ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY {.
WEAVER SAYS :

was talking with very at
tractive young widow who had
just lost her husband. She was
left with twins less than a year
old. Her husband had been a
salesman making about $500 a
month. They had not yet reach
ed the stage where they could,
they felt, afford to buy home.
AS the children were so very
very young the mother felt that
she couldn't look for work for at
least five or six years at which
time they would be in school. He
had carried only $4,000 of life in
surance and they had saved less
than $500, so she was worried,
and with reason.
You can well imagine her plea
sure when we told her that she
would receive about $195 each
and every month until the twins
became 10 years of age. "Why,"
she said, 1--WE can get along just
fine on that! Of course, I'll have
to find a smaller place with less
rent but, gee, that's wonderful"
1t was the first cheerful bit OF
news she had received.

COTTON PICKING PAYS OFF
FASHION

Smart gals will be picking their
cottons early this spring, II they
wish TO be well dressed In a cool
crisp sort of way. And 1t seems
that the best crop Of high FASH
ion frocks will be found in many
facets Of the fashion field, run
ming the gamut from new cotton
sheers to the polished suitings
favored by the tailored types.
Many stores will bloom with
lovely floral sheeTs, flower-em-
broidered cotton organizes, tone
on-tone embroidered cotton, and
handblocked printed batistes, all
of which will provide a variety
of pickin's for those who would
be cool as the proverbial cucum-
Der.
Bold black on white patterns
in traditional ginghams, Glen
plaid cotton suitings, introducing
a traditional pattern in a nom
traditional fiber. and imported
cotton tweeds with a handwoven
look, will be among the offerings
of the rarer cotton fields.
The, very, very new cotton
chiffon will be really something
to go picking, for they represent
one of the GROWING fabric
achievements of 1856 = the in
PRODUCTION of the finest cotton
made. SO far there are only two
of the chiffonS made - a cotton
chiffon for the women's trade,
and shifting for men. Both are
extremely limited in production,
but are significant of new
height of luxury to come in fash
ion fabrics, and an indication that
picking cotton in the right fields
can be fun and rewarding.

Library Annex. Dedicated
At Ed. Waters College

JACKSONVILLE Edward
Waters College ended a successful
four-day observance of its Goth
Founders Day celebration with
the dedication OF the $50, 900 an
mex to the II. Y. Tookes Library
here this week.
More than SIS, 900 in contribu-
tons were reported to the Rt. Rev.
Carey A. Gibbs, presiding Bishop
of the 18th Episcopal District
and chairman of the Board OF
Management, during the celebra-
ton.
The series of programs under
the supervision of Bishop Gibbs
and President William B. Stewart
was climaDed by a stirring dedi-
catory sermon preached by Bishop
d. Ward Nichols of the First Epis-
copal District.
In preaching from the subject,
"Big Men for a Small World"
Bishop Nichols before a capacity
audience praised the contributions
made by Bishop Gibbs at Edward
Waters and in the 18th Episcopal
District during his administration.
"T knew he could do it, but l
did not know he would do it."
Bishop Nichols told the congre-
ton.
In developing his sermon, Bish-
on Nichols dashed out againSt seq
regation and called upon God to
bless Autherine Lucy of Alabama.
eve need more Lucy'S," the biSh-
up said. "God wants this battle
for full human rights to be fought
and won by you and mel"
Other major speakers, all grad
yates of Edward Waters College
who have found success in varied
fields of endeavor, also stressed
the importance of continued battle
against the evils of racial dis
elimination and prejudice.
At the youth on Parade" pro-
gram, attended by high school
students throughout the city OF
Jacksonville, Benjamin F. Nc
Laurin, International Field organ
izer of the Brotherhood of Sleep
ing Car Porters, a graduate of the
class of 1924, pointed to the need
for intelligent leadership through
out the South.
''The White Citizens Councils
are well organized and prepared
to do battle to the end. The Ne
gro in this area must meet this
challenge. We have reached the
stage in our fight for full citizen
ship where there can be no re-
treat. We must go through with
the fight for equality now, or else
we shall BE- pushed back for many
decades" Mr.. McLaurin stated.
Other speakers who emphasized
similar points were the Rev. Jona-
than DANES, graduate of the Gloss
of 1917, and now pastor of Bethel
AME Church in Indianapolis, Ind.
who delivered the Goth Anniver-
sary address; and the pastor of
Flipper Memorial Chapel, Allan
ia. Rev. Luttrel Long, class OF
1885, who delivered the Jubilee
sermon. Both men are leading cam

The matter bols down to one in which whole segment of
the community is being punished because it refuses to use
the BUSES. Using an example on local basis, II 5 as if a par
ticular merchant or group of merchants had the right to 60
to court to compel the people of this town to buy in parti-
cular stores or shops. The very thought itself is too fantastic
for further comment. Yet, this, in effect, is what is happening
in Montgomery, Alabama.
THERE ARE two other factors which cannot be over
looked. The boycott came about in such a manner and with
such effect that it completely frustrated the city's officials,
and, caught in this dilemma they have resorted to striking
back. Second, while things moved peaceably all along, the
economic power Of the colored population was not even con-
sidered a factor. Now, perhaps for the first time certain ele-
ments of the city have awakened to the realization that the
$4,000 members Of the colored population do have, and will
use their economic power to their advantage.
IN THE MEANTIME people everywhere are praying
that there be no violence and bloodShed, and that through
intelligent, peaceful means the problem will be resolved.
Certainly, there is only one right answer. The question is
whether the method of arriving at that answer will defeat
the ends sought.

