In an address to the American
Jewish Congress national cxccu-
tive committee, Justice Policr
charged that the newcomer ira
ditional American dream of rising
from ignorance and poverty had
been shattered as a result Of
segregation imposed on Negro
and Puerto Rican immigrants in
housing, job opportunities and
education.
To meet this situation, Justice
Polier called for a broad and
sweeping attack on the challenge
that every large city in the ma
ton faces slums, discrlmina-
ton and human neglect. "
Justice Polier is chairman of
the American Jewish Congress
national executive committee and
presided at the meeting. Her
proposals were endorsed by the
Al Congress policy-making body
in resolution.

Who hasn't been bothered by chapped hands or
lips? The rOughened, cracked reddish skin is not
caused by disease, but it is condition that can be
uncomfortable, painful dstressingy itchy. 1t sell
dom persists longer than the cold dry windy weather
that usually causes it.
Although chapping sounds like simple disorder,
in spite of recent advances in our knowledge of the
and actual process all the why's and where
fores concerning it are not yet fully understood.
Since one of the commOnest and most effective
remedies is to apply cream lotion, it was long
believed that chaPping due to loss of natural
oils in the horny layer" the thin outermost
layer of the skin. Recent experiments have shown,
however, that it is not oil which is lacking in chapped
skin, but Uater Laboratory demonstrations showed
that amount of oil will make skin soft and flexible
once it has dried out, but small amount of water
will restore the skin to its normal suppleness.
Why, then, does the patient find that applying

cleaned dressed, = and he chapped all over, so
severely that the operation postponed. To over
come ~chaPping, he was basted with oily lotions
for several days. The chapping only got worse
Finally, when two humidi6ers put in his room,
and all the walls dripped with moisture, his chapping
cleared up and he was ready for surgery.
One mystery of chapping causes considerable diff
6cuty in laboratory experimentation. 1t is extremely
difficult to make test subject chap in summer.
Regardless of how dry the air is, at tempera-
lures people ordinarily just do not chap. In spite of
ingenious experiments, the role that cold plays in
the chapping process is largely mystery.
For your comfort, then, our current knowledge
leads to these recommendations: Keep indoor air
fairly moist If necessary, cut down on the baths
you take in winter. If chapping does
occur, use the tried-and-true creams \A
