Garment Drive

Yesterday afternoon the 1949
garment drive to Unit 60 of the
N~eedlework Guild of America was
eliminated at a tea at which the
garments and articles that were
collected were put on display for
those who participated. The tea
and display was held at the home
of Mrs. Letitia Rose, 2O7 So. Sum-
NIT Street, who is Vice-President
Of Unit 60. Mrs. Marion Ander-
son is president and Mrs. Aurelia
Turner is secretary.
The Guild was founded in 1882
There are II branches or units in
all the large cities in the country.
It is an ~interracial and non-sec-
tartan organization. One Of it's
prime tasks is to collect garments
and household and other useful
articles for distribution to various
agencies. 27 agencies, for example,
are recipients of garments here in
Dayton. Typical agencies are the

Agency, Christ Child Society, Day
ton Boys Club, West Side Day
Nursery, Mary Scott Home forthe
Aged, st. Joseph Orphanage and
all the hospitals.
A total Of 20,676 garments were
collected by the II units last year.
Unit 60 collected about 1000. In
1913, the West Side Day Nursery
received 888 garments and articles
from Unit 60. The Nursery will
receive about the same number of
articles this year.
Assisting in the collection this
year were twenty-five organiza-
tons and seventy-six individuals.
The organizations included civic,
fraternal and church groups. On
display in Mrs. Roses home was a
very wide and varied assortment
of garments and useful articles.
Many ofthe garments were secured
wholesale and tax free thru the
cooperation of professional buy
ers.

II N4NAS AMERICAN FOUNDATION FOR ANIMAL HEALTH
LIVESTOCK

Third, cowpox leaves the animal
highly susceptible to two other
serious diseases-inflammation of
the teats, and acute mastitis.
Cracks and sores on the teats are
invitations to secondary infection
which may prove fatal.
Fourth, mixers and caretakers
may be infected on the hands and
arms with a painful skin eruption.
Cowpox eruption is usually con-
fined to the cows teats, and occurs
during the milking period. Two
types of virus cause the disease.
The true cowpox" type confers
immunity on recovered cows. But
the false" or natural" type does
not confer immu -ity; it may recur
again and again, and is much more
difficult to control.
When the first sign of cowpox
is detected, the veterinarian should
be called and the affected COW
should be segregated from the
rest of the herd at once. Her stall
should be thoroughly cleaned and
disinfected. Mixers should care
fully disinfect thei' hands and
arms. The owner risks his own
health and that Of his herd If he
ignores this persistent disease.

The Most Improved Team

The most improved team in either
league, probably is part of the
Philadelphia Story. The Philadel-
phia Story in baseball has been
rather sad one for some time.
But Connie Mack revived old
dreams last season, and not only
the veteran Connie but many So
called fairly-smart people believe
his Athletics have a pennant chance
this new season. Not second-not
third-not fourth-but first.
Just as big a story is the
chance the Phillies have. They
are too young to win any PEN
nant. But smart baseball peo-
pie tell me they can finish Sec
ond or third. They probably
won't. But they look like a
big league ball club ON a ram
page.
They have a better outfield than
either the Braves, Dodgers or the
Cardinals in Del Ennis, Richie Ash
burn and Bill Nicholson. They have
one of the best infields in either
league with Eddie Watkins at first,
plus Puddinhead Jones at third.
Their catching is only fair.
The Phillies represent the
story Of the new National
league. They can finish second
or seventh. They can finish sew.
enth and still be almost as good
as the 1949 pennant winner.
They deserve support from their

Correct Prediction

A reporter is even presumptious
to attempt to predict what may hap
pen in this new coalition congress,
but despite this, we predicted APP
proval by the Senate of Mr.. James
Boyd, who has been serving for
year without pay as director Of
the u. S. bureau of mines. APP
proval would come, for one reason:
that John L. Lewis did the one
thing that united the senate = he
called his mine workers out on
strike in opposition to the Boyd APP
pointment on the slim theory that
Boyd had never worked in a mine.
Fact is that John ]. Forbes, 35-
year veteran of the bureau and a
veteran miner, is chief of the d.
vision of mine inspection and safe
ty. Also all 400 mine inspectors in
the bureau have had at least five
years experience in the bureau.
Lewis objection to Boyd, was pop
pycock. Mr.. Boyd is an administra-
tor and a scientist from the Uni
versity Of Colorado and the health
and safety division Of the bureau is
only small part of his job which
includes research In metals, eco
nomics, statistics. metallurgy, ex-
plosives and fuels.

