REIDSVILLE DAILY
RAPS INTOLERANCE
REIDSVILLEi, N.C.—Review
white daily, scored those who
pratctice intolerance toward
minortiy groups and termed in
tolerance “a closing of doors,
and a turning down of lighs’ in
an editorial Wednesday, Sept.
24
Battling \almojst alone in a
hostile little town not only a-
gainst shor|;-shighted merchants
who withhold their suport, but
against an even shorter-sighted
public opinion, the daring daily
said in part.
“We in America believe in
racial and religious toleration if
we believe in anything at all
that makes our civization dis
tinctive and Avorth preserving.
“There is a phase, of that,
however, which we don’t often-
think about. We think of the
injury done the innocent against
whom prejudice and ill feeling
operates. We don’t think often
enough of what intolerance does
to the person Avho lets it creep
into his being.
“Intolerance is a closing of
doors, a turning doAvn of lights,
a shutting out of vistas; it
shrinks and stulifies the mind
Avhich lets it flourish, injurying
the intolerant one prehaps more
than one against whom intoler
ance is practiced.’

CHoose Colors Wisely .
When Buying Clothes
As any fashion conscious
woman will tell you, color is
the most subtle element in good
taste, and an important factor to
I consider in choosing your clothes.
I You can cheapen the most lieauti-
' hiUy cut dress with the wronp; color
•nd you can kill your good looks with
«be same mistake.
There' is a lot to know about color
and a lot to feel, writes Elaine Neal
in the October Good Housekeeping
j magazine. It is easy, Miss Neal says
to like a color because it is pretty
land even easier to forget that the
I color does not go with your skin.
(Don’t confuse your favorite color
with your most becoming one; they
!are not synonomous. Buy your fa-
i vorite color when you buy flowers or
* curtains for your bedroom, but when
buying clothes, forget the favorite
and buy the booming. |
Generally speaking, Miss_ Neal
points out that light colors, with the
exception of white, are fattening;
bright colors too, are fattening and
[otherwise bad because their flara-
'*».>yance brings out undesirable fea
tures. But most important to re-
{;iiemter in your choice of colors are
I your skin, hair and eyes—jkin be-
ling the most important. White skin
calls for pure tones of medium
strength. Skin with a pink under
tone looks florid in purples and most
blues

IN THE SHADOW
OF THE STARS
gy PROF. ABBE WALLACE
if if it it it if*
R. E. A.—I am 27 and in love
with a girl 17. Her mother does
not like me and she has bepn
telling people that she is going
to poi.son me. N'oav I love the girl
and she loves me and she wants
to marry me too. Should I marry
her or not! '
Ans: That is a problem for
you and the girl to deride . . .
although I might add that she
is a Jittle young to be getting
married but if she feels that
she wants to make this vital step
in life now . . . there is no rea
son why she shouldn’t. Before
getting married, ^ry to gain the
confidence of the mother. Do
nice things for her, take,her
flowers or candy occasionally
and let her know that you are a
good honest man, and she will
change her mind about you. She
won’t stoop to poisoning you.
D. L.—I read and enjoy your
colum regularly. Tell me about
tny brother’s health, is it natural
Or not and is there any way for
him t.o get better.
Ans: Take your brother to
some good doctor there in the
city and have him looked over
carefully and treated too. He
needs medical attention . . . then
a change for the better will take
place no doubt. There has been
no harm brought on him by any
one . . . giA’e this thought up al
together.
E. W.—I have been going Avith
this man confidentially for some
time but noAv his actions are be
ginning to puzzle me. Should I
maiVy this man or Avait for a-
nother ?
Ans: Wait ... by all menas.
You certainly don’t Avant to en
ter marriage when you can’t
truthfully say that you loA’e and
trust the man you choose. GiA’e
youself enough time to deter
mine just AA’hat could be gained,
from marriage . . . else . . look
around f«r another friend.
E. S. L.—I am a hair dr-^^r
and I haA'e had a lots of threata
to come my way. Now I wish to
know if I continue on will any
harm come to me in my work?
Ans: None at all. Home of the
people there .seem to resent you
being able to work up a good
trade . . . they can’t harm you
in anyAA-ay except talking and
gossip. Continue with yoor work
pay any attention to their silly
before very long, people won’t
and you won’t have anfthinf' to
fear.
T. C.—This man T have been
being with s^ys that he is g«ing
to quite his wife and take me
for his wife. Tell me if he intends
to do this anytime soon?
Ans: He’s been promising that
he would make this change for
the last few months and he’s
still with* hLs wife. Sister I am
afraid that he inten& to stay
with her toq. If you Aiant a huit-
band, go with the single men
and leave these old boys alone
Avho already have themselyea
Avives.
R. S. S.—This young man that
I have been going with has nak
ed me to marrj' him but other
people .say he doesn’t mean ^y
good. Shall I continue on with
himT
Ans: For awhile yea . . . but
since you aren’t engaged, you
should be making some other«
friends too. He likes you quite a
bit, but he doesn’t seem to be
very demonstrative in his love.
Wait a few months before get
ting married.
V. K. M I 'have in mind to
take up music this vear and \rant
to knoAv if I could be sqeoeas-
ful in it I ~
Ans; The study of^ musiB«.will
help you throughout
I do think it Avould be^^i^ty
nice . . . although wjj
mastef it in a year’s tiin^
your study of musi(i noK: tind
