Such training can frequently be successfully
accomplished by brushing the brows with stiff
brush. A tooth brush set aside for the purpose
will do.
Once the stubborn brows have been brushed

remain in this desired position. Brushing alone
won't keep them in formation until this process
has been repeated over such long period that

Snuff is retailing at 20 to so cents

Fond F'arewells

Departure of Waterbury's National Guard units for years training in a southern camp brings back many poig- nant memories to local residents. We have seen the guardsmen depart in peace and war. Sometimes all didn't come back. We entertain no such depressing thoughts now, although this training period they are now entering is more seri- ous than the customary summer skirm- ishes at Mantle or northern New York State to which we have become accus- toned.
 It would be pretty hard for any indi- vidual to predict just what will be taking place in the United States three or six months from now. We do know that our national defense program will be geared up to a point near it's high and in such plans the Connecticut National Guards men will play the same important part that they always have. They marched off to the wars in 1898, in 1914 and 1917. Each time our units covered themselves with glory.
 And so tonight let us pay our respects to these young men of this day and age who are following in the footsteps of older brothers, fathers and grandfatherS. They are true Americans down through the long list of names, so typical of the great American Union that we are today. To them is thrown the mantle of American freedom to protect from foreign encroach- ment. In the knowledge that it is in safe hands rests the comfort that must come to every family whose home front now flaunts flag for the youngster in camp.
