Keep i'm Trim
Teacher Mary Martin
Gives Tips on Exercise
BY IDA JEAN KAN

YOU HAVE new exercise
teacher-Mary Martin of the
films. This lovely screen star
used to make her living by
teaching dancing and she had
special classes for the ladies
bent on getting their weight
down.
And l had great success in
getting them to work" Mary
reminisced. but then, after
working like mad, they would
so often go on TO a bridge
luncheon and eat everything in
sight. OF course, they couldn't
reduce that way"
What did the overweight"
want? To slim down their hips
and waists and to flatten their
stomachs. And what about the
thin girls? They wanted TO
build up their legs.
Old Stsndbys
But if | were making up an
abridged exercise pro gram,
Mary went on, there would be
certain old standbys l couldn't
think of leaving out. The side
scissors is one.
You have heard OF the side
scissors all you do is lie on
YOUR side on the floor, head pill
lowed on the under arm. other
hand out chest level on floor for
support, legs straight down, and
swing legs from hips in a SciS-
sors-llke action, one leg back,
the other forward.
If you would just do II for
80 counts every day. you
wouldn't have 10 worry about
the girdle rationing THE 80
counts means on each sidc).
Another Good One
Another standby Mary particu-
larly likes is this: LieVpn your
back on floor. arms extended
straight up on floor overhead;
legs straight down, and, without
letting feet come of the floor.
swing arms and trunk up until
you are in sitting position, then
bend over and touch fingers 10
outstretched toes. Finally. very
slowly lower trunk backward
until you are again in starting
position Repeat slX times.
Any thin girl would get Just

muscles. But. having been

A Church That HELPS
Its Members

NEW YORK - There are few
churches, if any, among Negroes,
which have taken up labor's cud-
gels to the degree or with the
vigor such as has the Abyssinian
Baptist church. Sparked by the
energy and guided by the fore
sight of it's young, militant and
dynamic pastor, the Rev. Adam
Clayton Powell, Jr, Abyssinian
has taken hold, in no uncertain
terms, of the problems that must
be met today by its worshippers
and have championed them the
better that it's people might find
a wholesome living on earth while
preparing for the hereafter.
Today this great church looks
to it's laurels las it readies itself
to acknowledge the labor move
ment on Thursday, February 25,
a proceeding that is a part of the
month-long celebration, begun on
years in Harlem. A. Philip Ran
dolph, international president Of
the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
pnrtofvJ 1aSiI, tsts s5V,ffi4srs,
of the Negro Labor Victory COM
mittee; and Max Yergan, presi-
dent of the National Negro Con-
gress, with other outstanding la
Dor leaders, will themselves pay
homage to Abyssinian's contribu-
ton to the economic life of Har-
lem.
In 1923 the congregation of
1000 souls moved up to Harlem
from its smaller quarters in West
40th street, there to begin a aew
life and to bring a helping hand
to growing community. The
flock was led by DR.. Adam Clay
ton Powell, ST., pastor emeritus.
The $4,000 enrolled members of
the church today have never re-
linquished the standard nor verred
from the course they had charted.
Besides this huge membership
the church boasts a federal cred
1t union worth $32 900, coopera-
tive church insurance CARRYING
policies valued at $4,000. a con-
sumers cooperative society with
ESQ shareholders, and spends $780,
900 annually to maintain this
plant and program. Indeed there
must be some formula for achiev-
ing so enviable a record.
There is," declares DR.. Powell,
Jr., who by the way is the first
and only Negro member of the
New York city council. Simply
the recognition fthe fact that

to acquire larger quarters else
where.
The cooperative church insur-
ance, known as the Friendly So
ciety, reorganized in 1885. The
membership runs to over 1000
persons now.
This is the sort of thing DR..
w. E. B. Dubois, author and lee
turer, was speaking of when he
declared that the church is the
suitable nucleus for the establish
ment and development of the con-
sumner movement in America. This
is the sort of thing that Abyssin-
ian ha sset for itself to do. But
to buy one must earn" says DR.
Powell, Ito earn one must work.
Work-or production as it is call
eds highly organized; and
workers are organizing the better
to work. Abyssinians see this and
are following through on a pro-
gram that conforms to this
changed pattern. We here see la
Dor on the march and we become
a part of it to improve our own
lot and the lot of our fellowmen. ="

ABOUT SEGREGATION
By ALICE SIMMONS cox

One of the most important
statements made during the past
year in regard to race relations
in America came from the pen of
Elmer Anderson Carter, a mem
Der of the unemployment insur-
ance appeal board, New York
State Department of Labor, as he
wrote for the special color issue
of Survey Graphic in November;
The majority of Americans are
not deliberately hostile to the
participation fthe Negro in the
benefits of democracy. What the
majority of Americans do not
realize is that equality in these
benefits which in a democracy
should be the heritage of all men,
can never be attained under a
system of racial segregation.
This statement is as sound and
true as it is audacious and clear.
In the facts and reasoning which
Mr.. Carter presents to prove his
point, he will surely strengthen
the new tide of opinion among
leaders of both colored and white
races disfavoring segregation in
any of it's forms. Until very re-
Gently even sincere workers for
advancement of the Negro, wheth-
er white or colored, were most of
them protagonists of bi-racial
progress-the parallel way-or
whatever they chose to cal lit.
They now begin to see that prog
ress in perpendicular or parallel
paths has had its day of service
in proving the capacity of the
Negro to himself and to others.
Baha'is reading Mr.. Carter's
article entitled shadows of the
Slave Tradition" see with graft
tude this evidence of a coming
understanding that the welfare of
all humanity lies in the processes
that contribute to unity rather
than to separation. 1t Is not in
separate cultures, adjacent to one
another by virtue of a common
country or locality, but in the
development of an inter-depend-
ent and cooperative civilization

in which barriers of race, class
and creedal prejudice are swept
away and the virtues of peoples
blended, that America is destined
to emerge from it's present crisis,
Baha'is are assured. The present
awakening in our nation and the
present struggle of conflicting
ideas and forces here and through
out the world are aspects OF one
worldwide birth agony 70 an un-
precedented and universal age of
brotherhood. peace and human
progress. Such an age bringing
the Kingdom of God to earth can
not accept segregation with its
limitation and warping of the hu-
man soul. From the Bahais view
point Mr.. Carter has cut through
the muddled thinking on race
problems to see a ray of that light
of unity which is the spirit of
the new age.
From the present condition of
prejudice and injustice in the
world at this hour to wide recog-
milton of the basic oneness Of hu-
manity and achievement of unity
in living together, there are diff
cult problems to be faced-many
old and long g-outmoded patterns
of society, now breaking under the
strain, to be replaced by new,
with wisdom and care. Setting the
goal clearly, however, and with
out compromise as we are be-
ginning to do. brings ever nearer
the day of achievement. With the
press of conditions and the great
er cooperation and deeper think
ing forced upon us, we can dare
to hope the shadows of the slave
tradition may at long last be
growing thin.
