a SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Hair-dos for the Young Fry By HELEN JAMESON Attending national conventions is an important part of every hair stylist's business. The boys and girls who tell the cash customers how they should arrange.the hir. sute foliage abaft their pates get together and make things hum. They display their art on the heads of smart.looking models, talking the while as they form undulations, rolls and ringlets. Reporters sit in at these sessions, learn a lot about the inner workings of the beauty industry. Of late years, much attention has been given to the care of the hair of little girls. The young fry, like girls of adolescent years, have pretty definite ideas about appear. ance. How they look is just about the most important, matter in their lives. The wise mother will uynder- stand this state of mind. All she has to do is to recall her own young years, how terrible it was to look different from her companions. Mothers want their children to be happy. Why not give the kids what they want in the way of cute hair arrangements and cunning clothes? The kids are usually right in: their decisions. They are up and coming these days. They know their way about. Styles for hair dressing for little girls are charming and varied. The windblown has been revived for the type, is cute as a bug's ear, easy to keep in form. Pineap- ple bangs, that offer a variation from the usual windblown, will turn little daughter into the school belle. All mama needs to do is to put the bangs up on large metal curlers at night. When combed and brushed they will carry two wave lines, with soft, flat, curly ends. If the little girl's soul yearns for curls she can get them at the beau- tytorium. Permanent wave meth. ods have become less agonizing than they were in the old days when a woman sat under a murder- ous-looking machine with her head cluttered with forty or fifty steam. ing tea kettles. The machineless and the cold wave provide comfort. 0 King Pease 1 Hair ribbons are being used again, * Pp The young customer will be thrill. ed pink. Her silky tendrils will de. light her, Hair ribbons are being used again, are smart and piquant. The bang and the bandeau, with curls swept behing the ears, from a sweet combination. Some youngsters like pigtails, especially since mama is wearing them now, wreathed about her head. All these at ons inspire a lit- tle girl to take cdre of her glorious crest. She is willing to brush her hair, as a good child should. She restrains her protests when it is time to shampoo. She develops pride in appearance, which is a good thing, should not be confused with vanity. Club Calendar Next Werk MONDAY 1st Oshawa Mother's Aux'y Ladies' Hospital Aux'y Re.Echo Lodge, L.T.B.

BUNDESEN, M.D. BACKACHE DIAGNOSIS When it comes to backache, doc- tors are on more sure ground to- day than ever before. There are so many possible causes of pain in this region that in the past phy- sicians have often had trouble in discovering the one responsible in any particular case. However, during the past few years, it has been discovered that most recurrent attacks of back- ache and, many cases of long-con- tinued backache are due to condi- tions affecting the intervertebral disks. Hence, today, when the doc- tor is confronted with a case of backache, the cause of which is not clear, he will first investigate this possibility. ~ The intervertebral disks are little rounds of cartilage which join the bones of the spine together and act as a sort of cush- ion for them. ; The most common type of pain in the lower part of the back asso- ciated with injury to these disks is lumbago. In this condition there is sudden onset of pain, with tender- ness over the muscle. The attack may last for a few hours or for several days. Not only is there pain, but some limitation of the movement of the back; particularly in forward bend- ing. As a Tule, the patient may bend sidewdse without pain. Be- tween attacks, the back may be normal. The patient often feels all right when he is lying down, but has a return of the pain on exer- cising, sitting, or standing. An X-ray examination usually will reveal the presence of the in- jured disk. The treatment may re- | quire operation, although milder cages may be relieved by rest and the wearing of a supporting belt or truss. Some cases of backache may Ye due to poor posture. However, the postural difficulty must be of a severe type before it causes severe backache. If poor posture is the cause, the pain is relieved when the patient lies down. Backache often occurs during pregnancy, and in these cases it is probably the result of postural strain. Backache following preg- nancy usually clears up. If it per- sists, it may due to injury to some of the intervertebral disks. An X-ray should be taken in order to be sure. Inflammation of the fibrous or connecting tissues of the back may be an occasional cause of back pain, but, in such instances, the condition does not persist as it does with injuries to-the disks. If a disk injury is present and the wearing of a supporting belt and the use of heat and massage do not give lasting relief, the advis- ability of operation should be con- sidered. In this operation, the disk is removed or replaced in the pro- per position. Sometimes it may be necessary to fasten some of the bones of the spine together. In a group of patients studied and op- erated on, 80 per cent were com= pletely relieved of their difficulty. Of the remainder, more than half were improved, but not cured. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS H.D.: Are kidney trouble and a weak heart the only two things that will cause the feet and ankles to swell ? Answer: In addition to the caus- es you have mentioned, swelling of the ankles may be produced by a local disturbance of the circula- tion in the feet or ankles, or pos- sibly by some inflammation of the ankle Joints, such as that due to arthritis or an injury.

