Women Advised
To Care For
Beauly helns
By ALICIA HART,
NEA Beauty Editor
The care you give your make-up
utensils will definitely show in
the results you get with them. You
can’t expect a clogged rmascara
brush to sweep your eyes %
beauty, or a powder-caked puff to
smooth your skin to perfection.
You can never over-do cleanli
ness, especially when it involves
your personal grooming. Get into
the habit of washing your comhb
and brush twice a week, Hairnets
and bobby pins get soiled too. They
certainly should be sudsed once a
week. Also remember to keep the
hair grooming aids you carry in
your purse immaculately clean.
Throw them in the water with
your regular comb and brush.
Never use a make-up sponge or
puff (for rouge, foundation base
or powder) twice without washing
it. This is especially imiportant for
the health of vour skin as well as
its beauty. Use a cotton puff
whenever possible. Then you can
throw it away after the applica
tion.
Keep your mascara brush clean
by wiping off any excess with a
tissue, and then washing the brush
under the hot water faucet,
It will only take a minute, but
the next time you want to apnly
mascara to your eyelashes, the
brush will be in perfect condition.
Don't use worn-down emery
boards or allow your nail polish
brush to get stiff. Keen all bottles
of make-up preparations tightly
closed.
If the necks of the bottles get
sticky, wipe them clean with a
tissue.
As far as your creams are con
cerned, when the jars are half
full, transfer the remaining
amount to plastic containers. This
keeps the creams frori forming a
crust at the bottom of the jars.

HANDY NEW SEWING KIT FOR
KEEPING GROOMING NEAT
By ALICIA MART
NEA Beauty Editor
A STITCH in time may well
save you from giving the im
pression of careless grooming. And
since you never know when a
hanging button or open seam may
cause you embarrassment, make it
a habit always to be prepared.
One of the newest aids in help
ing you look your best is a purse
size sewing kit for emergency re
pairs. Available in red, green and
navy blue washable vinyl plastic,
the kit contains a mnickel-plated
steel scissors, eight fashion
selected colors of thread, buttons,
needles and pins.
An inexpensive, compact kit of
this type can easily be slipped into
a desk drawer at the office, carried
in your purse, or placed in the
glove compartment of your car.
When you are doing vour sewing
repairs, whether you plan them to
be temporary or not, take pains to
match the threads, and keep your
stitches neat and out of sight.
But an emergency sewing kit is
just that—and no more. Don’t de
pend on it completely. Before you
dress, check your clothes and make
any repairs that are necessary,
better-dressed woman if you do.
A doctor says the human nose
is becoming sharper. That do
esn‘t mean you shouldn’'t keep
your to the grinstone.

Cifadel Cadets “Go Over Top”
In Recent Red Cross Blood Drive
Regimental Commander’ Floyd
C. Adams, jr., son of Mr. and Mrs.
Floyd C. Adams of 772 Cobb
street, Athens, addressed the Ca
det Corps of the Citadel, Charles
ton, S. C. in behalf of the Red
Cross Drive and stated, “Citadel
men are serving in the Armed
Forces in every part of the globe
and we who may soon be called to
the service of our country must
follow their example of unselfish
duty when called upon. It is up to
us to go over the top.”
The Citadel did go “over the
top” in the donations of blood to
the Red Cross in its nation wide
campaign for the Armed Service
in Korea.
#Out to better the fine showing
that they made last November
when volunteering by Citadel men
was so heavy that the Red Cross
had to turn away more cadets
than the number they were able
to handle, the Corps this time do
nated 613 units of blood to the
Red Cross, thereby setting new
records for itself, and the state.
Red Cross officials were hard
put to handle all of the boys who
volunteered blood but by taking
52 men per hour, in rush hours,
for two days, the total amount of
615 units were taken.
79 Per Cent Gave Blood
Figures compiled by the cadet
staff indicated that 70 per cent of
the eligible men within the Cadet
Corps gave blood.
In charge of the program,
planned weeks before for maxi
mum efficiency, was Cadet H. P.
Duvall, of Cheraw, S. C., regi
mental executive officer, who was
assisted by Casets P. R. Bobo, of
Aurora, 11, M. G. Florence, of
Miami, Fla.; and W. K. Evans, of

