MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE, DELTA, UTAH WOMAN'S WORLD Exercise and Diet Essential in Anv Skin Care Proamm By Ertta Haley KIN BEAUTY is essential dur- - ing the whole year, but since most of us are meeting old friends and new more during holiday time than at any other, we'd like to give our best impression. There's nothing like the beauty of a healthy, attractive skin to give beauty to a woman or a teen-age- With glowing countenance, she can face any situation confidently and be certain that she is giving a good impression. You cannot work miracles in a week or two if skin is a problem, but you can make a great improvement with care. If you have good skin, you can make it even more of an asset by trying a new make-up- , a new freshness. Gift Memo r . , J v. ' j fZ r iK - , ' " s; j ' V - T " ' 1 j ' " A 1- - r iffll if. J soap. Work up a good lather. Start-ing with the face, go over the whole body with the soapy cloth.

Follow with a brisk rub with a dry, absorbent towel. The towel bath is a modification of the sponge bath, and may be used if you don't have a basin handy. It is often used if you are over a just getting cold and don't want to ex-pose yourself to all-ov- immersion in water. Soak the turkish towel in mild, warm suds and go over the whole body. Rub hard. Rinse the towel thoroughly in clear water and go over all the area. Follow this, too, with a brisk rub with a dry towel. All Types in Need Soap Cleansing Cream cleansing is advised for skin, but not to the neglect of soap and water. There are such skins which react unwillingly to the over-use of too much soap and water, but even then this type of cleaning should not be neglected. Choose only a very mild soap for facial cleaning. Use lukewarm wa-ter and work a good lather out of soap which is to be applied to the face quickly and lightly. Rinse this off promptly. Dry thoroughly and apply lotion or cream. Those with thick or oily skin should use hot water generously and rub the lather into the skin vigor-ously. Follow this with a cold rinse, splashing the face vigorously. Since i3 this type of skin is already oily, cream or oil need not be used after washing. If you are looking for a very mild soap, choose one which has perfume as well as soap in which fats and alkali have been combined carefully so there is no excess of the alkali. Enhance Natural Beauty With Sensible Make-U-p Make-u- p is a normal procedure in making the face more attractive than it would be without it. Heavy make-u- p is not essential or even recommended, but something of the art of bringing out the natural skin beauty is of benefit to every woman. A slight blush in the cheeks, so slight that you hardly notice it, brings more color to the eyes, for example. A touch up to the lips will prevent them from having that faded look which all but few have. Heavy shine, too, is worth some effort in combatting for somehow this makes pores seem larger and contours unflattering. You may use a foundation plus powder, or what is newer, a combination make-u- p that is dry but gives you foundation and powder at the same time. This is excellent for mothers to recom-mend especially to the teen-age- r who uses make-u- p with too heavy a touch, for this gives lightness that is flattering. The latest eye make-u- p is very striking but it takes expert hands to apply if it is to give the desired results. Most women still prefer only a minimum of penciling and shadow only at evening for the eyes. Holidays are a good time to start because they're an incentive to look-ing our best. Skin care started now may be just the thing you need to carry you through the whole year. Check over your diet list first. If yours includes too many rich foods, your skin may be breaking out con-stantly, and this is impossible to control with external care. Delete the rich foods and you'll notice great Improvement in a week. Skin will benefit from a balanced diet that's rich in fruit and vegeta-bles with simple dressings and sea-sonings. Include milk, eggs and a moderate amount of protein foods such as meat in place of the sweets Santa Claus will have done right well by the young lady who receives an ivory white case containing foundation and powder intended to give the wearer the complexion of an angel. The compact-cas- e bears a flower design etched in gold and contains a full view mirror, adequate for fixing hair or lips, as necessary. because it's good for you, but also because you'll be more attractive. When you stand properly and breathe deeply, your blood circu-lates more freely, and your whole body, including your skin, will re-spond to this care. If at all possible, take some form of bath after vigorous exercise. You will have perspired freely, which is to the good, but if you don't wash away the impurities, the pores of the skin will clog and prevent prop-er elimination of sweat, oil and other products which the skin must throw off. Many Bathing Facilities Offer Adequate Cleanliness Regular bathing is essential