The Women
Want Glamor
BY RUTH MILLETT

The two glamor gals of Con-
gress, Helen Gahagan Douglas and
Clare Boothe Luce, are protesting
that they are tired of the beauty
build-up they have been getting,
and want only to be treated as
dignified members Of Congress.
If you really mean it, ladies,
its a cinch. Just go down and
buy yourselves some flat-heeled OK
fords-and wear them.
Buy yourselves a couple of tail
ored suits each, nothing fancy
just good substantial suits, n
wear them without trucking them
up with lapel jewelry or eye-catch-
ing bracelets.
Leave those bows out of your
hair. And while on the subject OF
hair, try wearing yours severely
pulled back from the face with a
neat bun in the back. And go easy
On the makeup.
1t would help, too, if you'd put
On a few pounds, the way women
your age do if they don't count
their calories. If you're really fed
up with the glamor ballyhoo. those
steps, none Of them difficult, are
sure to relieve you of it in short
order
CHOSE SPOTLIGHT
But no woman expects to follow
them. Just as no woman will ever
believe that a couple of women
who have chosen spotlight careers
really object to the spotlight.
Or that any woman in her forties
would ever get bored with the idea
CT herself as glamor girl. If you
earn the adjective "glamorous
when you're 40 you have worked
for it, and worked hard 1t doesn't
just happen. And when you've
achieved it - you aren't put out
about it:
So who are you trying to kid.
Mrs, Luce and Mrs. Douglas? Not
THE Women,'' surely.

Joint Committees On Appro-

BY Staff Writer

~
Raleigh-(Specia) - A pro-
posal to allow credit for Federal
income tax payments in State in
come tax returns-the first eff
fort to alter the existing tax
structure of the State-was in the
hands of the Legislatures finance
committee yesterday for its study.
The measure was introduced in
the House by Rep. LeGrand of
New Hanover.
Governor Cherry said of the
proposal:
1. That, if adopted, it would
represent a major change in the
States tax pattern, and was there
fore in opposition to his recon-
mendations to the Legislature,
and
2. That the enactment of the
bill would mean a great loss in
revenue to the State.
In the meantime, both Houses
of the General Assembly recon-
vened yesterday to tackle other
new business to be dumped into
the legislative mill, and the joint
committees on appropriations and
finance were scheduled to con-

Deraill1aent Here
Wreck Took Place Last Thurs
day; Little Delay In Serv-
ice Friday

An unsual train derailment oc-
cured pproxitnately four miles
below West Jefferson last Thurs
day afternoon when three cars,
uncoupled from the main part of
the train, rolled down grade to
the rocky bluff at Buffalo and
were derai1ed, with the four pas
sengers rniraculously escaping
any serious injuries.
The four passengers were taken
immediately to the Ashe hospital
for examination and first aid
treatment and only one, Mrs. Cal
Their Howell, Warrensville, was
kept for treatment. She was re-
leased on Saturday after being
treated for minor cuts, bruises
and shock.
The passenger car, which led
the three, received the hardest
blow when it struck the rocks
and was derailed. Windows were
broken out as were seats and
much other damage was done by
the impact. The four passengers,
who were the only people on the
train at the time it hit the bluff
used presence of mind enough to
come to the back of the car and
lie down. This is believed to have
saved them from any serious in
juries.
The crew coach, which joined
the passenger coach was damaged
by the impact as well as by fire,
which broke out when hot stove
overturned setting fire to cloth
ing and other articles.
The mail coach, which was in
the rear, was damaged the least.
All mail was returned to the post
office at once by officials.
