Pub|ic Spanking
 Boon to Justices;
 Here Is Example

POWHATAN, O., Aug. 18.-Pub- lie whipping-or, barrel justicep-- was credited today by county judge with reducing juvenile de- linqency nearly 60 per cent in this coal mining village.
 For five years Powhatan's 2,500 residents have heard almost daily the swish of the whip as it de- scended on some youthful culprits posterior bent over a barrel in the public square.
 Since the first public whipping was administered by hefty Marshal Edward Carpenter, he estimated that 2000 youths ranging in age from eight to fifteen years had felt the sting of his lash or paddle.
 T know this,p said County Pro- bate Judge Harry L. Albright, "ju- venile delinquency in Powhatan has fallen off nearly 60 per cent from what is was before Carpenters barrel justice went into effect.
 They can dispose justice in five minutes over a barrel in a rather effective way" e a.
 Marshal Carpenter sits as prose- cutor, judge, and jury on cases of juvenile violators. He makes the arrests and decides the degree of punishment on the basis of the of fense. lr
 Dr. G. L. Ramsey, leading physi elan and civic leader, described the system as 've-y effective in keep ing the younger generation under control" and the Rev Vernon c. Tyree of St. Clairsville, the Bel mont County seat, added: T would not mind administering the lash myself in some cases s

Point up your meals these Ian guid days of waning summer witt some colorful dishes.
 The increasingly popular fruit platters and refrigerator desserts offer endless possibilities for com bning foods that are harmonious in taste and color.
 Top a generous plate of diced pineapple, sliced oranges, peaches or apricots and seedless grapes with a few red raspberries and blueber- ries. Add dash of lemon juice and just the right amount of your fav- orite salad dressing.
 Rainbows With Melons
 Dig little hole in the center of a fruit plate and insert mound of cottage or cream cheese.
 Arrange thin slices of honey dew, cantaloupe and watermelon in rainbow effect

New York Senators

Last week white man, speaking
to a group of white women in New
York, said he thought the political
lines should be redrawn so the col
ored people may elect two State
Senators. Asked what effect he
thought such an arrangement would
have on the South, he said he did
not care particularly what the South
thought, but he felt race relations
in New York bad developed to the
point where it was only fair and
right that colored citizens be given
the senatorial representation.
The significant thing here is that
the South, with its reactioaary poll
ticians, is no longer feared hy North
ern men when it cores to Initiating
Negro participation in government.
When the Negro was migrating to
the North, the South said the Negro
should stay where he was for his
own best interests (where the white
folks understood" hin) but offered
no new inducements. Now, the Ne
gro is in the North, and has to his
credit judges on the bench, assist
ants in State, Municipal and County
attorneys offices, and has members
in the State legislatures, etc. But
the South still holds back. It wants
to come to these things gradually"
meanwhile the race is suffering
from lack of representation in the
policy-making divisions Of our gov
ernments.
Even the question of lynching is

I've hspe) about TO be settled, but !
the Noitneln Negro. On such COM
paratlyeiy small matters as giving
Negroes places of executive author
ity IN New Deal agencies in the
SouLns4n states, the race Is blocked,
mainly because of the old stereotype
Of Keeping the races separate.
There is no unusual rush to ANAL
gamation in the North, although
there is no segregation in public con-
yeyances, no segregation in certain
of the large school systems: and
Negroes eat in many of the public
restaurants.
Why, then. does the South hold to
these old, outmoded ideas? Why do
we find even some Negroes Of intel
ligence who go on making excuses
for segregation in the South? Is it
because they are trying to be loyal
to homo, loyal to the place of their
employment? Look at Mrs. Roose-
yelt. She faces truth. She says
Negroes should be provided for at
the Warm Springs Foundation in
Georgia. She goes among colored
.eople whenever she chooses. She is
lot afraid of the race issue, even
hough she is the wife of Demo
cratic president. Nor does she lean
,ver backward on the race question
either.
There will be problems SO long as
The two races live side by side, but
egregation is not solving the prob
lem. It is only making matters
yorse. 1t is not making for better
citizenship to keep Negroes out Of
theatres, or to set them off in some
artieular spot in the house.
We urge Southern Negroes (and
Northerners, too) to quit apologizing
for segregation and other evils which
alflict our people, but to back poli-
! cies and propositions which will en-
able Negroes of stamina to get into
positions where they can do the race
some good. Let US watch Negroes
as well as whites, who aspire to pub
lie position, and support at all times
those who have vision of the fu-
ture which includes the Negro in the
picture of public life on q higher
plane than that which he now oc-
cupies.