to good skin care, namely, to wash off impurities which would otherwise tend to clog the pores. A tub or Daily cleansing is essential . , . and starches you may have been consuming. There is such a thing as beauty sleep, for if you get your quota of seven or eight hours nightly, you can do a lot to erase harsh lines on the skin just by the relaxation. Get Daily Quota ftm r , snower Dath may not always be pos-sible because you lack the facilities, the hot water or the warm room in winter. This doesn't mean you should skip the bath. You can always get enough heat and heat enough hot water to take one of the other types of baths which, properly admini-stered, will give you as much clean-liness as the tub or shower. Con- - vi dcruae Exercise is something else you should watch if you want to have good skin. Though it may seem a bit remote at first thought, exercise is as essential to skin beauty as cleanliness, diet and rest. When you get some vigorous exer-cise everyday, you not only stir the circulation, but you perspire more freely. Perspiration stimulates skin action and thus frees the pores of surface dirt, and this means that you can wash away skin impurities and dead cells more readily. You don't have to take special courses to get the proper exercise, although these are recommended if you have the time. If you don't, then reorganize whatever you do, so that it will amount to exercise. As you make the beds, move around the bed freely, turn the mat-tress, fluff pillows and tuck the covers underneath, do all these things briskly. When you walk, to shopping or just around the house doing your work, don't dawdle. Stand up straight, walk energetically, breathe deeply. You'll be doing this not only to beautiful, glowing skin. sider. the sponge or the towel bath when you can't get into a whole tub or running shower. You can take a sponge bath in as little as a quart of water. You may want to use more, but it's possible to get clean in that small amount. Place the water in a basin or pan, and stand yourself on a washable towel or rug. Dip a washcloth in the water and rub it over a bar, of mileAwhif-Q-f Come Clean "Oh, Mr. Jones," said Miss Dash, "I saw an advertisement saying that you could furnish your home by soap premiums; Every time you buy a piece of soap you get a furniture certificate. I am going to be married: do you think I could furnish my house that way?"" "Why, yes, Miss Dash," replied Mr. Jones, "I had a friend who got all the furniture for a six-roo- m house that way. The com-pany only had to send him furni-ture for one room ; the other five were full of soap." The Reprobate! A prominent business man fell in love with an actress and de-cided to marry her, but for the sake of prudence he employed a private detective to report on her life. When he received the report it read as follows: "The lady has an excellent rep-utation. Her past is without blem-ish. She has an excellent circle of pleasant friends the only breath of scandal is that lately she has been seen a great deal in the company of a business man of doubtful repute."

December 25 Is Red-Left- er Day In Most Lands N CALENDARS in most lands, December 25 is a red and green letter day. The holiday Isn't always called Christmas and many countries celebrate on differ-ent dates. Even Santa Claus has' his name and appearance changed as he circles the globe, and a multitude of Yule-tid- e customs exist In different nations. How long the Christmas festival has been celebrated is not definite-ly known. However, according to the World Book Encyclopedia, the holiday was spoken of in the 380's as a custom of long standing. In all Scandinavian countries, a Christmas tree, consisting of a sheaf of wheat bound to a pole, is raised for the winter birds. In Norway, an important item on the Christmas menu is a rice pudding, Into which is put one almond. The person who finds the almond in his pudding will be the first to get married. A light burning in the windows of Norwegian homes in-form travelers they are welcome to food and shelter. In China, odd stockings, made by sewing three pieces of muslin together, are hung op on Christmas Eve to hold the gifts brought by Lan Khoong-Khoon- g, which means "Nice Old Father." The Chi-nese Santa Claus is also known as "Dun Che Lao Ren," or "Christmas Old Man," and their Christmas tree is called the "Tree of Light." Early-morni-carolers sing Chinese words to such old favorites as "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing." An important part of the Christ-mas season in Guatemala, Hon-duras and Mexico is the pinata, a brightly decorated jar of sweets hung by a cord from the branch of a tree. The children are given long sticks, and each child gets a chance to break the pinata, and re-lease the stored candies. c Handsome Daytime Frock, ; j i i 11 Y J liifci :, 2 8643 Sr m J2-4- 2 1 Tailored Charm 'IS, pRISP, tailored charm for i '; busy winter schedule a hand-- uA some daytime frock that features curved detail on waist top and pockets.

