Its easy to see why her tall blond
Navy fance adores Patricia.
She is SO warmly alive, and so
lovely to look at! Eyes of deep,
sparkling brown . ;. rich, glossy
hair and from the tip of her
little pointed chin to the top of
her smooth high brow, skin as
arrestingly beautiful as new
opened rose.
Like so many other engaged girls,
Patricia trusts her Hawless complexion
to Ponds Cold Cream.
'I began using Ponds when was
in college at Northwestern-and loued
itrig hit from the start-it's such silky
textured cream! Then, while | was
studying at the American Academy of
Dramatic Art, | grew to respect Ponds
more and more. 1t does such a grand
job of removing makeup and of keep
ing my skin really clean and smooth"
Evening star., 1945-01-21

This is how Patricia beauty-cares
for her skin with Ponds:
Every night, eeery morning Patricia
smooths heavenly cool fngerfuls of
Ponds Cold Cream over her face and
throat. Pats briskly to soften and re-
lease dirt and makeup. Tissues off.
She rinses with more snowy Ponds,
whirling creamy finger tips lightly over
her face for extra cleansing, extra sof-
tenlng. Tissues off again-clean.
''My double Ponds creaming makes
my skin feel so blissfulLy SMOOTH"
Patricia says.
Give your face this well-loved
beauty care with Pond's-night and
morning. For daytime freshen-ups, too.
You'll see that it's no accident SO many
more girls and women use Ponds than
any other face cream at any price.
Ask for the big jar-you'll love dip
ping the fingers of both hands in the
luxurious big jar!

City Officials Scored
lover School Lunches
|By Southeast Council

District officials were given 9
verbal spanking over the lack of hot
lunches in elementary schools by
the Southeast Council of Citizens
Associations last night.
Claiming funds allocated by the
Federal Government for schoo
lunch programs were not used ir
full despite the urgent need in sew
eral schools for such programs, the
council said, these thousands OF
lost dollars" were distributed tc
other States because of failure OF
District officials to request the funds
allocated to the District.
T. Paul Mudd of the Randle High
lands Association offered the COM
plant in the form of a resolution
based on statements by Mrs. c. H
Hagerty, chairman of the Education
Committee.
Would Supplement Lunches.
.- 1t was suggested that the Parent
Teacher Associations in the South
east area meet with the various
council delegates to work out pro-
gram whereby school children too
far away from their homes will be
able to eat their lunches supple
mented by hot soup.
Mrs. Hagerty said cafeterias were
not included in the elementary
school layout because the former
superintendent of schools, DR.
Frank w. Ballou. believed primary
schools were small and were often
no more than three blocks from the
pupils homes.
However, times have changed,
she continued, and elementary
schools are getting larger and chill
dren at times have to travel by bus
and streetcars to reach them.
Mrs. Hagerty, Randle Highlands
delegate, urged the North RandlC
Community Association to get up a
petition favoring the building of a
junior high school in that area
centrally located in Southeast to be
named John Philip Sousa Junior
High School. The site in that area
originally scheduled for a school
will be used by the Recreation De-
partment as golf course.
Favor Play Segrega ton.
The council went on record as
supporting the Board of Recrea-
tion's segregation bylaw and op-
posed the proposed amendment
favoring no segregation. They re-
iterated their previous stand of race
separation in recreation areas.
The motions were presented by
Henry Austin and Frank P. Ran
dolph, delegates of the Bradbury
Heights group.
Mr.. Randolph offered another

directions.
Reports persisted that the Japa-
nese already had begun withdraw

the enemy last September when
the Japanese sought to drive a

81 railroad reached point 10

ed they were rushing to join the
direct assault on the city.
To the southeast, Chinese militia
and regular army forces have
pushed a widening Chinese salient

southeast of KWeilin
North of Lungchow, the Japa-
