A TALE OF TWO CITIES:
Our story this week revOlves
round one of our well-nown young
married couples of the Twin Ci-
ties. The hubby in our story is
splendid chap, makes a wonderful
living, is faithful and devoted to his
wife and to his children. The young
wife of our story is mapprecia-
tive of all her good luck, is shall
low, and has always been a highly,
Eighty, flirty sort of a dame. OF
late she believes it her patriotic du-
ty to chase all over town to all
the mite spots with a handsome
eighteen-year-old lad who is due
to be indicted in the army soon.
This patriotic chasing" has been
going on for some time and hubby
has tried to overlook it all. The
other night though, hubby came
to the end of his rope when wife
came home at 4 am. in the morn
ing recently, high as a kite, arm
in arm with her eighteen-year-Old
b.f. Hubby slammed the door in
wife's face and told her she wasn't
fit to be his wife nor the mother
of his children. Anyway, since
then, our wife has repented and
has tried her best to get back, but
alas! too late-fOr hubby has his
eye on another lass about town
who'll probably be the next missus.
(Ain't life terrifc?)
Well, friends, that's enuf for
now, but I'll be SEEM you again
soon.

responsibility" in fixing teach
ers' salaries, was adopted by the
State Board of Education here
on June 80 in an to 1 vote.
NAACP attorneys charged that
the purpose of the resolution is
to avoid the decisions in teachers
salary cases brought by the
NAACP in an effort to equalize the
salaries of Negro and white teach
ers of equal status and qualifca-

The new resolution will permit
the school authorities to take into

ell shopping bags, cork purses, and
spatter painting in their handicraft
class while Mrs. Kirk has her girls
making dresses for both their dolls
and themselves. The Junior Com

the grass cut. They are doing a
nice job, too. Mrs. Buffers

So have your fun and your sweet
hearts just keep the boys in

E. B.: I am one of your old Gus
toners and like your advice. Please
help me. Does this boy want to
marry me really or is he just COM
ing to my house to be jiving and
popping off about marrying? Was
I wrong about mailing him the
card?
Ans: Not the least bit but
you did take some of the wind out
of his sails. He figured he was
building you up" into mood for
frOlicking until the post card
came telling him that in your Opin-
ion he "STUNK." The poor guys

R. R.: Friend, I have read your
column for 10 years or more.
find it good and believe you car
help me. I like my present home
very much and can buy it cheap
Should I try to buy it and should
I advise my husband to take his
pension?
Ans: A home of your own
bought and paid for .. should bt
the goal of every family. Ac
cOrdingly my advice to you il
to buy now while you can. Lei
your husband continue on with his
job. If possible, get the home PAID
for before accepting his pension.
R. M. A.: get lot of kick Out
of your column. I live with my
father and two brothers. Ny mother
is dead. My father won't let me
socialize myself with the boys like
a young miss should. I do al
the homework, cook, wash anc
keep the house clean. My father
don't want the boy I want to marry
to come and see me. What shall
I do about my trouble?
Ans: Your father doesn't object
to all young men Just those
he feels are not worthy of you. II
you will invite the right kind OF
young men to the house they
will be treated decently and with
respect.

R. P. B.: I am very lonesome. I
like a man but don't know whether
he likes me or feels sorry for me.
He comes and sits with me some
times and gives me soft drinks, all
1 want to drink.
Ans: Now that's the kind of
sweetie to have especially dur
ing the hot spell we're having. You
are IS years old now and you can't
be picayunish about why some
likely looking man likes your
company. Regardless Of his mo-
tives lead him on. A sorry
mans better than no man at all.
Old Customer: I ask my friend
to write you and I trust your
advice will make a true wife out
of her. She is a lady that wants
to put on the pants. She works,
also her husband. When they come
home from work she sits down
and dogs the man around. She is
so superstitious, she claims he has
her voodooed. Give her some good
advice as her life and home is
unhappy with superstitions. She
worries too much.
Ans: Yes, and you likewise
would stay upset if you be
lieved in this cOnjury as your frienc
does. Her husband is the one tina
needs talking to. He is deliberately
bedeviling his wife with vOodO,
talk. He is slick enough to hav'
his way by feeding her mind will
such trash. If you have any in
fluence with the man advise hin
to put an end to this superstition
practice at once. Otherwise, h
will kill the little love his wife has
for him and be responsible
for any breakdown in her health
physically or mentally.
J. S. M: am in the first yea,
of high school and like a boy il
the senior class very much. HI
says he likes me. He watches MI
all the time, and is always joking
Does he like me or does the boy
in the junior class like me best. A
boy in the army was writing me
does he care anything for me
Must I find something to keep my
mind busy and forget these boys
Ans: Quite the contrary. Every
| normal girl should enjoy the friend

