IN A HURRY?

~ - AAOAS@NA
Last week two young women
were exchanging small talk about
their work, and of course, during
the talk, they mentioned a few
things that did not please them.
Amy N. was saying, Can you
imagine any boss being so stingy
with money that he doesn't have
to earn, telling us, his office staff,
that when we go on our coffee
breaks that we must let him know
when we are leaving and when we
get backw
Betty Lou raised up out Of her
seat and in no uncertain words
said, yes, I can! My boss is a
woman and she makes us tell her
each time we leave the room where
we are going and why!" Now, I
ask you, what is the world coming
to when we can't even go to the
powder room without having to
report? 1t just burns all Of us up
and we sure wish Miss H. was
back again. She was not like that
at all. When she was here we could
go out Of the building on our cof-
fee breaks and we used to go to
that cute little cafe across the
street and enjoy hearing a record
or two played, and some Of us used
to meet in the lounge and smoke
a cigaret.
Amy asked Betty Lou II she had
to ask for all OF the stationary
she used for writing her personal
letters? Betty Lou said they did
not get time to do any writing or
the job anymore with her new
boss. He is always shopping
around to see that we are busy
when on the big boss time.
Amy and Betty Lou did moi
know the reason they had new
bosses was because their former
bosses were too young for the re-
sponsibihty that goes with super
vising several employees. Amy's
supervisor was a very brilliant Of
flee girl. She did her work well and
she never wasted time when or
the job, but when she was made
the supervisor her former co-work-
ers took advantage Of her youth
and took over. When the girls
did not finish an important job
when it was due, Helen, (super)
would tell them to go on, she
would finish it and have it on the
boss desk for him when he came
to work.
Soon her work began to show
the strain she was under and she
was denoted. She was given an
office by herself where she could
work like she did before her prom
otion.
Betty LOUIS boss was a little
strict with his staff and he, too
was denoted. He was strict as to
the amount of work each should
do within an eight hour period, but
he was lax In keeping the men and

5000 Cases Pending:
Long Litigation
To Decide Legality
Of US. Sif.InS


Washington (ANP) - The sit
ms, once so popular, are about
over, but the litigation fingers on.
1t was disclosed last week that
some 5000 sit-in cases are before
various courts, including the us.
Supreme Court. The cases involve
both Negro and white demonstrat-
ors, most of them students.
Most of the sit-in demonstrators
have been convicted in state courts
and have appealed the convictions.
A few of the demonstrators have
chosen to pay their fines or serve
their sentences without appealing.
The sit-in demonstrators have
been largely students. They are
appealing to test whether the
states can legally fine or send
them to Jail for their protests
against racial segregation, mostly
at lunch counters.
OF the 5000 cases, seven have
been argued before the Supreme
Court. The seven involve the con-
victions Of Al Negroes and three
whites. In another IT cases, in
volving the convictions Of $50 Ne
groes and one white, the high court
has yet to act on their petitions to
be heard. It is believed the Su-
preme Court is withholding a de-
cision on whether to hear the IT
cases until it has disposed of the
first seven.
All of the sit-in cases involve
difficult legal issues, such as the
constitutionality Of a state using
its police power to help a private
storekeeper maintain segregation.
Because of the involvement Of all
these legal issues, it is believed
the court battles over the sit-ins
will be waged over a prolonged
period.
The students, however, feel they
have a personal stake in the legal
battle.
Sit-in demonstrations relating to
the 5000 cases started in Green's
boro, NC, in 1860. But the first
mass sit downs at jim crow lunch
counters occurred in 1858. They
were staged by the Youth Council
Of the NAACP.
Edgar Brown First SIt-Iner
The first sit-down demonstration
in recent years, however, was
staged by the late Edgar G. Brown,
president Of the National Negro
Council. A belhcose civil rights
fighter, Brown has been tabled
The Daddy Of the Sitdowns."
He staged his sit-down demon
stration in 1941 in the then spark
ling new Washington National Air
port restaurant. When a white wal
tress told him the airport restaur-
ant did not serve Negroes, Brown
refused to leave. He pulled out a
book and began to read, thus
launching the first modern lunch
counter sit-in. Later, he filed a
$4,000 lawsuit against the Civil
Aeronautics Authority, the opera
tor Of the cafe, the US. Depart
ment Of Commerce, and, because
he wasn't sure whether the airport
was In Washington or the state Of
Virginia, he sued both.
Brown wasn't the first sit down.
er, however. That distinction be-
longs to a fiery Boston editor and
scholar, Monroe Trotter, who In
the 1s2Vs would plump down in a
BARRIERS chair or anywhere and
adamantly remain until he was
served.

Mrs. Charles ]. Moore is In
a critical condition at her home
on Pine Street, Laurel. She had
been suffering from stomach
trouble for several weeks, but
her condition was not thought
particularly serious until FRI
day whena consultation was held

was decided TO operate as a
last possible resort to save
the woman's life, her pulse reg

weakened condition of the heart

This was used. The operation,
which was successful, disclosed
an appendix eight inches long
and almost as large as an in
fant's head. The doctors say
they never saw or heard of any
such condition before.

In a decision given in Cen
eral sessions Court at George
town on Wednesday, Judge
Pennewill and associates up-
held the consumuonality of the
Webb-Kenyon law was brought
about by the delivery of TWO
quarts of whiskey from the
wholesale house of Tony Key
ser, of Philadelphia, to their
agent. William Grier, to Hair
vey ]. Conoway. Former At
torney General Herbert H. Ward
and former Judge Daniel o.
Hastings, of Wilmington, were
employed to defend Grier, and
at the last term of court ar
gued In what is known as a case
stated attacking the consit-
nationality of the law. Decision
was withheld until this term.
Now that the court has upheld
the law, an appeal will be taken
to the Supreme Court of the
United States. Much interest
was shown In the decision and
an eager crowd thronged the old
Sussex County Court house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Ford,
living three miles from Town
send are convinced that mis-
fortunes do not come singly.
While their son, Edward, was
playing In the barn, he slid

Orphans Court sale In this

TV Appeal Mode to
st. Croix Citizens for
Blood Bonk Support

An appeal to St. Croix citi-
zens to support the Blood
Bank was made through a tel
evision program last night by
DR.. Melvin Evans, Frank Pc
tersen and Jose Carrero.
The Importance of having
blood available at a moments
notice was pointed out, as
well as the fact, that there is
no substitute for blood.
DR.. Evans pointed out that
all the great surgical feats
which have been accomplish
ed were only possible because
sufficient quantities of blood
was available.
Frank Petersen, Jaycee
chairman Of the Blood Bank
program, introduced Jose Car
zero, prominent Puertorican
citizen of st. Croix, gave a
most informative and persua-
sive appeal in Spanish for
blood bank donors.