Practical Rules For Protecting
Health And Beauty OF Hair

quently can be the result of a
disturbed nervous system or
disorder of the endocrine network.
Fungus infections such as ring
worm can produce falling hair,
as can emotional shocks, severe
illnesses, any of the fever diseases
typhoid, malaria), menstrual up
sets, childbirth and malnutrition.
"Some medical authorities are
confident that large percentage
of women's hair troubles can be
traced to oven-hot dryers, to
harsh permanent-waving chemi-
calls, to scorching machines for
hair-curling, to strong soaps, dyes,
beaches, and, sometimes, to I'M
sanitary conditions in the shops.
aside from poor general health,
two other conditions are chiefly
responsible for hair troubles. The
first is uncleanliness. Shampoo
frequently if your scalp is oily,
less often if it's dry. Soap in liquid
or jelly form is preferable, be-
cause it dissolves more easily
than bar soap applied directly
to the hair. Thorough rinsing is
important = three or four times,
at least.
Brushing and combing are ut
most necessities. And a clean
brush and comb are prime re-
quisites. Brushing stimulates the
scalp and gives tiny scalp muscles
the exercise they regularly need.
When muscles of the scalp weaken,
they lose their grasp and out falls
your hair.
"The second main cause of COM
mon hair trouble was advanced
by DR.. M. Wharton Young of
Howard University, Washington,
D. C. His theory is that a large
skull causes tension of the scalp,
which in turn produces badness.
Ordinary badness usual starts
at the top of the head, DR.. Young
said, because the crown does not
have as adequate a blood supply
as the sides.
SIN such cases, some specialists
believe, badness can often be
warded off with careful massage.
Correct massage is combination
of careful pressure and exercise
of the scalp. Vibrators, used cor
rectly, can be beneficial"

Postal Rates Boost
IN WASHINGTON


THERE is EVERY indication
= that this congress will boost
postal rates. The increase will
not be the figure which the post
office department has asked, and
because of the influence of big pub
fishers in the magazine field. it is
likely that some small newspapers
may stand the brunt of the increase
unless they take measures early
to build a back-fire with their con-
gressmen.
There Is no question but that
the post office department
should be granted an increase
in rates In most every class Of
mail unless the taxpayers de-
clare they are willing to Gin
tinue paying into the kitty for
a postal subsidy.
It seems to this reporter however,
that some of the big subsidies the
department is now paying. specif-
ically to the airplane industry,
should be Investigated by the con-
gress. The cost of carrying mail
on the railroads and the cornpeti-
tion of the express monopoly, all
should have a thorough airing be-
fore the smaller users Of the mail
service are penalized by SO to 100
per cent boost in the postal rates.

help, longer than his former

IA Your hair is your browning
glory - or can be, if you take
proper care of it. Although huge
gyms of money are spent every
Mar on beauty parlors, barber
Shops, hair tonics and ointments,
few of us know the most elemen-
tary facts about our hair and
what to do for it, says Patty de
Roulf. Revealing in Redbook
Magazine for April that badness
among women is on the increase,
she recommends a complete ply
steal check-up, frequent shampoo
and daily brushing:
"Hairs are horny tubes growing
out of our skin, and each of us
possesses three distinct types: the
long, lustrous stuff on our heads,
the downy variety on our bodies,
and the short, stiff kind on our
eyelids. Only the hair roots are
alive; all hair above the scalp
surface is dead. Gray hair is not
more lifeless than hair of any
other color. ea<
"A single strand usually re-
mains in the scalp about four
years. The hair on your head
grows from a quarter-inch to one
inch month, and every day you
lose twenty-five to one hundred
hairs and produce an equal num-
Der.
"Here are some important
dos and don'ts' for hair care:
Don't allow your body to be-
come fatigued, overworked and
undernourished.
Don't go more than a week
without a shampoo if you live in
a city; nor more than two weeks
in the country.
Don't use -bristled brushes
if your scalp is at all sensitive.
Don't massage too frequently
or vigorously if your scalp is oily.
Don't try new hair prepara-
tions without first investigating
them.
Don't visit the beauty parlor
too often. Too many scalp treat
ments can be harmful.
Don't wear tight hats. They
cause badness.
But there are just as many
things you can do to keep your
hair i'm AL condition:
keep in good physical health.
Brush your hair at least one hun
dred strokes every day. Shampoo
your brush and comb as well as
your hair frequently. Rinse your
hair at least three times after
shampooing.
Consult only the most reliable
specialists if you have a serious
hair problem. Massage your scalp
if it is tight. Restore Oh to hair
dried out by too many permanent
waves or too much direct sun. At
the first sign of badness, see your
doctor.
what can be done to combat
increasing badness both in women
and men? Although medical men
ARE often uncertain of the causes,
Dthey do agree that badness fire.
