TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1948 THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN | BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Keep Fit For Beauty's Sake By BEXLEN JAMESON ing the war many married en who had never worked out- side their homes before took jobs. Because of the high cost of living thousands of these women are still faring forth to bring home the week- ly pay check. The majority of them have their homes to take care of too. The wage-earning wife js bound to be overworked. Of all the sisters she must plan a well-organized life, find some sort of health-giving recrea- tion and, above everything else, keep her head, When she begins to feel sorry for herself, she can be sure that what good-looks she was . born with are likely to be on the skids, While overwork can break the spirit and strain the nervous sys- tem, it is astonishing how much work a well-cared-for body, and a normal mind backed with a feeling of courage, can carry through. It all depends upon whether or not you can take it. A certain amount of la- bor brings a certain amount of fa- tigue, If one recovers energy after a night's sleep, one is pretty safe. If :_ one gets up feeling like a wreck, "hates the thought of the activities of the coming day, it is time to pause and take counsel with your- self, It is cumulative fatigue that gets one down. The great need is to know the laws of health, never break them. Good eating habits are impera- tive. While women eat a greater var iety of food than men--more fruits and vegetables--they seldom eat as much as they need when they are working hard, Fatigue alone is likely . to destroy appetite. Also, by the time a woman buys foods, prepares it, cooks it and serves it, she is likely to lose interest in it; The greatest treat to the average housewife is - what is called "eating out," espe. cially if the food that is served to her is well-cooked, daintily served. She is entitled to this treat now and then--once a week, anyway, I - would say. y Next to keeping fit physically is the need of cultivating the right mental attitude toward one's work, one's life and one's problems. Un- ded ae a you get up feeling like a wreck, it is time to take counsel with yourself. ok less you have a healthy outlook you cannot expect to have' a healthy body, because mental disturbances slow up digestion, send the nervous system haywire. One must learn that life offers the good and the bad. One never knows just what is going to be handed out to one. The wise woman will, when things go wrong, enumerate her blessings. Everyone has blessings, in one form or another, It is a gifand satisfac- tion to come through an unpleasant crisis with flying banners, When trouble comes, say to yourself over and over again, "The tide will turn." Hop is a wonderful friends, a great support. One might better be hope- ful than to cherish fears, many of which never materialize. 14 U.S. Women Favor @: Aid for Schools Women across the «United States _ are overwhelmingly in favor of Federal aid to public schools, it was revealed in a poll taken recently by the Woman's Home Companion. A resounding "yes" in favor of Federal aid came from 89 per cent of the 2,000 women queried. In other words nine of every: ten. women from all sections of the country, and from every walk of life want their Jocal schools to receive help from the national government. , There was almost complete unanimity of opinion from women from the north as well as from the south, and the reaction was the «same in cities as well as villages. The one discordant note came from women over 45 years of age. Only 81 per cent of this group was in favor of federal aid. A consensus seemed to be ex- pressed by one woman from Cali- fornia, who said: "We are a United States, aren't we? Children in all states should have equal educa- tional opportunities." Nevertheless as strongly in favor - of federal aid to education as most American women are, their feel- ings about the method of control differs greatly. Out of the mumber who voted yes 48 per cent thought the Fed- eral government should specify the purpose of the money with state of local boards administering it. An almost equal number--42 per cent-- thought the funds should be con- trolled completely by the state. An interesting side issue raised by te: Woman's Home Companion readers was the problem of stand- ardization in the schools. "The third grade should be the same everywhere," says ®he moth- er of two children who has moved frequently during recent years: On the other hand there was an~ other mother who urged that the United States be careful about 5 ardization in the schools. To the government to select ks, for example, she thinks would seriously endanger the Am- erican democratic way of life.

Parents should take care, however, that when punishment is meted out to a child it is serving a constructive purpose. The only purpose in using any form of punishment is to influence the child to do the right things. It should not be undertaken because an adult has lost his, or her, temper.

