were indicted into the Dayton fire
department. This completes the
total of 40 additional firemen
promised for the department as a

To gain the new recruits a city
civil service examination was held
recently. Sixty-eight persons ap-
piled to take the exam, So actually
took it and 35 passed the written
exam.
Those who passed the written
exam we're thoroughly investiga-
ted by the police and fire de-
partment as to their character,
and they were given a physical
examination by the health depart
ment. After all the test, 81 finally
appointed to the department. The
new firemen will all receive two
weeks basic training before being
assigned to fire houses. Then the
training will continue on the job.
Starting pay is $252.5O per month.

Surprised Negroes wishing to shop

Gently discovered the existence of
bias as a store policy.
Rumors had been circulating
recently on this viewpoint, but
positive evidence was gained last
week when the committee Of Ra-
cial Equality investigated. Negro
members we're told they need not
enter unless they had charge ac-
counts, but whites entered with
out anything being said.
If a colored person wished to
start a charge account who would
be sent upstairs to sign all the pa
pers. One woman has been wait
ing six months for action, how
ever, from the store.
This apparent discrimination is
not we'll known in Chicago be-
cause this store is one of the city's
most publicized stores featuring
better quality women's clothing.
On the air for years it has fea-
tured an amateur hour program
which featured both Negro and
white talented youth.

U.S.. MANNERS: GOOD and BAD
EURoPEAN

Dear NIX. Mauxois: As European
who has spent many years i'm
America. what do you think are
the most attractive aspects of
American manners? And the
least?
MIR. MAUROIS: First, here are
some characteristics find attractive:
j. The spontaneous kindness shown
by Americans to strangers, the pains
they take to help anyone who seems
IN trouble. In Europe, officials are
too often potential enemies; in Amer
ica. they are all potential friends.
2. The absence of class-conscious-
ness here. The way in which a cab
driver treats one as a lifetime friend
is refreshing and enjoyable.
3. The straightforward and unassum-
ing manner in which an American
takes compliment In Europe, peo-
pie you praise pretend to be surprised
or attempt to belittle their achieve
ments. An American just says:
Thank you" 1t is graceful and nice.
AND here are some customs which
seem to me unattractive:
j. The way in which the doctor of
the Health Service assemblies travellers
arriving in the United States and calls
for: American passports first" No
other country does this.
z. Invitations to people to come at
seven O'Clock when the host knoVs
dinner will not begin before eight.