Anti-Mosquito Oil Heats Cells

question of whether a police station

tablishment the District government
is keeping its officers and prisoners
warm at No. Precinct Station by
burning anti-mosquito oil, 1t was

After conferences with the OPA

ply Of fuel District officials rum

Of heavy oil intended for use in the
anti-mosquito campaign. It is be-
lieved this supply will be sufncient

Of the cold season.

Alexander said that while every one
of us fully appreciates that great
difficulties and bitter fighting still
lie ahead of you and that beyond
this campaign lie still greater hard
ships and sacrifices, still you and
your 18th Army group, the Navy and
the Air Force are now in position
to exact the full price from the
enemy confronting us in Africa
Enemy columns retreating toward
the port of SfaX and tanks, trans
ports and troops were hammered by
Allied air forces. sometimes within

Fourteen enemy aircraft were shot
down in air combat for loss of one

stroyed three more.

It was this revelation Tuesday
which prompted Commissioner Guy

Postwar Regrouping
Forecast by Halifax
international Agreement
Called Possibility
BY the Associated Press,

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April g.
Agreements toward grouping Of
homogeneous peoples" in Europe
after the war to prevent recurrence
OF conflicts among those of inherent
ly different origins was viewed as a
possibility today by Lord Halifax,
British Ambassador to the United
States.
The Ambassadors views were ex-
pressed at a press conference short
ly after he had been welcomed to
Alabama's capital by Gov. Chauncey
Sparks and Mayor Cyrus Brown. He
said also that India could attain
complete independence and domin-
ion status by settling internal diff
culties.
Lord Halifax observed that some
international agreement might be
reached for grouping of populations
after the war. Regarding the gen.
eral picture of the war, he said the
Allies were perfectly confident Of
winning but that I'VE are under no
illusions" and that hard fight was
in prospect before victory.
The Ambassador came here from
Birmingham, where. in addressing a
gathering sponsored by the jefferson
County Defense Council last night,
he warned against complacency.
IF the war has taught us no other
lesson" he said, "it is that the last
act of wisdom is to be unprepared.
We can take nothing for granted.
but must be ever ready for whatever
may come"

Order for IA Status
Chi|d|ess Husbands
Due Early Next Week
Elimination of 3-B
Classification Among
Changes Planned
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

Sweeping changes in selective
service classification, making in
duction imminent for all married
men without children and elm
mating 3-B, will be announced
early next week, it was reported
authoritatively today.
The Redistribution will put mar
ried men without children into IA
for immediate service except for
those who rate occupational defer
ment.
The elimination of the 3-B classi-
fication means local boards no longer
will consider deferment for married
men without children who are in
essential work but are not keymen
The change was described as MAIN
ly bookkeeping matter since most
local boards are near the bottom of
their pool of childless married men
who are not in essential work.
Fathers in Essential Work.
Fathers whose children were con-
ceived before Pearl Harbor will re-
main in ga until further notice
It could not be learned whether spe-
cial consideration for deferment
would be granted to fathers who are
in essential work but are not key
men. Under present classification
fathers in essential work would be
the last of the dependency group to
be called for service.
The new classification plans, 1t
was said, also call for the estab-
lishment Of a new dependency class
for men whose induction would
create undue hardship for their de-
pendents.
With the large ma jority Of District
draft eligibles employed in the Gov
ernment, the District is among the
places nearing the bottom of the ga
pool Of childless married men.
Classification of Federal employees
with dependents in 3-B, It was ex-
planned, follows the national policy
that the Government is an essential
activity as far as men with depend
ents are concerned.
AS a result, District local boards
went through their ga men faster
than in some other communities and
on March 20, District Selective Serv-
