MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE - SEVEN | REALITY FOR YOU High-Lighting Drab Hair By BELEN JAMESON The v woman with drab hair is nei- SAner blonde nor brunette. Usually, she doesn't like it, She feels that her glorious halo lacks character, yet it may carry lovely lights and ghadows.. Compared to run.of-the- mill good-looks grievances, hers is a * minor pulchritude fault. In the back of her mind is the thought that she'd like to play with the peroxide bottle and be a Golden Girl. Drab hair can be bleached, and with success, but not by the home experimenter, Accomplished by an experienced operator who under- stands the effects of chemicals used for the purpose of changing the color, dull tresses can be given iife and glitter. The operator must be conscientious as well as skillful. Dyeing and bleaching treatments call for sound judgment, careful re- gard for details. One head of hair does not respond like the next one. One fact must be kept in mind. The first treatment is not the end of the project. One is working then on the virgin color, hair shafts are in normal condition. If the bleach- ing medium is the corréct choice,| and all goes well, the reflection in the mirror may be pleasing. There you are, a lovely blonde baby! But nature doesn't pay any at- tention. Nature goes right on push- ing" forth drab shafts. The néw growth must be touched up every two months because, in that time, there is almost an inch of the dark. er shade, - e Then trouble doesn't begin. No new application of peroxide may overlap 'the old one. If it does, the hair will be streaked. The ammonia that is added will cause the shafts to become jute-like and, in the course of years, they may break at the touch of the comb. Once the hair is over-bleached, it is 'almost impossible to recondi- tion it. Hot oi] treatments have some effect, but the growth is not really normal until nature has disposed of the high-lighted ends. This period of transition is not easy to endure One is half golden, half drab. There are dyes to restore the natural S It is almost impossible to recondi- tion overbleached hair. * bP shade, but they do not restore soft ness to the shafts. As a rule, this type has the com- plexion of the blonde--fair skin or ivory with pleasing pinkness in the cheeks, The eyes may be blue, brown, grey, green or hazel. For make-up she requires the most delicate tints. Lipstick and rouge-- if she uses it--must be not too strong in color. Wine shades of lip- stick are seldom a~ becoming as the orange-reds. One should be fussy about the color of the clothes one wezrs, avoid- ing beige and certain dull browns. Black is a happy choice; navy is flattering; white is good. 'CARE' Holiday Package Contains Christmas Dinner for Twelve 3 Ottdwa, Ont--A new CARE package designed to bring a festive Christmas dinner to a Sufopsan family as large as twelve, is an- nounced today by Breen Melvin, Canadian Representative of the non-profit organization. The package, containing a whole Yurkey, plus "fixings," was as- sembled in response to many re- quests for a special holiday pack- age which would relieve the mon- otony of European diets, he said. The turkey in the package is a special breed developed for the maximum amount of meat and the minimum of bone. Since only a limited number of these special turkeys aré available, Mr. Melvin urged Canadians to or- ider- their holiday - packages -early, from (Canadian)' CARE headquar- ters, 193 Sparks Street, Ottawa. Pif- teen dollars is the complete cost, including guaranteed delivery in Austria - Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Finland, France, Germany (Ameri- can, British and French Zones and all of Berlin), Great Britain, (Eng- land, , Wales, Northern Ireland), Greece Hungary, Italy, Netherlands and Poland. "Turkey, plum pudding, hard candy and the other festive foods in the holiday package will bring a rare treat to European tables," he said. "The turkey is steam roasted in all its juices in aluminum foil, so that all the flavor is cooked in instead of out, as in the normal cooking process. Then, the turkey is canned under pressure in com- pletely sterile condition. No refrig- eration is needed. The turkey may be eaten cold, just as it comes from the CARE package, or may bé heat- ed and browned again before serv- The package contents include: 7 Ib. Turkey; 1 1b, Buttér; 1 lb.

