SELF-CLEANING
HOUSE PAINT
developed by DU PONT
"ThU PONT House Paint keeps
-Lf white houses white, because
this brilliantly white paint is
“self-cleaning. ” It forms a tough,
durable film which protects the
surface from rust, jot, or decay.
Like all paints, it collects dirt on
exposure to the elements. As timo
goes on, however, a fine white
powder forms on the surface of
this new paint. This powder is
washed away by heavy rains,
carrying the dirt with it and
exposing a fresh white surface.
Thiaself-clcaning process starts
‘ter a few months of exposure1
er normal conditions of wea-
but may be delayed under
sual dirt-collecting condi-
such as found in sooty in-
strialareas. Because the'‘self<• •*
cleaning” process is gradual, the
wearing qualities of the paint
film are not abnormally affected.
Stays WHITE because
it’s "Self-Cleaning”
•
Is easy and lost‘to
apply—has excellent
hiding quality
Lasting beauty and
protection
Available in light COLORS,tool
The new Du Pont Tru-Tint for-
mula gives you lovely light colors
withthesamesuper-valueresults.
Like the white paint, these col-
ors are “self-cleaning.” Du Pont
House Paint costs no more than
other good paints . . . is more
economical because it needs fewer
rrpaintings. Next t ime you paint,
ask your painter to use Du Pont
House Paint!

Opening Games
The 1942 U. S. O.-Camp Hulen
Softball League opened Friday
night with a concert by the Bay
City High School Band and one of
the largest crowds on any first
night.
The concert lasted until 8:30
o'clock and was thoroughly enjoyed
by those present.
The first game between Station
Hospital and Area 12 was a pitch-
ing duel and, after the first inning,
in which the Station made three
runs, they were held to only two
runs during the rest of the tilt. The
score ended, 5-0.
With a little more team-work.
Area 12 should develop into a real
ball club since many of the boys
have played together and were
camp champions before moving to
Hulen.
The second game between Bay
City and Headquarters was won by
the locals. This was an off-night
for Headquarters but railbirds aver
that this team should be watched
in the future.
Bay City is now tied with Station
Hospital for first place.
The brand of ball now being play-
ed this year is much faster than
last year and the league will be
only played two nights a week,
Wednesdays and Fridays, starting
at 8 o’clock, the first tilt ending
at 9:10, with ten-minute intermis-
sions, nnd the second game starts
at 9:20 and ends at 10:30.
“We would like to urge all teams
and players to try to help run our
schedule this year on time so that
Army teams can get back to camp
and that the neighbors can get
some sleep,” one official said.
Mrs. Bertie Henry of Houston
was the house guest of Mr. and
Mrs. Jack Ervin and Mrs. Nance
last week-end.
