This Year,
Let Husband
Plan Vacation

IF THERE ever was a time
when the head of the house de-
served the right to pick the
family vacation spot, this is the
year. Why not surprise him
and say: This is your vacation,
dear. Where shall we go? All
/ ask is that we keep the ex-
penses down"
When he RECEIVERS and men,
tons that little camping and
fishing trip he has been angling
for-for about six summers-go
right along with him without
murmur. Anything to get his
mind off priorities and things.
Come Back FIJI
You've been staying home and
minding the children day in and
night in, and you're just aching
to 60 some place where they
dress for dinner and dance until
breakfast.
Buy your stamps and bonds
to be considered this year. If he
gets a vacation, il is because he
really needs one and must come
back to the job feeling fit.
> This isn't the time to be taxi
ing an expensive trip, anyway.
Buy your stamps aand bonds
before you go away. You might
think il wouldn't matter If you
skip buying one months quota,
but we can't afford TO let our
war effort go into a summer
slump.
There wouldn't be any vaca-
tons in Mr.. Hitler's world-not
for us.
Stay on the Job
Any time off-two weeks, one.
or a week-end-is so much
velvet.
On many Of the defense
plants the men are being asked
to stay on the job and to take
double pay instead of a rest.
One of the defense workers
wives promptly said to her hus-
band: Let's take that extra
money and put IL into extra
bonds!" And he said: 20. x"

Wonderful new liquid dentifriee, TeeI,
cleans and beauties your teeth in the sufest
without securing ingredients!
You want yourteeth to be sparkling clean, naturally
bright But you don't want this tenn pordry beauty
at the expense of some lasting injury that will
mar their loveliness. So read this carefully
Recently, leading dental journal published
important new facts for dentists. This report
shows that most leading dentifrices today contain
securing materials. Tests reveal that these securing
ingredients can gradually cut grooves or cavities
into the soft part of teeth along the gum line
when this part is exposed by receding gums,
often happens Them all too often, teeth lose their
beauty, may grow painful, require filings.
Why Tssi Avoids This Injury
Teel, the wonderful new liquid, is different from
all leading tooth pastes and powders Not only
because it is liquid but also because it contains
no securing ingredients. That's why, of all lead
ing dentifrices today, Teel alone cannot cut ugly
cavities in the exposed, soft part of your teeth
Yet, Teel helps clean and brighten teeth thrill

Most people find Teel easily removes ordinary surface

Figures from Texas also illustrate

gram in Southern states. Only FOG
Negroes in that state have been adj

And Negroes form 14.6 per cent of

Georgia, Alabama, Mississip-
ni, Arkansas, Virginia and the
Carolinas have equally dispro-
portionate totals in their train
ing programs. @
What better proof can be Offer
ed that this is. definitely not the
time for the Presidents Commit
tee to slow down on the effective
work that is being done. Rather
its technique of exposing these OUT
NODDED, wasteful and unpatriotic
racial determinations in training
and employment should be accele-
rated.
SHORTAGES WILL AID
And increasing emphasis must be
placed upon the al1-itnportant mat

manpower shortages will have a
greater tendency than anything
else to soften the hostile oppose

The Globe Trotter

Very shortly 1t will have been a
year since this Order was issued.
Though some very effective work
has been accomplished where re-
sistance to its implications has not
been too rabid, in most instances,
it is either neatly side-stepped by
prejudiced employers and unions, or
it is with impunity totally ignor-
ed.
FLAGRANT IN SOUTHEAST
In no section has this flouting
of national policy toward the in
tegration of Negro workers into
industry and training programs
been so fragrant as in the South
east, where ironically Is located the
largest supply of Negro labor. Es-
pecially vicious is this contemptu-
GUS disregard in the matter Of OPP
ening training opportunities.
Figures released by the Unit
ed States Office of Education
show that in Is Southern and
border states where % per cent
of the total population are Ne
groes, only S,215 at the end of
January 1912 were enrolled In
war industrial training courses.
This report showed that only
four per cent of the trainees were
Negroes. Out of 4,630 training
courses in the Southern states on
" 1874 were open to Negro trainees
A STRANGE CONTRAST
Recognizing the traditional pen
chant of the South to depend al
most exclusively on its Negro Citi-
gems as workers, this present-day
reluctance to give them training
contrasts strangely with earlier
days when slaves we're sent back
to England to acquire skills as arti-
sans. They were the metalsmiths
who gave New Orleans its pic
turesque old-world flavor, they
built the railroads, erected the
huge plantation homes, titled the
soil.
The refusal to provide this
training now IS understandable
