CLEVELAND MYERS, You and I have visited in class- rooms of the elementary grades in which we have the teacher giving directions to the entire group while some or many of the children were talking loudly or fooling. More than once we have seen a teacher in kindergar- ten, first or second grade, after calling part or all of the chil- dren together from a play activity quiet is necessary, waiting many minutes for these children to get in place and settle down. The time the majority of the children and the patient teacher waste for the few non-conformists can be reasonably justified. Whereas we may have attended some junior or senior high school assemblies where we were impres- sed with the fine decorum and self-control of the students there, we have visited others where lam reigned. DESIRABLE CONFORMITIES No one would argie even for a semblance of military regimen at school. But unless children there learn to conform to certain regu- lations that have obviously been formulated for the best welfare of the entire group, they hardly are being well educated for de- sirable conformities to regulations in our wider community. Isn't it true that the child who conforms well to certain regulations, has more opportunities for wide indivi- dual freedoms in other directions? How would you like to be the junior choir leader of the average group of youngsters who waste so much of their leader's time and energy?

In many classrooms and entire schools, there should be more of But children should also learn with practice at school, to turn without unreasonable dawdling, prolonged talking and fooling, from comparative total freedom to ser- often give explanations and direc- tions meant for all the children of a group, while some or many of these children are talking ir- relevantly or just fooling around, are ; doing these children moral and social harm, and burdening themselves and other teachers or leaders with unnecessary nervous strain.

Most important of all, per- haps, your reducing pal is also your res ibility, and you solve your i problems in helping solve hers. FRIEND IN NEED Incidentally, that brings to mind the woman who wrote, "How can anyone who is so responsible about everything else, be completely ir- responsible when it comes to food?" The perfect solution to her problem is an ugderstanding re- ducing pal. : As the TOPS founder, Esther "'Overweights are~fun-loving warm-hearted folk who enjoy getting together with friends. But where there are friends, there is sure to be food-- alas, fattening food. So dieting either means giving up the bowl- ing team and the bridge club, or exerting an iron will when faced with refreshments." Small wonder overweights who try to go it alone get those dieters' blues. There is a heartening esprit de corps among TOPS members. From experience they know just when to sympathize with you, and when to pull you up short so as to spur you on to greater effort. IT'S FUN THIS WAY TOPS clubs meet once a week, weigh in, and make a game of losing pounds and inches. And since a record of total poundage is kept, each member feels a responsibility to the group. They also talk over common weight problems, share recipes--non-fat- tening ones, of course--and enjoy some form of recreation. Some clubs go in for rhythm slimming and waist whittlers. Others have bowling teams, square dance clas- ses, swimming sessions, or group hobbies. Occasionally they feature speakers. But time's a"wastin!. You're eager for information on how to oin a reducing club. Write to PS National Headquarters, 259 E. Wells St.,, Milwaukee, Wisc., for the address of your nearest TOPS club. If there is no reducing club in your locality, start one! It's as easy as planning a party for your friehds--only in this case you in- vite the friends who need to lose weight. This could turn out to be a most exciting venture, and a ular one too!

