By Edna Mae McIntosh Has your baby been a little mor* fretful lately? Perhaps it is toe warm. When babies are born during the winter months, parents are apt to become so accustomed to dressing them warmly, they fail to make th« necessary adjustments when spring arrives. It is a scientifically proven fact that babies produce much more body heat, in proportion to their size, than do older children and adults. This is partly because their internal body processes go on at a more rapid rate and partly be cause, they are so active. Because of this difference in heat produc tion, it is difficult to judge what it takes to make a baby comfortable. However, at least a mother can try to decide whether she would le comfortable dressed as the baby is. This is a good starting point and beyond that, she will have to use her own good judgment. Nature’s most effective way of keeping humans cool is through evaporation of perspiration. This is taking place constantly, usually so efficiently that the person is not conscious of it. Because of this, it is most important for the baby’s clothes or bedding to fit loosely. Using lighter weight clothing and having fewer layers is another means of keeping the baby cooler as warm weather approaches. Adults usually want a little more water when they’re warm. Offering cooled boiled water more frequent ly might therefore prove effective in keeping the baby comfortable. It all resolves itself into a prac tice of the Golden Rule. Put your self in the baby’s place and act accordingly. yAT'L LEADERS HAIL SEGREGATED BIS DECISlOy BY COI RT NEW YORK. June 6th—Distin guished Americans from all parts of the United States have tele phoned congratulations to the NAACP on its victory in the US Supreme Court in the Irene Mor gan case which prohibits segrega tion based on color or race in in terstate bus travel. Herbert H. Lehman, former Governor of New York State and until recently director of UNRRA wired: “I am pleased and thoroughly agree with the decision of the Supreme Court outlawing segre gation on interstate buses. I am very confident that the law abid ing citizens of the states affected wall willingly and fully abide by this just decision”. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Presi dent of the American Jewish Con gress, telegraphed: “Rejoice over long deferred de cision Supreme Court regarding interstate buses. Profesional Ne gro baiters will howl, but decent minded southerners and norther ners will approve and rejoice in just irrepealable decision”. Mark Ethridge, editor of the Louisville, Ky„ COURIER-JOUR NAL, telegraphed the following excerpt from an editorial in that newspaper of June 6th, “In a series of memorable de cisions, the Supreme Court has proved’ its title as the sanctuary of liberties. One may feel an in completeness in that the opinion on the Virginia segregation law was based on its being a burden on interstate commerce and that the case was not decided on the isue of fundamental right. At that the opinion on the issue is bound to be of great effect, serving the purpose of enhancing human dig nity and protecting American guarantees by whatever channel it moved thither”. -- LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, MO.

Donohoe, entomologist of the Peterman Laboratories, who recommended to the nation’s housewives that their homes be kept free of ail ants. _ ' The best way to destroy ants calls for an insecticide in powder form. Place it in unbroken lines — about a half inch wide — across all avenues of entrance. If ants enter house through kitchen door, place line of powder next to sill and extend it from one side of door to the ether (as pictured above). Make ants cross killing agent at some point as they enter house. That’s all that’s necessary to kill them. To assure best results, choose an insecticide in powder form designed especially for ants, then follow above directions. 1 cation, bachelor of science in vo | cational education and one bache lor of journalism.