Unless she takes good care of her teeth, unless she has professional attention twice a year for examin. ation, necessary repairs and the removal of tartar, she is doing her. self an injustice. Healthy, good-looking teeth are necessary from every point of view; aesthetically, for what can be enore attractive than the human smile revealing perfect teeth?; physical- ly, because the health of the body depends upon mastication which is never fully performed if teeth are impaired; cosmetically, because the beauty of the face depends upon the ensemble, not the complexion or -the, eyes alone, Small Brush One rule: Keep your tooth brush. es scrupulously clean. Buy. small ones. No tooth brush can conform precisely to the shape of the den. tal arch inside and out, but a small | | | dislodged. | | Hollywood * brush can be manipulated better than a large one. Remember, you must not only brush the outer and inner surfaces of your teeth, but the biting portions. Place the bris- tles close to the gums, sweep to the ends of the teeth, cleaning the sides as well as you can. "Don't have a hurried job. The teeth should be polished. They should shine, Oral Hygiene For thorough oral hygiene a mouth wash should .be used after the brushing to flush away parti. cles of food that the bristles have Tartar 'may form despite the ut. | most care. It consists mainly of phosphate of lime, deposited from the saliva. Mixed with this are par- ticles of food and in them bacteria will flourish, causing all manner of trouble. The dentist will remove these deposits with his instruments, That is another reason for the semi.an. nual visit to his office. Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood--(AP)-- Internation- al distances mean nothing to John Ford, Merian Cooper and their new Argosy Film Company. ; Having filmed "The Fugitive" in Mexico, the producers will return there for "Three Godfathers." They plan to make "Bora Bora" in Tahiti, the story of Bastille Day celebrations at the island. They had hoped to shoot "The Family" in Tsingtao, Manchuria, but it will probably be done in Mexico City. Background shots for "Mr. Jo- seph Young of Africa" will be made in the dark continent by an expedi- tion which is leaving soon. Ford and Cooper also plan "The Quiet Man" in Eire. Long Era finds Wallace Beery is reported to be leaving M-G-M after one more picture. That would mark the end of a 20-year stay at the Culver City lot, where he made such mem- orable films as "Min and Bill," "Tugboat Annie,' "The Champ" and "Viva Villa!" Wally has been unhappy with the kind of pictures he has been getting in recent years and it's said he'll return to his old stamping grounds, Paramount. Abbott and Costella will barn- storm the country in April for a dual purpose--to publicize their independent film, "The Noose Hangs high," and to raise money for their youth foundation in East- side, La. They'll start the tour after they finish "A and C Meet Frankenstein." 10-Second Review "The Mating of Millie" (Col.) is a good comedy. fashioned from the familiar situation of a girl who wants to get married. Evelyn Keyes is excellent as the marrying gal (who wants a hitching so she can adopt an orphan) and the elig- ibles are Glenn Ford, Willard Parker and Ron Randall. Of course, she picks Ford, after many good laughs. d LADIES: READ THIS! Unwanted hair removed instantly from face, arms, legs with Flash Halr Re- mover.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN 'Dear Mrs. Beeckman: After graduating from college last June I accepted a position here in this medium-sized town and am living in a boarding house. A charming woman whom I met through "my church connections gave a dinner party last week; I accepted her invitation, and had a delightful time. Now I am puzzled about how I can return her hospi- tality, for I couldn't possibly af. ford to give a dinner at the one ho- tel here, nor can I think of any. | thing else commensurate with her kind hospitality. Have you any suggestions? Helena S. It is never necessary to return hospitality in kind and of course your gracious hostess un. derstands your circumstance and undoubtedly does not expect any return of her haspitality, certainly not being invited to a dinner party. However, I'm sure you feel as I would, that to make no hospital. ity-gesture might appear to mean not only lack of appreciation on your part, but also possibly a sug- gestion that you &on't wish to con- tinue the social relationship. So I suggest that ybou ask your hostess to have tea with you at an attrac. tive tearoom you may know about, or when an especially interesting movie comes alosg, invite her to go with you to this with, perhaps, tea afterward. If these invitations aren't possible, send her a care. fully.chosen book or a box of flow- ers. Should 'Bride's Mother's Fiance Give Bride In Marriage? Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My mother is to be married sev- eral months after I am married, to a man to whsm my only sister (who is to be 'my maid of honor) and I have 'become quite devoted. He would like to give me in mar. riage and my mother would like to have him do this. But my rela. tives, especially my father's rela. tives (my father is dead) are strongly objecting to this. How- ever, since I have no brother and am not particularly interested in having any of my uncles or cou. sins give me away, do you think it would be all right for me to. have my mother's fiance do this? Claire B. I believe that your doing this might be full of dynamite as far as your future welfare with your relatives is conecrned ... and so I advise against it. My. suggestion is that you walk up the aisle alone, and have your mother give you in marriage. (She can do this by rising in her place in the first pew and saying "I do" to the minister's question as to who gives the bride in marriage; or she may nierely bow her assent.) When To Say "Thank You" To The Waitress Dear Mrs, Beeckman: When you are dining in a pri. vate house and you help yourself from a serving.disthh which the waitress is passing to you, should you say "Thank you" to her? Ces taste Cannel le ..Florence G. No, this is not necessary. But if, for example, you are refusing a second helping, you should say, "No, thank you."

