Eggnog Shamboo BrightenS Hair
By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

How to obtain the brightening ef- fects on the hair of an egg shampoo without lathering an uncooked one let over your head is a feat cos- metic science helps you to put across
 A new, ready-prepared eggnog shampoo, containing the real in- gradients in concentrated form. makes the egg as easy for the hair to take as pleasant liquid soap.
 Two latherings of the stuff, rubbed into hair like suds and rinsed of with tepid water, will free hair of dulling film like a fairy-tale princess freed of her thrall.
 Women who use egg sfampoos as subtle bleaches will like this one also for the other ingredients it contains to make the hair stay put and give it extra shine.

MMIE FIDlER h HoHywood

Hollywood, Aug. 29-Dear Staff: Plumbing through book of ob- scure statistics the other eve, I ran across the surprising (to me. at least) fact that nose-rubbing is more widely used as gesture of af- fectionate greeting throughout the world than are hand-shaking and kissing combined.
 Riddles, that's news-considered in the light of Hollywoods current efforts to sell it's pictures in all for eign lands-suggests the possibility of startling revolution here in Film Vile, where artistry is the clinches is still the best of all possible roads to movie fame and fortune.
 When the international market is developed to include all of the nose rubblng countries, what chance is a guy like Van Johnson, equipped with an insignificant sunb of nose going to have in the race for great lover laurels against such competit- ors as Jimmy Durante or Bob Hope? What movie heroine, in her right mind, would want to be teamed up with him when w. c. Fields could be had Not to mention, of course, the great possibilities of Lassie!
 In one way, at least, the revolu- tion might serve the cause of social progress in our cinema city; it oc- CUTS to me that the schnozzle-reb- ping stars of tomorrow, understand ably anxious to preserve their TO- mantle assets, might be a little more loath than they are at present to stick their precious noses into other peoples business.
 Yours for remembering-when you start picking the stars of the future-that todays Horn of Plen- ty may we'll be the Cornucopia of tomorrow.

ADVICE for VETERANS
By K. F. SMITH Public Relations Director Waterbury Veterans' Advisory Center 1O5 Grove Street

shall be demanded or accepted by any such representative designated by the Secretary under the provi- sions described.
 In a plea to each Connecticut community, Henry L. Cutie. chief of the Veterans Administration vo- cational and education program in this state, pointed out that it Is getting more difficult to locate suit able opportunities to train disabled veterans.
 In his statement, MT. Guite said that at the present time Connecti- cut VA offices are placing 500 vet erans in training each week in both institutional and on-the-job train ing programs. This training includes all trades and professions sometimes supplemented by institutional train ing.
 Because of splendid cooperation gwen by newspapers, radio, manu- lecturers, civic organizations and State and City officials, Connecti- cut enjoys an outstanding record of placing veterans.
 However" Guite stated, there is now definite need for more op- portunities to train disabled vet erans. A list of opportunities for dis abled veterans under Public Law 16 will be available in each Veterans Administration office and local Ser vice Center.
 Concerns able to take on a dis abled trainee should contact the VA office or Service Center, and a VA training office will be sent out to talk over the matter with the pro- spective trainer If conditions are satisfactory to all concerned, the veteran is presented to the pros pective employer for a personal in- terview to determine if he meets the qualifications.
 Cutie emphasized that although the veterans are referred to as dis abled," each one has been carefully tested, screened, and certified by a medical coksultant as able to do the work required in the objective se- lected.
 In the Waterbury area there is one veteran looking for training as an accountant, 4 for automobile mechanic, for carpenter, for credit clerk, for dispatcher, 1 for electrical appliance serviceman, for furniture assembler, 2 for of- fee machine servicemen, for pur- chasing agent, for production con- troller, l for refrigerator mechanic, 2 for salesmen, for sign painter for time study man, for tool and dye naked, l for upholsterer and for watchmaker.

Veterans receiving compensation for the loss of one or both legs or the loss of the use of one or both legs will be entitled to an automo- bile or other vehicle up to a total cost of $500. Under VA regula. tions, the cost of the automobile will be paid directly to the seller, but the veteran can choose the car he wants.

