Have you heard of the new
est national notion - female
food wardenS?
Yes, you heard me right the
first time. l don't know whether
it's official yet, but they are ac-
tually considering il IN the
sacred precincts of our legisla-
tive halls.
Wouldn't you know a bunch
of men would cotton TO a cock
eyed idea like that?
Female Food Wardens. Danes
with a federal sanction to come
shopping into your home and
pantry and see what food you
have and whether you cook it
per specifications.
And we think we have trouble
enough already! Just let them
start that new wrinkle and see
what happens.
Typical Meal
Not, mind you. that we Amer
lean housekeepers don't need
few tips on nutrition. We most
certainly do.
Taking 'em, by and large, the
average American family is
about as poorly fed as any
tribe on earth, considering the
abundant resources at its COM
mand.
Fried round steak and pota-
toes, pears and a slap of pie is
as foul an insult as one could
well offer the human innards.
And yet that is typical Ameri-
can evening meal. And we
should be very ashamed of the
fact.
Yes, I realize you have 10
hurry if you want TO get to the
movies on time. Or the nearest
juke joint. But it might be we'll
to consider that you're also
hurrying yourself into a gastric
ulcer and a swell funeral if you
insist on consuming meals Like
that.
Even if Nom is working on a
defense job, she can still pre-
pare a boiled dinner the night
before. So I've no kick against
those who criticize our slapdash
American menus.
Won't Help Any
But will female food wardens
cure the problem
They will not.
They will simply be an in
element to homicide.
There is far too much of this
shopping paternalism in our
present scheme of things. Amer
lea began as a self-starting
nation.
Some OK the starting wasn't
so good. 1t ended in awful flops.
We've paid a terrific price for
our freedom and initiative. But
imperfect as they are, they've
been worth it.
And so now we're going to
have Female Food Wardens 10
tell us how to cook real chow
instead of the trash we now eat.
Maybe.
Which, says I, is as great an
infringement of the American
Bill of Rights as any screwball
program that was ever con-
ceived. And / hereby warn you
that l personally am prepared
for them.
Let any such dame try and in
wade my pantry and I'll throw
her out on her ear.

proves the interior provided
the landlord is agreeable).
We saw some worked out by
several clever youngsters who
were taking courses in furniture
making. They had the help of
an instructor and the finished
cases were lovely. The same
ideas was done more expertly by
one of the interior decorators in
a Fifth avenue store.
Map Of World
The room was large with
broad windows almost covering
one wall. The large built-in
cabinet was about a foot deep
and inside was hung a large
map of the world. Concealed
lights inside the top of the cabi-
net illuminated the whole in
terror.
Two large doors swung from
either side and fastened in the
center-they were mirrors on
the wall when the cabinet was
closed. Inside the doors we're
m gazine racks and quite
enough TO accommodate any
number of extra maps and fold
erS as well as pencils and other
markers for convenience in
keeping up with activities along
the various fronts.
Interior
The frame and interior of the
-eabihet~as navy bite 10 match
the navy and gray wall paper.
The gray was in stripes. On the
side wall opposite the cabinet
were large CTetonne- covered
chalrS-three separate ones
placed together TO look like a
sofa Two large corner chairs
in the same material were in
either corner, but could be
brought up for ends. If desired,
there were separate floor cabi-
nets in navy lacquer in all four
corners.
Two extra large easy chairs
in the same cretonne of yellow
and dark blue were on either
side of the large map cabinet.
The rug was light gray TO match
the gray stripes in the wall

coffee tables were placed before
the group Of three chairs.

gently; it was as though she had
given up. Her lips, family moist in
the hazy blue light, were parted
and he saw the furtive glints OF
her white teeth. Her eyes were
closed.
He lifted her and laid her On the
bed. Something urged him to leave
at once. Then he stiffened. The
door behind him had creaked.
He turned and a hysterical ter
ror seized him, as though he were
falling from a great height in a
dream. A white blur was standing
by the door, solent ghostlike. 1t fill

knock her out of his way and bolt
from the room.
"Mary!" she spoke softly, ques.
tiCningly.
Bigger held his breath.
Mary munbled again; he bent
over her, his fists clenched in
fear. He knew that Mrs. Dali
ton could not see him; but he
knew that if Mary spoke she
would come to the side of the
bed and discover him, touch
him. He waited tensely, afraid
to move for fear of humping

