Navy's newest
escort destroyer
named Blakely

Louisiana and the Gulf Coast

Launched at the Avondale 9iip
yards, with Rep. F. Edward He
bert (D., La.) as the principal
speaker, the 4000-ton vessel Is
the third ship to be named in
honor of Capt. Johnston Blak
ely. The ship’s sponsor was
Mrs. Robert J. Morgan, great
great-granddaughter of Capt.
Blakely and daughter of the late
Vice Adm. C. A. Blakely.
Earlier ships named after
Blakely were a torpedo boat
(1900), and a destroyer, (1919),
The new escort destroyer is
438 feet long, has a 47-foot

GOOD GRIEF!
An anti-perspirant that loses
its "anti” after the first hour
can make the best morning "put
together" fall apart, no matter
how careful you are about hair,
make-up and the other good
grooming essentials.
But it doesn’t have to be that
way. There's a new "time re
lease" anti-perspirant available
with specially-formulated in
gredients that become active
when they come in contact
with moisture. Introduced by
the makers of Dial soap, the
new Dial aerosol anti-perspirant
helps protect against perspira
tion wetness and odor through
the day.
