By Cab Galloway

Funny how when fellow gets to thinking he gets off onto
the subject of women easily This time got thinking about
how different women situations Take the
motorcycle cop stopping dver-they all react diff

There's one type who will try to make eyes the cop to
get out of the ticket She'll talk baby talk roll her eyes,
demue act sorry In fact she'll do everything over and
play dead She's natural born actress and she's probably
putting the act her Dad found her putting
spoon honey into his shoes at the ripe old of three and half
Then there's another type who'll sink deep the up
holstey and look guilty if she the masemind
had engineered the Brink robbery She's probably
anything wrong besides stealing apples Farmer Green's
orchard but she has guilt complex that makes her crnge
from the badge a Junior Oman.
The type commonly referred the Clubwoman will
emphatcay deny that she cruising miles per
hour though she had the old bus peng along so
20 mile don't think she's necessarily clubwoman
I've known awully easygong cubwomen my day. but
you know the type.
She'll comb through her purse until she up with
letter from the commencing her for her fine work the
fat salvage drive of 1916 She'll inform the officer
of all her close friends the city council and she'll
innate that he knows what's good for him and his job he'll
get his foot off the running board and get going instead
bothering innocent motorists.
There's oshoot of types and two who has touch of
the guilt complex and who has certain way with throws
both of her personality into job of getting rid of the
cop. The plea is usually ignorance

NO good School board would for white
children The goodness of school board toward Negro children
measured by its willingness sponsor for them the sort
OF program that it sponsors for Caucasin children.
And incidentally don't board be good to Ne

And what should we do with the present Dunbar building
not with Dunbar but with the building? Obviously it should
become Negro junior high school, Board?
The present location of Dunbar is fine for junior high is
centrally located stands in the midst of Negro community and
is large enough support junior high school program The
senior high boy is old enough to go further
Should the Gibbs building be for junior high school?
God forbids What school board member conscientious
member would sponsor the Gibbs WHITE Junior
high school if emodeed can't hold 500 elementary
pupils why put thousand junior highs there The building
already older than school building supposed be- why
proong its life for NEGRO hdrn when it would not be pro-

And what would the Dunbar campus look like with the

We want to keep the siteyes But for junior high school

Now is the time for proper program for Negro

is done will be fastened for than three generations
If the school board does indeed recognize responsibility
the community will look at the Negro population at the

Then with the true humanity and splendid vision
who really recognize their responsibility the community the

board member who recognizes his responsibility the commun

Are Members Of School Board
Conscientious?-
BY S. S. Taylor, Associate Editor

The responsibility of school board to its community was
thought in statement written recently by our own Super

is comforting fact that this responsibility beginning
to be recognized and right here at home.
Many people state that the board of directors one
of the conscientious have had for time They
that the board needs only guidance in the of expressions
from right-minded people.
We feel that who conscientious will not need to be
offered guidance but will seek it, conscientious will do
nothing which restricts and Injuries others conscientious man

cannot imagine board of directors which would place
high school for white children limited like that of Dun
bar and then take up the play space of white elementary
proposed to do with the gymnasium to be added to Dunbar
Now this does not that opposed to Dunbar
Neither does that opposed to giving gymnasium
Dunbar Neither does it that opposed to
site and building for Gibbs
Here is exactly does At present IL does not
possible that space for SENIOR HIGH physical educa-

cation of Dunbar Therefore every senior high facility which is
built the present site does nothing but asten forever the
Negroes high location which does not permit senior
high program No board member would sanction such
for white children and If board members conscientious
they will sponsor such program for Negroes.
The remedy for this situation is location for the
senior high school, location large enough to support full
