MODERN PYGMALION . . . Eddie Senz does a "Make-over
on blonde opera star Dorothy Kirsten.
AP Newsfeatures
The average American woman
is getting slimmer and more at
tractive all the time. Years ago
the housewife with two or three
children wore at least a size 18 or
20 dress. Today it is difficult to
find a smart gown in a size above
16 because there is not as much
of a demand for them.
Feminine opera stars who used
to weigh several hundred pounds
and dress in costumes as large as
pup tents, who wore their hair in
ojd - fashioned styles alid who
wouldn't dream of wearing1 make
up on the street, now are glamor
girls.
Dorothy Kirsten, blonde and
lovely opera star, is one beauty
who makes the most of herself.
Makeup artist Eddie Senz waved
his magic makeup wand and en
hanced the beauty that is Miss
Kirsten. He created an interesting
coiffure out of her long tresses,
making them modern and attrac
tive. He took all of her hair, twist
ed it to the top of her head and
held it with a jewelled pin. Sec
tions of the hair were then brought
forward one end in a sort of
"curl in the middle of the fore
head" idea. , .
Miss Kirsten also learned about
"face spacing" the correct afch
of her eyebrows, line of her lips
At 92 Spry MrsT Marshall
Slows Down To A Gallop
By MAXINE GILLETTE
AP Newsfeatures
VOLENA, Va. The remarkable
Mrs. Marshall didn't "do much"
this month.
She visited her 340-acre farm
some ten miles from here and
straightened out a Lew business
matters. She kept check on a new
pig that arrived. She managed to
get a bit of crocheting and some
mending and sewing done and to
thumb through and read a dozen
new magazines and keep up with
the news through two or three
daily papers.
But Mrs. Kate Harvey Marshall
said she was taking things a little
easy now because "I'm getting
old."
She is 92.
Besides, she explained, she was
a little tired from managing her
tobacco farm. She is adamant
about its management and insists
upon buying fertilizer and seed
herself and banking her money
from the sale of crops.
"Got a pretty good price for my
tobacco this year," she said, re
marking that she had managed to
sell it before the British stepped
out of the market and. the price
dropped.
Mrs. Marshall lives with her
daughter, hard - working Mrs.
Pencye Conner.
She looks nearer 72. than 92.
Speaking quietly, she explained
that she doesn't read much any
more.
"No," said her daughter.
"Mother doesn't read much. Just
a dozen or so magazines a
month, about three newspapers,
the Bible and any other book
she can get her hands on."
Mrs. Marshall remarked that
she had just finished "The Pavil
ion of Lost Women" and that she
thought it "very good."
"I don't ge!t up early any more,
either," the nonagenarian noted.
"No," said her daughter,
"Mother usually doesn't get up
much before seven."
"I go to bed early, too," laid
Mrs. Marshall.
"Oh, yes," smiled Mrs. Conner.
"She gets to bed shortly before
midnight most of the time. But if
We have guests she'll sit up till
one o'clock."
"I don't do any cooking now."
But her daughter .said the only
reason was because her mother
was "afraid of the electric stove."
The remarkable Mrs. Marshall
Pushed away "a little thing" she
had been crocheting and moved
aside two quilts she had made. -
"I can't walk around much."
she said, pointing to a sturdy cane'
of foundation
creams. . .
Mr. Senz believes that any wo
man can be pretty if she will
give herself a chance. All she
has to do, he. says, is visit a
good makeup expert and follow
his directions thereafter: The
makeup artist should, be able to
tell her how to. wear her hair to
balance her., features, whether to
stick with her natural Upline or
. add to or subtract from it.
If she needs to lose a few
pounds, she should diet. With her
doctor's permission, starches, pas
tries, and rich gravies cut down
or done away with completely for
a while will erase a few pounds
within a week or two. Any wo
man who is overweight will find
that her whole perspective will
change when her figure is trim
mer. Of course if there is a great
deal of weight to be shelved a
planned diet probably will be
necessary. '
Many doctors recommend as- a
good safe diet for the housewife
and for people in sedentary Jobs,
cuttingg down the amoants of all
food. This - way you will get your
vitamin instead of eliminating
some .of. the necessary ones. If
you find you are hungry beteen
meals, .carrots, celery and fruit
help fill that empty spot.
KATE HARVEY MARSHALL
. . . Manages own tobacco farm.
"Mother," Mrs. Conner re
marked, "has been out to see a
new pig we have, five times to
day." During the war Mrs. Conner and
her mother lived alone in the big
house here.
One day, Mrs. Conner broke her
leg. The day she returned home
from the hospital, Mrs. Marshall
broke her arm.
The two women moved . beds
into the living room, to simplify
housekeeping, but' neither got
much sleep because, as Mrs. Con
ner explainedi t:
"Mother would wake me be
fore daylight so she could clean
'the room and make the beds
before some one came to call."