Commendation

Not for pesonal vainglory, but for
the group, did this writer strive to
serve the Federal Government well
in the first publicity expert assign
ment ever given colored man. The
job, according to superior officers
who had the authority to decide, was
well done
As the writer held aloft his right
hand and swore to defend and pro-
tect the Constitution, he was happy
that here was a chance at last for
q genuine working journalist to
serve with official status. For so
many years, others have taken the
glory and left for us who soil our
hands with printers ink to do the
actual work, unheralded and unsung.
At last the tables were turned. Here
was a genuine worker, one who ac--
tually wields typewriter and q
nimeograph machine, called to the
spotlight, given a title with the au-
thority of the Government Of the
United States of America back of
Il, and an experts pay Of $40 per
day. 1t went into the record that
an ex-boys' corn club member from
Arkansas, who graduated only from
high school, was picked by Uncle
Sam for national promotion job
in the name Of the Negro press, and
that the person who was sworn in
to do the job actually did the work.
After nineteen years Of struggle,
what this writer is most anxious
about for the Negro journalist is
that he be given credit for what he
can do, and that the pactice of Civ
ing preference to others, who are
not in his field, for work that is in
his line, be stopped.
We are trying to dignfy the Negro
Press, and we can't dignity the press
until we dignity the journalist. We
feel that a battle was won on the
journalistic front when a newspaper
man got a chance to serve Uncle
Sam as an expert. The pay has been
mentioned, not for the sake Of the

money, but merely to give proof
that the job was genuine. 1t was
not pesonal victory, but victory
for all struggling editors who have
labored for SO many years for prac-
tically no pay. At least somebody.
somewhere, knows the value of
eolored journalist. And they don't
come any higher than Uncle Sam.
The writer wishes To thank all
persons, throughout the country, who
cooperated He assures the editors
that # he ever gets the chance to
speak in high places, their cause will
be the first he will be the first he
will present.

Proponents 0I the tJldle law
to establish Board Of Cosme

for such was to assure proper

who employ the services Of
such persons. Il apparently
was never intended that the

were to be regarded as a rev

Apparently just the reverse
Of what the proponents argued
is happening under the State

ness the fact that while moro

before multitude of people in
Chicago challenger Tor the world s
heavy weight ilstic title. A snort
time later tnis Same boy clawled out

been a vain sacrifice for Joe Louis2
Jack Dempsey occupying the same
place that Louis now occupies came
to Hollywood and made picture for
a major studio. Max Baer and Primo
Carnera while challenger and cham
,ion respectively made 4 picture in
hollywood for major studio that
letted each III Them . handsome re-

ywood to MAKE d picture for COM
any newly organized for the err
prcss purpose Cf exploiting the Ne
no III pictures and with Il rating

quickie independent producer MAX
ing "D'' product. The question that
now arises is Is Joe Louis champion
of the world on is he the Negro
champion Of The worid2 Why should
he appear in pictures tnat can be
produced for less than Max Baef
received as his salary when only a
challenger for the championship
Why should Joe Louis enter into
contract to make pictures on which
he allotted production cost could
not possible give him a favorable
presentation to the public? Why
should Joe Louis be d party to the
scheming Of group Of i omoters
to lower the standard Of Negro SAL
aries in Hollywood As champion
Of the world, he should be cham
pion of the less fortunate members
of his group and not adhere to any
policies that will tear down that
has been built through years Of suf-
fering and sacrifice.
There are 100000 Negroes in
he United States that should rejoice
and clap their hands with gee BE-
cause there is a Negro that ba
hrot Eh perseverance reached tn
