Wendell Jones
Named Delegate
To NAACP Meet

Wendell C. Jones was elected
Mill City delegate to the annual ma
tional conference of the NAACP
at Detroit the first week in June.
Mr.. Jones was elected Sunday at
the regular meeting of the branch.
public Decorum" was the sub
ject of panel discussion in which
six public figures discussed the eff
feet on Negro welfare of the pub
lie conduct of that group.
Leo Bohannon, city employe,
served as moderator for the panel.
I. Myrtle Garden, head resident of
Halle @. Brown House, st. Paul,
said: Good behavior is the means
of securing for the Negro the more
essential things of life"
De Velma Newman, newspaper
woman, said: Northern Negroes in
most cases cannot excuse poor pub
lie conduct by ascribing it to lack
of training. Northern Negroes
have access to schools and much
contact with the white group in in
dustry."
"The ability of Negroes to keep
some of the gains that they have
made in industry are predicated on
the manner in which they apply
themselves and their conduct and
application on the job" J. W. Pate,
Ordnance plant executive, said.
Leonard Pittman, youthful war
plant worker, said: "The principal
reason why the young Negroes as
sumo the 4 don't care attitude is
because they feel that they have
nothing to look forward to-"
The "zoot suit" and the general
behavior of the young folks occu-
pied a considerable part of the
panel discussion.
Miss Lorraine Curry, vice-presi-
dent of the city-wide Girl Reserve
Council, threw the responsibility
for the conduct and attitude of the
young people in the laps of the
parents.
Behavior, good or bad, can be
traced to the home, she asserted.
Parents" she said, don't value
decorum as one of the elements of
education. Churches do not give
youth an opportunity to acquaint
themselves with more cultural ac-
tivities."
Rev. J. w. Kelly of Border M. E.
church said that many charges
leveled at Negroes were partly
true. He pointed out that too many
of them do not value time or prom
ises and they do not respect public
property.
Members of the audience includ-
ing visitors took part in the gen.
eral discussion that took place.

Bob GrOebel, Manager At Royal Diamond & Watch

SAYS AS you may know. watch materials are becoming very scarce and with this in mind it becomes more necessary that everybody take good care of the timepiece they now own. i. I would like to remind Electric Boat employees to be extra care- full with their watches. With the hot weather here, we have al- ready had number of cases where people have gone in swim ming with their watches. It's bad enough to get fresh water inside a watch, but salt water can com pletely ruin the best watch with in two hours after it has been immersed
 If anyone should forget about their watch and go swimming in salt water here is what you should do:
 Remove the movement within one hour and set it in oil. AL most any oil will do, fuel, kero- sine, olive, or salad oil, and just move the watch movement gently through the oil for a minute be- fore letting it stay there Take it to a watchmaker as soon as pos sible. It's better to have the watch cleaned than to lose it al- together.

Strolling through Dept. 3O5 one sees many strange and curious things

 Then there's that handsome one he runs big machine-very well, too. He treats 'em all alike, but he's-well-aloof.
 An! We musn't forget, but per haps you didn't know, we have a Fred Astaire in our midst. You knoW-the one with the silver streak in his hair-like a fox-or what is that other animal with the white streak down its back? He's an all-around casanova, but there's no partialiW down here either, darn it.
 But here's something you must have noticed-how all the girls and say this with no exceptions follow with their eyes that cer- tain charming inspector with the Ipana smile, and great big eyes | so soulful looking-Sorta like our COW BetSy's. But he certainly has what it takes-be it eyes-or what have you.
 You musn't forget "our little casanova" You know the one who has the gal from the inspection table around most of the time. The rest of the time it's everyone's else. Fellows and girls alike this kid has personality plus. Now the gals. First correction from last issue. That little lady on the turrets is doing o. K. for herself--both in the running of the turrets and otherwise.
 What about the little Irish las sic who-altho' she fits here and there-her heart is really locked behind barbed wire fence at Fort Trumbull. I wonder if that's how she received the scratch on her nose-peering through the barbed wire? I hear from good sources the reason she was out a week she was confined with bad case of "Semper Paratis."
