BAR GIVES TIPS
FOR WITNESSES
SERVING a-s a witness in court
is one of the most important
civic duties a citizen may be
called upon to perform. When
contacted with a request to tes-
tify, every i»erson should try to
comply, if for no other reason than
that the fate of a case of his own
may someday hinge on the willing-
ness of another to come forward
and tell what he knows.
^awyers know that a witness
does not always have a happy time.
It may not always be convenient
to leave his job or home and spend a
day in court. But some day the
shoe may be on the other foot. Peo-
ple who refuse to volunteer ns wit-
nesses for others are, in the last
analysis, injoHni themselves.
It Is not always easy to be an
able and truthful witness. Your
answers may be objected to at every
turn by an opposing counsel—ami
properly so. There will be many
piestions that may confuse an un-
thinking witness. The law's insis-
tence on compliance with the rules
of e<-id«»n«,» Is necessary but often
confusing to the uninitiated.
A properly prepared witness Is
betrer able to meet, the impact of
cro«<-exauiiaation. That is why able
trial lawyers carefully Instruct each
wltn^sfl on proper courtroom proce-
dure Here are eight golden rules
to follow if you are ever summoned
to court. They make the differ-
ence between success or failure on
the witness stand.
1. Never argue with the opposing
• unsel, or flare up in anger. You
are helpless the moment you lose
your self-control.
2. Talk slowly on the witness
stand—regardless of your natural
rate of speaking. A slow spoken,
deliberate witness* who will not
be stampeded or diverted into side
paths, is disconcerting to a rapid-
fire toss examiner.
3. Take pains to listen attentive-
ly to each question. Never guess at
the meaning of a question. Don't
be ashamed to state frankly, "I
don't know."
4. Don't b«» long-winded. Give no
more information than is asked.
Brief, to-the-point answers have
their own rewards.
5. Stick to the facts. You're on
safe ground so long as you tell only
what you saw—not what you think
Have You Met...
HARRY V. KI RNS
By DOROTHY M. PICKETT
I? I KM convictions, based on
* principles of an organiza-
tion, usually show themselves
in an individual's declining
years, especially when those
convictions are firm enough to
cause one to do something ubout
them. This has not been the case
with Harry Burns. A young mau,
he was thoroughly convinced with
the program of XAACP while he
was still in high school, and since
that time he has not only maintain-
ed active membership in the or-
ganization. but has been instru-
mental in getting others to join. In
fact, iu 1940. he organized the first
college chapter of XAACP in Tex-
as. This was done at Tillotson
College, and he served as its pres-
ident for three yeaTs.
His work with the organization
had a three-year Interlude while he
served with the United States army.
Thirteen months of that time was
spent In the Kuroitenu thwtfre. of
operation. Returning to hi» na-
tive home, Seguln, he reactivated
that community'* youth program us
adviser.
Burns moved to San Antonio in
1047. He immediately became affil-
iated with the San Antonio branch
XAACP and was elected secretary
of the group the same year. Two
years later he was elected to the
presidency. His activities with the
XAACP are not just local, for, in
1051. lie was elected state youth
director, a position which he now
holds. He serves the local group in
the same capacity, and is i>erpe-
trating a very effective program.
The local youth group Is organ-
ized into several interests groups,
and, last summer, a representative
from this group, was sent on au
"Experiment in International Liv-
ing" project In Ubilfthd. Plans are
now in the inning yto send two
youths to Kucampmfnt for Citizen-
ship at Riverdale^ Sew York. His
iuterest lu tho iu-o*r«ui is
based on the "onlym ma
we are able to pejorate a youth
program will the tyganizatlou con-
tinue to grew."
Burns is an active member of
Second Baptist church; a student
at St. Mary's university, and a
member of the University club. He
serves with the Commission on
Youth Work of the San Antonio
Council of Churches, and Is a mem-
ber of F. and A. M. Lodge No. 101.
Mr. and Mrs. Burn^ and their two
children, Estelle Louise and Wal-
ter Meredith, live at 4l!3 Belmont

"The Good Old Days"
OF course, we nil know that
medical science in grand-
mother's day wasn't what it is
today. But tRn you imagine a
tuberculosis patient taking a
class of whlrti'.v ns medicine? It
seems hnrd to lirlicvp, Bnok in "lite
sond old dnys" some doctors really
thoURlit alcohol could cure TB, It
was only one of ninny "cures" that
sound ft rn ncc to ns.
In tlie early days of this century
the stnto of knowledge nbout TB
was confused, to sny the least. The
cerin Hint causes TB iind been dis-
covered. What to do about the dis-
ease Itself was a subject for hot
debate among the doctors.
The use of alcohol In TB treat-
ment dated hack many years. Home
doctors prescribed just a little wine
ns tonic or to stimulate the appe-
tite. Their patients needed a hearty
appetite, since they were often
urged to ent huge meals with
between-nieat snncks of quarts of
milk anil dozens of cites. Other doc-
tors had their patients drinking a
pint of whiskey a day.
Most, of the physicians who rec-
ommended alcohol did it because
they sincerely believed It would
help their patients. Some, perhaps,
were willing to try anything. Oth-
ers, believing that TB was a lio|ie-
less disease, felt the patient might
as well drown his sorrows.
But tlie picture began to change.
In 1004 a group of doctors and
laymen who refused to believe that
TB was hopeless, founded an organ-
ization to study TB, to spread
knowledge about It, and to encour-
age its prevention and scientific
treatment. Today, 50 years since
the founding of the National Tu-
lierculosis association, we know
that TB can be cured with good
medical treatment. I>rugs of proved

G. Never hesitate to admit frankly
that you don't remember certain
physical fncts such as measure-
ments, distances or colors.
7. Never, never, memorize a story.
First, it will sound too pat: second,
the moment a slight dent is made,
the whole structure collapses.
8. Don't be forced luto a "yes"
or "no" answer. If you can't hon-
estly answer a question yes or no,
say so and ask that It be reworded.
No court system can work with-
out witnesses. Persons who object to
testifying in court when they pos-
sess valuable evidence are simply
weakening a system of justice de-
signed to protect them as individual
citizens.

to enioy a frosty bottle of refresh-
ing Coca-Cola.
When you're working toward a cli'«mpion-
ship fight, it's easy to take yourself too
seriously, get too wrapped-up in your work,'
and lose perspective. That's why champions
in all sports find it a refreshing idea to stop
on the job for a frosty bottle of delicious
Coca-Cola. They know that the minute you
spend to "pause and refresh" with a bottl^ of
Coke is a minute well-taken from routine. How
about you? Ever get so involved with what
you're doing that you lose sight of yourself?
When that happens ... take a break. Get
yourself a frosty bottle of Coca-Cola, and
work ... or play..". refreshed.
