Committee Chairman By HARVEY HUDSON Paris (AP) -- When delegates to the United Nations social commit- tee get bored with the debate, they have a beautiful alternative. Instead of listening, they can , Just gaze at their presiding officer. Their president is Mrs. Ana Figu- eroa of Chile, first woman to head 8 U.N. committee. The U.N. takes itself much too seriously*to sponsor a beauty contest for delegates, but Mrs. Figueroa could probably it on the first vote--without a sian veto.

"In my personal feelings, I'm very much anti-Communist," she explains. "But as president of a committee in an international or- E. , I must be completely |$54 impartial. I try very hard to do that." Mrs. Figueroa's career could be a model for that of a self-made woman anywhere. Her father was a real estate dealer and she recalls that business was good and bad, by intervals. When Ana was 18 she was teach- ing English and philosophy to help support the family that included a younger brother 'and sister. "Really I started to work be- cause I liked pretty hats and nice dresses," she says modestly. 'But I did help to support the family 100." The love for clothes and jewelry has never deserted her. For her appearances in the U.N she usually chooses trim dark suits, smartly cut and obviously expensively made. Her jewelry tends toward simplicity. After being national superintend- ent of high schools, she moved into feminist movements which helped push through legislative reforms giving women more civil, economic and social equality. It was an easy step into the international field and she now holds the rank of envoy extraordinary and minister pleni- potentiary. Says Nervous Women Need More Sympathy Than Medicine Los Angeles (AP) -- The ner- yous woman of today is "a scared and lonely individual" who needs sympathy more than medical treat- ment, says a California diagnosti- cian, She is a product of the machine age and is frustrated and confused by its speed, competition and complexity, Dr. Earl O. G. Schmitt of San Jose, Calif., told the Amer- ican Medical Association. There are five kinds of nervous women, Dr. Schmitt said: Those 65 and over; women in the meno- pause; the young matron; the re- cently - married woman whose hus- band may be in the service, and the 'missed - by - marriage women." A surprisingly large number of these women are "unhappy and worried about matters of sex," Dr. Schmitt said. This situation voice even when she has lin explains | si Choice Fur Fabrics Lend Elegant Air At Surprising Price By MURIEL NARRAWAY Canadian Press Staff Writer London (CP) -- Five new mater- ials with definite party appeal are popular festive choice with Lon- oh don's Christmas shoppers. They are ermaleen, minkaleen, oceleen, pershnelle and beaverleen -- new fur-fabric materials that look so good they are walking ad- vertisements for the skins from in which they take their name. It would be impossible, except at close quarters, to tell whether a toque beret, cravat and muff of white ermaleen, worn with a slim black suit, was not the real thing. Yet this threesome cost only $60. can be cought separately, and has an ndeniable Mayfair look. No garment made from these fabrics costs more than $75, and the appearance is striking and glamorous. A lovely contrast to black cocktail and evening gowns is the tuxedo jacket of white er- maleen with wide, tight-cuffed bell sleeves and swagger styling. Its close resemblance to ermine is heightened by a fringing of black- tipped .tails to the scarf-tie neck- e. A tail-fringed minkaleen stole styled to resemble silverblue mink will add glamor to that slinky, new cocktail dress with bare neckline --at the moderate cost of $33. And a white ermaleen stole would go well with a black velvet cocktail t. A pretty off-set for some of the new royal purples and honey golds is an elegant black, sling- sleeved cape of pershnelle -- look- ing for all the world like black Persian lamb and costing only Useful for afternoon and evening wear are the waisted, slingsleeved boleros of silverble minkaleen, eqally effective with wool sits and dresses and sequined, erino- lined gvening gowns. Fo! ose who like the piquant French look, an oceleen waist coat muff and beret gan be com- 'bined with tight-skirted suit having lapel and pocket braiding. Although fur imitations have been tried many times, the worst offenders being ocelot and leopard fabrics, the latest weaves are the best of their kind yet to hit the market. Finest example is the black pershnelle, and white erma- leen runs an easy second. The materials are especially use- ful for linings of travel coats and rainproofs. They mean warmth without excessive price. HOUS™™™ ~ HINT To clean a «eather Hand- bag, smooth a thic.. lather of pure white soap or saddle soap on the bag.

