GOVERNORS DISAPPOINT IN
STAND ON CIVIL RIGHTS

Honolulu (ANP) - Governors of
the so states of the United States,
wound up their 53rd annual con-
ference last week with a disap-
pointing vote on civil rights.
In the closing session, the gov
errors bowed to the pressure of
minority southern views by approx
ing a civil rights resolution so
drastically circumscribed that it
contained no mention whatsoever
of racial discrimination. The wat
ered-down version was one of sew
eral approved by the governors,
after having been rephrased to
eliminate all controversial features.
The 54th conference of the gov
errors will be held at Hershey,
Pa, under the craftsmanship Of
Gov. Wesley Powell (R.) of New
Hampshire.
A strong resolution sponsored by
Minnesota governor Elmer L. An
dersen was watered down greatly.

Has buying necessities" kept you
from affording certain "luxuries !"
If so, here are some thoughts which
might help you-
Many so-called "luxuries" are as
important as necessities" A vaca-
ton or a trip with the family is
possibly as necessary" as a new
televiSion set.
Temporary cutting Of the budg-
ct for "necessities" may permit you
to enjoy some of the "luxuries" you
have been wanting.
Make a list of necessities"
which you can wait for" and use
the money saved to finance a lux
ury." For example, you might de-
eide to make your car do another
year.
Make a list of "luxuries" you
wish you could afford and compare
it with your list of necessities"
Maybe you can then decide which
is really more important.
Spending for those %uxurics"
may, in the long run, produce yalu-
able happiness and family fun
more than the same amount
spent for things you thought you
needed"

troll of their affairs from former

Awolowo, who leads the Action
Group party which controls Wes-
tern Nigerian, government said
his main concern during his At
rican tour was to canvass support
for the new organization.
He expressed regret that the
African states had divided into the
Casablanca and Monrovia blocs.
He called the Monrovia meeting
"a conference of states many of
which are not really free" OF the
Casablanca states, he said: Those
are the radical leaders of Africa;
I do not agree with everything they
say but agree with their attitude
on neocolonialism."
Meanwhile, the National COun-
Gil of Nigeria and the CamerOOns

AwOlowO had failed to show why
Nigeria should join the Ghana-
Guinea-Mali union. The NCNC
was commenting on a statement
attributed to AwOlOwO that Nj
geria should join such a union.
The NCNC, said Nigeria was al
ready "a union of various tribes
and ethnic groups with different
languages, cultural and tradition.
Reafirming its belief in Pan
Africanism, the NCNC said: 1--WE
believe in setting our homes in
order before plunging into the big
task of achieving a union of AT
rican states.
Nigerian Information Minister
T. o. S. Benson announced the gov
ernment's decision to decline join
ing the Ghana- Guinea Mali union.
He said such a political union now
would not be expedient and reem-
phasized Nigeria's policy of non
alignment.

For Happy Summer

Many social and civic activi-
ties slow down during the
summer. Why not you?
Hair Do
Either cut your hair shorter
or upSweep it for warm
weather. Many women have
entirely different hairdos in
winter and in summer.
When you are going to be
outdoors for long periods,
wear a sun hat. This will pro-
tect your hair from extreme
drying.
Swim a lot this summer.

Here are a few suggestions
which I hope will make your
summer more pleasant and
return you to fall in good
condition.
Don't stay too long in the
sun at first. Tan gradually.
This will not only take care
of your complexion but add
comfort. A bad sunburn on a
two-week vacation can spoil
the fun.
Don't be a vacation ath-
lete." Perhaps you have been
sitting behind a desk most
of the year. Why, then, think
that you can climb Mount
Washington or take four mile
walks without sore muscles
and even danger to your
life?
Home Vacation
If you are not going any
place, then take a vacation at
home. Use paper napkins and
paper towels. Forget your
standards as a housekeeper
for a short while and get the
baby sitter in more often
than you usually do.
If you live where it is hot.
take a siesta each day after
lunch. Learn from your sisters
who live in the tropics. Pull
the blinds down and turn on
the fan or air-conditioning.
Live at a slower pace.
Do any shopping you must
do early in the morning be-

notified passengers had to wait
three hours until the money
arrived by wire from the home
office.
The animals completed the
trip in fine spirits and with
good appetite. The Zoo has
installed them in the Ele-
plant House, next door to an
older female giraffe, where
things will be pretty dull for
the trio until the arrival of
a male DR.. Reed has ordered
for next spring.
One Died
Margaret and Myrt left
Africa with a male but he
didn't survive the trip. Gil
raffes apparently are no diff
ferent from humans when it
comes to that canard about
the females being the weaker
sex.
There are five species of
giraffe, all native to Africa.
The two newcomers belong to
the Baringo species. sometimes
called Fig-Leaf CRATES be-
cause of their markings. They
can look forward to about 20
years of life and may grow
to be about 20 feet tall if
they take to their diet of hay
and grain with an occasional
stalk of celery.
CRATES are not voiceless, as
many people believe. They can
whimper and they can whistle
to their young. They also can
go as long without a drink as
camels, but they can't swim and
don't even wade.
