Poetic Thoughts
Graduation Day
By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr

June is the month when most students graduate,
To start out in life and not be late
For the time has come when preparedness awaits
The ones who ready at appointments gate.
Every student looks lovely in his or her frock,
For they have measured time almost by the clock
For this eventful day much to all,
That it's the attending wedding ball.
Their entry into lifes struggles has only begun,
But preparedness helps them to battle through,
The pitfalls disappointments and puts the run,
The thought that certain things only for a few
Parents and guardians proud on graduation day.
For their thoughts wander back when they used to pan
The course best fitted for each child's culture
And graduation gives theory chance at the future

Here And
There

There gathered last week in our
Minneapolis office a group of peO-
pie representing a cross section of
the business, social and civic life
of that community.
Naturally in the fevered air i'm
pregnating the impending primary
the talk drifted to politics.
Wouldn't it be a fine thing"
suggested one of the business
men, "if all of the Negro people
could be induced to vote, just once,
for the same candidates." Every
one agreed to that in principle.
The women in the party, however,
began to point out the practical
difficulties. Groups of folks of any
size just don't easily grow to think
alike. It's equally hard for colored
people as it is for whites, to give
up the party affiliations they have
held for many years. The way we
are scattered in the Twin Cities
area tends to widen the difficulties
of supporting one set of men, and
so on, etc.
The one important thought in
this accidental conference is that
these men and women, divided in
many respects, in business and
other interests, were united in the
recognition of an important prob
lem facing them as members Of
a minority group; problems they
must solve for themselves and to
which they were willing to give
serious intelligent consideration.
Today as I write tuesday,, the
results of the statewide primary
is not definite. But this much is
sure. There has been in the pre-
primary campaign and in the vot-
ing in the primary election itself
a more widely spread effort on the
part of our people than ever be-
fore to attempt to put into prac-
tice the things agreed upon by the
conference to which attention has
been called.
In the primary itself party lines
have held of necessity. Within
those bounds, however, there has
been a very visible effort to come
together and determine the men
and measures that have been and
will continue to be of greatest use
fulness to the race.
We cannot rid ourselves all at
once of all the hindrances to CO.
operative action as pointed out so
definitely by the women who en-
gagged in the discussion.
We cannot at once rid ourselves
Of those persons who claim to
carry the Negro "vote in vest
pockets" nor of the gullible can
didates who will believe them.
We cannot overcome the handi-
caps of a widely separated and
therefore weakened electorate but
we can and did to a most encour-
aging extent realize the need for
study and consultation in order to
select from each party those who
could be most advantageously sup
ported.
In the matter of directing atten-
ton to these needs and in the more
vital advice as to who would best
meet them, among those who seek
our support, this paper has given
outstanding service.

Independent Americans

For many years the word Amer
lea has been synonymous with in
dependence with regard to the ma
tiOn as well as the individuals com
prising it. The backbone" of the
nation at the time Of its foundation
was the rugged individualists, such
as Thomas Jefferson, Alexander
Hamilton, and George Washington.
These men, if not themselves pion-
GERS, represented this group of peo-
pie and organized the government
with them in mind, writing laws
which gave to them all the freedom
they needed and demanded The
people under this government made
all Of their clothes, most Of their
furniture, houses, and a few of
their tools as well as raising all
their food. Thus is the first Amer
lean under his democratic govern
ment typifed.
Now we are in another age. The
word America now means to many,
just the last word in wv. P. A."
The people are still represented,
but they no longer seem to crave
independence. if it means sacrific-
ing comfort. Some people still
grow their own, and make their
own" but a far larger majority
make the supreme effort and-take
the relief check to the corner store.
Don't think that 1 am knocking
my own country. 1 fully realize
how fortunate 1, as an American,
am to be safe in land of promise,
5000 miles away from the turmoil
IN Europe. I am only attempting
TO urge other Americans to make
the most of their opportunities and
not feel that the government is al
ways there to support them if they
lose their job thru sheer careless
ness.
In other words, fellow country
men, look about you, seize the
chance and Wake up and Live"
