WOMEN V.0.N. WEEK * Immigrant Pandly Thanks VON For Mother's Return to Health A young mother living in a small community is making a quick re- covery from a serious stroke largely because of the help of a 'Victorian Order nurse. * The woman suffered the stroke a few months after she, her hus- band and three children arrived as immigrants in Canada. The stroke was so serious that it left one sidé of her body completely paralyzed. After she had been admitted to hospital, there seemed to be little hope that she would recover.' Both the familys and the woman were {esponqent. especially since they few friends in Canada to com- fort them. * CALL FOR HELP Despite the fear that she would not live, the family decided she should return home from the hos- pital. The husband and the teen- aged children, however, found it impossible to care for her prop- eH and asked the Victorian Order of Nurses for help. A VON nurse began making daily visits to the home. She sup- ervised required treatments and encouraged the woman and the family to take an optimistic atti tude toward recovery. As a result of her influence, the family and the patient began to adopt a happier outlook. The nurse | 8 laid great stress on the value of | keeping the patient quiet and per- suading her not to worry. Through the treatments, the woman gradu re-acquired the use of her paralyzed limbs and was soon out of bed, although con- fined to a chair. Some three months after the VON nurse first called at the home, the woman had recovered sufficiently to again look after her household duties. The family now is full of hope for the future, and there is a rea- sonably good prospect that the Roman wilk f recover from her ness. CHILD GUIDANCE Training of the Is Outlined by By G.

To re duce, it is necessary to cut calories from one-half to one-third bslow your requirements. For example, only one h starch food is in- cluded in a low calorie meal. You have a choice between bread and cereal for breakfast, and between bread, corn, rice or potato for din- ner. To curb calories, fats are cut sharply, and rich desserts are Now, in maintaining weight at status quo, the choice can be wider. You might choose a small baked potato with a half pat of butter, and then either a slice of bread or a modest dessert. It would pot be in the interest of weight control for you to return to two pats of butter, potatoes, bread and dessert. On those food habits, the lost pounds would soon sneak back on . . . and perhps more in the Darga SMALLER MEALS SUFFICE You have two things in your favor now--a healthy hold on these new food habits and a smaller appetite. You actually do not want so much food. You feel content with smaller meals.

The trick is to make up your mind that you want fo Neep your appetite under con ro! Here is a rule that never fails: Never eat until you feel you have a stomach.

My doctor tells me I am due to have another child in about six months; and I have made myself sick, wondering how I am going to break this news to mother. other didn't want me to marry Henry. You see, he was married before, and has a teen-age child. He is a good father and a devoted husband to me; and I have been very happy since I married him. We get along very well together. We have a nice house, and he is he sort of man who loves his home and family. I don't want to hurt my mother; but when she learns I am expect ing another child, she won't like it. She will react as she did when she knew that our second. child was expected. Do you think my mother should be telling me what 0 do--and what not to do? Please try to help me clarify my Perspective.

Gone are the days when one staggered into the yard once a week with a basket full of heavy pieces which were skewered to the clothesline with rough, shaggy. wooden clothespins that snagged or bit into that was DO Now it's fun to launder, easy to care for one's personal items, and a cinch to do the job in small batches. Clothes and fabrics are sheerer, more delicate and easier to suds. Consequently the little indoor laundry is popular. Sometimes the bathroom seems the handiest place for the job. But there's no need to have dangling clothes bothering the family and spoiling the look of the room. There are so many new clothespins, variants on the suec- tion cup clothesline and extra towel bars that you won't have any trouble "string a line' indoors. The smooth surface of polished plastic makes an ideal line -fast- ener for sheer fragile fabrics. There's a novel twist to this, a clamp clothespin attached to a plastic hanger hook. These ean be tucked over a line or over the shower rod. For hanging baby's '| clothes or other tiny items, try a slim plastic pin that looks like an oversize bobby pin and that grips just as firmly. Thesé clothespi proof. There are neat little clothespins of wood, too, but vastly different they are from the old, heavy, wood ones. The new version es use of wood so highly rubbed that its texture is almost silken, No matter how sleek and modern the new clothespins may be, they must be kept as clean as the wash they peg down. Plastic ones should be dunked into lukewarm suds. But don't wash them in terrk fically hot water or they may warp. Swish the wooden v. in suds, rinse them well, wipe the clamps and lay them out on a piece of clean wrapping paper to dry, in the sun if possible. It's pleasant to make your clothesline cheery. Clean clothes are wonderful to gaze upon and they give you a comfo sense of accomplishment. So Ww not make your line not only modern but twice as attractive with pret- ty, colorful pins and clamps? All the new varieties are light, easy to store and snagproof, and it's worthwhile investing in a whole new batch to tie in with the mod- ern conception of laundering. ; BEAUTIFUL BROADLOOM RUGS Your old rugs, carpets and discard- 4d clothing rawoven info & beaut colors end patterns.
