the makeup team. 1t is the
most noticeable thing in the whole
makeup picture. 1t is the first
visible evidence, easily seen from
across the room, and, since first
impressions are lasting ones, it
is often the most remembered
facet Of a Woman's appearance.
In order to attain real makeup
perfection, all parts of the process
must do their part. However, a
poor lipstiCk application can ruin
the appearance in spite of the other
preparations. Don't drop the ball"
when you apply lipstick.
The proper method of applying
lipstiCk is with a brush. This
affords control of the shape that
is not guaranteed with the unwieldy
tube. The brush should be loaded
with color, and replenished often
to insure an easy flow of color.
In applying, close your mouth
in a natural, relaxed position.
Then, starting with the upper lip,
brush the color along the lower
lip departing from the natu-
raj contour when necessary to
create the desired shape. In
making this outline, work from
the center outward to the corner
of the mouth. After the upper
outline is complete, fill in the
color on the upper lip.
The next step is to outline and
fill in the lower lip, checking the
lip and expression in profile.
Take care to bring the two sides
into balance and define the edges.
Then join the upper lip to the
lower lip on the inside of the cor
ners Of the mouth.
Excess color can be removed
by pressing the lips together over
clean tissue. A gentle plotting
OF the corners is also advisable.
The effect of lipstick is largely
due to the choice of color. For
the latest in fashion, try combining
Colors Extra drama can be "a
chieved by using two shades of
lipstiCk. Outline your lips with
a dark or medium color, and then
fill in with a lighter shade; the
effect will give you a beauty ex-
Clusively yours.

Of
GOV. JOHN 2. MERWIN
Thursday. June Is. 1860
7:I5 P. M.
(continued from Saturdayl

NAO1I1llUGu nO1u Saturday
On the other hand, the Admin
istration sent down to the Legis-
lature d number of other bills
needed either for vital operations
or to amend the Code to bring
efficiency and stability to certain
executive operations. In the main
these proposals were adopted by
the Legislature.
OF the IS bills which were
vetoed by me during the Session.
the Legislature reconsidered and
repassed four over my veto. Il
should like to discuss them IN
some detail. ! shall take up these
items one at q time, explain the
reason for my veto in each case,
and then state the final action I
have taken on each one.
Let Us begin with the Food Dis
ribution Bill which was unani
mously passed over my veto.
This bill provides that the Gov
eminent of the Virgin Islands
shall apply Tor and obtain surplus
foodstuffs from the United States
Department of Agriculture for
distribution to needy persons. OF
course, in various public discus
sions on this matter, no one has
seen fit to bring out that the Vir-
gin Islands are already utilizing
surplus foods in the ways they
can best be used without affect
ing the public morale. These foods
are used in the several institu-
lions, in the hospitals, and IN the
school lunch program Surplus
milk is made available to expec-
tant and nursing mothers attend
ing the Maternity Clinics. Scout
ing summer camps also receive
allotments Of these surplus foods.
In my opinion. to widen the
program to include direct distri
button Of foodstuffs to families Is
to strike q blow at the moral fiber
Of the community. Besides the
damage to the public morale, a
wide program Of food distribu-
ton would adversely affect the
economy Of the islands by reduc-
ing the sales and the income Of
the islands by reducing the sales

and the income Of merchants, and
by reducing government revenues
from import, sales and income
taxes. Many Of the oldtimers in
our communities are familiar
with the fasco-the near public
acandal-which resulted from the
free distribution of foodstuffs in
these islands in the early thirties
Contrary to law certain families
trafficked in those foodstuffs they
did not want or could not eat, and
the federal foods sometimes APP
peared on grocery shelves. There
was waste and spoilage which
grealy reduced the amount and
the value of the food distributed.
In my message vetoing this bill,
I clearly stated these objections
and, III addition, | pointed out that
the cost to the islands in onevat-
ing such a free food program
would be more soundly and wise
" invested if put into the Public
Assistance Program, where the
federal government adds one
dollar for each local dollar ex-
pended for assistance and admin
istration. Too otter foods helpful
to one client are unacceptable and
even injurious to others. On the
Oti1SI manu-, CdSH assistance can De
and is used by each client to
cover whatever, in his judgment
are his own greatest needs,
whether food or other items. Sur
plus foods with its bread lines OF
clients calling at central depots
for food al1otments, in my opin-
ion, lowers the dignity and the
self-respect of the applicants
while public assistance. with
checks forwarded through the
mail, protects the dignity and the
self-respect of persons who have.
unfortunately, fallen into need.
The Legislature, however, saw
fit to disagree with me on this bill
and, as Ihave already said, unani-
mously passed it over my veto. I
had two choices-either to APP
prove the bin now. or to dis
approve it and to send it to the
President for his approval or dis
approval, / could not disturb the
President of the United States
with an item of this kind which
can and should be settled locally.

this bill into law and ! shall di-
