NOMINATIONS OPEN
FOR AWARDS FOR NEGRO
CREATIVE WORK

For the third consecutive year the
Harmon Foundation is receiving NOM
nations for colored Americans who
may be considered eligible for the
Harmon awards for distinguished
achievement among Negroes.
The purpose behind the awards,
which are administered by the Com
mission on Church and Race Rela-
tons of the Federal Council of
Churches, los East 22nd street, New
York, is to advance the development
of outstanding Negro contributions
to original creative thought and
achievement
1t is the hope of the Foundation,
according to William E. Harmon, its
president, that these awards may as
sist the American Negro in coping
with a dual handicap under which he
is laboring. t'In carving out a use
full position for himself in the Amer
lean community, the Negro is still
dealing with an emotional complex of
his own as well as with a prejudicial
attitude existing in society at large"
said Mr.. Harmon.
The Negro is himself inclined to
question, in many instances, his own
ability to do original creative work
of real value to the community and
the world. Today he is under the
necessity of building up in himself a
new faith in his own power, as well
as gaining recognition for his work
from society as whole"
In announcing the awards for
1928, the Harmon Foundation en-
phasizes that its concern is only in
the economic readjustment Of the
Negro as basis for his progress and
development
Seven different fields are covered
by the first and second awards offer
ed for Negro achievement, as follows:
Literature, music, fine arts, business
(including Industry, science (includ-
ing inventory, education, and reli-
gious service. The first awards in
clude an honorariun Of S400 and the
second OF 800, each carrying an APP
propriate medal
In addition, an award is offered to
a candidate regardless of race who is
deemed, in the opinion of the judges.
to have done outstanding work in
improving race relationships in the
United States, of which an announce
ment will be made later.
Nominations and applications for
the awards must be filed by the can
didate or his sponsors before August
Is, and the names of the successful
candidates will be made public in
January Of 1929. Forms for the
nominations may be obtained from
DR.. George E. Haynes, secretary of
the Commission on Church and Race
Relations.

INVOLVEMENT, BUT

1t would be difficult to get
along without phones, electric
lights and similar conveniences
having once become used to
them. But they can be dispens-
ed with when, or if, necessity
should compel. Our people in
this community expend hun
dreds of thousands of dollars
yearly for these conveniences,
and yet we are not given en-
ployment like other groups of
citizens by the firms and cor
porations selling these COM
modities. Reciprocity is the
fair thing. 1t would be incon-
venient to do without them, but
we can.

AMERICAN LEGION
MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN
WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN THE
AMERICAN LEGION"
e
By E. w. MCGOWAN
By E. w. MCGOWAN

1t is the consensus of opinion of
the "most brilliant minds of Ameri-
ca" that, .'the American Legion is
by far, the most powerful and serv-
iceable organization of its kind in the
world" This fact within itself, is
worthy of your careful and intelli-
gent consideration.
Is there any veteran of the world
war, so poor in spirit and patriotism,
that he is not proud of the part he
played in the greatest of all military
struggles since history began? Have
not we veterans justified pride in
our service? If any man were to as
sert that we had not played our part
as men and Americans, how quickly
we would resent it. The American
Legion offers the best opportunity
for you, comrade, to testify to the
world of your loyalty and service
during the war. The lapel button
of the Legion is notice to all, that
you did not fail when your country
called and that you still subscribe to
the patriotism and Americanism for
which the Legion stands. Without
the Legion button, the service man
has no method of differentiating him
self from the thousands who did not
go. He may have served, but no one
knows it-consequently, the world
finds it easy to forget him.
With the Legion button, you quiet
ly but effectively identify yourself
as one of Americas veterans and as
an active participant in the work of
"the worlds most powerful patriotic
society, which is dedicated to the
preservation of American principles.
You place yourself as both "a war
time and peace-time patriot" and as
a true American. Be proud of the
fact that you CAN join the LEGION.
Hundreds of thousands of young men
would rejoice indeed, if their lives
could be SO made over, that the Lee
gion might be opened to them. Those
who did serve, but up to the present
The monitor., 1928-02-24

time, did not realize the value of
that service they are sending in
their applications Big the hundreds"
They are proud that they answered
the CALL, and they want the world
to know it. The Legion's strength
and influence grow daily. With each
new success, it becomes stronger. Its
principles and service merit the world
wide popularity that it now enjoys.
1t is far better and easier to ''be in
the Legion" than to explain why you
are not.
The Legion invites you to share in
its comradeship and service to the
community. Don't be a STACKER

RACIAL BUSINESS

1t is gratifying that there is a
growing sentiment among us
for giving more liberal patron
age to our struggling race en-
terprises. Of course they have
not the capital to enable them
to compete in prices with the
heavily capitalized and sub
stantial business houses of long
standing; but giving what pa
tronage we can to the business
firms which have the goods we
need will help them to grow.
We can all do something to en-
courage and support racial bus
mess ventures of merit.
