wtcase NOTICE"

Here is some news, 1 think you will agree with me. that will gladden your heart.

I have opened an addition to my Mechanical and Electrical Shop what is called a "Fix It" Shop; they have been run for years in the States and also in the larger cities of Canada, but never before here in Charlottetown.

To explain briefly. this is what it mesnsz-Supposing you have a leaky tsp, you call us and first thing it is ﬁxed. Maybe the cord on the Iron needs attention, same thing, Just phone. The mirnace door maybe ia not shutting just right, again Just a call makes 1t right. Perhaps the Mop is forever falling off the handle, Just phone. J You have a door that sticks? Just 1 phone.

Now when you ask your husband to ﬁx one of those little things around the house, here is what usually happens. Hubby comes home, has a nice supper, settles down with the paper, and you ask him about that leaky tap or faulty switch, well what doe; he say? l will do that tomorrow nigh1, honey. Only trouble with that, to- lorrol lever comes; now believe me it. is far easier to get. 50 cents from him to have the job done.

Besides that we have all the equipment necessary, which 111 many cases he lacks. Tools of all kinds along with lathe welding. soldering, spray painting, knife sharpening machines, skate sharp- ener, your sidewalk cleared of ice and snow, etc.

So the next time one of those little Jobs turn up remember us end see for yourself how quickly and cheaply it can be done. We repair and rewind Iron Toasters. ‘Vacuum Cleaners, Mix Masters. Washing Machines. etc, etc. Re- lmember our motto: "Satisfaction Peterson pleases we are open evenings.

PERSONAL PARCELS SERVICE ‘me present scale o! rationing

in Great Britain is lower new than at any time during the war. The British housewife who has done her shopping for the last seven years, ration book in hand, now‘ takes home smaller portions to feed her family. The floods early 111 the year, followed by the long-l est rainless summer on record, have adversely affected home grown supplies and imports have had to be drastically cut The winter ahead is expected to be of the grfmmest. Fuel cuts on domes- tic consumption have to be tnade to save power for industrial use, clothing coupons have had to be reduced, so families will be cold- er. Tlhose wvho suffer most are perhaps mothers with children ivliose families are at home for all meals, and old people especially those who live alone. Hotel and restaurant meals, for those who can afford them and who live within reach, have also been reduced. Personal food Parcels are a heaven sent relief to any house- \\'llE. They bring the only poe- sible variation and addition to the monotony of rationed food. Children of eight and nine years old have never known such things as rice, Rice Krispies, cream, many kinds oi candies, sugar cakes, etc. Dried fruits are saved right through the year for a possible Christmas pudding. Jellies, dehy- drated soups and fruit juices are saved against the day when there may be illness in the house. Dried milk and dried eggs, cans of meat, rice and cornflour, pudding mixes, cookies and so many other good things are staple foods but are practically unobtainable in Great Britain.

This is not the full extent of the value of the food parcels. Their morale value is every bit as impor- tant and effective as their nutri- tion value. The friendship accom- panyrlng each parcel brings good cheer and fresh courage to all who know of and share in the gilt. Names and addresses can be supplied by W.V.S. Headquarters 41 Tothill street, London, S.W.f., England.

‘CAMERAMAN GIVES TIPS MAKE-UP, COSTUMES

ON!‘

Having your picture taken as al Christmas surprise for your best! beau? Learn the camera-wise‘ tricks of make-up, costuming and posing that will put your best face I forward .for the critical lens.

Ready to brief you on these technical tricks is a New York photographer, Listen to Henry Jan- svn whose skilled direction will help you, as it docs professional imodels, to coax o prettier image - from the camera.

First, says Jonson, the prettiest. pictures are those that are simply posed and look natural. To meet this requirement, l1e recommends sitting down for your portrait and having the finished print cropped at the waist or shoulders. It's easier, he points out, to feel —and look -_relaxed in a. sitting position.

What to wear? A portrait for a very special person deserves your prettiest finery. Wearing your bust duds for a picture, says our

photographer will boost your mor- ole and help you to face camera and powerful lights with more self-confidence.

As important to consider -— i1 you want to back up the camera» man's efforts to capture a pretty image - are the optical tricks you can play with dress colour and styling. Here's Jonson's briefing ‘m these points: if your face is thin, wear light colours to create the il- lusion of more fullness. The best neckline for foresliortening a long face is high, round or bateau-shap-

ed.

For the round-faced girl. how- ever, clothes should be dark in tone and have V-neckllnes to cre- ate the illusion of length.

Jonson warns against using glit- tering jewelry when you sit for a picture. Such sparklers are apt to attract more attention than you want them to in a finished print. Best make-up for your photo- graph says Jonson ls of the pan- cake type. Use more lipstick and eye make-up than you usually wear. A medium dark lipstick, provided it's not so dark as to photograph black. is a good choice of shade.