RUNDESEN, M.D. PENICILLIN OINTMENT Even such a drug as penicillin, usually so safe under medical ad- ministration, and sure in its action against germs, has its limitations and drawbacks. 'We would naturally expect salves containing penicillin to be of great value in the treatment of skin dis- orders, because in this way a high concentration of the drug can be applied directly fo the site of the infection, Penicillin Ointment In practice, however, we have found that penicillin ointment is not always so useful as we had hoped. In the first place, certain strains of germs which cause skin infections are resistant to penicillin. Even where they are not, the pa- tient may develop an oversensitivity to the penicillin itself which makes the prolonged treatment needed im- possible. On thé other hand, penicillin ointment has been most valuable in curing certain skin diseases where the infection is confined to the outer-most layers of the skin. One of these is known as impe- tigo, an infection which produces blisters that break open and form crusts. In one series of cases, 58 out of 60 patients were cured in seven days by the use of penicillin oint- ment. In the two instances in which a cure was not produced, the oint- ment was improperly applied or not used long enough, Even here, -how- ever, the patient may become hy- persensitive to the ointment and its use must be stopped. One ordinary stubborn skin con- dition is an infection of the roots of the hair or of the beard, known as sycosis vurgaris. Of 15 patients treated with penicillin ointment, eight were reported cured. Another skin condition known as ecthyma produces deep-seated sores. This disorder may develop follow- ing impetigo. Boils or furuncles do not respond to the local use of pen- icillin ointment. When a person has a number of boils, the injection of penicillin into a muscle seems to give a great deal of benefit. Another Skin Disease Another skin disease treated is one known as infectious eczematoid dermatitis, This is an inflamma- tion of the skin due to the infec- tion, together with some allergy. Of 10 patients treated, five were cured in about 30 days' time. Penicillin ointment has also been used in secondary infections fol- lowing certain skin conditions, such as seborrhea, dermatitis, ringworm, and acne. Improvement may be produced in such cases in a few instances. It would seem, therefore, that the penicilliy ointment is effective in curing Mipetigo, thus preventing lesions of ecthyma from develop- ing. It is of no value in deeper in- fections which do respond to the injection of penicillin. It is sug- gested that the penicillin ointment be discontinued after seven days if there is no improvement. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A Reader: What would cause nausea, and soreness in the lower bowel one hour after eating? Could this be dangerous? - Answer: 'A thorough study by a physician is needed to find the cause for the trouble. It is probably not-a dangerous disorder; however, you might be. suffering from a bowel infection, ulcer of the stom- ach or gall-bladder disease. Until the cause is found, proper treatment could not be advised. Dress up a salad tray with thin half-slices of salami or dried beef shaped into cornucopias, fasténing each with a toothpick.

The truth is, of course, that it is pos- sible to get both comfort and style. But foot health should be the first thought. With sore feet the body is thrown out of balance, frowns fur- row the area between the eyes, the disposition is likely to curdle. If the last is right for you, the shoe will be satisfactory whether it be high or low, open or closed, sandal, moccasin, pump, ghillie, spectator or oxford, See what a wide choice of styles you have these days! You must be sure that the shoe is made of high grade mater- ials, that it has a flexible leather sole that adjusts itself to move- ments. Poorly made shoes are a poor investment. They lose shape in no time, fail to give proper sup- port to the waist of the foot. The shell shoe continues to be LJ FOLLETT 57 , is this wedge sandal with long open toe. * popular. It is closed all around, offering . the firmest possible sup- port, but somehow leaving the foot as free as a bird on the wing. The upper part barely rims the foot. The shell is held together strongly and Solitoriaiile by a flexible leather sole. In shoes for autumn the applica- tion of the slender line reflects the fashions in clothes. A lithe effect is achieved by tapered toes, less clutter details, longer vamps and seamless