It works for WORLD'S HOME REMEDY TO RELIEVE MISERIES ,Vs KATHLEEN NORRIS Riches Are More Than Finances THE MAN MY DAUGHTER is engaged to marry is not making enough money to support a home and a wife," writes Pauline Grace, from Austin, Texas, "We are New Yorkers, who came here because Maureen's lungs were affected by the eastern winters. Here she met her Ronny, whose pay is $45 a week. Now you know and I know, Mrs. Norris, that a young couple' can't live on little more than two thou-sand a year: If there were children, privations and underprivileges would ruin their lives. Unfortunate-ly Fred, my husband, and I, cannot be of any regular financial help, as with prices what they are today it takes every cent we have to the right stuff, that pretty much everything worth while in life is theirs to command. Austin, like all our other important cities, will offer them free lectures, free lessons in languages, or in any science, free galleries, free concerts. The cocktail parties they must give up wouldn't be of any benefit to them, not in a thousand years. But the language or the trade they might perfect in three or four of those years might push them on to success. Lasting Friendship They'll find contacts and friend-ships that are lasting. They'll find out how heartfilling it is to launch keep going at all, and Maureen's wed-ding will set us back for some time. Will you put into one of your arti-cles," the letter concludes, "what you think a fair income on which a young couple today, living in a southern city, may reasonably start?" Well, I'll tell you, Pauline. I think a young couple can begin on any-thing from $12,000 down to $1,200 a year. I expect a ream of angry letters about this, but I will hold my ground. Two persons can live on $100 a month, if they want to. "But live how!" the letters will scream. "Live like pigs, live on garbage, never have new clothes or amuse-ments or a car, telephone, radio; never know what is comfort or peace of mind!" The $1,200 Income But that's just where you're wrong. The persons who have fi-nancial peace of mind are by no means the richest among us. Any-one who lives 'way over his income lives worried, and when you read forth alone into this unknown sea of poverty that is never want, and of simplicity that is never need. They'll get the finest medical care in the city, free, in clinics. Their two-roo- home on an obscure street may well become the place to which two rich and prominent middle-ager- s look back someday with a nostalgic ache in their hearts. This venture takes two things that not even the richest marriage can buy. One is lave, an element con-spicuously lacking in most very prominent weddings. The other is courage. Love means that Maureen and Ronney trust each other; that they go into this thing wholeheartedly and hand in hand. The other means well, it means an essential to just about the most exciting experience life can offer young folk today. Men have traveled all over the world, and seen the Taj Mahal and the slums of Europe and the beaches of Hono-lulu, and haven't found the real adventure. But with life and $1,200 a year it is not 'only waiting, for any new venturers, but it is the background for success. -- ; . . smashed in a ring ..." of a pugilist who lets himself and his fame get smashed in a ring, or a movie star who has borrowed a hundred thousand to pay her income tax, you realize that that is true. One movie star who talked poor had an income of over three hundred thousand a year. But back to that $1,200 income. Could Maureen and her Ronny live as Mother and Dad do? Of course not. Could she live like her matron of honor, who has married the son of a rich family? Certainly not. But on $1,200 a year she may have all the richness of what I call the American adventure. She may prove, to her own and Ronny's enormous satisfaction, that the days of pioneering are not over. She may take that low income as a chal-lenge, and presently find herself writing articles or talking on the radio or instructing college groups of younger women in what she has learned from that experience. She must shed, to begin with, a great many of the artificial fine feathers that are cramping her con-temporaries in their flight from realistic living. All pretence of hav-ing more money than she has, all struggle to keep up with richer folk, must be abandoned at once. But when that is done, Ronny and Maureen may find, if they are of Norway Christmas Was Top Event pHRISTMAS just couldn't help '" being the event of events in Norway when was a girL Without exaggeration, prep-aration for Christmas actually began six months before De-cember 24. Everything which was used food, clothing, house-hold furnishings was pre-pared in the home. Even the leather for shoes was tanned from hides raised on the home-stead. The cloth for apparel, from the skin out, was woven on hand looms. Cobblers came to the house and made the shoes; dressmakers and tailors came. Everyone in the household had to have a new ward-robe for