CURAD-the bandage that wmi mm cab off New CURAD with non-sticking Telfa pad won't hurt when you take it off... won't reopen healing wounds Not this! Bandage with ordinary gauze pad sometimes pulls off scab, reopens wound, causes bleeding. Here's why: The pad in the Curad adhesive bandage is the exclu sive new Telfa. Telfa is "the mercy dressing" that the nation's leading hospi tals are using to prevent damage to healing skin tissue . . . speed wound recovery. It has a plastic surface with scores of tiny holes in it that does the trick allows wound to drain, but doesn't stick to the scab. So when you take it off, it won't re open the cut. Don't take a chance on hurting your children. Get a new Curad (the waterproof plastic bandage with germ-fighting medication right in the pad, too). Bauer Black DIVISION OF THE KENDALL COMPANY Now this! CURAD Band age with Telfa pad, free of scab, peels off without sticking to wound, doesn't hurt. ii 1 in ill & $-y r Sermon In a Hive. As a newcomer to town, and consequently a stranger church, I was appalled the first Sunday to see a swarm of wasps Hying about, sometimes lighting on the pews or members of the congregation. With a few others, I followed L their flight apprehensively. The minister, noticmg the heads weaving about, interrupted his sermon momentarily to tell us gently that the wasps had been around for years and that only once, when a member tried to kill one, had anyone ever been stung. "The wasps are God's creatures, too," he said. "Pay them no mind, and they'll do you no harm." He was right, for neither then nor at any time since have they disturbed a service. It was prob ably the best sermon I've ever heard on "live and let live." Ted Kyle, Casper, Wyo. The Confident Campaigner. Recently a bunch of us teen-agers hitch-hiked to another town 50 miles away to visit friends. We got ten rides going and r l i w r lour dhck. One of the rides was with a man who was run ning in some election. He made 11 the stops along the way, giving people his card. Each time he went into a filling station or store he left the car key in the ignition and the motor running. It wasn't an important incident, I guess, but it made us feel good to know someone could trust a bunch of teen-agers like that. Paul Bridget, Jackson Tenn. Fair Exchange. My father, a minister, stopped one Saturday at a shoe shine stand to try to get the operator to come to church next day. "I'll have you shine my shoes today," he said, "if you promise to come to services tomorrow." "I'll do that!" was the surprisingly quick reply. The shoes received an extra-good shine but when my father stepped down and drew money to pay for it, the man held up his hand. "I'll shine your shoes free each Saturday," he said, "if you shine my soul each Sunday." Leslie Dunkin, South Bend, Ind. Hosteis with the Mattes'. Weary from shopping, I stopped in a department store dining room and was escorted to a table by a tall, sleek, well-dressed hostess with an impersonal and decidedly superior air. She marched me to a chair, tossed me a menu, and promptly washed her hands of me. Waiting, I noticed the other hostess. Short, dumpy, inconspicuously dressed, she was bustling about a young mother and her two energetic young children, taking the mother's bundles, finding extra-high chairs for the children, engaging them in conversation, and sharing their obvious delight in the wonders of a lunch downtown! Struck by the contrast, I did something unusual for me I compli mented her. To my amazement, she took my hand and said, "God bless you for that I've just been told that I'm being replaced tomorrow. They didn't think I was the 'right type' for a place like this." Mrs. W. M., Mansfield, O. We Pay $10 far Your Letters. We welcome your views on any subject of general interest.
