She Listened To Her Pride--
Now She Finds The Going Tough
BY AMY PORTER

II won't be treated this way. I can
stand on my own two feet and care
for my child and myself. And 1
will"
It was a fine gesture. But one
she couldn't afford. Today a great
many women make these fine ges-
lures they can't afford. If you fol-
low them through tn, years., you
will see they are a pitiful lot.
Things haven't changed as much
for women as we like to suppose.
It is still a tough ''orld for a lone
middle-aged woman, who, without
particular training or ability, finds
herself trying to earn a living.
Too Big a Price for independence
We say, Women no longer have
to stay with husbands when they
don't love them, or with husbands
who are unfaithful." But are we
right-since the life they are able
to build for themselves is often
such a sorry thing?
Maybe the old-fashioned women
who stayed with their marriages,
no matter what, were the realists
and the modern woman is ar
idealist who pays too big a price
for her gestures of independence
and equality.

OF Variety.
Offered In Range
OF Seafood Dishes
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Service Staff Writer

4NA2IA IVA VASO
The great variety of fish and
shellfish in our American rivers
and oceans could become an album
dant source of high grade protein
at low cost if we included fish IN
our menus more than once a week.
When American families learn
to take advantage of this source OF
delicious food our national cost per
person Of adequate diets will be
materially decreased. So long as
we continue to use fish only on
Friday, the cost of fish will remain
relatively high.
Part of our drive for American
economy in the home should be
to urge our families and our
friends to use American fish more
frequently.
The Fishery Council has just
published a booklet which will help
American women buy, judge and
cook fish and sea food. It's called

whole situation in Brownsville
arose when law-abiding property

The result of this action was ths
lynching of Ebert Williams, 80. and

members of the local chapter of the

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(SNS).
The rights of Negro citizens

tration who will direct WPA's
share in the program.
The WPA project will provide
training for approximately 100000
persons and thus provide them
with an increased knowledge of
the skills necessary to speed up
the total national defense pro-
gram. The courses of training will
be given in established public vo-
catlonal schools and related facili-
ties during July, August and Sep
tember.
Sponsored by the National De-
tense Advisory Commission the
vast program will move forward
with the U. S. Office Of Education

$7,50O,OO0 in addition to the So
78l $40 allotted from WPA funds.
State and local school boards will
have the primary responsibility for
the actual conduct of the courses.
The project will operate in states
where the need is certified by the
State Director OF vocational Eda-
cation. The Director will also
serve as state representative of
the sponsor and co-sponsor.
The WPA will select and assign
persons for training upon requisi-
ton from the vocational educa-
tional authorities, continuing to
pay these workers during the train
ing course Other qualified per-
sons may be selected by public en-
ployment Offices, but these will not
be paid by WPA..
EXPERIENCE CONSIDERED
Vocational education, apprentice
training and work experience in
mass production industries, even
though such experience may not
have been at an occupation re-
quiring a high degree of skill, will
be considered in selecting trainers.
Auto mechanics, machine shop
workers, electricians, cabinet max
ers, craftsmen, sheet metal work.
ers, welders, pattern makers, etc.,
experienced in the use of hand or
machine tools, will be regarded as
desirable applicants.
The same is true of persons
whose manual skills include sucn
crafts as wood working, model
building, repair and building of
electrical and radio equipment in
the home. Experience in repair
cry is likewise desirable.