For the last few months, Neel has been extremely busy. Relaxa- on has been crowded out of a schedule that included orchestral appearances and rehearsals, lec- ture tours and two weeks of in- struction at % summer music school near Bournemouth. So the noted British musician, a tall, bronzed bachelor of 48, looking forward to the ocean cross- ing as something of a holiday. He plans to be in Toronto Sept. 9. "I'm looking ahead eagerly to the appointment," he said in an interview. "I'm not sure yet ex- actly what my new duties will be. I'll just have to wait and see." He is no stranger to organizing studies in musical academies. One of his first big jobs will be on the selection committee of five responsible for a special program of Canadian music -to be heard Oct. 16 in New York's Carnegie Hall. The works will be presented by a leading symphony orchestra conducted by Leopold Stokowski, who is also on the selection com- mittee. Others are Dr. Edward Johnson, Sir Ernest MacMillan and Dr. Claude Champagne, all well- known figures in the world of mu- sic. Oshawa Interested in Appointment Of Dr. Boyd Neel to Conservatory One of Neel's last-minute busi- ness chores in Britain concerns the winter program planned for the Boyd Neel orchestra, founded by him in 1 "to explore the largely neglected repertory of string mu- sie." Neel has made no announcement on the future of his orchestra should he decide to remain in Can- ada longer than the two years of his appointment. He will, however, be in close touch with the orches- tra while in Canada. He returns to London for the last two months of this year to fill contracts made before accepted the Canadian dganship. There is every likelihood he will visit Britain frequently during his stay in Canada. But the orchestra now is an efficient, established part of the world of music, ca- pable of looking after itself. In the is 20 years since its inception, the Boyd Neel orchestra has built 3p a reputation in Europe and Nort! America for the "careful, efficient and artistic charatter of its per- formance," to quote one music trade journal. A Cambridge graduate with med- ical degree, experience in hospital work and five years of general practice, Neel has become an au- thority on music and spends much time on lecture tours and talks. Thus his orchestra is used to get- ting along with guest conductors. He is often requested to conduct orchestras other than his own. When he returns temporarily in November his engagements include five concerts in Holland as guest conductor of the Dutch Radio Or- chestra. On Christmas Eve he will conduct the City of Birmincham Symphony Orchestra. By SAULT PETIT NEW YORK (AP)--Other chorus | & girls may dream of dancing so well and smiling so radiantly their personal glow will overwhelm the Hollywood scout sitting in eighth row centre, But not the Rockettes. While not averse to stardom, they have a dread of attracting individual at. tention on stage. Too often that would mean they were out of step. Their job is to look alike, dance alike, smile alike. As a result, the average Rock: ette has become one of the world's most famous nonentities. She dan. ces before 8,000,000 people a year at Radio City Music Hall. As a New York tourist attraction she ranks with the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and Broadway's bright lights. But no fame ever involved more anony- mity. Loss of stage identity goes with this job of giving the audience the illusion of watching 36 smiles and 72 legs perform as one, whether they're tapping, kicking or wheel ng, in formation around the block: he girls work seven days a week for three weeks and then get the fourth week off. For that reason, there are actually 46 Rock: ettes, 10 to take wp thie slack when the others are ing rotated. lore stage. e girls do four shows a day beginning after noon and ending about 10 p. m. Between shows they have only about two hours-- less 'than that when they're re. hearing new performances. They spend this time in their dressing rooms or lounging on the A deck. Unlike Other Chorus Girls Rockettes Suppress Individuality While the Rockettes proudly re- ard their line as tops in the field, they don't look on their work as a stepping stone to bigger the- atrical jobs because of their stage anonymity. Few have made the big jump to outstanding solo work. Among the exceptions are Vera Ellen, Lucille Bremer and Adele Jergens. ; ost Rockettes retire after a few years in favor of marriage. Many return to the towns they came from, marry, raise a family and run a dancing school. The Rockettes range in height from under five feet-four at the ends of the line to five-feet 7% in the middle. This gives the audience the illusion of watching girls of exactly the same stature. - In any one show, the Rockettes Misually aren't on stage more than six minutes. After the first week of a new production, they generally can perform mechanically without thinking about their intricate move- ments. !

THE STARS SAY By ESTRELLITA FOR TOMORROW Despite minor obstacles and temporary setbacks, do not let enthusiasm wane or yield to frus- tration. A great deal may be ac- complished this day, especially if you show a willingness to co-oper- ate with friends and co-workers. In all efforts, however, it would be wiser to adhere to well-tested procedures than to experiment with the new or unfamiliar. Tomorrow the Moon enters Ar- ies, which augurs well for all forms of relaxation. Especially dur- ing the evening hours should you find renewed pleasure in hobbies, sports and cultural activities. Ro- mance and courtship are favored. FOR THE BIRTHDAY If tomorrow is your birthday you may at present be occupied with domestic problems or tech- nical difficulties, but your excel- lent mental and manual dexter- ity should enable you to resolve either situation quickly and sat- isfactorily. Do not accept new re- sponsibilities, however, until pres- ent assignments are fulfilled. Pro- fessional and financial opportuni- ties are in store for you during the early fall, and you will need a clear mind if you would take ad- vantage of them. During September you face the possibility of travel or some other activity which could broaden your horizons considerably. Be alert where finances are concerned, es- pecially during the last three months of 1953, and be wary of those who would tempt you into risking your hard-earned cash. A child born on this day will be conservative, meticulous and keen- ly interested in matters of health. Australian Pres.

Speaking at the closing plenary session of the ACWW's 10-day con- ference, Mrs. Berry said: 'The shrinkage of this world by fast transportation and communication has made it impossible for us to continue to think natignally." She said that as president she will never accept complacency among the constituent societies be- cause "there is no reason for us to believe we have even begun to solve the problems of this world's country women."

THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, August 3, 1058 ¥ Enrolment at Summer School Shows More Canadians Bi-Lingual TROIS-PISTOLES, Que. (CP)-- in this quaint little Quebec village on the shore of the St. Lawrence, representatives of all parts of Can- ada gather annually at a unique summer school, established to im- prove relations between Canada's French-speaking and English- speaking citizens. ; The school was founded 21 years ago by Dr. Sherwood Fox, then president of the University of West- ern Ontario in London, Ont. He envisioned a Canada where French and English-speaking citizens in rfect harmony, speaking each language fluently and respecting the customs of each. At the outset, the school gave courses in French to teachers and students from points outside Que- bec. Now courses in English for French-speaking students and teachers have been added along with courses in art. Enrolment has increased from 26 in 1933 to 175 this year, including some from the United States. BRIDGES GAP The school still operates on the principles laid down by Dr. Fox, who lieved Western University could help to bridge ti tween French and English-speaking Canadians. Dr. Fox, himself fluently bilin- gual, once said (in French): "The true patriot is one who is | first and foremost loyal to all his fellow citizens and not to a par- ticular group or a special region of this country. "Anyone who says that those who speak English only or those who speak French only are true Cana- dians is himself lacking in real loyalty. "Since my early youth I have realized that such a conception of the Canadian ideal is false. . ." Dr. Fox credited his own under- standing of French-Canadians and their problems to his association at university and in later life with Senator Jacob Nicol of Sherbrooke, Que. They became close friends and during visits with Senator Nicol in varjous parts of Quebec, Dr. Fox said, he developed a "great affection and profound ad- miration" for Fre nc h-speaking Canadians. BEAUTIFUL SITE When he decided on a summer gap be- 1 school to give practical lessons in French and in national unity, he was faced with a problem of where to establish it. He chose this vil- lage, 100 miles northeast of Quebec, when struck by its beauty while on a trout-fishing trip. Stretched along the south shore of the St. Lawrence, the village faces the picturesque Ile-aux-Basques. From the outset, Quebec church and education authorities and the population of Trois-Pistoles threw their support behind the summer school. Dr. H. E. Jenkin, now in charge of the school, and Professor E. Bas- sett did much to make Dr. Fox' dream a reality. Permission was obtained to use the local convent for the seyen-week courses. From its small beginning the school has grown into one that has gained national and interna- tional recognition. The governments of Ontario and Quebec have provided scholarships to make it possible for teachers and students to follow courses at the school. The Carnegie Foundation of New York financed courses for 50k students between 1943 and When the Carnegie grant was exhausted, Queen's University at | Kingston, Ont., and the University of British Columbia provided schol- | arships for students. TOP TEACHERS Dr. Jenkin, who conducts the school with what his students have described as a '"velve t-gloved hand," is assisted by top-ranking teachers from institutions in On- tario and Quebec. Lessons of the classroom are put nto practice by the students and teachers at their boarding houses. They have rooms and meals with French-speaking families, and many a lasting friendship has de- veloped from the courses. "It is like a death in the family for us when we leave," said Dr. Marcel Catellier of Trois-Pistoles. "It is something like the sadness we feel when our relatives leave us after the Christmas and New Year's holidays." Students and villagers alike feel a twinge of sadness when the courses end. Hooked Wool Rugs Retain Popularity From Age to Age TORONTO (CP) -- One of the pioneer crafts, the making of hooked rugs, has retained its pop- ularity over the years. "One of the reasons for this is that the tools and materials used are so easy to find," says Audrey Spencer, supervisor of homecrafts for the Ontario Women's Institutes branch. "They are often materials that are of no further use and would otherwise be discarded." * She says that discarded wool garments give the most satisfac- tory results. These may be dyed to get the desired colors, then cut into strips varying in width from Ya to % inch, depending on the weight of the material. Any mater- ial may be used, but each rug should consist entirely of one ma- terial so it will wear evenly. As for patterns, Miss Spencer emphasizes ""a simple pattern is most attractive, and may be re- peated over the whole rug. A familiar example of this is the boot pattern used by our grand- mothers, when the pattern was made by tracing around the heel of a man's boot and was re- peated over and over, "Dividing the burlap into squares and repeating simple flower shapes in the squares was another method that produced an attractive design. The flowers were often copied from the omen's gardens or from their china." HOUSEHOLD HINT Never .run an electric cord where it will be walked on, or where furniture may - be moved over it. Wires should be examined periodically to be sure the cover- ing is not worn. If there are any Sifu of wear, have these covered with specil tape, or have the cord replaced. Besides the danger of an old wire, a frayed cord detracts from the appearance of lamps and electrical appliances. FALSE TEETH That Loosen Need Not Embarrass Many wearers of false teeth have suf- fered real embarrassment because their plate dropped, slipped or wobbled at just the wrong time. Do not live in fear. of this happening to you. Just sprinkle a little FASTEETH, the alkaline (non- | acid) powder, on your plates. Holds false teeth more firmly, so they feel more comfortable. Does not sour. Checks "plate odor" (denture breath), Get | FASTEETH at any drug store.
