DIETING A PLEASURE

DIETING A PLEASURE
I'm giving my tummy to Poland
To China Pm giving two chins;
A jowl I am giving to simplify
living
For BuIgars and Slovenes and
Firms.
Those rolls on my waistline are
going
To help a cause worthy and great;
While famine now marches Pm CIV
ing up starches-
This time my reducing can't wait.
("Henry and Clara Ford Married So
years."-Ne,os iteM.)
Here's to Henry Ford and Clara,
For so long a happy pair-a;
For So years they rode together
That's mileage, sir, in any weather!
Here's to Clara and here's to Hen!
On quite a journey they have been;
No couple made journey finer;
guess the bumps were pretty
minor!
The Hobos Of America have
voted to hold their 1947 convention
in Miami, because the cities usual
ly chosen are too cold in the spring.
In this announcement you have a
reflection of the American mood
these days. A bum used to be will
ing to take his fun where he could
find it, and always convenience of
locale and economic considerations
counted most. But now the climate
must be right regardless of travel
ing distance and general expenses.
The modern hobo refuses to loaf
except near the Gulf Stream and he
prefers to get there by plane.

NONE of the richest bless
ings life can win any one
~ of us is companionship.
Never underestimate it. No
matter how burdened your life
is with duties, responsibilities,
Interruptions, distractions,
financial and domestic worries,
don't complain as long as you
have someone with whom you
can share them.
Certain professional and business
women are enormously successful.
Some of them are rich. But if life
hasn't brought them companionship
they have nothing worth having,
and they know it. They go in for
nervous disorders, for bitterness,
for strange extravagances. They
keep reaching blindly about for the
precious, the inestimable treasure
that is companionship with some
other human soul, and they never
find it. They cannot find it. They
have destroyed the secret Of pos
sessing it, of winning it.
Yes, used the word winning
in this connection, because part Of
that secret of companionship is that
it never comes ready-made. You
have to work for it, to preserve it.
That's why letters like this one
from "Francoline' are so pathetic
in their innocence and so sad in their
certainty of disappointment.
"F'rancoline" is 19; she is going
to be married. This is part of her
letter:
"Mother objects to Paul. He is
just twice my age; not that 38 is
old for marriage, but mother thinks
it's old for the man who wants to
become my husband. He has been
married before, and he says he has
learned consideration the hard way.
He has two boys, aged 10 and 8,
and he adores them, and so do I.
Their mother has moved away and
left them here in school.
Complete Sympathy
''We will not have much money,
and that worries mother. 1 tell her
I am not marrying Paul for money.
I am marrying because of the COM
plete sympathy there is between us.
We laugh at the same things, we
like the same shows, we love to plan
what we will do someday when we
are rich. Our feeling for each other
is based on something much deeper
than a mere 'crush,' and we have
known each other ever since Paul
was in college and I was born.
"You feel, and you've often said,"
the letter concludes, "that compan-
ionship is the real base of happy
marriage. We are sure of it. I
am not taking Paul away from his
wife; except for her monthly ali
mony check he has no correspond
ence with her at all. He says he
never has really loved before; I
know never have, and that ! never
will again. I feel much more capa-
BILE of giving advice about marriage
than accepting it, but I would like
to know if you don't think this may
be a successful marriage?"
Francoline is 10, but she sounds
younger. She sounds about IL. She
is revelling in her first rapture of
young love, time of dreams and
delusions-beautiful, inevitable, but
pitiful, too. It is Paul that I blame
for this situation; Paul, who has
two boys, and divorced wife, and
who is twice Francoline's age.
My answer is: certainly you may
make a success of this marriage.
There is no marriage that may not
be turned into a success. A strong,

show keeps a'rolling and the crowd
continuously entertained.

scenes should get some recognition

has kept employment bars most
rigid, Jeffries points out that the
lessening of opposition to employ
Negroes is an encouraging sign.
According to survey made by
the New York State commission in
1888, investigating conditions of
the urban Negro population, there
was not a single Negro sales clerk
in any of the seven major depart
ment stores in New York City. How
ever, the first beachhead was estab-
lished during the war years, when,
led by the New York Urban league,
various civic groups requested de-
partment stores to hire colored en-
ployes. AS a result two of the city, S
leading firms employed Negroes as
sales clerks and clerical workers.
This move has spread to other de-
partment stores throughout the
country, with a result that in Chi
cago the local leagues women's di-
vision has formed an interracial
committee to secure employment
for Negro women in stores in Chi
cago's loop"

REPORT SHOWS INCREASED
OF NEGROES IN RETAIL
MERCHANDISING FIELD

NEW YORK, Aug. 10 (ANP).-|
A substantial gain in the use of
Negroes as sales and clerical work
ers in the retail merchandising
field throughout the country was
revealed by the National Urban
league here last week, in a depart
ment store manual, compiled by Le-
roy Jeffries, assistant director of
industrial relations department,
from reports of local leagues. The
manual, entitled "Integration of
Negroes in Department Stores" in
dicated that the greatest gains have
been made in New York, New Jer-
sey, and Massachusetts.
Jeffries stated that new job op-
portunities to Negroes are grad
ually opening up in a field which
was as late as 1888 "barred to Ne
groes as effectively as if by legisla-
tive fiat" Negroes are now being
used as sales and stock clerks, ste
nographers and personnel execu-
tives in ID large firms in the New
York area, while six clerks have
been reported placed in two New
ark stores. In Boston, several stores,
including small exclusive shops in
the Cambridge and Back Bay sec
tions, are using total of 20 Negro
sales girls in addition to clerical
workers. A number of department
stores in small western and mid
western towns are hiring Negro
clerks. Early this year, the first
Negro clerk was placed in depart
ment store in Milwaukee.

tries in which timidity on the part
