 TRANSFERS UNION IN BAL TIMORE is going in for Red Cross work in big and important way. Trucks of three large companies will soon become emergency mobile units. Travelling through stretches of country far from medical aid, members of the units will be equipped to handle emergencies on or near the highways. Many of the drivers have completed both the standard and advanced Red Cross first aid courses, and are ready to use first aid equipment placed on the trucks by the companies. In ad- dition, trucks operated by Is com panies are ready for conversion into Red Cross truck ambulances at a moments notice in time of disaster. All of this is the result of three way agreement between the Red Cross, the Teamsters Union, and management. Believe it or not, the first aid training classes were held in terminal warehouses.

I Remember

You become a hero sometimes when you least expect it. Take the ultra-fashionable city of Santa Barbara, the home of the millionaires. l had organized union of my crafts and along came the State Federation Convention. There was restaurant proprietress there that had been through the Cripple Creek strike and she recognized me at once. Needless to say it was easy unionizing her place. We had many talks of old times and when the delegates arrived many of them patronized her place and the lady became busy telling them of my ex- ploits during that trouble in the Grip pie Creek District. I found without notice that she had led the people to believe hat I was something of hero, although had done no more than many hundreds of other union men and women had done. So it can be seen that I am somewhat cold to the heroic stuff, for I believe that oppor- tunity has more than any other thing to do with making heroes.

Should Keep Crown

Is prejudice so foremost in
this country that certain people
can not bear to see Joe Louis
keep his crown until the dura-
ton? Do we have to interrupt
Joe's Army training to make
him again shoulder the extra
burdens Of Army and Navy re-
lief. Hasn't Joe done his part
and doesn't he deserve a rest,
or at least a match where so
much race" is not at stake?
These questions many sports
fans are asking to-day. These
questions do not even take into
consideration the fact that Billy
Conn, by some new found magic,
might upset" Joe Louis and
win tn ecrown. Needless to say,
a Louis defeat a this time
would be a tremendous morale
setback to a good many Color
ed youngsters, now in the Army.
1t would Gomez at a time when
they need all the morale uplift
they can get. There would GER
tainly be no wisdom in having
such a tragedy happen now!
Certainly Louis will be defeat
ed some day and by a better
fighter. Everyone will acknowl-
edge this fact. But the time for
the Joe Louis defeat should not
be this year, or next, or not so
long as We seek a racial unity
N the present war against the
race hating Axis.
Regardless of the reasons ad-
vanced for the staging of this
match, for one, go on record as
being solidly against it.
Those who will support it will
probably include Hitler, Gov.
Talmadge, and some others
who measure race above world
brotherhood and humanity.

BEAUTY HINTS
By NINA TEMPLE
MORE THAN BEAUTY

Ladies don't worry if you are
not beautiful for there is a
charm that can be yours for the
taking-it is style! All you need
to do is TO study yourself, your
figure, your coloring, wear your
clothes with an air and you will
have arrived on the front line
where beauties parade. And
more than that you will find
yourself more admired than the
merely pretty girl who has no
style. SO be alert, watch the col
or and cut Of your garments
and then wear them with that
certain air-that is walk well
nd you will be more admired
than those with more beauty.

by recreating your own youthful
coloring.
Women who take cosmetics for
granted, who employ all the artitces
in the book, are sometimes known
to hesitate to color their hair. The
excuses are numerous, and mostly
they are caused by a lack of In
formation. If you go to good cos
metologist, or choose an established
brand and follow the directions OF
the manufacturer, hair coloring 10
easy, safe, and inexpensive to apply.
The ethical bugaboo is as naive
and negligible as the one about lip
stick, suffered by our grandmothers.
Gray hair Is not necessarily a sign
of age. You've seen doddering old
sters with hair that is coal black,
and young women of thirty with
hair that is white. 1t is simply a
physiological phenomenon u
you can accept if you are so ~
clined. But if you would rather
assume the modern little girl look"
with unqueStionable authenticity,
don't betray yourself by being OLD
above the neck.
Get plenty Of sleep If you would
look young. BE healthy. Eat prop
erly, drink milk. Get outdoors and
exercise.
There is one other prescription
that is sure-fire that you, and
you alone can provide. II you can
manage 1t, fall IN love and stay that
way. For that little girl look" this
has all the formulate of fashion ex.

Segregation; It's Vicious
Purpose

Segregation is the special
American means of branding
Colored Americans as the i'm
feriOrs Of interiors in Public
status.
When the white South
found itself confronted with
the federal status Of equality
for Colored people, the former
sIaves-equality of citizen
ship, Of freedom. of franchise
rights, backed by the national
g0vernment-it selected the
denial of presence and Of SER
vice in places opened for pub"
lie patronage as the one great
way to brand Colored people
as having been a slave race
and make them forever the
scorn of civil society.
1t is a very effective meas
ure. Colored people are trait
