APPEAL TO FURNEss-W Witty
THE IMPENDING withdrawal Of the SSH

IMPENDING withdrawal of the S.S.bFortsTown-
Shend Of the FurnesS-Withy Line is a matter Of more than
little concern both for the merchants and businessmen. and
the population as a whole. These Islands must make every
effort to keep every available means Of contact with the
mainland, and cognizant Of this the Chamber Of Commerce
which has become one Of the most alert agencies, is again on
the job of trying to make further contact, and if possible.
induce the Furness Line officials not to withdraw the Fort
ToWnshend.
WITH THE INTRODUCTION of civilian air travel and
communication, it was natural that the steamship as as a mode.
of travel would decrease, and nc. doubt the drop in passen-
ger travel has had its adverse effect. But there is nothing that.
can quite take the place Of ships for hauling great quantities
of freight long distances over water. The Fort ToWnshend had
come, within recent years, to occupy a particular spot. It was
this ship which kept the islands supplied with frozen foods,
another important commodity since World War II.
BUSINESSMEN WILL now be forced to turn to Puerto
Rico as an intermediate point in the Importation but each
additional handling Of a commodity makes for added costs.
Goods must be taken off the ships in San Juan then reloaded
on schooners heading for these shores. Adrect route from
New York would have been the best possible method.
THEN E WAS the advantage of leisuely passen-
ger travel for those who either did not care to fly, or wanted
to use asea trip as a vacation in Itself passenger vessel ply
ing these waters seemed to have given the type Of satisfaction
which is difficult to replace. It IS hoped that something will
be worked out, and in short order. These Islands need all
available freight transportation between here and the
mainland.

Italians Served Own Aims.
Within their own lights, and
for their own aims, the Italians
did a remarkable job in the
Libyan desert. They built the two
splendid cities of modern Bengasi
and Tripoli. though the former,
with its fine port. was largely de-
stroyed in the last war. Flying
over the desert one can look down
upon superb plantations of citrus
and vines, which Italian planters
developed with government SUBJ
sides for some fifty or sixty thou
sand Italian colonistS. The Ital-
ian government Withdrew them
all from Cyrenaica before the war
was over. fearing they would all
be killed and their plantations
and demographical centers there
are being re-absorbed by the
Like all empires, they made for
tunes for a few Libyan collabo-
rators. But since their intention
was to Italianize the area, they
did nothing for the native popu-
lation. At the end Of SO years of
Italian rule there were hardly so
university graduates in the entire
country and in the whole of
Cyrenaica only two elementary
public schools. A new independent
state has. therefore. been created
without even the rudiments of an
educated class to man its services
and conduct it's affairs.

Columbia, S. C.-The Rockefeller
Foundations General Education
Board has agreed to give South
Carolina State A. & NJ. College at
Orangeburg 100000 on the col
lege's building program, it was re-
.vealed here last week by Gov
James F. Byrnes.
The governor took pride in dis
closing the grant because he thinks
more support for Negro education
will give the South and praticu
larly South Carolina a better
chance to defeat the efforts of the
NAACP to have the courts abolish
the segregated school system of
the South.
Byrnes had makeshift graduate
course established at Orangeburg
with the hope of offsetting the
move in his state to force white
institutions of higher learning to
admit qualified Negro students.
The NAACP plans to continue it's
attack of segregated schools in the
south regardless of efforts made to
prove that white and Negro schools
in segregated system can be
equal.

the seams are straight. We are
taking for granted that you have
taken the time to arrange your
"daintiness" chore = cleanliness
Of body, face, hands.
Here comes the important thing
how to act after you have ar
rived on the scene where there are
others just as important as you.
Surely each of you must know
how to go over to the Tea table
where your Hostess is likely to
be pouring Tea, take her folded
tea napkin, her cut Of tea, and
any delicacies on the table, and
then move quietly to a seat and
enjoy talking quietly with others.
Believe it or not, there are peo-
pie who think acceptable behavior
at a Tea includes slipping shoes
off the feet, talking loudly to
others, and making repeated trips
to the Tea table. Nothing could be
worse than lover helping" your
self. Never try to make a full
meal Of what is served at an after
noon affair, unless it is a dinner.
Let's continue to study the right
thing to wear, the right things to
say and do on all occasions. Thus,
we will develop poise, and poise
is merely knowing that you KNOW
you know.

manager who can speak the Ian
guage of the northern liberals, the
big city machines.
In his bid for a strong Negro
vote, the senator appointed James
C. Mason, John R. Arnold. Jr., and
Joseph Albright as sectional cam
paign organizers.
Mason, who is the former pub
Usher Of the Pulse magazine, will
operate from Sen. Kefauver's head
quarters in Washington. Arnold,
who is president of the Friendly
Fidelity Co., of Memphis, Tenn,
will be connected jointly with the
Tennessee area and national head
quarters.
Albright is handling the Chicago
area. He is the former special as
sistant to administrator Of the
Veterans Administration. Another
Negro probably will be appointed
to take care OF the Baltimore area.
On a national level, Sen. Kefau-
Yer has chosen as MS campaign
manager Gael Sullivan, who acted
as chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee in 1947 and early
1913.
Sullivan is an Irish Catholic who
has the reputation Of being friend
to labor and sympathizer to mi
norities.
Sen. Kefauver's new campaign
manager will no doubt help the
Tennesseean fight the charges
that he cannot win the support Of
the certain states because of his
position on civil rights.
These charges persist in spite
Of the senator's effort to convince
the public that he will stand on
the platform adopted by the Dem
ocratic National Convention at
Chicago, whatever it is. He even
made this assertion during his Flor
ida primary campaign.
He has continued to say that. for
his part, he has generally accepted
the civil rights proposal with the
exception of a compulsory FEPC.
At least one northern Democrat,
Sen. Paul Douglass of Illinois, has
openly come out in support of Ke-
fauver.

When we think of charm, we must

Formal" is written on the invi-

safe in a suit dressed up with a

would find their suits or other
business dress, in good taste. The

to milady what is known as the
three-way dress-one which has
the attractive low-cut neckline, the
beautiful bouffant or plain sleeves,
and a little Bolero jacket to be
worn in the office and removed

worn at afternoon gatherings.
