Dean of Women of Shaw Universi-

There is no realm in which it pro-

combination of precept and exam

and elementary teachers must be-
come more nearly in accord in
their thinking concerning the
standards they wish to set up, and
while girls are yet in theirforma-
tive years must give daily empha-
sis at home and at school to the
setting up of the these standards.
At present our mothers and teach
ers are themselves confused in
their estimate of the attractive

WRONG IDEA ON CLOTHES

the attractive makeup, the we'll

attention that the girl derives an
idea that clothes make the woman.

honesty to secure them. Too often
gracious living is interpreted in
the light of elegant appointments
for the tea table, in the light of
the variety of cocktails, and Of
the rarity of corsages rather than
in the light of the culture, hum
aneness, civic worth, and social
sympathy of the guests.

any Negroes of so little vision,
and of so great personal jealousy,
as to oppose this nomination, even
under cover, we hope they will
meet the fate deserved by all race
traitors.
Here is an opportunity to make
every colored person in the United
States feel pround, yet we find
some of us So small Of soul as to
actually protest such a move. IT
is not even practical, not to men
ton possible, for all colored people
to agree on some questions, but on
some other questions, they should
all stick together, whether they
agree or not. It is question,
often, of how much you have to
lose, as well as how much you
may gain. Under Roosevelt, we
stand to gain q lot if we will but
take advantage of naturally favor
able circumstance. We don't know
who will be the next President, so
let's make hay while the sun
shines. If for no other rpeasn,
let's remember how little we got
under Hoover.
Auto Employment
Roy Wilkins, in his report on the
automobile situation in Michigan,
says: I'm Flint, center of the re-
cent strike, the huge Buick plant
employs some Negroes in its
foundry, but none in any other Sec
ton of the plant. Chevrolet en-
ploys Negroes only as painters
The great Fisher body plant has
only one or two Negro girls in It's

opened up opportunities for Neg
roes in skilled as well as unskilled
jobs and they will be found sprink-

This report from the automobile
area does not look so good for
Negro employment, except in the
Ford factory. Mr. Wilkins says
frankly that Negroes are skeptical
of John L. Lewis's c. I. O., but it
would appear that they have not
much to lose by favoring the Lewis
union, according to what they have
now as non-union workers.
We believe that the trend is not
only toward unionization, but the
inclusion of colored workers, and
we would suggest that colored
workers ponder long before they
take stand against any union.
They may have to accept the union
and then fight out their battles
within the organization. You can't
expect a perfect set-up. at the
start. On the whole, the! unioniza-
tion principle is correct.

MAJOR VAN. BUREN
 WILL VISIT HERE
Next CCC Enrolment Peri= cd Starts July 1; Rules
 to Be Changed

Despite the fact that eco legis- lation is still pending in Congress, the state selecting agent Major B. H. Van Buren has been instructed to proceed with plans for the com ing enrolment period which starts July 1.
 Mrs. Verdon said today that mem- bers of the local welfare depart ment staff in charge of the eco work will proceed in accordance with instruction from Van Buren. It is expected he will be in Water bury before theh actual enrolment period starts.
 It is apparent the bill in Con- gress is going to pass and that as a result of this many new Water bury boys will be eligible for the eco under the slightly revised stipu- lations in regard to entrance re- quirements.
 These have been outlined as fol- lows: Boys must be over IT years old and must not have reached their 24th birthday. They must be citi- zens and unmarried. Any able bodied young man who can con- firm to the less strict relief regu- lations now in effect can report at the local welfare department office at any time from now on. Camp CTS selected will be sent to camp shortly after the brief enrolment period terminates.

Kennedy of Derby will alook after the physical welfare of each camper. A resident chap lain, yet to be appointed by Bishop McAuliffe will serve mass each morning.
 Beautiful Site
 The approach of summer awakens in every red-blooded boy the urge to be up and doing. There are boys who will be roaming the streets aim- lessly looking for excitement and adventure needless of the cost of ac- cidents. Other boys will trek the worn paths taken by hundreds of Connecticut's youth for sixteen years to that retreat, Camp Palmer, situ- ated on lofty plateau 200 it. above the winding Housatonic river in OK ford. It is situated in one of the most natural camp sites in the state, high and dry, nestled amid towering pines with plenty of room for outdoor frolic and fun.
 Because of the increased registra- ton last year, the water iron facili- ties had to be enlarged. This same water front has attracted hundreds of passing motorists last summer to the many triangular water meets between the friendly camp rivals on the Housatonic. Irving, Pershing and Palmer. Camp Palmer has the unique arrangement of having its water front 300 yds. away from Its camp proper. This meets with the favor of many parents since 1t is far enough away for safety and close enough for convenience.
