A reader writes Greater JOY
hath no woman than the one who
goes shopping and asks for a size
16 instead of a size 20 or larger"
An honest woman wrote that!
Too often women kid themselves
that they do not really care about
how they look. There are some
few exceptions, I guess; women
who are so on fire with life that
they actually forget how they look.
More often the opposite is true.
When there is letdown in eager
ness for living, when boredom
spreads it's dull color over every
day outlook, physical deteriora-
ton usually sets in.
One of the first steps psychol-
ogists use in trying to rehabilitate
cases of deep melancholia or de-
preston is the attempt to interest
the patient in her personal ap-
pearance. Once there is evidence
that she has become interested.
she is usually on the road to
recovery.
Today, shall we girls take our
hair down and tell the truth to
ourselves or discover the truth for
Yourselves? How much has your
personality and the things you
have done been affected by the
way you look? Has overweight. a
feeling of looking unattractive. a
big stomach, rolls over the girdle,
superfluous hair. bowlegs, a dow
ayers hump, lines in the face, a
double chin, or any other physical
defect subtlely influenced you?
Has any of these made you self
conscious and therefore changed
your natural personality?
1t would be impossible to esti-
mate the repercussions of physical
appearance! Usually women who
are not going to do anything about
it will not admit that this is true.
Perhaps they do not realize how
great the impact has been and in
how many ways they have been
sabotaged.
Looking the best you can and
verve go hand in hand. If you
feel that you are not important
to any one, that you do not
amount to anything" you are
likely to let your appearance be-

come much less attractive than it
could be. If you know you look
awful you feel that you cannot be
very attractive to any one person
or to the world in general. There
fore you penalize your potentiality
for vibrant living.
We women should recognize the
Importance of this fact and then
take a middle road" attitude
You are going to look older, no
matter what you do, if you live
long enough. The woman who
bewails the first gray hair. who
estimates the values in life only
in physical appearance, is a pitiful
individual and is missing adven-
turous living.
But there is no use looking
older than you have to. If you
do not like gray hair you can
have it dyed. and daily fabrication
of the skin will delay signs of
aging. Good nutrition is rapidly
turning into modern fountain
Of youth. You can exercise the
bulges away. You can lose weight
sanely and boast health.
This is not a vain philosophy;
live and die with your rouge on,
your hair attractively arranged
and your nails manicured. These
are outward signs of inner en-
thusiasm and courage and love of
life! Cyrano de Bergerac died
with his boots on. Let us die with
our rouge on. and minus bulges!

SERVICES TO HONOR DROWNED PASTOR

KETCHIKAN, (P) - Services will be held at the Presbyterian Church here next Sunday night for the Rev. Verne J. Swanson, 53, of Craig. He drowned when his fish packer Vermay swamped off Cape Muzon last Friday.
 Swanson's wife, the former Mayreid Ramquist of Vashon, Wash, arrived by plane from Seattle yesterday. She said she would take the body south on the steamer Aleutian Monday, for burial in Seattle.
 Meanwhile the coast guard said search had been abandoned for the body of a second man lost on the Vernay, known only as "Ar- nold." He was washed overheard from the sinking vessel.
 The Vermay later was washed ashore near Cape Muzon, her bot tom pounded out. The 58-foot craft is considered total loss.

FAIRBANKS, (P- U. S. Air force flyers have proved to the satisfaction of military umpires that Alaska has no open door pol icy for any enemy who might be tempted to attack the northern Territory. '
 The fliers intercepted an aggres- sor aerial armada yesterday in the newest training maneuver known as Dutch Door and theoretically forced 32 of the attacking planes to land and surrender.
 No shots were fired in the prac- tice games, but Brig. Gen. David H. Baker, commanding general at Ladd, said every maneuver known to modern aerial combat was used in forcing the aircraft to land.
 A half hour dogfight preceded the successful defense of the field in the early morning hour sky battle. The whole things is part of a test of defenses at Ladd and E:elson Air Force Bases in broad scale war games.
 Theoretically, the attac k n g force has landed at a number of points in Alaska and is now en- gagged in attempting to knock out Alaskan defenses.
 The umpires will add it up when it is all over and decide who won.

Reason Why Negroes
Rush To Use
Facilities Once
Barred To Them

WASHINGTON - CAMP -
An interesting observation was
made here recently by a local Ne
gro newspaper writer, on the
S ub ect of why Ne
groes do not rush to use facilities
when they become available on a
non-segregated basis.
The observation was contained
in a letter written by E. B. Hen
derson to the Washington Star,
daily White paper. 1t referred to
the problems incident to the Car
dozo interracial recreational ex-
pertinent" Of the D. c. Recrea-
ton department.
Henderson wrote:
In explaining the lack OF
attendance by colored participants,
one factor was not mentioned ex-
cept by inference interracial
recreation must be a matter OF
evolution and adjustment.
Because of 800 years of bon
dage, segregation and social iso-
lation, it will take time for many
Negroes to overcome feelings OF
inferiority so as to feel natural in
association with those whom many
have thought of as enemies.
"As :. predicted, when the
theatres were opened to all lovers
of the legitimate theatre, there
was no rush of Negro patrons.
Some of the recreational oppor-
tunities likewise will have
limited appeal until more skills
and appreciations have been de-
veloped for more people hitherto
denied them.

