tor, announced after an informal
meeting with tobacco jobbers and
wholesalers that beginning early
next week stores will put their ciga-

Lauren Bacall, Warner Broth
er's latest entry in the cinema
sweepstakes, is a Jewish girl,
from typical Middle class New
York family.
The first time I saw Lauren
Bacall - her name was Betty
then - was at a Junior League
dance of Temple B'nai Jeshurin
in New York City, in 1889. She
was about fifteen at the time,
but the makings of something
more than the average person.
atty were already in evidence. I
don't say that any of us who
knew her then ever dreamed she
would have become the overnight
sensation she is, but the attrac-
tive blonde hair, the physical
grace and the natural poise were
not easily overlooked, even at
that age.
Betty was born in New York
City on September Is, 1924. She
is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Perske, who are now di-
vorced, and was brought up by
her mother and grandmother in
a west-side apartment in mid
town New York. Her mother is
still quite young and she and
Betty are close companions.
About her father, Charleston, S.
c. medical equipment dealer, she
says little.
Her early education was receiv-
ed in New York City public
schools and she later attended

Citizens:
Do we want Ohio to be state
where employers can, on the basis

work we must have to live? Or do
we want this to be just state
where we can go to any and every

of our fitness for the job?
Of course we want the latter.
We do not want to see any more
"white only" signs. We do not
want to be forced to accept a small

cause the higher paid job for which
we may be qualified has a "white
only" sign on it. We do not want
to be denied, nor to have our chill
dren denied, the right to live be-
cause some heartless men or cor

We know, however, that we never

down and wishing. Frederick Doug
lass taught us that the man who
expects freedom without struggle
is like farmer who expects crops
without plowing. We must act. We
must struggle.
We know that the temporary
Roosevelt Fair Employment Prac-
tices Committee has done much to
break down the barriers to Negro
employment. But we also know
there needs to be a law, permanent
and with teeth in it, to force justice
and fair play upon those who do
not believe in justice. There must

New York State already has such
a law. 1t was won by the united
struggle of the Negro people and
their allies Especially the CIO),
white liberals and progressive state
senators and assemblymen, Negro
and white.
In Columbus a bill has been
drawn up that will, if enacted into
law, make Ohio the just state we
want. Senator Kermit Kirkendall
a CIO official from Dayton, is do
