TO WED TINY BRADSHAW?— Winifred Christine is busy
these days answering hundreds of calls resulting from a rumor in
Chicago to the effect that she is engaged to and will soon wed
the nationally kno.wn "Jersey Bouncing” Tiny Bradshaw. "Win
nie” told newspapermen this week that there was a possibility of
it happening but she would rather have it treated as a rumor
just now. The two have been "romancing” for many months in
bright spots and green parks around town. Bradshaw’s band is
currently appearing at the Rhumboogie Case here and "Winnie”
was a former dansuese at the Panther Room at which time she
won and wed Herbie Jeffries of “Flamingo” fame. (Press Photo

indicted On Race-
Fight Murder Charge
POLK COUNTY, lowa—Robert
B. Vanderer was acquitted this
week of a second degree murder
charge in the killing of Harold
McCasland here NAACP counsel
revealed this week. Vanderer who
was defended by N’AACP counsel
was acquitted by an all white jury

shows.
The case was tried on the theory
of the right of a Negro to attend
a place of amusement with the
same freedom enjoyed by any oth
er person. The court also ac
knowledged a Negro’s right to
defend himself if allegedly as
saulted.

AND
Hearbroken—l am going with
a boy in the service and I love
him more than anything else (ex
cept one thing( (smile). I have
tried to drop him but love won't
allow me to. If he doesn’t want
me why doesn’t he say so? He
knows I’m serious. Please answer
as I must know in time to get the
happiness every girl must have.
Ans: Now don’t you worry . . .
you will get your share of the
happiness every girl must have
and including that one thing,
(smile). But listen, you are too
darned anxious to trap a husband
and your service boy friend knows
it. Remember this sister . . . you
can lead a man to the altar by
his nose . . . but they refuse to
be pushed.
G. P. I am a married man
and really need help. Me and my
wife don’t seem to get alpng so
well at times. She says its me and
I say its her. She claims ehe
don't have any desire for me any
more. She don’t ever show the
love and otherwise to me like a
wife should ?
Ans: Why should she? You’ve
nagged at her since the day you
first married, with the result that
you have just about ruined your
chances for happiness. Wives like
to get some fun out of life . . .
and no woman could be happy
cooped up with a husband whose
chief stock in trade is a sour dis
position. If you love your Wife as
you say, why not prove it to her
by providing a few pleasures for
her.
M. L. T.—l am a girl of 18 :
years of age, a high school stu
dent. I want to know whether or
not I would be successful in stop- i
ping school and taking up a trade
in government service.
Ans: Better wait ’till next year.
Once you have your high eshool
diploma you will be ready to
tackle the government service. (
You can’t hope for much in the :
way of a government job without
aa high school education. ,
A. M. —A boy has been trying \
to go with me for over 4 years. I

and he wants to marry me. He

me to save it for him. What
about this?
Ans: Sounds like he means bus
iness . . . but don’t let him bribe
you with matrimony. Happy mar
riages are based on love and af
fection . . . not on money. If he’s
the only man in the world for
you . . . marry him. Otherwise,
wait ’till the right follow comes
along.
B. H. S. —This column is swell.
My husband lost his job and is
now working at a Barber Shop.
He can get a better job by pay
ing a large union fee. What do
you advise?
Ans: Take the better job. Soon
er or later he will be dbliged to
join a union . . . and now that he
is able good offer it
would the oppor
tunity. He fall back
on the old jjob. And too . . . the
extra dollars in his pay envelope
will soon compensate him for the
union fee.
W. M. C. —I hope you will find
enough room in the paper to
answer me. My friend is very
nice to me but he is so mean if
I go and laugh and talk with
others. He dislikes it and wants
to beat me about it. Please help
he. He has been my friend for
years.
Ans: Yes, and he knows you
better than you know yourself.
He knows how Impulsive you are
about yielding to temptations . . .
and to keep you on the straight
and narrow path ... he rules
with a rod of iron. By the way,
won’t he blow up when he hears
about the affair you are having
with the soldier.
