BY LOU LuToUR

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)-It
is not enough to change your nail
polish every week. The nails
should be completely overhauled-
properly filed, cuticles trimmed
and some attention paid to the
ideal. Never allow the nails to
grow too long, as this is not taste
full and neither practical nor
fashionable. Watch the color of
your polish to see that it always
matches your skin tone and COM
plementS the costume you happen
to be wearing at the time. Mani
cure routine may, be little in
convenient, but for those who wish
their hands to make a good i'm
preston, there is no alternative.

even though separated, develop
similarly.
Still another possibility is that
the slow one received some type
of injury or has a mental block.
If she has been rejected in some
way. her slowneSs may be her
buffer. From your letter, the in
dications point toward letting the
girl go to a different school. The
course of study. etc. will be diff
ferent; there will be little to
compare between the two girls
and it will allow her to be an in
diVidual.
You asked why the people did
not adopt these girls. Maybe they
could not afford it. Many states
pay for the care of foster children,
you know.

THE FAMILY
ROUNDTABLE
BY EIaiVa Ball
NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)-
Dear Miss Ball:
BY EIgiva Ball

Dear Miss Ball:
Some neighborS of ours have
raised twin girls since they were
three. The mother left them at the
nursery school and never called
for them. These neighbors took
the children in and have kept
them all these years. The girls are
well hammered and always neat
and nicely dressed. Don't you
think it would have been easier
to adopt the girls? One twin is
in high school, the other in junior
high. She was left back. Another
thing is that the slow one is
plump and more attractive. What
would be the reason for this
difference, if they are really
twins? The slow one is now re-
fusing to attend the same high
school her sister attends. Should
she he forced to do so?
Ava-Atlanta
Dear ava.
This is an interesting and COM
pHcated affair, to say the least.
Shall we begin by asking if the
girls are actually twins. In order
to get rid of both children, the
mother may have advanced the
age of the younger. It might be
well to check the vital statistics
records if the true family name
is known. Another thought is that
there may be twins in the sense
that they were born at the same
time, but they may actually be
two single conceptions. This would
account for the difference in build,
disposition, ability etc. Studies
have proven that identical twins,

How To Win Friends And

The subject of this piece-HOW TO WIN FRIENDS
AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE - is rough guess at the
title of book by Dale Carnegie, of them other
fellows whose books of various kinds of advice have
been taken to heart by the great of terate and
intelligent American people,
one OF the great struggles of present day Ameri-
can diplomats is to win the confidence and friendship
and thus be able to influence the choice of the people
OF Asia, Africa and South America, and the Islands
OF the Seas the colored people of the world, Black
Brown, Yellow, and Mixed who formed the great bulk
OF the worlds population in the world shaking contest
between communism and democracy.
According to the latest appraisal midas Prime
Minister Nehru, the acknowledged leader of the great
bulk of the coored world still regarded as being on the
side of democracy and America, is actually becoming
more and more anti-American.
Those who are in position to know regard the
American attitude towards the worlds race and color
problem as being chiefly responsible for the growing
anti-Americanism of India's Prime Minister
From over in the Union of South Africa, blatant
citadel of White Supremacy and hate comes the
news that Negro sailors in the American Navy were
forced to submit to the South African Segregation laws
before being allowed shore leave.
1t hardly necessary to mention the effects of that
story American diplomatic efforts undoubted-
~ is being told to Coored People around the world by
the agents of Communism.
We would hesitate to question the knowledge of
naval warfare of the Navy Commanders in South African
waters but seriously doubt they have read any of
those books, even thought much about How to Win

WE WORSHIP IN THE HOUSE
OF WOR SHIP, CHRIST'S
CHURCH is IN OUR HEARTS.
Birds of a feather, flock together
When their feathers are just the
same
They all go up the same roost pole
Yet they are different in their
name.
Every bird when he goes to the
top of the roost
Knows the limb he belongs on
A guinea pig won't get on a tur-
keys limb
For he knows that is not his home.
That large live oak tree is the
fowls home
Every breed of fowl has his limb
And he knows the limb to get on
Like David's tree by its water rim.
The rim of the river is the bank
you see
Giving life to the green leaves
The big live oak gives them all a
limb
SO you see every bird of a feather
is pleased.
Don't take the roost pole down
today
Some fowls can't fly so high
So let them go up the roost pole
He is going to his limb passing by.
Jesus came to redeem this world
From a disease of sin his blood he
shed
Hung on the Cross with nails in
his hands
Until they said that he was dead.
He said these words to one and all
Ye must be born again
Born of the spirit of the living God
And cleansed of all of our sins.
Jesus said, 1--WE must love We one
another"
If Heaven we were expecting our
home
Segregation won't settle the
trouble
It takes the love of God at it alone.
We have too many houses of wor-
ship
And not enough of the Church of
Christ
Gods Church must be in the hearts
of the people
For US to get peace in this life.
So leave the roost pole up against
the tree
Because the fox stays on the
ground
Every fowl knows his limb on the
tree
Like the fox, he knows the hound.

Measures OF Last Resort

The depth of lake is best measured at it's deepest

est The adjustment of Americans to the Supreme
Court decision against racial segregation in the public
schools can be gagged by watching the where op
position to the change is strongest.
Deep South legislatures meeting And at the
November election people voted propositions as we'll
on candidates. Georgia, South Carolina Mississippi
and Louisiana have amended their constitutions not
to adapt to the Supreme Court decision but to facilitate
evadlng it. These moves, however, must be examined
in the light of perspective Several facets of considerable
Significance show up:
By large majority the people of these states OPP
pose indignation of the in the practicable
future But the mnorties who apparently want to work
things OUT are by no means nconsiderabe.
These constitutional amendments were put forward
by their proponents only of last resort-o
be used only judicial DEGREES and nterracia under
standings should not allow the time and the degree of
local autonomy wanted Some of this time could be won
1t is admitted by the chain of litigation which these
amendments might set in motion.
So far can be ascertained at the moment these
measures permissive, not compulsive. They would
permit the state local communities to adopt substitutes
for outright desegregation They would outlaw ne-
grafton where the people voted to accept it.
10 what extent these substitutes would stand under
constitutional challenge would create other serious
problems Tor the states concerned may prove academic
questions The ultimate implementng DEGREES of the
Supreme Court and of federal district courts may soften
many OF the problems of time and local conditions
