BY RUTH MILLETT

The June bride who plans to go
back to her typewriter after the two
weeks honeymoon is over is well
aware that running a house and
earning a pay check at the same
time is a large order.
She has been told of all the dan
gers and warned of all the tough
spots.
So it may comfort her to learn that
there are advantages as well as dis
advantages to being a working wife.
She'll Be Too Busy Fer Boredom
In the first place, she won't be
bored-not for a minule-for the sim
pie reason that she won't have a
minute in which to be bored.
And with all the disconnected,
young bridse-playing wives there
are today, that is a great advant-
age.
Then, too, the working wife is not
likely to be jealous of her husband.
1t takes time to wonder if a man is
having lunch with a pretty girl, or
if he really had a good reason for

Teacher Takes
Her Class To
Federal Court

ROCK HILL, S. CLAMP
Wilbur D. White, clerk Of United
States District court said that to
the best of his knowledge, for the
first time a colored school, teacher
has brought her class to observe
federal court proceedings in South
Carolina last week.
Miss Dorothy E. Nance, sixth
grade teacher in the Emmett j.
Scott school, was the teacher re-
sponsible for the progressive step.
Mr.. White said that after court re-
cessed Miss Nance asked permis-
sion for the children to ask ques-
tons of some court attacne.
For over an hour, Mr.. White
states he was agreeably surprised
at the intelligence and interest OF
these six grade colored children.
Miss Nance said she was treated
with every courtesy by the govern
ment officials. At the Rock Hill
term, H..W. Wright, a eolored man
from Westminster, S. c., served as
grand juror.
Mr.. White also said that at the
Spartanburg, S. c., term of court
Charlie Williams of Greenwood sat
for two days with II white jurors
in a damage suit. At the conclu-
sion of the case the II white men
were high in their praise or their
fellow Juror. The federal court for
the western district of South Car
olina continues to lead the rest of
the South in the number of Me-
groes selected for federal jury
