The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-12-28

Private Wararen w. Lewis, third defense battalion, U. s. Marine corps, Is spending Q short furlough at his home in Pootatuck. Private Lewis Is stationed at Hilton Head, South Carolina, with Q battery of 5-inch anti-aircraft rifles. Trained at Paris Island, qualified as pis- tolman first class, this South Brit tain lad now handles powder for one of our coast defense outfits and awaits assignment to faraway Pearl Harbor, the Canal Zone, or a China station. Marines get around and see the world. Hilton Head is at the edge of the wild coastal plain in South Carolina, where wild turkeys call from the
 cane-brake, and wild boars raid the mess-shacks. About a year ago Mrs. 1veagh II, s. Lewis CO., authored the all-time saga of Con- nectiout, "They Found e Way" Private Warren Lewis her son, has now found his way in the elite fighting corps of Uncle sam's armed forces. This South Britain marine will report back to his sta- ton in early January, to again scan the sky for hostile wings and to traverse Q gun that speaks with genuine authority.

Every SO often, local youngsters get the hunting fever and start out after fur or feathers. Ernie Beardsley and Myron Pierce felt the call of tho wild the other eve- ming and, armed with clubs and e lantern, made c sortie in Skunk Hollow. Two glaring balls of green fire ahead The boys charged. A tubby possum heard the batter of running feet, tucked his chin in, rolled Into . ball and played dead, but he didn't fool our Nimrods. Myron swung the club while Ernie held the light. The posSum yolped and swooned. Back home, the boys put their catch on the kitchen floor and debated on whether to save just the pelt or prepare c roast as well, The poSsum regalned con- sciousness and made dash for the door, but they killed him again, and yanked of the pelt while it was still warm.

ReducingDiet
Should Not
Be a Fad
Eat Intelligently
To Keep Figure
Slim and Fit
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.
Girls attention.!

Girls attention.!
Strenuous diets are out-definitely
out-dead as the dodo-and Holly
woods glamour girls today follow
intelligent rules of eating, in order
to keep slim and flt at the same
time.
Evelyn Keyes says: Eat a salad
for dinner and you will not have to
worry about the other meals 1t may
be vegetable salad or one of fruit
doesn't matter which-and you do
not have to be too pernickity about
the dressing either. But be sure you
limit yourself to a salad unaccom-
panied by proteins or starches."
Taking a salad meal at night is
smart because approximately $50
calories are burned during a IL
hour sleep and no more than that
are in a salad. And another sound
reason is this: when one is over tired
from the days work the digestive
system doesn't function as it should.
The stomach gets weary as the body
does. Cram it full when it is tired
and you will have a troubled sleep
as we'll as too many calories which
still turn into fat while you rest!
Shirley Ross offers her reducing
diet but urges you to check with your
doctor before trying it:
l. The following must be eaten
daily to maintain muscle strength
and repair:
small piece of lean meat.
inch cube of cream cheese.
l egg.
2. Eat as much as desired of the
following:
artichokes cabbage
celery cucumbers
greens leeks
lettuce parsley
spinach radishes
asparagus broccoli
chard endive
kale okra
onions peppers
sprouts. watercreSs
;. Only three heaping tablespoons
Of any one Of the following daily, or
one tablespoon of each of three va
rieties:
tomatoes mushrooms
string beans parsnips
pumpkin carrots
watermelon rhubarb
cauliflower lemon
rutabagas egg plant
beets cantaloupe
4. One order of the following for
variety:
strained vegetable soup, broth,
consomme, bouillon
5. Partake sparingly of the follow
ing:
salt, catsup. pickles mot
sweet, Kaffee Hag, Pos
tum, cereal coffee, coffee
tno sugar or cream
Miss Ross says not to eat any
| thing that is not mentioned above,
but your beauty editor would sug-
gest that you eat some sun ripened
fruit for its sugar content and other
vitamin value If you feel hungry.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I am doing over a room in the
attic of our house for my 12-year-
old son. 1t is to be a surprise when
he returns from vacation. 1t can
not be too expensive. but as it will
be a birthday present l can afford
few items. 1t is on the north side
OF the house, about 2 by IA feet,
with two large windows. Any sug-
geStions you might be able to give
me as to color scheme and decora-
tlon will be greatly appreciated.
MRS. K. -. G..
Answer
1 have favorite type of room
for the boy of that age and it
always meets with such whole
hearted approval that l cannot help
passing on the idea to you In a
north room, paper the walls in a
soft sunshine yellow paper and paste
on maps of the hemisphere or the
continents. Use large map for the
larger spaces and set in smaller ones
at each side of it SO that you get
the effect of muralS. Some maps
have delightful decorative addi-
tions-cut out these to be pasted on
with yours. Give your son a studio
couch for bed and a good sized
work table or desk that is a COM
Portable height and I guarantee he
will be delighted on his birthday.
Rich. brick red and soft slate blue
with your pale yellow make a robust
color scheme-and the only other
requisite is that the couch cover.
upholstery and draperies should be
good in color, but simple in design
and washable, and of material that
can stand rough usage.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
We have some Louis XVI furni-
ture which is very nice and we
are planning to use it in our living
room. What kind of English Geor-
gian furniture do you think would be
the best TO use with it? MRS. G. FIR.
Answer
1t is fairly sound policy when
combining the STYLES from different
countries to remember that if they
were created at the same time they
are likely to go we'll together.
Fashion is international and there
is common bond which transcends
nationality. For this reason I would
suggest Sheraton and Hepplewhite
designs since their inspiration was
the same as those of the Louis XVI:
i. e.. an archaeological interest in
classical art.

