WILL 5 CHILDREN
Be OvERLOOKEDBY
SANTA, CHRISTMAS?
Illness in Family Makes it Impos-
sible for Parents to Buy
Little Wants.

While people are hurrying to and
fro, making wonderful preparations
for the merriest season of the wear.
and while little children are counting
the days, the hours and almost the
minutes until they can see with thrills
ecstatic what Santa Claus left for
them in his hurried visit of the night.
there are five little children in a
family, whose parents have had i'll
ness and misfortunes, who are also
with childish faith and certainty look
ing forward with eager anticipation
to Christmas morning, not knowing
that their parents hearts are aching
with an ache almost unbearable, be-
cause they know that on Christmas
morning their little ones must be dis
appointed and find out Santa Claus,
IN whom they had absolute faith, had
entirely overlooked them, and will
not be able to understand why he left
such beautiful dolls and toys for the
children in finer homes, and left them
nothing.
There is little girl of eleven
years, three boys aged ten, eight and
five, and a little baby boy Of six
months.
The things for which the children
are hoping are, a doll for the girl, a
tricycle. and an express wagon for
the boys. However, any toys at all,
even second hand toys, would be hail
ed with delight by the children.
A good woman, whose heart is full
Of sympathy and kindness, asked us
to call the attention of the public to
this case, as she knew number of
people and organizations would be
looking for worthy families to help
with Christmas offerings.
Any one wishing to help make the
hearts Of little children glad, as their
Christmas contribution, or who would
be interested in giving substantial
aid to their parents, who are reduced
to needy. circumstances through i'll
ness and misfortune, please phone
Mrs. VIM. L. Harris at 100 and she
will gladly put you in touch with the
woman reporting this case to The
Journal.

PERMANENT ROAD
FROM SMYRNA To
RIVER POSSIBLE
Chairman of State Highway Com
mission Here to DBcuss Pro-
jeCt With Local Citizens.

A paved road from Smyrna to the
river was the main topic of discussion
at meeting of the Rotary club Fri
day afternoon. At this meeting Mr..
John Holder, of the State highway
department, was presenty. also the
local county commissioners, Mavor
Gordon B. Gam and members of the
Civilian club.
When the wishes of the local citi- .
zens were made known MIR. Holder .
told them just what was possible in
securing a servieeable road at the
present time. He stated that the high
way department did not have suffi-
cient funds on hand with which the
work could be done at this time, but
suggested plan that possibly could
be worked out.
Mr.. Holder said the State high
way department has some mainten-
ance money on hand that could be
used along with other money to do
the work, in case the county of Cobb
would agree TO do the grading and
hauling in connection with the
work. If the county would dc this
Mr.. Holder stated thas he would
go before the Fulton county com
missioners and see if he eouId get
them to furnish part of the mon
ey for the project, as they had done
in a number of other similar in
stances for adjoining counties,
where important roads head into FSI-
ton county.
The cost Of grading and paving the
road as planned would cost approx
mately $4,000. OF this amount the
grading, or Cobb county's part, would
be only $4,000. A majority of. the
county commissioners We're present
at the meeting and agreed to the pro-
position and stated they would start
the work as soon as instructed by the
State department.
Mr.. Holder has made arrangements
10 go before the Fulton county COM
early in January and, to-
yether with Mayor Gam and repre-
from the local board Of
will lay the matter be-
fore the Fulton board.
The proposed road would be con-
5tructed Of rock and clay and would
asst about five years. Mr.. Holder
stated that in his opinion by that
Jime the State would be ready with
funds to put down a permanent paw
ng, without further cost to the coun-
,y, as the grading would be already
lone.
The citizens in Marietta and along
the Atlanta road are interested very
much in the project and will follow
up every opportunity to a successful
of the project.

A totally different cream
for a thorough cleansing g

Your skin must be kept really clean or
it becomes dull looking.
Ordinary washing cannot reach the
dust and fine particles of dirt that every
day bore deePinto thePoresofyourskin.
For thorough cleansing you need cream
with an oil base. Made with just the night
amount of oil, Ponds Cold Cream works
into your pores, loosens every bit of dirt and
comes out again bringing the dirt with it.
Use it every night before retiring and
whenever you come in from dusty trip.
Pat it on with your finger tips. You will
delight in its use, as it is very soft and light.
After you have let it stay minute wipe it
off with a soft cloth. The CRIME on the
cloth will convince you how thorough
cleansing the cream gives.
Keeps the skin supple
This delicate oil cream keeps your skin
supple and elastic. Little lines first appear

Something to make the skin look its
best at moments notice. Every woman
wants to know about it.
Something that will actually make
your skin feel and look softer and
smoother the moment you apply it.
A cream to do this must be one that
your skin will absorb instantly. 1t must
be delicate and made of soothing in
gradients yet not contain drop of oil.
This is Ponds Vanishing Cream -
the cream to use whenever you want
to look your best at moments notice.
How to make the ponder stay on
you want face powder to 60 on evenly
and stay on don't put it directly on
your face. Powder put directly on the
skin seldom goes ON evenly and it can
not stay on long. Bits of it catch on
little rough places and soon leck off.

when the skin begins to lose its suPpleness.
To avoid this. you must give your skin
proper attention every night. Smooth
Ponds Cold Cream into it. The nightly
use of this delicate oil cream will he p to
keep your skin in the supple condition that
resists the coming of lines.
Use both creams every day
Use both these creams every day. each for
its own purposes. and you will keep your
skin fresh and lovely.
Many women have really never known
the correct use of creams. They use one
cream for all purposes. or good cream for
the wrong purpose. and do not get all the
benefit they should.
Go to any drug or department store any
where and buy tube or jar of each of these
two creams that every normal skin needs.
Neither contains anything that can clog the
pores or promote the growth Of hair. The

This cream, which is absorbed instantly and
completely, holds the natural moisture in
the skin and acts as an invisible shield against
the drying effect of wind, cold and sun.
Use Ponds Vanishing Cream every day
before you go out. Use it whenever your
skin needs instant freshening and always
before you powder. 1t is indispensable for
daytime and evening use.
