The article by jim Mallory en-
titled Errors of Party in South on
Negro Question" which appeared in
the Daily Worker on May 81, was
received with a great deal of inter-

the article in an interested and seri-

The mistakes were stated by Com

in order to facilitate the speediest
correction of these opportunist err

honest person knows that people
who are convinced of the absolute
correctness of their fundamental

carrying out these aims. Serious
criticism and correction are thus the
only guarantee that the final aim

The progress of the Communist
Party in the South, particularly
among the Negro masses, has upset
the white ruling class and their
white and Negro henchmen. The
New York Age deliberately distorts

GIVE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR AUTO PARKING
[Continned from FIrn Paae1

LC0EfiHHed from First Page1
of the biggest traffic problems and
it can be successfully solved only
through the voluntary cooperation
of the great majority of people using
parking space in the community. All
persons who operate motor vehicles
should recognize their responsibility
to share the available facilities for
such use with all other operators.
Stopping a vehicle within a street
intersection or across a pedestrian
cross walk to receive or discharge
passengers or to run errands in ad-
jacent buildings is both unsafe and
unfair. No vehicle should be parked
or even stopped except in case of
emergency or to await the clearance
of traffic within street intersection
less than Is feet from the property
line extended at such a point any
where in the community. There is
seldom an excuse for a vehicle to
wait for traffic change within a
pedestrian cross walk. Nothing is
more unfair than for pedestrian to
have a "go" signal and to be pre-
vented from taking advantage of it,
by vehicle obstructing his use of
the cross walk.
The fire protection is one of the
best recognized community respon-
sibilities but it cannot be adequately
discharged if firemen must be ham
pered in their work by parked We
hicles that obstruct access to fire
hydrants or exits from fire stations.
No vehicle should be parked closer
than the prescribed number of feet
from fire hydrant or from the en-
trance to any fire station.
Double parking is an abominable
practice. Sometimes it results from
poor regulations of parking within
the district where it's practice makes
adequate parking space unavailable.
But all too frequently 1t results from
an unwillingness to be subjected to
a slight measure of inconvenience in
parking properly. The driver who
parks his car opposite another in the
street is frequently serving his own
convenience at the expense of many
others. No driver should engage in
this reprehensible practice of double
parking.

enue from the charters and 1t is
claimed the only source left is real

serious hardships on the residents
of the State.
The income from charters has
been in the past one of the chief
sources of revenue for the general

Many thousands of corporations
have been incorporated In Delaware
owing to the liberal terms and the

The new Federal Securities Act
places such responsibility on the di-

who handle securities are hesitating
to issue them. This act makes cor

stockholders even for unintentional
omissions in giving information to
clients. Those selling securities are
held responsible for such securities

First, Aunt Mary gathered to.
gether many lovely magazine pic
lures. Then, Junior was invited to
help make scrap book for the hos
pital children. He worked eagerly.
Aunt Mary and he made up short
stories and printed them under the
pictures. Each successful oper-
alton was encouraged. Aunt Mary
read some of the stories to Junior.
Junior took his turn and read some
out loud to Aunt Mary. He showed
particular interest in wild ami
mails and birds, so Aunt Mary
bought him book of true stories
about animals. The text was simple
and he learned to read it easily.
Then she planned situation
where Junior would put into prac-
tice what he had read. She arranged
party, inviting the younger chill
dren of the neighborhood to blow
soap bubbles. Junior was to sur
prise guests. He impersonated diff
ferent animals and delighted the
children by dramatizing the stories
in his book. The youthful guests
gave vigorous applause and begged
for more. Thus Aunt Mary encour-
aged, assisted and celebrated sue
cess.
Aunt Mary then wrote Junior lit
tie secrets. She mailed them to him.
They were such as this: Get some
feathers in your hand. Open your
hand and blow the downy feathers
with all the breath that is in you.
Think what they do! Did you find
out something you had never known
before?" These were the little
sticks of dynamite with which Aunt
Mary caused the mental explosions
that come in the discovery of things
seen for the first time. Then she
brought home book on Feathers"
She didn't even have to suggest to
Junior to read it. He was eager
for it.
Here's Aunt Mary's secret. Give
a child direct contact with nature,
arouse his curiosity and then ex-
tend experiences through reading.
Never say, Here's book; you must
read it," Understand your child,
enter at his door and guide him out
through yours.
One day later on, Junior slipped
his youthful hand into Aunt Mary's
and confided, Aunt Mary, ! am lit
tie but 1 can do things"
Aunt Mary smiled knowingly as
we'll as happily, for now she was
assured that Juniors self-confidence
had been restored.
