branch of the National Associ¬
ation for the Advancement of
Colored People lost their suit to
Roy Wilkins and the national
office of the Association to
make available to them the
name of each branch and the
names and addresses of branch
presidents.
The court said that since the
petitioners wished to have the
lists for the purpose of com-
jmunicating with branches with
reference to the affais of the
Association, “it would appear
that this purpose could be fully
|accomplished” by directing the
Association to mail to mail to
[branch officers any eommunl-
| cations petitioners. submitted to it by the
Delegates to the recent NAA-
CP 41st annual convention in
Boston adopted a resolution
stating that “these two mem¬
bers of the Association in filing
the legal action . . . without giv¬
ing the Association any oppor¬
tunity to act • • • (acted) In vio¬
lation of the principles of good
organizational policy and can
only bring bad publicity and
misunderstanding.” The con¬
vention went on record in cen¬
suring Brewer and Bailey “for
i their actions which are so
j clearly in opposition to the
best interest" of the NAACP “to
[satisfy [against personal member antagonism of the staff.’ .

It’s positively criminal to stab a
good milan straw chapeau with hat
pins, particularly, when there’s a
much less damaging way to keep
it on your head. Just stitch on the
inside hat band two combs, teeth
up. When you don your bonnet, the
combs go through your hair and
help anchor down the hat.

No matter how unscientific you
think you are, here's a tidbit of
molecular information you’ll want
to master. When two glasses, bowls
or the like stick together, set the
bottom one in warm water and
pour cold water in the top. You’re
thereby expanding the bottom one
and contracting the upper, so
they’ll come apart easily.
