vice on other matters, such as
the cut Of a morning coat or
the color Of a sports coat.
Looking as suave and devas-
tating as usual in brown
tweeds. the veteran film star
twirled his mustache, quirked
an eyebrow, waved away a
group Of attentive walters
lowering over the luncheon
table, and said:
Excellent Taste
MY wife has excellent taste.
She is just as particular about
my clothes as I am-and Just
as critical. I may say that I
also am particular and critical
about her clothes. It works
very well. Keeps US both on

them so.

to be found on the management

Participation of Jews is most

Most of these are self-employed
occupations and, therefore, not

regard to Jewish participation in
economic life, the Cornell study of

from which Jews are excluded

there is a conveyance of local

Mrs. Whitaker, Officer NSDAR At
Recent Session AT Pen+aeon

When members of the National
Board of Management of the
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton in session in Washington d.
c. last week, got briefing from
four of the Nations top leaders
at the Pentagon, Mrs. Ralph Oral
Whitaker, North Main Street, in
her capacity as a National Vice
President General, was in atten-
dance. After the excitement of that
experience, the National Board
members entertained the women
members of Congress at dinner.
In telling of the meeting, a re-
lease in Washington paper, had
this to say:
THE meeting at the Pentagon
was the first for the board, reveal
ed Miss Gertrude Caraway of New
Bern, NC, president general of
the National Society, OAR, who
presided at two-day meeting.
"Details of the new Armed For
ces National Reserve Plan were
explained to the group by the AS
sistant Secretary of Defense for
Manpower and Personnel, Carter
L. Burgess; the Army Chief of
Staff, Gen. Charles L. Bolte; Chief
of Naval Operations, Admiral
Robert B. Carney, and the Air
Force Vice Chief of Staff, Gen.
Thomas D. White.
Mr.. Burgess said the objective
OF the reserve plan is to maintain
effective reserve forces at requir-
ed size and composition and in
the necessary state of readiness,
without reducing the combat eff
fectiveness of the active forces.
Gen. Bolte described the
Arrnys manpower and material
situation as in good shape but
also observed that reduction in
force would necessarily mean cut
ting down the number of person
mel stationed in parts of the world
where this country has commit
ments.
Admiral Carney outlined the
difficulty of getting and keeping
capable personnel under present
economic conditions and suggested
that Congress passage of a high
er military pay bill might be an
inducement to service careers.
Following the briefing, the so
board members were guests at a
luncheon served in the General
Officers dining-room.
'"The board honored eight of the
women members of Congress at a
dinner at the Mayflower Hotel,
during it's stay in the Nations
capital, including, Representata-
tives Cecil Harden of Indiana and
Katherine st. George of New
York, both members of the OAR;
Representatives Ruth Thompson,

Q. What is the best way to apply
cake makeup?
A. Using very wet sponge; or
cotton pad, leave only thin film
over your laugh wrinkles, but a
thicker coating over any blemish
or eye circles. After covering face

moisture with face tissues, wait a
few minutes, then press on face
powder of the same shade as the
cake makeup.
@. What is a good treatment for
white heads on my skin?
"A. You can try applying thick
paste of fuller's earth and Witcl
hazel, and then wrap some gauze
over the face to keep this in place.
After awhile, wash off with cool,
then cold, water.
@. Please suggest good rem

NEW YORK, CGlobaD - We
here record our wishes for some
of our sports friends and their
fans for 1855:
For Jimmy Slade we wish few
even matches, with enough space
in between for sufficient recuper-
alton and rejuvenation.
For Jackie Robinson, a nice
managerial job so he can trade in
his bruises for ulcers.
For Willie Mays, another season
like 1854, if that's possible.
For J. C. Caroline, a straight A
scholastic average to match his
top-flight performance on the
gridiron.
For Pee Wee Reese, one more
great season on the playing field
before he takes over the Manager
ship of the Dodgers.
F'or the New York Yankees, a
little courage to abandon their
Jim Grow policies and bring FL
son Howard into Yankee Stadium
In fact, we wish the same for all
of the Major League ball clubs, SO
thta those who do not now have
Negroes on their rosters will snap
up few good ones and make
baseball the truly American past
time.
For Leo Durocher-nothing. He's
got everything.
For all of our readers, a truly
wonderful 1855.
