On the Air
Helen HoIpin's New Comedy
Gets q Trial Run On NBC-W
By Harry Macarthur

Helen Halpin, a young come.
dienne of some promise, was or
the television the other night
bearing a close resemblance to q
young Coincidence in search Of
an author. She was presented by
NBC-TV in sort of showcase,
once-only performance of loops,
It's Daisy" another situation
comedy on film, naturally.
The network hopes this will be
another situation comedy SERIES
desire in which Miss Halpin
undoubtedly concurs. To this end
it has invited viewers TO let il
know how they feel about this
Shall NBC-TV continue loops
It's Daisy" or shall it say loops,
sorry" and go on to other pur-
suits?
This is certainly a novel de-
parture, to say the very least
(Which is seldom what we say
around here. Usually the eager
ness of some sponsor to foot the
bills is the major factor in get
ting a TV series on the air. Ask
ing viewers what they would like
to see is revolutionary. It is
somewhat like asking the voters
how they would like their taxes
spent.
Whether there is a crying need
for another situation comedy Sc
ries on television is debatable,
but not very. The suspicion is
strong, however, that NBC will
discover sufficient favorable re-
action to interest sponsor. The
same old major factor, the spon-
sor footing the bills, will then
find spot for loops, It's Daisy"
Well, worse things probably
could happen to TV, though it is
not easy to think of any off
hand. Yes it is, too. Martin and
Lewis could get an hour a night
on all four networks. Or Jimmy
Durante could retire. Or Goth
Century-Fox could sell all those
George JeSsel musicals to TV. 1t
is just not easy to think of very
many worse things.
I There really may be nothing
wrong with loops, It's Daisy
:. that some imaginative comedy
writing and a firm and expert
enced hand on Miss Halpin's
reins wouldn't cure. A mugging-
type Coincidence, she is a sort
of cross between Lucille Ball and
Martha Raye who doesn't yet
know quite how far a girl should
go in pursuit of a laugh. A know
ing director could take care of
that.
The episode in Daisy's life
tried out on the viewers was
rather drearily laden with hack
neyed Hollywood-style slapstick
The writer's, of course, can reply
here, whats hackneyed about
having a dog as a narrator? How
many other television programs
have a dog as narrator?" They'll
be right, too.

They may, however. find that
this device does not have the
mileage they expected. It could
wear down to coyness in a hurry

become a big television star, it
will have to supply her with more

Can |?

Q. How can / make it easier to
take nasty-tasting medicines?
A. If you hold an ice cube on
your tongue for minute or two
before taking the medicine, the ice
will partially desensitize your taste
buds.
Q. How can 1 keep cut flowers
longer?
A. They will keep longer if the
leaves below the water are re-
moved, because decaying vegetable
matter poisons the water.
@. How can prevent baked ap-
pies from bursting while cooking?
A. They will not burst if the
skin around the top of the apples
is prickled with a fork, or if ring
is cut around the centerr.
Q. How can 1 remove indelible
pencil marks from fabrics?
A. These can often be removed
by dipping the cloth in alcohol, then
washing the article in soap and
water.
@. How can 1 prevent starch
from putting a whitish cast on
black and dark cOlored clothes?
A. Try putting small amount
of leftover coffee into the starch.

Now, of course, Roses mother

love Rose very much and that she
would do anything in the world
for her, and you mention that she
works very hard to give Rose ev-

she has set high standards Of per-

After you have looked at the
problem from the point of view of
the child, perhaps you can persuade
the mother that in working outside
The home simply to "give Rose eva

Rse something more precious to a
child than anything else-herself.
A child needs her mother to under

she is.
If you can get Roses mother to
give up her job and actually bene-
fit Rose, you will be performing a

mother should be the one to give

The
Family
RoundtobIe
BY ELGIVE A. BALL

NEW YORK, (GlobaD. - Dear
Miss Ball: l am concerned about
my little neice, 10year-old girl
whom I shall call Rose. She is an
only child who has been given ev-
erything' that would make her
happy. Yet, in school, she steals
things constantly. She has repu-
tation for being the worst child in
the class; although she has great
deal of ability. she refuses to learn.
Roses mother works hard on her
job to give Rose everything.
Around her parents, Rose is a
perfect angel, but in school her
teachers suffer and her mother is
often called to school to discuss her
behavior. Roses mother is very
much disturbed about her and feels
she certainly should do better in
her school work. She has often
told Rose of the family's efforts in
her behalf and tried to make her
see how she could and should do
in school,. They ar every desirious
that Rose shall have a professional
career, and they expect her to
bring home top grades.
What is to be done about chill
dren who don't seem to appreciate
the opportunities they have? What
would be your advice concerning
this child who has ability but re-
fuses to use her God-given talents p
Roses mother and l are eager for
our reply.
MRS. L. P,
Dear Mrs. l.. P:
You do have problem, but it
isn't Rose. The problem is with her
parents. This may, seem harsh, so
let me explain:
Parents often dream dreams for
their children and long for them

only natural, and it is every par
ent's birthright. However, it is
most unfair to subject a little child
to constant pressure over her
school work and to set goals for
her that are much too high.
Consider the problem from Roses
point of view. 1t would probably
be safe guess that Rose wants
only to be loved and accepted as
she is. She might want only to
romp and play with her mother and
enjoy some simple pleasure, rather
than be dressed up like a doll and
taken out to be shown Off. Chill
dren place little value on material
things. Expensive toys, clothes and
entertainment are often taken
lightly by children if they are de-

Sophomore year, but he has some
good equipment. Although lot of
people said Joe didn't have a good
fast ball, a machine called the Du-

pithces at a speed of 93.2 miles per
hour. Some of his other team
mates tried the gadget, and Pod
res pitch registers 88.5 miles per
hour, and Bob Milliken's, 83.5. The
machine showed, too, that Black
has control because the pitches
registered had to be in the strike
zone or they wouldn't show on the
machine.

Monte Irwin plagued with injuries,

Gene says it's the toughest any

must have caught at least 20 balls
out there without even seeing

weird shadows and there are just
some balls that can't be seen. In
addition, Gene claims that when
people smoke at the ball game, the
smoke rises, making haze into

be followed. If it's caught, many
times it's just luck. He says fur

a crossroads in our foreign eco
nomic policy. Shall we insist
that trade must take the place
of our international aid pro-
grams? And, if so, can we
change our tariff investment
policies enough to stimulate such
a life-giving flow of goods
throughout the world? Or must
we continue Point Four and
other programs to boost the in
ternational export growth of
war-damaged and less developed
lands?"

WhyGrow
Old?
BY Josephine Lowmon

Spring hair styles have a short
and happy ending!" Yes, it's a
very short story. Here comes the
spring forecast from the lips of
one of Americas top stylistS
Mr.. D. J. Brown of the D. J.
Brown House of Beauty at 8 East
Fifty-siXth street in New York
City. says, American styles for
American women mean slim lines.
The spring silhouette demands a
slim coiffure, without fanfare. BY
that I mean no tight permanent
waves, no tight puffs. The sides
cling to the face or are lifted, de-
pending ON the contour of the
face. AS to the back hairline. it
should be flat and sleek and with
out wave"
This hair stylist tells us that
there will be bangs this spring
due largely to the influence of the
United States first lady. These
will not all be regular severe
bangs. Forehead hairlines can be
as varied as the contour of q
woman's face.
Mr.. Brown said, IT have per-
fected Fern Cut and introduced
ChrySanthemum Bang and
many others The Fern Cut has
semicircular curls open wide and
caressing the forehead in a casual
fashion. This is newer version
of the windblown style. The
Chrysanthemum cut is a fluff
bang. soft and lacy"
The general idea is that bangs
are bangs and that they are not
becoming to many women. This
is true if you think of the old
fashioned bang but today these
can add height if you need it or
shorten the face. depending on
your own individual facial con-
tour.
Many women DO not live IN q
community where an expert hair
stylist is available, yet might wish
to do a bit of experimenting on
their own, with the aid of a
beauty operator. Why Grow Old?
Is convinced that too many
women wear the same old hairdo
for too long. Often it is not even
the most flattering one for them.
Remember a few rules and CO.
ordinate these with the current
styles. There is always a happy
compromise between fashion and
individuality.
If your face is round or wide
you should have height at the
top of your head with the hair
close at the sides.
If your face is long and thin
wear your hair fat on top and
fluffed out at the sides. Bangs
can cut the length too.
A center part makes the face
look wider while a slanted side
part is more slimming.
