FEMALES TOO EXPENSIVE

Boston - President Lynn T. White certainly started an end less round of reflection and dis cussion with his Boston speech the other day when he em- phasized the fact that women these days expect a great deal for what they. are willing to give. MT. White was address ing the Association of Ameri- can Colleges. His major thesis was that women are losing their bargaining power with men.
 In substantiation of his point of view President White gave the following reasons:
 l. Women are getting too ex- pensive.
 2. They are being deluded by the romantic craze into un- stable marriages.
 3. They live too long.
 On the farms in the old days he explained, a man needed a woman economically, as much as woman needed a man. But now it is different.
 "A man continues to support his wife and children he said, 'tbut the wife has ceased to SUD- port her husband as she form erly did.
 "There are even many women among us so naive about the long run workings of a man s mind that they think that they can be supported permanently without even giving a man chil- dren."
 Another force guiding the position of women in modern life is their longevity, according to White.
 Now there exists a surplus of women, White said, and it's size will increase, thereby mini mixing the bargaining power of women individually and affect ing their status as a group.

NATIONAL BAHA'I CELEBRATION

Wilmette, Ill.-The twenty fifth anniversary of the open ing of the will and testament of Abdul-Baha, son of the founder of the Baha'i religious faith, was observed last week by mem bers of the religion throughout America, the National Baha i Assembly announced.
 In celebrating the anniver- sary the American Baha is also paying special tribute to Shoghi Effendi, who was ap- pointed in Abdul-Baha s will to be the Guardian of the Faith, interpreter of the Baha'i teach ings and presiding officer of the international Baha'i body when it will be elected as soon as world conditions permit by the National Assemblies formed in America, Europe, Africa and the East.
 The contents of the will and testament of Abdul-Baha, who died in November 1921, were made known in Haifa, Palestine. According to the National Ba- ha'i Assembly, they disclosed the pattern of world society.
 Under the leadership of Shog- hi Effendi, the Baha'i World Faith has been extended to forty-six countries in which it had no members at the time of Abdul-Baha's death. He also gave the impetus to complete the Baha'i House of Worship at Wilimette, American head quarters of the Faith, when in 1925 he concentrated the efforts of American Baha lis on finish ing the project. ..-
 Declaring that "a world so- ciety does not originate ill DO litical or economic action but in a new and fresh expression of faith, the National Assem- bly, said the essential aim of the Baha'i faith is not to de- velop a new sect or add to the existing denominations, but rather to create moral and so- cial basis true to the pure spirit of all revealed religions and broad enough to unify all races, nations and creeds in one spirit ual community.
 "No previous religion has ever developed after the death of it's founder in accordance with specific principles and di- rections such as the Baha'is pos sess in the written authentic testament of Abdul-Baha, " the Assembly pointed out.

ITALY STILL
 WANTS ETHIOPIA

New York - Despite the fact that Ethiopia was basic in the downfall of Italy in the past war and a contributing factor in the outbreak of the second World Warr, some Italian sources are still trying to es- tablish their claim to large sec tions of the country. They want Eritrea and Somaliland. But Getahoun Tesemma, secretary of the Imperial Ethiopian Elm bassy, is watching these over lures carefully and recently is ued the following blast against such an unfair claim.
 Italy claims that she cannot meet reparation claims at the same time she seeks return of the colonies which have always been a drain upon her resources, and from which twice in less than 50 years she launched her criminal aggressions against Ethiopia.
 Italy cannot put forward any other justification, wheth- CT open or disguised, for her rule in those colonies except recent aggression. On the other hand, the relation of those two colonies to Ethiopia is altogether different. Since time immemo- rial, these two colonies have been a part of the Ethiopian Empire. There exists histori- cal, racial, cultural, economic and geographic ties winch bind them to Ethiopia. Philippians and Eritreans as one and the same people have fought side by side for the liberation of their country. Ethiopia pro- vides for their education and receives them into her govern ment because they are Ethio- plans.
 Ethiopia has a moral and legal right to these two colonies. They must be restored to Ethio- pia in order to accord the will of the people, to right great wrong and avoid perpetuation of evils against which the war was fought

