THIS WORLD

habit of recording the news and its
significance, together with our per-
sonal reactions, is upon US again.
From time to time, under the cap
ton "This World, we will record
certain things in a kind of editorial
chat.
This newspaper is in it's fourth
month of publication. Public sup
port has been gratifying, substan-
tiating our theory that public sup
port would be Forthcoming to any
newspaper which gave the people
their moneys worth"
Some people praise the paper,
remarking = with reservations
"It's a good newspaper if it just
stays that way" Candidly, whether
or not a newspaper "stays that
way" or makes improvement should
be the deep concern of every citi-
zen of the community. If you want
your church to get out of debt, you
help it financially. If your lodge
needs help, you dig and dig in your
pocket to help keep your fraternity
going. If you want anything worth
while, you must pay for it. Just
"hoping" it will stay that way will
neither keep anything at a certain
standard nor allow for it's improve
ment.
Eleven years ago in Minneapolis,
Mrs. Jos. D. Bryan, now of Chi
cago, was trying to explain new
community project, a settlement
house. Many said nothing would
ever come of Mrs. Bryan's rather
quietly explained plans. Ten years
later, Phyllis Wheatley Settlement
House, the elimination of the
plans of which Mrs. Bryan talked,
celebrated it's tenth anniversary.
The center has become a vital
force in Negro community devel-
opment. On Oct. II, past, the
tenth anniversary of the project
was appropriately celebrated.
The unhealthy disposition of
some of US to knock or scout the
plans of the more forward think
ers and doors is a great hindrance.
AS person grows older, the full
realization of life and death comes
home. The people who died few
years ago were not close friends.
We knew them slightly because
they were of an older generation.
Now it is different. Around us,
every now and then, friends-close
friends-are beginning to drop by
the wayside. We are bereft. Life
is so brief, we wonder why thou
sands of people occupy so much
time attempting to deny other thou
sands of humans their rights to
the pursuit of peace and happiness
and the benefits thereof.
The expected resignation of
Robert Russo Motion as active ex-
ecutive head of Tuskegee Institute
has come. Tuskegee, which is un-
questionably Alabama's chief claim
to world attention, has prospered
under Motion. Some of US, rather
safe up north, have criticised Mo-
ton from time to time. Criticism
never seemed to bother him be-
cause, wise as he was, he knew his
work and did it. AS an educator
and proponent of interracial rela-
tons he was great. AS an advisor
to American presidents on the Ne
gro he was a failure since he had
not the craftsmanship attributes of

bill was before the Council for about one
year, it went to a committee and was
reported back to the Council. That some

the bill was passed was unfortunate.
Only three members were absent at that
time. And now Mr.. Chairman and gen.

now is the proper time WREN | should go
into little history as TO why the Gov

gems did not want rumshOps. members
in this Council made speeches against the
opening of rumshops, a certain promi-
nent citizen told me he would take the
platform and speak against the opening
Of rumShops. The Lieutenant Governor
took this stand: that il we prevent the
opening of rumshops it would be class
legislation, because the people in good
circumstance wouldgo to the clubs and get
what drinks they want and the poor peo'
pie would not be able to buy any; there
was exchange of opinion and the honor.

Needle Is
From Woman

Hagerstown, Md.-A needle she
swallowed several years ago was re-
moved from the arm of Mrs. Kate
Fechtig, e~ighty-two. 1t was black,
indicating that it had been in her
body a long time.
Mrs. Fechtig had been sick and
thought she had heart trouble. A
few days ago she discovered the
point of the needle ~petruding from
a lump on her arm.
Physicians believe the needle
routed through her body to her arm
and probably caused her ailment.
