DONATE HAIR-DOS
Beauticians Play Santa Claus
To B’Spring Hospital Patients
Twenty - one beauty culturists,
from Abilene, Cisco, Sweetwater
and Roscoe, played Santa Sunday
to patients at Big Spring State
Hospital.
The 21 contributed their time,
talents and equipment to helping
make the patients more attractive
for the holiday seasons.
They gave 56 permanents during
the day and cut, shampooed and
dressed hair for eight other pa-
tients who have naturally curly
hair.
The project waa initiated and
carried out by District II. Texas
Association of Beauty Culturists.
Mrs. John Meyer of Abilene is fifth
vice president of the state execu-
tive board and chairman of Dis-
trict II.
“We decided to let this be our
Christmas project, in the hope that

IT’S ALL OVER—All but a handful of the thousands of
dolls in the West Texas Doll Show were delivered to
their owners Monday. Mrs. Keith Wright, who had the
responsibility of getting the dolls checked in and then
checked back to owners, gestures that “they're all gone
now." And, she’s glad to report, they all got back safely.
Mrs. Wright directed the dozens of Central Volunteer
Bureau members who did all the book work and served as
a hosts at the show. (Staff photo by Bob Gulley)

at the Red Cross Chapter House.
The tea was sponsored by the
College Activities Group of the

Jack Sayles, chairman.
The purpose was to bring the
foreign students from each of the
colleges together under the spon-
sorship of American Red Cross.

McMurry; Rene' Treviano, Chihua-
hua, Mexico, McMurry; Heirich

der, faculty advisor, McMurry.
other districts over the state will
follow suit and give such care to
patients in all the state hospitals,"
she said
“Hospital executives, too, said
they hope the idea will spread.
They say they have found it is
very good for the patients' morale
to be made attractive.
“And, during the next few
weeks patients will be having more
visitors than at any other time of
year and would like to look their
best." ■,
. Twelve of the operators, 10 wom-
en and two men, were from Abi-
lene. Unit 12 of the organisation.
Others were from nearby units.
The Big Spring Hospital has a
two-operator shop for use by pa-
tients, but has been short on oper-
ators and unable to provide for all.
The visiting beauticians loaded
dryers and other equipment in
their cars. Each operator carried
her or his own kit of tools, mirrors
and such. They began work at the
hospital at 9 a.m., setting up shop
in a long reception room. By 4
p.m. the last curl had been set.
dried and combed.
Supply houses furnished material
for use by the operators.
Patients ranged in age from
young women in their 20's to very
elderly woman. One was a wheel-
chair patient
The work Sunday was the third
and concluding phase of the Christ-
mas project for the district beauti-
cians. Earlier, operations from
Odessa and Midland went to Big
Spring and did work for patients
who were able to go to downtown
shops and have their hair dressed.
In all, 250 permanents were given.
The patients the Abilene area op-
erators worked with Sunday were
not able to leave the hospital to
have work done downtown.
At noon the operators were
guests of the hospital administra-
tion at lunch.
Pleasure of the patients over
their new hair-dos made the trip
well worth the trouble, Mrs. Meyer
said.
The St. Nick beauticians Sunday
were:
Mrs. Glenn Nealeigh of Abilene,
president of the local unit, and
her husband, Mrs. I. M. Reneau,
Mrs. Evelyn Stevenson, Mrs. Les-
lie Reed, Mrs. Jack Nuckols. Gar-
land Boles, Mrs. Shirley Mundon,
Mrs. Etta Griswold, Mrs. Meyer,
Mrs. L. M. Smith and Mrs. John
Jakulewicz, all of Abilene.

HOLLYWOOD BEAUTY
'Relaxing Board' Is Film Star
Jean Hagen's Health Secret
By LYDIA LANE
HOLLYWOOD — I watched Jean
Hagen and Danny Thomas shoot
a scene for “Make Room for Dad-
dy” and as soon as Jean went into
her dressing room she stretched
ut on an upside-down board.
“My husband made this.” Jean
said with pride. “It can adjust to
any angle. And it has handles at
this end so I can reverse and do
my exercises.” Jean then shifted
her position so that her head was
higher than her feet to show me.
“In ten minutes 1 can get more
relaxation on this board than I
would for an hour without revers-
ing the pull of gravity. I have one
at home, too." Jean asked if I
minded if we talked while she lay
n the board. -“I'm so proud of
Tom,” she exclaimed. (Tom Sidel
is her husband.) Jean smiled and
I noticed how white her teeth
were. I asked what she did to
keep them that way.
"I gargle with peroxide and
warm water — it's great for kill-
ing any bacteria and it does whit-
en the teeth." Jean said she used
20 volume peroxide but her dentist
advised not to do it more often
than once a week.
I remembered having a discus-
sion with Jean when she first
came to Hollywood about groom-
ing and she insisted that it was
not always necessary for her to go
around looking like a movie star.
"They will only remember me the
way I appear on the screen," she
said.
“I wasn't ready to accept your
advice then, Lydia,” she said,
“but I've learned the truth of it
through experience. I think my re-
bellious attitude sprang from the
bad habits that were formed while
I was a co-ed living in sloppy-joe
clothes. Then, too, I didn't con-
sider myself a beauty and it seem-
ed so silly to be trying to com-
pete with the glamour girls.
“But I know now that when you
look your best it is rewarding not
only because of the impression you
make on others but for the good
psychlogical effect it has on you.
When you really want to improve
yourself, you can find so much
that needs to be done. It all begins
by looking at yourself critically
and asking, ‘what are my good
points' and play them up — and
'what is wrong' and improve it."
If you have not taken an inter-
est in your appearance, perhaps
you'll find Jean' Hagen’s experi-
ence helpful.
If you don't have a “relaxing
board” try your ironing board
placed against a low chair. You'll
find it works nicely. And if you
want more information on the art
of relaxation, order a copy of leaf-
let M-19, “Favorite Relaxing Ex-
ercises of the Stars." Added, at no
extra cost. Gloria Swanson's rou-
tine for releasing tension. Get your
copy by sending only 5 cents AND
