cop GETS THE COURSE
OF the SEVEN cROWSI'

Indio, Calf. (ANP) - Patrol
man C. L. Evans is more or less
accustomed to complaints and
threats from disgruntled motorists,
given tickets by him for various
infractions of traffic laws. But,
last week he got one that topped
them all.
It was a postcard, signed "z",
which stated: you must be proud
of giving tickets - especially to
people who can't afford them.
Therefore, I invoke the curse of
the seven crows upon you and your
family"

"l2 Monfhs-And Six
Cuts With A Camel"

Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia
CAMP - A native African pris-
oner, known only as Stanley, re-
ceived a stiff court sentence here
last week. Stanley was convicted
of stealing a number of articles
from a local store, and after his
conviction the loot was stored in
the exhibits room of the Magis-
trate's Court.
But Stanley made a big mistake
Police said that while he was out
on bail, he broke into the court
room and set fire to all the evid-
ence! Stanley was detected and
low in spirits when he heard the
magistrate pronounce sentence: ~
months in gaol GaiD and six cuts
with a cane!

dismayed that America cared to
initiate so widely.
We excel, however, in "mod-
ern." Although the Scandinavian
wave has had a great influence,
American designers have some
truly inventive pieces. These are
mostly accepted by the young.
Even bedding has a modern"
look. One of our percale sheet
designs, Northern Lights, was
photographed at Georg Jensen
and seemed beautifully Eat home"
in Danish design surroundings.
Probably the new preference
for elegance" is a reaction to
the more austere modern designs.
Nothing could be more feminine
than a French provincial bed
room. Sheets now have deep turn
back hens, as much as eighteen
inches of floral border. The IA
vorite Bridal Rose will be avail
able in this style in time for
Christmas.
Women who champion early
American and Colonial bedrooms
will find sheets and go-together
blankets in these styles, too. Two
particularly charming patterns
are Antique Rose, a sampler de-
sign, and Star Patchwork, which
has a quilted look: a shower of
multi-pastel stars on white.
A pretty bed is a great contrib
utor to sweet dreams.

telling them what Maize had
done.
For several weeks Maizie was
urged to come out to her friends
homes and different ones talked
with her but finally one couple
went to Maizie's home and talked
with her and her husband. They
told Maize she was too nice a
person to go on until one day she
would find herself behind bars.
They told her she needed to see
a pysychiatrist. At first she and
her husband were shocked at the
idea but soon they were convinced
that she needed help and so the
next day she was taken to see the
doctor.
She said she would take the
money without realizing it and
then she was too ashamed to tell
it. They have paid back every dol
lar she took from her friends.
None of them hold it against her
except Bessie. She still feels like
Maize should be put in her place
and she doesn't think that place is
in her friends homes, but the ma
jority rules.
Friends in Sandstone have prov
en- their true friendship for Maize.
They have proven the adage, to
have friends, you must first be
friendly. Maize really m e
friends and did all she could to
prove her friendship and now when
she needs friends, they are stand
ing by her.
Bessie's heart is melting. She
told a friend the other day, "you
can't just give up a good friend
overnight, can you? -"
Others are still taking sides, for
and against. But her friends are
practicing the Golden Rule.

Maize is one Of those rare
women who have a lovely, kind,
disposition. She came to the small
town of Sandstone, a bride. From
the first time the group" met
her until today, many years later,
she won a place in their hearts by
her sunny disposition.
She is and has never been too
busy to help cheer up a shut-in.
If she could not do a good
deed every day she felt that day
lost. She has always been so kind
and thoughtful of others. She will
go out of her way to see that a
lonely person gets home. Her car
is always full because she looks
to see that every one has a way
to get home before she pulls out,
She is always a willing worker
if any of her clubs or her church
club needs held. Her ready smile
is contagious and she has a group
around her wherever she goes.
Then, after many years, out of
a clear sky, the whispering cam
paign started. First, a group, on
a short shopping trip, stayed over
night in a hotel and one of them
missed some money from her
purse. Only a few knew about this.
Later, (several months) during a
rehearsal for a style show, two
Of the models said money had been
taken from their purses. No one
knew who took the money but
after that friends watched their
pocket books.
A year later, when the incidents
had been all but forgotten a friend
called several of the group to tell
them that Maizie had taken near
ly $50 from her purse. No one had
been in her house that morning
except Maizie and after Maize
had gone she discovered the loss
when she opened her purse to pay
her milkman's bill.
She told the group that she
called Maize at once and told her
about the money. Maize said she
knew nothing about it but when
Bessie told her she was going to
have an FB.I. agent come out
Maize told her she would be over.
She gave Bessie the money but
still said she didn't take it,
Bessie was so angry she told
her she was going to tell all of
their friends about her and she
really did!
The strangest thing happened!
All of their friends asked Bessie to
stop telling it because they all
loved Maize and they said they
wanted to see what they could do
for her.
Bessie kept on calling friends,

