SCATTERINGS FOOT estimated that 90 per cent of the people in the United States suffer from foot trouble of one kind or another. For muggy summer days, when feet are swollen and aching, here is a pick-me-up suggested by Zorina, famous ballet dancer. Sit at the edge of the tub and hold your feet under the shower. Turn "it on full force as hot as you can stand it, then ice-cold and keep alternating the treatment until rour feet tingle with reli.ef.

An eighty-year old stocking factory already is planning its stocking of the future, which will be manufactured as soon as nylon is available, and is staging a contest to name its product. Perfect grooming will be assured because the hose are seam-free. Women are looking forward to these stockings of the future because no woman feels correctly dressed unless she is wearing hosiery. Wonder if those who dislike gray hair are still taking calcium pantothenate to restore hair color? OFFICER'S other day at.

Instead, he asked permission to ask a prayer for the Americans who are prisoners of the Japanese. He askec God to give them strength anc courage to hold on and the hope the eternal hope that the Yanks are coming. That appears to the writer as a beautiful gesture and one that must have taken quite a bit of courage.

Thirteen-year old Alice Qualia made 200 cookies for the Red Cross canteen at South Plains Army Air field Thursday night. Her mother Mrs. C. B. Qualia, is chairman the canteen corps.

Lt. Frank X. Tolbert, who said on his las' visit home that you don't have to travel over the world if you hav a knack for writing, is proving his words.

HAIR STYLES length hair was predominant in modeling at the Texas Association of Accredited Beauty in Austin Monday through Wednesday, according to Miss Ella May Butler, who represented Lubbock cosmetologists. The shoulder length is popular because of the variety of styles in which it may be worn, including upswept, knotted high on the head, upswept and tucked under, knotted on the neck and in curls. No particular hair style was featured; rather, the hair was styled to suit the individual.

Short hair was combed loosely. ILDRED PHILLIPS, of Danville, who is visiting "Mrs. Morgan Duval. disappointed that she has seen no longhorn cattle, cowboys or jack rabbits to date. She said she had been told that all were in evidence here.

Were you surprised that the men on the Information Please program could not name the Supreme Court justices? And can you do it? Speaking of hair, Leona Gelin is wondering if there is anyone in Lubbock who is reviving the art of making switches from long hair? That recording "Who Wouldn't Love You?" that Trudy Erwin recorded with Kay Kyser's orchestra has sold over 1,000,000 copies to date. No one sings with more fluid Spanish than Andy Russell, current rave of the younger set and we've an idea the bobby sockers will forget Sinatra when Russell, takes over on the famous Saturday night parade of song hits. 9 GREAT KIDDERS Lubbock- ites who have visited the amputation wards in McCloskey hospital say those young men who have lost arms or legs are taking their injuries in stride. They agree with the claim that the amputee has better morale than any other man in or out of the Army. The amputees are the hospital's biggest kidders, its most inveterate pranksters, its liveliest patients.

The Lubbock visitors say you can't make a tour of the corridors without running onto a couple of crippled men trying to outrun each other on their crutches or a man cutting traffic capers his wheel chair. They have been told the men do not want sympathy, nor to be stared at but to be accepted for what they consider themselves: Perfectly normal men with a slight handicap which wiii be overcome MEDICINE WOMEN IN-UPS do more than just make a soldier's knees so knocki.ty- -vw-hh viear: ,20 ihwrnpity- ITum to Page 2, Cplumn 3., Please) OCK Lubbocfc, Sunday, June 24, 1945 Party Series Is Honoring Misses Johnson And Nelson, Brides-Elect Is To Coffee Held Butler Residence QtlNCE the engagement and ap- preaching marriage of Miss Willella Nelson and Pvt.