To Put on Special Effort To Eliminate Over-ceiling Charges, ami Black Markets To eliminate overceiling char ges and other black market prac tices in Negro communities, the Office of Price Administration is plannng a special effort on the part of its regional and district information panels during the Ju ly month. The necessity for widespread community participation in the activities of Price Control boards if their operations are to be sig nificant and effective in control ling retail prices in the communi ty is realized by the price agency declared Paul Porter, OPA Ad ministrator. By community participation, Mr Porter said we mean the assump tion of responsibility—both as in dividuals and working together in groups—by people in the com munity for an effective price con trol program. In this way people do something about price control. , They educate their community, report violations, work as Board volunteers. To be effective, this participation must obviously in- ] elude the racial ana nationality groups which makes up the com munity. The agency pointed out that the effect of the support—through compliance and participation—ol 13 million Negro consumers and other minorities on the success or failure of OPA programs is a matter of fundamental import ance. Black market activities are be lieved to be flourishing in Negro communities because many Negro workers have been and are yet receiving much higher pay than ever before and are willing to buy at any cost the articles which they could not previously afford. These community groups must be organized OPA said, so that the black markets of all kinds are wiped out in communities where they live and shop. A large number of commodities which do not enter into the cost of living budget have been drop ped from price control, OPA de clared. There is therefore, more need than ever to have volunteers j in every community to give in formation to consumers so they will continue to know that most of the food, clothing and other items which they buy daily are still under price control. The objectives of the July In formation Panel program are 1 o gain broad understanding bj communities with racial and nat onality populations of the danger >f black markets; 2-to secure in formed active cooperation of all organizations churches, and the schools within the communities saving racial and nationality pop CHAMP CONGRATULATES ANOTHER—H eavywelght Champion Joe Louis congratulates Reuben J. Patton, crack salesman for the Schenley Distilleries and subsidiaries, who topped the most powerful distributor sales force in 4he country recently when he led eighty-seven salesmen in an intensive three-week selling campaign on Carioca Rum. Formerly of Detroit, Mr. Patton is the ranking salesman of the firm at the present time. He is pictured here with the Brown Bomber, with whom he was friendly in the Motor City. * * * — Negro Heads Crack Sales Force of Liquor Concern NEW YORK—The Brooklyn V/Ine and Spirits Company, a branch of the firm which produces Schenley whiskies, has the most powerful and efficient sales force of any distributing agency in the entire coun try. It is composed of eighty-seven scientifically selected men who cover the New lork area. lhat explains why more Schenley whisky and Schenley by-products, such as Carioca Rum, is sold in New York, than any other brand. Of even more significance, how-| ever, is the fact that the number one man of this crack sales force is a Negro, who joined the staff only nine months ago, and im mediately began establishing all kinds of new records. He is Reu ben J Patton, a tall, modest, per sonable individual, who is extreme ly conscious of the fact that his continued success may be the key to more jobs for members of his race. The distinction of being the top-ranking liquor salesman in the highly competitive New York mar ket is not as important to Patton as the possibility of setting an ex ample in mis particular ueiu ui endeavor for others to follow. It is no secret tnat other firms here are conscious of the job he has done and consequently realize that salesmanship is not based on race, but, rather on ability. “I’m not only trying to prove that I'm a good salesman,” Patton explains, “but also that race is no barrier. I’d like to see more young Negroes become associated with big firms and become salesmen. It’s a very profitable business if you have the ambition and energy to work.” PATTON’S RISE His rise in the business world is • story that is typically American. He started at the bottom and work ed to the top. He once washed automobiles in Detroit, Mich. Then he decided he wanted to sell cars and from that time on he went places. He was held in such high esteem in Detroit’s big and sprawl ing Negro business section. “Para dise Valley,” that they elected him as its mayor three times. During his tenure in office he became active in all types of civic affairs and the late Franklin D. Roosevelt once wrote him a personal letter of commendation for his efforts to build a national non-partisan hos pital for the cure of infantile paralytic patients. LRB ARBITRATOR For the past three years, Patton was an arbitrator with the Gov ernment Labor Relations Board. When the war ended he decided to join the staff of the Brooklyn Wine & Spirits Co. It was a wise decision on his part and also on the part of the company to hire him. “I have worked with a lot of firms,” Patton said recently, “but the Schenley Company is the best. All they ask is that you go out and sell and you’ll be well rewarded. Not only have they given me an opportunity, but they also have Negroes work ing in the business department, which is more than gratifying.” At a recent meeting of the sales force, Col. Olaf K. Tackle, one of the company’s top executives said, “Mr. Patton is our top salesman. He’s there because he earned that distinction through hard work. My only regret is that he isn’t ten men instead of one.” STOVE THAT WARDED U. S. TROOPS TO WASHINGTON, D. C, BY PLANE Washington, D. C. — Congressman Roger C.

The stove was flown by transport plane from Independence, Mis souri, home of President Harry S. Truman, where the first model was manufactured in April, 1940. The one-millionth stove came off the production line recently in the President’s home town. In use in hundreds of thousands of U. S. homes and stores today, the stove will be remembered by veterans as the one that warmed 1 frigid feet and frostbitten ears after stinging days and nights in the field. The Army adopted the stove as standard early in the war, and in Quartermaster circles it is known as U. S. Army Space Heater No. 1. At Washington, the one-millionth Warm Morning stove, represent- I ing a phenomenal production achievement, has been put on display at the offices of the National Coal Ass’n. ulations; 3-to recruit quotas of vo lunteers from these communities I to regularly check the prices in i stores that serve them; 4-to sti- j mulate the activities of cost of | living committees already organi zed in the local branches of na tional organizations; and 5-to or ganize and develop additional cost of living committees in those organizations which do not have them. • For Greater Coverage ADVERTISE in the Guide .... —w-.....—... ->r——■ THE ROAD TO HEALTH Taking Carp of Your Teeth By William D. Giles, D.D.S. Program Chairman. Nat’l Dental Ass’n, Chicago, 111. _ I Two patients who came to my office last week presented a re markable contrast. One was a 6 year old child who came in with her mother. The child was shed ding her baby teeth and getting her permanent ones. Her mother TABLE MODEL Ra; | year old daughter to see me wa* aware of the importance of car I ing for the teeth. She has been ! bringing the child to my office at regular intervals for a couple of 1 years She knew that even though the child would lose her baby ones these teeth should be kept in good condition if the permanent teeth were to be strong and healthy. There are several things we ’tiKi do to keep our teeth heal thy. One is to eat proper foods. It | is particularly important that the children be given foods rich in minerals, calcium and phospherous ;f tvov are to develop strong good teeth. These elements are found in I generous quantities in milk, the i citrus fruits, such as oranges and gra cu t and in tomstoe". F^sh i fruits and vegetables are also rich ! in vitamins ncessary to the grow I th of healhy teeth. To keep the teeth in good condition it is also necessary to eat some coarse food each day. Chewing bread crusts, toast, raw apples and crisp raw vgetables help keep the gums and the teeth healthy. Mouth cleanliness is essential to healthy teeth. The teeth should be brushed carefully in the morning and at night before going to bed. 'n'» dentist will be glad to show you how to brush your teeth to I ..n luein well without injuring their enamel covering. It is also important to visit the dentist two or three times a year. If people got in the habit of visi ting their dentist regularly, they would have fewer toothaches and I fewer decayed teeth, and would run less risk of losing their teeth while they are young and of in juring their health as a result of infected teeth. A visit to the dentist every six months is recommended for the average person. If you should go more frequently, the dentist will fell you. Through regular visits to the dentist, cavities will be detec ted in their early stages before the tooth becomes badly decayed. Through cleaning by the dentist about twice a year will also keep the teeth healthy. Good teeth are essential to good health. It is worthwhile to take care of them. f ~1 There's a Thrill in Bringing a Crook to Justice Through Scientifle CRIME I DETECTION I bare taught thousands of mea and women tuts nming. profitable, pleasant profession.
