and the first steps to put the plan
into operation will be taken, Mrs.
Dewey stated.
1t has been estimated 1000 new
workers may be needed in the city
before the year is over, and the
special drive will be undertaken to
encourage housewives, elderly per
sons, and the physically handicap
ped, who are not now working, to
take jobs and aid war production.
Continued demands for additional
workers and lack of applicants led
to organization of a special CAM
paign. Extensive publicity will be
given to local needs during the per-
iod of the drive.

Self-acceptance with the accom-
panying substitution of positive
for a negative attitude, is often des-
perately difficult. To achieve 1t a
man needs alike all the practical
good sense he can muster and all
the spiritual resources he can bring
to his help.
Many people are Inundated by
situations that need not be hui
Mutations at all. To be lame, to
be blind, to nave what ko-ko
called "a caricature OF face" TO
lack desired ability, to be economi-
cally restricted-such things are
limitations, but if they become
humiliations it is because inwardly
we make them SO.
Even Napoleon had to accept
himself - five feet two and one
fourth inches tall, and 43d in his
class at the Ecole Militaire. He
never liked himself that way. Con-
sidering his imperial ambitions, his
diminutive stature was a limlta-
ton, but had he made of it and
of his scholastic mediocrity hui
initiation, he probably never would
have been Napoleon.
Life is a landscaping job. We
are handed a site, ample or small
rugged or flat, picturesque or
commonplace, whose general out
lines and contours are largely de-
termined for us. Both limitation
and opportunity are involved in
every site, and the most unfore-
seeable results ensue from the
handling - some grand opportuni-
ties are muffed, and some utterly
unpromising situations become
notable.
The basic elements in any per-
sonal site are bound to appear in
the end no matter what is done
with them, as a landscape still
reveals its size and its major
shapes and contours, whatever the
landscape architect may do. These
basic elements, however, are to
be accepted, never as humiliations,
commonly as limitations, but most
of all as opportunities and even
as incentives.
New York rejoices in Central
Park, but the outcropping rock
Lodges, there originally, are there
still. The landscape architects
made a park not so much despite
them as by means of them. AS
Walther Rathenau puts it, "A man
must be strong enough to mold
the regularity of his imperfections
into the perfection of his pecu-
harities.''
To be neurotic, for example, is
a limitation. Yet, in a sense, the
neurotics make the world go
round. Especially is this true in
all creative realms. Beethoven
had dreadful time not simply
with his deafness, as in Familiarity
advertised, but with his stormy,
neurotic temperament, SO that
once, seeing sleeping coachman
comfortably snoring, he exclaimed,
II wish I were as stupid as that
fellow" The symphonies and con-
certos, however, came from no
sleeping coachman.
This problem continually con-
fronts us. Physical lacks, tenn

adequacies, social inferiorities,

Beauties Hints
Care For Scarce
= Powder PuffS,
Mascara Brushes
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

Perhaps you have already discov-
cred that good quality powder puffs
and mascara brushes are becoming
scarce.
The reasons are simple. Cotton
yarn, which once went into the
puffs, is needed for Army and Navy
equipment. And the supply Of
bristles, which were imported for
the most part, has dwindled con-
siderably.
So, if you have a few good velour
or lambs wool puffs, take care OF
them, for they may have to last
longer than you planned. Don't let
them get too dirty. Make a habit
of rinsing them out after several
days of use. Not only will this prac-
tice add to their longevity, but
you'll fiid that powder applied with
clean puff will go on smoother
and stick longer.
To keep the bristles of your mas
cara brush intact requires nothing
more than a thorough rinsing and
drying of the brush each time you
use it. If mascara is permitted to
dry in the brush day after day, it
will weaken the bristles and cause
them to break. Besides, mascara
applied with a fresh brush looks
ever so much more natural.

elements enter into every life.
They are in themselves natural
impediments, and the healthy, OBJ
jective attitude toward them is ex-
pressed in Samuel Gridley Howe's
motto, carved in the Massachusetts
School for the Blind, obstacles
are things to be overcome"
We, however, can so morbidly
brood over them that what began
as an obstacle partly limitation,
partly opportunity, and partly in
centive can become a sheer hu-
initiation that leaves use coWed and
mortified. That result is OUR own
doing.
One man had curly hair of an
unusual shade of red At the age
of S, children gathered round him
and laughed at him, and a relative
once called him funny little fell
low" Obsessed by by the idea
that his hair made him queer, he
fell from one humiliating mood
into another, and became an
abashed, distrustful, inhibited per-
sonality who failed in business
and social relationships.
Some situations, especially those
involving moral failure and guilt,
are humiliating, but the human
problem would be intellectually
simplified if people would cease
creating personal abasement out
of clean handicaps and natural
limitations, which call not for
modification but for good land
scaping. The same kind of situa-
ton thaht one man CONSTITUTES in
terms of chagrin and shame an
other accepts as his portion and
makes rememberable. AS Emer-

There's no place like home, these
gas-rationed days, so gadgets and
gimmicks, trays and tables. or. Stal,
silver, bath ensembles and almost
anything you can Elme to make
home more attractive and enter
tanning easier are featured for
Christmas giving. They solve the
problem, too, of what TO buy those
who seem to have just about every
thing.
Any hostess, for instance, would
be delighted to find under her tree
a folding buffet cart or standing
buffers tray to simplify serving, es-
pecially if it is the type which can
be tucked compactly away in the
closet when not in use.
And there's always room on her
what-not shelf for just one more
piece OF flower porcelain, ceramic
animal or rare china demitasse
cup and saucer. Two budget-priced
gifts to delight every woman are
the white pottery rooster tidbit jar,
and the basket weave bon bon dish
with contrasting rope trim, which
one shop is displaying.
Those who collect conversation
pieces" will certainly be delighted
with the Farmers Arms" English
glazed earthenware plates, and
jumbo size cup and saucer decorat-
ed with plough, scythe, rake, shears
and other work implements and
printed with the verse God Speed
the Plough" They may be bought
singly or in sets.
Bath ensembles of matched towels
face cloths, Wastebasket and hamp-
err trimmed with huge cabbage roses
or monogrammed, make impressive
gifts, and will give modern look to
the most old-fashioned bathroom.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-12-08

Dressing table and bath shelf sets
of colored glass or decorated china
jars for cotton. lotion and powder
are also a good bet for Christmas.
And if you are still looking for
one more gift, consider choosing
from these: An odd wastebaSket
such as the one made from an an
tiQue leather hat box; baroque
vanity mirror; crystal candelabra:
an old-fashioned pepper mill: an
electrical air puffer which clears
room of smoke and cooking odors
in short order; a carving set; or
nest of hand painted coasters.
