Watch TV
With Light

It's not true That room must be
dark to watch television.
A long time ago lighting special
lists established that the sharp con-
trast of a spot of bright light
aaginst darkness caused eye fa-
tigue. To cut both glare and gloom
a subdued general illumination
should be used, explains Grace Ry-
an, extension home management
specialist at the University of Ari-
ZOna.
Place low or soft lights where
they won't be in the line of vision
between the viewer and the screen
or cast a bright spot on the screen.
Indirect lights placed at the back,
above, or on either side of the set
will balance the light from the
teIevisiOn screen.
Have special lamp with a me-
dium-dark shade for use when
watching TV, but for everyday liv-
ing, use lamps with light coloped
shades. During daylight hours, cur
tains or venetian blinds should be
adjusted to prevent light from
shining directly on the screen or
into a viewers eyes.

pie living in Negro Harlem and we
were told it all started back around
1900 when a Negro real estate man
named Philip Payton, who learned
that the Harlem area was being
over-built, bought upa number OF
houses and filled them with Negro
tenants, thus. starting the migra-
ton of Negroes to the area. Be-
yond that, our guide was practical
ly silent.
Well, put me down as a person
who exercises remarkable re-
straint. 1t was all I could do to
keep from snatching the walkie-
talkie and giving out with my own
spiel on the community Harlem
has become, despite vicious propa-
ganda, conspiracy, and neglect.
I wanted to tell these visitors
that the Harlem they always
heard of as being "out of. bounds
for respectable tourists, is COM
munity full of sober, hard-working
citizens who condutc more than
5000 businesses of their own, in
Guiding everything from news
stands and small stores to haber-
daSherieS and manufacturing
plants. 1 wanted them to know
that although Harlem's gaudy side
has been played up, there are also
beautiful church edifices, repre-
senting thousands of devout people
and millions of dollars, libraries,
schools, community centers, all
helping to make the community!
a better one.
twas itching to say that 125th
Street offers a model in interracial

that although Harlem has it gay
night life, it also has Savings
Bank owned and directed entirely
by Negroes, which boasts of assets
in excess of 81 million in it's four
short years of existence, and two
insurance companies that operate
under the strict insurance laws of
New York State. These are tfst
tiny fragments of the Harlem
story, but they point up the Ne
grOs vital role in the life of New

If Asia and Africa are allowed
to be brought under the influence
of Russia, a serious blow will be
struck against our way of life.
Here's hoping the leaders of our
government will have enough
Imagination to place themselves
in the position of the mistreated

do, they will make some decision
that would be to the advantage of
their country in years to come.
A glimpse into the pages of his

Straight
Ahead
By OLIVE A. ADAMS

NEW YORK (GlobaD-A couple
of weeks ago, we had company
from out of town. The lady was
my cousin and she came to visit
us from Chicago. She had heard
about all the sights New York had
to offer, and. she wanted to take
in a few oft hem. and have look
see at some of the tall buildings.
So we followed the advice of the
travel folders.
They were right. The view from
the top of the Empire State Build
ing is thrill one doesn't forget
soon-Long Island looks like it's
just across the street, and Central
Park looks about as big as a post
age stamp. And there's nothing
more charming than to do "once
around the Park" in a Hanson
Cab. Coney Island, The Stature of
Liberty, St. Patrick's Cathedral,
Rockefeller Plaza, the Cloisters,
China Town and many other
scenes, all contributed to the color
full picture of New York which we
tried to paint in just few days.
And then, there's an excursion
boat : trip around the Island of
Manhattan which nobody should
miss, either. We boarded an excur-
sion boat named "The Normandy
for the three-hour trip, during
which a personable guide delivers
a prepared "spiel" on all the points
of interest along the way. We
heard a great deal about the early
history of New York. We were told
about Fort Clinton, Fraunces Tav-
ern, and many other places that
figured in the story of the Ameri-
can Revolution. We heard anec-
dotes and incidents having to do
with New York's early days, and
stories of some of the colorfu per-
sonalities. who contributed to the
growth of the big city. We spotted
most of the early skyscrapers, and
had pointed out to us the apart
ment buildings, office buildings,
hospitals, bridges, barges, high
ways and smokestacks that pune
tuate the Manhattan skyline and
ShOreline.
But when 1.-THE Normandy
passed 10th Street and was glid-
ing by the community known as
Harlem, there was dearth of in
formation to be had. We heard the
usual cut-and-dried, hackneyed
speech about the three Harlems-
Italian Harlem, Puerto Rican Har-
lem, and Negro Harlem. We heard
that there were about 100000 peo-

Getting
Along
BY LAUREEN WHITE

NEW YORK (GlobaD Imagine
you are native of Africa-forced
to live a harsh, poverty stricken,
and uninspiring existence. Imagine
you have been forced from the fer
tile fields of your native cOmmu-
nifty and driven to barren reserva-
tionS where life is hard. You are
forced to carry large number of
passes when you leave the reser-
walton and you find these passes
very expensive.
Imagine that you are forced to
live under laws you did not make
and give your labor to support Of
ficials you did not elect. Moreover,
these officials in no way represent
your interest but are dedicated to
keeping you impoverished and
weak. Further imagine that all of
these conditions are symbolic of
Western European and American
rule.
Now, imagine you are an Asian.
Your cCkltry, too, has been over
run by a group that is hostile to
your advancement. You, too, are
S gre e d and Disseminated
against in your native land. Imag-
inc you are dominated and con-
trolled by people who came to your
country to take what you have.
These people get up extraterritor-
ial courts in your country and did
not feel obligated to abide by your
laws.
The invaders of your country
who come and go as they please,
place many restrictions on your
entering their sector. You and your
forefathers for generations have
equated this condition to the way
of life advocated by the Americans
and the Western Europeans.
Imagine new power appearing
on the hoizon to threaten Amerit,
can and Western European influ-
ence in your land. This new pow
er has weaknesses and bad points
that you can easily see. 1t is a
one-party system and no opposi-
ton is tolerated. You know the
new power is ruthless, but they
would not single you out and han-
dicap youo account of your race.
Now, if you were an intelligent,
self-respecting citizen of an Asian
or African nation, and had your
hcoice to select between the two
powers mentioned, which one
would you select?
The future of our civilization de-

