domestic labor nor to walters and
train porters, in which callings
most of the husbands of the do
mestics try to earn a living. This
should give pause to most of us.
It did not, however, give pause
to a group of young fellows I saw
recently having hilarious time on
prominent corner (and not Sixth
Avenue North, either) obstructing
traffic and slowing up trade for
the business on the corner. In the
neighborhood of twenty years of
age, and too smart to waste more
time in school, most of their noisy
talk was of dancing and women.
When sixty-five comes round they
will be among the pensionless class,
recipients of a dole. And, too, at
sixty-fve one finds no satisfaction
in playing the fool on street cor
ners and one presents a pitiable
figure on the dance floor.
And in the meanwhile, taking the
Negro population of the country as
a whole, there is a great dearth of
doctors, dentists, lawyers, expert
agriculturists and q host of other
well paying satisfying professions
to which bright young men and
women may apply themselves. But
the rub is that in order to qualify
for one of these, ones time must
be given to arduOus study in some
college institution or as an appren-
tice in some business enterprise !;
rOwdyism must give place to hard
sustained work and "cream puffs
can't take it,"
But don't believe that all the
"cream puffs" are found among the
careless young.
A number of our women who
spend much of their time in the
delights of whist or bridge might
well give some part of it to consid-
Grafton of this social security leg
islatiOn; the unemployment prob
lens facing so many of their people
and the future growing more bleak
and appalling as it grows nearer.
But "cream puffs" won't take the
time or trouble to think. Yet they
should give some thought to the
future of their children. Shall these
be permitted to grow up in the be-
lief that the present and good
time is all that matters? Shall they
be encouraged to see a long stretch
between twenty and sixty-five and
that anything may happen in be-
tween, even the end of the world,
after which nothing could matter?
Better help them to believe the
world is going to last and that the
dole and the poor house awaits at
sixty-five all those who have pre-
pared for nothing better.
