AP NeWsfeatures Beauty Editor

After summer of salt water
swimming and frequent summing,
your skin may be dry and in need
of oil.
A good bath oil will give you
enough fabrication to protect your
skin from exposure, without the
sickness or discomfort of heavier
creams or oil rub-doWns.
There is nothing more relaxing
than warm bath. Though it isn't
possible to use fresh flowers to
scent the bath as they did cen
turtles ago, you can achieve the
illusion of bathing in flower pond
by using a Grecian bath oil which
is the product of a perfumer who
specializes in true floral fragrances
such as lily of the valley, violet,
carnation, hyaciath and lilac.

Beauty And T he Ba th

For the bath, just pour a small
amount into the tub and turn the
tap on full force. The force of the
water will distribute the oil and
soften hard water.
You can use this bath oil in a
number of ways. Drop a few drops
in the last shampoo rinse. It will
delicately perfume your hair and
will also inpart nice sheen.
Smooth a little bath oil on your
hands after every washing and they
will remain soft and fragrant.

The initial assignment of the men who wear the grasping eagles claw on their shoulders was an enormously important one. They had been flown into the bat tie area in transports, under cover of darkness and in treacherous fly- ing weather, to relieve the 11th Arr mored Division south of Bastogne, and to attempt to checkmate the German counterattack.
 The mission of the 17th was not to hold, but to attack. And attack they did, despite 6 fierce foe, road blocks, snow storms and thous- ands of land mines. The men of the l7th knifed into Cetturu, into Bouitet, Steinbach ard Limerle, cutting vital highways. At the end of a month of savage battle, the l7th stormed into Germany near the town of Wiltz.
 Tn March the 17th participated in one of the most brilliant air. borne operations of the war = an action which helped set up the final drive toward Berlin. The men dropped across Rhine in 5000 gliders, none of which was lost, through enemy action. This dramatic thrust signaled the final push to victory.

 Battle of Morale
 We internees fought battle of souls and minds instead of bullets and bombs. The meanest and the best in us could not be hidden. I saw the scarcity of true leaders among us, the hollowness of those who should have taken command but hadn't the guts. These were 8 few notable exceptions.
 My hat is off to the Irish doctor who fought greed and petty politics and national jealousies-which con- tinued throughout our whole intern ment-and strove to maintain the best hospital circumstances per- mitted.
 There were a few Dutch. British