Thee" sung oii Ry in three languages, come drifting out of the recreation hall of the Immigration quarters here. It was the weekly religious ser- vice of the 99 Estonians and Lat- vidn refugees from Communism seeking a new life in Canada after crossing the Atlantic in tiny craft. At the suggestion of Captain Eric Past, skipper of the refugee ship Osterwag, - services are conducted each Sunday night by ministers and Dartmouth churches, Prayers, scriptural readings and sermon are given first in English, in Estonian by Capt. Past, and then in Ldtvian by 65-year-old Mrs. Elizabeth Henning of Liepaja, Latvia, affectionately called "Mo- ther" by all the would-be Canad. ians, Choral music is supplied by an all-Négro choir, accompanied by a portable organ. An informal note is injected into the service when cries from babies in bed in a large dormitory across the hallway call several anxious pa- rénts from their devotions. The services are considered the highlight of the week although many have been entertained in Halifax homes, and driven through the surrounding area. During the day the refugees spend many hours attempting to master English, but the 40 chil- dren among them provide a noisy distraction. Some of the women and children are quartered in large. dormitories, while family groups of thre four occupy small private = and the single men sleep in dor- mitories which accommodate 50. There is a nursery for the smal- ler children, and. opening off the recreation room and overlooking the harbor is a large verandah, where the children play during the day, and their mothers hang their wash at night. "Arriving here from Gothenburg, Sweden, aboard two small vessels, the Capry and the Ostervag, the refugees have been at Immigration quarters for four weeks. AYOU'WOMEN Here's Good News!

BUNDESEN, M.D. WHOOPING COUGH DRUG WHOOPING cough is by no means the innocent disorder many parents suppose it. It is an infin- itely troublesome disease in older children, and a definite killer dur- ing" the first year of life. For this reason, the whole medi~ cal world is watching with interest the performance of a new drug which gives promise of being effec. tive against the germs causing whooping cough. Produced from bacteria known as bacillus aero- sporus, it is called, in view of its lineage, aerosporin. Tested on Animals As always, the first test of the new substances was made on ani- mals. After experiment . that it completely protected them against what would otherwise have been fatal doses of whooping cough infection, aerosporin was tried in the treatment of children with whooping cough. Ten youngsters, between one month and two and one-half years of age were treated. Aerosporin was given by injection into a muscle every four hours in mild cases and in twice the dose every three or four hours in severe cases. The treats: ment was continued for from three to five days. Showed Improvement All of the children showed defi- nite improvement in the first 48 hours of . treatment. Vomiting, periods of coughing; and: the frequency of coughing at- tacks were léss. The patients in whom treatment was begun within a week after the onset of the typical whoop recovered without any com- plications irrespéctive of the sever- ity of the disease or the age of the patient. When treatment was be. gun later than a week after the on- set of the whooping attacks, the effects were less favorable. This. difference may be due in part to the fact that after whoop- ing cough has made the patient vulnerable, other germs usually find an easy entrance into the lungs. Not only does this secondary attack widen the damaged area but, by giving all invaders a better chance to dig in, makes it harder to-'dis- lodge them. Thus, in all those cases in which treatment is started several weeks after the onset, a combination of the aerosporin with one of the sulfonamide drugs may be more effective than the use of the aerosporin alone. Before a definite statement can be made as to the exact value of aerosporin, results of treatment on a larger group of patients must be observed. But it is to be hoped that in this new antibiotic substance will be found a potent weapon against whooping cough, a disease which annually kills so many young babies. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS J. J. J.: Will you please tell me something about head noises? Answer: Buzzing and ringing in the ears may be due to a number of causes, such as anemia, kidney dis- ease, accumulation of wax in the ear, as well as an infection in the tube connecting the ear with the mouth, It would be advisable to have a physical examination made to de- termine the cause of this condition.

GLAMORIZING Post-Summer Complexion Aid By HELKN FOLLETT A good beauty trick is to follow your nightly face washing with an application of a good freshener lotion. « * IS that golden glow of summer disappearing from your complex. ion- Let us hope that it is mak- ing a slow 'departure, that it is not going patchy. If it does, it is possible that one's face may be slightly piebald, and that is no laughing matter. You can help along this period of transition if you have a few moments to spare for a before-bedtime freshening treatment. The skin is in a constant state of decay and renewal; dead scales fulff away, new ones are revealed. By stimulating this natural process you can be rid of your tan, if that is your desire. After the "nightly face washing with a bland soap and a thorough rinsing, dip a washcloth iA warm water, hold close to the flesh. Repeat half a doin times. Rinse with cold water to bring a reaction of the blood streams, dry gently, apply a little cream. Follow by applying a good freshener lotion. * LJ In the morning use cold water and, after a gentle drying, apply a lotion made by combining equal parts