In my opinion Rutledge should have at least been named on the Honor Roll The Virginia Union Panthers, mythical 1939 Negro national bas ketball champs, will face the fam ed Brooklyn College Kingsmen, a white team on New York’s Gold tn Gate Court on Dec. 27. Dolly King, Negro basketballer of Lonig Island W., will captain his white mates this season. L. !• W. won their first game defeating Oregon W. 43-31. The Savoy Big Fivef Negro pro team of Chicago, defeated the Tol edo Easleys 28-25-Tbe Big Five boys were led by Hudson and Cumberland, each who scored 12 points. Jake Powell, outfielder of the N. York Yankees, whose slur on the Negro race caused sufeh a con troversy 2 years ago, has been “sold down the river" to the San Francisco Seals. Powell has been booed whenever he played after making his weird statement. Wiltyerforce and Morris Brown will play on New Year’s Day at Birmingham in the Steel Bow). This game will settle the Negro national championship. —®— Jeo Louis defeated A1 McCoy in five rounds of a scheduled 15 rounds fight. Louis will defend his title again in March at Kansas City.

BEflUTy-RomflncE» The larieuse Beauty Bureau was established by the f Godefroy Manufacturing Company to study methods of preserving women's natural beauty, and to make the results of this research available to the public. What is your trump card In the game of romance? It’s your femininity! And you should never forget that fnct. Be a pal. Be a companion. Be a help mate. But remember that first, last and always you are a woman, and that man expects a woman to be feminine. I sometimes think that grand mother was much wiser than today's modern girl. She never made the mistake of making herself cheap. No lnd could come and whistle her out of the house and have her grate fully follow him. He had to show her the courtesy of coming to her door, lint In hand. Grandma also had a shrewd knowledge that man docs not crave the over-ripe fruit that Is ready to drop into ids mouth. It Is the peach that hangs highest on the tree—that Is the hardest to get. So she saved her kisses for the man to whom she gnve her heart and who had tiled a bona-llde pro posal of marriage with her father. Nor did she feel that she had to pay for being treated to a 15-eeut soda. And grandma stayed married . . . while one out of six of her grand daughters visits the divorce court! Beauty Means Romance I think grandma was wise enough to study the man she hoped to marry . . . and to study the man she did marry. And sin- was wise enough to continue to be romantic after marriage. Strangely enough, it Is grandma today who is clean and starched, neat and bright whenever HER man Is around. That's one reason why lie's continued to be HER man throughout the years. How often we see younger women, careless la their appear ance, careless In their dress. Care less In their Use of cosmetics. And every young man worth having knows thnt If the young woman hasn’t learned how to care for her self, any cosmetologist or hair dresser will be glad to take a few minutes time and tell the young woman what procedure and what cosmetics are best for her. Another Tip from Grandma Grandma Is also careful with her hair. She brushes It. She tints It to avoid any drabness or discolora tion. She washes It carefully, and regularly. She’s careful to be neat and clean all over . . . not just In outward appearance. Let's pause a bit In the coolness of the Fall months to take another look at grandma. The Fall of the year rivals the Spring of the year for beauty and romance. And grandma, in the fall of her own life, can tell granddaughter, In the spring of her life, whut to do and how to do It. Beauty means romance . . . and romance means greater beauty In life! IVhat are your beauty prob lems? Write: Marie Downing, Larieuse Beauty Bureau, 3809 Lindell Bird., St. Louis, Mo., and she will be glad to answer them. Be sure to enclose a self addressed, stamped envelope. VALUE OF UNIONISM SHOWN IN CASE OF RED CAP WHO IS FIRED AFTER CALLEJD ‘'NIG GER” HY DRUNKEN SOUTH ERNER by Frank R. Crosswaith (General Org. ILGWU. and Chair man, Negro Labor Comm-) New York, (C) Once more the value of trade union organization to Negro workers has been amply demonstrated, in a most dramatic way. The United Transport Servicl,' Employees Union ,the Red Cap's organization has fought and won the case of Ben Ransaw who had worked for ten years as a Red Cap in Grand Central Station. One day last summer Ransaw was car. Tying the bags of an elderly Ne gro passenger who was sick, and who wanted and needed a cab to take him home. As the Red Cap was placing the passenger’s bag, two white men coming behind him probably Southerners and certain ly drunk, began cursing and swear ing at him. They called, him a ‘‘damned nigger” and demanded that he and the passenger for whom he called the cab, give up the cab to them although they were clearly behind him in the line of people seeking cahs. Ransaw defended the Negro pas senger’s right to the cab success fully, and the cab drove off; but the twtot drunken white “gentle men” attempted to strike Ransaw and in the melee which resulted he shoved one of them. They de manded that the mater be taken up with th«| station master- To this Ransaw agreed expecting con 1 TOYS i ^ SEE OUR IMMENSE g SELECTION— S VAN AVERY SPORTING g GOODS CO. 8 N —1512 HARNEY— g, m - Merry Xmas Happy New Year ONE HORSE STORE W.

To his surprise, he was dis charged on the demand of the two men who had abused him. But this did not end the story. For some time Negroes in this line of work in New York and else where have been quietly organiz ing into an effective trade union. The Union carried Ransaw’s case to the higest officials of the Rail road but without satisfaction. The case was taken by the union be_ fore the Railroad Labor Adjust ment Board which has been creat ed for the Railroad industry. As soon as this was done, the Railway management sought from the un ion another hearing on the matter The management wanted to rein state Ransaw in his job and thus settle the affair- But the union demanded reinstatement with full seniority rights, removal of any blot on Ransaw’s record as an em ployee and full back pay for the time since the discharge and the unemployment compensation wdiich he had drawn irieanwhile. On this basis with full reinstate ment on his job and with all of his rights, the case was settled. SHREVEPORT REALTORS OBJECT TO LOW COST HOUSING FOR NEGROES Shreveport, La. Dec. IS (ANP) After a bitter fight put up by the real estate dealers of the city, the city council voted to ask for a mil lion dollar loan from the federal authority for constructing a low cost housing unit for clearing a slum district in the colored section of the town. While the realtors debated the matter before the city council and brought anin vestment company official from Oklahoma City to speak in their behalf, they were finally overridden and an emerg ency ordinance was passed author iznig that an immediate applicat ion for the loan he made to the USHA. The Saddo Taxpayers associat ion and Shreveport Real Estate board published and distributed a booklet in which they gave reas ons why a low cost unit should not be built, saying that Negroes of the city would not be able to live in one of the houses because the rent would be prohibitive. The booklet went further on to say that the hiuses which now rent for $5 a month ‘ are as good as they need.” 't was the professional opinion of J. Wilson Swann of Oklahoma C cy, that the living conditions a niong Negroes in the town were as good as they needed to be. K« ecntinuously referred to the Col umbus, O' Negro project, saying that “the houses that were tom town to build this project were nice 2_story frame houses, about 40 years old, once occupied by whites. From four to six famil ies Mved in them paying $7 or $8 each per month, and they were as good as they ought to have.” MRS. PARKER RE-ELECTED BY NEGRO ORPHAN HOME New York (C)—For the 27th time, Mrs. Williard Parker was e lected President of the Colored Orphaned Asylum and Association for the Benefit of Colored Child ren at the Institution, 104th an nual meeting. She has been a trustee for 46 years. Describing homeless Negro children as “American refugees’’, Mrs. Parker said there were “50 colored youngsters in temporary shelters with no families to care for them and no place to go. They have been referred to us at the Colored Orphan Ajsylum, but we already are using more than a dollar a week a child, more than our income( for everyone of the 650 children now under our care."