Editorial
TENSION IN

H EYES AMI EARS of the entire world are fixed on
Montgomery, Alabama. The reason-the passive, Ghandi-like
resistance Of the colored people Of that city against discrimi-
nation in public transportation.
WHAT all this? What is it leading to? The
first Of these two questions can be answered because its his
tory, the last is yet to come and therefore without answer.
ON DECEMBER l., Mrs. Rosa Parks, a colored seam
stress, boarded a bus in Montgomery on her way to work.
All the seats assigned to Negroes on the bus according to
Alabama law were occupied, and the bus driver allowed her
to sit in the front section (which bus drivers may do also
according to the law. AS more white passengers got on the
bus, the driver asked Mrs. Parks to give up her seat and move
to the rear where she would have to stand for the remainder
Of the trip. This she refused to do.
FIVE DAYS LATER, she was convicted for violating
the States segregation law and fined $l4. She appealed, and
the drama began. Colored citizens refused to ride the busSeS,
using either car pools or walking, At first this was thought
to be unimportant, but the bus companies began to feel the
pinch, and all sorts of haraSSment tactics were used. Finally,
the bus companies had to raise bus fares, and even curtail
many of their runs.
mREE e ago the grand jury Of the city went
into action, and last week 100 coored citizens were indicted
for violating a seldom used 1921 law which forbids organized
boycotts without just cause or legal excuse. The trials are set
for March 10.
H MONTGOMERY situation is attracting national and
world attention. The White House is beSet with letters and
kilograms, and Representative Adam Clayton Powell has call
ed for a nationwide work stoppage for one hour on March Is,
in protest
BUT THERE IS more to the matter than meets the eye.

yolved, the city government seems to have no case whatever.

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

Akron: Are the words "ammu-
milton" and "munition" akin?--
S. c.
Answer: Yes. Munition is a
French loan-word. from the
Latin munro. Ito fortify with
wall" In English, the word is
generally used in the plural. as:
munitions of war" and means
military materials of all kinds.
The word ammunition is real
ly a nonsense word, introduced
into English by some word Jug
gler whose knowledge of French
was meager. Apparently he mis-
took the phrase La mun.tion"
for "L'amunition." causing the
English form to begin with "a,
instead of with m" as in
French
However. ammunition" is
deeply rooted in English by long
usage. and 1t is now an entirely
respectable word despite its ir-
regular origin.
Boulder Do you know the
origin OF the expression wire
pulling "?-B. o.
Answer: The expression is
very old Says DE We're 1872 !.
"Wirepulling is not an American
custom exclusively, as the figure
OF speech is as old as the mario
nettes puppets of Italy and
France. on whose miniature
stage the actors we're set in mo-
ton by wires, which the ex-
hibitors pulled from above. But
'wire-working, as 1t is also
called. has probably reached a
higher degree OF perfection here

for winners and for length in the
enemy's trump suit and for other
factors. But you must also de-
duct points for high cards con-
tanned in long suits because the
longer your suit is the earlier
your opponent will be able to
ruff in.
In today's deal Mr.. Masters
doubled Miss Brash's two-spade
bid for penalties. Using the dy-
manic point count method, he
ignored his Jack of spades but
counted Is points in high cards.
He deduced one point for the
concentration of high cards in
his five-card club suit. which
left him with IA points, or three
and a half tricks for defensive
play. Admittedly this was a
close double. but he considered
several other factors.
His partner had made a
strength-showing bid. He had
singleton heart and as far as he
knew at this stage his side had a
misfit. Misfit hands almost al
ways play better defensively.
And then there was the fact
that Miss BraSh is a constant
overbidder.
Mr.. Dale properly decided not
to stand the double. He had eight
points in high cards, but he had
to deduct one for his excessive
heart length. Another four points
had to come off for holding four
cards in a suit bid by his part
ner. This left him with three
points for defense against a
spade contract and his free bid
of two hearts had promised
more than that. He bid three
clubs and Mr.. Masters went to
five clubs.
Mr.. Abel led the trey of dia-
monds and Miss Blash won with
the ace and shifted to the five of
spades. Mr.. Masters played
low spade and Mr.. Abel put in
the seven to force out the ace.
But Mr.. Masters played low in
dummy and let the seven win.
Now he had the hand made.
If another spade were led he
would win with dummy's ace and
take the rest of the tricks on a
complete crossruff. Thus he
would make every one of his
trumps separately. racking up
nine club tricks and the two ma
Jor suit aces.
On the actual switch to
trump by Mr.. Abel, he cashed his
ace of hearts and got to dummy
often enough with the trump
suit to lead hearts and ruff out
the king The ace of spades
then furnished the necessary
SnJIy 10 the eStaDllSne0 nearJS.
If he had won the first round
Of spades the result would not
have been as pleasant. With
one entry removed from dummy
this early. setting up dummy'sl
hearts and reaching them later
would have been impossible. The
crossruff line Of play would also
have been HOPELESS because be-
fore Mr.. Masters could ruff his
third spade ne would have to let
the enemy in on the second lead
of that suit. Surely they would
have led a trump and the con-
tract would have fallen one trick
short.
