Worried Matron Appeals To
Sue Leaf For Needed Counsel

Dear Miss Leaf:

I have a problem that is worrying me to distraction and

I don~t know what to do.

Jack and I were forced to mar

I know I am running ahcad but
I am nearly crazy. I will start

my husband end we live with his
folk as he Goes not make erough
to maintain a separate hone.

He has suggested that we separate for six months and after then,

-Maybe we can get along. He stays

out until all hours of the night ard
we quatrel all of the tims. I left
him twice but I had to go back

Jack "hus 5 intimated that | he ~does
not want you so why do you want
to stay? If a man loved his wife,
he certainly would not want her
somewhere eke, with his child,
shifting for herself.

I would suggest that you leave
him and the baby. Get yourself a
job and forget about. him. Go to
see the kid when he is not/ around
and enjoy your freedom, This _ is
suggesting lots because the baby

is imprinted on yeur heart, but un-.

less you can leave the baby, don~t
move.

Den~t try to take care of yourself |

and the child, relieving him of all

responsibilities, He belengs to him, |

too.

If you decide to stay, be indifferent to what Jack does and don~t
nag him. He will probably change
if he sees that you are not wearing your heart on your siecve any
longer.

If this does not. work, ask your

PRENTISS, Miss.~(SNS)~
-' The next biennial session of the
Southeastern Federation of Colored
Women~s Clubs will be held in Jackson, Mississippi,. July 12-14. Every
club in this region should begin
now to prepare to send as many
representatives as possible to this
meeting.

This_ region comprises the states
of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi,
Tennessee, Louisiana, Virginia, West
Virginia, Florida, North and.South

The. following letter from the
president explains clearly the work
and shows the great need of every
club woman~s support at this meeting:

Dear Co-Worker: }
I am delighted to greet you, each
and every one as we face conditions

never seen. You represent the deep
south which is a part of a great
nation whose very freedom is endangered. The challenge to us as
citizens and as a group is to make
a definite contribution to the preservation of that heritage..
~Throughout our broad land we
can hear, see and feel the call and
need to render service in the Defense of America. Well might we
from time to time stop and consider eas ame the part we play as

women in this big and important
matter. What ca nwe do as a Southeastern Federation of Clubs? It
seems to me that our collective effort in this fight will depend on
the kind of individual support we
ive.. The Southeastern has its work
divided into ~Departments, which
give more women an opportunity
to labor and prevent loss of time
and effort resulting from overlapping.

The next biennial session will be
held in Jackson, Mississippi, during
the month of July. The dates are
12-14. We hope to open on Sunday
at 3 o~clock with a Mass Meeting.
A little later you will receive more
information. Heads of the various

Departments and Chairmen of Com- |.

mittees are at work on re
ports to be made at this meeting.

Subjects to be considered are: Edu
