NEW YORK, (GlobaD-We are
now ready to continue our trip
with Miss Layle Lane, well known
school teacher and social crusader,
whose findings on her world tour
deserve attention:
Public education in the Near
East and in India is so inadequate
as to make the shortage of teach
ers and classrooms in the United
Sites seem almost unimportant. In
Lebanon, education is largely in
private hands, with anyone who
can read and interpret the Koran
(the book which is the counter
part of our Bible) considered a
likely schoolnaster. Somewhat less
than fifty per cent of the children
attend even these meager centers
of learning. Women have only re-
Gently been encouraged to seek an
education, and that encouragement
is not very pronounced even now.
The bright spot in the Lebanon pic
ture is the American University, at
which a first-rate education can be
secured, and at which teachers are
trained. This will, in time, raise the
standard throughout the country.
The situation in lebanon is
pretty much duplicated throughout
the Near East. Miss Lane finds
that the influence of religion on
education in Moslem countries, has
not been constructive on the whole.

FROM where | SIT

In India, the situation is somewhat
better nthe whole. The British
made a lasting contribution during
their stay there. The Nehru gov
ernment is an enlightened one.
Three general truths should be
borne in mind: The first is that
there are exceptions to the rules
stated above. The second, is that
everywhere there is popular de-
mand for increased educational
opportunity. The third is that this
part of the world is poor. More aid
from the United States through the
Point Four Program, will raise liv-
ing standards, and therefore, edu-
cational standards.

Joint Income Tax
Returns Are Easier

Did you know that if you were
married in 1854, even on New
Years Eve, you and your partner
in marriage are considered married
the full year for income tax pur-
poses? That's right. The Internal
Revenue Service says so. But wait.
Here is another interesting angle:
If you were divorced, even on the
last day of the year, you cannot
file joint return.
Joint income tax returns can be
filed only by husbands and wives.
A widowed mother and her daugh-
ter can not file a joint return.
Neither can two sisters, even if
their income is from the same
source. By the same rule, father
and son cannot file joint return,
although they may be jointly in
business.
Z Why do husbands and wives file
joint returns? One reason is that
it is easier in most cases than
filing separate returns, because
separate returns require a division
of the itemized deductions if such
deductions are taken.
Another reason for filing a joint
return is that a husband and wife
can sometimes save on their taxes.
The filing of a joint return auto
matically brings their tax compu-
tation down. to the lowest possible
bracket, which is one-half Of their
combined total income
What added responsibilities go
with filing a joint return? Perhaps
the greatest is the requirement
that either or both of the persons
may be held liable for the payment
of whatever tax is due. Thus, if
the couple should separate, wheth-
er divorced or not, eac hwould still
have the responsibility of seeing
that thet ak was fully paid, but
not paid twice. And this, of course,
would apply to any additional tax
later found to be due.

estimate the value of mass meet
ings, picketing, petitions, leaflets
and boycott. These are elementary
and dramatic; they are clear-cut
and easily understandable. But, ac-
tually, they have served their use
fulness and to employ them at this
stage of the game is to run the risk
of hurting. our cause. Our approach
now should be on a more intelleG1
tual level.
What brings this to mind is the
current campaign afoot to get
more Negroes on television net
work shows. Certain groups have
been urging the public to black out
their TV sets at a given period, in
an effort to call attention to this
drive. So, we are asked to forego
our favorite television program
while making a futile gesture. A
closer analysis would show that the
only real value in the blackout
would be in its advance publicity
the calling attention to the fSNt
that 100000 Negroes in the metro
politan area of New York were be-
ing urged to participate in the
blackout. The blackout itself would
never turn the trick.

Meut Is Fuvorite
OF Most Men Cooks

The field of cooking is being in
vaded by men. For some, it's a
hobby-perhapS result of the do
it-yourself craze. For others, it is
a share-the-homeWork project with
the wife who works. Nevertheless,
men are proving that they can hold
their own with women in the culi-
nary arts.
Meat is herman food, and may
be that is why it is favorite of
male cooks. The interest often
starts with outdoor grilling and
progresses to the brOiler in the
kitchen range. Here are some tips
for the men from Reba Stages,
meat experts, on how to broil lamb
chops perfectly.
Select lamb rib, loin or shoulder
chops cut 1 or 2 inches thick. Set
the regulator to broil and place
the chops on the brOiler rack. In
sert the broiler pan so the top of
1-inch chops is inches from the
heat and 2-inch chops is 3 inches
from the heat. When one side is
Drowned, season with salt and pep
per. Then turn them and let them
finish cooking on the second side.
Season the second side Serve the
lamb chops Immediately while they
are piping hot. Chops cut 1 inch
thick require 10 to II minutes
cooking time; those cut 2 inches
thick require 20 to 22 minutes.

Q. How can eXterminate
reaches?
A. Use one part of borax to
three parts of finely pulverized
chocolate. Sprinkle freely about
the places infested by the reaches.
Q. How can prevent soggy fruit
pie crustS?
A. Moisten the edges of the
crustS with a little milk and press
down tight. Two or three small
pieces of macaroni should then be
inserted in the center of the pie.
The juice of the fruit will bubble
in the macaroni sticks and not sat-
urate the crust.

