HARTFORD, Conn. - up - A
system of divorce prevention" has
been worked out by the Very Rev.
Louis M. Hirshson, dean of Christ
Church Cathedral in Hartford.
All couples married in the
church in the past five years were
invited to a special service, which
began with the traditional sacred
wedding music. The marriage GER
emOny was re-read and all were
invited to stand and join in renewal
of marriage promises.
Il have known of church people
who became divorced" the dean

prayed and worshipped together
habitually, to have become sepa-

Things That
Interest Women
By BESSIE F. BELL

How Do You Look? Beauty,
beauty, is everywhere! 1t is you
and you, teenagers, and those who
are not. We are all quite pretty
Just pamper this race and natural
treasure that we've inherited and
with the proper way of living we
can cultivate it into constant
kind of beauty.
All too often we see an other
wise pretty face that lacks the
natural bloom in complexion. To-
days girl, may have a smoother
complexion than did grandma in
her day, but Grandma was up front
with the natural coloring, and that
alone should prove that something
is wrong with our method of living
We paint the bloom on our
cheeks, while Grandma's grew
there in natures own way. The one
thing we can never boast of as
long as we continue to go to bed
with the birds are sending out
their early morning chirps. Re-
member my pet Grandma went to
bed when the chickens went to
roost. Old fashion, you say? Per-
haps, but you must admit that the
girl of yesteryear had one thing
that we do not have-natural color
in her cheeks. Natural color comes
with perfect health. You can build
that perfect health by getting plen-
ty of exercise out of doors. This
pump cleans oxygen into the lungs,
which in turns speeds up the cir
culation. Then the blood rushes to
all the cells of the body.
Since good looks depends on good
health, then the well being of ones
physical condition requires the
right kind of food as well as the
proper amount when there is norm
al elimination of the body wastes
through the skin, lungs, kidneys
and intestinal tract, then the COM
plexion will glow with a soft petal
like freshness.
Fatigue is one Of beauty's great
est foes, so no matter how much
work there is to be done, Stop try
ing to make yourself into a ma
chine when you are tired. Drop
everything and treat yourself to a
rest period.
If you have allowed the pounds
to pile up, by all means get rid OF

Something To Be Proud OF

During a recent interview, General Douglas Mac
Arthur, deposed UN and Far East Commander, said of
the performance of Negro soldiers in Korea, Il have
criticism of Negro troops under my command in the
Korean They didn't send me enough of Them
We consider this statement highly complimentary,
since it from person stepped in the knowledge Of
modern warfare-and the diverse man-power modern
demand.
The performance of American Negro soldiers, it
must be concluded, compares favorably with that of
white Americans, and troops of contributing UN
tons We doubted that Negroes under fire would
perform otherwise.
Ordinarily, it would hardly be necessary to compare
soldiers any basis other than their will and ability
to fight But misguided propagandsts have too often
accused Negroes of cowadce poor morale and rrespon
sby in BATTLE disregardng the fact that the presence
absence of quantities that make good fighting
not matter of race, but good leadership and train
ing Ostwar inegration it seems the greatest contri
button to the efficiency of new army Negro SOL
ders for example, no longer tossed ndscrminate-
V into service and housekeeping outfits solely because
of their color.
American Negroes can be proud of the accomplish
ments of their and husbands just they have
been of past accomplishments in times of national peril
Our boys IN Korea today meeting the initial
onslaught of power-mad force bent on world domina-
ton. They're doing their job well. Who can ask for
more?

ARE YOU WISE WITHOUT THE
LOVE OF GOD
There was an old song long years
ago
The words 'I'll never turn back
no more
1t seems as if the world is making
it true
Some on the road to He'll, now
what about you?
This song was sung in the old OK
wagon days
When the people were lifting up
Christ
Teaching their children to obey
them
And to live respectable life.
In the old OK wagon days there
was plenty of shame
Good moral on every hand
But now we are living in the mod
ern day
With no shame from land to
land.
A very few children in the modern
day
Will obey their parents at all.
The world has lost most all the
shame
And our country is bound to fall.
Sin has killed shame for and near
With modern day of fast speed,
Educating your children for heroes,
And for Christ sake they want
take heed.
Prosperity is death to millions |
say
They have turned their backs on
Christ
They are trying to live the modern
way
And have no shame in their life.
We must bring shame back to life
Shame is dead from land to land
To educate every race without
shame
No way for these people to
stand.
Millions want to get in Gods
Heaven
You want work a single day
Faith without work is dead | am
told
Now where do you expect to
stay.

which each individual Negro can
be forced to appeal to the election
commission before being allowed to
register, and even before he can
file suit to obtain that right it
would take a thousand years be-
fore enough made in Hattiesburg
could register and vote in order for
it to be truthfully said that
Negroes here enjoy every right ac-
corded every other citizen.
In Jackson, Percy Greene, Presi-
dent of the Mississippi Negro
Democratic Association said that
the decision of the Court of APP
peals in the Hattiesburg Voting
Case, was in reality, and in all of
its implications, set back to the
Mississippi Negro in his attempt
to secure to vote as an American
Citizen, inspite of the reversal of
the opinion of the lower Court.
Greene said, in order to secure
their full and unrestrictive right to
vote which is their only hope, and
the one remaining hope of De-
mocracy, Negroes everywhere in
Mississippi must be prepared to
aid those in Hattiesburg in every
way possible in getting a final de-
cision in the case from the United
States Supreme Court on the doc
trine of Administrative Remedies
in a voting case which he expressed
the opinion, based on previous
cases, would be condemned by the
United States Supreme Court.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: A long time ago | read a
book by Harold Bell Wright, titled
When A Mans A Man." the story
oming to my mind most wildly
while | sat before my Fish and
Beer down at the Booker 7. Grill,
one of the most popular spots
along the Ole Avenue, now owned
and operated by julius Mitchell
and his wife, who became very
yopular with Ole Avenue Cafe So
ciety while operating the one time
Budweiser Inn. What brought
"When A Mans A Man" back to
my mind is Chauncey Davis, whose
suffering and concern is so deeply
visible as a result of the accident
that led to the amputation of the
left leg Of his wife, the beautiful
Pearl Davis, last week, who at
this writing is still in the hospital
up at Rolling Fork. Here is a
family tragedy that points-up all
the implications and contingencies
that arise in the struggle of life
and living =. Here too is trag-
edy from which can begin the
really good life and for the
Davis family | hope it will !.
and to Chauncey Davis, as he
bears-up under the heavy load |
say congratulations for an out
standing example of When A
Mans A Man.
