If you have any doubt about the
of personal appearance.
get rid Of it. 1t does have a great
influence on your life. no matter
what you think. It affects you in
ways you never even know about.
Human nature is stupid in this
way. The most fascinating per-
sonality may be housed in layers
of fat and the frowsy looking
woman you ignored may own a
string of polo ponies and a yacht.
The man you met and liked may
have been attracted by your per-
sonality but repulsed by your
bulges or poorly-cared-for finger
nails. You may have lost that job
you wanted because of the way
you slumped into the chair.
Although the outer packaging
is superficial when compared. to
the real stuff inside, why not give
yourself a break? Why handicap
yourself With poor packag1ng? AS
a matter of fact a bored, negative
outlook and physical neglect and
deterioration often go hand in
hand, although not always. It is
just as true that gallantry and an,
eager spirit are reflected in the
determination to be as attractive
physically and mentally as pos
sible.
A friend Of mine has just re-
ported an interesting experience
which proves what I am saying
She is very well of financially and
dresses stunningly. The other day

to cube a food. To mince means

us to miss fine and comforting
and stimulating qualities in others
because Of the way they look, but
1t is even more stupid Of us to ex-
pect others to dig for unknown
lovely qualities when we look like
something the cat didn't bother
to drag in.
I suppose the magic formula
would be to look past the exterior
for those shining qualities in
others but to keep our outer selves
as shining as possible. In a way,
the way you look is the estimate
you place on yourself.

arrests, maintain the camps and
decide when an inmate is to be
given his freedom. Entire popu-

Each camp constitutes "a state

The shadow of the police hovers
over a camp inmate as long as
he lives. Even after he is freed,
he can find work only if the police
approves. The police can grab
him at anytime and throw him
back into a camp without any
excuse.
Cruel treatment prevails. Chill
dren are separated from their
mothers. insufficient food causes
mass deaths. Political prisoners
are thrown in with criminals of
the worst type.

are forced to work for the police.
