CLOSE to two hundred men, women and children
were fleeing the heat of this past week-end and en
joyed the coolness of the atmosphere and the re
laxation obtained at Sandy Point. The scene re
minded one of any resort area, with the exception
of the refreshment booths, bath houses, brightly col
ored buoys, and amusement concessions. Several
motor boat parties glided by, adding to the gay
scene. If this many will turn out for the swimming
in water which is claimed to be polluted, perhaps
this would be a good indication of what could be
done with a well organized program at the pool on

for day and night. (Or they could he provided with not too much
trouble and on a self-sustaining basis, too). There are provisions on
the base for tennis, boxing matches, swimming and dining. Golf

trouble. It would be an attraction
also to invite “air guests” from near
by cities, who might want to fly on a
junket or make a leisurely trip to
some point of interest. We have it
here. We could develop it.

Strongly recommends that w*
develop this plan all over the Al

supervision and a series of hos
tels all along a certain planned
out route. "Doc" thinks that
the Albemarle is a natural for
this sort of thing. With so
much history and so much to
see and enjoy, the kids who par
ticipate would gain greatly in
enriching their backgrounds and
in making strong bodies and
minds. (We agree with you
"Doc” and would like to see the
whole Albemarle unite in a ser
ies of "stops” to provide for
week trips at minimum cost to
the youngsters participating, and
with the right "house mothers”
and other supervision on the
way.)

"Tax Holiday Bill”—Governor
Jesus T. Pinero, of Puerto Rico,
has signed a bill which makes
Puerto Rico the only area under
the United States flag where new
industry will operate under a
blanket exemption from income,
property and municipal taxes as
well as excise levies on mach
inery and raw materials. The
most extraordinary feature of
this legislation is the fact that
no income tax, neither Federal
nor Insular, will have to be paid
by industrial enterprises estab
lished on the island- after July
1, 1947.

May Warn of Disordered
Kidney Action
Modern life with its hurry and worry,
irregular habits, improper eating and
drinking—its risk of exposure and infec
tion —throws heavy strain on the work
of the kidneys. They are apt to become
over-taxed and fail to filter excess acid
and other impurities from the life-giving
blood.
You may suffer nagging backache,
headache, dizziness, getting up nights,
leg pains, swelling—feel constantly
tired, nervous, all worn out. Other signs
of kidney or bladder disorder are some
times burning, scanty or too frequent
urination.
Try Doan's Pills. Doan's help the
kidneys to pass off harmful excess body
waste. They have had more than half a
century of public approval. Are recom
mended by grateful users everywhere.
Ask your neighbor!

particularly true of plants oper

and here sound community re
lations should be No. 1 on the
public relations agenda. Presi
dent of a trade association was
chairman of a committee raising
funds for a major community
project in a midwestern indus
trial city. Seven of the largest
employers, operated by out-of
town interests, refused to par
ticipate. That was bad enough,
but the responses of four corpor
ations were almost insulting.
Six of them managed to make
community enemies by saying
such things as: “That’s a laugh
. . . not a cent”, “Not a dime for
such a thing”, and “The project
is not acceptable." The project
was meeting the deficit of the

There are two such systems available I
to you today. One is the Payroll Savings
Plan for buying U. S. Savings Bonds.
The other is the new Bond-a-Month Plan I
for buying U. S. Savings Bonds. I
If you’re on a payroll, then the Payroll 5
Plan is for you. If you’re not eligible for I
the Payroll Plan, but have a checking
account, then your bank will show you 5
how to buy Bonds through the Bond-a- I
Month Plan. 1
Either way, you save regularly, auto- f
maticaDy—and you get back $4 for every I
$3 you save, when the Bonds mature.
For the sake of the fellow in the mirror, * '
better sign up for one of these plans—
