George r. Hammond, safety and

trict division, credited the 215-day
stretch since June Is, 1948, without
street or highway death largely
to cooperation between Arlington
police and the school Safety Patrol.

HOW no BE HAPPY

Everyone is trying with all OF
his might to be happy; yet no
one seems to be certain what it
is, where it is found, and how.
Good food does not bring It,
lovely clothes nor amusements.
Mr. does much money nor beauty
Each Of these things offer a
certain passing pleasure, but 1t
is momentary nothing abiding,
nothing permanent, just a fleet
ing sense Of power-importance;
we slip back to apathy, boredom.
At long last we find that, Com
forts and luxury will not bring
happiness, all that we need to
make us really happy is SOME
THING no BE ENTHUSIASTIC
ABOUT"

portunity should be given all
races, under the Bill Of Civil
Rights.

certs there, it was learned.

John Lesinski. Of the Committee
OF Education and Labor.
The investigation in Panama
and the Canal Zone is directed
at making new adjustments in
the gold and silver monetary
system. For many years whites
have been paid salary in gold
coin, while blacks are paid in
silver, and a wide difference is
practiced in wages on account
of racial discrimination and COLI

Mr.. Paine, with several profess

tain that she is quite all right
when she sallies forth to con-
quer. So often beauty falls short
or is entirely spoiled by just
some shortcoming a slipping
skirt, an unattractive neck eff
feet. Such a mirror can be pur-
chased for a few cents over one
dollar, yet it is beyond price to
the beautiful, well-dressed won1-
