Teen-agers write asking
many questions about skin
blemishes. They want to know
why it is that they are
plagued with blackheads and
acne so much more often
than younger and older folks.
1t is true that most adoles-
cents have some trouble with
tn cir compilations during
these years. This is due to the
fact that the little oil glands
are more active at this time.
The pores become plugged
with an excess of oil, and
blackheads result.
Unfortunately, most teen
ayers pick and squeeze the
blackheads, thus causing in
flammation and spreading in
fection. Pimples result. Then
the young people usually
start to work on the pimples.
A hands-off policy may save
you much trouble later on.
If blackheads are to be re-
moved or pimples drained, let
an expert do it.
Cleanliness is of the utmost
Importance. Don't pick at
these facial defects. During
these susceptible years wash
your face with soap and wa
ter several times a day. This
will help avoid blackheads.
Any real case of acne should
be treated by a dermatologist.
Most cases can be controlled
and cured today, but early
treatment is important.
Easy on Sweets
Many physicians ask their
acne patients to cut down on
the carbohydrates (sweets
and starches) and also to go
slow on the fat foods. They

Try a Smart New Trend
Display Small Paintings in Movable Frame

One of the smartest new
trends in home decorating is
the display of small paint
ings and prints in a move
able frame on table or chest
tops.
It's really a fashionable
revival of an old idea, re-
vamped to conform with to-
days decor standards.
Instead of displaying min
iatures on the wall, where
they are often swallowed up
by a setting of other objects
and paintings, interior de-
signers are more and more
bringing them down to table
chest tops and bookshelves.
These beauties in mini
ature" are currently peing
used in many forms--paint-
ings. prints, photographs.
pieces of treasured jewelry
and embroidery. All are
elaborately framed to gain
new stature in the decor of a
room.
The easel on which the
miniature" stands, can be
purchased at most art shops.
Another innovation for
holding the object is the use
of a plate stand, readily
available in most stores.
In place Of an oil paint
ing. try a piece of old en-
broidery or a bit of wedding
lace framed with a silk mat
and a delicate gold leaf
frame. Or use a black or red
velvet mat to spotlight the
object.
Decorators are mixing and
matching the table top
pictures, using in some in
stances, several framed
prints on a large table and
one or two in a smaller area.
They're even more effec-
tive when placed near a
lamp, where the soft light
provides a provocative focal
point.

HOLLYWOOD.-Polly Ber-
gen manages three careers:
Domestic, theatrical and bus
iness. She has a happy home
life. is very much in demand
as an actress and singer and
has her Polly Bergen Dresses.
Whats the secret?" I
asked Polly the other day
at lunch.
Discipline and organiza-
tion." she explained. You
have to have a plan and
stick to it. If you don't like
doing something. it helps to
keep your goal in mind. I
don't like getting up in the
morning and going on the
floor to do exercises, but
there is no substitute. If I
want to keep certain places
firm, I know that I have to
use those muscles a little
every day. This does much
more good than a big exer-
else deal once in a while"
There are four places that
Polly always works on and
more if she has time. Her
favorite exercise for a flat
stomach is to stand up
straight, bend over to touch
her toes and then pulling
slowly as she comes up.
II watch people," Polly con-
fided, "and notice how many
of them show their age in
three danger spots, a hump
in back of the neck, a
double chin and a flabby
stomach.
II lie on the floor on my
back, bring my feet back
over my head until they
touch the floor. This gives
the vertabrae in my neck
a good pull. If you do this
only once or twice a day.
you'll bring up enough circu-
lation to keep that widows
hump away.
"A double chin will age
even a teen-ager," Polly de-
clared. I'VE have so little
opportunity to use those un-
der-chin muscles. Keeping my
back straight. I like to let
my head fall to my chest
and then rotate it slowly in
one direction and then the
other. I look at the ceiling
and with my head in this
position I pretend I am chew
ing something very hard.
IF you want to do these
exercises regularly, tie them
in with an established habit
like brushing your teeth or
having breakfast.
Posture is so important" !"
Polly continued. There is a
correct and incorrect way to
stand. When you keep your
body balanced you look
better in your clothes and
you are not as tired. When
I do things around the house.
I always try to make an
exercise out of them. Stop
and be aware if you are
giving your muscles a good
pull when you reach for

something high. Lift a 30
pound baby the same way
you would a bar bell. But,
Polly added, II do not care
for the kind of gym work
that builds uscles. A
woman wants her body to
be supple and firm but never
muscular"
Polly talked about her
dress business. When she was
doing a lot of TV and had
to wear her own clothes on
camera and discovered that
it was difficult to get a we'll
made dress at an economical
price, she decided to go into
the dress business herself.
Most of the fabrics were
awful and didn't hold their
shape" she revealed, "and
so decided to do something
about this. 1 was very care
full about the selection of
fabrics and finishings for my
dress line. When I bought
my clothes, I usually had to
change buttons and belts, but
with my clothes I try to give
them quality detail. and I
call them my no-price-tag
dresses.
Il think the most common
mistake women make is not
to balance a wardrobe. They
see something adorable and
buy it without a plan. Maybe
they don't need it or it
doesn't go with the access
sories they already have.
TRY to be individual"
Polly urged. If something
is new. ask yourself if you
are going to see it every
where. I know so many
women who look awful in
a hairstyle. but they will
wear it because it's tn e
fashion.
If you don't have con-
fidence in your taste. you
can acquire it.

CLOSER TO DELEGATE IN CONGRESS

oLoOEh ~ Il IN ooNoLSLAOO
THE TINE is upon us. Before the next two or three
wears these Islands Will have an elected representative in the
Congress. Just what form this will take is veto be determined
Perhaps the representative will be one without the power to
vote in the House, Perhaps this representative wilhave limit
ed powers. But whatever the situation, a representative in
Congress is a certainty
AS ORL EVENTS are now heading, with the great
surge towards greater freedom and self-determinaton it fol
lows that any group OF people under the American flag should
have the greatest possible degree OF democratic freedom and
action. A seat in the House of Representatives is therefore
the answer.
SECRETARY DALI Of the Interior gave fisthand de-
: monstration Of the new frontier program with which the
Kennedy administration Identifies itself, He was clear, forth
right, definite, and certain Of what he wanted to say, and
SAID it. He did not hedge, or squirm. So far as the Depart
ment of the interior is concerned, it would take a stand, and
do so promptly.
EVERYONE KNOWS that no program pertaining to
the Territories can get far in Congress without approval and
sponsorship. Now that that Department has spoken, we may
look forward to the day when one Of our fondest dreams will
become a reality.
MUCH TIME MERCY and discussion should 60 into
any preparation for a delegate in Congress. 1t is perhaps the
greatest single step afforded these Islands, and it becomes
incumbent upon Us to see to it that we make the most OF our
opportunity. Nothing should be left undone to make it a
shining success, and from the very beginning.
AS HAPPENS in all political situations, there will be
a great scramble for top spot. Already there may be talk about
who, what, when, where and how, Some perhaps already
see themselves, or their favortes sitting safely and comfortably
in the chosen spot. But now is not the time for that. There
is much work to be done, and little time in which to do it