Gifted Violinist Showed Talent At 3 Years of Age = 4 Toronto (CP) -- Betty - Jean Hagen has budge - brown hair with matching eyes. And she can't remember when music wasn't "a part of my life." At 21 this tall -- she's five feet 7% .inches -- Edmonton - born violinist has behind her more successful concerts than many a musician twice her age. Now she is starting a two - month tour of Europe. This isn't her first visit over- seas. In London.and Paris she 1s due to play in halls where she has appeared before. Paris she particularly remembers because it was there last June that she won the coveted Pathe Marconi prize for 1951. She was the first Cana- dian to do so. # "The entrants came from all over the world and there were 15 or so judges," she said in a recent interview. 'Competition was very keen and French audiences are quick to show whether or not they like the performer." - How does a musician get started? At 3, Betty - Jean was hiding behind the swing - doors in the family living - room imitating her older brother as he practcedi his singing. " I-coulnd't speak very well but I got the rhythm," she recalled. CONCENTRATED A couple of years later she was winning prizes at Alberta music festivals -- for her singing. But by the time she was 10 she began to. find studies which included piano and violin lessons a little too strenuous. She gave up the piano and turned her attention to the violin. Betty - Jean has all kinds of regrets -- for the things she would like to do but hasn't been able to find the time. She likes dancing and confesses she was never interested in jazz music until she learned to "under- stand" it in modern dancing. She likes to paint but there has only been time for that when ill- ness has prevented her from playing. "When I used to be laid up with chicken - pox or something as horrible I would get out my brush and paints and go to it," she said. "I was in my heyday." Riding is a favorite sport and she's looking forward to some .of that perhaps next summer, engagement - book permitting. Cooking and sewing? She hasn't had much time for the former but has found it "lots of fun' when she has tried it. She prefers to leave any sewing to her mother although she likes designing clothes. As for marriage, that will have to wait. "Oh, yes, I have thought of it." she admits. "But there's still lots of time and I am still very n~ --and there is so much to do."

I am past 50 and my husband Tom is older. After 29 years of marriage, that was happy as the average, I believe, he has left me for another woman. Not to marry her, as she is married -- but it was either her or me. I don't think anyone knows of their secret meetings, except me; and when I recently heard of it and questioned Tom he didn't deny anything. He left soon after, ahd took a position in another town. Now I am alone except for a grand- child who stays here and goes to school; and I am heartbroken. The other woman is older than Tom and has a good husband, so it appears. They reared a fine family, and we have grown child- ren, too -- children to be proud of -- and wonderful grandchildren. They don't know of this trouble. I cannot confide in anyone, because of the disgrace it would bring to Weekly Sew Thrifty MAKE IT from a feed-bag!

