THE SITUATION is somewhat
analogous to Kenya's, except that
in Sierra Leone it Is the coastal
area, around Freetown, which is
the Colony, and the hinterland
which is the Protectorate. The Set
tiers Descendants are people of
mixed blood who fear they will
suffer under the rule of the hinter-
land tribes. The union first object
ed to the merger in 1858 in a petit
ton to the Queen. Now they ask
for the case to be heard before
April 27, the proposed date for in
dependence.
Two other items slated for Sier-
ra Leone's Independence program
are the comforting of honorary de-
grees of Doctor of Civil Law upon
the Duke of Kent, the Queens rep

brations, and Prime Minister Sir
Milton Margai on April 2S; and the
approving motion giving children

To qualify for this gift, the child

are always wheelbarrows. Some
times a certain amount of. work
will be left by the manager that
has to be delivered at a certain
time. Those assigned to take care
of that particular job will finish
a little earlier and then you can
look at the wheelbarrows. Jane c.
will look through the files and see
if she can correct any errors there.
Helen NJ. will take this spare time
to check over her assignments for
the next day and others will find
odd jobs to check over and work
on but Mollie V.-she says, you
creeps can work all of this spare
time you want to, but I am going
to do my nails while I have a
chance" Susan p. decided to use
the time to catch up on a story
she had started on her lunch hour.
So, sooner than he was expected
back, in came the boss. AS he
walked past the outer office he
saw nail polish all over the paper
on Mollies desk and Susan didn't
quite get her magazine in her desk
drawer. He spoke to all of them
and kept on going toward his own
office. He never mentioned the in
cident and it was thought to have
been forgotten, but when slack
times came Mollie and Susan were
asked to work shorter hours until
business picked up.
Molie was quite indignant and
decided to quit. She left the office
in a huff and slammed the door
after her.
Two months later she came to
the office, asked the boss for a
chance to take her job back on the
whole or half day scale. He told
her the Job was filled and that the
girls had been working full days
for a month. He had no place for
her then, but he said she could be
the extra girl if she would like
that. Having found no job of any
kind she accepted the job as extra
and whenever she worked in any
absent girls place she really had
learned how to take care of a good
job. When she saw that something
needed to be done she was the
first one to offer to take care of it.
She had to learn the hard way to
appreciate something you already
have, but she did learn it and when
one of the girls left to be married
Mollie was given her job and she
really takes care of it.
1t pays every man to be a live

far less chance of being stepped

Have you reached the place where
you are eager to do more than is
required? Here is where an educa-
tion begins. Until one develops a
healthy curiosity that draws the
interests beyond the line of require
ment, there is no use calling one
self a student.
Blessed is that person, younger
or older, who has eyes to see what
is to be done, willing to undertake
it, and initiative to get going. You
don't have to be in a wheelbarrow.

Kennedy Hits Al
Lily White Stotus
Of PHOTOGRAPHERS

Washington (ANP) - President
Kennedy let it be known last week
that he expects every group con-
nected with White House activities
to operate on desegregated basis.
This policy was brought to light
at his press conference when he
was informed by a reporter that
the White House Photographers
Association will not admit Negro
members.
do you, Mr.. President, think
that any group connected with the
White House should segregate its
membership" the reporter asked.
mo, 1 Don't" President Replies
mo, I don't, was the Presi-
dents straight forward reply. Ap-
pearing a bit shocked at this re-
velation, Kennedy paused a NOM
ent then added that any group
attached to the White House
should accept accredited persons.
If this is brought to their atten-
ton he hopes they will do some
thing about it.
The question was brought up be-
cause of a fight which has been
quietly carried on for three years
by Ellsworth Davis, photographer
with Johnson publications, for
membership in the association.
Davis is an accredited White House
photographer as well as a member
of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives Press Galleries.
Two Denied Membership
Maurice Sorrell of the Afro
American Newspapers and Sepia
Magazine is also an accredited
White House photographer. Both
photographers attend the Presi-
dents press conferences regularly.
Still they are not accepted as men,
bers Of the photographers associa-
ton.
Those who know how Kennedy
feels about segregation have ex-
pressed belief that some action
will soon be taken in the direction
of wiping racial bias from the
longtime "lily-white" photograph
ers association at the White
House.

The Mood Strikes
Lody Painters
BY VIVIAN BROWN
AP Newsfsotures Writer

The ladies have risen to
the paint bucket - house
paint, that is.
1t is not a startling scene
these days to see the women
folk plastering walls or even
on a ladder painting the
exterior of the house.
Women have become more
home fashion conscious and
they want to change their
color schemes when the
mood strikes. Equipped with
a color wheel from a paint
shop or art store, they can
choose a hue that may give
q room that desirable new
look.
If a room is very large, the
aim is to make 1t cozy and
more intimate. Darker colors
will do that as they absorb
light and make the area
seem smaller. Light colors
reflect more light and make
areas seem larger. They are
best for small rooms.
Painting woodwork the
same color as the walls can
add spaciouSness to a room.
If the room is large it will
look more decorative with
woodwork painted a different
color from walls.
A low ceiling may be made
to look higher If it is painted
a pale color or white. A
color deeper than the walls

Right Tools Help
All objectives are accom-
plished more easily today
with the proper equipment
and quick-drying paints.
The selection of paint
brushes and rollers. depends
on the job to be done A
window isn't painted with a
flat wall brush, any more
than the wall could be
painted with a brush meant
for trim.
A disposable mixing bucket
and gloves are good aids to
the project. Ditto a paint
paddle, essential for mixing
paint. Masking tape protects
hardware and window panes,
so there isn't a colossal
cleanup project later. Tur-
pentine and paint thinner
are important to have at
hand. Drop cloths and news
papers may be spread around
for the protection of all
areas adjacent to the paint
ing surface.
If one dresses comfortably
for the painting spree, the
job may be done with fewer
restrictions. Flat soles should
be worn for climbing q lad
der. Hair must be covered,
and a woman who doesn't
like wearing gloves because
they impede her painting
progress can protect her
hands with one of the spe-
cially prepared creams or
lotions.
Choose Paint for Job
Flat paint, either alkyd or
latex is best for walls and
ceilings as it reflects light
evenly without glare. Enamel
is best for woodwork, trim
and furniture. These areas
are handled often so need q
durable paint like enamel, q
good choice too for kitchen
and bathroom walls.
Most women find 1t is
better to paint when children
are at school and animals
are outdoors. Don't invite the
children in on the act to
keep them happy as one
mother did.