Ours is a day when our communities are becoming in- creasingly recreation-conscious. This is a very gratifying development in view of the larger amount of leisure time available to most of our people. It well to remember that reading fis, and will alWays be, a most important and most rewarding form of recreation. Our library is in a position to minister to the widest variety of needs and tastes. There is full provision for reading for entertainment. A steady stream of fiction comes to our shelves. The serious reader will find in- formation available in our comprehensive collec- tion of non-fiction. The children's library offers a rich and attractive supply of reading material for the young of various ages, and the special requirements of the students are adequately met. We are sure that the reading public is well served by the library staff, whose professional efficiency and courtesy are appreciated both by the Board and by the Citizens. The Board is grateful for the continued inter- est of the citizens, and for the active co-operation of the City Council, The civic grant has risen from 57¢ per capita two years ago to 70c at the present time, a gratifying acknowledgment of the important work the library is doing. The cost of operation has increased here as elsewhere, but the functions of the library have been expanded as well. The new department of record circulation is meeting with approval, and the circulation of films in cooperation with the Oshawa Film Coun- cil, is rapidly increasing, The new branch library at Simcoe Hall is in daily operation. Plans are being considered for expansion of the library facilities. Property has been acquired immediately adjoining the present building, and as soon as conditions warrant, it is hoped to pro- vide accommodation for the reading public, which will be adequate for the requirements of the come munity, ; Excerpis From LIBRARIAN'S REPORT The increase of Legislative grants from the Province in 1947 has given an added incentive for future planning to the libraries of Ontario, Le- gislative grants are based partially on the money received from the City Council. The increase given by our City Council has enabled us to give a wider service to more people and to improve our library building with fluorescent lighting and oil heating. In January, with the co-operation of the Wom- en's Welfare League we organized a Branch Lib- rary at Simcoe Hall to be run under the same conditions as the Toronto Settlement House Lib- rarles, With an enthusiastic trained Librarian in charge the work has gone along smoothly and at the end of our first year we are ready to expand. An adult section has been added. We hope that this small library will develop into a worthwhile Branch. A new library or at least an addition to the present building came nearer to being a reality when in May the Library Board decided to proceed with the purchase of the Hoig Estate adjoining the present library building. The Board and Staff have been busy making plans for a new building : and are vitally interested in this project. For some time we had been discussing the ad- dition of a record collection to be circulated for a small charge as an extra educational facility in the library. The Oshawa Music Teachers' Associa- tion gave us a valuable start with a splendid gift of records, We have also been lucky, in receiving several fine gifts from individual citizens and hope to build up an excellent collection. Many borrowers have expressed keen appreciation of this service. In November we offered to take over the hous- ing of the films and projector belonging to the Oshawa Film Council and to look after their bookings. In this way we have established friendly relations with men and women belonging to many organizations in Oshawa, Members of the Staff have learned to run the machine and help in this work. Adult circulation for 1947 shows an increase of 1,654 over 1946. More books on Biography, Handicrafts and Art were read but less on Travel, History and Phil y. Fiction sh d a d increase. 1631 new adult books were purchased during the year. Although our space is inadequate we encouraged the use of the library for displays. In consequence, the building has been much brighter and more attractive. The Children's Department has been a busy spot during the year. More non-fiction was cir- culated but fiction sh d a decided d 855 new books were added to the collection, 48 classes visited the library from the schools during the year. All classes were given book talks to introduce worthwhile books. Some -instruction in the are rangement of books on the shelves was given to the grade 7 classes, It is interesting to note that of the 670 new borrowers registered in the Boys' and Girls' Dee partments 7.2 percent were under 6 years of age. We hope that more parents will realize that their little children are welcome in the library and that we have books which they may borrow. Story hours were held every Saturday morning. For three months these stories were broadcast over CKDO. The use of films and records also brought a variety of interests to the younger generation. 1947 has been an exciting year but we have much to accomplish in 1948 and trust that new facilities may then become not only a hope but a reality.
