RAILROAD NEEDS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORT ANCE SAYS HEAD Boston, April (NIPS)—A sober warning that the needs of the railroads must establish precedence over any other in dustry in the allocation system of scarce materials for civil ian use, was voiced by William T. Faricy, AAR head, in re cent remarks to a local shippers advisory board here. “The threat of war”, Mr. Faricy stated, “hangs like a cloud over the entire civilized world, and the tough talk on Loth sides of the tlantic could scarcely be tougher of we were really at war. With the exception of the armed forces them selves. no part of the process of putting ourselves in readi ness is more important than getting the railroads in shape.” It was pointed out by the rail head that in World War II the railroads carried 90 per cent of America’s war freight and 97 per cent of its military traffic. He also stressed the need for building up the supply of freight cars by citing the fact that since more cars were junked than were built in the last two years, there are now 40.000 fewer freight cars in service than there were at the end of the last war.. LOCAL BELL COMPANY ACCEPTS NEGRO WOMEN Philadelphia, April (NIPS)—Another battle against the bias was won by the Armstrong Association here in obtain ing the employment of two women as tellers in a local Bell telephone office here. The association'had been recently suc cessful in getting jobs for two Negro typists in the account ing department of the company. It has been noted that while in both New York and New Jersey, the integration of colored workers not only in the cler ical departments but as telephone operators has been existent for the past two years, this is the first step taken by a Pennsy lvania unit of the system. Many observers agree that the competence of the colored woman who has been selected to ‘break the ice’ has been one one of the most important factors in obtaining further inroads, and the company heads have accepted the qualifications of Negroes to satisfactorily perform in any capacity. INDUSTRY MAY STIMULATE INTEGRATION Nashville, April (NIPS)—An announcement by a Fisk University spokesman of a gift by the Carnegie Corporation of funds to finance a microfilm series on the Negro in Ameri ca reflects previously indicated observations of the interest that American industry is taking in the sponsorship of pro jects in behalf of Negro progress. Many major corporations are falling into line with the precedents established by the Carnegie and Rosen wald foun dations, the Pepsi-cola company, and other major industrial units, in the fostering of educational and cultural projects which, many observers say, may be the fore-runners of bet ter relationship between management and the Negro public. KANSAS CITY SHOWS BUSINESS CONSCIOU SNESS Kansas City, Kansas, April (NIPS)—The increasing bus iness conciousness of the Negroes of Kansas City is reflected in the first exposition of Negro business which was held here recently. Sponsored by a local organization, the occasion wa^ planned, it was revealed, to mark the progress of the Negro enterprise in this area, and to create a public awarness of this effort. It was noted that some twenty-nine business concerns were represented in the exposition, and the attendance at the affair was revealed to be encouraging to 'the sponsors, and to be reflective of a dynamic interest on the part of the city s residents in the business and industrial life in the area.

He has given me the rings, he comes to see me nearly every night. My pro blem is—is it wrong for me to wrant to go ahead and marry and then find, some place to stay? Ans: Not at all—plan your wedding for an early date. In the meantime, look around for any kind of liveable place as you will not have to make it a permanent home. Just as soon as you find an apartment, you can make a change. But, if you are going to put off marriage until you can move into a little dream flat—it may be some time yet before you wed. Your friend is ready for marriage now—and so are you. X. A. C.—Please answer this problem for me in the column. Wi 1 I get the money to get a car by my birthday in June?

Immediately af ter disembarking at an east coat port, our new “Red sav iours” begin their chant. It’s an interesting chant. It never changes, and it rarely ever subsides.

I want to know if I should marry him? Ans: He realizes now how mu ch you and the children mean to him and he wants to assure his responsibitities—Give him the opportunity to prove his sincerity. Don't make the mis take you did in the past. Go to him as his legal wife and strive to make a happy home for him and the children. H. W. T.—We are undecided what to do. We have bought a spot of land and we want to know which is best for us to do, stay on the farm where we are or move on the place we bought? Ans: It's late in the season now to be making a change as your husband has his crop well under way. Stay on where you are this year, as your husband wants you to do, and make your plans to move this fall. B. M.—I was one of the unfor tunate girls in the world. I gave birth to a little girl at an early age. The man has never seen the child. I understand he is supposed to return to visit his relatives soon. What I wa nt to know is did he et:er reallv love me and will he turn us a side as lie did me before? Ans: His love at that time was shallow and the fact that he was extremely young prohib ited him from realizing just what he did to you. He's still single and you may be able to win him yet. But, do not fail all over yourself playing up to him just because you love him. Do’nt give one inch—let him know that the only way he can have you is by marrying you first. “seem scarcely civilized.