Coley Wallace looks a lot more
like Joe Louis in "The Joe Louis
Story" than he did in the ring
the other night when he found
Ezzard Charles contesting his
right to standing room. He has
some expert help in impersonat-
ing the Bomber in the new fllm.
at the Pix Theater, Of course.
Scenes with Mr.. Wallace in the
role Of the young Louis are inter-
spersed by Director Robert Cor
don with newsreel clips showing
the actual young Louis in action.
It ISL neat trick for lending the
picture authenticity. It probably
turns 1t into something Of a
semi-documentary.
How closely 'The Joe Louis"
on the screen follows actuality
is something you will have to
learn from some one who knows
him better than this reviewer.
It probably is close enough to
the truth. It touches upon his
domestic troubles (the fight game
kept him from spending enough
time with his wife) and his tax
alton troubles CONSIDERABLY.
The film also manages to recre-
ate the drama Of Louis decision,
after winning the heavyweight
title, that he wasn't the cham
pion Of the world while Max
Schmeling was still vertical. He
took care of that in short order,
knocking Schmeling's Nazi boasts
down his throat along with his
teeth. Shots of both Schmeling
fights are shown, along with
some other notable and exciting
moments of the Louis career.
1.-THE Joe Louis" story probably
is a picture with special audi
ence-one interested in Louis in
particular and in the prizef1ght
trade in general. 1t easily could
be one movie which owes lot
to television, Which has spread
wide an interest in the boxing
business. Wallace, incidentally,
does very we'll in his impersona-
ton of the champ. Hilda Simms
as Marva Louis and James Ed
wards as "Chappie" Blackburn,
the fighters manager, head the
supporting cast. Competent peo-
pie, they are completely credit
able all of the time here.

Rita Hayworth is a remark
ably vivacious "Miss Sadie

version of Somerset Maugham's
short story classic at Keith's.
Miss Hayworth manages to At

sist sugaring up the ending. or
taking moments here and there
to wave Sd palm trees in your
face and show you what Techni-
color can do with South Sea
island scenery. Still, it's a good
movie.
AS the story goes, Sadie ar
rives in a Pacific port en- route
to New Caledonia out of a shady
past. Her coming is, naturally. a
quite expressible delight to the
islands contingent of U. S. Ma
rineS.
This is not shared by a fellow
arrival, one Alfred Davidson. a
missionary who has spent his
life enforcing his rigid concep-
ton of morality on the islands.
A typhus quarantine of her
boat maroons Sadie on the is
land. Making the best of this.
she proceeds to liven things up
with a briskness wholly admir-
able in view of the sitting heat
everyone complains about.
Davidson, however, recognizes
Sadie as a fugitive from a
raided Honolulu night spot, and
begins a relentless campaign to
save her immortal soul. A pre-
requisite is that she go back to
San Francisco and face prosecu-
ton for an old involvement in
which she claims to have been
an innocent bystander.
Even with the support of
smitten Marine Sergt. Phil
O'Hara and sympathetic DR..
MacPhail, Sadie cannot stand up
against this seemingly immov-
able wall of virtue and the story
moves on to its ironic tragedy.

The basic plot of the musical,
so gaily ornamented with ex-

cerned with the characters of

that his collaboration with Gil

the profits and popularity it
brought.

Warmers have dressed Doris
Day in buckSkin in Calamity
Jane" the new musical at the
Metropolitan and Ambassador
theaters, but no one will be
fooled.
Any resemblance between the
sunny singer and the two-gun
gal of Deadwood's deadly days is
inconceivable and every one in
the film is resigned to this dole
full situation. Every one. that is,
but Miss Day who as enthusiast
tically herself as if she were
playing a freckle-faced girl called
Day.
This is not entirely the fault
of the title role star in Calamity
Jane" let it be said. James
O'Hanlon's script is a museum
piece, tired bit of writing that
looks as if the author decided to
leave any spirit in the musical
up to the performers and the
composer. Once in a while this
policy seems to work, as when
Howard Keel Miss Day or Allyn
McLerie cuts loose with a song.
Keel'S role in Calamity Jane"
is that of Wild Bill Hickok and
while his voice is one of the mu<
Sical's few solid assets, his pres
ence is not an unalloyed bless
ing. It keeps reminding the
spectator that he was Betty Hut
tons blithe collaboration in
"Annie Get Your Gun," a picture
with which the present one
should not be compared.
Visually and vocally. the latest
Of Miss Days musicals does oc-
casionally succeed in masking its
mediocrity. It achieves this, for
instance, when Keel does one of
his characteriStically authorita-
tive jobs on the ballad Higher
Than A Hawk" He and Miss Day
also pair winningly in one duet,
II Can Do Without You" and
Miss McLerie contributes a
brightish vocal bit in "The Harry

Maugham's Rain" and previous

a disillusioned, chip-on-the-

at the outset a cheerful, outgoing
sort who, though she knows her
way around, doesn't let whatever
conviction she may have that
all men are pigs sour her on life.
Even the downpour that Gus
tomarily pounds the story's ten
sions to their explosive climax
seems relegated to more or less
incidental status.
Miss Hayworth does, however,
give . good account of Sadie's
anguish, and the characterize
