BETWEEN US GIRLS
BY TAKIE KUSUNOKI
  I'm not denyin' the
women are foolish:   God
Almighty made 'em to
match the men.
-George Eliot
RE:  CLOTHES
  Talk about the riotous
colors used in wimmin's
clothes...take a good look
at the screwy color combi-
nations in some of the knit-
ted caps worn by our mas-
culine friends.   And then,
quick-like-a-flash, reach
for your dark glasses.
SO ON....
  That the center clothing
store sells many, many more
articles of clothing to men
and boys than to wimmin and
girls,  we announce with
pride and considerable sat-
isfaction after too many
years of bad jokes about
feminine extravagance.
...AND SO FORTH
  Margaret Fishback has
sagely observed that "two
inches off a slim girl's
skirt may be all right;  but
take two inches off the
skirt of a squat, middle-
aged matron, and what have
we got?   A hydrant."
ADDENDUM
  What's a dissertation
on wimmin's clothes without
some mention of wimmin in
slacks?   The combination
makes strong men shudder
and weak men wonder what
it's all about.   But we
gals like 'em.   Period.
SECOND CALL
  Please, please do your
Christmas shopping and mail-
ing early.   Shopping days
number now only 9, and the
time left for mailing same
is even less.   Incidental-
ly, have you bought Christ-
mas seals?
Jr. Matrons
Hold   Social
  The newly-organized Jun-
ior Matron group of the
YWCA will hold a social
Thursday.
  All women of this age
group are invited to attend
and meet with the wives of
the administrative officers
and Caucasian teachers.
LEGION OUSTS JAPANESE
  SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.-
Resolutions to cancel the
charters of California's
two Japanese American Le-
gion posts were to be en-
acted Monday, Dec. 7, at
the Legion's executive com-
mittee sessions, according
to a story released by the
INS agency here.
  Declaring that "there
is no place for Japanese,
supposedly loyal or other-
wise, in the Legion," Comdr.
Leon Happel said that the
California department would
eliminate all Japanese mem-
bers.
EXAMINATION OF ILL
CHILDREN ASKED
  With 25 cases of chicken
pox in the center,  parents
are asked to have their
children examined when they
become ill, Dr. G. A.Duffy,
chief medical examiner, an-
nounced Tuesday.
  Children with small pox,
scarlet fever, or any other
communicable disease create
a serious health hazard and
will be quarantined until
such time as discharged by
the    attending   physician,
Dr. Duffy stated.
  Quarantine signs will
be placed where children
are sick, but one or the
other parent will be per-
mitted to go to work.   Dr.
Duffy urged that block ma-
nagers cooperate in enforce-
ing the quarantine rules
in their respective blocks.
MAILBOXES
AID POSTMAN
  Residents are asked to
make and hang up mailboxes
for the prompt delivery of
mail, according to the
Amache post office.
  The boxes should be
placed at such a position
that the children will not
tamper with the contents.
Mail will be delivered once
every afternoon except Sun-
days.

mer chief physician at the

ISSEI  LIKE
ENGLISH
  A class where you receive
little homework, sing Xmas
carols to improve diction
and pronunciation, and hold
after-class discussions of
social, domestic, and re-
ligious problems.
  This is the liberal edu-
cation policy being carried
out by the issei English
classes of the adult educa-
tion department.   And a
good way of learning it is,
according to the 161 adults
under the instruction of
Ross Okura, Tadahito Shi-
zuoka, and Aiko Kobuke.
  The teachers have found
that in both the beginners’
and advanced classes there
is the some marked diffi-
culty on the part of issei
in distinguishing between
the "l" and "r" consonants
and in omitting the "th",
"f", and “v” sounds.
