X. g.—I was married to my
first husband 15 years. We just
could not get along. I divorced and
married another. I learned this
man I married was after every
thing I had. He wanted everything
for his self, but did not want to
give anything He only worked
enough to make ends meet. His
motto was ‘live for today, let to
morrow take care of itself.” It
may be shameful to say, but I
went back to my first husband
and so far I am very happy. Will
we have children? He treats me
like a queen now.
Ans: Good! you deserve it. And
good riddance to husband No. 2.
But—there is a little matter of
another divorce to take care of
before you should think of becom
ing a mother. As to bearing chil
dren—if you and your mate are
serious about this matter, you
should visit your family doctor
together and let him advise you
Medical science has made many
advances on the subject of fertil
ity in recent years. Your physi
cian diagnosis of your case may
surprise you.
B. T.—My grandfather waa an
employee at a certain railway co.
for a period of 30 years. He re
tired about two years before his
death (1944). He was drawing a
pension I would like to know if
my grandmother could draw
some source of income She is in
her late fifties
Ans: I fear not. However, this
matter is worth investigating for
a new act affecting retired rail
road fi.lks went into effect as of
the first of January this year. If
your grandmother has minor chil
dren under 18, she may be eligi
ble for this pension now. If not,
when she reaches the age of 65,
and if she has not married. I be
lieve she will draw benefits. For
definite information, write or vis
it the Railroad Retirement Board
office in your state. They will
cheerfully inform you what steps
to take.
F. C_I am very worried about
my future. I am making a little
money but in the wrong way. I
want to know if I will ever meet
the right guy and how can I do
better ?
Ans: The road you are travel
ing now is paved with heartaches
and suffering and leads downhill.
Put your past behind you, friend
—.otakt out a new claim and a
new life for yourself in some other
section of the country. The joy
:.nd freedom of mind you will real
tie from such a change will be
like a breath of heaven to you.
When the day comes that you cut
all ties with the kind of life you
are now living . . . you will be in
, a position to find happiness with
the right guy. In the meantime,
2 want you to send for my Happier
laving Lesson No. 3, “THE WAIT
TO HAPPINESS” ... it bears a
l message for you.
“Only a few words eo express
my thoughts to you for the words
you sent to me. I have been hap
pier really since I wrote you.
Wouldn't take nothing in the
world for writing to your service.
I wish that I could write every
day. Thank you, dear friend, you
have opened my eyes and I am
very happy over it* Signed: K.
Me.
M. J_I have a daughter in the
insane home and would like very
much to get her out. She is not
crazy, she is just nervous and I
can’t get her out. Would you
please advise me?
Ans: In a case like this, my
good woman we must abide by
the decision of the authorities. The
doctors at the institution know
better than members of the in
mates family if the patient is well
enough to return home. Instead
of trying to get your daughter an
outright release, my suggestion is
to request permission for her to
visit at home with you for a few
days. If she behaves normally on
these visits, it may lead to her
dismissal.
__
S. J_Is friend husband as
happy as he thought he would be
after I moved away?
Ans: Friend husband’s life is
much lonelier than it was, as is
yours. The change has done you
both good though, for you were
getting on each other’s nerves.
Keep in touch with him and let
him know in a nice way that you
have a genuine interest in his wel
fare and future happiness.

Willa Mae McCreary,' Reporter
This youth organization is made
up of all denominational Chris

wish to live in themselves along,
but to give a portion of their
lives to make others happy. In this
I youth organization there are
three divisions: dramatics, literary,
literary and variety, where we put
our ideals in doing good and to
give and do our best. God hides
some ideal in every human soul
at some time in our life; we feel
a trembling, fearful longing to do
some good thing, and the impulse
to do our best. Here are some of
the brief activities that you may
be expecting from us in the near
future.
Dramatics: Mystery
The club will put on a mystery
play sometime in April. Prepara
tions are now being made which
I will be announced further in more
| detail.
Literary: Debate
A debate will be put on on the
third Sunday of this month at
Salem Baptist church. Topic:
“Which home has given more to
the family—the earlier home or
the modern home.” Be sure to
hear this. I know you will be
I pleased.
Variety: Boxing
One of our members will fight
Tuesday night on the 14. He is
Mr Eugene Brown. The club will
be there in full to cheer him on.

COURT TRANSCRIPT
TAMPERED; NAACP
DEMANDS INVESTIGATION
NEW YORK—In a letter dated i
Dec. 28, 1946, addressed to Ro
bert Patterson, Secretary of War,
the NAACP, requested an immedi
ate investigation of the “doctor
ing” of a courtmartial record of
Frederick Conrad. The letter point
ed out that Conrad, a former Pri
vate in Company B of the 184th
Engineer Combat Battalion, hac
been tried by a General Court
Martial at Gutersloh, Germany, on
July 14, 1945, for allegedly hav
ing committed the crime of rape
upon a German woman. He had
been found guilty as charged and
sentenced to an unknown period
of confinement at hard labor.
It was alleged i the letter that
a phrase had obviously been added
following the original transcrip
tion of the record of trial. It was
stated that were it not for the in
clusion of this added phrase, the
conviction could not have been sus
tained. It was charged that this
doctoring of the record is unlaw
ful, and was done with the intent
to uphold a conviction whih other
wise would have had to be revers
ed.
The Secretary o War was rged |
to do all within his power to have
the onvition reversed and to in
vestigate the whole ase in order
to ascertain the individual guilty
o this wrongful act.
The record had been forwarded
to the NAACP Legal Department
by the Pittsburgh Branch of the
National Urban League for assist
ance in obtaining the release of
Pvt. Cor rad. who has at all times
alleged his innocence of this
crime.
Fifty years ago a publication
was established in New York en
titled The Horseless Age. There
were exactly four “horseless car
riages” in the entire United States

IS THERE SUCH A THING AS
PERFECT
WOMANHOOD ?
“No”—claim medical authorities, who ought to
know! Nature has so constructed and physi
cally endowed woman that in many cases she’s
apt to suffer certain distressing symptoms *
during her life. For instance, when she enters %
womanhood—or during the menopause, the
period when fertility ebbs away.
Now if on ‘certain days’ of the month—fe
male functional monthly disturbances are
causing you to suffer from pain, nervous dis
tress and feel so tired, cranky, you snap at
your children and husband—then do try Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to relieve
such symptoms. It’s famous for this purpose.
Made ESPECIALLY For Girls and Women
Pinkham’s Compound does more than relieve
such monthly pain. It also relieves accom
panying nervous tension, irritability and weak,
highstrung feelings—when due to this cause.
Taken regularly thruout the month — this
great medicine helps build up resistance
against such distress. A thing any sensible
woman should want to do! • .
Lydia Pinkhamis Compound is also very
effective to relieve hot flashes and those funny,
embarrassing feelings during the years 38 to
52—when due to the functional ‘inidu^e-age
period peculiar to women.
Pinkham’s Compound is worth tryingl