ANNIVERSARY
Now February 7th may not stand
out in your mind, but to me it does.
For on February 7. 1944, you and'
started County-wide Library
Service in Haywood County.
I would like to tell you some of
the things that have happened
during these four years.
First of all, your Library has
grown up quite a bit. It is open all
day from 10:00 to 12:00 and 1:00
to 5:00 every day except Wednes
day afternoon while we are at the
Hospital to distribute books there.
Two fulltime people, a page for
part-time make up the staff. (Some
wonderful volunteers give a few
hours a week).. It has been re
arranged and organized into a well-
working Library. lgives free serv
ice to anyone living in Haywood
County. It has a County Library
Board, a trained Librarian, and a
budget, which has been increased
by the County and the Town of
Waynesville. It has a Reference
Room, Children's Room, Office, and
Mian Room and it is already too
small for many needed activities.
For instance, if we have a planned
program for adults or children,
you would have to sit on the floor.
Circulation of our Library, which
includes the Hospital, thirteen
rural stations, and one-Negro sta
tion, and the Headquarters in the
Waynesville Library, was 43,188
last year. Going, back to 1944, wc
find the circulation that year to be
11,111 -for the entire county.
Breaking down the circulation of
43.188 we find 13,051 were circu
lated in the stations, most of them
being sponsored by Home Demons
tration' Clubs. Books have been
taken out any way possible, most
ly by the people themselves or the
Librarian bumming a ride with
some other County worker. Some j
books have gone by express, mail, !

and trucks. Yes, the rural people
read and they want good books too.
In addition many are regular visit
ors to the Headquarters every
week or two.
We are so proud of I he way the
boys and girls use Hie Library.
The Reading Clubs each summer
have helped to inlroduee many of
them to adventures in leading.
They are proud of the Children's
Room and many love lu browse
there. Circulation figures for chil
dren has increased from a little
over 2,000 in 1944, to a little over
16,000 in 1947. (Back then there
wasn't a chair, table, or heat in
that room).
Now we want to extend our serv
ices to really reach the entire
County. That is only possible by
Bookmobile Service' which would
take books into various communi
ties with regular scheduled slops.
It would take books for all aes,
and for those who want informa
tion it would be an education, and
for many it would mean wood rec
reation. That is the reason we are
tryin gto raise $3,000 to buy, equip,
and get this service slarled. It is
impossible to visualize what such
a service could mean to our Coun
ty, for, like education, the influ
ence of a Library cannot be meas
ured. Television Permit
Given Charlotte Station
Jefferson Standard Broadcast
ing company, owner of radio sta
tion WBT, Charlotte, has been
granted permission by the Fed
eral Communications Commis
sion this week to construct a tel
evision station.
The television transmitter
equipment will be placed on top
of Spencer Mountain, near Gas
tonia to bring sight and sound in
the not too distant future to ap
proximately half a million Caro
linians. The monitoring power
for visual transmission will he
15,200 watts, and 7,200 watts for
sound transmission.
Fontana Bookmobile To
Be Displayed Saturday
Tiie Bookmobile belonging to the
Fontana Regional Library will be ;
on display in front of the Hay
wood County library Saturday.
February 7, if weather permits.
Miss Margaret Johnston, librari
an, has arranged for the exhibition
of the bookmobile to give citizens
of this community an opportunity
to see what equipment is neces
sary to operate this kind of library
service.

Just A Sign
Of The Times
AP Newsfeatures
CINCINNATI, Ohio If fashions
seem to change so fast that they
keep you broke and maybe a lit
tle dizzy it's just a sign of the
times.
The rapid change is caused more
by the unrest in the world in
which you're living than by crafty
manufacturers and clever adver
tising, says Dr. E. L Talbert. well-
known social psychologist and as
sociate professor of sociology in
the College of Liberal Arts, Uni
versity of Cincinnati. And the
greater the unrest, the faster the
change. He explains:
"The change is created by the
frustrations of the people who
buy. They try to relieve their
fears, anxieties and feelings of
insecurity by buying clothes
fashionable clothes."
Following the fashion isn't
necessarily bad, asserts Dr. Tal
bert, whose own weakness is col
lecting bright red ties. He adds:
"Fashion change has been com
mended from the point of view of
mental hyeiene. It is a WAV nf as.
sorting our equality to other mem
bers of the community. Novel
styles add zest to life. According
to this defense, fashion has a posi

Dr. Talbert admits, advising:
"Strive for happier homes, bet

"When the conditions which
nourish balanced persons, are
present, when frustrations are
kept at a minimum, the craving