Dorothy Dix Says
Parents Often Sacrifice Too Much
To Send Children to Colleae

than by sending children away from
home to school. There is no doubt
that in the great majority OF cases
it is fine thing for the youngsters
because it teaches them self-con-
fidence and how to look out for
themselves. That is about the most
valuable lesson that any of us can
learn.
But while it is desirable to send
children away from home to school
II parents can afford it, it is a tragic
thing for them to do so when the
price OF the college education of
some unintellectual girl or boy is the
impoverishment of the whole family.
Often. indeed. parents sacrifice
their lives to send the children to
college. because they do without
the operation or the medical atten-
ton that would have saved them, to
pay for Juniors fraternity dues and
Mamie's sport clothes. They do this
not for children who are geniuses,
or who are students who have a
thirst for knowledge, but for boys
and girls who will never drink of
the fountain of knowledge, no matter
how often they are led to it.
The moral of all of which is: Con-
slider your pocketbook and your
children's mental ability before you
decide whether to send them away
from home to school Not all educa-
ton comes put up in school books,
and there are many children who
have the kind Of intelligence that
makes for success in the world who
are not college material.

one one side only except when they
are all at home. There should be
room for serving, so that you will
not be inconvenienced. Then bal
ance this arrangement on the other
side of the room with an important
group, such as a large buffet with
mirror above. and chairs at either
side. If your dining room is very
large you might use the large table
in the center and have small table
in the alcove on which four could
be comfortably served for breakfast
or luncheon.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
The machinery in my wood work
ing shop in the basement constantly
blows out fuses in the whole house.
l do not mind putting in new fuses
occasionally, but I usually forget to
start the electric clock, which makes
great family disturbance. What
should be done about this?
K. T. r.
Answer
You may install circuit breaker
where the line enters your work
shop so that only that section OF
the line will be interrupted when
overloaded. What you really need
is separate heavy duty wire to
adequately handle the load from
your machinery, entirely separate
from the house.

Winter Styles
Are Shown.
In the early part of this month,
however, the powers that be in the
fur world held a preview of the
styles for this coming winter. We
know it seems terribly early to even
suggest winter coats, but this is the
time when you really see the styles
that are to be. They may change
before any of us start seriously
thinking about buying, but we do
believe that this chance to glimpse
fur fashions at preview can give
as an interesting picture for winter.
And we'd rather oh! and ah! at eX-

Most important feature of the
show was the indication that hips
have returned. The new models
nipped in at the waist and made in
princess lines have very full skirts
that give rounded look to the hip
line. Pelts are even worked hori-
zontally to accentuate this rounded
appearance in some of the coats.
The princess line seems likely to be
the favorite. but some coats with
full backs and boxy Silhouettes were
shown. Many of them revealed
or inches of the dress and a few
were thigh length.
Very small collars seem to be fea-
lures of all the latest models, and
shoulders, still very wide, were

mer ermine and fisher-dyed fitch. so
it's not surprising to find that
brown was the foremost color in
these winter coats. too. Safari seal
skin, fisher, marten, beaver and
mink were considered of most i'm
portance, followed by the blacks in
Persian lamb, caracul and broadtail
and finally the grays in kidskin and
squirrel. We may also look forward
to new processing developments and
interesting cOlorS. The New York
show featured beaver which has
been sheared and treated like mink,
as we'll as raccoon which has been
softly treated to blue fox tint and
worked like mink into fitted after
noon coats. Other clever deceptions
include fox dyed to glowing rust

dyed like sable and rabbit done SO
that it passes for its social cousin
the chinchilla. Other unusual ideas
included evening wraps with ex-

A mother asks if I will discuss
some of the advantages and dis
advantages of sending children away
from home to school. Well, con-
sidering that in virtually every COM
munity there are institutions of
learning fully equipped to offer
adolescent girls and boys more
education than they will take, I
think the principal advantage in
sending children off TO school is that
it makes for peace and quiet in the
home. and gives their poor, nerve
racked parents chance to recover
from the strain that constant living
with Mamie and Junior put upon
them.
Also. it gives the children the op-
pOrtunity to get perspective on
their parents and see in them some
thing besides spoilsports whose sole
vocabulary consists of the word
don't" Thus it bridges over those
perilous years in which Mamie and
Junior consider themselves the
oldest, wisest and most sophisticated
people in the world. while their
mother and father still regard them
as babes in rompers, and SO elimi-
mates the inevitable friction that
these two opposite points of view
bring about.
Also, this separation is good for
the parents who gradually get &C
customed to the idea that Mamie
and Junior are no longer infants in
arms, but capable young people who
have learned to stand on their own
feet and have right not to eat
spinach if they don't like it.

L women singing the praises of
thrilling new reducing method. A
method which DR.. Damrau of New
York demonstrated in tests among
group of intelligent and cooperative
people who followed directions implic-
lily, was responsible for an average
loss in weight of Z pounds per month.
Most amazing, this method does
NOT call for special diet lists. You
never suffer q hungry moment. Nor
is it necessary for you to take stren-
uous exercises, or drugs.
All you have to do is eat sensibly,
which means that you avoid over
eating, and drink Il of a glass of
Welch's Grape Juice, mixed with II
of a glass of water, before meals and
at bedtime. Thus reducing the ca
loric intake considerably.
How This Pleasant Way
Takes or Excess Fat!
Nothing could be easier, or more
pleasant. Yet!-this is what hap
pens. First, this delicious drink salts
fies your craving for rich, sweet
foods. You have less desire to over
eat fattening foods-but you do feel
comfortably full. Second, the grape
sugar in Welch's is quickly con-
sumed, and by this process helps
nature to consume excess fat.
Thus weight is lost naturally and
safely. And this remarkable method
is just as beneficial and effective for
overweight men, as it is for over
weight women.
