Brings out the pores, A pink shade around it does the most for your complexion. These are hints from Movie Cameraman Alton's forthcoming volume, "Painting with Light." "Lighting properly used is cosmetic," John assured me. "It has a hypnotic force, it is visual music. To look her best, a woman should surround herself with soft, diffused . light and avoid harsh eross lights. Another thing. She shouldn't place candles too low, They'll throw rings under the eyes." ... I asked Mexico's Alfonso Bed oya whether, in "Border Inci dent," he's playing another bad man. His face lit up toothily like one of Alton's floods. "With these face, I can be nahtheeng but that" ... J. Carrol Naish thinks pro ducers' profit problems are "the greatest thing that ever happened to the industry. Now the movies will really start to do something." Also that Hollywood is too much awed by British product, just as women are by anything with a Paris label. "We do just as great things here." Six more weeks of singing strenuously to Al Jolson's sound track in "Jolson Sings Again," jests Larry Parks, and "I think I'll have a nervous breakdown."

To give it a healthy hue in close ops on the color film, Lar ry sucks red cherry lozenges for five minutes while the company stands by. The greatest rest he could have after the picture is finished, Larry said, would be to start right in on an independent production of his own. No more of those nice guy parts for Bill Holden, like his current part in "Dear Wife" and the pre ceding "Dear Ruth." Says Bill: "You don't work hard enough. You walk in, smile, take the toothpick out of your mouth, and say, 'You shouldn't have shot him'." But Paramount is plan ning a third in the series, "Dear Mom." When they hand him the assignment, Bill says, "That's when the Fourth of July and I will blend together" meaning he'll declare his independence. Vic Mature had just signed up for a $100,000 annuity when 1 looked in on the "Red, Hot and Blue" set. He pays $4,963 a year for 19 years.

Business Women Hear Address on Cancer Dr. M. B. Morey. Morehead Citv physician, spoke to members of the Carteret Business and Profes sional Woman's club on cancer at their monthly meeting Tuesday in the Methodist Educational Ihiild ing, Beaufort. Dr. Morey was introduced by Mrs. Lucy Whitehurst who had charge of the program. The doctor stated that cancer hi the No. 2 killer in the nation but that the disease, if detected oarly enough, is curable. Dr. Morey told the women that cancer occurs when cells, of which body tissue is composed, grow abnor mally. If this growth is localized, a tumor results, if it is infiltra tive in nature, cancer results. Forty-five per cent of fatal cancer is located in the digestive tract, 20 per cent in the organs of women. Cancer is on the increase be cause people are living longer, Dr. Morey said. Also, it seems more prevalent now because there are better methods of diagnosis and doctors know now that it is the cause of death rather than being mystified about the cause of death. Rute of cancer incidence in the female is higher than in the male. but the age f 45 and above is the age to be on particular lookout for the disease, lie remarked. Dr. Morey explained that recog nition of symptoms of cancer is extremely important and that pa tients should rigidly follow the doctor's orders. Following his address, the bus iness session whs conducted by the president, Mrs. Grace Ayscuc. The group endorsed a resolution approving of the State Education commission's report on education. This resolution will be forwarded to H. S. Glbbs, Carteret's repre sentative in the legislature, and also to other Business and Pro fessional Women's clubs in this district, with the request that they take similar action. The group decided to compile a cookbook containing recipes giv en by each member in the club. This cookbook will be sold as a souvenir at the state convention which will be held in June at At lantic Beach. A letter of appreciation for flowers sent to Mrs. George Hen derson was read. Mrs. Herder son, a member of the club, is con fined to the hospital with a brok en ankle. " The next meeting, March 22, will be in charge of Miss Lucille Rice. OBITUARIES Mrs. Esielle F.Gabriel l-t.

