many times do I go upstairs or
down cellar? Are all those trips
necessary? How often do 1 bend
over to get the same piece of equip
ment and then put it back after use?
For example, where is your dishpan
stored? Is there a more convenient
place? Perhaps there is a good rea-
son for the backaches. Getting out
the dishpan is no major motion to
be sure. But added to a great many
others during the day, it can add up
to daily fatigue.

housekeeping problems contributing
to worry, anxiety and fatigue
showed that Al per cent believed
laundry headed the list. Here's how
the list rated: laundry, Al per cent;
family relations, 25 per cent; house

The most fatiguing movements
were STOPPING, carrying, lifting,
walking, standing and stretching.
STOPPING and carrying led with the

night in a small Montana inland
town. 1t would not be the sort of
place one would naturally plan to
be when night overlook him-no
water or sewage system, few trees
just an arid little town on the
prairie. AS we had approached the
town we saw modest sign advertis-
ing cabins. 1t had been hot day
surely cabin would be cooler than
a hotel A few rods off the highway,
we came upon them.
A pleasant middle-aged woman
came out to greet us. Yes, there
was one cabin left.
We went in. C1 eanness and
thoughtful consideration for a trav-
eller's needs were evident every
where - comfortable beds with
snowy white sheets and plump, cool
pillows; towels and washclothes
with extra ones in the drawer;
calendar turned to the current
month; writing materials in the
desk; New Testament; few cur
rent magazines; a gentle breeze
blowing the crisp, freshly laundered
white curtains.
We were getting ourselves orient
ed when the pleasant woman came
to the door with pail of water from
the artesian well and a pitcher of
ice cubes. 'It has been a hot day
and you will be wanting a cool
drink of water" There was no run
ming water so she showed us that
we could heat water over the gas
burner. When we opened the cub
board door, there were full sugar
bowl and salt and pepper shakers
and something never seen before in
a tourist cabin-tea bags, jar of
powdered coffee and a package of
chocolate After a days travel, a
cup of tea might be just the thing
needed.
All these little niceties of thought
full consideration for strangers made
us feel very humble and we went
to sleep peacefully, knowing that
wherever we go we find nice peo-
pie. We did hope, however, that all
this Thoughtful service was appreci-
ated.
That wondering was answered in
the morning when we spied little
guest book in which travellers had
left messages of appreciation for the
cleanness, for the warmth in the
winter, for the brave attempt for
GOODNESS in the summer, for the tea
bags. The travellers had come from
the East, the South, the West anc
if they ever came this way again
they would come back.

Green ChiIes
On Market Now

With plenty of green chiles on
the market now it might pay to
purchase what you will need dur
ing the coming year and freeze
them.
The clear green color of fresh
peppers can be retained in frozen
chiles, says Elsie H. Morris, extern
sion nutrition specialist at the Uni
versity of Arizona. Instead of
steaming or blanching the chiles
use paraffin to peel them. At the
same time the engines present
which cause the undesirable
changes in appearance and flavor
are effectively destroyed.
Melt the paraffin in a large can
in kettle of boiling water to avoid
flash fires from the paraffin. Wash
the fresh green chiles and dry them
thoroughly. Prick the skins with
la fork or knife to keep the pods
from exploding because of steam.
When yop prick the skins avoid
puncturing the flesh of the chiles.
Heat the paraffin to between 375
and 800 degrees Fahrenheit over di-
rect heat. Lower the chiles into
the paraffin with frying basket
or place a few at a time in the
melted paraffin. Allow the chiles
to blister and turn white all over.
This takes only few minutes.
When you take the peppers from
the hot paraffin put them in cold
water. Use ice cubes to make the
water good and cold This hardens
the paraffin which comes off with
the skin when the pepper is peeled.
The peppers are left clean and
whole. Remove the stem and seeds
with knife, then flatten the chAes
to force out the air.
Between "a to 80 chiles can be
packed in one moisture-vapor proof
pint container. Exclude as much
air as possible pleaving one-halt
inch l1eadspace for expansion. They
keep in storage for 9 months or
more.

Things Don't Just Happen But
We Welcome The Change

''It's long road that has end, said the poet
And speaking of changes, joyful for the many
changes that have been brought about in great city of
Phoenix in the last three months in regards to rela
ons Which only follows that cndton will change with
tine and perseverance.
Although it folly to believe conditions just change

gtant effort somebody's part
Who is naive enough to believe that the change in
our segregated school system just happened without effort
someone's part Or the policy of our theatres just
changed because the management got tired of the status
quo?

many Negroes who aren't ready
and a great many more whites who
aren't ready" But the gentle
man should do a little research in
the fields of business and industry
Then perhaps he would come upon
some startling information.
Nobody has ever been able to
stop interracial marriage. 1t has
come about even in the face of re-
stricting laws. Besides, it is a pure
ly personal matter that no outsid-
er should tamper with too much.
AS for integrated schools-every-
thing points to change in that pat
tern. The segregated school is on
it's way out in many sections of the
country, and the weight of public
opinion is bringing about a change
for the better even in those areas
where strict segregation has been
enforced.
But the biggest surprise would
come to Montague if he were to do
little research in the field of
industry. There he would find Ma
groes integrated in top manage
ment and sales forces; he would
find that some of the biggest indus
tries in the country seek out Negro
engineers and other technical men
from Negro schools as avidly as
they seek graduates of the best
known technical schools in the
country. With these Negroes oc-
cupying top spots in industry with
out regard to their color, they must
necessarily move about with men
who occupy similar positions, and
certainly deal with them on an
equal basis. This being true, how
could anyone say that they were
mot ready?"
Mr.. Montague will have to re-
think his position, or come up with
new theory. Even the worst BIZ
gots don't believe the Negro isn't
ready.

