N. J.. GOVERNOR

Governor A. Harry Moore of New
Jersey has taken a progressive stand
in telling group of white citizens of
Glassboro, little town on the Black
Horse Pike between Philadelphia ana
Atlantic City, that they should quit
looking for trouble before it starts, in
reply to requests that colored CCC
camp be changed from that town. The
Governor said that the colored CCC
boys have been found to be better be-
haved than white boys in similar
camps. The Glassboro citizens listed
number of fears" but at the bottom
it was noted that the fears" had
economic roots, for the CCC boys
were sent to Glassboro to do some
work which local relief people might
do. The Governors upright stand on
the issue is most reassuring.

New York, N Y, October 29-A

Rumors that large numbers of Ne

siderable alarm lest Negroes might
ask that exceptions be made in order to
insure their return to employment, "

 Paris UP)-Tough as leather! Yes, gut don't forget how beautiful that leather becomes and how i'm portant part it plays in the salons of haute couture. A scrap of leather is the magic wand which converts many a dull dress into glamorous gown, and leather accessories make many suit look more than its material value.
 A basketball bag is the latest of these accessories. Robert Piquet introduced 1t to the fashion world as an amusingly practical purse to complete any sports costume. The bag looks for all the world like an undersiZed basketball of regulation brown hide. But its top half un- snaps and lifts off to disclose de luxe interior complete with a comb case, powder puff and all the rest. The ball-bag is carried in string mesh filet whose drawstrings are easy to clench.
 In the delft fingers of Schia- parelli leather kid, bright red in color, is used to make tiny sus- penders holding up the skirt of a navy blue wool skirt. Green kid is cut into leaves of many shapes and twined together to make the belt for red and green striped cotton sports dress. Elongated black leaves cut of leather are loosely overlapped to form a roomy bag which draws at the top with black leather thong.

STRAND

Performances tonight at Warner Brothers cozy, clean and comforta- ble Strand concludes the engage ment of Tn Old Chicago" starring Alice Faye, Don Ameche, Tyrone Power with a cast of thousands.
 1Tomorrow's new show is headlined by that stirring melodrama "Over the Wall" starring Dick Foran, formerly of Western pictures, with beautiful June Travis.
 This original story, written by Warden Lawes of Sing Sing, tells the story of the conviction of an innocent young man and his bitter resentment at the injustice. Through the efforts of his sweetheart and a friendly chaplain, he becomes model prisoner who is trusted out side the walls.
 But when the urge comes to es- cape, he takes 1t. His purpose, how ever, is not to get revenge on the men who framed" him but to es- tablish beyond all doubt that he was not guilty of the crime for which he was unjustly punished.
 Dick Foran is cast as the inno- cent young man, and Miss Travis as his sweetheart. In the supporting cast John Litel will be seen as prison priest. Ward Bond as head william and Veda Ann Borg as his sweetheart.
 The co-hit stars Kay Francis ana Pat O'Brien in "Women Are Like That" story concerning life, love and marriage in New York's gayest, liveliest set, the advertising agency folk. Plan to see this exceptionally fine show over the holidays. You're sure to enjoy 1t.
