GATES FURNITURE MEDFORD - 341 North Central GRANTS PASS ASHLAND 'Wobbies' Work To Offset WCTU's Anti-Liquor Drive New York (U.R Temperance leaders in America are making headway with a sort of "creeping prohibition" local option elec1 tions that dry up the country side bit by bit but the liquor people say they . aren't worried. For one thing, the ladies of the WCTTJ have the "Wobbies" to contend with now. Ladies Favor Drinking The Wobbies are ladies, too, but they are in favor of drink ing. In moderation, of course. Their organization TheWo men's Association of Allied Bev erage Industries, Inc., or WAABI for short is the female corps of the liquor industry's public relations force. '. The "Wobbies are pledged to defend the reputation of the liq uor industry and to resist those "dangerous outside forces" that would destroy it. : A Wobbie gots to PTA meet ings and the like, ready to stick up for legalized liquor if the girls get to talking on the sub ject. She may even give a speech. Temperance workers say they detect a rising public sentiment against the use of alcohol. They believe publicity given to the problems of alcoholism and juve nile delinquency is working in their favor.' , WCTTJ Gaining Memberships The Woman's Christian Tem perance Union has been gaining in membership. It now claims 400,000 members in its 10,000 state and local unions. Against this the Wobbies are pretty outnumbered. They list 3500 members in 42 chapters. Most Wobbies are connected with some phase of the alcoholic beverage' industry through then jobs or their husbands. As We Live No One Should Despair About Physical Features No one is physically perfect. Everyone must learn to live with certain features he or she does not like. ; (Q) "I am very upset about my face. I n fact, it upsets me so much that I do not like to go , out socially. I am 22 years old, weigh 128 3 1 Dr. Huilock am 5 feet, 3 inches tall. My face is completely round, just like a moon, and I have a double chin. Otherwise, I am not heavy. All the weight seems to be in 'my face and chin. Is there any way to change the shape of a face?" E.H. (A) There is no known way to change the bone structure of the face because that is fully devel oped by the middle teens. How ever, there are several things you can do and these should solve or partially solve your problem for you. First of all, go to your doctor and discuss with him the matter of your weight. As- people's weight varies according to their bone structure, it would be im possible to say that you are "overweight" without a physi cal check-up. You may not be "heavy" but you are certainly not thin. - , The doctor can recommend By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. a reducing diet that will help you to lose weight but will not impair your health. He can also suggest exercises to tighten the muscles of your , chin ; and the lower. part of your face. You are much too young to have a dou ble chin or even sagging mus cles. - , Have Hair Styled Then, go to a beauty special ist and have him style your hair to minimize , the roundness of your face. You will be amazed to see how -the whole shape of your face seems-to change with different hair styles. You may not be able to wear your hair in the prevailing fashion or like your friends do, but I am cer tain that any specialist can. find a style to make your face seem longer. - If you keep strictly to your diet and do your exercises re gularly, you will soon discover that your face itself is. thinner. Your double chin. will disappear and, when you tighten the neck muscles, your neck will look thinner and longer. . This, too, will make your face appear less moon-like.
