or harmful. The necessary amount
Of sleep varies with the age and
activities of the individual.
Two Kinds of Sleep
Doctors Hughes and Jones be-
lieve that there are two kinds Of
sleep, physiologic and psychologist.
Physiologic is profound and deep.
Psychologist is less deep and dur
ing it mental activities continue in
the form of dreams. Psychologist
sleep is regulated by custom and
habit. Such things as bright lights,
loud noises and worry over per-
sonal problems viii delay sound
sleep and cause ftful waking from
light sleep. A voluntary effort to
90 to sleep will invariably produce
wakefulness. If the person with
insomnia can substitute a dull
train of thought for more stimu-
lating things, sleep will come o
quickly, but sleep-producing drugs
are often necessary to promote re-
Taxation.
As soon as a natural sleep habit
is restored, the use Of sleep-pro-
ducing drugs should be dlscon-
tinued. A brisk walk, a warm bath.

Summertime Diet

most pronounced effect on the
chemical activities in the body and
fats and oils the least. Their re-
suits, therefore, suggest that 1T IS
not necessary or ever advisable to
diminish the protein content of
the diet for human beings during
warm weather in order to help
keep cool and avoid overheating.
In fact, their work would seem to
indicate that it may be well to
use a diet containing plenty of
fats during the warmer months as
is done in some tropical countries.
Plenty of Proteins
The eating of plenty Of protein
foods in the summer will not cause
a heating effect in the body and
increase hot weather discomfort.
While this idea is contrary to that
theory which was proposed years
ago, it would appear on the basis
of the evidence to be substantially
correct.
1t is just as important in warm
weather as during the colder
months to keep the diet balanced.
This means enough protein foods
to furnish materials for repair Of
tissues and for growth in the child.
1t means enough starches, sugars,
fats, and particularly. vegetables
and fruits, to supply vitamins and
minerals. Of course, it is always
a good plan to have plenty Of
fluids in the diet, especially dur
ing warmer months to aid in the
elimination of wastes and TO helm
regulate body temperature.

Worry Over Sleeplessness

The worry over the sleeplessness
makes the person less able to sleep.
If certain persons learn, from ex-
p~erience, that only four to six
hours of deep, sound sleep at night
are required for health and that
whenever that amount of sleep Is
lacking, sleep viii inevitably occur;
if those persons viii attain a sane
attitude toward their problem, as
soon as they stop worrying about
the probable effects of their sleep
lessness, sleep will come naturally.

MANY people, especially as
they get older, find it difficult to
sleep and this condition auses
them a great deal Of worry. Sleep
lessness is caused by a number of
conditions. Sleeplessness caused by
discomfort or by disease is usu-
ally corrected whenever the un-
DERIVING disease or other cause is
eliminated. However, when the pa
tient has only sleeplessness and no
other complaint, then the most I'M
portant element in getting rid of
it is Just to feel assured that lack
of sleep will do ne harm and quit
worrying about it.
No one even died Of sleepless-
ness. SO say Doctors Laurence
Hughes and $. Evan Jones of Aus
tralia. Unfortunately a person
who suffers from slecplessness
usually is fearful of the conse-
qucnces and builds up in his own
mind a long list Of complaints that
are supposedly caused by lack of
sleep and 80 a vicious circle is
formed,

Havre on a much slower vessel.
The veterans, members of a
quartermaster truck unit, were
scheduled to sail for the United
States on the Croatan from LIE
Havre on December 4. But, over
protests of Army officers, their
names were stricken from the sail
ing list at the insistence of Navy
officers, who argued that the
Navy's policy was not to mix the
races and pointed out that the
facilities on the aircraft carrier
would not permit segregation in

Truman Silent
On Houston
Walk-Out

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA).
President Truman had no COM
ment to make on the resignation
of Charles H. Houston from the
Fair Employment Practice Com
mittee, in addition to his viewpoint
set out in his letter accepting the
resignation.
In reply to a question at his
press and radio conference, last
Friday afternoon, Mr.. Truman re-
ferred to his letter accepting Mr..
Houston's resignation, which, he
said, covers the situation very thor
oughly.
Mr.. Truman wrote Mr.. Houston
that there was an apparent con-
f1ict between existing law, and the
directive the FEPC proposed to
issue to Capital Transit Company
ordering it to cease discriminatory
practices in it's hiring of street car
motormen and conductors and bus
operators.
81 cannot contravene an act of
Congress to carry out the present
Committees aims" the President
said.

In a typewriter document
brought to the Minneapolis Spokes-

ums, and signed by four members
of the church congregation, Lena
H. Cobb, Floyd Cobb, Wenzel Mil
Ter, former treasurer of the Build
ing Fund, and Vicious Alternately,
former president of the Wayman
choir, the following charges were
made:
Wayman membership is de-
Ginning;
. the financial status of the
church is so low that the few out
standing expenses can barely be
paid;
. misappropriation of funds;
. complete disregard for disci-
plinary procedure in elections of
officers and boards;
. dismissal from office by Rev.

against me, 1 want the people to
know the truth behind this whole
thing. I invite anyone who has any
doubts to investigate the activities
of the church"
In regard to the charge of mis-
apprOpriating funds, Rev. Ash
ford stated: Il have in my pos
session proof that there is no
foundation whatever in the ac-
cusatiOn. The secretary of the
department that issues the checks
has even more proof of falsehOOd
than l."
The minister said angrily,
Fourteen months ago, l found
this church under the dictator
ship of certain Old-line bosses.
They wanted to run Wayman
their way and they wanted to

deemed "uncooperative";
. derogatory public statements
about individual church members
made by the minister.
. the alleged misrepresentation of
funds occurred, according to a
signed statement by Miller, on July
9, 1915, when "a check in the sum
of ten dollars was given to Rev.
Ashford to be applied to the Build
ing Fund, but that instead of pay
ing the same into the fund, Ash
ford cashed the check and appro-
priated the proceeds to his own per-
sonal USE"
The statement charged the pas
tor "has not replaced said money,
nor given any explanation for his
act, and that in doing so, Ashford
committed embezzlement of funds"

day, when her eight-year-old son,
James, came home from Greedy
school, 18th Ave. S. and 26th St.,
and told her he had been in a play
in his classroom, but she wasn't
pleased when he told her he'd
played the role of little Black
Sambo," who was chased by a wolf
until he got so frightened he turned
into a piece of butter.
Mrs. Jones contacted Miss Jenny
Holtz, principal of Greedy, and after
a series of telephone calls, got in
touch with Superintendent of
Schools Willard Goslin at his home.
Mr.. Goslin arranged a meeting on
Monday between Mrs. Jones, Miss
Holtz, and Mrs. Florence Ander-
son, James teacher, but action in
the matter was postponed until a
Wednesday meeting when Mrs.
Jones' husband, James Jones, ST.,
could be present.
On Tuesday, Miss Holtz in
telephone conversation with a re-
porter from this paper, said that
steps would be taken to prevent
repetition of the incident, and Mrs.
Jones was told the Literature would
be removed" from the classroom.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Jones who at
tends parent-teacher meetings reg
ularly at the school, said she be-
lieved Negro mothers should be on
the alert, attend PTA meetings,
and take more interest in what goes
on in their children's classes.
Civic and social groups, both Ne
gro and white, are pushing the de-
mand in many cities that the "Little
Black Sambo" books be removed
from public schools because of the
stereotyped conception of Negroes
they form in impressionable minds
of youngsters.