Smokers Claimed To
Have Higher Number
Of Heart Attacks

Chicago (ANP) - A statistical
association between heavy cigar
cite smoking and the occurrence
of coronary heart disease was re-
ported in September Journal of
the American Medical Association.
However, Drs. David M. Spain
and Daniel ]. Nathan, Brooklyn,
NY, authors of the Journal re-
port, said whether this statistical
association indicates a causal re-
lationship to the development of
hardening of the coronary AFTER
les remains an open question"
Their findings were drawn from
a study of 5000 men of similar
cultural background who were
longtime residents of the New
York metropolitan area. The study
took into account such factors as
occupational physical activity,
cholesterol level, blood pressure,
weight, and body type.
The subjects were divided into
five groups - those who never
smoked, those who smoked less
than 40 cigarettes per day, those
who smoked more than 40 cigar
cites per day, those who smoked
cigars and or pipes, and those who
had stopped smoking cigarettes.
There was no significant diff
ference in the distribution of men
with and without coronary heart
disease among the five classified
tons except among those who
smoked more than 40 cigarettes a
day, the two researchers reported
Drs. Spain and Nathan also re-
ported that they found a higher
incidence of heart attacks among
heavy smokers than among men
smoking less than 40 cigarettes a
day. Of 33 heavy smokers with
coronary heart disease, 81 per cent
suffered heart attacks whereas
only 81 per cent of the lighter
smokers with coronary heart dis
ease had heart attacks.
This finding is Suggestive evid-
ence" that heavy cigarette smok-
ing may favor the precipitation of
a heart attack in persons with I'M

and humanitarian John Charles
Fremont.
Especially, we cannot afford
such waste in the face of a posi-
BILE war with an enemy abroad
he told his audience assembled
here in Mount Carmel Baptist
church.
In joint resolution introduced
recently in Congress by representa-
tive Morris K. Udan of Arizona
(brother of the Secretary Of In
terior), Aug. 4th was officially de-
signated as John c. Fremont -
Sallie Holley Day."
No Greater Woman
mo greater woman was ever
born than Miss Sallie Holley," said
the Rev. c. Townsend Tucker,
president and founder of the Sallie
Holley Memorial Foundation, I'VE
know that the spirit of Sallie Hol-
ley can save the world and that the
American Negro is a distinct eth
mic factor in the evolution of civ
ilization. Through his sacrifices
he has been chosen to bring truth
and understanding throughout the
world"
Miss Holley, a native of Can
andagua, N. Y, born Feb. II, 1918,
was regarded as a great human
itarian and anti-slavery advocate.
With her life devoted to the
elevation of the Negro people, Miss
Holley allied herself with the abol-
itionists and became lone of the
most courageous lecturers of the
Society,"" Thus, 1870,
she and Miss Caroline Putnam, a
lifetime partner and friend, estab-
lished Freedmen's School for Ne
groes at Lottsburg, Va. The in
stitution was later known as the
Holley School There she spent the
remainder of her life, giving vol
unfairly of her services for the
progress of the Negro race.
John Charles Fremont, explorer,
author and humanitarian, was born
in Savannah, Ga.
Fremont entered Charleston IS.
c. college in 1928, and there re-
manned with intervals of teaching
until 1881. He later returned and
was given his degree.
First COP Presidential Candidate
He distinguished himself as a
politican\ by being the first Re-
publican candidate to run for the
presidency. Supreme among his ac-
complishments was the proclama-
ton of Aug. 80, 1861. The pro-
clamation declared 1.-The property
of Missourians in rebellion confis-
Gated and their slaves emancipat-
ed"
Although this act met with ap-
proval by the liberal northerners,
the Lincoln administration regard
ed it as premature. When Fremont
refused to withdraw the act, Lin
coin was relieved of his post as
major general in the Civil War.
