Paris SHINING Skirts For Late Summer

New York-(CNS)-- Paris, the
nerve center of the fashion in
dustry, has begun to slim down
the long skirts and copycat New
York, along with the rest of the
country, will soon take cue.
Having reached the saturation
point on the full, billowy skirts
with tremendous yardage (some
skirts have been made up with
fourteen yards. Paris designers
are a little sick of their crea-
ton. They've started now to work
in reverse by pairing down the
exaggerated skirt to reasonable
flowingness. Moreover, they're
highlighting the pencil slim ones
for the bridge between seasons

will be quickly picked up by
women who aim to be the first
with a new trend.
With the severe skirt, designers

tory TO any nation, This opportun-
ity comes while many of us are
confused and unprepared,
Only three years ago we ended
the greatest war in history We
looked for peace to follow imme-
diately. We are reluctant to adj
NIT that victory and peace are
not synonymous but they are not.
We are still facing new world
crisis, Even though we quit our
selves as first-class citizens, we
are still faced with the restrictive
covenant as well as job discrimi-
nation which causes us to have
to seek dwellings in Stun districts
which breed crime and disease
only to spread over our communi-
ty and our nation.
This War-torn world of ours
must be rebuilt, The problem Of
atomic energy instantly demands
solution. In the main, our diff
ficulty arises from unwillingness
to face a reality. Just a glance at
the headlines of our daily papers
causes one to know that Russia
must be reckoned with. But,
rooming over all is our own ever
present society, our own lost per-
spective, our internal strife, our
inability to accept facts. Yes. the
big job is our immediate confine.
1t is folly to attempt to remove
the mote from our brothers eye
when there is beam in our own.
The practice of racial inequality
sends a sharp wedge straight
through the heart Of American
character; thus leaving us linger-
ing like on suffering with the
dreadful disease, tuberculosis.
Perhaps you are wondering what
part can you and play in this
fight to make democracy a real
ity. We can love our neighbor, for
love is the fulfiliment Of the law.
l do not refer to loving any spe-
cial race. Skin color and hair
texture should not determine our
respect for humanity.
AS college students here are a
few simple points l think would
help us on to success:
Dare to speak when you
have something to say.
2-Speak the truth without
mixture.
3-Be silent when you have
nothing to say
4-When driving do not forget
the right of others.
5-Refrain from chewing gum
in public places.
6-Curb loud talking on buses

:: SEWING HINTS :
BY Mary Ann Knowit

All right mother, so you have
three or four children and your
husband is the only one working.
Are you going through life wor-
rying about making ends meet, or
do you spend a lot of time pity
ing yourself and thinking of how
easy life was before you were
married. Neither of these will
help To despite the fact that the
cost of living is abnormally high,
there are numerous methods that
every thrifty housewife or mother
can use in combating this problem
which is universal
After an average family pays
their rent, a few necessary bills,
and buys food it takes a very eco
nomical woman to get the neces-
sary things that every home and
family needs. A woman who GRO
chefs has an advantage over one
that does not. Why? Because
socks, gloves, sweaters, pocket
books, dresses, baby clothes, etc,
cost her less than two-thirds of
the price that other women pay in
their department stores.
In addition to croeheting for
your family, you can crochet

In contrast, this small group Of railroec
union leaders are attempting to hout the
intent and spirit of the Railway Labor Act,
and dictate their own terms.
They have dictated paralyzing railroad
strike.
You will be the victim!
How long will the American public stand
for the undemOcratic. arbitrary, and abusive
use of the right to strike and the disregard
of the obligation to provide transportation?
How long can the American people permit
a few dictatorial union leaders to defy the
processes provided for peaceful settlement
of disputes?
Force seldom produces settlements that are
either fair or lasting. Moreover, point is
often reached when personal interests must
be held subordinate to the greater public
welfare. That is why the railroads have ac-
cepted the Emergency Board recommended
tions. That is also why the leaders of these
three unions should reconsider their decision
to call paralyzing strike.

TEE LEADERS of three railroad unions, rep
Resemting less than One-tenth OF all railroad
emapIoyees have called railroad strike that
would paralyze the nation.
These leaders refuse to accept 1512 cents
an hour wage increase retroactive to Novem-
her 1, 1947. This increase was recommended
by an impartial Emergency Board appointed
By President Truman.
This increase of 1914 cents already has been
accepted by the 10 other railroad unions. But
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and
EnQinenen, and the Switchmens Union Of
North America won't accept what more than
9O9s Of all railroad employees have accepted.
They have called strike to get more!
Unions refuse rules discussion
Certain rules changes demanded by these
union leaders-which would increase wages
still further $3.50 were recommended by the
Board. But the union leaders want more
they demand that the railroads put into effect
ALL the changes they asked for, including
those the Board felt should be denied.
On top of this, they insist that certain rules
changes proposed by the railroads be with,
drawn-in spite of the fact that the Board
recommended them! These union leaders
have refused to negotiate except upon these
arbitrary terms.
Greater wage increase not justified
Rnpineers and fremen are among the high
eat Maid of all employees in America as figures
in the box show. This strike threat doesn't
Justify giving a greater increase than other
railroad workers received.
Emergency Boards are means provided

Although they deplored so large an extra cost

Unfortunately. however. the
form Of life which the people of

century is not determined by
their choice. but by the distri-
button of power - to put it brut-
ally vet truthfully: Military pow

more for communism than their
western government, though
they are no more for COM
cunism than their Western
compatriots. They have it be-
cause there the Communist

is protected by military force in

Without military protection
people must move into the Com

saints the primary human urge
is survival. In a Communist
state or a stae covered by Com
munist military force, the only
way to survive is to become a
Communist - if allowed - and
a docile and obedient servant of
communism. in any case.
We're we to withdraw our mill
