Things That
Interest Women
By BESSIE F. BELL

How Do You Look? Recently SO
many of my dear friends have
asked me to write again of gray
hair. For future reference, | do
hope that you will file this article
or paste it in your scrap book I'M
der Care Of The HAIR" as many
of you will be receiving leaflets
from me on the care of your hair.
NOW ABOUT GRAY HAIR
There are many reasons why the
hair turns gray. How early in life
this takes place or vice versa, de-
ponds to a great extent on how the
individual manages his or her ply
steal makeup. "Time Changeth
All Things" We are all quite aware
that with the passing of the years,
it is usually expected that our hair
may lose a bit of it's original color
and lust. Yet, this fading, or gray
ing, comes to some of us a bit
earlier than to others. Then for
still others, this CRAVING of the
hair seems never, almost never, to
happen.
Gray Hair No Date Line.-There
are far too many of US who cling
to the belief that after a certain
age, man or woman is destined to
become gray, that this, and this
alone places one right in the lap
of Father Time. Not so my dears,
not a'tall. Look about you, note
how many people, especially fe-
male, as young as eighteen years
of age, who were gray. Now take
it the other way around. We meet
someone that is sixty years old and
they have almost no gray hair.
You ask why? The answer is the
same. Each individual has a diff
ferent physical makeup.
Premature Craving of the Hair
An illness or certain diseases can
contribute largely to grazing hair.
Therefore, you will surely want to
do everything that builds and
keeps a healthy and strong YOU.
Different forms of nervousness
and shock may hasten grazing of
the hair. Glandular changes, change
the color of the hair, low vitality.
Rest and Proper Diet are two
effective remedies for preventing
premature gray hair. See to it that
tranquility takes the spotlight in
this important play.
Ny leaflet on the care of the
hair, and grazing of the hair is
yours for Zoe. Address Bessie F..

THEATRICAL
DATA
JOSEPHINE
TALK OF THE TOWN"
By Floyd SnelsOn

New York City = (Global) -
certainly agree with Walter Win
chell, Josephine Bakers opulent
peak-a-boo gowns making audien-
ces gasp at the Warner Bros.
Broadway Strand Theatre. Quite a
performer Her skill and neon per-
sonality make everything show
manship shapley. She's a one-gal
show" Earl Wilson in the New
York Post says, "She's the great
est I've ever SEEN"
Bulletin
La Baker was stricken Sunday
with fatigue and throat irritation
after her first week and shows
Saturday and was unable to leave
her bed at the Park Sheraton
Hotel. Crowds lined up at the
Strand Box Office while nearly 81
900 customers already were in
side the Theatre. 1t was announced
from the Stage that Josephine
Baker was unable to appear-and
caused a near riot-They squaked
in unison, eve want 10 Baker"
and demanded return of the adj
mission.
Sarah Vaughn, appearing at an
other location, was rushed to the
scene to fill in, but unfortunate for
Miss Vaughan, the audience refus-
ed to be pacified and turned their
backs from her and walked out
Stampeeding the box office - $14
G's in cash had to be refunded
Frantic fans had terrible disap-
pointment.
At Press time Tuesday Miss
Baker was unable to return for the
engagement after miraculous medi-
cal treatment by Specialists from
the Presbyterian Medical Center
who worked feverishly upon the
"fine brown frame" of the Inter
national Star.
To Open Night Club
In addition to the disappoint-
ment of thousands of Sunday thea
ire fans at the Strand who come
here form zoos of nearby cities
and towns-La Baker was sche-
duled for the opening of the Monte
Prosser Cafe Theatre Former cite
of Bop City and the Zanzibar)
which also had to succumb to post
ponement.
Long Time Sensation
The charming and glorious Lot
cha gal Josie Baker has been a
sensation in 3 Continents-her pro-
vocative and exotic gyrations that
startled the Europeans, has really
caught on in her acknowledgements

When / met and greeted the
fabulous Josephine Baker off stage
at the Strand Theatre last week
she gave me the usual soulful arm

is she adorable. The last time I

people, was doing important work
in the fight to free Niece.
The Observation-Disclosures au-
thor who was recently awarded
the Nobel Prize for Literature in
Stockholm, Sweden, laid great
emphasis on the Importance of
white women from other states
reaching white women of Missis-
sippi.
MCGEE, father of four children
and ex CT, was scheduled to die
on March 20 for alleged rape.
A stay of execution was granted
by Supreme Court Justice Hugo
L. Black, to permit the full Su-
preme Court to decide whether it
will review McGee's new appeal.
The new plea is based on evil
dence proving MCGEE was know
ingly convicted by the State of
| Mississippi on perjured evidence.
| His attorneys also contend that
he is a victim of unequal justice.
In Mississippi, as in the recent
| Martinsville Seven case in Vir-
ginia, only Negroes are given the
death penalty for rape, proven OF
un-proven.
The Civil Rights Congress,
which has led five-year legal
and mass campaign to free MCGEE,
reported that Mr.. Faulkner's state
ment on behalf of Niece was the
latest in a series from eminent
figures throughout the country
| and the world.
Protests against McGee's death
sentence have come from Eng
land, France, Germany, Africa, as
well as from trade unions, MA
ACP chapters, churches, political
leaders and Negro and white cit
liens in all walks of life.
| Meanwhile, the fate of the con-
demned man appeared to have
been sealed by the action of the
U. s. Supreme Court, which re-
fused to grant a writ of Habeas
Corpus. making possible a new

