NAACP Hits
Civil Service
RecIassifications
In The South

WASHINGTON. Nav o2.-The
National Association for tho Ad-
vancement Of Colored People
charged this week that civil ser
vice Redistribution of southern
janitors and charwomen, most of
whom are Negroes, will cause
them to lose thousands of dollars
in pay in more than fifty areas in
the South.
Clarence Mitchell, director of the
NAACP Washington Bureau, ap-
peared before the Civil Service
Board of Appeals on behalf of Ne
gro employees at Kelly field, San
Antonio, Texas, who were trans
ferred from classified civil service
ratings to upgraded area ratings.
Under the area ratings, classified
Ianltors and charwomen become la
borers and their pay is then based
on what local non-government la
borers are paid-a loss in paw
ranging from sixteen to thirty cents
an hour. Other benefits of the
classified civil service are also
lost.
Mrs. Susie Henderson of Atlanta,
formerly employed at an army post
IN the South, told the NAACP that
her Redistribution might amount
to a loss of as much as $500 a
year.
As a result Of a three-year fight
against the Justification AT
Kelly Field, Texas, under the lead
ership of the San Antonio NAACP
branch, the Texas regional office
OF the Civil Service Commission
ordered the employees returned to
a classified status, but the Air
Force and other defense establish
ments appealed to Washington.
The Washington office of the Com
mission also ruled in favor of the
employees.

NEW YORK - (GlobaD -
Are you sitting pretty? That's an
expression used often, although the
english is not correct, since it
should be "are you sitting grace
fully"
However, let US concentrate on
the proper way to sit, SO as to
create an appearance of ease and
well-being. Remember to sit with
the back erect and very seldom
against the back of the chair, since
most chair backs are made on a
slant. One of the best things to do
on entering room is to get a
quick glance at the seating ar
rangement, choose the chair you
wish to occupy, and then walk
slowly toward it, stand in front of
it just second letting the back
Of your legs touch the chair, so
that you may sit down GRACE
FULLY. Immediately, without at
tracing attention, arrange your
skirt to cover your knees, and then
relax your feet and your hands.
Your feet should not be cross
ed at the ankles, nor showed out
in front of you so that a person
would have to step owe: them to
pass. If you must cross your legs
be sure it is done a little above
the knees, then you will not bulge
in the wrong place. Stout persons
should never cross the knees al
all.
Sit gracefully with relaxed
mind and body. Project one foo,
slightly, keeping knees close to-
gether and feet flat on the floor
For those who wear pencil-line
skirts, be sure that you have room
enough in them and that they are
long enough to let you sit com.
fortably. Try sitting gracefully
and be poised.

Emily Post Advises

The writer Of this letter may
very well have cause for worry:
II have q daughter who never
comes right into the house after
returning home from a date. but
sits out in the car talking to her
boy friend. I have asked her not
to do this as it will only cause gos-
sip among the neighbors. But she
just tells me that she Is not doing
anything wrong and that I worry
too much about what the neigh
bors think. Perhaps word from
you will make her see how wrong
she Is"
Much as I dislike criticizing the
younger generation, I have in this
instance to agree that your daugh-
ter is wrong and you are right.
After she returns home she should
bid the young man good night and
promptly come into the house.
