was married before TO Francis
Hale who was supposed TO be an
actor but was probably a bum.
She got rid of him two years ago
when she married Rowley who's
something in Wall Street. Hale's
married again, but my sister-in-
law slips up there. Probably
though he picked no pauper, she
said. Apparently, young Oliver

a lonely field. Cobb drew up. We
jumped out, squirmed under

car with the greater mysteries of

What l. The Real
Issue

to keep our children safe to grow
straight and strong mentally as well as
physically, we can put aside resent
ment, bitterness and personal pride. We
can lay aside our prejudices to struggle
for one common good-a preservation of
democracy for the next generation.
Whether we fight with men or NUM-
tons, whether we serve in armed forces
or at home-we serve, whatever the job
may be.
1t has been frankly admitted that the
Negro IS not being treated fairly in the
NJ AT TER OF DEFENSE JOBS
but the way to change that is not by
allowing enemy propaganda to drive E
wedge between groups of our people anC
isolate them from the rest of the ma.
ton by arousing bitterness and resent