He watched her with a mingled
feeling of helplessness, admira
ton, and hate. If her father saw
MIN here with her now, his job
would be over. But she was beau
ttful, slender, with an air that
made him feel that she did not
hate him with the hate of other
white people. But, for all of that,
she was white and he hated her.
She closed her eyes slowly, then
opened them; she was trying des-
perateIy to take hold of herself.
Since she was not able to get to
her room alone, ought he to call
Mr.. Dalton or Peggy? Nav.
That would betray her. Her eyes
closed again and she swayed to-
ward him. He caught her "rd

now stood over the bed. Her hands
reached out and touched Mary.

a quick step back. You're dead

She stood silently in the hazy
blue light, then she knelt at the
side of the bed. Bigger heard her
whispering. She's praying, he
thought in amazement and the
words echoed in his mind as though
someone had spoken them aloud.
Finally, Mrs. Dalton stood up and
her face tilted to that upward angle
at which she always held it. He
waited, his teeth clamped, his fists
clenched. She moved slowly toward
the door; he could scarcely see her
now. The door creaked; then ST.

He led her out of the kitchen
into the hallway; he had TO walk
her a step at a time. The hall was

her: he shook her.

Well, all they could do was fire
him. Tt wasn't his fault that she
was drunk. He felt strange, poss-
essed or as if he were acting upon
a stage in front of a crowd of peo-
pie. Carefully, he freed one hand
and turned the knob of the door.
He waited; nothing happened. He
pushed the door in quietly; the
room was dark and silent. He felt

Speaking of discrimination, Dr.
MacLean stated that "a lot of al
legged discrimination is not discrim-
nation at all, but arises on the
employers side from ignorance of
the fact that there are any Jews
or any Negroes who have the SkillS
that they so much need" He added
that ignorance on the part of those
who seek defense jobs, of the right.
clear, solid procedure for getting
those jobs" was another factor
which contributes to charges of dis
elimination.
This doesn't mean that there
isn't widespread practice of dis
elimination in defense industry"
DR.. MacLean declared. Some is

which is against all minorities that

crack down on with all the legal
force that it can WELD"

Revolutionary
Move Seen
By White Paper
Tenant Labor
Shortage Alarms
Big Planters
BY WALTER MURDOCH

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.-(A N P)-
The migration of Negroes from the
farms of the southern states to
industrial centers and big cities has
begun TO puzzle the white owners
OF plantations and tenant farms
The tenant who once worked 50
unhmanly for meager food and
shelter, is very much needed and
an editorial in The Alabama Jour-
nal, white publication, revealed
these facts:
''Many thousand Of Negroes
have in the past few years mi
grated northward so that vast
numbers of them are employed in
industrial centers and New York
City has more Negroes in it's popu-
lation than can be found in any
other community in the south.
Since this trend is shown in all of
the southern states it illustrates
geographically the changes that
have been taking place in The
Soaeti PoPNdslINItI, GSlJNtl1IlY All
the rural areas
BIG CHANGE
This migration has caused an
enormous change in the south'S
economy especially on the farms
and is responsible for a labor
Chnrf 70 1.,f
great as to have proved a dis
couragement to ell men operating
their plantations with hired and
tenanted labor.
"Just now it is the fashion of
some of the landowners to blame
such agencies as the FSA, which
was designed to help meet the new
conditions, with the loss of labor
on the farms. But the labor had
already gone.
There must be a readjustment
to the new condition, for there is
not the remotest hope that labor
ers who have left the south for
more lucrative industrial employ
ment will ever return to the farm.
The mass migration from farm to
city set in following the First
World War. There was no answer
to the war song, How you goin'
keep EN- down on the farm, after
they've seen France?' The present
war is moving other thousands and
they're not coming back to pillow
and hoe.
Census figures themselves show
that a revolution has taken place
and how great are the adjustments
that must be made. If ever any
body, at any time, needed help
from the central government to
meet new unprecedented situa-
ton, the rural south needs it now"
