PAGE TWO Bonner Investigating War Surplus Charges News and Observer Says War Surplus Proper ty Given Away Inter-GovernmentaKJßelations 'Sub committee Chairman Herbert C. Bon ner (D-NC) last week instructed offi cials of the Federal Security Agency, the Department of Defense, General Services, and the Bureau of the Bud get to draft a point statement in an swer to charges of a North Carolina newspaper. The Raleigh News and Observer last week charged in a news story and later in an editorial that war surplus property is being given away by the government which is at the same time having to buy some of the same type material for military expansion. Congressman Bonner, who immedi ately initiated an investigation, order ed the joint statement drawn up after a two hour hearing this morning at which Nathan R. Brodsky of the De partment of Defense admitted that er-1 rors in administrating such a vast! surplus disposal program are inevi-. table. Brodsky declared, however, that no usuable material is being disposed ofj knowingly. He pointed out that ma-, terial is screened and rescreened to as-, certain whether it is usuable before it i is turned loose. Dr. Arthur L. Harris of the Office of Education under the Federal Se curity Agency, acknowledged that sur plus material is still being given away under the donable educational-aid program but that the program is be ing curtailed by repeated screening. He explained that only out-dated equipment for which replacement parts are hard to find are disposed of now. Maxwell Elliott of the General Ser vices Administration, in answer to a direct query from Mr. Bonner, said that all means have not been taken to stop the disposition of surplus which may be needed. He hastened to ex plain, however, that “all known meth ods” are being employed. He said, there are still flaws in the program and that “holes will have to be plug ged as they appear.” Bureau of the Budget representative Ray Ward explained to the subcom mittee the difficulty of syncronizing j the big buying and disposal programs. Congressman Bonner, in a statement following the meeting, declared: “Wej are keeping on our toes watching this thing. We will use every possible es- | fort to stop waste and yet let the | military have everything which is I needed.” Mr. Bonner said that the statement from the various agencies will proba bly be ready for release by Friday evening. Representatives of the agen cies went into a huddle this after noon to prepare the statement. REGULARPritT^ SINCLAIR W OPALINE 75? H-C gasoline sign Edenton Oil Co. W. J. YATES, Manager Phone 158 Edenton, N. C. « | HEALTH FOR AU | 11 The skin ailment known as “acne vulgaris,” characterized by the chronic appearance of facial pimples and ’blackheads, is a fairly common afflic ' tion. Doctors estimate that more than half the population in this country is subject to it at some time or other. Acne occurs most frequently, and with greatest severity, in boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 25. - j At one time, acne was considered just I “part of adolescence,” and ignored as ■ j something that would be “outgrown” I I eventually. A ’ l Doctors today feel that acne, es pecially when neglected, can be very I serious. Even when acne is only a ' temporary facial disfigurement, it can ’ do a person permanent harm, leaving I I “mental scars” as well as physical ' ones. A person, particularly a sensi tive adolescent, who suffers from the facial blemishes of acne, might de -1 velop feelings of shyness, extreme re serve, or inferiority which can carry into adulthood and cause him much misery and unhappiness. Acne is the medical term for chronic ; inflammation of the oil glands and lhair follicles of the skin. The for ! mation of numerous pimples and black- I heads is the skin’s attempt to wall I in these tiny infections and keep them j from spreading and getting into the bloodstream. I There are different types of acne due to various causes, and the doctor or ! dermatologist is the person to de termine the cause and prescribe the j right treatment. The sooner the con dition gets medical attention, the bet ter the chance of arresting or curing it. “Home care” or neglect frequently spread the blemishes or even encour age the development of more serious infection. Acne is often stubborn to cure, but medical research is constantly uncov ering treatments for it. A recent ef fective treatment, studied in a Mid west hospital, combined simple ■. diet restrictions and rules of skin clean liness with daily applications of a cosmetic-like antiseptic lotion. The simplicity and economy of the treat ment, practicable for the medical doc-i tor as well as the skin specialist, of fers new hope to the acne victim. But again, all treatment of acne should be under the supervision and advice of the doctor. No one has ever died of acne, but thousands of people allow it to make them miserable because they do not realize that simple medical care can I help or cure the unsightly condition.

C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1950 Amu Hove you ever seen a prairie chick en? Have you ever shot one? This I bird was once our most widely dis. | tributed native grouse, one of our most fabulously abundant game birds. ; Yet many of you hardly know the bird i at all, either by sight or over a gun > barrell. The whole sad story of the prairie chicken is a paradox. His is a story , that traces exactly the history of l man’s use and abuse of our natural resources. It’s a .story of soil, grass, . plows and guns. It’s the all time j classic, demonstrating the complete dependence of wildlife upon specific , habitat. Perhaps the most startling factor of the prairie chicken picture is that , we have studied and worked so little with the species. Yet the immigrant pheasant has had ftlmost unlimited sympathy and assistance, while the na tive chicken has been left to disappear virtually by default. It is popularly supposed that mar ket slaughter and summer hunting without bag limits were the decisive | points in the chicken’s decline. But Bvron Dalrymple, who just completed an 18-month survey of the situation for Sports Afield, discussed this with game men from 25 conservation de- 1 partments, with 'Pittman-Robertson project men and others. They concede that the slaughter certainly hurried the debacle along. But without a single exception their answers were that the real culprit was agricultural abuse of the land. In other words, destruction of natural habitat is the only basic reason we have almost .no prairie chicken hunting today. Con versely, given somewhat altered land use, which would include abundant grasslands, we could perhaps once again have good chicken hunting over a wide territory—some 15 states and prairie provinces! Game men are eager to do some , thing about the situation. Unfortu nately, they can’t without a real de mand from us, the sportsmen. Ef fective chicken work requires funds. Enough demand would quickly result in channeling public conservation money into chicken research, and ac tual restoration efforts. I have not the slightest doubt that if money for long-term study and rea. No Alcohol No Add No Sting For quick relief and good results get the famous VICTORY OINT MENT.