NEW YORK (GlobaD - Some
months ago, a staggering, loquaci-
GUS Britisher named Ashley Monta-
que made a speech at a private ele-
noentary school here in New York
which caused quite stir. Monta
que is an Anthropologist, and just
why that makes him an authority
on human relations is not quite
clear. True, the findings of An
thropologists have helped to knock
some of the silly Nordic ideas of
racial superiority into a cooked
hat; but the scientistsi usually a
person who sticks to facts and
though he may hint a to the socio-
logical aspects of his findings, he
usually is too wise to go too far
into another field to expound at
length on the implications of his
findings.
But not Mr.. Montague. He ap-
pears to have been spurred on by
an increasingly human relations
minded American public, and sti-
Dnulated by the desire to corner
some of the gravy in the lucrative
lecture circuit. So he has taken to
the lecture platform and he seems
to have met with fair success here
and there. The only difficulty
seems to bet hat Mr.. Montague has
failed to investigate thoroughly the
American scene before expressing
bis theories which are supposed to
be based upon workable solutions"
to the race problem.
1t was reported that in his speech
Montague started out by giving
scientific proof of racial equality,
exploding the myth of racial su-
periority. After having laid such
groundwork, he then proceeded to
launch into a discussion as to the
sociological aspects of integration,
saying that such thing would be
4 long time coming in America. He
went even further. He said Negroes
were not quite ready for it, and
when asked if he thought Negroes
were mot ready" to be freed from
slavery when they were, he an
sWered in the. affirmative. He
came out against interracial hous-
ing, schooling, and marriage Zone
issue he should have left strictly
alone). He is. reported to have said
that he had never known of a sue
cessful inter-racial marriage, and
there is the key to the whole situa-
lion. There seems to be a lot things
Mfr. Montague has never heard of.
Despite his years of teaching at
Rutgers University, Mr.. Montague
apparently never got around to
getting acquainted with American
life generally. True. there are

Vocal Talents of 8 GIee Clubs
Revealed in Joint Spring Sing

young men who form the
Augmented Eight injected a
popular note with the several
gay unprogrammed songs they
sang. Their easy. clever delivery
pleased so nightly that there
was danger, for a moment, that
the program would be stopped.
It remained for the National
Press Club Chorus, however, to
achieve a special bond with the
audience with the singing of
1.-The Bells of st. Mary's" Ed
mund D. Northup, who has taken
over the dictatorship of the
group, asked the audience to
join in and soon the lovely and
familiar melody resounded in
volume through the hall. The
chorus presentation of Franck's

showing the rich vocal quality
of the singers to advantage.

The National Press Club
Chorus sponsored for the third
time a Spring Sing by joint glee
clubs of the city, this years
event being held in McDonough
Gymnasium of Georgetown Uni
versity last night. This is a re-
markable record for a group busy
daily with the manifold duties
of newspaper coverage. To its
achievements as a choral group,
the Press Club has encouraged
the coming together each sea-
son of these mems singing Or
ganizationS and, in a measure,
to vie with each other in the
presentation of examples of
their years endeavorS. The
Spring Sing has now it's estab-
iShed audience that applauded
impartially last night the fine
program given.
Two hundred or more men
from eight glee clubs combined
in the singing of opening and
closing numbers, each club ap-
pearing separately during the
program in selections under it's
own leader. The vocal calibre
and the interpretive ability of
these groups were of a high
order and the performance was
marked by finish and artistry.
With the exception of three
university glee clubs and the
group of young men known as
The Augmented Eight, the other
clubs were composed of older
men from the business world.
Among these was the Baltimore
81 Ohio Glee Club, which is
SO frequently a visitor here as to
be considered as a part of the
local activity.
Under the direction of DIR.

ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY
WEAVER SAYS

Sometime ago a woman show
ed up to file her claim for bene-
fits because of. the death Of her
husband. 1t was quite evident that
she was "infanticipating" as Wal
ter Wincheu would say, so she
was told about benefits for child
rem. When asked about the pos
sible "date" she said she guessed
it would be October" and a
Gallup" was made in our diary
file. She was told to be sure and
come in to file for the child as
early as possible after its ar
rival.
October came and no visit. No
vember came and still no claim.
December passed still without
any word, so in January we wrote
her a reminder to come in. In re-
ply we received a postcard sign
ed by her reading, "T'warn't n"
child-just gas" Now that brings
me to the crux of my story for
this week. Posthumous children.
A refined looking young widow
came in a couple of weeks ago
who was also "infanticipating !"
She had filed her claim when her
husband had died last January
and at the time did not know she
was "that way" so we had not
discussed any such matter with
her. AS the time approached she
of course, became more and more
concerned over finances, costs
etc., and fortunately for her.
came to see us.
The point I want to get across
to all of you is that poSthumous
children children born within 9
months from the fathers danice\
are just as eligible for Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance monthly
benefits as those living at the
time of his death. In the case cit
ed above the widow had receiv-
ed lump-Sum settlement of
$231.20 because OF her claim filed
last January. In July, when the
child was born, she again filed
her claim for monthly benefits for
her claim for monthly benefits
for herself and minor child. Be-
ginning with July we started
paying her for herself and child
$115.80 monthly.
Let's see - $115.8O monthly
for Is years comes to $25,012 pro-
vided neither she nor the child
marry or work for wages in ex-
cess of SIS month. Not bad, eh?
