BY JUDITH LEE

More than dozen Negro nurses
and scores of Negro Red Cross
nurses aides are among the
medical and health personnel who
! served following the tragedy al
Texas City April 16 and II.
According to the Rev. James
Perryman. pastor of the Methodist
Galilee Church Of Texas City, and
a prominent Negro leader, 1.-THE
Red Cross has done. and is doing,
a bang-up job in Texas City
He adds that there have been
no discriminatory practices in any
awards the Red Cross has made
to anyone. The Red Cross is a
necessity in the American way OF
life"
Registrations for rehabilitation
aid are still being received daily
at Red Cross headquarters, where
staff of 40 national Red Cross
disaster relief workers, whose com
bined experiences totals in excess
OF $50 years, and scores of Red
Cross volunteers are still on duty.
An important phase of the expect
ed rehabilitation job will be the
vocational rehabilitation of work
ers who lost limbs in the disaster,
Red Cross officials believe. Be-
cause such assistance frequently
Is required over several years,
the Red Cross ha assured the
public that it will not close its
records on the operation till every
victim in need of Red Cross as
sistance is completely rehabilitat-
ed.
During the emergency phase of
the disaster 300 Negro families
were housed, fed and given neces-
sary clothing at the Red Cross
center in the schoolhouse at La
Marque, a neighboring community
In addition a number of Negro
families are among the 1000 re-
fugees housed under Red Cross
direction at Camp Wallace. A Ne
gro school at Dickinson, Texas,
was also used as a Red Cross
shelter during the emergency
phase.
While preliminary estimates only
are available, the Red Cross re-
ports that of the first 1900 Texas
City residents who registered with
the organizations relief headquart-

If ever she stopped the apple peel

"Took me long time to figure

How to Overcome Your Shyness

UUW " UvSIGUIIe VUb Ou yu6SS
She had come in to see me be-
cause she thought could help her
with problem that had been max
ing her life unpleasant for a long
time. Now that it was growing
worse, this thing in her life, she
thought she had to get outside help.
Her trouble was merely shyness.
Always she had been a shy person,
but never so shy as now, for now
she even dreaded meeting friends.
Was there nothing she could do to
overcome shyness?
What causes you to be shy? The
answer is this: Self-consciousness.
Shy people are completely possessed
by their own feelings, and when they
are with strangers they suffer from
what amounts to mental paralysis.
But if you're shy now, take heart.
You don't need to be. There is
simple psychological trick that will
enable you to overcome your shy
ness, not a week, a month, a year
from now, but Immediately.
An eminent New York psycholo-
gist, DR.. w. M. Marston, has used
it effectively on number of shy
people, so you see it has substan-
tial psychological background. What
it does is break the emotional bar
rier that keeps the shy person
tongue-tied.
The trick is this: whenever
you feel self-cOnsciOus, say the
first thing that comes to your
mind, no matter how trivial it
may be. Say it. Say it boldly.
One shy young girl, advised by
DR.. MarSton to do this, later met a
celebrated actor and blurted out:
"Oh, your tie is crooked. Here-let
me fix it for you."
That broke the ice. The actor was
charmed by the girls ingenious per-
sonality. That one experience for
ever cured the girl of her shyness.
People who were once shy and
use this method for overcoming it,
get the reputation for having origi-
nal and charming personalities.
In society they become favorites.
They build their personalities on a
handicap that previously held them
down-and when you build that way
you build solidly. Try it.

chest. She said: ''Set down. Bill,

"And tell you all about it, I sup

He shifted deeply of apples and
cinnamon and pitch pine fire.
"Bakin' a apple pie? I like 'em. Re-
member?"
u remember" She smiled plac-
idly, but her heart struck a quicker,
harder beat. 1--WE thought Of you
often, Bill"
yeah. I've thought of you" His
sullen mouth twisted wryly. His
cold eyes glittered. "Stared at iron
bars. and thought of you. Et rotten
grub, and thought of you. You've
smelled wild plum blossoms in the
canyon; ever smell buckets and dis
infectant? Stars come up peaceful
behind the mountain; ever watch
the lights 60 on through a cell
door?"
His rising, enraged voice dropped
to grating bitterness. II was twen-
ty-five then. Thirty-five now. Yeah.
I've thought lot about you"
MA PETERS plump hands trem-
1NI bled. Maybe if they were busy,
they wouldn't shake. She hitched the
chair half around. The table sup
ported her arms. She welded the
parer steadily. Golden green peel
traced curlicues under her fingers.
"You was maxim apple pie that
day." he recalled.
I've made them for mere years
than you've lived, Bill" she an
swered gently.
"Years!" He snarled, as if only
he could talk of years. His cold eyes
fastened on her throat, and he had
to tear them away. yeah, you was
peelin' apples, and alookin' out this
door. You seen somebody hold up
the Skull Ranch payroll. Then when
I dropped in later, you pulled the
black handkerchief from my hip
pocket"

color for a young fellow"
You seen the eye-holes in it, and
made out like you didn't. You fed
me, pie And then told the sheriff"
II should have let it go, because

''They wouldn't have caught me,
if it hadn't been for YOU"
"Well?" she asked, with spirit.
Well" he grinned, ''here you
are. all by yourself on lonely
mountain. Grocery boy comes once
a week. Nobody else comes regu-
lar"
