Mrs. Sarah Shackleford, known
as AUNT Sarah to both races,

used as walking cane.

Excellency, the Haitian Minister
M. Ellie Lescot, VINO visited Charles

ations President John w. Davis,

Gaslzill, student president of the
group, introduced Professor John 2.
Matthews, head of the Department
of Romance Languages, who pre-
sented NJ Bervin to the eager au-
dience.
M. Bervin aroused great interest
and enthusiasm in his address and
in his answers to the questions fol-
lowing it, He showed the oppor-
tunities offered in building COM
mercial and cultural cooperation
between Haiti and the United States
including interchange of students
and teachers, travel, books, music
and other forms of art, as well as
creating a demand for the pur-
chase Of Haitian products, such as
is internationally famous coffee.

WHAT YOU SHOULD
KNOW ABOUT
FACE PIMPLES

These disfguring spots affecting
the outer or surface layer of the
skin often result from a temporary
disturbance, or merely from incor-
rect cleansing.
You can relieve the itchy, burning
soreness and help your skin by using
an ointment whose medication stays
in active contact with the pimply
spots. Apply it every night and
leave it on all night. Il does a
world of good.
For nearly as years people have
used Resinol Ointment to fill this
need. 1t soothes the irritated oil
ducts where many surface pimples
start. and aids healing. Carefully
cleansing the skin with Resinol Soap
helps to quicken the pleasing re-
suits. It's gently active lather is
refreshing and it rinses easily.
Buy a Jar Of Resinol Ointment
and cake of Resinol Soap from any
druggist. For free sample, write

insurance book that I could lay
hands on--how to sell insurance,
how to buy it, different kinds of
policies and so on. I made up my
mind that I wanted to stay in that
line of work, but not as typist. :"
Finally, after a year, the little
immigrant girl resigned-because
they wouldn't let her try to sell
policies.
