MRS. SINGLETON IS RECENT GRADUATE A LOYAL AND FAITHFUL WIFE SAYS ILLUSTRIOUS HUSBAND By O. Singleton Mrs. Hattie A. Singleton, the former Miss Hattie A. Mentor of Hermanville, Miss. graduated from Municipal College last week at the age of 67. Mrs. Singleton was one of the Christian Institute of Edwards, Miss. She taught in the county schools of her county for four years, and helped her mother and brothers on the farm during vacation period, at which she was very successful. She was married in 1894 and came on her honey moon to Louisville, Ky. and entered State University, now Simmons University, and in addition took a special course in piano music under Prof. Bell, at that time considered the best in Louisville. Such activities were considerably interfered with by increasing family duties, as twins were born in less than two years, and three other children were born in rapid succession. However she continued her music, and thus was able to start all her children in music at a very early age, and soon she had a school of her own on hand and very apt pupils in the person of her own children whom she was able to assist and guide and direct until they finished high school and went off to college. Only three of the five children survived, Annie Louise, Alzada, and Eunice Singleton, each of whom graduated from the Scientific Course of Wilberforce with highest honors. Annie Louise, now Mrs. Newhouse also graduated in music, millinery, and dress-making and is now supervising matron of The National Home Finding Society, after having taught for five years in Danville, Ky. and Taft, Oklohoma, where she married Prof. R.

Discrimination Hit
DISCRIMINATION GETS [HARD?] BLOW NEW YORK [GOVERNOR?] HITS RACE AND RELIGIOUS PREJUDICE Albany, N.Y., June 15--Gov. Herbert H. Dehman struck [sharply?] last week at racial and [religious?] discrimination. He enacted into law bills passed by the 1939 [Legislature?] which: 1. Prohibit discrimination [because?] of race, color or [creed?] against persons who patronize or frequent retail stores and establishments, beauty parlors, public halls and elevators. 2. Permit persons denied appointment or promotion in the State or local civil service on racial or religious grounds to appeal to the State or local Civil Service Commission. Lehman said the civil [service?] measure "provides effective [machinery?] for the elimination [of?] racial discrimination in the [public?] service". After a hearing on an [aggrieved?] person's appeal, the commission is authorized to [order?] "appropriate relief," if [satisfied?] that considerations of [race,?] color or creed have resulted [in?] the dismissal or refusal of [promotion?]. "There is at present in the civil service law no provision directed against discrimnatory [practices?]," he said. "This is [a most?] important omission. No [illegible] [should?] be spared to make [our?] civil service system a [career?] service founded on basic [democratic?] principles. This bill goes [far?] toward achieving that end." He vetoed a simular bill which would have required an official making an appointment from a civil service list to explain his rersons for failing to appoint the first person on the list, and particularly to state that reason of race, color or religion did not influence the choice. Lehman vetoed a bill which [would?] have denied protection of [the state?] Labor Relations Act to unions practicing discrimination. "Well-grounded fears have been expressed by many that this bill, if approved would go far toward destraying the essential rights of organized labor," he said.
