By Josephine Lowmon

Today let us consider the head
and face, neck. shoulders, bust
and diaphragm. Check yourself
with the following. questions.
l. Do you brush your hair daily
and massage your scalp?
2. Do you cleanse your face and
neck at least twice daily (once be-
fore retiring). Do you use lubri-
eating cream and eye cream If you
need them. once day or at night? ?
You will need them If you have a
dry skin. If you have a normal
skin and are past early youth or
If you have little lines about your
eyes.
3. Have you studied the art of
makeup and hairstyling in order
to look most attractive? If you
have special skin or have COM
plexion troubles have you found
out what special treatment they
require and given this regularly?
4. Do you watch posture? This
has a great effect on your neck.
Poor posture can cause deep lines
on the neck, a Dowager's hump
and double chins.
S. Do you lubricate and care
for your neck as carefully as you
do your face?
s. Have you taken any facial or
neck exercises? These are help
full.
7. Do you have round shoul-
ders? If so special exercises can
help a lot.
8. Is your bust too large or too
fiat? If your bust is too large and
you are overweight a loss in
weight will probably take care
of the situation. If your bust is
too fiat special exercise can in
crease that measurement.

shoulders or over the diaphragm?
Exercise can take care Of this.
Is Check to see what you need.
Facial and neck exercises take
only about ten minutes, another
ten minutes is required for hair
brushing and scalp massage. Add
to that about twenty minutes for
exercises fitted to your figure
faults, and another twenty for
skin care and you have sixty
minutes day invested in beauty.
What dividends those sixty min
utes pay!

Cookie Book

1t may seem bit premature to
start talking about Christmas in
October but released today is q
cookie book that breathes the very
spirit of st. Nicholas. It's The
Christmas Cookie Book" by Vir-
ginia Paisley, published by Little,
Brown & Co. $2.75). From the
attractive jacket to the color
fully illustrated end papers and
on through the fascinating
pages of cookie recipes. it's a
ready made answer to your shop
ping worries.
1t is written by a newspaper gal
who is just as adept with a batch
of cookie dough as she is in beat
ing the deadline. 1t could even be
that you were one of the people
who clamored for her recipes
when she was in Washington dur
ing the war acting as correspond
ent for the New York News. She
has been baking cookies since she
was 10 years old when she served
as apprentice under the watchful
eye of her Grandmother Schmitz.
Many of her recipes have been
handed down through generations
when a woman's "Lebkuchen" was
a point of pride. She says that
once the art of making Christmas
cookies gets into your blood there
is no turning back. You are
cookie mad!
You'll like the introduction to
her chapters on how the Schmitz
family started the tradition Of
cookie giving and how it grew.
You'll like. too, the way she has
divided the types of cookies
Cookies That Keep" Cookies
That Keep a Little While" and
Cookies That Won't Keep" being
some of the chapter headings. It's
a thoroughly delightful book. One
you will want to keep, one you
will want to give to your friends.

Here's What They Are Trying To Do

Taft wants to scrap the Constitution
of Ohio so that he can sneak back into
office. He wants to change the rules that
we have had since 1891 -. 58 years.
Vote NO and tell Taft you don't be-
lieve in changing the Constitution OF Ohio
on the whim-or at the cunning design
of an individual. 1t is un-American. 1t
is politically indecent.
Today Ohio voters have the right to
vote straight ticket or vote for any par
ticular candidate they want. They can
vote for the party that they believe will
give them the best government, or they
can vote for the candidate they believe
best
They have free choice. They have
the right of decision.
Taft doesn't want you to have that
right. He's trying to take something away
from you.
The Taft gang wants to make you vote
for candidates separately.

Jobs For The Youth
BY Charles Ballard


The so-called leveling off
of n d u stry is resulting in
mass lay-offs of the younger
workers. A decent retirement
program, such as the Toledo
Plan which allows the aged to
retire and maintain a decent
standard of living would not
only open jobs but create new
ones because of the increased
purchasing power in the hands
of people who will have no
fear of spending for the in
come will always be maintain
ed and possibly increased.
When the youth of our
country can fight to protect
the American Way of Life
they certainly are entitled to a
chance to work and uphold it
but with our unbalanced econ
only of today they are denied
this chance,
The Toledo Plan is not the
final answer to all unemploy-
ment but il will put a good
percentage of our younger
people to gainful employment.

My Answer To The Toledo

Clearing House Association:
Every thinking person
knows that prosperity of labor
is the prosperity of the COM
community. Our labor leader
ship has proven this. Most of
us still remember March of
1932-when the money from
the pay envelopes of labor,
which supports business,
which makes bank deposits
and which makes the eco
nomic machine run--Without
any warning whatsoever to
the depositors, these same
banks closed their doors for
many m o n { h S and laboring
peoples life savings were
wiped out. People with money
In these banks couldn't even
pay their taxes which are so
vital to a community. Many
people in the community lost
more than soc of each dollar
that they saved through sweat
and sacrifice. Most of the
banks in the clearing house
association had to be reorgan-
lied and even today are oper-
ating under different names.
Yes, this effected labor and
surely needed public opinion
to be aroused. That was one
kind of a swindle. Is the To-
1edo Clearing House Associa-
tion thinking of foisting an
other swindle on the people
in this community today? Is
their villifying propaganda a
smoke screen to cover their
attempt to swindle working
people out of decent standard
of living and Pension Plan?

How Do You
Vote!
by Ruth Taylor

HAVE you registered to
IA vote?
Yes, l know it is not a ma
tional election year. But-the
quality of our government is
determined by all of its repre-
sentatives, not merely by those
at the top.
One of the favorite alibis of
the armchair general, or
cracker-barrel critic, is that
his information on candidates
isn't complete. But that is not
the case in a local election.
There is no reason why any
citizen cannot keep himself or
herself informed. And the citi-
zen who keeps his eye on local
politics is better prepared to
intelligently participate in
state and national elections.
What we need today is cour-
ageous leadership-but lead
ers do not spring full-groWn
into power. We, as voters,
can see to it that potential
leaders are recognized and
trained through the school of
local officers for higher ma
tional jobs.
What should be our yardstick
of selection? We must select
as our candidates only those
men or women whose ideals
are our ideals! who will not be
sWayed by pride of power, by
favoritism, by prejudices; who
will not put party loyalties a
head of the public interest;
who will not only have politi-
cal honesty and integrity, but
who are capable or recog1iz-
ing propaganda, from whatev-
er group it comes. Above all,
we must select as our candi-
dates those who will realize
that once elected, they are the
representatives of the whole
peoples, not of any one group
or clique.
We must select those who
will lead-not plead. The peo-
pie are reader to follow than
the leaders are to lead-be-
cause the people look ahead
and the leaders too often look
backwards to make certain
they are followed.
We must select those who
dare to act as the occasion de-
mands, who are cognizant of
the current situation, not for
ever dwelling on ancient plans
or future expediences. We
must select those who do not
do just what is customary, but
who fulfill their promises;
who appreciate tradition with
out being ,over-awed by it;
who follow the ideals rather
than the formulas of the
Founding Fathers.
We, the free voters of Amer
lea, have it in our power to
elect to local offices the ma
tional leaders of tomorrow.
We must pick them for their
ability and courage and then
command them to lead!
