The relation between German
measles and injury to the unborn
child was unknown until in 194l
an Australian eye doctor observed
an unusual number of babies with
an eye disease which led TO blind
ness. He finally tied these unusual
cases in babies to an explosive epi-
demic Of German measles the year
before. He published his hypOthe-
sis which has been abundantly con-
flrmed since then. Not only blind
ness, but deafness, heart disease
and mental retardatiOn frequently
occur in babies whose mothers had
German measles during the first
three months of pregnancy. The
disease does very little harm to the
mother but the virus circulating In
her blood can play havoc with her
developing baby.
Since the relationship Of German
measles and injury to unborn ba-
bies has been definitely known
much work has been done to try
and find some way Of avoiding such
disasters.
Medical science has not come uI
with any real solution. No method
OF immunizing against German
measles has been found.
The best way to be safe is tC
have the disease in childhood. Ger
man measles is very mild. If yoI

Need Extra
Hand Care

Hand care involves a small in
vestment in time, money, or both. I
Girls who bathe their faces IN
luxury often neglect their hands,
leaving tell-tale imprints Of their
carelessness.
Notice the typist. She's likely to
have broken nails. You can some
times tell a file clerk by her hang
nails. Factory work is likely to
keep workers hands and nails
edgeo IN black, too. These hands
marks are more than Occupational,
however, and do not improve with
time.
If a girl is doomed to brittle
nails, naturally they'll break at a
typewriter. But il she recognizes
that they snap OF when tipping or
pulling up a girdle, and keeps
them short and rounded she'll not
have the problem For some reason
though, these girls are addicted to
long pointed finger nails in var
ious degrees Of length, the result
Of constant breakage. Frequent
buf1ngs, oil massage and a weekly
manicure will help.
Hangnails often are caused by
having the cuticle cut too close.
A little medication over q bad
hangnaiI and an adhesive strip to
keep it protected, will aid healing,
IL one finger seems more trouble
some in this respect, the problem
is easily solved by wearing a rub
Der cover over the nail. These may
be bought in stationery stores.
Factory girls might avert tbeiI
problem by wearing one of the pro-
tective creams before starting 9
messy job. Rub the cream under
the nails too. It'll make it easier
to remove dirt after the job is done

Measles, sometimes called red
measles or regular measles, is a
serious disease that almost every
one has some time in life. Usually
q comes in childhood II begins
with a fever, cough, runny nose
and red inhammed eyes. These
symptoms last for a few days, then
a rash appears. Fevers go pretty
high IN measles and the youngsters
are quite sick. Measles is very
communicable and so often Occrts
in epidemics. One attack Of ldeasles
usually leaves a life time immunity
German measles, or three-day
measles, on the other hand is a
very mild disease. There may be
a slight fever (Often there is none
at all) and a rash. The rash looks
something like the rash Of measles,
but here's where the similarity be-
tween the two diseases ends. With
German measles there is no cough,
no running nose, no red eyes. The
disease Is mild and short lived. The
first symptom is usually the rash
while with regular measles the
child is sick for several days be-
fore the rash appears. When you
hear the story that child broke
ont with measles In school you can
be pretty sure it's German measles
With regular measles the yOungs-
ter is at home in bed when the rash
appears.
German measles like regular
measles leaves a lifetime immun-
ity.
If this we're the end Of the story
on German measles we could al
most forget about such an incon-
sequential disease.
Unfortunately German measles
has one very serious aspect. i
the disease is acquired during the
first three months of pregnancy i
may do serious harm to the unborn
baby.

For Better Public Relations

The NATIONAL Capital Planning Commits
sion has made a sensible and long-overdue
move in opening its sessions to the press.
Too much secrecy in the past has deprived
the public of information to which it was
entitled. Sometimes this has led to misun
derstandings of NCPC purposes and policies.
Frequently decisions have been reached be-
hind closed doors and announced without
adequate explanation. Such procedures
cannot contribute to public understanding
and support of the commissions important
work.
Under the changes effected by Chair
man Harland Bartholomew, the commission
hereafter will admit reporters to general
meetings of the agency, reserving for execu-
tive sessions various technical personnel
and other matters not regarded as proper
subjects for public discussion. A committee
system for handling such preliminary stu
dies will be set up. The reforms will be well
coined by those who have been concerned
over the standoffish attitude of the agency
in the past Public confidence in the COM
mission should be enhanced by the new
policy.

Spires Of the Spirit
Churchill at Church

In q time gravely afflicted with
mediocrity we have lived with great
ness. 1t has dwelt among us wrapped
in Puckish package named Winston
Churchill. Someone suggested for him
the admiring tag, combining his spirit
and his appearance. 1.-THE pugnacious
cherub"
Now he has stepped out-but not
down. A man is what he is. not where
he is. A pedestal only exhibits him
and. of course, gives him space to grow.
A puny person posing on high
pedestal is enough to make angels
weep and mortals laugh. You can't

badge for real vIP out Of similar
material. To make him great, 'sGood

In speaking Of the accomplished
companion of these eventful years, Mr..
Churchill flashed one Of his verbal
gems, matching in sparkle the diamond
he gave her long ago. He said: What
could be more glorious than to be
united in ones way through life with
being incapable of an ignoble
thought?"
We in America never can forget the
sensational thrill when. in the very
month of disastrous Pearl Harbor, it
was announced that the British Chief
of State had flown the Atlantic-long

paralysis of nation and stood 1t upon

eagles Of the air held back the threat

Virginia next fall.
I believe that kindergarten educa =

remotely tend to make my child bet

would not be accomplished by the skills
that he would begin to develop but
rather through the grounding in certain
fundamentals. such as group discipline.

will directly affect his capacities as q
student in later years.

Mrs. Burdette seems to have forgotten
a third, less vociferous group interested
in the establishment of public kinder
gartenS. This group, probably much
larger than the seekers of free baby
sitters and the members Of the school
board, comprises the many thousands
of parents who also enjoy teaching
their children at home and recognize
the shortcomings of our schools. but
who also realize that lessons at home

Of Churchill which resounded in every
English. city and village and country
lane, after the disaster of Dunkirk:
Eve shall defend our island, whatever
the cost may be. We shall fight on the
beaches. We shall fight on the landing
grounds. We shall fight In the fields
and on the streets. We shall fight in
the hills. We shall never surrender"
Years later, the man whose words
had been terrible as an army with ban
ners was referred to as the lion in Eng
lands most desperate hour. He replied:
mo, wasn't the British lion. was
just the roar" But that roar was a
mighty factor In saving England-and
civilization.
On his arrival in Washington in that
stunned month Of perf1dy, with England
practically under the guns of the gang
sters and America smarting from her
grievous Pearl Harbor wound, the total
outlook was one to chisel lines of
anxiety in the faces of Prime Minister
and President. Christmas was but
few days away. Being told by the
President the day after his arrival that
he planned to attend national service
of all the churches Of the Capital, In
Foundry Methodist Church, on Christ
mas Day, Mr.. Churchill at once said
that he greatly desired to accompany
our Chief Executive.
That service proved to be, perhaps.
the most publicized and most heavily
guarded occasion in our national an
mails. The physical presence Of these
two leaders Of the free world sitting
side by side in the same church pew
symbolized to the world. on this their
first public appearance together, the
linking of the United States and
Britain in the crusade to crush tyranny.
Afterward, Mr.. Roosevelt wrote to those
conducting that historic service: II
