72 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, November 3, 1959 From Mr. John's "Society Collection" comes this lux- a ASSET silhouette with a graciously wide collar of Empress chin- chilla. For an added note of elegance there is an etoile cap that is embroidered with gold and rhinestones CHILD GUIDANCE Some Fear Is At Work When Children Play Sick By CLEVELAND MYERS You may know some adults who escape unpleasant tasks or experiences by playing sick. They probably have done so from their early years. It surely is a childish trick, he may invent ways to escape doing them by pretending he has a headache or a pain in his stom- ach. With practice, this child may acquire great skill at such mal- ingering. Even in high school he may feign illness when a dreaded test faces him. Most letters I receive about playing sick are related to the early elementary school child who uses this device to be al- lowed to stay home from school. : In some instances the child gives all the appearances of be- ing sick. He may even vomit, Curiously enough, many parents write that this child never indi- 2 = 8 8 ; EE g 5 s 8 5 4 = & ® 3 - 4 £ g FREE I ef i : - i 1 shit i i ' I ] fevis | ; i E g § are sure he is able. If he con- tinues to say he is sick only on school mornings, take him at his word; put him to bed without means for amusement and call Q. When our daughter, eight, returns home from school she is very hungry. She eats so much then that she may not even come to the table for dinner. If she does come to the table, she eats almost nothing. A. Limit her eating after school to a very, very small amount, regardless of her pleas or crying. Nevertheless, see that your child goes to school when you Mission Circle Of Business Girls At St. Stephen's St. Stephen's United Church Mission Circle was organized in 1958. It is a group of young busi- ness girls who meet once a month in the members' homes and fol- low the missionary study pro- gram as outlined by the United 'Church. I has a full slate of officers and secretaries the same as the Woman's Missionary Society. They visit the sick and shut- ins and also send cards to the bereaved in the community. Last year they invited Whitby Mission Circle for an evening of fellowship and enjoyed pictures shown of the Christian work done for Indian children in British Col- umbia. They took part in a missionary family night when all branches of women's group were present. Mrs. James Green, a missionary, 1 Evening Auxiliary Greenwood WMS Uses Study Packets The Greenwood Evening Auxil- of the Women's Missionary Society was organized in 1949 as a "promotion" of the Greenwood Mission Circle, which was or- ganized in 1920. The prepared Study Packets have been used at our monthly A Friendship Tea was held this year, and we spent an evening with the ladies of Fairview Lodga--providing a worship serv- ice, hymn sing and social time together. Most of our funds have been raised by personal givings through the use of monthly en. velopes, . Autumn and Easter Thank-offerings. The officers for 1959 are: past president, Mrs. R. Jackman; president, Miss E. Ormerod; vice-president, Mrs. F. Webb; recording secretary, Mrs. C. Mc- Taggart; assistant secretary, Mrs. W. Pegg; corresponding sec., Mrs. C. Closson; treasurer, Mrs. J.

It's a good idea to look at the labels. The combination- of orlon and viscose, for instance, gives the impression of wool, as does rayon with acetate. You can see these and other blends in leisure robes, sportswear and dresses. EASY TO WASH Some of the printed corduroy dusters and robes that have the wool look are not only attractive and vely comfortable to wear, io they are very easily washed In styles, the duster seems to be still going strong and is avail- able in either tailored versions or softened models, with a chiffon scarf and draped collar, or with frilly accents. Plaid patterns are popular and are done in mellowed shades of red, brown, and gold! In fact, they look nice enough to serve as a casual coat. PYRAMID DUSTER For a more feminine effect, there's the wool - like pyramid duster, with pink tapestry - like roses all over it, finished off with a fiattering chiffon scarf long enough to tie in a big bow at the high neckline, A little imagination can trans- late this into a late-day or eve- ning coat with no trouble at all. FOR LITTLE GIRLS Shopping for clothes for a little girl is an especially, pleasing ex- perience, too, this fall. You may start out to buy your little daughter a single addition to her wardrobe, such as a simple one-piece dress. But chances are that you'll come 'home with at least two articles, and maybe three or four! For clothes desig- ned for little girls seem to come in multiple pieces this season. Two dresses are designed to be worn together. A jumper dress just isn't right without its spec- jally designed blouse. The two - piece dress idea is really sweet and dainty. In many cases, fortunately, each dress can be worn separately or in com- bination with some other dress. TOP DRESS The top dress is cut low at the neckline, either sleeveless or with very short sleeves to show off the Smoking During Affects Weight of Ba By M, McINTYRE HOOD Special to The Oshawa Times LONDON --Women who smoke have smaller babies than do non- smoking mothers, says a report published in the British Medical Journal, giving the wesults of an 'exhaustive investigation conduct- ed by Dr. C. R. Lowe, lecturer Pregn 1ancy har, Dy = | appreciably lighter than female infants of non-smokers, a rever- sal of the usual sex differences in social medicine at Birming- |put ham University. On the other hand, they are also less lkely to require surgical intervention in the birth of their babies. he investigations were made into the effect of smoking on the According to the report, the children of mothers who smoked throughout pregnancy weighed on the average six pounds less than the babies of mothers who did not smoke. This was much great- er than the difference between male and female birth and be- tween first and later births. It appeared to be great enough, the report says, to lower signifi- cantly the incidence of surgical induction of labor among smok- ers, The mean weight of infants of heavy smokers, 10 or more cigar- ettes a day, was less than that of infants of women who smoked less than that number. Male in- fant of regular smokers were St. David's Society Ladies' Auxiliary Nearly All Welsh The Saint David's Ladies' Aux- iliary was founded in 1946 and has since that time found oppor Sunition for service in the dis- During the war years parcels were provided for our soldiers overseas, raised funds for the British Overseas War Victims Fund, also contributed generously to the bombed out areas of Swan- sea and Cardiff in South Wales. It is responsible for the Annual Saint David's Society picnic and Christmas party, for the mem- bers' children. The Ladies' Auxiliary is an im- portant branch of the parent body, namely the Saint David's Society of Oshawa. Many of its members are keenly interested and directly connected with many worthwhile endeavors within eivie affairs, The executive eouncil are the following: President, Mrs. David Munkley; vice - president, Mrs. Stanley Simpson; secretary, Mrs. William Nott; treasurer, Mrs. Ivor Davies; publicity, Mrs. Rob- ert Andrews; sick list committee, Mrs. T. J. Roche; catering, Mrs. Murdeck MacKay. red overdress banded with rick- rack. The two full skirts stand out charmingly. Choose wash-and-wear fabrics and you needn't give a thought to those billowy skirts. As for the jumper, the small- size version is a major fashion item just now. It's especially nice in velveteen with an eyelet-em- broidered blouse to go under it. Sleeves are of the very, very full, caught into a band just blow the elbow, hardly ed sufficient to account for the difference in birth weights, since dietary deficiencies had little in- fluence on birth weight unless they were severe, Another conclusion reached was that tobacco had a direct pharmacological action on the foetus, since the foetal heart rate increased when a pregnant wom an smoked a cigarette. An even more eredible explanation was that smoking limited the blood supply of the foetus. : AT-THE-EAR HEARING AIDS ond related profes. sionol services in cone nection with Zenith Eyegloss Hearing Aids ore evoiloble only throvgh youve Somerish, or optician. .
