Freddie Didn't Know,
TSREDDIE STOKES graduated from high school last
IL year ahead of couple Of cute little gals
named Doris an Mildred.
Believe me, Freddie is a handsome hunk of young
man, an the Navy had no trouble at all maxim him
look like credit to the uniform.
As near as can get it. both Doris an Mildred
was in complete agreement about Freddie. That's
what they fell out about.
guess Freddie didn't know either one was in love
with him. Kids is shy about such things an Freddie
left in few weeks for somewhere in the Pacific.
WELL when Clason's store had its January white
sales each of the gals bought three pure Irish linen
crash towels with anchor designs - without teln'
the other.
Then Mildred an Doris not only finds out about
each others iocei but it also comes out that Freddie
is the other side of their little triangle even if he
doesn't know nothin' about it.
All spring the gals hadn't spoke. They come
in separate an avoid their usual crowd.
Last week Doris heard Freddie was engaged So
did Mildred. Part Of their friends thought it was
Freddie an Mildred. Part said it was Freddie an
Doris. The gals simply wouldn't talk.
guess Doris broke down first because she bobs in
yesterday with little package under her arm She
went over an phoned Mildred
Come on down to Waly's" Doris says. 81 got
somethin' for you''
In ABOUT Is minutes Mildred shows up also canyin'
package nicely done up in ribbons
They trade packages half cryin' an half laughin'
like gals do when they're maxim up.
! suppose you already guessed what was in the
packages.
What should happen just then but oil man Stokes.
Freddie's dad, walks in.
Hello, girls" he greets EN- What do you think!
Freddie's engaged to girl in Anstralia!"
The girls look at each other - start to open their
mouths - catch their breaths. try to keep from
Dustin wide open.
I'VE can give 'em to somebody at shoscer," Mil
dred says to Doris. Come on let's 60 to the USO

ier taxes unnecessary. /
As an illustration how
the Washington bureaucracy |
thrives and grows: The other |
day, while considering the |
new fiscal years appropri-
stions for the Treasury De
partment, the attention Of the
House was called to the fact
that tWenty-seven messengers
were on the payroll to serve
thirteen people in Secretary
Of the Treasury Morgenthau's
office. The Appropriations
Committee cut the number to
eighteen, but an indignant
House, feeling that one mes
senger per person should be
sufficient, reduced the number
to thirteen by an amendment
adopted on the Floor. During
the consideration of this bill
it was also discovered that
| the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing had requested an in
creased appropriation Of $3.50,
10000 because of need for
| additional cigarette stamps,
while on the other hand, the
| Bureau Of the Budget had re-
ported to Congress that a de-
creased revenue of many mil
lions Of dollars from cigarette
taxes could be expected in the
coming year.

Clearly, membership III an
ethnic or racial group which
has superior status in a given
community IS a psychological
gain for an individual. 1t frees
him by the very fact Of birth
from a whole system of limita
tions, punishments and stig-
mas to which the members Of
subordinate race are sub.
ject,' the educator points out
On the other hand, d per.
sons racial status may be ex.
pected to have marked effec,
upon his personality IF his
race is subordinated in com

group is ashamed of its cul

of the dominant group, and il
it has no integrated society o1

The Negro in the South
subjected to an inferior caste
status has developed attitudes
and behavior patterns de
signed to expedite his inter
racial relations with the re
suit that his personality is
affected to such an extent that
he appears subservient, non
aggressive ard spineless.
This reaction, however. is
merely an expelient. When
the colored child is learning to
behave as loWer-caste per-
son, he is finding a method Of
acting within the frustrating
taboos Of caste so that he may
teacil those limited and susti-
ta1fe goals which the society
does allow him.
