New Policy

The Boston Public Library will
1iberalize as of Jan. /, 1885,, its
arrangements for the lending of
books for home use.
Adult cardholders will be per-
mitted to borrow an unlimited
number 6f 6ne-nnonth books tbut
n5t more than one 7-day book or
four 14-day books instead of an
upper limit of four books as in
the past.
Children of IL years of age and
over will be permitted to borrow
four books at one time instead
of two as heretofore.
Books, with the exception of
new books and those in public
demand, will be hereafter avail
able for renewal for an additional
borrowing period if needed.
When books are charged out to
borrowers, the date due will be
stamped in each rather than the
date of charging out the book as
heretofore.
The age for issuing library
cards to children will be lowered
to permit a child to have a
library card as soon as he has
completed one-half of the first
grade rather than wait until the
closing months of the second
grade as in the past.
It is believed that the stamp
ing Of the "due date" will help
borrowers to avoid fines. The
extended number of books to be
lent at one time will be Of special

8. Efficiency of food distribu-
ton in all its phases is at an all
time peak.
"The food industry has a we'll
equipped plant to put to work
on "a tremendous job at hand"

be undertaken without full real
ization that there will be prob
lens. The possibility of short
ages of manpower, equipment
and some supplies must be antici-
pated."
Whatever the handicaps," he
continued, "the food industry's
job is to maintain and improve
wherever and however possible
these practices and developments
that tend to keep distribution
costs down and standards of con-
sumner service up. This is the
primary responsibility which the
food industry must accept"
Mr.. Hartford said that most
Americans have been eating more
and better food than they did
prior to World War II.
BY "sonstant devotion to high
volume, low-cost, low-profit poll
cies," the food industry and its
employees should prove a valua-

ache. This too, can result in
nervous fatigue.
Even though the going is
pretty rough now through these
troubled times, we must keep
ourselves up and at it--ready for
work and more work. But at the
same time, remember to grant
yourself bit Of relaxation. This
we must do to remain healthy
and beautiful as we'll as to re-
tain our pleasant disposition.
We are ever in the search Of
beauty, SO keep in mind that we
can only succeed in so far as
we have a balance between our
work and play. Relaxation, along
with work means so much in
keeping lovely and youthful.
Have you noticed that when
you are tired, tense and nervous
your looks suffer? I must en-
phasize that it is at such times
that one can be most unbeau-
tiful.
What will you say when your
good looks disappear? Do not
stand by idly while your energy
slowly departs for the results
will be: Lines in your face; your
contenance anG figure rejecting
the terrific strain and tension
that you are forcing upon your
self.

A TOAST TO NEW YEAR. It
is an ancient custom to drink
a toast to the New Year. In those
days, the young folk carried a
wassail bowl from door-to-door
and offered song and a drink
of wassail, and for this were
given a bit of money.
Today our wassail is either
from a bowl or a tall frosty glass
filled with hospitality and heart
full of friendship.
The recipe for wassail bowl is
yours for three-cent stamp. NV

Hartford Sees Food
Industry Ready For
New Responsibility

The food industry is in the
best shape in its history to cope
with the new problems and re-
sponsibilities it must face in 1851,
John A. Hartford, Chairman of
the Board of the Great Atlantic
& Pacific Tea Company, said to-
day.
"It would be foolhardy to at
tempt to predict the full impact
of our defense effort on the food
industry" he said. Some foods
may be in short supply and price
trends will depend on a number
of factors over which grocers
have no control, but the prospects
are bright that the American
people will continue to receive
an adequate supply of food"
Mr.. Hartford also predicted
that "the high degree of effici-
ency achieved by the food in
dustry in the past will be an
important national asset in any
-econegHie SHIFT the futurs--RSgast
bring"
He summarized assets (which
should enable the industry to
satisfy the nations food require
ments" as follows:
l. The nations farmers have
been producing more food than
at any other time in history and
have the equipment and techni-
cal knowledge necessary to ex-
pand that production.

OPPRESSION

The man who is oppressed
feels stiffled-smothered. He has
no blitheness of heart or spirit
no zeal. Life goes by with a
roar while he stands agape look
ing on-for he has no active part
in its procession-he is an aid to
actors-he is a passive figure who
makes the bricks for the build
ers. Such is the effect of in
tolerance and segregation - in
today's world. Oppression is in
deed a burden heavier than the
mountains. However, this too
will pass away-all things have

BEAUTY HINTS
BEAUTY FOR ALL

A%ANAA ~ - a n Nav N-rrA@
There are many kinds Of
beauty. None need be denied
for there are several from which
to choose-at will. For instance
the woman who wishes to be
attractively dressed will find
that good humor will be her most
fascinating garment, also that
smiling lips will out-charm the
cupid's bow that sneers. And to
sum it all up, there is cleanli-
ness-no one can be considered
ugly who is perfectly groomed.
Well scrubbed hands are whole
some and pleasing, giving dignity
to those that are gnarled and
careworn If you are short on
beauty of contour or features,
take what you will of beauty
from the great reservoir Of clean
Iiness-It is all yours for the
mere effort.

HOW DO you LOOK?

SO much has been written
about hands down through the
ages, it would seem hardly
worthwhile to mention the sub
ject now. But since we have all
sorts Of hands, there is plenty
yet to be said, some in favor and
a bit against your precious
digits.
You see, the hands are sup
posed to reveal a great deal of
ones character. They tell the
world whether you are weak or
strong. They also fairly scream
out aloud If we fail to give them
the proper care and grooming.
Your hands can look vitality
interesting and at the same time
be useful as well as beautiful
There is a charm in strong Gre
alive and capable hands. Hands
can be capable in so many diff
ferent ways; in the arts and pro-
fessions, in music, modelling,
painting and sculpture. Since
they are a part of you, they diff
fer pretty much in the same
manner as the individual figure
and face.
OF course, the beauty of the
hands depends to a great de-
gree upon the framework (bone
construction). Some of us have
short stubby fingers, but it is
always the long slender ones
that have a greater appeal. Be
careful how you use your hands,
even if you do not have beauti-
full hands, 1t is possible to de-
velop grace and beauty for them.
Graceful movements, proper
care and groming hand lend a
charm to the hands that will
make them your greatest beauty
asset.
Now here are a few facts to
know about when buying furs.
Be sure you buy a garment that
is your true size. Do buy from
a reliable firm. Select a coat
that Is large enough to give
complete and easy movement
through the shoulders, arms,
and see that there is a good
overlap when 1t is fashioned.
This prevents any undue strain
through the hips.
Remember, furs deteriorate
from heat. They should not be
exposed to it, neither should
they be exposed to strong sun
light for too long q period.