construction. All this is feminine, but not frilly. It is a mis- take to wear shoes that are too striking, too conspicuous, The wom- an who does that calls attention to her trotters instead of her face and her figure. Teen agers are tired of the slouchy shoes that they have been wearing for a number of years. They are considering leather casings that will keep their feet in form. Offer- ings for youth show plenty of color, -| imagination, fine lines, good work- manship. CLOSE UP OF Torquay and Dartmouth By ELIZABETH RICHMOND 4 Once Torquay in South-West England was a peaceful little fish- ing village. Then, with the coming of modern transport, its great na- tural charms were discovered by Britain's public. Today it is an ex- panding town with many fine hotels and places of amusement. It is still growing rapidly, but modern buildings never destroy its great beauty. : Looking at Torquay as you ap- proach its snug bay from the sea you note, rising behind the quay, a cluster of colourful buildings on terraces which have the warm tints seen in pictures by the English. ar- tist, Frank Brangwyn. Terrasgotta hued cliffs wind round the 'sable sands and sometimes the sea looks ultramarine blue, sometimes a translucent green. Torquay has a mild climate and its pleasure-grounds show plants that are seldom seen growing in the open air in Britain. Japanese bamboos, Australian gum trees, mi- mosa and Barbary almonds flourish in the Abbey gardens which reach down the seashore. The Abbey gardens are so called because they enclose the ruins of Torre Abbey founded by William Brewer in 1196. There is not much of the old Abbey to be seen now- adays, but a gateway remains to re- mind you of its former splendours. Nearby there is a wonderful old barn known as "The Spanish Barn", because in the 16th century after the naval battle which de- feated the Spanish Armada, the crew_of a Spanish galleon was im- prisoned" there. Many of Torquay's visitors walk across the downs to Babbocombe and rest ateAnstey's Cove which is a small bay. Behind this Cove is Kent's Cavern, one of the most noted places of its kind in southern England. Excavation in modern times has revealed that the floor which was covered by the deposit of centuries, contained bones of ex- tinct animals such as the cave bear. Some 'of these relics are to be seen in the Torquay Museum of Natural Seience. Torquay is a centre for many charming. excursions. A favourite one is to Dartmouth, situated at the mouth of the river Dart. On its waters, enclosed by green high banks, many ships of Britain's Royal Navy rest and the modern buildings of the Royal Naval Col- lege, where naval officers are train- ed, are situated on a hill, a con- trast to the picturesque houses which huddle on the sloping streets extending to the quay. Some of these houses are very old and near the quay there is a row of de- lightful 17th century houses Sale, the Butter Walk. The upper stori showing richly carved fronts, pro- ject over the lower ones and are supported by pillars. The meandering walk from Dart- mouth to the sea takes you to Dartmouth 'Castle. Little now re- mains of this and if you look across to the opposite bank of the Dart you will see the remains of another castle at Kingswear. In bygone times they were know as the "Guardians of the river". Teacher Shortage Manitoba Problem Winnipeg-- (CP)--Qualified teach- ers are at a premium in Manitoba. The provincial department of edu- cation has issued permits to about 500 persons with Grade XI and XII standing who attended a six weeks' training court this summer, ¥ In the last schoo] year 163 per cent of all teachers in the province held special permits. Of the 875 students who taught under permit in 1946-47, 562 took the short train- ing course. Permit teaching in recent years goes back to 1940. After only one year of war the profession was suf- ficiently affected to necessitate em- ploying of 21 permits teachers. In the next school year the number was increased to 129, and it has ri- sen since. Permits are good for only one year in the specific school they mention» Should a student wish to break his professional training with periods of teaching he is required to do one year's academic work before taking another teaching aséignment; By 1946-47, the number of teach- ers trained at normal school and by the faculty of education was said to be adequate to meet average yearly replacements, Authorities also felt some progress was being Are you going' through the functional 'middle age liar to wom (38 to 52 yrs.)?

