'Fair Play' Is Urged
For Catholic Schools
The board of the National
Council of Catholic Women
called on fellow Americans 'to ,
manifest to us that spirit of
fair play and good will which ;
is in the best American tra- j
dition.”
The plea was part of f state
ment, issued yesterday jby the
board, which termed the
Catholic school system in the
United States "a remarkable
manifestation of all that our j
country stands for: Freedom
of the individual to live ac
cording to the dictates of con
science, his willingness to work j
and sacrifice for principle, and :
his spirit of independence and j
self-reliance.”
Although it was not spelled 1
out in the statement, a spokes
man for the National Council
said that the call for “fair I
play' was a reference to the
statement issued a few weeks |
ago by the Catholic bishops of
the United States.
The bishops urged the in
clusion of parochial schools in ;
the distribution of Federal ;
funds for "auxiliary" services j
to school children, such as \
health and welfare programs
and bus transportation.

which concluded its annual
three-day meeting here yes- :

the cost of great personal and
financial sacrifice by millions
of Catholics who at the same
time contribute their full share I
to the cost of public educa- :
tion. the system is a tribute to
all who have made possible its
establishment and growth. It
is a unique demonstration of ;
American private and group !
enterprise at its best."

statement, the council board: I
1. Reiterated its recommen

with all seriousness their re

inhuman cruelty and debase

WHY GROW OLD?
- Complexion
May Reveal
Body Health
By JOSEPHINE LOWMAN
There is no dbubt about the
fact that our complexion re
flects our general condition to
a remarkable degree. It we
are anemic we look pale or
sallow. If we have poisons in
our body they may erupt in
j pimples.
When we eat a well-balanced
diet we have good nutrition
and splendid elimination and
i our skin is apt to be lovely
and clear.
There is no one miracle food
so far as complexion beauty
is concerned. However, lots
of fresh fruits and green and
yellow vegetables, fruit Juices,
eggs, lean meat and tohole
grain products, add up to
health and good looks.
Research indicates that an
adequate amount of milk may
increase life expectancy and
! certainly adds to the bloom
' of both complexion and dally |
life.
If you have an oily skin
and are troubled with black
heads you will be wise tg cut
i down on the fats in your diet.
; These are hard to digest and
may have a bad effect on your
complexion. Some women And
that chocolate causes pimples
whenever they eat much of it.
