YOUR BOY

1t is highly important that you
connect your boy with some worth
while organization. The home is
naturally the first institution which
has definite influence upon the
character Of the boy. Here the
Aoundation is laid for the future de-
velopment of behavior.
The home should be a guiding
light to the boy in his first span of
five or six years. The next institu-
tion comes the school, which will
play most important place in his
life--that Of education. Education
is process by which beneficial
changes are wrought.
As the boy progresses in school
and his education becomes broader,
he will link himself with other insti.
tutions which are avenues Of express
sion and desires. Some Of these or
ganizations may be school clubs,

sooner or later, be drawn into the
conflict. May God grant that this be
averted:
sbut we should not close our eyes
to the possibility that the United
States may be led by events and
forces to set forth once again to
save democratic government. If that
unhappy time comes there will once
again be appeals to Negro .Ameri-
cans to help make the woh.d safe
for democracy even to the extent
Of laying down their lives. But even
IN the face of this possibility, de-
nocracy is still denied to Negro
Americans in tn earned. forces of
the United States. Rank race pre-
judice is rife in every branch Of the
armed forces Of our government
army, navy, aviation, the marine
corps, and every other department.
Even in the construction OF ships
for our Merchant Marine, which
ships may play very important part
both in our national security and iii
our economic well-being. there is
gross discrimination against qualified
Negro workers.
Repeated pleas to correct these
evA-s have in time Of peace been un-
availing. But now in time of ma
tional and world crisis the National
Association for the Advancement Of
Colored People, on behalf Of twelve
millions of Negro Americans and
many fair-minded white Americans,
makes this appeal to you as COM
mander-in-chief Of the armed forces
of the United States government:
We urge you to use the utmost pow
ers Of your high office to remove the
barriers to full participation by
qualified Negroes in every branch
of the defense forces Of the govern
ment. To this end we ask you to
appoint commission, the member
ship to be made up of white and Me-
gro citizens, to make thorough in
vestigation Of the nature and extent
Of racial discrimination now exist
ing in the armed forces. We sug-
gest that this commission be invited
to make recommendation for the
removal as speedily as is possible
and as is consistent with national
welfare Of all barriers to full par
ticipation of all citizens In this i'm

Evening star., 1939-07-16
By BARBARA BELL,

These dresses, you see, are the
types you give the hardest wear,
day in and day out, on vacation or
in town, so that, at just about this
time in hot season, comes the
craving for new ones. Well, have
at least one new one. Here are three
persuasive invitations to sew it for
yourself-patterns that achieve the
slim wasted, wide-shouldered, flare
skirted silhouette with a minimum
of detailing. They have cool, plain
V-necklines end the simplicity that
looks most attractive on torrid sum-
mer days. You've never done much
sewing? All, don't let that stop you.
These designs are almost ridiculous
ly easy to make and the dresses will
be so smart and individual in colors
and fabrics of your own choosing.
II you take large size, and what
you need most at the moment is
new afternoon dress-not too dressy
for bridge parties and luncheons,
then choose 1868. The jabot
drape, low-placed, and the edging
at the V-neckline, give just the
touch of softness you want-and
provide all the trimming you want.
The lines of the dress are adroitly
slenderizing-notice the long, un-
broken panel at the back. The skirt
is cut high at the front to minimize
your hips and waist. Sufficient bust
fullness is provided by gathers and
shoulder darts. The dress will be
charming In small-flgured silk print,
fat crepe, georgette or the current
favorite, rayon jersey. Only five
steps in your detailed sew chart.
