An Ambitious Youngsler

Girl, ll. Eager To Become Singer Or Actress. Receives Advice

DEAR MISS DIX: I am 11 years old and in the sixth grade. I want to become an actress or linger. I know I would have to work hard 10 l3! Successful. but I don't mind that. My mother think: I'm too young. but I feel the younger I begin, the better. What ll your opinion?

CHARLOTTE

ANSWER: You and your mother are both right. Charlotte. While you are certainly too young to leave home in lurch of a career. you aren't too young to begin training for whet you want.

First of all, you must be sure that you have the promise of real talent for the ctreer you select. You must have a good voice, or real dra- matic ability. Your music teacher at school, and your dramatic coach. can help you by frankly evaluating your talent.

POISE AND A GOOD APPEARANCE

That's just the beginning! In addition to talent. you must have a good appearance (beauty is not an essential), intelligence. poise and char- ucler. There you must begin to develop at once. The work of making the most of your natural gifts is largely up to you.

Mom will help )ou set up a program of physical improvement. Learn a few good exercises to improve your pasture. and donit overlook the importance of sufficient sleep and rest. Be sports-minded. Go skating, swimming, play tennis and don't depend on buses and cars for transportation. Walking is won- derful excreisr-, -

Be diligent at your schoolwork. for the day of the uneducated glamor girl is past. '

Sounds like a big order for I little girl, doesn't it?

Muriel Nissen

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a junior in high school. and have been married two months. I'm completing this year, and while I know I should return in the fall to finish, I'd really much rather concen. irate on housekeeping. I dont care for school, and I do love keep- ing house. Do you think I should go back?

NORA

ANSWER: While the advantages of a high-school diploma are manifold. I think in your case preference should be given your home. Plugging along at schoolwork you don't like will probably spoil your disposition and set your good housekeeping back at least a year.

I am a man of 30. and have been divorced Recently, I met 1-1 young lady, and we hav fallen

When we are outdoors there are several garden tasks that nan be done. This winter it is easy to prune shrubs and trees: being careful to take out only the old dead branches and overcrowding shoots. The early blooming varieties should be very carefully done. or much color will be lost from the shrubs. Some more old

gardens end. Mock orange. dcutzta and the native stuartla are thick and white in heavy bloom along the ramparts of the enclosing box.

Box is the supremely suitable material foi- these green archi- tectural gardens of Virginia, grow- ing to perfection in the lush

climate. Often the severe formality of clipped box is missing, and it grows untended. billowing out into soft. irregular masses.

ally in August and September. pai- ents watch for signs of this dis- ease months earlier and. naturally. wonder what our patient research workers have been able to discover about causes and treatment. Despite some disagreement as to advisability of removing tonsils before epidemic polio occurs, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis has advised that tonsils should not be removed just prev- ious epidemics and some authori- ties advise that no surgical oper- atlons be performed at this time unless it is an emergency. "The risk of developing severe poliomy-

elitis is at least. three times as great among persons who had undergone removal of tonsils

within one month prior to expos- ure to virus.”

In a special article in the Jour- nal of the American Medical As- sociation, "Recent Additions to the Knowledge of Poliomyelltis," Dr. H. W. Kumm. New York. states that Dr. Sabine statement is true that "excepting artificial conditions. entry -of the poliomyelitls virus (tiny organism) by way of the mouth can Justinably be regarded as the usual mode of infection." He is convinced that human feces (wastes from the bowel) derived from patients with polio and from healthy individuals, who are never- theless carriers of the virus. is the most common source of virus in nature, ”It is now generally agreed that virus is transmitted more readily in the intimacy of house- hold association than under any other conditions."

A third finding, that there is a relation of physical activity at the time of the onset of poliomyelitls to the severity of the disease is re- ported by Dr. D. M. Horstmann in

"Proceedings of the Society of Experimental Biology and Medi- cine." Dr. llorstmann found that

such activity during the first brief phase or symptoms of polio had no effect. During the second. or most acute. fever stage of the ill- ness. unusual physical exercise was clearly associated with significant increase in the amount and sever- ity of subsequent paralysis. Unfor- tunately. it is usually the strong youngster who does not give in to the early "tiredness" of polio and continues his activities --. swim-

ming. athletics, gamea - until he is completely exhausted. and it is at this time that the paralysis is likely to occur.

These three findings nhould be kept in mind by parents before the onset of the polio season.

danger. For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is may have a year in which the home. domestic ties and all intimate rela- tionships may be a matter of con- cern. with emotional and senti- mental values uppermost in mak- ing decislons and commitments. The affections. temperament, cul- tural asplratlons. may be the de- ciding factor in all activities. While courtehlps. marriage and personal relations may have pleas- ant stlmulue, at the same time health must be considered. Strain or a menace of dubious involve- ment calls for discretion.

A child born on this day, while lovable, talented and aspiring as well as sentimental. may be easily duped or led by others.