of strained lemon juice and peroxide. The peroxide should be from a freshly opened bottle. A hint to the girl who is a summer freckle collector! Let the lotion dry on the flesh. An old fashinoed. beauty treat- ment consists of buttermilk laved on the face with pledgets of cotton. The acid in the buttermilk has a mild bleaching effect. A face pack, used once a week, will not only whiten the skin, but will have a cleansing effect if the pores are 'dust laden. Take three tablespoonfuls of kao- lin, mix with enough witch hazel to form a pack the consistency of whipped cream. Apply to a clean skin surface. Pick up your mystery story, and read until the mask be- gins to flake. Remove with warm water, use a little cream with light friction, TIPS FOR TEENS How to Be Unpopular By ELINOR WILLIAMS How to make yourself unpopular Win the girls or hoys you'd like to ate: Juggle dates. Make a date, then break it when something or some- body more interesting comes along. That kind of thing soon gets around and you'll be labelled "Unreliable" or "Can't count on him." Follow your original plans and make a date for some other time with the "more interesting" person. Expéct a goodnight kiss at the Or act in a flirty way as if a kiss might be forthcoming, then refuse it indig- nantly. Remember, kisses are meant to show genuine affection and are not payment for dates, so don't cheapen yours. If everybody can have them, nobody will want them. Rave about other dates instead of ing fun with this one, enjoying his or her company. Suggest the most expensive spot in town for a snack or a meal. In- stead, make several suggestions, if asked, so your date can choose one that suits his billfold. Shrug your shoulders and say, doesn't matter to me," when your date asks what you'd like to do on Friday night. Give two or three suggestions and let your date take it from there or accept one of your date's ideas with enthusiasm. "I don't care" wastes time and sounds like lack of interest. Sulk if your date can't call for you in a convertible. If you really like him, he'll be fun on a bus or street car, (For tips on easy exercises, for correct posture to improve your ap- pearance, send a stamped, self- addressed envelope to Elinor Will- fams at this paper.) Snappy Suggestions For a Hungry Horde It's school time again and that means hearty lunches at noontime for a horde of hungry youngsters. Why not steer your théughts to- ward a mid-day soup and sand- wich combination. They are filling and deliclous--and so easy on you busy mothers. Here are a couple of excellent combinations we found in this month's Woman's Home Companion. Their first suggestion is a surprising mixture which makes a hearty soup. Combine a can of condensed cream of spinach soup, with one can of cream of chicken soup then gradually stir in an equal quantity of water. Heat thoroughly. It makes four big bowlfuls. With it serve chili cheese toast. This you make by mixing together 1-2 cup of ente cheese spread, a 1-4 cup"of peanut butter and 1 tablespoon of chili sauce. Spread it between two slices of hot toast. Make a lot because your hungry young-ones will howl for more. You can keep the makings of this next impromptu special on your pantry shelf for days when you are in a hurry. It's call shrimp gumbo. You make it by combinirigy a can oT condensed vetegable soup (which has been diluted with an equal: amount of water), one five ounce can of drained shrimp and 1-2 cup milk. Stir it all together, heat thoroughly and serve at once. Steamed brown bread sandwiches are the idéal accompaniment. Use the canned brown bread, slice it thin and spread with butter or margarine. RETURN STOLEN COAT Edmonton-- (CP) Police re- turned a coat to Doris Fediuk be- fore she could tell them it was stol- en. A citizen found the coat in a down.town lane and a label iden- titled it. She told police it had been stolen in a dance hall the night before. ENGLISH ORE Most of Britain's are is produced in England, especially in Cumber- land, Lancashire and Staffordshire. at | Hollywood His By BOB THOMAS Hollywood,--(AP) -- Joan Craw- ford, who has worked long and suc- cessfully enouglhh in Hollywood to talk back to anyone, has this to sayy about movie producers: "They're afraid to take chances. "This is the most competitive business 'in the world. But when producers follow each other and are afraid to 'do something different, that's bad for the industry. I'm afraid that people will start stay- ing away from the movies and will go out and buy television sets or some other form of entertainme: t." The cause of this outburst ° is Joan's pet project, "Miss O'Brien.' She's mighty hepped up on the story. She tells how it came about: "I happened to see some school- teacher statistics that were being prepared for a magazine article, I was appalled.-I mentioned to a ra- dio writer that something should be done to tell the public about it, He told a friend who wrote up a synop- sis of a story about a schoolteacher. Producer Jerry Wald was entius- ed, but Marner Bros. bigwigs turned thunfbs down. Too big a risk they said; message pictures don't make money. Joan wheedled the studio taking an option on the story, but | the option was soon dropped. So the actress took over "Miss O'Brien." "I've had many. letters from schoolteachers begging me to make this film," she says. "Some of them would break your heart with the shocking conditions they describe. The low pay, the social restriction and the discrimination against teachers is a national disgrace." Joan put a writer to work on the script and engaged curt Berhardt as director. Stie'll do the film right af. ter "Flamingo Road" and right now she is talking to four studios about sale of the package--star, script and d4rector, Lie One Patch Quilt | That good old-time one-patch quilt!
