which stands us in efficient stead today. Girls and women who will ! be training for fpse-Whrdens, learning how to do manual things, spending much time in the cold outdoors. doing hospital work, need preparation that will serve sew eral purposes. They can't be loaded down with a half-dozen jars and bottles.
 By it's special virtues and clever blending, Special Dry Skin Lotion serves as a mild lubricant at night light protective foundation base by day, and a hand lotion and body-smooth at all times. So you can see how handy it would be for a defense worker to have bottle handy in her kit. A social worker, visiting sick people, would be add edly welcome if she were to sug- gest to the nurse in charge that the bed-chafed body of the patient would be relieved by soothing massage.
 The lotion is fundamentally de- signed as lubricant, for women with dry skins who prefer using lotion to cream. It was ap- plauded by millions of young wom- en who know they should use a night-cream but who dislike going to bed all greased-up. It needs only to be smoothed onto the skin. All that remains is slightly dewy look and noticeably softened. soothed, and smooth skin. No one would dream that you had a pret- ty effective emollient and lubricant. It takes no more than second to apply this creamy liquid-and not more than few seconds for it to do a successful vanishing act.

SUSSEX County Is NOlU
Free Of Bangs Disease
Is First Accredited County
In State; Is Asset
To Farmers

Through the cooperation of the
Federal Bureau of Animal Indus
try, the State Board of Agriculture,
and the farmers of Sussex county,
that county is now a Bangs Disease
Free Accredited Area. This is the
first county in Delaware to receive
this accreditation, although work is
progressing steadily in Kent and
New Castle counties.
1t is an asset to the farmers of
Sussex county as a better market
will be established for their sur
plus stock, as blood tested cattle
are in great demand due to a re-
quest by the federal government for
increased milk production as one
of the defense measures. 1t is also
a step toward the eradication of
undulant fever, which can be con-
tracted by humans from the con-
of raw milk coming from
Bangs Disease Infected Cattle.
The work of the accreditation of
Sussex county has been under the
of DR.. ]. F. Creadon,
federal inspector in charge, and DR..
Harry Mcdaniel. Jr., director of
livestock sanitation under the State
Board of Agriculture.

you who are for the first time
assuming these rights and respon-
sibilities of citizenship in these
United States of America are to be
congratulated. But you are also to
be cautioned that the obligations of
citizenship in a democracy are
probable more grossly violated in
the errors of omission than in the
breach of law. Violations of the law
are provided for in the statutes and
may be taken care of by the proper
officials; but the broader obligations
and duties of citizenship are as
sumed and performed only through
the initiative of the citizen himself
or herself.
Insofar as this nation needs your
best judgment and your broadest
positive support in determining
matters of public welfare, let your
response measure up to the pride
you should have in the honor and
dignity of your newly assumed citi-
zenship," he said in conclusion.
