When Friday comes around and the week is done, Lr't's dig the jive and have some fun! SLAM RESIGNS Well, it seems that it has be come our 'sad duty to inform you completely that “Slam” is giving up her position as a columnist; that’s if no one changes their mind up until now. She put up a fair struggle and mashed down cn some good dope. We want to thank her for such a buildup on our part w*hen she so often men shuned us. Indeed we are grate ful. SOME CAN’T TAKE IT. Not that we are trying to put anyone in the dozens or anything like that but it seems that the mo thers now-a-days would much ra ther read a “gosip Kid Column” than a Bible or something more "helpful. Columns are strictly for the cats and chics to read to a muse themselves. Not that we ob ject but on the square, Mothers should not take things that appear in Jive Columns so serious. It is all in fun. THE WRONG ONE We hate to contradict the assist ants of “Girls on the Streets” but Ralph Montgomery better known as Duffy is not the Drag in Six Licks and a Drag. The Drag is a girl. Duffy may be a drag, but in this case, he is lick. If you girls want to know who the Six Licks and a Drag are, ask us, The original Girls On The Streets and we will name all seven of them and then some. We thank you.

GLAD I AM AN AMERICAN I am glad I am American To live among the free To watch the moon and sunshine Which shines down on me. I sang the song of freedom and I hear the birds that sing.

I am glad I am in America. Which is so brave and strong I’ll always love America My Whole life long. —by Jean Montgomery Jello a gain, oops I mean hello again. You fine students, friends and career people. This is what the All Seeing Eyes observed last week and some of the things we saw were really bad tch, tch, tch, We are ashamed of some of you people. But we saw some good things too. BAD OBSERVATIONS We can’t say much for a certain group of immoral cats who con stantly use profanity and vulgar- • ity in their conversations. The cats are boys that insist upon en gating in vulgar conversations. We are shocked at you boys. We hope you improve in your manners MANNERS FOR BOYS 1. If escorting a girl from school, offer to carry her books. 2. Do not walk aw'ay while she is talking to you. 3 Respect girls, do not use pro fanity when in the company of girls. [ 4. Girls spend hours dressing to please you. So it would be good practice to dress neatly for her THIS WEEK: I have chosen to write about a subject I believe is of vital impor tance to all of the young boys and girls: I believe what I have chos en to write about is a subject that could be talked about intelligently. I hope you young people will read the next article and think through what I have endeavored to convey. GIRL AND BOY RELATIONSHIP I believe when a boy and girl think they are really in love, then is the time to consider your rom ance as a happy companionship. The boy and girl should confide in each other. A girl shouldn’t just like a boy for the money he spends on her. She should love him for what he is. A girl shouldn’t just love a boy for just the presents he brings her. She should consider him as a human being, someone to trust, have faith and depend on. A boy and girl should confide in each other. By that I don’t mean to tell each other all of his or her business. But I do mean they should confide in each other or talk over the problems that face them, in this way, they will over come the numerous problems that come the numerous obstacles that confront them. A boy and girl should discuss the problems that come up or the problems they have to meet or solve at school. A boy and girl should discuss the prob lems that face them as they work. Another problem that should be discussed intelligently between the boy and girl is sex relationship and that is of vital importance to all of the young people. If these problems are figured out and dis cussed the boy and girl without a doubt, will receive help and use ful information from each otn3r. I hope you boys and girls now going together and anticipate c rying on your romance will nave little conversations with each oth er about, school work, economics, sex relationship and manenrs. These subjects can be talked a bout over using the best language. Do not stoop to such low levels, and use profane terms in discus cions that might arise between you and the girl friend or you and the boy friend. Success to you little love birds. COMPLAINT Listen kids its OK for us to Jiave our fun, but let’s act dec ently in church. The older people are complaining about the deport ment and your conduct in church. FASHION PARADE: Miss Rozella Thomas wearing a. white blouse, blue skirt and blue jerkin. Sunday she was also wear ing a blue afternoon dress with costume jewelry.