OPEN SHOP THREAT TO NEGRO
Washington, D. c. - Efforts

Dy OeudLOr cOScpH II. DdII Go give the impression that pass age of anti-closed shop legisla- tion would be beneficial to minorities were challenged to- day by the Labor Department of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
 In letter to Senator Ball, Clarence Mitchell, the Associa- tion s Labor Secretary, stated that:
 "The Washington Post this morning quotes you as as con- tending that the backing (Sen- ator) Morse gave FEPC legis- lation would make 1t hard for him to refute arguments by Southern Democrats that the closed shop is discriminatory. I earnestly hope that this quo- tation does not reflect your views with respect to the enact ment of FEPC legislation. It would be a terrible blow to minorities if, in your efforts to attack the closed shop, you at tempt to give the impression that this will be a benefit to minority group workers seek ing employment.
 "When I was a member of the staff of the FEPC, 1t was my duty to scrutinize and in vestigate the major cases be- fore our agency involving dis criminatory practices which prevented employment of col ored persons in companies with the closed shop contracts. At no time did any one on the staff or on the Committee indicate that the elimination of the closed shop provision would en- sure employment of minority groups. On the contrary, at all times it was our desire to have colored workers share in the benefits of the closed shop agreements by having them ad- mitted to employment and full union membership.
 SAt this moment, 1 have on my desk a matter in which I sincerely believe that the sole protection of some 300 colored employees of a large plant is the fact that their bargaining representatives have negotiated successfully a union shop agree ment with the employer. Now that there are white workers available in the labor market, this employer gives evidence of seeking to displace the col ored employees in the better jobs with non-union individuals. If your bill to outlaw the closed shop became law, it will place every one of these per sons in jeopardy.
 "The arguments of Southern Senators that the closed shop is discriminatory will have no weight with minority groups, because legislators have ad- vanced every type of spacious argument to defeat measures 1 which would benefit wage earn

WALLACE PLANS
Continued from Page One)

The folks all around here
abouts have got themselves up
a program for Christmas. and
it's up-coming days, that would
make Scrooge do nip-ups 1Ven
before his heart melted.
First off, as a sort Of stage
setting, they've contrived a hV-
inc Christmas tree in Miss Bett
Wards yard and the tree itself
is one of the largest living
Christmas trees you'll find any
where. even including Whining
toms famed one. At the foot OF
this tree is manger scene,
showing Mary and the Child and
the Wise Men and a camel or
So Then there is pine-straW
strewn stage right at the foot
of the Christmas tree. When
they turn the floodlights on the
scene of nights, I'm Yelling you
I get that old feeling up and
down my spine.
But that's just the stage-set-
ting as l said. To make that
stage and that scene rise and
flow ino life the folks from nine
different communities here
abouts have organized special
carol-singing groups to come
here and lift their voices in such
lovelies as clark! The Herald
Angels!", 20. Little Town of
Bethlehem, and those other
iovful sounds of the Christmas
tide that will never grow old as
long as there's a Santa Claus,
and Mary and a Johnny and
a Jimmy and Susie-in fact,
as long as there's an anything.
These groups started coming
here last Thursday night. That
night the Charity Choir, under
the direction of Mrs. Dixon
Wood. and Wallace Singers, or
-ganized by Mrs. William H. Far
rior and directed by Miss Iris
Herring, sang.
The coming Tuesday night
singing groups from Long Creek,
Warsaw, Calypso, and Magnolia
will be here to sing. On the fol-
lowing Tuesday night-Dec. 16-
groups from Chinquapin, Frank
lin school, and Burgaw will sing
under the Christmas tree.
The big night will come Dec.
% when all these nine cholrs
will gather here. They will sing
as separate units and then
they'll all join voices and lift
their glorious chords to the
heavens together.
When you consider that the
Charity Choir has 48 voices,
men, women and children, and
the Wallace group has 40 you
can imagine how much Christ
mas singing there is going on.
For that final night with all nine
choirs here night there may
be as many as $50 in the COM
bined singing groups. And just
SO you, and anybody else who
to, can lift your voice in
praise and thanksgivi for the
brightest season of the year,
everybody around the tree will
be invited to join in the singing.
These programs start at 7:30
D. m.
Anybody who hates to miss
the very best of anything should
set down on his, or her, calendar
now the dates of these sings and
make it a point to be in Wallace.
Those dates are Dec. 9, Dec. 16,
and Dec. %.
AS sort of an added attract
ion-if an added attraction were
needed-n ext Friday night
there'H be a special program
under the tree on which Negro
gospel singers will sing spirit
uals as only spirituals can be
sung. On that program there'll
be dozens of numbers that
should make your heart - and
