Your Synthetic
Brushes Require
Special Handling
BY ALICIA HART

BY ALICIA HART
NEA staff Writer
Let's brush up on dos and
don'ts which will lengthen the
life of those prolon and nylon
bristles, popular today in every
kind of beauty tool that sprouts
a tuft. ,
Do wash often-that goes for
tooth brushes, nail brush, hair
brush and any other kind you
own-and correctly, which Is to
swish around in soapy flakes, to
rinse and to shake out.
Do lay brushes down on their
sides to dry; never on their bris-
ties nor back so dampness will
accumulate and weaken the
base.
Don't place brushes on radia-
tors or in any other hot spot to
dry. Heat softens otherwise
strong bristles.
And don't ever mix up your
plastic brush with alcohol. U.s.
ing cologne or perfume on pro-
Ion or nylon bristles or on the
backs of plastic brushes won't
do them any good. and is just
a waste of precious "come
hither."

DESCRIBES PARCELS
Mrs. Holmes described fully
the contents of the official week
ly parcels, and the suggested ar
ticles for packages sent by next
of-kin. She also explained at
length the studied, scientific as
sortment of food, clothing and
comfort needs sent to prisoners,
a list devised by actual expert
ence and research as essential to
the mems health and mental sta
bility.
Twenty-three separate types
of parcels-including the stand
ard government issue) parcel
and the next-of-kin package
were described by Mrs. Holmes
in her talk. Each contains from
a dozen to 20 articles needed by
prisoners of war.
Some appreciation of the ex-
tensive benefits of the Red Cross
prisoner of war service may be
obtained from a survey of the
various types of packages,
some of which are: Standard in
valid package for wounded
convalescents; Christmas food
package; blanket, clothing and
footwear package; comfort pack
age (shaving equipment, nee
dies, etc.); medical and dental
equipment package; optical and
orthopedic supplies; garden seed
packages, and the special capt
ure parcel given to prisoner
WHO presumably has nothing but
his clothes when interned. This
valued parcel is a conglomera-
ton of all others, and includes
tobacco, pipe, cigarettes, tooth
brush, razor, vitamin tablets,
cascara tablets, soap and dozens
of other necessities for proper
living.
The local Red Cross chapter,
through its prisoner of war COM
mittee, provides full information
for all next-of-kin of war pris-
oners and can also explain by
maps where the individual pris-
oner's camp is located.
