Tote Your Beauty

A big handbag is a great joy
particularly for the working girl
More and more women these days
use the diversified handbag, often
called q tote bag. Good grooming
during a long working day neces-
states quite a few glamor props,
more than the average little hand
bag has space for.
This is the era, too, Of the
purse-size cOntainer. Everything
from powder to eyebrow pencil is
available In miniature.
The advantage Of this is that
one doesn't need to stop in the
morning before taking OF for work

boxes and bottles. Small editions
of the dressing table may be car

REPORT TO PARENTS
BY Or. MARTHA N. ELIOT
Chief. ehildFon's BUFeuU

Having a baby-Wanting a baby
lis affirmation of life.
The fact that more people want
babies than can have them is such
affirmation too.
Unfortunately, in any situation
where demand exceeds supply,
there is a temptation for the greedy
and the unscrupulOus to exploit
the situation for personal gain. So
there has developed a traffic in
babies, for financial gain, one which
has brought with it a whole chain
of unsavOTy circumstances. The
welfare of the child is hardly likely
to be of prime consideration. The
legal and human rights of the ma
tural and the adaptive parents,
too, are apt to get snort shrift.
Stamping out the black mar
ket' in babies, as this traffic has
come to be known, is an exceed
ingly difficult task, perhaps even
more so than eliminating other IL
hcit enterprises, since this one is
so stepped in emotion and since the
motives of the parents at both ends
of the transaction are often of the
best.
Attempts are being made in many
communities to eliminate trading
in babies. Two Of the more recent
ones are of particular interest be,
cause they attempt to get at the
problem from the opposite ends Ot

subject of a talk by Milton Meyer,
a Student Driver instructor in Sus-

GeorgetOwn-DlillsbOrO Rotary Club,
this week.
Mr.. Meyer gave an outline Of
the program, how it is put into
effect in the schools and results
obtained. He stated that at present
there are not enough instructors
available to give instruction to the
number of students in the state who
desire to take the course. He said
Milford chronicle., 1954-11-05

that a check of records disclosures
that students who have graduated
from the Student Driver Training
course, have 80 per cent less acci-
dents than those who did not re-
ceive the instruction through the
program.
He explained the driving tests
and the written tests which are
given to all driver students and
by way Of illustrating the written
tests he gave to members Of the
club.
J. Herbert Nichols, principal oi

He is a married man and the

daughter is a graduate nurse and
another daughter is serving with
the YMCA in the armed forces
The youngest son is an honor stu

We are not married and there

He owns his own debt free home
on the North side and recently
purchased another building on
speculation.
We live IN a rented room
He has been active in his church
and on several occasions filled the
pulpit when the pastor was absent.
We do not have comparable

He drives a late model Gutomo-

We are bus rider.
He is a ward chairman for his
party intimate with state Off

We have not even been eau

He said he has always been a
God fearing. law abiding man and
that he does not owe cent OF

that if a plus sign would be placed

would have the right TO ask for
segregation Would il be the man
with the most plus marks or the
fellow with the smallest total?
We cite our individual case be-
cause we know more about it than
we do about any other case his
tory. Although we may not be
exactly proud OF some of the
things we have done, we without
attempting to boast, can find
