Quite often when one is in a
hurry to mail a letter, there will
be but one stamp and it has no
muiclage on its back. In this pre-
dicament all necessary is to mois-
ten the mucilage flap on another
envelope, the stamp over the dam
pened part quickly, then place on
the letter to be mailed.
Mending A Cracked Range
A crack on the inside of a range
can be mended by using a filler
made of equal parts of common
table salt and wool ashes, moist
ened with water to the proper con-
consistecy. The filler will dry hard
and will be lasting.
The Hanqing-Basket
A novel way to water the hang
ing-basket, without spilling water
on the floor, is to insert a small
funnel in the dirt, as near the
center Of the basket as possible,
and hidden by the foliage. Fill
funnel with water every day, and
it will soak into the soil gradually.
Testing Coffee
A way to test the quality Of
coffee is to put a spoonful in a
glass of cold water and add a
few drops of lemon juice. If the
coffee is pure it will remain on
top of the water; if not, the water
will become brown in color.
The Patch Bag
! A most practical patch bag
can be made from a yard or two
Of mosquito netting. This enables
one to see the contents from the
outside, and there is no necessity
for emptying the entire contents
to find the exact piece Of goods
wanted.

When Producer Milton Sperling
launched Ever the Beginning, a
turnof-the-centuy story about
immigrants in New York, it was
necessary to delete several old
idioms from the dialogue, because
Sperling decided that the mo-
dern public couldn't understand
'em. The idioms follow. If you can
them correctly, you're
either an old-time hotfoot or
you've been sneaking peeks at
your grandfather's diary.
1. Kiss me. Pm your looypop!

STRAWS IN THE WIND
BY Alfred Baker Lewis
Member Of Board. NAAcP

"cfitoSv VI ooutu, NM
The fact that prominent student
leaders in the University Of Tex
as (the student body is wholly
white) have held meetings to sup
port the admission of Negro stu
dents to the University is indicat
i've of the new attitude toward
race relations in some parts and
among groups of the white South.
Efforts to tear down the iron
curtain of prejudice, segregation
and discrimination between the
two racial groups are not as Wig
orous as they should be, but ef-
forts are being made and on a
greater scale than ever before.
One swallow does not make O
summer but it is the herald of
summer to come. The further fact
that several of these student
leaders have undertaken to form
a college chapter of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People Youth Council
shows that they understand clear.
ly enough the full implications
of their stand against discrim.
nation in educational opportun.
tiles.
In addition to the students. the
workers too are changing some
what in their attitudes. Both the
A. F. Of L. and the c. I. o. have
gained membership as a result
of the organizing drive which
they are conducting in the South.
The gains have not been spect-
acular and less than the extra
VACANT figures announced in the
publicity which accompanied the
launching of the drives. But the
gains have bsen solid, as much
as could have been reasonably ex-
pectsd in view of the anti-union
campaign which has been con-
Quoted in the columns of react
ionary newspapers, and the or
ganizing campaign is still under
way.
The CLIO leaders are resolutely
opposed to racial discrimination
by their unions, The leaders of the
AFL have taken a similar strong
stand, although individual ma
tional unions affiliated with the
AFL r not disciplined if they
violate this policy by maintain.
ing a color bar.
- highly significant develop
ment on the AFL side is the in
creasing strength and activity of
the National Farm Labor I'm
ion, which organizes farm labor
ers and sharecroppers, Negro,
white and Mexican, without any
distinction in race whatever.
This union had maintained a pre-
carious existence in the Mississ-
ippi Delta area for about ten
years and has recently affiliated
with the AFL, whose organizers
are adding to Its membership
now in Alabama, Florida, Texas.
and Southern California. The
union tackles with determine.
ton the problem of economic ex-
~ploitation and lack of legal pro-
lection by such measures as the
Social Security laws from which
the farm laborers of every race
suffer. BY teaching them to work
together for economic aims that
are Of common benefit to all.
they learn to know each other
and to appreciate the need for
each others support. Thus the
barriers Of prejudice, segregation.
and discrimination art undermin-
ed more effectively and more
quickly in some cases than would
be possible by a more direct as.
sault in that part of the country.

 m# ##
 Speaking of being definite -. there's a definite movement a-foo1 in Wrangell to see if something cant be done about the above mentioned Development Board. Far be it from Wrangelrs progressive .citizens to try and repair ALL of what the Legislature HASN'T done but Wrangell is for the Develop ment Beard and is talking of pro noting a movement, along with other towns which also want to see Alaska keep moving ahead, 'o try and raise money to keep the Board functioning. WrangelI is willing to do it's share and thinks other towns, if preached on the subject, would contribute too. Al least, it's a thought worth con sidering.
