Lost
Boundaries

A special showing of the movie
"Lost Boundaries" was held this
morning at the Loew's theatre. At
tendance at the premier was by
invitation only. 1t will open to the
public next week. It is the second
picture in a month with a 'racial"
theme. The other was "Home of the
Brave"
Produced by Louis deRochemont
Boundaries" is a picture based
on a real life experience of "pass-
ing" of a NEGRO" family. There
has incidentally been a good deal
of ill-will created by the attitude
of the producer and the family
about whom the picture was made.
The johnson family headed by
DR.. Johnson lives in Keene, New
Hampshire today. DR.. Johnson and
his wife moved there shortly after
their marriage. Both are light and
consequently were accepted as
white. Three children, two boys
and a girl, were raised without
knowing their racial identity"
Few people knew when ". l..
White wrote a story about it in
the Readers Digest. The story
was widely circulated, and this
picture resulted. t

Buckner, former piano player in
the Lionel Hampton band, and his
band and Butterbeans and Susie,
to name but a few. AS usual Lar
ry Steele will feature a chorus of

What Progress Can Be
Made Thru Candidates
n Nov. s Election

Before the November election
November 81 the Daily EXPRESS
hopes to learn and pass on to it's
readers, the position of city COM
mission candidates on issues which
concern the Negro people in Day
ton. Questionnaires will be sent out
to candidates to determine their
stand on burning questions of the
day.
About the only candidate fam
iliar at all to west siders is Sam
Sawaya. The reason he is known
here is that he owns two grocery
stores operating or the west side.
One is located on Germantown
street, the other on Fifth street.
For the very reason that Sawya's
livelihood depends, to some ex-
tent, at least, on the patronage of
Negroes, he will probably be en-
dorsed by most Negro groups. He
is in fact the only city commission

candidate who has distributed
posters in this area.
AS has been pointed out, this
campaign will perhaps be the
~quietest in many years. With no
Negro and no labor candidate in
the filed the race becomes a mat
ter of which ones among a homo
geneous group will be elected.
They all will be to polite to Eek
pose" the "idrt" and "shady deal
ings" orthe ''broken promises" Of
past election campaigns. The west
side will be strangely quiet for the
first time in many a campaign.
There will just not be that en-
thusiasm which would exude ! if
there were a Negro candidate.
However, there should be that
concerted effort we have written
about to force the candidates into
the position of showing their
hand, so to speak. One of the best
ways to impress candidates is to
appear at political rallies and give
a vivid display of the voting
strength and interest in voting of
the Negro population of Dayton.
This is advice which the shrewdist
politician would give.

Rights Bill of the state Of Ohio.

I uke Nv Word for 1t

A few weeks ago I stated that in
the country as whole the prevail
ing pronunciation for the word err
is chr, as in error, and that erring
is almost always pronounced ei1r-ing.
I also reported that chr for err has
not yet been recognized by the die
tionaries, but that ehr-ing for erring
is sanctioned by many dictionaries.
Three or four readers have told
me that they are shocked at my
attempt to debauch 'the Kings
English; that, "the dictionary" is
the only authority for correct pro-
nunciation, and that I had better
stick to "the dictionary" if I know
what's good for me.
Well, now, to get few things
straight, "the Kings English"
(whatever that Isl is not American
English and never has been. Amer
ican usage is not based on nor in

Secondly, dictionaries do not es-

they report erroneously.

usages that prevail among Ameri-
cans Of good education.
Now let's see about the word err.
1t comes from the French verb error
(pronounced: ehr-AY), from the
Latin errare pronounced: ehr-AH-
.reh), the same word that gives us
erratic, erratum, erroneous, error,
none, of which have "urr" in the first
syllable.
Note that the pronunciation chr
ing for erring is given complete
sanction by Webster's New Interna-
tional, Funk and Wagnaus, the New
Century, Webster's New Collegiate,
the American College Dictionary,
Kenyon and Knots Pronouncing
Dictionary, and WORDS: The New
Dictionary. ~...
Il cite these dictionaries, not to
prove that ehr-ing is a correct pro-
nounciation, but to show that they
are reporting correctly.
To conclude, If ehr-ing for erring
is correct pronunciation (which
it Isl, how Can any one. including
the dictionaries, hold that chr for
err is incorrect or debased? The
millions of persons who say chr
ing for erring will surely say chr for

Mud Hens.

In the Puget Sound region burrow-
ing clans are called mud hens"
The name is due to the plump
chicken-like breast. The clans are
elusive enough to make their cap
ture exciting, and the flavor Of their
flesh, cross between crab and
spring lamb, a delicious morsel.
Three mud hens make enough
chowder for six.
This burrowing clam is a discreet
and smaller cousin of the famous
giant geoduck pronounced jeoduk).
The clam hunter rises at dawn
to be sure of his tasty chowder for
dinner. The eight-inch shells are
not wide enough to cover the bulg-
ing breast. Unlike other shell ami
mails the mud hen is unable to lock
her doors. Wisely she hides deep in
the ooze, pushing her long, dark,
rubbery neck above the surface. In
coming tides, bringing minute or
ganisms, satisfy her hunger. She
is sedenary in her habits and puts
on weight. Her bulging breast is
the meat man is after.
This clam has neither sight, hear
ing or sense of smell, yet it is never
caught mapping. The vibration Of
your footsteps is sufficient notif1ca-
ton. The three-foot siphon is i'm
mediately pulled down to three
inches.
Clam hunters cruise about in quiet
waters until they discover several
rubbery necks waving about in the
shallow water or mud: The boat is
made fast, spade and bucket picked
up. The hunt is ON!
Expert clam diggers note the
place where the siphon was, push
the spade deep and throw the con-
tents aside. Often the clam Is thus
captured. If not, one reaches down
into the water-hlled excavation,
loosens the clam from its moorings
and draws it forth mprotesting as
1t is dropped into the bucket.

Goren on Bridqe
An Ingenious Swindle.

Lying is a gentle art in the exer-
else of which certain fundamental
principles must be observed. One is
to avoid the telling of useless lies.
Another is to tell only those that
have reasonable chance to be &C
cepted as the truth.
Promiscuous false-carding at the
bridge table often defeats its own
purpose. Particularly is this apt to
be true on the defense where you
have partner whose cooperation
you may require in defeating the
contract, and who might be de-
ceived more than the declarer. How
ever, occasionally a situation will
develop in which you know that
your partner will have little If any
thing to do with the defense and
consequently there is no harm in
deceiving him, whereas some dust
might effectively be thrown into
declarer's eyes.
A most ingenious swindle was per-
petrated by the West of today's
hand. It required a bit of quick
thinking that always gains the
plaudits of this department. Our
sympathies go out to declarer, who
was an innocent victim OF his ad-
versary's well-laid plot.
South became declarer at con-
tract of three no-trump on bidding
that was normal in all respects.
West led the six of diamonds, which
was taken with the ace in dummy.
With seven top-card tricks, the best
chance for the two others appeared
to be development of the spade suit.
A low spade was led to the ace.
West could see that the suit was
going to produce four tricks for the
declarer. He therefore, Immediately
dropped the king under the ace.
This play did not sacrifice a trick,
since West still had the suit stopped.
Who could blame the declarer for
abandoning spades in favor of the
club finesse? Even if the f1nesse
failed there was still the chance
that clubs might break, so that the
18th club would produce trick No. 8.
When the club finesse failed, the
diamond suit was cleared and South
was now helpless, since there was
no way to develop the ninth trick
without letting West in with a
spade. .,