Tom allows nie barely enough to live on; and as I've never done anything but keep house, I don't know how to help myself. But lone- liness and heartache are the big- gest problem. The days are so long and dreary and night almost un- bearable. I think at times I am going crazy. I believe if I could get away from here, and take up a job of any kind, I might carry on without breaking down. At pres- ent, prayer is all that keeps me going in a normal sane way. Please answer soon. NEDS TO CHANGE Dear P. L.: Since you find your- self utterly desolate, after a long experience in wifehood and mother- hood, it is well to examine your- self for the cause. By and large, one's life - situation in late middle age is the inevitable harvest of one's habitual thinking and social attitudes. As a starting point in routing heartache, you mus change your feelings about self 'and sur- roundings; -- or, as St. Paul said, "be transformed by the renewing of your mind." The dolorous tenor of your re- cital shows why Tom felt driven from home -- in search of more life. I don't say he was justified in bolting; but obviously he felt driven out -- as a man might quit a stagnant atmosphere in gasping hunger for invigorating air. What spurred his departure? Your in- grown routine and characteristic pessimism, which he found insup- potable with the children gone, I daresay. He was desperately re- jecting this depressive influence, in taking to his heels, I gather; and maybe he'd felt the urge for years, waiting the opportune time to leave. Your negative termperament is disclosed in these hints: 1. Your sorrowing reference to yourself as 'an old woman?' -- when = you are merely fiftyish, a robust age in this era of increasing longevity. 2. The fact that you are seriously iso- lated since Tom left -- Without a confidante, and with nobody (not even the children) aware of your deserted status. How friendless, how withdrawn, can a person get? Very likely you failed to work at human relations, while you had Tom to lean on. INGROWN BIAS It isn't wholesome to make deep | dark secret of your plight. Talking | things over with a trustworthy per- son would do much to ease sus-| pense and assuage loneliness. It is egoistic to think you must keep mum to spare the family shame and disgrace. The public doesn't attach that much importance to other folks' domestic troubles. Fur- 16 or medimu 18, 20. You can see | | thermore, you're not quite honest | about your reasons for silence. Ac- | tually you are trying to save your | pride. You hurled an ultimatum at | Tom, and he struck by leaving you | -- a defect you hate to admit. But | why not admit it? "Honest confes- | sion is good for the soul," --and | {humility is a disarming trait. | You need to work outside the | | home, to get in touch with human- | ity and get your mind off self.

Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood (AP) -- The Oscar season is rolling around again, so it's time for a chat with Walter Brennan, the only actor who has won three of them. Brennan won three of the first five Academy Awards presented for a supporting actor (the prac- tice was started in 1936). I asked him what effect they had on his career. "None that I could see, he replied. "I was under contract to Sam Goldwyn at the time and I didn't even receive congratulations from him. Later, someone asked him about it, and he 'said he'd do something about it. So the next time he saw me, he said, 'Say Walter -- I'm glad you won that prize.' "' But Brennan has 'managed to keep working regularly ever since receiving his Oscars. He now limits himself to two or three pictures a year. . There's nothing pretentious about Brennan. He has no star- ring ambitions -- and claimed he never has. CAPSULE REVIEW "Decision Before Dawn" is movie - making at its best. No other medium could capture the sweep of Germany in the last days of the war. By using the real German cities and people, this film has created a stirring and realistic picture of a dying nation. The story concerns the infiltration of German lines by agents seeking military information for the Allied forces. Two of the agents are former German soldiers and one is a United States officer. Their story makes a constantly exciting chase. Richard Basehart and Gary Merrill. the only Hollywood actors in the cast, are fine. The German cast is excellent, particularly Oskar Werner, whose sensitive face evokes rare sympathy.

CHILD GUIDANCE:- The Long School Vacation By GARRY OLEVELAND MYERS, PhD. Before this month has ended, many a mother will wish there were no long vacations: If there are several young school children and if the mother should not permit them outdoors much during the week, it may be trying to everybody, mother; still more so if neighbor children often drop in to have fun with her children. With some planning, mother might make it easier and happier for herself and the entire family. A few suggestions follow. GENERAL PROGRAM the wise | gether, there could be some standing about desirable rules and regulations in the use or television during the w of the nature of fun when mates come, in order confusions especially the| on Sit down today with the children | read at old enough to participate, and talk | ep over with them a general program for the week. If you have had simi- lar periods of talking over things together, the undertaking will be relatively easy. Go over with them the regular things which have to be done daily. Try to lead them to feel ready to share in these duties. If they do, aim to work out for the week, or for a number of days, a program by which each of these older child- ren will assume responsibility for 'certain regular jobs. In cases where there are not sufficient vol- unteers for certain jobs, assign them, alternating them when prac- tical, so no one has all or part of the most disliked jobs constantly. FREE TO PLAY Lead in the program making so that, usually, the bulk of the choes will be done right after breakfast each day: before the children are free to play. In the plan, include also the needed help for getting lunch and dinner and tidying up afterwards. The older children might want to take turns at plan- ning and preparing some family meals.