In a foreword to the survey, Mr..
Miller and Prof. Hill declared
that while the South bars the way
to the current extension Of civil
rights laws, it was the cradle of
the Bill, of Rights which assure
safety and security, freedom from
fear and equal protection under
the law for every citizen of the
United States. The survey sought
to focus on these aspects of civil
rights to which the South agrees
and to ascertain the actual status
of Negroes in the South with re-
spect to these rights by question:
ing 1000 Negro students at the
Atlanta University summer school.
The group represented geo.
graphical crosS-section of the
South. Seventy per cent of those
questioned had attained profess
Sional status while 80 per cent
were students on the college level.
In their survey, Mr.. Miller and
Mr.. Hill found:
!. Negroes rarely expect to get
equal treatment from White po-
licemen. Three out Of four be.
lieve that in Negro White disputes
the police are prejudiced in favor
of Whites.
2. Where Negroes have been
appointed to the police force, ~
per cent of those questioned re-
ported definite improvement in
police standards.
3. The courts were rated higher
than the police force. Six per cent
felt that there was a better than
average chance of being treated
justly in Negro-White disputes,
but go per cent thought their
chances of getting equal justice
would be poor or very poor.
4. The growing public disrepute
in which the Ku Klux Klan is be-
ing held has reduced fear of the
Khan among Negroes. Sixty-seven
per cent declared that Negroes in
their area no longer fear ple
Khan.
S. Four out of five of those
questioned declared they are reg
istered voters. The percentage of
those registered in rural areas was
SO per cent; in small towns 70
per cent; in cities "a per cent.
Some % per cent reported that
Negroes were inundated to keep
them from voting in their COM
munities; 20% reported pressures
to have Negroes vote for specific
candidates; 800 rated registra-
ton officials from neutral to
friendly.
6. The survey revealed a direct
correlation between Negroes vot-
ing in appreciate numbers and
improved treatment of Negroes
by the police and in the court.
7. The most important factor,
however, in attaining a feeling of
safety and security appears to be
the degree of accommodation which
Negroes make to the segregation
pattern. More than one-third
testified to personal feelings Of in
security resulting in distrust and
fear of most white persons. Over
80 per cent described the situation
in their areas as above average;
A per cent below average; while
Is per cent declared that race re-
lations in their communities had
deteriorated to a dangerous level.

Dear Major" a letter asks, is
it possible for you to publish in
the paper each Monday the serial
numbers which will receive divi-
dends for that week."
No. The VA is keeping that in
formation quiet. However, you
know there are about 100000
veterans in the first pay group
and that checks are going out at
more than a 100000 week rate,
starting last Jan. Is. That can
give you some idea of when you
might get paid.
Trouble is. you might be in the
second pay group. There's no way
to find out. Or you might be one
of the 100000 whose dividend
payments have to be hand
proceSsed, in which case you
couldn't even estimate when your
cheek will arrive.
From F. j. R., Oakland Calf.
THE Board for Correction of
Naval Records is about to review
my bad conduct discharge. I
think I can barely scrape up the
money tc get to Washington when
my case comes up and want
advice from you as to whether ]
should come or whether my pres
ence would make no difference.
If you've prepared your case
carefully and included all the evil
dence supporting your appeal, you
do not need to come before the
board and you do not need to be
represented by some one else, says
the Navy.
From D. w. S., Oklahoma City:
els it true that under the loan
provisions of the CT Bill a veteran
cannot be charged more for a
home than its value as appraised
by the VA?"
If the money used to pay for
the home comes from a CT Bill
loan, the seller may not charge
more than the VAS appraised
value. That's true. But there's
nothing to prevent a seller ask
ing whatever he likes of a veteran
buying house with his own
money or with money NOT bor-
rowed under the terms of the GI
Bill.
From Mrs. M. S. c., South
Bend, Ind: my son took out his
service insurance in June, 1910
and has been told that he is not
entitled to the current dividend
because he is holding World
War I insurance instead Of Ma
tional Service Life insurance. Is
that right?"
Yes, it's right. The NSLI Act
was approved Oct. 8, 1910. and
any earlier purchase of service
insurance was undoubtedly made
under the World War I insurance
plan. Naturally the holder of q
World War I insurance policy
cannot share in the NSLI divi-
dend.
From G. H., New York, N. Y:
Il am a disabled veteran who lost
