How+o Retain
Youthful
Beauty
BY DONNA GRACE

WHEN THEY arrive at the
age Of ., many girls feet that
Youth has passed for them. They
begin 20 look for gray hairs and
wrinkles and think. ..oh dear,
I'm getting old
Fortunately, this little age
complex disappears and the
majority Of them, feel and act
like 20 when they reach the 40
year milestone. They begin 10
Ten girls or 30, who, 20 them,
are mere youngsters, how easy
IL is 10 stay everlastingIy young.
This old age complex has no
place in modern living and while
every woman can feel much
younger than her real age, she
should keep her looks and per-
scnality in rather close harmony
with her years.
Keep in Condition
One must try TO keep physi-
ceny ut in order to look yeHhe.
The whole body must be strong.
II is impossible for any one 20
hold the correct posture when
the health is impaired.
Poor posture is the definite
sign of age. Instead of holding
the abdomen fat. chest high and
rounded and neck stretched high,
there is a tendency to slump.
Nature never hurries i'm devel-
oping either good or faulty traits.
Ii takes time TO ruin pretty
youthful contours but less time
to keep them trim and supple.
Old age slump usually depends
on the individual and her atti-
tude in ShouIdering obligations.
Home women and goo d
mothers frequently lose their
youthful charm. so far as con-
tours go. the first few years OF
their married life.
Time for Beauty
They no longer have or take
time for their own beauty and
charm They seem to forget
that il was this young beauty
and charm that made them
attractive to their husband.
They would like TO continue
10 be beautiful but in their
security. they may think ii jus t
a waste of time to bother.
Every woman has a right 20
retain her individuality and she
can do this and still be a per-
feet hoTnemaker. She must
make herself continue to hold
correct posture and have enough
activity 10 keep the body supple.
This Is her first obligation and
no one will help her IL she
neglectS herself.
Sacrifice for Home
We all love and respect the
fine honnewomen who sacrifice
so much for others but we do

 MAN BUS VICTIM
Alec Harvey, Hurt Mon= day, Removed to Water=
 bury Hospital

Naugatuck, July 22-Alec Harvey of 19 Carroll St., who was pas senger on the c. R. & L. bus which was involved in a collision with five autos Monday morning on North Main St., was removed to the Water bury hospital late Wednesday after noon in the community ambulance.
 pr. N. A. Towne, who treated MT. Harvey, said the latter failed to re- alize he was hurt immediately after the accident but came to his office for treatment Monday afternoon. His back, neck and shoulders were stiff and he evidenced indications of general shaking-up, Dr. Towne said.
 Although the physician asked him to go to the hospital then MT Harvey was reluctant to do so. Dr. Towne expressed the opinion that it was probably muscular strain but pointed out that X-rays would re- veal whether MT. Harvey suffered any more serious injuries.
 The condition of Michael Fitzpat- rick, 49, of 32 West St., was reported as slightly improved" this morning at St. Mary's hospital, Waterbury.
 Mrs. Ralph Shereive of Chicago H., also a passenger in the bus was said to be fairly comfortable al St. Mary's hospital. The nature o1 her injury has not yet been deter mined, hospital officials said

TAX COLLECTION
 MAY SET RECORD
Early Returns Larger Than Usual; Extra Clerk Is
 Added to Staff

Naugatuck, July g - Tax Col lector James Fitzgerald announced today record tax collection is ex- pected by the end of the month. Although there was a slight letup in payments Wednesday, his office has been extremely busy during the month; he said.
 As the deadline for payment be- fore interest starts is August 2, MT Fitzgerald believes next week will probably be the heaviest week for collections, but he does not think as many will pay during the last week as is usual in view of the fact that the early collections have been much larger than usual.
 Although an extra clerk has been added to the collectors staff the office is not yet fully caught up on its records as the rush has con- tinued to delay this work to cer- tain extent, he said He also point ed out a factor which causes delay this year and which was not pres ent in other years is the exemption for servicemen. Forms have to be filled out in connection with this which takes extra time
 The tax office will be open Fri day from 2 to g p. m., in addition to its regular hours Friday.

New First Aid Unit
 Here To Be Dropped
Disbandment Obligatory to Confirm With War Secur-
 ity Program; Manpower to Be Conserved

Naugatuck, July 22. - In order to conform with the regulations of the War Civilian Security Program under the U. s. Citizens Defense Corps, of which the Naugatuck Citi- zens Defense Corps is a member it is necessary that the Field First Aid Unit, which was organized re- gently, be disbanded. A great deal of work in organiz- ing this Unit has been done by its members under the leadership of Edward s. Muller as executive officer and it is disappointing to find it necessary to discontinue 1t, but inasmuch as the Naugatuck War Council was reorganized June l, 1943, to conform with the War Se- curity Program, it is obligatory that this step be taken.
 The text of the order follows:
 Connecticut War Council
 State Armory
 Hartford 1, Connecticut To:
 Chairmen of Local War Councils,
 Chairmen of American Red Cross
 Chapters:
 AS of this date, the Connecticut First Aid Field Service and the posi- tion of First Aid Executive Officer are cancelled,
 This service and this position were created by the former State Defense Council on Juanry 8, 1943, by re- lease R-872A; and they were also covered by release R-883A, issued on January II, 1943. Both of these releases are hereby revoked.
 This action is taken in order to:
 l. Conserve manpoWer. Attempt should be made to interest as many as possible of the members of the former Connecticut First Aid Field Service in applying for enrolment and training in one of the protective services where First Aid training will prove advantageous.
 2. Prevent any possibility of con- fusion by the unassigned members of the former Connecticut First Aid Field Service and those assigned members of other services who have received First Aid training. Mem- bers of the First Aid Field Service could not as such become members of the citizens defense corps and could not become eligible for the benefits of the War Civilian Security Program.
 3. Cancel the preparation of the proposed Manual referred to in R. 872A.
 The Connecticut War Council de- sires to take this opportunity for expressing it's deep appreciation of the magnificent training program which has been carried out over long period of time by instructors qualified by the American Red Cross. In close cooperation with the Red Cross, over 100000 Connec- ticut citizens have received First Aid training, and the value of this accomplishment is beyond measure. The cancellation of this Field Serv- ice does not indicate any intention to discontinue our reliance on Red

today by the local board.
 Anyone in need of extra rations because of i'll health can obtain them by obtaining signed state. ment from the doctor in charge of the case, which would give the re- quired number of extra pounds per week and the particular kinds of food necessary. This also holds true in the case of processed foods.
 The doctors statement must have this information on it before the board can consider application and issue any food certificates.
 Such food ration certificates will be granted for a two months pe- riod. Renewals will be granted upon receipt of doctors state ment each time it is necessary to call for an extra issuance.

Chairmen Of local War Councils are requested to carry this message of explana- tion and appreciation to their former First Aid Executive Officers and the enrolled membership of the former Field Service.
 The records of all those having completed First Aid training will be kept in the offices of the Train ing Section of the Connecticut War Council, and all inquiries pertaining to them should be so addressed.
