Gently carried an interesting
article about the inclusion of
the word "ain't" in the new
Merriam Webster dictionary.
Now" reads the editorial,
"Webster's gives it new re-
spectability. Amt there any
thing we can do? Must we now
pretend that we thought all
along it was quite correct and
even expressive to end every
other statement with amt it
or 'ainna'?"
Does this new respecta-

be used in speech and o +
writing?-Mrs. Clara Jaeger

it has been used in the re-

heeled shoes, dresses that were
not as short or tight as she could
wear them and they told her with
her face she would look really
young and pretty if she would
only fix" herself up. She tried
out her new look" on this Sun
day in question and she thought
she looked fine. She could have
looked better if she had worn
shoes with an average heel. The
high heels made her so weary that
she showed it in her face and the
way she walked made people turn
around and look twice. She really
thought she looked nice until she
got glimpse of herself in a mir
ror, after church was out.
She was one of many women
who do not have the knack of
making themselves look years
younger by dressing simply, hav-
ing their hair styled to suit their
faces and by putting on a little
makeup. I do not think any wom-
an wants to look old and dowdy
but don't go to the other extreme
and make yourself look too young
for your years. Strike a happy
medium.
Age is really a state of mind
and as one grows older he or she
should know that this is the time
to win the respect and the ad-
miration of relatives and friends.
They like you as you are. Improve
yourself in every way you can but
above all, be your age.
Age is no disgrace, wear it well

which is due to open in Dakar,

statement from it's national bur-
eau, issued by the Senegalese
Press Agency. The statement was
issued specifically in reply to crit
icism raised by Ghana and Guinea
trade union leaders. 1t called at
tention to Senegalls role as OBJ
server in the recent Casablanca
trade union conference, thus prov
ing the desire of Senegals workers
to play a responsible role in AZ
rican labor problems.
The statement also pointed out
that the Senegalese deputation had
received firm instructions to leave
any decision as to membership of
any Pan-African Trade Union Fed
Grafton which might be formed to
the UGTS nation bureau. The
statement concluded: The UGTS
has decided to work for the unity
of the labor forces in Africa, but
does not think that this unity can
be improvised, nor realized in a

AS TANGANYIKA approaches
independence with relative calm,
problems of diplomatic relations
and the maintenance of an ex-

discussed.
Tankanyikans are moving eau
tiously in the matter of diplomatic
relations for two reasons. First,
the country is poor and all avail
able funds are needed for internal
development and the few educated
worldly Tanganyikans who might
make good diplomats abroad are
needed just as badly at home.
The other reason is that the
country does not particularly want
a lot of foreign missions, partic-
ularly from Communist countries.
1t was expressed in a recent ma
tional assembly debate on foreign
relations that such missions
might be full of spies and other
agents"

St. Paul recorder., 1961-07-21

uIcSSeS lIldI Will make you lOOk
younger, until you turn around!
Often when you see a youthfully
dressed lady walking down the
street you admire her. And you
admire her. And you really admire
her more when you get a close
up Of her and find she is as old
as she really is.
She has not gone overheard nor
tried to dress like a teen-ager
when she is all of fifty or sixty
but she has chosen her outfit with
an eye to beauty and youthful
lines. And she has not put on a
false face" trying to cover up
her years. She has makeup on
but it is just enough to take the
shine" off her face.
She really is to be admired. She
is trying to live gracefully and be
dignified. She also wants her fam
lily to be a little proud of her and
not be ashamed to be seen with
her.
There is little Mrs. Ethel Smith
down the street She is about fifty
years old and tries so hard to
look twenty that it is pitiful. One
day not long ago she came tip
ping" down the street to church
and as I watched her I wondered
what was the trouble until she
got close to me and I could see
she was trying" to walk on a pair
of stills. You know those tiny
little heels like your young daugh-
ters wear.
AS she came closer to me /
thought was going to have to
reach out and help her if she
walked one more step! Trying to
keep from smiling 1 asked what
she thought she was doing coming
to church on those stills! She
looked as though it was an effort
for her to lean against the railing
as she said, II didn't think I was
going to make it here and I had
about decided to take off these
shoes and walk back home in my
stocking feet! I am just about
dead and I can't walk another step.
If l go in church 1 will have to
take off my shoes and leave them
under my pew and know 1 can't
walk another step 50 what am l
going to do?"
She decided to stay for church,
sit in the back of the church with
her shoes off and wait for a ride
home.
She had on a dress so short and
so tight it was awful to look at
She had dyed her hair copper col
ored and the mascara on her lashes
had run down on her face and
her make up was all spotted. She
really was a mess to behold.
This was not the real Ethel
Smith but she had recently re-
turned from a trip and they, her
friends, had told her she was toe
young a woman to be wearing low