Steady Increase There has been a steady increase in enrolment at both teachers' train- ing centres. ke other professions which rely on a large number. of young women, teaching is seriously affected by the marriage rate. The average career of a teacher is 10 years. There is an estimated loss of 30 per ceht in the first year. Within the first three years the loss climbs to 50 per cent. Annual minimum salary for teach- ers with a Grade XII education and one year's normal training was rais. ed this year from $1,000 to $1,200. University graduates - with .one year's professiona] training receive an average starting of $2,000. Among teachers' organizations, fi- nancial complaints now are largely directed at the lack of over-all sal: ary schedules. There is agitation for regular annual increments bas- ed on professional training and ex- perience. Lack of security of tenure is an- other grievance. Fear of isolation deters university students from en. tering the profession; many rural teachers are in accord with this feeling, /'/ Kept Budget Secrets For Quarter-Century Capetown--(CP)-- A woman who knows, how to keep a secret--she's kept budget secrets for 25 years-- has been presented with an inscrib- ed silver tray by the South African treasury. The recipient is Miss Elizabeth Hay Anderson, confidential typist to the treasury, who has typed the annual budgets of South Africa's {inance ministers since 1924 and shared their secrets with: only two others, the minister and the secre- tary of finance.

School Survey Shows Lax Health Facilities Too often, in schools which em- phasize health instruction, health practices do not keep pace with the lessons. Pupils cannot be ex- pected to build and practise the health habits which are taught when conditions are the opposite of the teaching. In some provinces as high as 12 per cent of the secondary schools do not provide even a hand basin for washing; in six provinces at least 20 per cent have no soap and paper towels; only 285 per cent Mave the water supply tested peri- odically; only 43 per cent of sec- ondary school classrooms have ar- tificial lighting giving the minimum required intensity; the proportion of one-room schools with inade- quate natural lighting ranges up to 43.5 per cent; and in most prov- these schools have no artificial il- lumination of any kind; in one province all one-room schools have only outdoor toilet facilities and over all provinces the proportion is 71.4 per cent; in many schools drinking water is in an open pail, with a dipper for drinking, and slops go back into the pail. In one province 100 per cent of the schools have first aid kits, but only 15 per cent of them test their drinking water supply annually. These and hundreds of other facts regardin the environment in schools given in, the National Committee report, published in Canadian Education, Volume II, Number 2, 1047, and Volume III, Number 2, 1948. There is, on this evidence, more room for improve- ment than most people thought possible in an enlightened age, and "the Commitee makes constructive suggestions arising out of its find- ings.

If the prospective bridegroom, 'who was graduated from one pf our service academies last Spring, cannot get the classmates he wants for .ushes, would it be in- correct to have ' the ones he can get (they to wear their dress uni- forms) and then have some civil- ian ushers? The bride-to-be feels that the ushers should be either all military men or all civilians. But his class mates are now scat- tered on duty in various parts of the country, and all of those he wishes may not be able to get leave. If some can accept, he would like. to "fill in" with clvil- ian relatives and friends. His, bro- ther, for example, whom he would like to have as his best man, is a civilian; and therefore, of course, would be wearing civilian clothes. 2. Other wedding-attire ques- tions. ta) If the wedding is at 4 P.M., with the "reception at a Country Club, will it be proper for the bridegroom's mother to wear a long dress (with sleeves) even if the bride's mother wears a street- length dress? (b) If the wedding is in the evening, would it be correct for men relatives (groom's father, uncles of the bride and groom, and so forth) to wear dinner jackels rather than "tails?" (c) Would it be correct for boys, ages 9 to 13, to wear casual suits to an afternoon wedding; for example, tweed jac- kets and flannel pants, or-even corduroy jackets? 1. It would indeed be too baa if the bridegroom couldn't have his brother, a civilian, as best man, and the relatives and close friends he wishes to have as his ushers. And it would be correct now, as it was quite customary in the war, to have as his attendants mixture of military men and civilians, The military ushers should walk first 'in the procession, two by two, tae civilian ushers following, two by two. And if the military ushers wear .dress uniforms, the civilian ushers should wear formal attire, 2. (a) No, the bride's mother, who is the hostess, prescribes the type of dress she and the bride- groom's mother are to wear . . .