Christmas and, since tail-ors and cobblers and dressmakers could not be all places at once, it was necessary to get an early start. When the butchering was fin-ished In October or Nove-mberthe suet was melted and the candles were made. The children always had a hand in making the little ones for use on the Christmas tree. Even the birds were remembered with special Christmas trees which were made by tying bundles of straw to long staves or poles: the youngsters gleaned the bits of grain by following the reapers at harvest time, and the poles were set up around the yard on Christmas Eve. . --ONCE OVER : : . Reds to Free Tibet From Freedom By H. I. PHILLIPS ITS TIBET! The Commu- - nists are out to liberate the Himalayan peaks, no part of the world needing liberation less. The Hermit Kingdom must be freed from TRANQUILITY AND CONTENT-MENT! One of the few places left on earth so remote from present-da- y routines that it is free from care is to be RELEASED FROM AN UNTROUBLED EXISTENCE! Here are the heights, crest beyond crest, With Himalayan dews impearled; And I will watch from Everest The long heave of the surging world. Thus sang the poet. But Moscow wants each crest labeled. "Joe's Place," and the Himalayan Hills impearled with bayonets, ultima-tums and upside down talk. With secret police checking on anybody watching from Everest. The Kremlin is rehearsing "I'm sitting on top of the world" as its theme song. And it wants the Red choirs to have plenty of elevation. This is the Putsch Against Lost Horizons, the drive against the snowy peaks of beauty, peace, gen-tle philosophies and the desire to be left alone. Tht dialogue might well be: Joe. I'm going to liberate you. Dalai Lama. Liberate me! From what? Joe. From tranquility and amity. Dalai Lama. But Tibet has no desire to be liberated from these blessings. Joe. Quiet! I am about to give you all the things a satel-lite is entitled to . . . secret police, fixed trials, purges, twenty-fiv- e year plans and all that sort of thing. If you behave I may even teacb you double talk. Dalai Lama. But the people of Tibet are happy. Joe. Nonsense! Your mountain passes need military road blocks, your ranges must be zones, your snowy peaks need the Karl Marx touch. Your monasteries need the hammer and sickle. And you know how I feel about monks! Dalai Lama. But Tibet has both-ered nobody. It has remained aloof from all the conflicts so ruinous to the earth. It has won a reputation second to none for peaceful isola-tion. It is known as the Hermit Kingdom. Joe. Hermits are warmong-ers, agents of the ruling classes and links with the dirty im-perialists. Don't argue! I re-member that Hollywood film "Lost Horizon" with Ronald Coleman. The cost of these movies and travelogues on Tibet Is proof of control by moneyed interests. Dalai Lama. But I just read an-other speech before U. N. in which the Soviet delegates emphasized that Russia was the one country that did not interfere with other people's freedom! Joe. You mean the paper boy gets AWAY UP HERE, TOO! " 1 - f L MASQUERADE . . . This, gentle reader, is a Christmas cat. There is no apparent reason why this Persian mousehound should be garbed as Jolly old Saint Nick except that (now watch out) maybe It has Santa Claws. Island too Cold For the Eskimos Canadian Arctic Spot Is Merely Crossroads WASHINGTON It's even too cold for Eskimos on Cornwallis Island. This desolate spot in the Cana-dian arctic was for centuries no more than a crossroads for Eskimos migrating to and from Greenland and Alaska. The climate that moved the Es-kimos also preserved remnants of their civilization, however. Exca-vations this summer produced a wealth of information about pre-historic life in the northern climes. Three village sites were found that dated from the "Thule" Es-kimos, a prehistoric tribe which originated in Alaska and wandered through the arctic islands. With the excavations came some of the rich-est Thule deposits yet uncovered-fragm- ents of clothing, weapons, and food deposits. The survey, a joint project of the Smithsonian Institution and the National Museum of Canada, has reconstructed a comprehensive pic- ture of the Thule culture from these remains. Apparently a Thule would have been lost without the whale. With whale-bon- e he built his house and made his weapons. He ate the whale that his weapons killed. He also used stone and turf in constructing settlements. Antlers and ivory occasionally were weap-on material. In one Thule house the expedi-tion found an amulet, or Eskimo rabbit foot, made of small leather pouches strung on a tlrcular skin thong. v Christmas Tree Becomes Big Business in U.S. The Christmas tree has become big business in the United States. Throughout the country, some 15 to 16 million trees will be cut and shipped for the holiday demand. With prices ranging from $1 to $15 a tree, that adds up to real money. More and more farmers are dis-covering that they can get a cash crop from eroded acres by grow-ing Chriitmas trees. |
