~THE CREEPER

Well thanks to you EW, OL
has taken JA off your hands.

Well here I am again back
again with a lot of trash. but
facts and you really. eat it up
looking for your name to ap~pear at any time fcr what you
are: putting down. And _ don~t
worry, we will get you in time.

Someone said that the Creéper is breaking up homes, weil
we believe that if the homes
are going to be broken it will
not be our fault for we know
of a dozen or more about to
come to the parting of the ways.and their name has never been
-mentioned in the Creeser.

AS you are quoted as saying
that Flint is too small for you
and that you are now slipping
out of town to do your wild
playing, Good deal Mobile until you are caught and you will
be. in time.

CQ you seemed to have rentedthe~ corner behind the piano
the other nite at the Royal Gardens,-with a.cute little dish too., Well it seems that IS and DF
are back together again but not
for -long if a certain chick is
right.

We notice EW at the Royal
Gardens again.with a very
lovely.young lady.

Also saw,. QR holding PH's
hand, of course it was. only

> friendship.

To whom -it may concern: HC

you and BS should get together more often, if BS would stop
trying to be a playboy you two
could | accomplish something..:
Signed: Kilroy~s wife.

BR, check up on PS.

JT you also had better leave.
our boys alone and stick to L.
D. or else you know the golden
rule: ~leave our. men alone.~

MW says Flint has _ played~
out as far as the female sex is
concerned and he is in earnest
about it too and being an accomplished playboy he should
know. He is now making week
end trips to locate, greener pastures.

CL: 18 sporting a_ beautiful
black she got for getting caught
~in the same place her old man
was playing.~

BD check up on SJ that is if
anything between you two and
unless that was your car and it
~was you I saw her with late
Monday~ night in lover~s lane.

What ~happened between the
love of DW and FC, it seems:
that one was to slick for the
other.

IV.is singing the. song ~I
ain~t got nobody steady but.I
play with them all.~

Play Boys, Play. Girls, you
are playing hard and long now
but your luck will run out and

then where you be.

Approves U.S.
Aid to Education

WASHINGTON ~ ANP ~The
senate public welfare subcommittze voted Monday to approve
a bill providing a federal grant
of $300 hundred million a year
~to the states for educational purposes.,

This* measure provides for a
minimum federal allotment to
each state. of $5 a child between
the ages of 5 and 17.

Expenditure of the funds _ is
left entirely to the decision of the
states except those states which
maintain separate educational facilities. for minority racial groups.
The latter statcs are required to
appropriate federal funds in a direct population: ratio.

The states also have the discretion as to whether aid should be
given to non-public schools such
as parochial institutions.

The bill~ emphasizes the fact
that.federal government will
Have no control whatever over
the expendtures. of. funds ~ by
states: and that departments.
agencies. officers and employes
of the U. S. are forbidden to direct, supervise, or control any
manner, or prescribe any frequirements ~with the methods of
instruction or to require any
change in any state constitution
as a preréquisite of benefitting
inder this measure.

The bill spenscred by Senator
Taft, Thomas, Hill, Smith, Cooper, Chavez and Tobey is expected to be approved by the full
committee and come to the floor
next month with the possibiliy
of action before the congressional
recess. =!

Discovered Synthetic Dye

For ages man has enriched his apparel and surroundings with color
and for centuries he has sought new
and better means of obtaining the
colurs he wanted. Until about 80
years ago, however, he had to depend entirely upon natural sources
~trees, roots, plants and insects. It
was not until 1856 that Perkin, @
young English chemist, produced
the first synthetic dye of commercial importance. Much has been
written about this epochal discovery
of Perkin~s mauve, for its effects
upon everyday life and science have
been far-reaching. It formed the
cornerstone of the dye industry we
have today.

p Eggs Rich in Vitamins

Eggs are important ~sources of
most of the essential vitamins, and
as with the minerals the yolk is the
richer in vitamins.. These vitamins
include riboflavin, which is essential
for health and vigcr; thiamin, also
called Bl, which steadies nerves; niacin, which helps in preventing and
curing pellagra;~vitamin K, an antihemorrhogis factor; vitamin A for
healthy body tissue and vitamin D
for promoting the best use of calcium and phosphorus.

and added that their place in society will be determined to some
extent by their language and behavior. ~
