ership will be needed in the Dis

ing segregation in schools, the

and Teachers was told yesterday.

ers' luncheon, Mrs. Eugene
Meyer, wife of the chairman OF
the board of the Washington
Post and Times Herald, said no
group could be more effective in
guarding the period of transition
with tact and generosity than
the local PTAs.
While the greatest problem in
the Southern States would be
lack of classroom space if the
high court ruled against segrega-
tion. Mrs. Meyer advised. the big
problem in Washington would
be a question Of wise and under
standing leadership.
Even with sufficient number
of schools, the friendly solution
of problems arising during the

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.
May 13.-The United Nations
Security Council met yesterday
to debate the Israel-Jordan
border troubles but stalled i'm
mediately on a procedural ques-
tion and adjourned after %
minutes.
The debate was to have been
on four Israeli complaints
against Jordan and a Lebanese
complaint against Israel filed on
behalf of Jordan, which is not
a U. N. member.
The question was whether the
11-nation Council. before invit-
ing Jordan to take part. should
require that she state her &C
ceptance of its authority over
the dispute, which she would
have to accept if she were a
member.
Henri Hoppenot of France

policy, "lshe pointed out.
Mrs. Meyer said studies of
population distribution and
schools would allow the integra-
ton of Negro children into the
whole school system to proceed
along definite and orderly lines.
She asserted that most South
ern States will need immediate
help for construction Of addi-
tional schools, if the Supreme
Court puts an end to segrega-
ton.
1.-The situation between the
two races might become tense,
she said, "if Negro and white
children are forced to compete
for a place in the limited num-
ber of schools now reserved ex-
clusively for white children.
IF our highest court is re-
sponsible for creating this diff
cult situation, surely the Federal
Government should accept, as a
moral responsibility, the duty OF
helping to solve these difficulties
by expanding the number OF
available clasSrooms."
The congress will close its
three-day meeting with a ban
quet at 6 pm. today in the Sher-

"Our
Growing Edge"
MRS. MARTHA GLoTFELTY


HUSBAND ana best TlfHu
On several occasions during the
past few years, | have been asked
to speak before teen-age groups
in our schools have always ac-
copied with pleasure for there is
nothing | enjoy more than the en-
thusiasm and lively outlook of our
young people. Always they were
most attentive and courteous and
am sure received as much from
them as | gave to them.
One of the subjects was asked
To speak about was marriage On
two occasions, the audience was
made up entirely of girls, who
were choosing marriage as then
life's career. Frankly, they were
looking forward to it, and were
anxious to learn more about it.
And why not? Does it not seem
that our failure in marriage de
notes serious weakness some
where along the way? How little
even we adults know about this
most important human relation
ship.
Knowing how inadequate was
my own knowledge of the subject,
! made my notes with special care,
getting them from the best pos
Sible sources, so | would not pass
on any misleading ideas.
There was ane story | always
told because it represents one of
my own basic beliefs on the sub
ject. 1t was a stGy Of middle
aged English woman who was deS-
cribing her husband to another
woman. Suddenly She said, why
if he We're not my husband, he
would be my very best friend. =
told that story for it empha-
sized a point wanted them to get.
! wanted them to see that friend
ship is a very important part of
love and is the cement that holds
marriage together | wanted
them to see that sharing together
common interests, working toward
common goals, being friends in the
best sense of the word, were an
essential part of marriage. 1t
would be this, as the years went
by that would make their marriage
a growing and happy experience.
Neither one either possessing or
dominating the other, but friends,
growing and working together.
1t seems was more nearly
right than ever dreamed. Re-
Gently a magazine on family liv
ing turned up some very interest
ing facts on this very thing. Five
hundred thousand women in all
walks of life were interviewed and
that is what they liked most about
their husbands, being friends with
them. The day-by-day type of
friendship rated higher with them
than any other thing, including
money.
The ones who said they were the
happiest were those who shared
their husbands interests, ideals
and goals. The husband also had
respect for their likes and hobbies.
They enjoyed small talk about
everyday happenings, and had fun
together. They said it made their
marriage a satisfying and growing
experience for both of them.
think | would have liked to
meet the husband of the English
lady. | am sure he would be inter-
esting.
Like her, l think the best hus-
band is also the best friend. In my
opinion. it is one of the acid tests
of a good marriage. Is your hus-
band also your best friend ?

WHIRLWINDS

While winter is still some
months away, last winter is
fresh in my memory. For it was
then that decided to buy
boat. don't know how you
would go about such an
expenditure, but this is what
did. went through several
magazines, clipped all the ads
for boats and boat kits. was
still thinking in terms of
building one for myself. Well, |
compared them all; steel, wood,
square, round, flat, etc. Then
talked to boat people, owners,
builders, sellers.
The first thing | learned-and
fast-was not to try those kits.
They are fine for craftsmen,
not for left-handed amateurs.
They take more time and skill
than the ads mention. ! asked
the ones who had made them.
The final result was the boat
that didn't need a lot Of up
keep. One that was already
built and also economical to
buy I'll gladly send you the
results of my Investigation.
Drop me a card.
