GARNER FROM TEXAS
MILLS BROTHERS
DIARY OF ONE DAY
Cecil e. Newman

The Democratic presidential ticket
lost much of its appeal to Negro vot-
ers when John Garner was nominated
for vice-president. The independent
inclined Negro voters of the border
and northern states are not prepared
to vote in great numbers for man
from Texas. This will seem to some
of our white friends, a narrow view
point but if they know Texas and how
the state treats its darker brethren,
they will understand
Many people thought we were in
sane when we predicted that many
Negroes will vote the Communist
ticket this year. If what we hear in
meetings and on the streets is any in
diction, we were ribht A good many
will vote that way. We repeat what
we said in this column early in June,
Many : : votes will be cast by Ne.
gro voters (for the Communists) tired
of the indifference of the national G,
o. p; afraid to trust the southern
dominated Democrats :.
Great numbers of Negroes voted for
"Al' Smith, because his vivid person
ality appealed to them despite the
presence on the ticket with him o.
Robinson of Arkansas. The same
will not be true in the case of Roose-
yelt for he has not the appeal of "the
Happy Warrior.
Negro Youth is not waiting for OPP
portunity. 1t is not waiting for
breaks" it is making them. There
is much said about the wildness OF
modern youth, and it is wild, but much
must be said about the way it is
crashing into front page position and
big money.
The four Mills brothers who are
playing a local theater are examples
of the Negro youth who won't take no
for an answer. Two years ago these
boys were unknown. today they earn
$4,000 per week from the Publix the
ater people and at least $4,000 per
week for a radio broadcast Not one
of these boys has reached his 25th
birthday These boys did not sit back
and whine about lack of opportunity,
nor did they allow the elders to tell
them what they could not expect to
do They went right ahead, devel-
oped something original and are now
cashing in on it handsomely. If they
are conservative and save some Of the
money they are virtually coming, they
will have no wearies when the public
tires of their wares. We have reason
to believe that the four young men
are sensible and wise. The N Y.

their phenomenal success cited the
fact that Immediately their radio eff

A Sermon for Today
By REV. JOHN R. GUM.
The Forgotten God.

"Ot the Rock that begat thee thoa
art unmindtul, and hast forgotten
God that formed thee."-Deuteronomy
xxxii 18.
One of our very thoughtful writer's
speaks of the pride we Americans take
In our placement on the earth. In our
national anthem we joyfully sing OF our
rocks and rills." our woods and
tempted hills" But, as this writer re-
minds us, while glorying in the "lano
of the Pilgrims pride" and our prlde,
we are today forgetting the God VINO
gave us this land for a heritage:
It is right that we should praise our
native country. But, lest we 1orget,
it is well to emphasize the fact that IL
is much more praiseworthy in us to
show our gratitude to the Creator for
our placement, by a strict adherence 10
the truth and the laws and principles
of Justice on which our Government was
founded. In the light of the previous
history of the world, it is evident That
God reserved this land of ours to be the
home of free, just and righteous peo-
pie. Are we today remembering Him and
the great purpose He designed to fulfill
through us?
The fathers established justice when
they 1OunQeQ Gne OnlIcu OIdOCo Va
America, and they did so as unto God.
They saw and appreciated the great
land into which, through the providence
of God. they had been brought; and
they resolved in the beginning that they
would not forget Him, but would seek TO
build here in America nation tnat
would be an honor to His name.
In forming the Constitution by which
the country should be held and kept for
them and their posterity, our fathers
never lost sight of God. Throughout
their deliberations in the constitutional
convention, they never took their eyes
off the Almighty. When they declared
their independence from the mother
country, they appealed to the supreme
Being" the Judge of all the World, |"
for the rectitude of their intentions.
And when they signed the Declaration
of independence, they did 1t as before
God, declaring equality, liberty and
| freedom" the inalienable rights bestowed
on man by the Creator. The founders
of the American Republic were men who
reverenced God, and in framing the
| Constitution they sought to incorporate
in it the justice and Righteousness Of
! God.
| As we observe American life today,
| it Is evident that we have drifted far
! from the religious faith and spiritual
| ideals of our fathers. While many Of
our people still cling to God, there are
multitudes who seem to have forgotten
Him

bright red eyes and the females yellow.
This seems to be one thing in its IA

identify natures children when you
meet them. The markings of black,
dark brown and yellow are so variable
that it is not always easy to know which
box turtle is which.
Nature has provided the box turtle
with protection seldom equaled. The

the portals once the owner has closed
the doors. In fact. no animal can en-

while man could pry the doors open,
there would be no reason to do so.
There is only one time that he can
not close his house up completely and
that is after he has eaten too many
berries, slugs, earthwormS and vege-
tables. He is too portly, and his but
tons Just won't meet From the time
berries are ripe, his face is stained with
the Juice; you can tell by the rouge on
his face Just what kind of berries he
had for breakfast.
This turtle is abundant in the New
England States, to South Carolina, in
elusive, and westward to Kansas.
Travelling about is a case of going from
one market place to another, and this
turtle does not trouble himself to dig a
permanent burrow. In the Winter he
goes into the soft earth, well below the
frost line, and sleeps until berry sea-
son arrives.
Meeting a turtle unexpectedly is to
be greeted with loud hiss and his
doors closed in your face. After short

Of textile is that instead of being a
straight length of paper the textile ones
have the end portions which turn in
side, scanned along the top. These turns
are but q few inches wide. They form
pockets into which the covers of maga-
zines or books are slipped, thus keeping
the jackets on securely. Paper jackets,
as you know, slip off easily. They are

to stay on They protect book covers.
They do more on magazines, for they

About a magazine or book fold a strip
of paper cut the right width and long
enough to fold inside the covers little
more than half the distance to the back.
Here is the pattern, just straight
strip of paper when taken off the book.
It is important to fit the pattern about
the book when closed, as more length
is required to go about closed book
than an open one. A textile cover
should fit well about q C5S;==zz;ii book.
