DeItas Decide
To Postpone
Convention

WASHINGTON, d. (SNS)-
In a statement made public last
week, Attorney Elsie Austin, ma
tio,lal president Of the Delta Sig
ma Theta Sorority, announced that
in view of the serious demands of
the war effort, the executive COM
mittee of the sorority has, as an
emergency measure, unanimously
voted to postpone the national con-
vention which was scheduled to
take place this Christmas in ST.
Louis.
Attorney Austin took a poll of
the opinions of grand officers and
regional directors of the sorority
and the results indicated that they
felt Delta Sigma Theta's vigilance
in cooperating with the war effort
and in taking necessary action to
protect democracy at home, could
be most rapidly advanced by con-
centrating the energy, expenditure,
and time that would be involved in
national meeting, upon the
numerous local activities that the
chapters sponsor in their various
communities.
The official family of Delta will
meet with Attorney Austin early
in 1913 to plan further matters of
policy and program for the year.
The sorority elected its officers for
a two-yaar period at the 1941 con-.
vention in Detroit and a post
ponement of the convention this
year will not hamper the admin
istrative functions of the organiza-
ton.
Other sorority officers are: Myra
d. Hemmings, vice president, San
Antonio, Texas: Mary Nighten-

Attending the conference were
Mrs. Alma Illery, president, and
Mrs. Goldie Hamilton, secretary of
the league; Mrs. Fannie Chandler,
Mrs. Virginia Wright, Mrs. Bertha
Cross, Mrs. Virginia McPhee, and
Mrs. Robert l.. Vann and P. l..
Prattis of the Pittsburgh Courier.
Mrs. Hamilton said the commit
tee was given sturdy rebuff by
Vice-PreSident Coo and his assist
ant, a Mr.. Heron. Both, she said,
were positive in their statement
concerning employment of Negro
women. Cox explained that the
telephone was an important part
of the war effort and that ga
change of employment would be
drastic at this time"
Mrs. Hamilton said the executive
told the committee that colored
girls were being considered as
cleaners, but employing them in
any other capacity would require
quite a bit of consideration" which
they were not willing to undertake
at this time. No indication was
given when the change might be
put into effect.
Declaring that this discrimination
on the part of the Bell Telephone
company was violation of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Fair Employment

NO MARITAL RESTRICTIONS

Can a WAAC marry?" she ask
ed. 'Sure, - if she can catch a
man. The first girl in our class to
become a bride caught a Lieuten-
ant. He was commissioned just two
weeks before she was. q
"Our home life is not completely

Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1942-11-21

Keep the body tall when stand
ing, walking, sitting. Lift the torso
from the waisbline; don't just lit
the shoulders, a practice that does
away with ease of movement. The
taller you carry yourself, the small
er will the waist appear; the higher
the chest will be. If you have a
feeling Of rigidity, shake it away by
lifting and lowering Your arms,
permitting the shoulders to assume
a natural, easy pose.
If fat has collected on the Shoul-
ders, you'll have to work it off by
arm Swinging exercises. Double the
fingers in the palm of the hand.
Swing the hand far out in front,
far at the side, far back, then
downward and return to first po-
sition. Six times with one arm, six
with the other and repeat. These
movements act directly upon the
muscles of the shoulders. Make the
fibers strong and fat cells will
evaporate. This same exercise will
fill out thin shoulders. Tt brings
conditions to normal.
CAN BE SLENDERIZEn
The rounded shoulder line can
be slenderized by careful cutting OF
the frock. The collarless dress is in
clined to be revealing A narrow
neck band is to be preferred to any
arrangement that descends at the
back. The evening gown should be
cut V-shaped, front and back, the
rounded pattern avoided.
Paddle bo6iceS an coats are a
blessing to the girl who has narrow
shoulders. She can fill them out,
and her chest, too, if she will have
keen regard for perfect posture, do
he1 breathing exercises night and
morning. Often the narrowneSS is
nothing more than the habitual
contraction of the chest. Wide
collars - and there are lovely lin
gerie offerings in the shops these
days - are a grand help toward
better appearance.
SCOUR WITH SOAP
Keep a keen eye on the skin sur
face of shoulders and arms. Scour
them with soap suds and a brush
when taking your daily bath. Only
friction will remove dead skin
scales that give the flesh a grey
appearance. After the bath, use a
busting powder for Smoothness. For
the festive occasion, arms and
shoulders can carry a light Eilm OF
foundation cream. Much rubbing is
necessary to make it disappear.
No matter what your age may be,
if you let your shoulders slump
forward, your body will look old.

