Roland Hayes Secret
Is Three Years Old

If reports from Boston. printed
in last weeks Afro American are
true, then this newspaper scooped
the country in publishing a first
account OF the marriage of Roland
Hayes. tenor to a Geargia school
teacher.
Still there isn't much TO crow
about here. II Mr.. Hayes has
been married three years, and
during all this time has lived with
his wife. who has borne him a
child which is thirteen months
old. this is evidence that newsnop-
ers muffed the romantic cDUft-
ship and marriage OF one Of bur
leading citizens.
Success OF Papa Hayes in keep
ing his secret for three years. Is
also an indication OF how isolated

HISTORY CONSCIOUS

2 That Negroes are generally be-
coming more conscious daily of the
important position they have made
for themselves in civilization oil
the world and its march OF pro

of Negro Achievement Week by the

WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY
SECRETARY SWANSON ExPLAI

| Secretary Claud A. Swanson, OF
the Navy, implied In letter TO
DR.. II. w. Brooks this week, that
the change In mess .attendents
at the Naval Academy from a
Negro personnel to Filipinoes was
for economy only. go. . .....
Filipinoes are enlisted men. and
by bringing them In mess attend
ants II would mean saving of
nine dollars n month for midship-
men who are required 10 pay this
amount monthly for the services
OF waiter. Since The FilipinoeS
are ON government payroll the
nidshipmen would not have 10
pay them.
On the other hand Secretary
Sawnson states that Filipinoes are
being supplanted by Negroes as
enlisted men as none OF the former
have been taken into service since
1880. He also states that the plan
is to bring Negroes back as mess
in period OF three OF
four years and then to send the
Filipinoes I'm an Asiatic station.
BY this method Negroes would be
employed as mess attendants at
the academy without the midship-
men being required TO pay for
I, their services because then the at
tendants would be in the service
In the mentime some $50 or
more evil employees at the academy
Will be thrown out OF work and no
doubt most OF them VIII be added
TO the ranks Of those on relief.
Furthermore Negroes are not
particularly interested in enlist
ing in the Navy because little or
nothing is offered I'm the line of
promotion. AS civilian employees
they will be free to quit when a
better job is offered without hav-
ing to serve a period of years
knowing that mess attendant is
the limit TO which they can aspire.
But II seems to be a peculiar
attitude to take in the face of the
New Deal. How can the admins
tration explain away the fact that
employed men are to be thrown
out OF work when there EXISTS a
state - unemployment? Can the
Honorable Secretary explain that?

This is the week OF Thanksgiving
We are busy making ready for It,
AS usual we are expecting COM
lpany. Those of our family who are
students will be with us for the day
and may stay through the week
end
Some OF our progressive and
courageous citizens have invited
1.-TWO of our great schools to play
their annual football game In De-
troit and they are coming
ed by many visitors from nearby
cities. We will have TO play host 70
thousands on Thanksgiving Day.
Our Michigan commission mer-
chants say that we must eat Michi-
gan turkey this year, as they have
decided not to buy any turkeys that
are not raised in Michigan. They
tell us that the Michigan turkey Is
the best--that II has been raised
scientifically on special diet-and
that there is an abundance OF
them, and we should by all means
patronize the farmers OF our State.
Well suppose we do, and let s
think again Suppose we place our
order for our Thanksgiving poultry
and all the trimmings and everything
else we eat that day with some OF
the merchants who live within our
house. We then will be equally as
consistnt as the commission mer-
chants of Michigan.
We will spend thousands OF dol
lar on Thanksgiving Day. II is true
that the depression is still with us,
but we in some way find money for
what we want TO do. Many will 60

ace with the outstanding causes OF
heir existence. Wilberforce that
mas some eighty years of history
was the first serious attempt upon
the part OF those who live within
our house to educate themselves.
For many years Wilberforce de-
pended entirely for its support on
what was given by the Negroes of
America. especially OH those who
belonged 10 the A. NJ h. Church.
There did come a day when Wilber-
force turned to the State of Ohio
aud appealed for help, and the
States answer was what is now the
State Normal Depart
ment.
West Virginia College is the
State OF West Virginia's answer as
to what it thinks about educating
the Negro. II Is youthful college,
but one that is making very fine
record In educating our people.
But what are we going to do with
these young people after we eau-
cate them? At present they are
leaving their colleges. diplomas In

We thank Thee God, for faith that's strong,
For hearts quick to forgive a wrong
We thank Thee for the gift of song
Which Thou to us hath given.
We thank Thee for Thy presence, God,
Which helps us bear the Christening rod,
As day, by day we upward plod
On the rugged road to heaven.
We thank Thee for the daily bread,
With which we by Thy hand are fed
And for roof above our head,
On this Thanksgiving Day.
Although our lives are full of care,
We thank Thee for the hope we bear,
Which helps us laugh at grim despair
AS we tread rocky way
