TO HOLD MASS MEETING


TO HOLD MASS MEETING
The NAACP. will hold a Mass
meeting, Sunday, March 3, al 3 p.
m. 1t Zion Baptist Church. Jobs
in defense industries will be dis
cussed. ]. Westbrook Mcpherson
is Chairman.
New York-Law suits by tax
payers against boards of education
that provide defense vocational
training for white youths and no,
or unequal, training for Negro
youths, may be brought in the
near future, 1t was announced to-
day by the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People.
The Association has received re-
ports from Seattle, Washington,
San Diego, Calf, Nashville, Tenn
essee and st. Louis, Missouri that
boards of education in these cities
have indicated that they will not
provide defense vocational train
ing for Negro students because in
dustrys In or near the cities have
declared that they are refusing to
employ Negroes.
In Seattle, the Boeing airplane
plant has made such a declaration
in San Diego, the Consolidated air
craft corporation; in Nashville,
the Vultee airplane corporation;
and in st. Louis, the Curtiss
Wright corporation and other in
dustries.
The NAACP. Is seeking inform
alton from other cities where this
situation exists.
In New York City, although
three airplane companies, Brew
ster, Grammar, and Republic have
so far refused to employ Negroes,
the Board of education Is not deny
ing training to Negro youths.
The NAACP. legal committee
is making a study of the law in
volved and feels confident that le-
gal action can be brought by COL
ored parents and taxpayers where
training has been denied or where
it is unequal.
In a statement today, the NAA-
CP. said:
I'VE are determined by every
means at hand to see that Negro
Americans get a square deal in the
defense program. We are contin-
uing the fight against discrimin-
alton and segregation in all bran
ches of the army and navy. We
have secured the introduction of
a Senate resolution in 81 ~effortzto
make public in an official way the
rank discrimination against Negro
es in the whole defense program.
We are continuing the fight for
employment in defense industries.
"One of the most important as
poets of the defense program is
the vocational training being pro-
vided by local boards of education,
by the WPA., the NYA., and by
the plants themselves. The gov.
eminent has appropriated millions
of dollars for this defense train
ing and we intend to see that u
boys and girls receive instructions
which will fit them to be skilled
workers.
1T is much easier to fight for
employment if it is possible to
produce trained workers for the
jobs than it is if only unskilled
workers are available.
"Now is the time for our people
to fight hard for this specialized
training. In the glamour of the
service in the army and navy We
must not lose sight of the vital I'm
portance of securing this valuable
training for our young people,
Even after the defense emergency
or-War-Negroes will be in u
much better position to campaign
for jobs if they have this train
ing"

 Everybody appreciates the situa- tion of the selectee. But so far there hasn't been any concern shown for the plight of the unmarried girls who are also "of draft age".
 If they haven't actually lost cer- tain young man to the draft they at least are facing the prospect of fewer dates and less fun. DON'T GET SYMPATHY THEY DESERVE
 But no home town committees are figuring out how to ease the lone Illness of these girls or how to provide them with inexpensive forms of re- creation.
 Their futures are just as uncertain as the futures of the young men since most of them want to marry. They haven't very good chance so long as most of the young men they know have either been called into the army or face the prospect of be-

HAIR IS SHORTER
 SMOOTHLY TAPERED

Shorter hair is, of course, the order of the day. All coiffure ex- perts report that their chic young customers, as well as their Suavely groomed, more mature customers, are demanding that the scissors be used freely. Salons are specializing in smoothly tapered effects; in hair that is no more than three inches long all over the head; in special permanent waves which give shorter locks the body they require.
 Upswept cultures are few and far between. Only those to whom up- Swepts are truly becoming seem to continue to cling to them. Nobody is stretching a point, saying .'Ill get used to 1t" and trying to persuade herself that the upswept is f1attering when it isn't.
 Experts predict that hair will get shorter and shorter, as it has in England ever since women became busy with defense work. However, they maintain that the So-called mannish bob with shingled back. won't appear again-ever. It always spoiled the nice line across the back of the neck and, of course, did less than nothing to soften the jawline.
 With deep-crowned hats with swashbuckling, upturned brims. short hair styles with softness at the sides are interesting. With the peaked cloche, worn slightly back on the head, curly bangs and medi- un-size pompa6our rolls vie for favor with sleek, brushed back front sections. Unless you are 8 raving beauty, bangs are probably more suitable than severe lines, however. sleek.
 Whatever hair style you choose for fall, remember that no coiffure can be lovelier than the quality of the hair from which it is arranged. Dull, nfeless looking locks cannot be arranged in beautiful swirlS, curls and rolls. It takes hair that is gleaming with health-due to sensible diet, fresh air and nightly use of the hair briish-to make an coiffure remain out- standing looking for more than l2 hours.

been dealt with by. the board of trade. One, which promised quick and profitable returns for its organi- gers, was the coupon-free second hand clothes business. It was diffl- cult to draw the line when a gar- ment started being second hand. COUPON-FREE CLOTHES
 PRICES ARE LOW
 To obviate any possible misunder- standing, dealers now will not be able to sell garments as Isecond- hand" unless they are genuinely such. This spells the death-knell of the seven or eight-gui1nea "Saville Row once-worn suit'' racket, or the equivalent in shops catering to women.
 Maximum prices for those clothes which are still coupon free are low. The price of mans suit, for ex- ample, cannot exceed fifty-two sfiI- lingS (about eleven dollars), shoes ten shillings (50 cents); and SO on. These coupon-free prices have been arrived at by fixing at two shillings (l0 cents) the value of every coupon which would have to be given lIp for new article. If the price ex- ceeds this limit, then the set num-. Der of coupons must be given up.
 There are all sorts of unexpected repercussions where this clothes-ra- tioning is concerned. Roedeal1, 8 famous girls school, has had to send out an sos to all its old pupils ask ing them to turn in their school clothes for the new girls, for ex- ample.
 The government has clamped down on special processing. As a result, 1t is gettnig more and more complicated to obtain special designs such as are needed for club, school and regiments. When present stocks are exhausted, the "Old School Tie" may be thing of the past.

Hosiery Problem Is Old Story
By ROsETTE HARGROvE

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 London.-The silk stocking short- age which has just begun to worry U. s. women is an old story to most Englishwomen. Deprived of glamor- ous silk, they, too have frantically been seeking substitutes-even, like some of their American sisters, re- sorting to the device of painting on stockings.
 Many employers have not helped their women employees adapt them selves to the shortage. A bus girl was sent home few weeks ago, for example, because she reported for duty stockingleSS. She said she had used up all her coupons. Situations such as that recently moved mem- Der of parliament to ask the secre- tary to the treasury in the House of Commons to appeal to the gov- ernment departments and other em- ployerS not to insist on women wear ing stockings at work.
 'They are being patriotic by going bare-legged," he declared. Smart ness and looks certainly should not come before the war effort, and em- ployers who insist on their employees wearing stockings are being unpa- triotic."
 BANK OF ENGLAND
 ALLOWS BARE LEGS
 Restrictions on bare legs are being lifted by the minute. Even the Bank of England-the staid "Old Lady of Threadneedle Street"-has lifted the ban, not only on bare legs, but on light suits for men, as well. Mems regulation dress used to be striped trousers and black coat. Now even soft collars may be allowed.
 Clothes rationing and the coupon system continue, however, to be problem to most women, who are as conscious of their clothes as ever.