tional cure for provincialism and
narrow horizons, through the in
PRODUCTION of women to the u. S.
armed services, was foretold to the
Second Annual Conference of the
Congress of Women's Auxiliaries of
the CLIO by a Negro officer of the
WAACS here.
Delegates TO the conference rose
cheering to their feet when Its.
Mildred l.. Osby and Mildred DAY.
export Carter, both former Boston
girls and now Third Officers in the
Women's Army Auxiliary Corps,
were presented at the afternoon
session in the Hotel Statler.
FELLOW UNIONIST
1t. Osby, assigned to the War
Department public relations staff
in Washington, was welcomed par
ticularly as a fellow trade unionist.
A member of the United Federal
Workers, Chicago local, in good
standing, she emphasized the
equality of opportunity for Negroes
in her service as far above all ex-
pectatlons, and the freedom OF
union members to continue their
affiliations.
1t. Carriers recent assignment as
Recruiting Officer for the First
Service Command, covering New
England, was announced for the
first time and she explained that
the fleXibility of service with the
WAACS permits officers to return
to duty near their homes and
among their own people.
The role Of the Negro women in
the WAACS, and the role of the
WAACS in the Army, represented
the biggest thing in life for Ameri-
can women and their greatest OPP
portunity for an active contribu-
ton to the war effort and resto-
ration of the peace, 1t. Osby told
the conference.
"As you know" LIT. OSby said,
''the Corps was established to util-
ize the great reservoir of power pre-
sented in the special skillS, train
ing and knowledge of the women
of America"
WILL RELIEVE MEN
Throughout the non-combat-
ant arms of the service, thousands
of us viii be relieving men who
have been doing jobs in the Army
almost exclusively performed by
women in civil life.
''We WAACS are rich women
and poor women we are doctors.
lawyers, teachers, social workers,
stenographers, factory and domes-
tic workers, housewives; we are the
widows Of Bataan and Corregidor
with one motivation to make
the most direct personal contribu-
ton possible to winning the war
and the peace.
1--WE don't feel noble or heroic.
We are simply convinced this is
the most important job We can do.
The life of the WAAC is far from
grim. We are doing our dork with
a seriousness heightened by our
nearness to the war. But we
haven't lost cur sense of humor,
and when our days work is done,
we are just as keen for fun.
1.-THE Negro WAAC has been
completely overwhelmed by the
sense OF equality of service. We
have not been relegated to the
mental tasks we frankly anticipat-
ed. We are in every phase of
WAAC activity.
81 am particularly proud to be
able to announce to You today that
the first units of women to report
for service in the field will be the
companies of Negro WAACS order
ed to Fort Huachuca, Arizona next
Monday"
1t. Osby, who was commissioned
with the first class to graduate
from Des MoineS, August 20,
laughingly spiked few popular
misconceptions, among them regu-
lationS on marriage.

That degree of heat if the feet will stand it. for that length of time, will probably kill all the fungi or parasites.

 e. Should kidneys be soaked in cold water before they are cooked?
 A. This treatment will make the flavor less strong. Lamb and calf kidneys should be soaked about one-half hour and beef kidneys an hour or longer.
 e. Tn ordinary laundering is ie! necessary to boil clothes to remove the soil?
 A. Clothes can be cleaned without boiling but boiling helps to whiten them and is specially useful for very soiled clothing. Place the clothes in a boiler of cold soft water, mixed with finely shaved or scraped soap and bring slowly to the boiling point, Boil 5 to 10 minutes. Prolonged boiling is apt to yellow the clothes
