A representative from eacn OF /. ca,
groups spoke briefly about the gene
al work Of their respective churches
as to work in this area of Home Mis-
sions, the cooperative work with the
Negro.
The study topic for the afternoon,
third in the series of six topics, was
the contribution of the Negro to Anne
rican Civilization. It was presented
in very interesting and unique IA
5hion. A very complete set of post
ers was displayed within and around
the church chancel. These were
planned by the Study Leaders and by
the teacher of the class and were
made by B. C. Pace, of Kittrell, who
pecialized in this type OF work.

lucted by the class teacher, Mrs. A.
% On rt0 q

rendered a beautiful prayer-anthem,
Father, 1 Stretch My Hands to
Thee"
C.. E. Breedin, Of the Zeb Vance
high school faculty, made clear in
.eresting and understanding talk on
the study topic of the afternoon, he
made the group realize that the ma
iority of us need to reconstruct our
attitude toward the Negro race. Mrs.
Deans followed, pointing out on spe-
,ial poster the gifts of the Negro to
American civilization in the realms of
labor, in the field, farm and home, of
humor, of folk lore, of music, of let
| ters and art, and in Religion. On
| the reverse side of the poster were
listed a score or more nationally and
| internationally famous Negroes.
After the close of this feature of the
program the Franklinton Quartette
rendered the well known and appeal
ing Negro spiritual, Lord Want To
Be a Christian in My Heart"
Miss Annie Laura Rowland, of the
church school Young Peoples Divi-
sion, gave a sketch of Marvin Harvey,
Negro youth, who is president of the
youth council in North America. Mrs.
Deans reviewed briefly the career of
| Charlotte Hawkins Brown a native
of Henderson and Vance County, who
has achieved success and national
fame as a pioneer in education. She
founded very unique school at Sc
dalia, N. c., for Negro boys and girls.
This is now a recognized Junior Co
educational College. of which DR..
Brown is president.
The Class session was closed with
singing of the class hymn, after
which Mrs r. B. Green closed with
prayer.

School boards in non-accredited

State Capitol News
BY A. l. HARRIS

Now listen, my children, and you
shall hear {.
The other evening. we tuned in on
the radio for some Republican enter
tainment 1t was a so-called Fireside
skit. We had been told of the ditties
which had come over the air such
as I'VE will lick the Farmer-Laborites,
we will, we WILL" to the tune of some
popular song.
We should like to hand it to the
Republicans for this program. They
have really accomplished something.
1t is perhaps the first time in history
when a major political party has been
able to make burlesque out of a serious
political campaign.
The piece de resistance that night
was l.. l. Nicholas, chairman of the
Republican Committee for Martin
county. Mr.. Nicholas told of how To-
cal communities had succeeded in re-
ducing their taxes and the chorus of
"ah's" was perfect. Although he him
self spoke in a quivering voice. when
he mentioned the dread Farmer-La-
borites, a chorus of 'br. .rr. FRS
was likewise perfect-like little chill
dren listening to an eerie ghost story.
But Mr.. Nicholas didn't tell his au-
dience how and why local cOmmuni-
ties were able to reduce their taxes,
and the part the Farme:-LabOr AdmiDi-
stration played in aiding that reduc-
tion. He didn't, because this is a
political campaign, and failure to tell
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth is forgivable under such condi-
tions.
Senator Elmer A. Benson, however.
told the citizens this past week exact
ly what the Farmer-Labor Admin
stration did TO aid local communities
in reducing their tax load. He cited
figures to show that during the last
fiscal year of the Olson administra-
ton, state aid to local communities
totaled S22,536,462, which is more

either. Matter of fact, they are much
sleeker than ever BEFORE
The truth will some times out.

The truth will some times out.
We thought it rather peculiar when
Martin A. Nelson flirted with old age
pensions and social security in his
keynote :. and even went so far as to
indicate that the unemployed should
not be permitted to starve.
But last week he forgot himself
sufficiently to disclose some of his
real thoughts He said that this rich
land of ours is too poor to pay ade-
quate old age pensions that SO a
week to one who has given his life
to the upbuilding of this country, was
too extravagant and that So a week
for dependent spelled luxury for the
recipient and disaster for our country.
He would go back to the Republican
philosophy of no pensions, no aid to
the needy, and no concern on the part
of government for those in want.
To those "in the know, this atti-
tude Of Mr.. Nelson's is not surpris-
ing. But the people of Minnesota will,
at least, be thankful to Mr.. Nelson
for telling them that he has no sympa-
thy whatever with social security.
Mr.. Nelson's newly expressed views
on social security preceded by few
days similar views expressed by Gov
ernOr Landon, who attacked the
Roosevelt administration for trying to
do something for the aged and the
poor. Both Mr.. Nelson and Governor
Landon expounded the so-called theo-
ry of pay as you CO." which is anoth-
err way of saying to the aged, I'VE are
sorry we cannot pay you anything this
year because we have no money" and
saying to those on relief. Sorry, but
we can't do anything for you today
because we have no money"
That is exactly what Landon did to
the school children of Kansas. He
told them, Sorry, but you can't 20
to school today because we have no
money" and more than 700 schools
were shut down. Nelson would bring
Kansas to Minnesota.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1936-10-08

know of no such cases now in Pine
county.
Teacher does not have a right to
expel pupil, but she does have right
and duty to suspend from school
for a few days any pupil for the above
reasons, and until case can be handled
by the board. We know of no such
cases now in Pine county.
Playground direction and supervis-
lon by the teacher is not only duty
put also a state requirement. All
children should profit by it, and most
children like to have teacher leader
ship. 1t helps to overcome discipline
and moral problems.

than $7,00O.0O0 in excess of all reve-
nue. received by the state from the
levy on real property. and exceeded
state aid to local communities by $751;
135, 562-the amount given to local
communities during the last fiscal
year of the Christianson Administra-
ton.
State aid for schools alone was ST.
121, 626 more during the last year OF
the Olson Administration than dur
ing the last year of the Christian
son Administration.
In other words. had Christianson
been governor instead of Olson, local
communities would have had to raise
that additional amount for school
purposes alone, or they would have
been compelled to close large num-
Der of the schools as was done in the
state of Kansas, where more than
two hundred schools were forced to
shut down.
Perhaps before this campaign is
over, the Republicans will discover
that burlesque is all right in its place,
but in speaking of campaign issues,
the people want facts and figures.
