are so willing to cater to him.
J. W.: am high school gradu-
ate and have had many opportuni-
ties to secure good positions, but
my parents won't allow me to take
any of these. All they want me to
do is to sit around idle. Please help
me to get Strengthened out, or shall
1 leave town on my own accord?
Ans: Your parents don't object
to your working. But they do want
you to have a job that would be fit
ting to your talents and family
position and none of these jobs
offered that. The thing for you to
do is to decide on some specialized
work and prepare yourself for it.
Talk this matter over with your
parents and they will help you
make a selection, as well as finance
your undertaking.
C. j.: 1t seems like my husband
tries to worry me with his way of
doing. Sometimes he stays out all
night and when he comes home if
look dissatisfied, he says he is
getting tired of the way I act. This
makes me feel awfully hurt. Must I
continue on with him?
Ans: 1t may be awfully hard for
you to brace up and keep silent
when you feel more like exploding,
but in the end it has its cOmpensa-
ton. Fussing seldom solves any
point nor will sulkiness help the
situation. You have four children
to consider, and you can't afford to
deprive them of a home, especially
during their most unreasonable
years. What you need most to learn
is to give your husband a more sat-
isfactory home life T.. and then the
primrose path won't seem so entic-
ing to him.
T. L.: Should I continue to wait
on this young man who plays the
disappearing act about every 6
weeks? I feel that I am in love
with him.
Ans: This disappearing act is
for your benefit to keep you
from getting too serious. He is al
ready engaged to another young
lady and when she is in town, he
doesn't want to run the risk of
being seen in your company. The
waiting list is too uncertain. Better
get on the preferred line with the
goal in view.

Young People
Hear Lemke,
O.C.D. Leader

Ray Lemke, Chairman, Youth
Activity Division Civilian Defense
Council, addressed a group of one
hundred or more young people Fri
day, November 27, at Phyllis
Wheatley House. Mr.: Lemke spoke
on the subject, youths Response
bility to the Civilian Defense Pro-
gram" The meeting was sponsored
by the Minneapolis Urban League
Youth Council in cooperation with
Phyllis Wheatley House. The I'M
usually large attendance was made
possible by the fact that the regular
Friday night young peoples social
of Phyllis Wheatley was held joint
ly with the Urban League Youth
Council program.
Mr.. Lemke stressed the fact that
the total war demands total civilian
participation on the home front and
that no sacrifice made by civilians
is to be compared with that made
by the boys on the fighting front.
He enumerated many activities
which offer opportunities for active
participation on the part of young
people. An open discussion led by
Marian Smith, member of the Ur-
ban League Youth Council, fol-
lowed the address.
Lorraine Curry, president of the
Urban League Youth Council,
stated that the attendance at this
meeting proves that the young
people of Minneapolis are willing
to participate in worthwhile COM
munity activities once they have a
clear understanding of what the ac-
Invites are and the basis on which
they can participate. She COM
mended all the members of the
Youth Council and others who
worked diligently to make the
meeting a success. The next regu-
lar meeting of the Youth Council
will be Friday, December 4, at
6 p. M, Phyllis Wheatley House..
Membership in the Council is open
to all young people in Minneapolis.

M. M. c.: am in quite a diff
cult position, my husband was sent
to the penitentiary last summer.
Of course 1 am very much in love
with him, but I am wondering
whether he will do this same thing
again. Must I wait on my husband
or take up the offer that was pre-
scented to me recently?
Ans: Can you rightfully con-
denim your husband for the mistake
he made when the sin you are now
committing against your marriage
vows is just as great? You admit
that you love your husband. Why
shouldn't that be reason enough for
you to forgive him and live true to
him and when the time comes,
help him re-establish himself in
society? 1 do suggest that you as
sumo your responsibilities and free
yourself of this outsider you are
going with.
]. R.: I had planned to join the
Navy Air Corps, but my eyes are
weak and couldn't qualify. 1t was
suggested to me that study to be
radio technician in this same
branch of service. Do you think I
would be successful along this line?
Ans: The aptitude test that was
given you showed you to be quail
fed for this particular field. It
might have been little disappOint-
ment to you not to be able to enter
the Air Corps =. but in your case,
radio work would be second best.
You would also have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that you would be
preparing yourself for a profession
after the war is over.
H. R.: 1 am Is years old and have
been going with this boy for 8
years. He wants too much of me
and says if T don't respect his
wishes, there are plenty of other
girls that will. A lot of gossip has
started about US. Is he worth being
alked about?
Ans: You have at last come to
he right conclusion he isn't
worth sacrificing your reputation
or. Before this gossip will cease,
,Ou are going to have to discOn-
:inue this friendship. Step out of
he picture and if anyOne's
equation has to be ruined, let it

