- spoken -- the picture you paint of Ida. What would he say? He might say to the drunk facetiously, "Look out, old fellow; you've got the wrong girl." Or "Excuse me, wolf, but this is my wife." Or 'Careful now, don't embarass your hostess." (Or "your guest" as the case may be). Meanwhile he would deftly aid his wife's getaway. Well, so much for helpful diplo- macy you might provide, if. you were less inhibited and less anx- ious. However, it's certainly true that Ida herself should give Ben a cue to behave more decorously. This she may tactfully and em- phatically do, by simply and direct- ly turning aside, when he reaches for a kiss. In managing a drunk, a tacit rebuff is usually more per- suasive than an earnest statement of protest -- because less apt to start a futile debate. I don't agree that Ben's kissing mood signifies lack of respect for Ida. Rather I think it means that essentially he likes her; but still, if she were to tolerate such non- sense indefinitely, it might lessen his esteem for her. As to why she lets it happen, maybe she's fond of him too, in a sisterly way, and possibly his giddy tribute makes her feel young again for the mo- ment. If you were more attentive, plainly showing affectionate inter- est, she might feel bett re aelbto ing, when ironing the treated fabrics, the iron should be several degrees cooler than is ordinarily used on cotton fabric.

Lose Mo EVOL, The Experts Say By KAY REX Canadian Press Staff Writer Housewives are getting too con- ditioned to high prices. When they do find something that's cheap they won't believe either their eyes or their noses. They'll squeeze it, smell it. Finally, they'll end up by asking the clerk what's the matter with it. If he says nothing is wrong they won't believe him anyway. They'll go off" in high dudgeon and buy something that costs twice as much. Because it's twice as ex- pensive, they'll be certain is must be good. The Canadian Association of Con- sumers is worried about this too- good-to-be-true trend among wo- men shoppers and is trying to stamp it out. "Let us plan our buying care- fully, and . . . allow more time for our purchasing," it says in the bulletin it distributes monthly. The CAC told of an experiment in British Columbia in which the manager of a chain grocery store tried to prove that consumers buy by price. He divided a batch of identical tomatoes, selling part of them for 25 cents a pound and the rest for 29 cents. At the end of the day all the 29-cent tomatoes had been sold. Hardly any of the 25- cent ones were touched. . The Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association found in a survey that when foods went be- low a certain price, people wouldn't buy them. Hence, at the height of the lettuce season people wouldn't buy a five - cent head of lettuce. We saw the same thing happen in Toronto -- at the St. Lawrence market. Chickens were selling - t stall for 50 cents a pound. One woman was suspicious. '""What's the matter with them?" she asked the vendor. He was indignant. "Nothing's the matter with them," he replied. She moved on, but we bought one It proved to be the cheapest and best chicken we've eaten in ages. Just goes to show that nobody can afford to be suspicious all of the time. TASTY AND THRIFTY The CAC recommends this lun- cheon dish to budget-conscious housewives: After vegetable soup has been made from a meaty soup-bone, cut all the meat from the bone, and put it through a food chopper with an onion. Scoop the marrow from the bone, add to the meat, Add poultry seasoning, parsley, salt, pepper to taste. Moisten with soup. Cook till the be of a consistency to spread easily. {Make thin pancakes. Spread with the mixture and roll like a jelly roll. Keep warm in oven until ready to serve with the soup. Chicken scrapple is another CAC budget dish. . Ingredients (for eight servings): 3% cups chicken broth; one table- spoon all-purpose flour; one cup corn meal; one-half teaspoon salt or one teaspoon if the broth has not been salted; one-quarter tea- spoon poultry seasoning; two cups ground cooked chicken. Heat half the broth in a double boiler. 'Blend flour, corn meal, salt, and poultry seasoning. Mix with the remaining cold broth. Slowly stir the corn meal mixture into the hot broth.

In the acres of print on safety education, virtually all the em- phasis has been on the vigilance of adults to keep dangers from the tot. Almost nothing has been devoted to effective training of the toddler in avoidance by himself of known constant dangers. MORE VIGILANT We should be even. more vigi- lant and -try harder to connect pleasure in the child's mind with safe behavior. But these means are not enough, hardly half enough. The child, as soon as he begins to creep and walk, needs to learn to avoid certain specific known dangers automatically long before he can see the reason why. His native urges to approach known dangers are so strong, that he is not inclined to respond to persu- asive efforts to divert him and to cultivate an attitude of caution to- Mrs. Fred Winson, St. Louis. Therefor, he needs to connect pain in his experience with con- stant specific hazards; also with such monosyllables as NO, DON'T, or STOP. He needs to be trained so skillfully in his very early years with such pain-connection that he will automatically and constantly respect such verbal commands to save him from new hazards. PLASTIC REPLACES CANDY Hollywood (AP) -- Gregory Peck reports that jumping through win- dows in the movies is not the sweet job it used to be. Peck has such a scene in "The World in His Arms." The "break- away" windows on this set are now made of pure plastic and res- in, a creation of the special effects department. Traditionally, the windows have always been made of boiled sugar candy.

They were ectors of safety councils from various cities and safety experts for many large industries and a number of civic organizations. One deletate rose to say: "I heartily agree with you, but in the parent education courses given in our community, all the experts. and literature say that physical pain like spanking is condemned." To which I replied: "You have gone to the heart of this matter. All over this continent young par- ents are still told about the same. The girls, who will be the mothers of tomorrow, are almost univers- ally being taught m high schools and colleges that, physical pain is out as a means of. teaching safety habits to the toddler. Just watch him, divert him from dangers, at- tract him to safe places, reason and persuade him. In the mean- time, ever so many little lives are being snuffed out, and sometimes right before the helpless reasoner and persuader."