And those taxes awoke me before
day
So much tax put on the poor man
No way for the poor man to pay.
When a poor man has spent all of
his life
Like a bucket on busy we'll
With his ups and downs trying to
pay these tax
He then die and go to hell.
The strong should bear the infor-
native of the weak
Don't burden the weak when
they are old.
Exempt them from all tax today
Then God can save their souls.
God gave us all five sense
Some don't think as we'll as a

They never look one day ahead
Born in the world a fool.

crucified
On the third day | will arise
Some fool didn't think like mule

When Jesus arose they were all
surprised.

If we expect to get to heaven
We must obey Gods will

To die on Calvery's hill

y observable that the great majority the teachers
deeply disturbed and that their disturbance is due
to the fact that the purpose of the Legislature is far
from being brought about in the admnistery of the So

of graft, and large scale corruption in high places
of public trust of the tricks and Vaccinations as
pointed out during the discussion being used on Negro
teachers to rob them of real and actual increase in

CONSERVATION
 NOTES

I have received information that the amount of money al- lowed under the Conservation Payment Program will be somc- what less next year.
 The practices that are eligible for payment will be about the same as before. The Soil Conser- vation Service is now required to inspect the site of permanent practices such as land clearing, both before and after the job is done. These are orders from the Secretary of Agriculture. The prior inspection is for two req sons. The first is to determine If your soil is deep enough to be farmed after. clearing. The second purpose Is to determine if the pro- posed clearing will open up your fields to wind erosion. You won't be paid for clearing woods that protect from wind, unless you establish new windbreaks in bet ter locations.
 The inspection after clearing IS to see if you did a good job and also to measure the land cleared. If topsoil is pushed into the stumproW by a dozer blade, the clearing cannot be approved for payment. If most of the humus and decomposed moss at the soil surface is pushed into the stump row the clearing cannot be ap- proved, At least part of the top soil clinging to the tree roots must also be left on the field. This IS easy to do if the field has been slashed beforehand and the brush burned Then the stumps can be rolled around bit as they are windrowed. If the trees are tipped over the season before, the dirt on the roots dries and is easily shaken off. In other words, extra effort must be used to do a con- servation job of clearing before conservation funds may be used to assist farmers in doing this work.
 We would appreciate knowing early if you intend to clear under the Conservation Program next year. That will help us in sched- uling the prior inspections neces- sary. Applications should be made through the Extension Service of- flee.

1q51 School Tox Bills In The Moii This Week

School tax bills for 1851 will be in the mail this week, district as- sessor and tax collector, William Head, promised this week.
 Taxes may be paid at the as- sessor's office in the Neal Wright building any time after receipt of the tax bill. They must be paid on or before February 1, 1852, or they become delinquent.
 The total Palmer School District tax bill amounts to an increase of 50 percent over last year, the assessor said. This increase is due largely to the picking up of prop critics hitherto untaxed.

P.TA GIVEN TIPS ON
 MENTAL HYGIENE BY GUIDANCE DIRECTOR

FAOblCSNEA4k Y d ] G II anu teachers Who spend all their class period in talking so that students are forced to do all their work at home were rapped by Mrs. Ernes- tine Danielson, guidance director for the Anchorage schools in her talk to members of the Parent Teacher Association at Palmer School Tuesday evening.
 Stressing the fact that the pres ent educational trend gives em- phasis to the maturity of the in dividual child. she insisted that a child shouldn't be forced into a given educational procedure until he is ready for it. Parents and teachers who would push" chil- dren into a pre-cOnceived sched- ule were equally guilty, she said
 What difference does it make whether a child reads at age six or seven" she asked. "A child's education begins when he wants knowledge.
 An educated person was de scribed by Mrs. Danielson as one who has a good fund of informa- ton about what has gone before and knows how to meet the prob lems which come in the future.
 Parents who are adolescent n the treatment of their children could be recognized by the fol- lowing symptoms, according 70 the guidance director: They want to make their childrens' deci- sions. They call their children time after time in the morning instead of letting them develop a sense of responsibility. They are still dressing their children at the age of six.
 However, guidance is needed from the wise parent during the pre-adolescent period in the ju- nior high school age group and the adolescent period in the high school group. The benefit for out lets such as athletics and dra- matics during these critical perl ods, particularly with the high school set in the full throes of the religious-philosophical phase of development.
 Children who are understood and have a good interest to ab- sorb them will not get in trouble" Miss Danielson said. There is more sense of security when there is firm sense of discipline The we'll disciplined child has dis ciplined mind - the discipline comes from within"
 In her concluding remarks she emphasized that Alaska's most pressing juvenile need is a school for handicapped children, or place in the individual educa tional systems for such children.
 Miss Ruuball's Room Wins

Miss Barbara Rumball's third graders won the $15 first prize with 187 percent. Fred Stassels fifth grade was a close second, winning the $10 prize with 130 percent. Miss Virginia Carle's