C Some times Phil Hightower thinks he is living in a revolutionary per iod. Certainly, he believes, the social and economic changes about him have taken place over the past five years too rapidly 10 be evolu iionary. Hightower (the name is ficti tious), who is pi'ospei ing us never before in his 4(i years as a small businessman, isn't at all sure he is happy about it. His prosperity is part of an upheaval, economic and social, which began about If, years ago and which was given tremendous impetus by the war. Hut without this economic change, he thinks, he would never have hud to dice what is known as the "Negro problem." High tower's quandry confronts white men throughout the South. Industries have accelerated their movement southward. Many are in the farm belt. They bring utiidert unin organizeri and others with alien views Now 7f per cent of the South's farmers are landowners, un in crease over the 1.1 your period of oughly :u) per cent. The number of sharecroppers in 1:1 southern states declined fil.l per cent tmong whites, :il.: per cent among Negroes in the 15 years. The number of Negro funnels in the South dropped LM.fi pel cent while, the number of white fanners dropped only ,r.l per cent. For an eight-year period mi gration drained 0(1(1, 000 people from the South, including around 7(10,000 Negroes. In Hightower's county, thousands of Negroes left the farm and the South. The movement began slowly, reached high speed in I'M;! jn Hightower's county. Many Negro farm tenants, he said, began hear ing of high paid war jobs avail able in the cities around lit ill. They drifted to the cities. As the Negro left the farm, the white landowner, left with out labor supply he always thought inexhaustible, was driv en to mechanization. This popu lation shift has left towns such as Hightower's worried. For five years the Negroes have had steady jobs but now many are forced to seek part time work. Hightower foresees a . day when mass unemployment among Negroes will placea tre mendous burden on his little town's welfare agencies. Many Negroes in recent months, High tower says, have told him they would like to return to the land but their places have been taken by the machine. Once the population of High tower's town ' was divided two whites to one Negro. Now the proportion is about even. In 1940 there were 2,715 farms in the county. Today there are 2,4!)2. Most of these farms had any where from one to 20 tenant fam ilies. The amount of land in farms decreased from 318,990 acres to 277,004.

In his lifetime, Hightower has seen establishment in the city of two textile mills with a total weekly payroll of around $100, 000 split among 2, 500 employes. In recent years, Hightower says there seem to be a good many more '.'uppity Negroes," mostly among the young ones who went off to war or who lived up north for a while. "Now," he continues, "I'm not against the Negro in his place. What is his place? Well, I Ruess you've fot to live down here all your life to know. "Take when my father died. He'd lived here all his life and held public office most of the time. When they had his fu neral he was laid out in state at the home. Hundreds of Ne groes came to view his body and they gathered in the back yard. The white folks, of course, gathered in the front." Asked if he believed the white race superior to the Negro, High tower replied: "No, not exactly. It's kind of hard to define. There are a good many Negroes here who are a lot smarter than some white folks I know. There are three doctors, a dentist, an insurance man and an undertaker, for example, who are smart as whips and I treat them s politely as anyone else. "lint when my children arc sick," Hightower went on, "I don't send for thein. They do all their business, except at the hank, among Negroes. "Now don't get me wrong, I was in New York last year and I sat next to a Negro at a play. I didn't niiii. I a hit, but I wouldn't do it down here. It just isn't done, besides, no Negro would try it." When President Truman urged passage of civil rights legislation Hightower said he felt personally hurt and ihat such an act "might let the Negro get out of hand completely." Hightower voted the States' Kights ticket, he said. "W e are resentful of outside in terference," he said. "We can solve this problem ourselves. 1 beiieve we are doing it. 1 think organizations such as the Nation al Association for the Advance ment of Colored People only stir up trouble. "The Negro doesn't want social equality and the Negro knows if he gets into trouble the white man is going to help him out, not his own folks. "Why, look what has hap pened down here in the last 20 years," Hightower said.

"I also think we give the Ne gro justice. Look what hap pened down in Wetumpkn, Ala., where they gave two white inen 45 years apiece for raping a Negro woman." Hightower, who finished at the University of South Carolina and married a school teacher, pride himself that he reads two news papers, rather thoroughly. He sub scribes to Newsweek and his wife takes Life and belongs to the Hook of the-Month Club. "I don't think we are isolation ists down here," said Hightower. "1 think sentiment is with the Marshall 1'lnn. We have a preach er who talks about the Chinese situation, too. "We are Methodists and the Methodists have done a lot of missionary work in Chinn."
