To show how complete was the industry's co-operation, let me cite that during his term as Acting Chief and Chief of the Cosmetic Division, there resulted in that eight years sense of humor. After leaving the office at night, he, like many of us, would stop to get some groceries and a newspaper. Then the bus away from the H/ashington Merry- Go-Round to Takoma Park and home.

Klarmann and Irwin Shupe some 175 legal actions, about 100 of them occurring during the first two years. One quarter of these actions came under the "drug provision" of the Act.

Nothing was further from the truth he always had a make things with his hands. There was plenty of yard to keep trim too, but apparently not enough to shape him up for golf.

Report on Mascaras, Eyebrow Pencils, and Eye Shadows Report on Colored Make-Up Preparations Report on Cosmetic Vanishing Creams Identification of Thioglycolic Acid The Determination of Thioglyco- lares in Depilatories Report on Hair Preparations Determination of Glycerol in Vanishing Creams Notwithstanding all this, the published and unpublished scientific work pertaining to colors, their im- purities, and methods of identifica- tion and estimation, is so vast that it would take an encyclopedia to in- clude it all. And so, Dr. Dan Dahle, distin- guished regulatory official, talented scientist, and gentleman--for ad- ministering your office with scien- tific precision, honesty, forthright- ness, understanding, and fairness-- fairness {o both the consumer whom you were sworn to safeguard and the manufacturer, who came to you for help and advice--on behalf of the membership of the Society of Cosmetic (•hemists, I award you the Society's first Honorary Mem- bership.