IS 1T FAIR?
To Athens Housing Authority Board and Fellow
Citizens:
The following are the facts concerning three of
the many homeowners who live in the areas pro
posed as sites for the two low rent housing projects.
Last October the Athens Housing Authority stated
that two-thirds of the families living in these areas
were homeowners and that they should not be dis
placed.
Homeowner I—Consists of man, his wife, three
children and his mother. He is a veteran of the last
war, served as an officer 514 years, was overseas
three years. His wife taught school and saved
money while he was in service so that their joint
savings could buy a home. This home on Baxter
Street was bought in 1946 for $3,550.00. Since then
the family has spent over $3,500.00 additional cash
on doubling the floor space and in remodeling and
re-wiring the house, the Owner doing most of the
labor himself. He is a salaried man with no other
property. This Homeowner is offered only $2,500.00
for his property by the Athens Housing Authority
Negotiators. This man is in the Reserve Corps of the
Army, subject to call at any time. Is this fair treat
ment for him and his family ?
Homeowner 2—This Owner is a woman in her
eighties, who has lived in her home on Newton
Street for twenty years. She derives most of her in
come from renting out part of her five-room home,
She spent $900.00 on improvements on her home
last year but is now offered only $2,300.00 for her
home and lot. Her age would make it impossible for
her to secure a loan to buy another home. Is this
fair treatment ? =
Homeowner 3—This Owner is doubly affected.
He lives with his wife and 4 children on Baxter
Street and operates a grocery store on Rock Spring
Street. He lives in the site of the proposed white
area and operates a store in the proposed site of
the negro housing area. He is a veteran of the last
war. He bought his home in 1944 and its is evalu
ated by Dun and Bradstreet at $9,000.00. He has
redecorated it and added a basement apartment
since he purchased this property. His only offer
from the Athens Housing Authority has been
$5,600.00. For the past five years he has operated
his grocery on Rock Spring Street. He has been told
that he will have to move his business but does not
know when. This will move him away from his cus
tomers and will necessitate finding a new location,
plus_; the expense of moving. With his home and his
business threatened, is this fair treatment for this
Homeowner?
Within the last two weeks Mayor Jack Wells
has appointed two members of the five-member
Board of the Athens Housing Authority, and there
is a third vacancy yet to be filled. We urge these
new members and the other members of the Board
to hold a public hearing for the citizens of Athens
so that a full discussion of the proposed sises can be
held before any definite action is taken. We urge
our fellpw citizens to sign one of the many petitions
requesting this Board to grant a hearing.

Duvall pointed out that the vol
untary program was “nothing less
than good insurance, insurance
against our troop units lacking the
necessary blood if wounded and
insurance that our country’s stock
phe will be at its highest peak in
time of emergency.”
The bloodmobile set up shop in
the Cadet Armory on Monday,
February 25, and worked on
through the day and up until 4
p. m. Tuesday afternoon. It was
staffed by a Corps of nurses and
doctors, who processed the long
lines of cadets and sent them rap
idly to another section of the ar
mory which was set aside with
reclining tables and transfusion
apparatus.
Treated to a snack of orange
juice, coffee and crackers after
the “operation,” Cadet Al Mala
carne, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., said
that “the snack had all the signi
ficance of a ‘victory banquet’ be
cause it meant that we were help
ing to bring victory, to the best
of our abilities, while in school.”
A further “reward” was an
nounced to the Corps at retreat
formation, when the cadet reg
mental commander relaxed
fourthclass regulations for two
days for all plebes who had do
nated blood. The cheers followed
that announcement indicated that
almost everyone had been to the
Bloodmobile.
Cadets will be given the ehance
to donate again in May, when the
Red Cross Bloodmobile was asked
by the Corps to visit The Citadel
campus for the third time.
“And this time,” Cadet Adams
said, “the motto will be: ‘the
blood will flow like water.™