Miss Ophelia Story was seen wearing dark blue dress with white trimmings and net stockings WISH: We wish that some people would learn to take a joke ignore .vhat people say. If you don’t you will be iunning around angry all the time. VAMP We don’t think much of a cer tain chick who is always after an other girls financee. If you can’t get one of your own then don't try and take someone else’s. You are only a young child anyway, but you are coming on wrong when you begin to vamp a boy f**om anoiher girl. We understand you can’t receive a boy at your h)us<' beci’Vfce you are considered too FEATURED ATTRACTION FATS WALLER and his Victor Recording Orchestra, featured at traction on the stage at Harlem’s Apollo Theatre, last week. young, so why sneak and run a'\pr a hoy who goes with another gir>? He is a bigger fool than vou are if he let’s you be with him. If he h id any sense at all he would te.l you that he loves the girl he gees with and that you are considered just a friend as far as he is c in ceired. Re careful because I will be forced to let all the girls know who you are, and I will tell them to tvatch and beware of you bec ause you are a young vamp. I will also print his name and let his girl know what he is doing when her back is turned. So wait until y.-u get a little older say 16-17 — •;hen get one of your own.

Do you realise we never begin to think of women a* old until they slump ... until their shoulder* sag forward, their chests cave in. their abdomens push out and their waistlines spread? Prove this for yourself by studying your friends. Compare the way they manage their bodies with the way a straight, young girl holds herself. Don t make the mistake of selecting just any young girl as the perfect example, however. Far too many youngsters have the same fault and. viewed from the rear, many of them appear to be years older than they are. In addition to the healthful advantages of carry ing the body properly, a youthful bouyancy of spirit is reflected in all body movements. One’s r actions become graceful, alive, interesting snd appealing instead of sagging into old-age lines of | failure and despair. And age, failure and despair are what a sagging body indicates to all who see it. The way you walk, the way you stand, the way you sit . all brand you as aged and decrepit or young and vital. One basic rule of posture must be learned first. For the present, forget all else about posture except practicing this rule. Keep your tummy pulled in! No matter how over-weight you may be ... no matter how long those muscles have sagged . . get to work on them now. PLLL THEM IN . . . pull them back toward your spine. As you do this, the chest is raised, the shoulders pulled back, the head posed correctly on the neck, the waistline slimmed down All these benefits are steps toward a youthful, bouyant figure * This paper has made special arrangments with JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON to answer your personal beauty questions. All you need do is -?nd a If. addresed, stamped envelope and 10 cer. (coin or stamps) for each question r,~ -d.

Faces are but the outward expres-! Sion of the soul! We all know of exceptions to that rule . . . know of wrinkled and even scowl-appearing countenances which mask personali ties brilliant in their warm sunlight of happiness they create for others. But, the rule can, and should be remembered by all women anxious to maintain their beauty as they ap proach the autumns of their lives. So, let us beware of constant scowls and frowns, of grim mouths. They some day will produce lines and wrinkles which will be difficult to erase—lines and wrinkles which will rob us of our youth, whatever our age. Most worry-lines are unnecessary. Here’s my proof of that statement: the other day I tried to make a list of all the “big” worries I had a year ago. Strangely enough, the list died being born. I simply could not re member of a single major worry which had gnawed at the cheerful ness of my life a year ago. I had worries, of course. But what were they? You can do the same. Try to make a “worry list” for 12 months ago. You will be amazed at the few items you can enter. Then, make a list of today’s worries. Study them. One by one remove them from the list, as you see their solution or as you realize that they aren’t worth worrying about. The entire experiment will do this for you... it will cause you to smile at yourself. And rather than worry lines and wrinkles, you’ll develop laugh-lines — happiness lines which add to beauty! If lines already are beginning to appear around eyes or mouth, a good cream, especially made for the purpose, may help you. Obtain such a cream and massage it gently into your skin. Do this twice each day. Poor eyesight can be causing you to frown or squint. If this is both-^ ering you, you, of course, want to im mediately see a good optometrist If you simply feel that you cannot' smile, there is something the mat ter with you. You probably are weary, and weariness easily shows in one’s face. Early to bed for a few nights will help. And fresh air and sunshine will add new enthusi asm to your spirits. Spring is upon us, exemplified by the budding freshness of all growing things about us. Spring is a “new” season, when the earth awakens aft er its winter’s sleep. We too can awaken . . . can gain for ourselves a new lease on our lives and present cheerful, happy faces to the world and to our families and friends. A new and different hair style may be your magic. Or perhaps your hair needs more care to restore its natural appearance. Beautiful hair . . . a happy face—these are two elements which can attract life and love to any woman, regardless of her age. Remember this: Spring Is here. You, too, can change and freshen and abandon the darkness of unhap piness. Be cheerful, be gay—enjoy life! What are your beauty problems? Write: Marie Downing, Larieuse Beauty Bureau, 3509 Lindell Bird., St. Louis, Mo., and she will be glad to answer them.
