Taft Junior High Pool
Urged by Burroughs Group

A combined community "sing" and
meeting, attended by more than 300
children and members of the Bur-
roughs Citizens Association, last
night opened the current season of
the civic group in John Burroughs
School Motion pictures depicting
community activities also were
shown.
In its business session, the associ-
alton urged provision in the l943
District budget for construction of
an indoor swimming pool at Taft
Junior High School. The proposed
pool to be built into an additional
wing to the present Taft structure,
would be covered by a removable
roof for summer use. w. I. Peeler,
who offered the resolution, urged
that supervision of the pool be
placed under the Board of Educa-
ton to prevent use of the facilities
by other than school children of the
Taft area. Action followed a de-
tailed report on school problems by
Bernard T. Dodder, chairman of the
Schools Committee of the group.
Other reports were submitted by
Edward T. Williams on membership;
Paul Jameson, property owners
covenants, and by James L. Brew
rink, president, who announced
chairmen of standing committees for
the coming year.

These free moving outfits, recently

tary innovation being tried out by
the United States as the answer to
tank defense. The question was
whether they could match the speed
of tanks by shifting from place to
place where they were needed for
defense.
The swamps and bayous of Louisi-
ana have offered such an obstacle to
mechanical forces that tanks have
been forced to keep almost entirely
to roadways. The anti-tank units,
therefore, were merely placed along
the few approaches open to heavy
armored columns and sat there to
wait.

all possible approaches into Louisi-

Third Army Presses On
DESPITE Chute Attack

WITH THE 3D. ARMY IN LOU
ISIANA, Sept. 27 (P).-Pestered but
not seriously hurt by parachute
troops, the Sd Army doggedly kept
to its purpose in the Louisiana war
games today, tightly wedging the
I'd Army between the Red and Sab
inc Rivers within 40 miles of
Shreveport.
Almost so of 127 parachutists in
jected into the contest were cap
tured during the night but they full
filled their sacrifice mission" Of
sabotage.
Unlike the initial parachute at
tack last week, which was kept Sc
cret to enhance its surprise value,
yesterdays Jump was watched by
official and unofficial observers.
The 119 enlisted men and eight
officers flung themselves out of the
Army transports at 1900 feet and
cleared their planes in 10 minutes,
minutes faster than last week s
jumps.
Each OF the men from Company
A, 502d Parachute Battalion, Fort
Benning, Ga, had pistol, two
grenades, enough canned ration and
two chocolate bars with him on the
jump. Other planes dumped vari-
colored parachutes from which
swung bundles of rifles, machine
guns, mortars and ammunition.
The company splashed through a
bawling herd of cattle, within a
half hour after 1t landed. The
jumpers famed out, most going to
a nearby wood to wait for darkness
so they could destroy, theoretically
gasoline, ammunition and ration
dumps and several communication
lines.

in too many instances to be favorable to the
genuine article. The we-done counterfeit is
by no means easy to detect.
The surest test is the fineness and thick.
ness of the hair. The real blonde has much
finer hair, and much thicker hair than a.
brunette If the suspected blonde has an
unusually generous crop Of fine hair, then she
may actually be blonde. If 1t is sparse and
coarse, then she has probably improved on
nature.
II has been found that these nature-fakers
do not consider at heart that making them
selves into blondes really improves their
beauty, but rather the opposite They under
take the transformation in cold blood simply
TO acquire the profitable glamour which, for
some reason they cannot understand sur
rounds the blonde The reason is not entirely
unaccountable. For some 1900 years the
blonde has been the beneficiary and the brun-
cite the victim of almost ceaseess propa-
ganda.
After the fall Of the Roman Empire, most
of Europes ruling classes and aristocracy
were of the blond type. There were no news
papers or photographers, the average man
never saw book in his life and the only
pictures available were paintings. The painters
only customers were the blond arstocrats so
they naturally made heroes and heroines fair
haired but villains. villainesses and other UNI
desirable personages dark.
1t was true, even in the cathedrals where
a brunette stained glass angel would have
called for a lot of explanation. Cleopatra
though Of the Ptoemy family, Greek aris-
tocrats and certainly either a blonde or red
head, rated as a conniving creature who came
to bad end and therefore on canvas and
stage had to be a very dark brunette. The
spectators would have been all confused had
she been shown a blonde.
The prejudice got into the language itself
Anything that suggested brunette was evil
and sinister, anything blonde was virtuous.
lofty and desirable. Fair meant blonde and
therefore a fair proposition was a blonde
proposition A bright smile was a blonde
smile, dark though the kind brunettes enter
tanned and blondes were not supposed to be
capable of giving anyone black look.
In spite Of this dark and undeserved repu-
tation, the maligned brunette far from becom-
ing extinct, through the centuries appears to
have increased in numbers.
The blonde, though still able TO give her
rival high bood-pressure and an inferiority
complex seems TO be decreasing but is still
far from any danger Of extinction.

