o,FAYs ALONG THE STROLL


During the last two or three
months it has been or is the prac-
tice of white men to drive slowly
along The Stroll in their cars and
when they see lone Negro woman
or girl they try to entice them into
their automobiles. And some of these
guys have the CUTS to try to force
these women to submit to their de-
mands.
AS an incident: One night last
week we were waiting for i street
car at Fifth and Charter streets
about II o'clock. A nice looking
colored girl got off a car going III
the opposite direction Up drives an
o'fay in a 1888 VS. and stops the
girl. She called him about 4 dozen
Sunday School names IN about 3
seconds and bid him the time OF day.
Didn't this monkey continue to fol-
low this girl, and the last we saw
of them, he was following and she
was swearing. Let a Son Of Ham
try this in a white neighborheod
and even the MALTA will be called
out. But had this young lady'3
husband seen this fellow trying to
make improper advances to his wife
we doubt if there would have been
a greasy spot left.
We have said that to say this:
One Of these nights, and it won't be
long, there is going to be boat
load Of hell raised on the West Side
and it can be avoided. So we are
pleading with tears in our eyes as
big as man hole covers to the Min
isterial Alliance, or some civic orga-
nization or some individual to call
this to the attention Of the chief Of
police, city manager or somebody IN
order to have this stopped An ofay
gent is going to make an advance
to the wrong, nice looking girl 1nd
he's going to get scalped, then nice
bloody riot will be in order. We'd
like to hear from someone or some
organization on this subject. Let's
try to do something to stop this

 and give him the cold shoulder entirely, telling the children that he is just silly myth and all the rest of it, that would be pretty hard thing to do.
 It is this way. Anything so en- trenched in custom, especially if it is something that contributes to the happiness of children, seems to live on and on in spite of us.
 Doing 8 little research on the jolly old saint, find some inter- esting things. It seems that Santa Claus under various aliases, has been doing business at the same old stand for 1500 years. Began in Near East
 Hardy at the same old stand, either, for he began his work somewhere off at the other end of the Mediterranean Sea. He was called Nicholas, and when he died he was sainted, being a church dignitary. He was a friend of the children and around Christmas time after his death, he was supposed to come back and bring them gifts.
 Santa Claus has been called Saint Martin and then Krist Kind. which I suppose is the same as Kris Kringle. He got mixed up h1 mythology and became an old German god descending on a horse to bring presents. The chil- dren in Scandinavian countries still put out hay for the horse of the benign visitor, supposed to come on horseback after dark. Clement Moore, who wrote "The Night Before Christmas" or rather, to title it correctly, "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" intro duced the idea of reindeer. And the stockings were probably a change from the shoes set out for hand-out. Chimney, sleigh, the whole scene as represented in the famous poem appealed to the gay side of imaginations and took hold, I wonder if ever to let 20. He may have taken his reindeer too, from some old custom. England calls Santa Claus Father Christmas; France, "Pere Noel": Germany (unless Santa has lost his l1cense), "WeinachtSman";; Denmark, "Julemandeny. And so on. Canada has a Santa Claus" as well as our selves.
 German immigrants brought US most of our ideas about Christ mas. They used the tree and per- haps the author of Might Before Christmas" got his chimney epi- Sode from them. The early Ger man settlers of Pennsylvania. with their wide flues, brought him down that way. It all ties up. One country has borrowed from another until now we have Santa Claus. I don't believe we could refuse him a passport.

Jack Benny's newest musical comedy hit Artists and Models Abroad" opens its engagement at the Warner Bros. State theater to- day as the headliner of this the ater's grand Christmas show treat.
 Comedy by the popular Buck Benny, romance by the co-starring lead Joan Bennett, new songs that you'll be hunming for months to come, and gowns by world-famous stylists-these are the epoch-mak- ing attractions of this cant miss picture.

