| orang, - ay, February 12th, 1948 ~ In the Woman's solved That Men Prefer New Look To That of Old Look That headline looks very like a challenge to battle, but actually it is the topic for a debate to be held by Arts and Crafts Inc. at their regular meeting Wednesday night, February 18, at the Barn. Two teams--males--will con- test the affirmative and negative sides of this highly debatable TY al wt w a subject. For the affirmative will be: Major Bob Appleford, team captain; Ted Kober and Jock Carpenter, Negative team captain is Jack Milne with Colin McGillivray and "Chick" Baker to ably support him. Herb Merry, who is arranging the evening said that stage props were permissable and that there really was a P.S. to the resolu. tion to the effect that the New Look referred to is the dress and the undergarments only, and THE OAKVILLE-TRAFALGAR JOURNAL World specifically excludes hats, stock- ings and shoes, He has a good slate of judges lined up with Harry Pawson and Mr Bert Parsons, manager Dale Carnegie Institute Toronto, who will later give a talk on the topic "Public Speaking and Personality Develop- ment." Coming before Easter, when New Look costumes will be in every woman's thoughts, this debate might well be a lifesaver for husbands who have been pro- moting the idea that the budget has already been stretched as far as it will go. Perhaps they'll be there to root for the negative team as the ladies will un- doutedly be there to cheer on the affirmative! One thing that is 'most en- couraging is the certain fact that there are still brave men in our town. Or are the judges also concerned about the family bud- get' sufficiently to risk the pos- sible anger a certain decision might bring? Hello Career Girls! that men go for good cooking!

A speaker at the recent North American Beauty and Fashion show in Detroit while explaining basic principles in hairdressing told his audience that it was pretty nearly a certainty that bobbed hair was in style over 2,000 years ago as a mummy in an American museum had her hair bobbed in modern style-- and it was waved also.

However, there is one big dif- ference. What took hours of work to accomplish in the periods referred to now can be done with ease and rapidity because of the equipment, lotions, etc, which have been developed to assist the hairdresser achieve to-day's suc- cessful creations, Less time for actual mechanics means more time for thought concerning the final effect--and more time for the ladies to spend on activities where their hair may be admired. From pictures of the ages re- ferred to it would be @ conser- vative guess that many hours each day were spent by beauties of the period in their boudoirs achieving effects which were so admired. Now it can be done in a short time--that's the progres- sive part of the whole thing.
