 Last night at e:l0 p. m., the Republican nominee stepped up to the platform of the convention hall, in his great bid to measure up to that opportunity.
 Faced with the candidate of their unanimous choice, the convention crowd gave him a tremendous ova- tion.
 Honesty forces this one Republi- can to say that when he began there was more enthusiasm than warmth in the ovation. The warmth had been somewhat spent on the gallant John Bricker who had stolen the emotional spotlight yesterday morning with a demonstration of sportsmanship so sincere and grace full that he had won every heart.
 Thomas Dewey did nothing to Tekindle the warmth for himself, but he certainly did nothing to dampen

 He looked young and strong and completely calm. He even looked cool--for the first few minutes.
 But young Tom Dewey wasn't making any apologies for his youth. He wasn't bragglug, either. but he certainly wasn't apologizlng.

born to the couple which added
much to the happiness of this "per-
feet union" All was peaches and
cream until our hero was drafted
into the U. S. Army. After the
young hubby left, something hap
pened to our heroine. She became
a little too gay and reckless and
spent all her time chasing round
with young single men and other
women's husbands. All this time
the husband in our story has never
doubted his wife. He believes her
to be as sincere and devoted as the
day he left. When he was home on
furlough few months ago, none Of
his relatives nor his friends dared
tell him of his wife's daring esca-
pades.
Now here's the catch. Our hero
is going to receive an honorable dis
charge from the army. He's so
happy and has decided not to tell his
wife anything about the good news.
(Golly, is fire ever going to fly when
hubby comes back to town, unbe-
nownst to anyone, and finds wife
carrying on like she has been do
ing.) Your guess is as good as mine
as to what will happen.

Minneapolis Observes Race
Relations Week; Meetings
and Breakfasts Presented

Familiarity does not breed con-
tempt" said DR.. Samuel M. Strong,
Department of Sociology, Macal-
ester College, Sunday night at the
Race Relations meeting, Benton
Hall, YWCA.
The stressing of similarities
rather than differences in our ed
ucational approach is necessary to
change false conceptions about
American culture and the various
races and nationalities. DR.. Strong
addressed a large audience which
listened attentively to his stirring
words denouncing bigotry and ra-
cial intolerance.
Helen Parker Mudgett, History
Instructor at the University of
Minnesota, called attention to the
need for manliness and vision in the
solution of Americas race problems.
The impressive play pageant, eve,
The People," was presented by the
Phyllis Wheatley Drama Society
under the able direction of Miss
Grace Walker.
The meeting was sponsored by
the Minneapolis Interracial Com
mittee under the direction Of the
Interracial Committee of the Min
neapolis Urban League, a War
Chest Agency. Interracial Week is
being observed in Minneapolis dur
ing the week of February 10 to 10.
The keynote address was broad
cast by Leo Bohanon over WLOL,
Saturday morning, February IL.
Among other features of the OBJ
servance was a radio broadcast on
Saturday evening over WLOL.
Henry Thomas and the Phyllis
Wheatley Male Quartette appeared
at this time. Judge E. F. Waite,
Chairman of the Interracial Com
mittee, was interviewed by Cedric
Adams over WCCO. A panel dis
cussion on Race Relations was
broadcast over KSTP Tuesday eve
ming. The participants on this panel
were DIR. Myron Morrill,, Cecil E.

him that other women have little

to see the Importance of a thing
of this kind. Tell me what to do?
Ans: Your husbands virtues
Outnumber his faults by a big ma
jOrity so you can well afford to
overlook his weakness for wanting
to handle all money there in the
household. Earn the extra money
for the few simple pleasures that
you wish to enjoy. You can easily

you must not become discouraged.

you will make a very good office

Judge Waite in giving an example
of the progress Negroes have made,
used the employment set up Of the
Federal cartridge plant. He stated
that there were Negroes working
as executives, secretaries, book
keepers, machine operators and all
other phases of the work in this
particular plant.
Mr.. Bohanon suggested that lib

about and in the course Of reading
they will be picked up and read
