Government Approves Beauty Aids as Builders of Morale Bt Nell B urkhardt United Press Staff Correspondent Hollywood U.R) Ladies, you don't have to worry anymore about war and the national defense program interfering with your beauty, because the experts now claim that cosmetics are essential to a nation's civilian morale.
