destruction of civilization. Mrs.

Evil Forces at Work
Certain forces are at work to
divide people in America" Mrs.

bounds. Other groups are growing
to spread hatreds and Hitler-like
doctrines. Unless the problem of
group relationships is solved, the

It's the little. things that mean SO
much-jCst. smile, a loving word
or a remembrance on Valentines
Day.
The gift needn't be expensive
because it's the thought behind it
that really matters. By the same
token, it does not necessarily have
to be a gift. A lovely, well chosen
card can convey your sentiments
just as well.
For that matter, one needn't buy
a card. An informal note, sincerely
and honestly written will go long
way toward making you well re
membered by the recipient.
Manufacturers have certainly
commercialized on Special days of
the year and have made fortune
on their "gift wrapped packages
and Canned verse" If given little
thought, time and effort, your gift
could be so much more appropriate
because you would not be producing
it on large scale. 1t would have
that important personal touch.
A gift, whether it be homemade,
"store bought, or what have you,
means so much more when care
fully chosen, delightfully."- wrapped
or presented in novel manner.

"Traviata"
To Be Done
WithFineCast

Early last fall group of singers,
both professional and amateur, met
at the New York City Of Berthu
Fitzhughs for the purpose of or
ganizing the Negro Civic Opera
Guild. As a result Of that meeting
there will take to the road next
month the first all-Negro grand
opera company in thes history Of
classical music to have the temerity
to strike out on a coast to coast
tour, competing with the best that
the classical music field has to
offer.
Of course, members of the Ne
gro race have presented grand
aoera performances in the past,
but with one or two exceptions
they were more, or less of local
nature. The exception to the rule
was the company which opened in
Pittsburgh, played Philadelphia,
filled the Madison Square Garden
/ in New York and just to prove they
could do it again filed the historic
Carnegie Hall, a month later.
Ready to Perform
Since that meeting last fall 55
members of the Guild have been
rehearsing diligently and they now
feel themselves ready to give an
operate performance that will be
a credit to the "Old Masters"
Starting from complete scratch
it was no easy task -. Their first
opera is .Verdi's Travieta and they
are singing in English.
! The company, when it hits
the road in March, will carry a
complete set of new scenery and
costumes. 1t will be spported by
a ballet and a symphony orchestra
The conductor is Giuseppe Furgi,
the only white member Of the cast,
who has trained and drilled the
singers since the start Of rehear-
sails.
Staging and directing is being
done by Flora Sherman, (Soprano)

Noble SissIe
Dedicates Soma

Praises General
For Unbiased
Army Practices

PARISH (ANP)-Thousand of
GIs are now familiar with the ''Red
Ball Line" a new war song dedi-
Gated to Gen. George w. Patten
Jr., and his dashing third army
by Noble Sissle, famous bandlead-
er and Snowman. Sissle's USO
show has featured the song during
tours of army camps in Europe.
A hard fighting man, Gen. Pat
ton was familiarly known as "blood
and CUTS" by his command and
gained the reputation of being just
as fair as he was rough. He re-
warded his soldiers on the basis of
performance rather than on the
basis of color, members of his army
have declared
The story of SGT. Frances Rob-
erts' promotion to first lieutenant
on the field of battle is typical
example of Patton's battle reac-
ton. Roberts, a member of quar-
termaster outfit attached to the
generals army, and his men were
assigned the task of keeping the
third army tanks supplied with
gasoline. They travelled far ahead
of the smashing tanks only to find
themselves deep into Germany.
Promoted On Spot
Afraid Of being captured with
the valuable oil, they decided to
puncture the oil tanks and hide
when they saw the general leading
the advance forces Of the army up
the road, with his silver guns
swinging at his side. Gen. Patton
leaped from his tank, expressed
gratitude for having the fuel on the
spot, and Immediately promoted
Roberts from a sergeant to first
lieutenant. Sgt. Roberts is the son
of Maj. Homer Roberts, formerly
attached to the bureau of public
relations of the war department.
The sergeant, who had carried
silver bars in his pocket in antici-
patton of someday becoming a
commissioned officer, pulled out the
bars and gave them to Gen. Pat
ton to pin on his shoulders. Rob
erts' bars were present from Mrs
Jeanette Mahoney of Hollywood
who also believed that he would
someday become an officer, and
were given to him before he went
into action.
Sisslo is exected TO feature the
song, "Red Ball Line in his show

birth, without anesthesia and with
out pain, is not only possible-it
happens every day.
Conditioning
1t is DR.. Reads contention that
the accepted relation between fear
and muscular tension applies in
childbirth. A woman has been con-
ditioned all her life to the "fact"
that childbirth is agony. With he:
mind full of exaggerated horrors,
she will find herself in labor and
interpret the first warning contrac.
tions as intense pain and fear viii
take over Immediately. The muscles
become tense and the tension brings
on real pain, which in turn causes
more fear.
Fear Triangle
This vicious triangle of fear.
tension and pain, says DR.. Read,
can be counteracted by explaining
in detail to the exp Giant mother
what goes on IN pregnancy ana
childbirth. Assurance for the pa
tient ranks first on his list. The
next practical step is to learn cer-
tain exercises which increases mo-
bility of the joints and to do them
regularly.
DR.. Read concludes by emphasiz-
ing the Importance of modifying
our scientific attitude of treating
only the pregnant body, and adding
treatment of the pregnant mind as
well.

The Charm Of You

Renie, dress designer for some Of
the Hollywood stars, has designed
an atom bomb all her own. Her
latest endeavor, an evening gown
with exposed back and bosom, is
causing as much comment among
men as among women.
When confronted with the ques-
ton, would you appear publicly
in such a gown" some Of Wash
ington's most smartly dressed wo-
men had this to say:
81 should say mott"
Some voiced the opinion that the
thoughts made them cold while
others stated that it would be just
the thing for the boudoir.
The menfolk had this to say
when asked, what do you think
of the new frontless and backless
evening gown?"
"Hubba, hubba, hubba!!!!"
IF frontless and backless tops,
why not frontless and backless
skirts?"
Sounds alright to me but / don't
think I'd like to have my wife ap-
pear in one"
"All | can say is that there would
certainly be some awful looking
sights"
From these comments and others
made throughout the country, it
would appear that the fair sex need
not worry about too much southern
exposure in the way of evening ap-
parel. Public opinion seems to have
way of taking care of suggestions
such as this.
