Fashion Note
I think most of us were reliev-
ed to see so few of the new 'chem-
ise" dresses shown in the spring
catalogues and on the back or
our newspaper. However it often
takes a year or so for so definite
a change to catch on.
Almost to a woman, we'll agree
this sack definitely does not "ac-
centuate the positive". However,
next year you may see us going
around in one, so peculiar are
the workings of the female mind,
Try This One
Are you suffering from rheum-
atism or lumbago? Try having
the aching muscles ironed with
your electric iron. TJie heat and
massaging of the iron will give
much quicker relief than would
heat or massaging alone.
Are your woolen skirts or slacks
beginning to look faded and shab-
by? Try brightening them up
with a good brushing using the

sure it is liquid household ammon-

Moderation
Moderation — that word means
the difference between right and
wrong. So many perfectly innoc-
ent pastimes may become deadly,
when carried to excess. This mod-
eration applies not only to drink-
ing or smoking, but also to such
things as TV.
Television has so many things
to commend it. As an instrum-
ent of education it can be un-
excelled. What child will not re-
member a topic dramatized on
TV longer than taught by the old
illustrations in the classroom? Un-
fortunately, that applies to all
they see on TV. Are you sure
that you are careful enough what
is presented to your child, through
this modern miracle? For wheth-
er you like it or not they remem-
ber the bad equally as well as the
good.
Are you perhaps in danger of
becoming a race of "Zombies"?
Time was when we went to the
local hockey games and particiip-
ated in the only way we knew
how—by pounding the boards and
yelling our heads off as our team
came down the ice. Now it is
so tempting to sit at home where
our toes and fingers don't get
numb and watch the game held in
the Maple Leaf Gardens. But is-
n't something lacking? We may
not have realized it but this was
relaxing and a wonderful way to
work off tensions. Remember
how you used to come home cold
and hungry—and tired out, ready
for a good night's sleep?
I wonder if our reading does
not suffer a bit, too. It is so
hard to read when the television
is going. Besides it is so much
easier to just sit and see the
whole story acted out before your
eyes without even having to hold
the book. But what about our
imagination? When we read a
book, our imagination had to tran-
slate the cold written words into
the burning emotions of the hero
or heroine. Now this is all done
for us by the sultry tones of "die
hidden lover behind the screen.
Do you read to the children as
much as you used to? Will they
ever become aquainted with Unc-
le Wiggley and Peck's Bad Boy?
Or will they only know Roy Rog-
ers and Zorro?
When we were young, we were
forced to satisfy aur innate thirst
for music in our own living room
on the piano. How dear to me
are my own memories of my mo-
ther playing while we children
sang the old favourites together.
Will our children never know
such memories? Twenty years
from now, will they look back
