THANK YOU" NOTE.

(MrS. A. H. A., Washington
I would like 10 thank all the
kind people who so kindly
wrote to me through the RICH
about my mysterious and sim
lister insect, and I would like
TO thank The Star for sending
the letter to me. Wish I could
answer each letter individually.
The general opinion, tenta-
lively confirmed over the tele-
phone by a Government
agency that deals with the
Identification of bugs, is that
the creatures I had in my eel
lar were cave, or field crick-
cts, and that they do not
sting. They are monstrous
looking. Of course, but harm
less to man. Sometimes,
though. I was told they do at
tack fabrics and food stuff.
Following the advice I received
from RICH, we shut the cellar
windows tightly to prevent any
more from getting in, and
sprayed the place several times
with DDT. Since then, I
haven't seen q single one (and
I hope ! Inever do againD

Weather Won't
Cooperate With
Park Commissioners

Commissioner Norris o. Hal
vorson of the st. Paul parks and
Fairgrounds and his department
are endeavoring to have good ice
on the 81 skating and hockey
Kinks to provide for the usual
winter sports fun during the holi-
day vacation period. However,
without the cooperation of the
weather, it is impossible to ac-
complish this aim.
Flooding was started last week
when the weather turned cold. and
while ideal conditions did not ex-
ist anywhere, there was skating
on the regular year-round play
ground Kinks. Now that the wea-
Their has turned so warm flood
ing has stopped and much of the
ice that had formed has melted
and seeped into the ground,
The department expects to re-
sumo flooding as soon as 1t is
cold enough and every effort will
be made to make skating good
as soon as possible.

Said Shorty sadly: 1T hurt my

One minister warned Rozella: I'VE

When Rozella heard that some

leased today by Walter White,
executive secretary.
The first of these, the political
action campaign, was launched
early in the year. At a meeting
in Jacksonville, Florida, in jan
uary, a program was devised for
a non-partisan drive to double the
number of registered Negro voters
in the southern states. More con-
crete action was planned in At
Ianta IN April, at a political action
institute where emphasis was
placed on training workers in the
techniques of organizing registra-
ton and voting drives.

it sent its top officers to both the
Republican and Democratic ma
tional conventions to present pro-
posals for strong civil rights
planks and to work for inclusion
of these planks in party platforms.
In addition, the voting records of
all members Of the SIND Congress

rights were published for the
guidance of voters. Several paid
field workers and countless volun-
teer workers were active in the
vote drive.

was published by the Association.
Statistics on the vote in FREEDOM

The Education Cases
On the legal front, Mr.. Whites

on segregation in public element
airy and secondary schools, cul-
minating in the presentation of

fore the United States Supreme

these cases-involving segrega-
ton of Negro pupils in the schools
of Clarendon County, S. C.; To-
peka, Kans.; Prince Edward Coun-
ty, Va; and a suburb Of Whining
ton. Del, were argued by attorneys
for the NAACP, headed by Thur

The fifth, seeking to end segrega-

TRUE HAPPINESS

True happiness is Of q retired nature,
and an enemy to pomp and noise; it arises,
In the first place from the enjoyment Of
ones self; and in the next, from friendship
and conversation of few select compan-
ions; false happiness loves to be in a
crowd and draw the eyes Of the world upon
her. She does not receive any satisfaction
from the applause which she gives herself,
but from the admiration she raises in
others.-Addison