Notes From
Bermuda
By GERALD A. BRANGMAN

HAMILTON, Bermuda, (GlobaD
The rainy spell that has been
shovering over Bermuda for the
past few months, made it neceS-
sary for the fUst fight of the sea-
son at King Stadium, to be post
poned. But it was re-scheduled for
February %, and the customers
saw a real bout between Yova Kid
of Cuba and Herman Harris of
America. Harris seemed to have
the edge early in the fight as he
lnded a blow that injured the Kids
eye. But the Yova Kid didn't take
long to come back and he won the
ten-round decision, giving him the
honor of becoming the light
heavyweight champion of Bermu-
da. Thine Kid is very happy over
his success, as this was his first
fight here.
The Socratic Club celebrating its
18th Anniversary, held a celebra-
ton meeting with Winton Will
liams, principal of The Sandy's
secondary school as guest speaker.
Mr.. Williams spoke on the cultural
background of the Negro, discuss
ing the long and commendable his
tory of the race Mr.. and Mrs.
Eldon Wilkinson, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hargrave, Griffin, all from New
Jersey, have had an enjoyable
stay in Bermuda, and have also had
little sunshine. For Mr.. Wilkin-
son, it was actually a homecom-
ing, since he was born here, but
was taken to the States when he
was quite young.
The Bermuda Beauticians Asso-
citation, one of the youngest or
ganizations here, under tbs dynamic
president, Mrs. Maude Jackson,
staged an exciting Ball and Parade
of Hair Styles at the Clay House
Inn last week. There were many
beautiful hair styles displayed, and
the whole affair was an outstand-
ing success in every detail :. Rev.
and Mrs. c.. Mayes, leaders Of the
Church of God in Hamilton, have
launched a Crusade For Christ,
starting off at their headquarters.
They came to the Church at a
time when it was at stand-still,
and they have accomplished a
great deal. They now have a full
program, and most encouraging of
all, the young people in the church
are joining hands in great num-
bers. Congratulations to these two
fine leaders who are filling such
great need in our vicinity.

When the two years were up, Attorney
General Brownell prevailed on him to

Answering Khrushchev

Through the fortnight statement
put out at the temporary White House
in Key West, President Eisenhower has
made clear to the world that the United
States-despite Nikita Khrushchevs OBJ
jections-intends to keep on working for
the peaceful liberation" of the Soviet
dominated satellite lands. He has also
made clear, in blunt and emphatic way.
that such liberation will continue to be
"a major goal" of American foreign
policy until success is achieved" In
other words, whether they like it or not,
the men of the Kremlin have been served
notice that our country will never engage
in conspiracy Of silence that would seem
to give consent to their liberty destroying
colonialism-a policy that has wiped out
the independence of the Baltic states and
imposed puppet Red tyrannies on Poland,
Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania,
Czechoslovakia and East Germany.
In reaffirming this position, the
White House has given fitting answer
to the Khrushchev attack on the Eisen-
hover Dulles Christmas messages to the
captive peoples behind the Iron Curtain.
Speaking as boss of the Soviet Communist
Party, Mr. Khrushc new has aSsailed those
messages as passion-inciting documents
violating the so-called Geneva spirit"
and he has accused the President OF
"crude interference" in the internal
affairs of the satellite states. But the
Key West statement has brushed all that
aside with the telling reminder that Mr..
Eisenhower has repeatedly emphasized
before, during and after the July SUM-
nit" conference-our country's firm
commitment to the policy of peaceful
liberation" And now the policy has been
emphasized once again as course that
the United States is determined to follow
in behalf of the oppressed and in keeping
with our most basic American traditions.
Displeasing as it may be to them, the men
of the Kremlin will just have to put up
with it, for it is about as dxed and as
permanent and as right as anything can
be In the flux of international affairs.

Stop This Slaughter!

Suppose the clock could be turned
back and the American people were faced
today with the threat of having to fight
all over again the Revolutionary War, the
War Of 1872, the Mexican War and the
Spanish War Would we march
blithely ahead into such an ordeal? Ger
tainly not. We would prevent 1t If We
could. For in those four wars, spanning
an aggregate period of IA years, the COM
bined total o. Americans killed In battle
was 8,789
Yet, in this single year now ending,
$500 Americans were slaughtered In
traffic accidents on oug streets and
highways.
Let's not go back so far. Let's turn
back only to June of 1880 The Korean
War lies Just ahead. Would we be cal
lousy Indifferent to that bloody prospect?
Yet our Korean death toll over three
narrowing years was 5000 less than the
carnage on the highways in 1855.
And so it goes. In the Civil War and
In World War the fatality rate was about
equal to our traffic slaughter. Only
World War II, the most terrible and the
bloodiest of all wars, claimed it's victims
at a greater, though not markedly
greater, rate.
Surely, if it lay within our power to
do so, we would move heaven and earth
to avoid a re-enactment of that horror.
Can nothing effective be done to restrain
the Grim Reaper that roams our high
ways? The life ST Qffed out in head-on
collision is not less precious than TIE life
lost on battlefield. Why do We devote
such large part of our national effort to
guarding against the one, while doing
so little to prevent the other? This
senseless slaughter on the highways can
be stopped, or at least materially reduced,
If all of us will only make up our minds
to do it. How many more lives must be
forfeited before we make the decision?

erous slice of her Negev terri
tory to Egypt, which doesn't
need it. And, after all. it is
nothing but desert. and hardly

Excellent! A brilliant solu-

case-that of the island Of
Cyprus, which is not a desert,
and is populated by large num-
