CHAIR
LOU LuTOuR

New York - (Global) Be
careful never to apply rouge too
heavily. The key is naturalneSs.
If your facets oval, Let the rouge
follow the natural cheek area,
blending along the edges so that
II fades unnoticeably into the I'M
roughed area. To make a broad
face appear narrower, rouge
should be applied close to the
nose. Generous use OF eye make
up will help give slender make
believe look. For the long, slim
face, there is a trick, too. Apply
the rouge away from the most in
broad strokes, blending it lightly
toward the nose. If the face is
mature, apply rouge high, blend
ing it uo and out. Never let it fall
below the edge of the nostrils
and never rouge the wringleS.
Use a little oil on eyelids to give
the beam of youth.

First Steps Taken To Comply
With Supreme Court Order

NEW YORK - Action to Inn
plement the United States Su-
preme Court school desegregation
order of May 81 has been initiated
in various Southern communities,
reports received at NAACP head
quarters here indicate.
Three days after the ruling had
been handed own, the NAACP
branch in Atlanta presented Pc
tition to the local school board
asking that it stake immediate
steps to re-organize the public
schools under its jurisdiction in
accordance with the constitution
al principles enunciated by the
Supreme Court" The petition was
filed by 9 parents in behalf of 10
pupils who seek admission to
previously all-White schools.
The Atlanta move preceded by
day southwide emergency con-
ference called in that city on June
4 by the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People. Attending the conference
were Roy Wilkins, executive Sec
rotary, Thurgood Marshall, special
counsel, and other NAACP staff
members, and so NAACP state
officials from 16 southern states
and the District of Columbia.
ACTION PROGRAM

ton program calling upon
branches throughout the region to
file petitions with their local
school boards at once, to develop
programs of public information on
the meaning of the courts de-
cisionS, to organize parents in
their respective communities so
that they may be familiar with
the procedure when and if law
suits are begun in behalf of
plaintiffs and parents" TO seek
the support of other groups with
in the community, and to prepare
for a law suit should the local
school board refuse to take steps
towards deSegregation by the
time school opens in September,

Following the Atlanta confer
ence. the Mississippi State Board
of NAACP branches met in jack

luton instructing its constitu-
ent units "to petition local school
boards to take immediate steps to
reorganize the public schools on
a non-diScriminatory basis in
compliance with the May 81 rul-
ing of the United States Supreme
Court"

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

MODERN TOUCH: Mai. Bowes,
Greater of radios Amateur Hour,
was the managing director of a
movie company during the early
days of silent pictures.
One time the company was
filming a picture about the Rev.
dictionary War. To shoot the
big scene, the Battle of Lexing-
ton, the cast and crew were sent
to a Long Island town. There.
on a lonely road, the bloody en-
gagement was faithfully re-
enacted.
The following morning, Bowes
and the producer were watching
the rushes. Suddenly Bowes
groaned.
What is it?" asked the pro-
Queer. Whats wrong?"
THE Battle of Lexington was
fought in ITS, wasn't it?"
"Of course, of course" said the
producer impatiently. What
of it?"
Il was just wondering" unused

plain those telephone poles on

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

And this shall be a sign unto
you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes,
lying In a manger.
Luke 2:l2
The English word manger is
from the French mangeoire, "a
trough for feeding domestic ami
mails" Mangeoire stems In the
French verb manger, ito eat. "
pronounced: NAH (n) SHAY, (n)
denoting the French nasal sound.
It is interesting to note that
the English noun. manger, feed
trough" and the French verb
manger, ito eat" have the same
spelling but different meanings
and recommendations. The trans
formation of the French man
geoire into the English noun gave
our language a lovely word with
out which the Christmas story
would lose some of its poetic
beauty. Try substituting the
harsh Anglo-Saxon feed trough
for manger in these familiar
verses from the second chapter
of Luke:
And she brought forth her
firstborn son. and wrapped him
In swaddling clothes. and laid
him in a manger; because
there was no room for them in
the inn. Luke 81
And they came with haste,
and found Mary, and Joseph.
and the babe lying in a
manger. Luke Els
Manager was. indeed a happy
choice.

whats this? what's this?"
grumbled Santa. You're toe
late. My pack is already
loaded"
"It is only my present to the
world" said Cluny. IT made II
at night in my room-all by
myself"
Santa took the little figure
from her hands. It was a beau
tiful angel with butterfly wings
and a robe Of purest while. In
her hand the angel held a small
magic wand.
1t is the Angel of Peace" ex-
planned Cluny.
why. Clunyl" said Santa
This is better than all the other
gifts put together. I'll see that
your angel waves her wand for
one day at least over every home
in the land"
And he picked up Cluny and
gave her big whisker-tickly kiss
on her cheek. Then he picked up
his long whip again and cracked
1t sharply In the frosty air."
"Ho. no, no. here we go!" he
roared. "Ho, no, no! Here we
go!"
The eight reindeer leaped for
ward and the big sled began
sliding through the snow. Faster,
faster, faster-and then they
were of the ground and into the
air.
Santa was on his way. And
tonight, If you go to bed, he will
come to your house, wherever
you are.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police
sent Santa this message:
I'VE are clearing all air lanes
in your path. old boy. There is
mo speed limit for you tonight.
The sky Is yours. Go as fast as
you like. Good luck!"
And Santa needed that wide,
clear road in the sky. For his
big red sled was piled so high
with gifts 1t overlooked. 1t
looked like a flying hayrack as
1t raced through the crisp. cold
air.
Donder Has His Joke
ooh, dear. oh. dear" worried
Santa. just before the takeoff
IT do hope none Of these presents
fall out and bean some poor in
nocent rabbit down below. ] be-
lieve this must be the heaviest
load I've had in 20 years"
What Is he fretting about?"
whispered Donder to Vixen
Hes only riding in that sled.
We have to pull it."
Vixen laughed so hard the
bells on his harness tinkled in
merry music. And all the other
reindeer laughed, too.
AS Santa Claus climbed up
into the seat Of the sled. putting
"a little because he has gained
some weight this winter, three
black-and-white penguins wad-
died across the snow in front OF
the reindeer.
Here, here, get out of the
way, please" said Santa Claus
Importantly. Then he said, sur
prised:
why what are you penguins
doing up at the North Pole any
way? You're supposed to be at
the South Pole"
Penguins on Vacation
"We're on a vacation" said
one of the penguins. We're
looking for Florida. Have you
seen it anywhere?"
Climb aboard, climb aboard"
doomed Santa. "I'll drop you
off there. But I must say this is
the first time I ever picked up
three hitchhikers wearing tux
edoes."
Just then Mrs. Santa Claus
came running out waving a long
piece Of paper.
you almost forgot your list
of good children" she said.
Never mind" said Santa, II
don't need 1t. This year / am
going to give a present to every
little boy ano girl, good or bad.
The bad ones will feel sorry then,
because they know they don't de-
serve a nice present. TIN make
'em try harder to be good next
year."
THAT isn't according to
Hoyle," said Mrs. Claus. who likes
to play bridge. But 1t does make
sense. you old softie."
Santa stood up to crack his
whip in the air--the signal to be
off. But then he heard q small
voice crying:
