' We have no right or reason to be proud of the color of our skin, white or yellow or black or red, or the purity of our blood, all red and all mixed. This is from the annual race relations message issued recently by the National Council of Churches. In a 500-word plea for racial justice directed to the 35,800,000 members of its 30 constituent communions, the interdenomination al church body likened many presenVday white American church goers to the ancient Greeks who acted as if the diety were an Athenian and were "ridiculously proud of the wrong things," a dispatch from the council states. "The sociology and anthropology of our day have laid scientif ic approval on the racial insights, that are at least as old as ancient Athens," the statement reads. "Yet after 1900 years and more, we. often continue to mold our God into a white and American idol. "What will shake us out of the complacency that allows us in our churches and in our nation to go on treating people as inferior to us on account of such irrelevances as color of skin or form of feature or. accent of speech?" the message continues. Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, president of the national council, was author of the statement. It is coupled with" a 10-point outline of suggested steps to be taken by local churches and individuals in combating prejudices and discriminatory practices. It was re leased for use in connection with the 34th annual observance of Race Relations Sunday, February 12. We wonder if the churches of Alabama will observe Race Re lations Sunday today. . . If the weather bureau could, arrange it so that every Wednes day was reasonably fair, it would Toe a great help to this every-now-and-then gardener. Last Wednesday afternoon we spent al most two hours in the garden, enjoying the warm sunshine and mostly doing little tasks which should have been finished last fall. The recent cold nights have played havoc with the winter jas mine blossoms which' were already out, but the later flowers are a wonderful bright yellow. We looked hopefully for blossoms on the winter iris but these too were wilted and frost-bitten. However the Japanese quince had big fat buds along the branches, so we picked some of these for indoor forcing into bloom, and reminded ourselves that the day before we had found two little white violets. We were surprised to find these, too, because the bed of purple violets which is warmed by the afternoon sun doesn't have a single flower as yet, while the white ones came from a' bed on the north side of the house which must be consider ably colder. ' ' ' Taking time out to wipe off the car, we wondered for the thou sandth time about the dirt which accumulates so quickly on the bright new paint. Since the dust particles on side and top must come from the air, and since everyone must breathe this 'same air, it seems a miracle that it doesn't ruin our respiratory systems. The car had been freshly washed and cleaned only Sunday, yet on Wednesday was thickly coated again. Fifteen years ago a newly-married couple spent the week end at Rogue River lodge near Trail. During dinner on that Saturday night the lodge entertainer sang a hit song of the season, dedicat ing it to the pair, and the mqvie and stage star, George. Murphy, also a guest at the lodge, did a song and dance number for the special pleasure of the --newly weds. The newly weds of 15 years ago were the Phil Brainerds, and Thursday night Phil and VerNetta celebrated their anniversary by having dinner at Rogue Valley Country club. It turned out to be a very special event, for Abby Green, club musician, played again the song which he had dedicated to the couple at Rogue River lodge when they had been married only a week. The song was "I'll Never Smile Again," one of the big tunes of 1940-41. Mrs. B.; recalled that she had danced with Actor Murphy, while his wife had been her husband's partner,, and that the entire eve ning had been one big thrill. The Brainerds met while Phil was jot the staff of the Salem Statesman as a photographer, and his future wife was employed by Secretary of State Snell. One. of Medford's small fry arrived home from school a short time ago pretty perturbed ' about the announcement that more "shots" were to be given. Her father, after looking over the note which she brought from school, explained that these were to be tuberculin tests. They just put some stuff in your arm and later they can tell from the size of the bump whether you have TB or not, said papa, trying to sound nonchalant. Daughter pondered this explanation for a time and then asked in a bewildered voice, "But daddy, how can anyone look at a bump on your arm and tell whether or not you have a television set? O.S. .

Country club, with members of Alpha Rho chapterof Beta Sigma Phi as hostesses.. Proceeds from the, event will be used to provide a scholarship for a young woman .who wishes to study nursing. . Clothing from;. Burelson's store was modeled by members of the sorority, with Mrs. Mar jorie Green of the store as com mentator. The show had a spring into summer" theme and opened with . swim styles and lounging wear.. The main showing was of street and after noon clothes, and a few evening frocks closed the showing. Since it is the Valentine sea son and since red is always a popular spring . color, many dresses and coats were in this color. The new empire line was in evidence, and many dresses, jackets and suits either were unbelted, or had half belts. Al though fashion releases . from the east and Europe have stress ed that large hats would be popular this season,, most of the young women who modeled in this show chose small ones. How ever, these were, of new shapes, such as the deep "tambourine" pill box. : The spring shoes worn by the models created almost as much interest as the dresses, suits and coats. Some of these were of the clear plastic known as vinylite fashioned with pencil-slim heels which look extremely fragile but which are said to be really strong since they are ballou al uminum These newest Of new slips are worn with both after noon and evening frocks. Some had mother-of-pearl ornamenta tion. To close the show Mrs. Ray mond Morton modeled a red and white lace net formal gown with extremely full skirt. She made a second tour of the rooms to show a late offering in the realm of rain wear a plastic cover-up coat fashioned, with full skirt, to go over an evening gown. It has an attached hood, and matching umbrella. BPWC To-Rear-,-: Faculty; Member, Exchange Student .Dr. Clifford R.