You see, men clerks, as strange as
it seems, are hard to find in the

prise that only one was from Min

he glad to see me?
All, or most of the ninety-five
non-coms were promoted two weeks
after we arrived. I made Staff
Sergeant two weeks ago. You
would be surprised at the number
of Negro boys down this way who
can hardly read or write. I've
found out that lot of them have
had the opportunity to learn, but
just don't care to. I've had many
ask me to read their letter from
their wife or sweetheart or to write
a letter for them. Yet some of
them are fairly smart in mechani-
cal or other aptitudes. I haven't
found much prejudice to worry me
for you don't have to come in con-
tact with it unless you are riding
a bus or train. 1 refused to leave
st. Louis, Missouri, until the tick
ct agent gave me a reservation on
the Pullman out of there. I had
to wait one day but bluffed him
and went to the Chairman of the
Dining Car Local there and the
next day got my reservation. We
are right on the border of Okla

homa, and 8 miles from Paris, Tex

second largest camp in the United
States. The boys are still pouring

now. 1 sit and pound out a type
writer most of the day. I receive
letters from a lot of the boys from
other camps that are Minnesotans.

Weight and Youth in OI- lies Favor in NOn=
 Title GO

New York, August 6. - (UP) = Right in the middle of Madison Square Gardens ring, "x" marks the spot where two determined warriors risk their future hopes to- night = young Allie Stalz of New ark, N. J., outstanding lightweight contender. and ancient chalky Wright of Los Angeles, recognized in New York and affiliated states as featherweight champion of the world.
 Wright's title c.aims are not at stake in this over er-the-weight TO- rounder. Stolz, who almost took the Ntle from lightweight champion Sammy Angott on disputed decis- ion in May, risks his chances of a return title bout with Angott on October 2.
 Wright, the California Negro whose age Is estimated variously from 30 to 40, stakes his hopes of belatedly following the great Henry Armstrong to the lightweight and welterweight thrones.
 Stolz is favored because of his great bout with Angott and be- cause he will have the advantages of weight and youth. He is ex- pected to weigh 133 pounds to Wright's 129. Those are major reasons why Stoz is the 9-5 favorite.

Hogan Man To Beat In Canadian Open

Toronto, Aug. 6-(UP)-American and Canadian golfers start the three day medal grind in the Canadian Open today and, almost without ex- ception, they chose Ben Hogan. golf's leading money winner as the man to beat.
 Hogan, handicapped in practice by slight hook, heads a field of 112, including 32 professionals from the United States, seeking the championship abdicated by Sam Snead. The American, PGA king recently enlisted in the navy and could not defend the title.
 Despite his overwhelming choice as favorite. Hogan, the years top gold-grabber with $12,143, will have plenty of competition in his first crack at the Canadian title and its 1000 first prize money. Four former titlists are entered, including George Cumming, the 1905 winner; Joe Kirkwood, 1883 champion; Gene Kunes. the 1885 champ, and Jug McSpaden. 1889 winner busted by Snead in 1940.
 Also rated high in the group of invading professionals from the United States are Craig Wood. Tony Manero, Lloyd Mangrum, Paul Run- van. Phil Turnesa, Ralph Guldahl, Clayton Heafner and Herman Kaiser. They comprise the largest and strongest invading American squad in years.

SMITH HAILED AS
 PROMOTING GENIUS

Salem, N H., Aug. 6-(UP)-Lit- tie Rockingham Park race track was the pride of professional sports fol- lowers in New England today after earning between $75,00O and $85,- 900 for the army and navy relief funds by staging a 15-race double header.
 The morning and afternoon cards proved New England's most success ful wartime charity venture, far eclipsing the efforts of both larger race tracks, Suffolk Downs and Narragansett, and the Boston ma- jor-league baseball clubs.
 General manager Lou Smiths idea of holding morning races at this somewhat isolated New Hamp- shire track, which depends mostly on Boston and textile cities like Lawrence and Lowell for patronage, was regarded as slightly whacky, but when the last race was com pleted at ' o'clock last night he was hailed as a promotional genius.
 Betting Near Million
 The paid attendance for the day was 20,636, and the crowd poured a track record of $914188 into the pari-mutuels. Surprising enough, nearly 13,000 fans were on hand for the morning card of six races.
 Smith turned in the tracks entire profits and matched dollar for dol lar fho hNrcoy1oY1tc nN11trihYJtioy1c of more than $500O.
 The afternoon crowd of about 25,- 900 let $650,282, which alone was nearly 5000 more than the previ- ous track mutuel mark set last Armistice Day.
 Even the horses caught the spirit of the occasion, nine favorites win ming during the long program, which was interspersed with band music, novelty acts and tribal dances by Indian soldiers stationed at Fort Devens, Mass.
