moved from the skin, the sweat
glands get busy and produce a
fresh magic mantle.
Soap film left on the skin is also
responsible for those tiny Under
neath-the skin blemishes. Residue
of soap dehydrates the skin, caus-
ing roughness and in some cases,
extreme irritation. It actually
keeps the skin from being really
to-goodness pretty! The simple
insurance against all that un-
pleasantness lies in the proper
method of rinsing.
For example, nine out of 10
women who use soap on their faces
make the mistake of rinsing their
faces with"a washcloth. Don't do
it! Catch the water in your
cupped hands and splash it on
your face. When your hands glide
and slide easily over your face,
and your face feels SATIN smooth,
there is soap film left on the skin.

denly your hands will stick or grab
at your skin. Then you will know
your skin Is entirely free of soap.
7 suggest a couple of extra splashes
just for good measure.
Isn't it amazing that actual skin
diseases can be prevented by prop
er rinsing of the face? Isn't it
wonderful that rough, irritated
skin becomes a smooth and pretty
skin when proper cleansing be-
comes a habit?

There is one item on your bath

However, you can get too much

too much If you leave any soap

It's even dangerous. I'll tell you
why:
Nature provides your skin with
an invaluable protection against
externally caused skin diseases.
This protection is in the form of
an acid film thrown off by the
sweat glands in the skin.
AS much as we at Powers love
soap. we never lose sight of the
fact that soap neutralizes this acid
film. rendering 1t temporarily
worthless as protection. However,

City Council Adopts Building Control Ordinance
PALMER TRUCK STARTS WEEKLY SCHEDULED RUN TO VALDEZ

Another new service that will more closely link Palmer and Valdez was inaugurated this week, with the announcement of a weekly scheduled freight haul between the two cities. The an- nouncement comes from Carl Meier of Palmer Transfer, who initiated the service this week.
 MT. Meier will leave Palmer each Monday morning and will depart from Valdez some time Tuesday. If the volume of his business increases enough to war rant 1t, he plans to make a sec ond scheduled run the latter part of the week, he said.
 The trucker will deliver pro- duce, milk, eggs, ice cream and dairy products to Valdez markets and to lodges, resorts and con- struction camps along the Glen and Richardson Highways.
 On the return haul from Val dez, MT. Meier expects to carry general freight.
 Valdez merchants who wish to leave a freight order for Palmer Transfer may leave a message for MT. Meier at either the Valdez Dock office or the Valdez Hotel.
 The trucker, as one service of his new enterprise, will carry the Valdez copies of the Valley From tiersman. This will assure deliv- cry of the paper to Valdez late Monday. The news dispatched by Mrs. Jack Thatcher, Valdez cor respondent, also will leave with the trucker on his Tuesday re- turn trip.
 Mir. Meier has been operating a trucking business in the Palmer area for the past nine years. He began a Palmer Anchorage freight haul in 1941.

Business Volume Here Skyfockets in '@.'5O, Dist. Engineer Told

The great increase in trucking operations over the Richardson Highway during the past two win ters led to 100 per cent increase in the volume of business in Val dez in 1949 as compared to the business of 1947, J. w. Gilson of the First Bank of Valdez testified at the April 20 small boat harbor hearing. Estimates available on the volume of business for the first half of 1850 indicate that there will be a 50 per cent jump in this years total over the 1949 figure, the banker said.
 Those facts were presented be- fore Col, L. E. Seeman, District Engineer for Alaska, who had scheduled the public hearing to determine the need for improve ments in the Valdez small boat harbor. Colonel Seeman was ac companied to the hearing by l.. A. Stanley, H. L. Moats and re- corder Kathleen Kleindt.
 The hearing was held in the . Valdez School, before disap- pointingly small audience of local business men, employees of gov ernment services, local fishermen, members of the Valdez city coun- cil, and airways officials. The hearing also touched on the Waterpower and flood control sit uation in Valdez.
 MT. Gilson's report stressed the fact that dock improvements now under way, together with plans for new home construction here, point toward the continuation of increased activity at the port of Valdez.
 Colonel Seeman was acquainted with figures concerning Valdez population, industries, the hinter- land which looks to Valdez for supplies and medical care, and the number of boats now using
