to icy blasts and this for most
of us is enough TO prevent shock
to skin and the rest of the body.
Those of the thin. delicate skin,
however. need some pampering
during the Winter months.
The cold. clean air is good for
them but must be taken in small
doses. They will find the outer
chiffon-like surface shrivels and
chaps almost as it does from
Sunburn, and continued exposure
Just adds TO the misery.
Showers-Baths
They will avoid using soap and
water Just before going out. The
morning shower should be taken
-at-lea&t hour before leaving
the house. This quick. cool
shower helps to harden the sur
face. All warm baths must be
taken at night before going TO
bed. These, too. should be fol-
lowed by a cool shower.
Use plenty of good massage
cream for the nightly facial and
if the skin has become chapped.
a covering of lanolin will be
soothing. Plain white vaseline is
also healing.
This skin SenSitiveneSs should
not prevent indulgence in out
door sports such as skiing and
skating. The face can be pro-
tected with a good heavy foun-
dation that Will not only seal the
tissues against frost but enhance

There are the various creams,
Winter lotions. and again. the

The sensitive skinned ones
should avoid heavy. rich foods
and Stimulants during cold
weather. Exercise will stimulate
normal circulation so the skin
will not be overtaxed with the
shock of cold and TOO much inner
stimulation.
Don't use soap and water right
after coming in from the cold
air. Cleanse with your soothing
cream. then a mild astringent.

A.F.L. EXECUTIVE
 COUNCIL IS BUSY
Organization of AutOmO= bile Workers Under Way;
 Typos Are Coming Back

Miami, Fla, Feb. 18-(UP)-The executive council of the American Federation of Labor was expected today to announce plans for organ izing automobile workers, following series of conferences with leaders of the AFL's United Automobile Work CTS Union. Conferences have been under way since the council opened its mid-winter conclave here week ago. During that time the situation in Ford plants was discussed, along with prospects in other plants in the Detroit area. Irvan Cary, JAW President, headed the delegation of union leaders who conferred with the council.

NAVY NOT GOING
 DUCK HUNTING
Novel "Sea=Going Tanks Are Being Bought for
 Very Good Use

Washington, Feb. 18.-CUP)-The United States navy may be going duck hunting, but the admirals say, definitely not"
 The navy decided yesterday to spend $3,240,000 to acquire 200 odd looking "sea-going tanks"-original- ly designed as movable duck blinds for lazy sportsmen.
 These strange craft, which can be used to send landing parties from ship to shore in hurry, are the invention of Donald Roebling, wealthy retired businessman and member of the famous Roebling bridge-building family.
 Navy officials watched a demon stration of the amphibian tractors last summer and decided to ex- pertinent with them. They gave Roebling a mass production order, making necessary changes in his original design so that they would be capable of tangling with more formidable game.
 Exact details of the tanks" are navy secret. But they resemble a stubby railroad flat car, with a pilots seat in front protected by an armored shield. An undisclosed number of men could be accommo- dated in the open section in the rear. They would have protection from enemy fire ashore from the armored shield.
 The neither-fish-nor-fowr' con- traption travel through the water at a speed of about 10 knots, pro- pelled by devices similar to paddle wheels attached to a tractor-like under-surface. Once on land, the tractor tread do the work of ma neuvering the tank" back into the water to pick up another landing force.
 If the navy likes Roebling's ini- tial armada" 1t probably will give him additional orders. Meanwhile duck hunters will have to be con- tent to follow their usual practice of remaining hours on end in sta- tionary blind.

Induction Of Colored
 Draftees Postponed
Draft Board Officials Await Further Instructions;
 Whites Not to Replace COlOred Men Rejected

The four local draft boards have not as yet received any orders from headquarters regarding the unsettled controversy between army and se- lective service officials over Negro draftees which was brought before the attention of Governor Robert A. Hurley yesterday ill Hartford,
 The states third selective service induction period ended yesterday with Connecticut 67 men short of its 143O quota. The governor was requested to overrule the decision of Colonel Ernest L. Averill, state selective service director, not to call white men to take the place of Ne groes at the army induction center.
 Refuses to Reconsider
 Before the governor was ap- preached on the subject Colonel Pierre V. Kieffer, first corps area liasion officer, and Colonel William A. Collier, personnel officer, urged Colonel Averill to reconsider his stand, but he declined. The governor promised to look into the matter thoroughly.
 Members of the Hartford draft boards today continued to discuss the legal phases of the rejection of Negroes because of their race and the possibility of taking the matter to court. No definite action, how ever, has been taken on the latter move.
 Connecticut congressman declined to take sides in the controversy.
 Selective service headquarters has instructed Hartford draft boards not to replace Negroes with whites when the former are turned down by the army because of their race. 1nclud- ing four Negroes refused Monday, a total of 13 colored draftees have been rejected since the army reached its quota of 36 Negroes last Thursday.
 Tn addition the acceptance of seven more Negroes than were called for in the second draft in January resulted in the third call quota of Negroes being reduced from 43 to 36. Local boards are re- fusing to send white registrants to make up for the excess number Of Negroes inducted in January, or to replace with whites the i3 Negroes rejected in the past few days.
 Special Units
 Tn view of the army's assertion that Negroes beyond Q certain mum. per were peihg refused lscAubs e. commodations for them are not yet ready, sclectlve service officials at state headquarters posed the Ques. ton why Connecticut Negroes could

and the stairs wear out, whether or not the town would have to put new ones in. Under the lease, MT Pasho takes care of the repairs, MT Eaton replied.
 If you rent a house, the owner is not going to put carpet on the stairs" MT. Parkinson said. The warden said the town made repairs under the balcony in the past, and when MT. Eaton said this was structural repairs, the warden eX- pressed the opinion that the people using it caused it to fall down.
 Mir. Parkinson asked that when painting of the theater is required, who is to do it, the town or the tenant, and MT. Eaton said. that according to the lease, the tenant must. The board then ordered treads installed by MT. German on the rear stairway only.
 To Prepare Budget
 The board on a motion by MT. Eaton ordered the finance commit tee to confer with the superintend- ent and prepare a budget for the coming fiscal year.
 Supt. Scully said he feels the town hall and town farm need painting, and suggested estimates of this be included.
 MT. Durkin had pointed out that the window frames in the town hall needed repairing and it was felt that this would be done when the building is painted.
 Supt. Scully suggested that the committee include in the new bud get an estimate for the necessary new vaults for several town hall rooms. and the warden agreed this should be done, pointing out that the town is required to do so by state law. The price for all of this vault work would be about $1 100 MT. Sheridan said.
 McCann Reappointed
 With no dissenting vote, Marshal, McCann was reappointed town farm superintendent at the same salary $1 200 per year. William Mariana was the only member of the board not present last night.
