That the big ajigrht tackle, known to all of Chowan’s students as Herman Hooker, has been called to be examined Oct 12! No wonder the coach is turning gray! That nearly all of Chowan’s boys were awakened Tuesday mor ning at 2:00 a.m. to look for Rev. Warren Taylor’s eight-year old son, who had strayed away irom home? The funniest part of it all was Vance Stewart. He was “unde” the weather” and said he couldn’t make it, but he was g^d enough to loan his boots to Bobby Mit chell. What was the matter, Vance—too sleepy?? That Cliowan College’s foot ball squad and their dates were entertained by Edwin Brown af the Red Apple Cafe by a steak dinner for defeating Campbell 14- 12? Tliat the Coach was asking all the ■ boys if they were going to carry dates to the steak dinner, and one little fat boy by the name of “Cannonball” said he'd rather have to steaks.?

That Jay Wlllcox visits Aurel- ian Springs quite often? I won der wily. Jay—could it be a girl named “Bobbie”? courageous and eloquent. It seems probalble that he is the greatest commander and strategist that the country has yet produced on either side of the warfare be tween management and labor. He has won hiany victories and many benefits for his miners. Whether those things make him the greatest American is another question. Hi's critics point to th’e coal strikes that he called in the mid dle of World War II. His friends say that he never allowed coal supplies to reach a dan'gierous stage. His critics contend there is a lack of democrafey In his union. His friends say the miners are satisfied. Be is often grim, sullen, and sarcastic in public. His official biography says he is really af- falble, big hearted, and courtly. The "dogcatcher” episode came about as folows: In the ^ring of 1948, Mr. Tru man got a letter from a friend, Neal Bishop, a member of the Colorado legislature. Bishop nu merously proposed Lewis as am bassador to Moscow. ‘The presi dent replied that he appreciated the humor in Bishop’s letter, and that, as Bishop already knew, he woudn’t appoint Le'wis dogcatcher. Bishop kept this reply a year and a half, and this wfeek, for some reason, he made it public. That gave Lewis an opportuni ty to take the spotlight. He turn ed the occasion into an attack on the Statfe Department, which is the favorite target of the Re publicans in the Congressional/ campaigns now going on. (Le'wis is generally considered to be a Republican). Lewis, in a letter to Bishop, (See N.ATION TODAY on Page 2) LAUGH AT HATS? DO NOT SLUR,,SIR! W. J. M. Holland & Son, Int. FUNERAL DIRECTORS Murfreesboro, N. C. The Nation Today... By MAX HALL Wastiington — (.S’! John L. Lewis, president of thte United Mine Workers, is one Of our lead ing feudists. He waged a memorial feud with President Rooseveilt. He is feuding ■with President Truman, and they had another little scrimmage this week— His future with CIO President Philip Murray made labor his tory. Only a month ago he sent an other of his crushings. sneering letters to AFL president William Green. Lewis, regardless of what you tliink of him, occupies an im portant .position in the 20th Cen tury history of this indastrial country. The question is: What position? After his death, when hatreds have cooled and more evidence comes to the surface, scholars will .be better able to determine how much hero and how much villian he is. An acquaintance said to me at lunch recently: “I have come to ttie conlcusion that John L. Le wis is the greatest living Amrei- can.” “How do you define greatest?,’ I asked. ‘■Th'e man who has done most for the weilfare of the Ameri can ^people.” My Luncheon acquaintance has been a student of the Labor movement for 15 years. He is not connected with a union. He said he based his opinion partly on conversations with coal operators, Lewis’s traditional enemies across the bargaining ta.ble. His statement illustrates how complex and puzzling Lewis is. There are other students of the labor movement who see Lewis as a reactionary influence, a man with an ego as big as a coal field, who would put the interests of ttie general welfare, who is blind to America’s role in W’orfd affairs, and who is mainly keeping it there. All agree that Leiwis, as prin cipal foundfer and first president of the CIO, was the leader of the movement in the 1930's to orga nize the factory workers — and this movement was a very impor tant event in American history. All agree tlwt Lewis is shrewd. Tall, peaked hat with dainty, ruffled Egyptian men wore thi« ilrange- edging worn by English in 1300. looking afFair back in 3000 B. C* forth with the advent of the hood during Medieval times. The rugged males of this ago wore hoods vrith peaks of exag gerated length, often dangling fetchlngly over one ear. The peaks were pleated, scallopcd and colled to put today’s milliners to shame. Englishmen went even further and were addicted to such fripperies as the "cockscomb,” a twisted turban, and the "roundlet,” a stuffed tur ban resembling nothing so much as an extremely happy cabbage. By LUCIA PERRIGO Central Press Correspoudent CfflCAGO—Hold that slur, sir, next time you’re inclined to horse laugh your wife’s hat! Because, take It from the experts, she’d have the last laugh. Just in case you’re stalking around under the smug Impression that silly headgear always has been the province of the feminine sex, take a gsuider at the accom panying illustrations. They are no joke-book jobs but the real as rain facsimiles of what the male ani mal used to fancy as something he might fancy for himself. It was a generous gentleman named J. Morris Jones, editor of Tha World Book who rose to the occasion the other day with a little research designed to soothe all the wounded feelings of women since time Immemorial. He came up with the wonderful, wonderful fact that ornate sky- pleces were origflnated in 3000 B. C. or thereabouts, strictly for the boys. They were going giddy in their millinery at a date when women were content to put a new ribbon on last year’s wig. Egrypt'sih dignitaries who needed a place to put the symbols of their rank, devised a helmet of stiff wool that soared to a height of 18 Inches. They were gaudy as all get-out while the girls had to con fine themselves to wigs, bands, wreaths and ribbon. • • • THE FIRST brimmed hats were fancied by huntsmen in Greece who affected low-crowned, broad- brimmed affairs, shaped like a bar ber’s basin, as protection from the sun. Tied around the neck by strings, they could be slung back on the shoulders and proved so popular the lads were weauing them right up to the Fourteenth Century in England. First glimmer of the girls get ting a head-hold on the situation came in 400 A. D. In the Byzantine empire when both men and women wore little skull caps. The women pushed Into the lead by decorating theirs with flowing draperies, span gles and jewels. Their bright day, however, waa brief and the men once again held AS IF THIS weren’t enough, girls, the rogues of the Seventeenth Century wore not only curls and lovelocks, but wigs as well and reached for their curling Irons each morning. Flowing locks called for the cavalier’s hat, broad of brim and rolling or cocked, trimmed with long ostrich plumes, fastened to the back or left side to permit free use of the sword arm without danger of snipping off an Inch of finery. Crowns of the cavalier hats usually were trimmed with a jeweled necklace or a silk band sewn with gems and with large gold ornaments that were love tokens and therefore worn on the left, or heart side. AAAAAAh! Ever since then, the decoration on me.i’s hats has remained there. It wasn’t until the Fourteenth Century that the wOmen got a chance. Then they went berserk in the bonnet. In an effort to out do anything worn by the opposite sex to date, they whipped up the “hennin” and "escoffion." The great "hennin” was a high, cone-shape cap worn on the t>ack of the head, adorned with a 10 to 12-foot veil. The “escoffion" was a twin-homed arrangement, decor ated with flags, veils and fringe. Each horn of the Medieval mon strosity was more than a yard In length. Today, the boys are as subdued as the Inside of a phone booth, but remember, the next time one brings out his brightest vocabulary to put the bee on a lady’s bonnet, Just lift a few of these lines and let him have It, Glds, DON’T keep this under your nat.