STRAND

Before the days of speeding au- tomobiles, there was another high way peril-runaway horses. It took a near accident on the Captain Fury set to bring to the conscious ness of many of the younger mem bers of the Hal Roach Company that even in the horse and bnuggy days danger lurked on the roads.
 Kingpin the black charger rid den by Brian Aherne in this pie ture, which is laid on the 1340's during the colonization of Austra- lia, was tied to a prop" tree prep
 tory to shooting the scene The tree was a sapling, not more then ten feet tall Kingpin became rest less and knocked it over.
 Frightened by the strange object which trailed him about, the horse, bolting and bucking, ran straight into the crowd assembled in front of one of the settlers" cottages. threatening the lives of June Lang. Field and other principals. as well as Producer-Director Roach. William c. deMille, the dialogue director. and scores of extras. va -neramen, property men and cleo tricians.
 Miss Lang. directly in the path of the horse. was seated in chair with her makeup kit in her lap. Knowing that flight was futile. she ducked her head while the horse charged by. one of his hoofs mis- sing her head by only a few inches.
 The only casualty reported was that, ironicaly enough, of a chauf- feur. who in attempting to catch the horse, cut his leg on a barbed wire fence.
 Captain Fury" now at the Strand Theater, was personally directed by Roach. The cast which supports Aherne and Miss Lang is headed by Victor McLaglen, John Carradine and George Zucco.
 Presented on this same bill as a companion feature is Captain Cau- tion, another re-release and star ring Victor Mature, Leo Carrillo and Bruce Cabot.

CHOICE MORSEL It Says Here
By BOB HOPE
MAN SHORTAGE

Statistics show that the man
 shortage, from matrimonial viewpoint, is critical and growing worse with surplus of six mill lion eligible women on the loose -. And to add to the confusion, Hollywood is reviving Little Wo- men,"
 There's bumper crop of "to- matoes" this year, so if you're happily married, keep an eye on the old man it looks as if there'd be battle of the sexes, with no holds barred :. Just to- day saw an ad in the paper that read: Attractive girl looking for a man with future, object-half Nelson"
 We've got the old eternal trian- gle back with us, but this time "the other woman" is cutting corners. I won't say the girls are anxious but when you call on one now =. she meets you at the win dow with a small trunk and a stepladder! No kidding, they have really become flirtatious . In fact, they are now putting yo- yo strings on women's handker- chiefs. One girl I know was so intent upon getting her man, she joined the Northwest Mounted Police. And the boys are really getting independent In fact. if it weren't for this nose of mine, l never Would've been hooked.
 I'd like to give you girls a little advice, though. The way to mans heart is through his stom- ach -. And I've got the heart burn to prove it. Give him a good homecooked meal and you can't miss -. Of course, a few knock out drops for dessert won't hurt.
 But I think the girls are wor- rylng needlessly. There's not really man shortage .. if you look behind Lana Turner, you'll find those missing guys.

Facts For Veterans
PENSION FOR DISABILITY

When Joseph H. was inducted,
 his foot condition was noted on
 his record as fiat feet-frst de-
 gree During his basic training
 the condition became worse. and
 he was admitted to the station
 hospital for treatment In the
 hospital, his condition was des-
 cribed as fiat feet, third degree,
 symptomatic," and he was given
 a discharge from service. Since
 his discharge, Joseph has been
 unable to work at any job that
 required him to be on his feet
 But because his condition had
 existed prior to being inducted into the Army. he thought he was not entitled to pension. Friends
 advised him to see the Home
 Service worker in his local Red
 Cross chapter for further infor- nation
 Because service connected pen sions are paid for disabilities in- cured or aggravated in military service Joseph is advised to file a claim immediately. Although he had flat feet before he was inducted, the drills and hikes during basic train ing may have resulted in increased disability through aggravation of a previous condition.
 In arriving at the amount of pension to be paid for a service aggravated disability, the Veterans Administration determine the diff ference in the degree of disability recorded at induction and the de- gree found when the veteran is examined for his claim. The differ ence in disability determines the amount of pension to be awarded. the degree of disability at induction is less than 10 percent, however, the veteran is entitled to pension on the basis of his present condition.
 Should Joseph select the Red Cross to represent him. local chap ter workers will assist him in mak- ing application for pension and