famous for being able 10 see in the dark
whereas recent surveys show that the blondes
night vision tends TO be very poor and that
she is under this handicap even at twilight
friends wife. who is a blonde though not
an extreme one, illustrates this. When others
tan, she does not even burn-her skin merely
comes off in layers. She aughingly calls this
her Summer moulting. In addition. although
she is an excellent automobile driver, she long
ago learned that she should not drive at night
since her vision is practically zero at twilight
and after. She has had many bad tumbles
and bumps around her own house at night for
the same reason, and now will not enter
room unless it is well lighted first
During most Of the year she also wears
dark coored glasses prescribed by her ply
sician to protect her from another weakness
common to the true blondes This weakness
is a senstivity Of the eyes TO glare. The
bright Summer sun, or the dim Winter sun
reflected on the snow, are both painful and
binding TO many blondes.
Dark glasses are not a fad, but necessity,
for the true blondes
Since the blond races turned up at the
beginnings Of history in areas where there
was plenty of snow, snow-blindness looks at
first like blunder of Nature.
But there is reason to believe that when
tow-headed people were evolved, there was
little or no snow there. The country may have
been mostly forest, well-lit, but with little
direct sunlight and no glare.
If one wants to study a true snow spe-
cialist he should catch an Eskimo who looks
as If plated with slightly furnished copper,
very much a brunette
One oculist asserts that the surest way to
tell genuine blondes from the bleached or
"dunked" variety is their reactions TO glare,
glare from the sun, of course, not from dis
approving brunettes They are hardened TO
that.
Since beauty is but stin-deep, the blondes
face may be her misfortune as well as her
fortune because the girl who is blond is
moro likely TO have pimplcs and other skin
blemishes. This is a source Of continual

dizziness of blondes. OF course, this does not
refer 20 medical dizziness, or vertigo, but to
an alleged light-headed, foolish nature. Intel
ligence test records, of which there are
hundreds OF thousands do not show any great
differences. There is a difference between
groups though, and this is in favor of the
blondes,
As long ago as the first World War, for
instance, it was found that, in general, the
soldiers from the light-complexioned regions
did better in the army intelligence tests than
those from the dark-toned regions.
The blonde herself, consequently is less
likely to be dizzy-but she may still be more
likely TO make a young mans head go spin
ming. Just because she is a blonde does not
mean she is short on brain power; by and
large exactly the opposite is more likely to
be the case.
Therein may lie some justification for the
charge that the blonde uses those Machiavel-
Ian charms known as wiles. With slightly
superior intelligence and with the power to
restrain her passions and to reflect that
should go with lower blood pressure, she may
be capable of studying her man more carefully
and employing strategy against his weak
points better than can the more mercural
brunette
The surest evidence Of a forging, decetful
character, however, is neither the blonde nor
the brunette, but the girl who beaches herself
TO appear blonde. The bleached blonde is quite
likely TO be out for no good purpose from the
moment she makes the decision to apply the
peroxide and lemon juice.

HEALTH DEFECTS in
NYA YOUNG PEOPLE

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-Nine
out of every ten young people en-
ployed on the National Youth Admin
istration out-of school work program
appear to be suffering from health
defects most of which can be remedied
by proper care, says preliminary re-
port on medical examinations of NYA
youth workers published by the Jour
nal of the American Medical Asso-
citation.
This report is based on the results
of medical examinations of 10000
young men and women employed on
the NYA out-of-school program in 21
states. These examinations were made
by local practicing physicians and dem
fists as part of the nationwide health
program of the NYA which is de-
signed to improve the health and build
up the physical fitness of the youth
workers.
One of the most significant results
of these examinations is the revela-
tion that one out of every four of the
youth examined reported they had
never been to dentist and 1870 re-
ported they had never been to ply
sician.
