Orqanize FanFare Hate Group HUEY LONG By ft hn hMn nid time and again, i One must be able to recognize it that necessity the mother of in order to fit into all facet invention. life. Music ii one of these facets In this column I shall attempt' and when you have discovered that I lM tMA to put this saying into acuon. in Keeps you compieieij wu fact. I have no alternative.

I had an appointment for an interview with a friend of mine whom I consider to be a very interesting person. Our "wires" became crossed and consequently we did not meet, thereby causing my story, which I had planned for this week's column to go out the window, and just before press time. Here it is, and as I said before, )t is just before press time. An unknown oerson has lust entered. He introduces himself to me, and informs me that my neighbor, Ray of Berti Bros.

Candy suggested that he(drop in to see me. He is a very unusual person so I must do my very best to describe him to you. His height, about six feet; weight, about ISO pounds; color, ebony; build, similar to that of Superman; with a beautiful set of teeth, has own. very long black hair, heavily waved, with deeo. clear, black eyes.

He wears lightweight shoes with rub ber soles and as he reaches over to shake my hand I hear a. very soft, though resonant voice, i He introduces himself as being a 'fruitarian" writer, musician and gardener, who has just arrived from California. He immediately bent my ear with his musical voice, turned in on humanity to the channel of philosophy. I took notice of his soft walk, talk and being a musician it was only natural to observe such tratis. I asked him how being a "fruitarian" helps him in his music.

I'd like very much to bring you a part of his response. "Physical atonement," he said, quietly, "merely means that the body has a rhythm all of its own. MAP ANNIVERSARY PLAN Members of the National Council of Negro Women, Reg Ion 1, In meeting held at the YWCA, made plans for their 20th anniversary breakfast to be held on Sunday, Mar. 27, at the Hotel New Yorker. Guest speaker will be Mrs.

William Barclay Parsons, vice president of the International with the universe and yourself. Relax the body, fix the mind on I positive plane. Concentrate on peace, not war; on iovet not nate. "Learn to conauer idle talk. Think first what you are going tn iav.

then nv it in as few words as possible. He who conquers Idle talk is the universal victor. To be able to control the mind and thought is more to be desired than the making of millions. "The senses are great; greater than the senses is the mind; greater than the mind is pure reason; greater than pure reason is the self. When you catch the senses leading away the mind, bring them back.

Retreat within, step by step. Do this every time you can until you have the senses subjugated to your command. Subjugate the senses, master them. You "have all the control there Is; use it. Learn to live the present.

Emphasize the now. Every effort on your part makes this easier. You cannot express too much control at anytime. Avoid excitement; the excited senses lead away the mind. I refuse to get excited; I will be what I will be.

I refuse to be hated, but loved, refuse to be weak, but strong. "Coolness is great; greater than coolness is balance. Through still ness balance ia manifested." His name is Stanford L. Hayej, he chooses to be called just Stan. To me he is very cool and deep.

I have enjoyed talking with Stan very much. Yesterday he. was unknown to me today we are like old friends. out. ot necessity this week's column.

Near East Education Is Still Inadequate By VINCENT S. BAKER i We are now ready to continue our trip with Miss Layle Lane, well known school teacher and social crusader, whose finding on her world tour deserve attention: i Public education in the Near East and in India is so inadequate tn make the shortage of teach ers and classrooms in the United States seem almost unimportant. In Lebanon, education is largely in private hands, with anyone who can read and interpret the Korean (the book which is the Counterpart of your Bible) is considered a likely schoolmaster. Somewhat less than fifty per cent of the children attend even these meager centers of learning. Women have recently been encouraged to sees on and that encourage ment is not very pronounced even nnw.

The brieht soot in the Le banon picture is the American Uni versity, at which a first rate eau o.tinn ran be secured, at which teachers are trained. This will, in time, raise the standard through out the country. The situation in Lebanon is pret tv much duolicated throughout the Near East Miss Lane finds that influence of religion on educa tion in Moslem countries, has not been constructive on the whole. In Moslem countries, has not been constructive on the whole. In India the situation is somewhat better on the whole.

The British made a lasting contribution during their stay there. The Nehru government is an enlightened one. Three general truths should be borne in mind: The first is that there are exceptions to the rules stated above. The second, is that everywhere there is a popular demand for increased educational opportunity. The third is that this part of the world is poor.

Freeze Fund Total Hits $168,500 NEW YORK Funds now fa the Tri State bank 'at Memphis, to aid in the fight against the Mississippi credit freeze total $168,500, the NAACP announced last week.

Some 42 members of the Baltimore Association of Commerce made an inspection tour of the new million and a half dollar Milton L. rallowav hall and other science .11 aid from the United States through I facilities at Morgan State college. ANN HARRIS, young and talented modiste (e r) shown with her cast of top flight models during finale of fashion show held on Sunday at Palm Garden ballroom, 3M The girl with "chic" as her ban ner and the girl who likes being with "interesting" and talented people in an atmosphere of the atase should feel at home in this phase of modeling.

Fashion shows have become synonymous with clamour and sophistication and are as much a part of the New York scene as the Savoy. They ranee in size from intimate lunch eon shows to huge productions like the Verlie Morrison extravaganza, Glamour in Cars," and the "Ar tistry in Fashion" shows of last year. They are always smartly done by truly smart people, and feature the latest and frequently some of the more expensive clothes. All the things that suggest gracious living, plus soft lights in a beautiful room. Exquisite music and a modish audience are tne principal props of the fashion show.

DEFINITE TYPES Fashion show work requires def inite types and1 personalities. A certain heieht and slimness of fig ure are the unvarying require ment. The fashion show manuun can have a race that is unusual or "interestine" rather than prt marilv nretty. She must loos: cnic more aa a result of the manner in which she has put herself to rpther than because of tne quality nf her clothes. She must feel nt art aa a nerfectionist.

She mnct he familiar with showing all kinds of clothes, in all kinds of shows. Her walk must be free of ostenttion; poses, expression, the movements of arms and hands must be fingertip knowledge. To be a fashion show model is within mpK nf everv eirl with the Will to learn. If her groundwork is carefully prepared, sne commnes fair decree of natural ability with ambition, little need stand in her way, if success is her aim. MFWITST IDEA The.

newest of the promotional ideas in the fashion show line is a tour of the isle of Bermuda. The plans are now being formulated by the Hilton G. Hill travel agency. TnninrieH in the details of the plan ning are 35 New York models who, as yet, have not been chosen. rriin CHAMBER A very interesting sidelignt in the case of lovely Claudia Wing, Hancer with Skotye's group, cha ha never seen the Empire state building although living in the metropolitan area for 23 years.
