DISCOURAGED? HARDLY!
By James NankiveIl

am thinking of a young Negro
girl who is struggling for an educa-
ton. She, wants to devote her life
to her own race in the South. She
is devout Christian and is ambi-
tious to spend her life in service to
others. In the mean time, due to
overwork and undernourishment, she
has developed light case of T. B.
(tuberculosis).. Is she discouraged
Not a bit of it. She is not only
determined to get an education bu
to overcome her physical handicap
as well.
In addition to her poverty and
sickness she has the handicap of
being colored, and most people know
there is still considerable antipathy
among the races. Most of us have
not yet learned that all men are
brothers, that we have one common
father of all mankind, God, and so
it isn't so easy for a colored girl to
get work. She is limited to a very
small field, but I am sure this little
Negro girl will win her fight. Many
people know about her case and
will do all they can to help her, for
she is worthy of help because she has
dedicated her life to public service
among her own people. What les
son this determined colored girl has
shown us white folks-what splen-
did example of courage, determina-
ton, and devotion to high ideal.
Most red blooded young people
are anxious to make a success of
life, but few are willing to pay the
price of determination, perseverance,
struggle, self discipline, and devo-
ton to duty, and so in due time they
fall in with the common herd of
society, which someone has said con-
stitutes about go per cent of our pop
ulation. We all want to succeed, but
we want to do it the easy way. Well,
there is no easy way to success. The
colored girl referred to above discov-
cred this truth early in life, so she
has chosen the only way and that's
the hard way. Things that COME easy
are never appreciated anyway.

ITALIANS IN NEW PROTEST

Rome.-The British invitation to
Emperor Halle Selassie of ETHIOPIA
to send representative to the coro-
nation of King George VI in May has
caused a demonstration before the
British consulate at Hessina, Sicily.
When the news of the invitation
spread in Italy, a crowd gathered
outside the consulate at Messina and
demanded that the consul hoist the
italian flag, and when the demand
was refused, stones were thrown, one
breaking window. Police were
called and forced the mob to dis
band. 1t was revealed that. small
police guard has been on duty at this
consulate since Anglo-Italian reia-