PROCRASTINATION THE ALLY
 OF CANCER

K < Y < 5I |
 A survey made by experts of the Massachusetts public health de- partment indicates that approxi- matley 20 per cent of adults be- tween the ages of 40 and 50 years are affected with some chronic dis ease.
 Of 4,337 persons past forty who admitted having one or more chronic diseases, 63.7 per cent were under the care of physicians, 2.3 per cent were under the care of practitioners of various cults, and S3.9 per cent had either self-ad- ministered treatment or no treat ment at ali.
 The survey brought forth the fact that of 3,225 persons with chronic disease whose records in- dicated the need for medical atten- ton, 878 had not had any medical attendance or advice during one year preceding the survey.
 At first blush these figures might seem to suggest that the darn doc tors charge so outrageously for their services that most people can hardly afford to have proper medi- cal attention these times. But wait moment. Perhaps these 876 chronic invalids will throw some light on that aspect of the ques- tion. How come they had not wis., tied the doctor or had him call even once the past year?
 Well, for every one who gave his economic status as a reason for not employing physician, 7.47 gave other reasons which indicated need for more information, bet ter education.
 Where the impaired health proves to be due to diabetes, ne- phritis, cardiovascular disease or some nutritional disorder, the fail- ure to have medical advice is un- fortunate but not always disas- trous. When the run down. condi- tion" proves to be due to cancer, even a month or two of delay in consulting the physician may be of vital importance.
 Of 4,159 cancer patients who came to diagnostic clinics in Mas sachusetts, AT per cent delayed less than two months in consulting a physician after noting the first symptoms. Nearly half of these gave mere negligence as the rea- son DOT procraStinating; 3.2 per cent (to the shame of our boasted American intelligence) gave fear as the reason for putting off the med- ical examination.
 Ignorance inspires such fear.
 The keynote of cancer control is education. The Massachusetts health department has demon- strated the value of education in in the past ten years or so. As a re- suit of the educational campaign carried on in Massachusetts since 1884 the percentage of persons who seek proper medical advice or care within two months after the beginning of the illness has in- creased considerably, and there has been large increase in the per- centage of cancer patients whose condition is diagnosed and treated promptly enough to give the vic- tims benefit of surgery.
 Besides conducting free diagnos- tic clinics for cancer, Massachu- setts provides free hospitalization for the indigent and low cost ($10.50 a week. disqualification for those able to pay part of the ex- pense involved. Free pathologic service is available, and the health departments educational campaign is wisely based on the idea that the family physician, the general practitioner, shall be the instructor to his own community.

GIO,itying Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan writer


 Number one purchase among the items to take on a cruise, be 1t ever so short, or a vacation in some warm, southern winter resort ought to be an efficacious slnburn pre- ventive. No woman who intends t0 make the most of a winter holie day will risk getting a bad sunburns Furthermore, since honey-beige tan is smarter now that the mahogany brown shades, she'll want to use the preparation to keep from getS ting too dark even after all danger of burning is past.
 If you aren't used to tropical sunshine, take the advice of olde timers you'll meet and wear your sunburn preventive whether the sun is shining or not. You probably won't mind using a fairly oily lo% tiOn on the beach. And for shore trips or golf, tennis or shopping tours near the resort hotel, use a preparation that is both preventa- tive and 8 powder base.
 Speaking of powder, by all means take along two boxes one of the shade you normally wear and a1- other in a much darker tone. AS your skin darkens, mix a little of the dark with some of the light un- til you get a shade which matches your skin. Nothing is more unat- tractive than rosy beach or pale rachel powder over complexion that is definitely honey beige.
 If the lipstick and rouge you are wearing now are very much on the purplish side, they won't be flat. tering once you have a nice even coat of tan. The whiter the skin, the more becoming purplish lipstick is. For one who is sun-tanned, the dark, wine-red shades are nice. Clear reds and, of course, the faintly rusty tones are, too. Naturally, nail polish should harmonize with lipstick.

POLES

Opening at Loew'S-Pol tomorrow at the height ofathe holiday season, is the greatest double smash screen program in Waterbury.
 Heading the great bill are Gary Cooper and Merle ODeron in "The Cowboy and the Lady," their first starring vehicle together. The new picture contrasts the glitter and glamour of smart society in Wash ington and Florida with the romance and adventure of Cowboy Land in the Golden West, and is a comedy romance of modern-day life. Afforded an opportunity to display again the talents which first brought him screen fame, Cooper is seen not only as hard-riding, cow-punch- ing cowboy, but arouses additional interest by singing for the first time in the screen. Miss Oberon, who proved herself master of the com- edy technique in recent pictures, plays her most romantic role to date in her always effective and versatile manner.
 "The Cowboy and the Lady" re- veals the pictorial brilliance of the great outdoors in the east and west in a story that has romance, glamour humor and drama. Sup- porting the new "girl- boy" team of Cooper and Miss Oberon, are such notable players as Patsy Kelly, Walter Brennan, Fuzzy Knight and Henry Kolker.
 Timely as holly leaves and good cheer, is the second big feature on this program, "A Christmas Carol" !" Charles Dickens best-loved and widely read story. It is brought to the screen for the first time as an important full-length feature, and stars Reginald Owen in the role of "Scrooge" and Terry Kilburn in the role Of Tiny Tim" All the fa-
