evidences of mismanagement, the
presence of Slanty Gano on Circle

fringe of cedar as though he did

ago Matt had run Slanty off the
Circle V for abusing horse, and
Slanty had given it wide berth

Just ahead was the big moment
for which Lee had planned, but
somehow he hesitated. Lee grin

right. Five minutes later the
ranch buildings were completely
blocked from view and the buck
skin was threading his way down
the slope of little ravine where
a slim finger of the creek ran.
About a third of the way down
a cabin stood, its logs weathered
grey by many seasons. In a bare
strip beyond it a little old man
was just Strengthening from a
STOPPING posture.
"Where-ee! Joey! Zip Yip!"
Lee HOLSTER! Hi-yi-yi! Lee"
The whoop from the head of the
ravine was answered by thin,
shrill note; the old man scramble
ed and slid and ran. They met al
most in front of the grey cabin.

Joey's voice squeaked treacher-

A flashing grin came. Il never

Joey flinched as though some

Joey gulped again. His voice
was: a dry husk of sound.
''Matt-Matt's gone"
Gone! Look here, Joey, you
don't mean that Matt is -: >.
He couldn't quite finish it. Joey
nodded heavily.

impact of the blow had rocked

I don't get it at all. Matt wasn't

Joey nodded. Speech for the
moment was beyond him.
Lee dropped the reins over the
buckskin's head and left him tc
stand there and crop at young
grass. They turned and went ur

spoke.
Inside the cabin were six or

Poetic Thoughts
By MORRIS GIBBS. Sr.
Good Business

It's good business to always be on time,
Some people for no reason or rhyme
Are always late, can never be ahead
But always know when it's time to be fed.
It's good business to greet everyone with smile.
Try it, put yourself on trial.
For pleasant disposition be clearly shown
When your countenance brightens up on the phone.
Good business demands cheerful tone T
In answering request, let it be known
You're not expressionless just like stone,
Hate to be bothered and want to be alone.
Good business wants you to know your business
Not always without knowledge, ready to confess,
~ should have done so and So"
It's good business to give the best in you,
Study your work and see what to do.
In regards to improvement, get mentally right
Then you'll overcome any uphill fight.
It's good business in all you do,
To seek God first and then for you
All things will be added in their proper time
And none of your irons will ever burn.
There's no depression in Gods realm.
Stay close to Him, His hand holds the helm
That steers all who trustingly place
Him first, then we'll be an important race. -

Negro Youth Faces
A Dual Challenge

Editor:
A few months ago the Mime
apolis Urban League issued a
booklet bearing the title, "a Chal-
lenge to Negro Youth" The pur-
pose of this publication was to
present the Negro youth of Mime
apolis facts regarding the impor-
lance of choosing a vocation and
preparing themselves by way of
vocational training. Emphasis was
placed upon the necessity for un-
derstanding the significance of the
organized labor movement and in
terpretations made regarding the
many barriers which at the present
time severely restrict the employ
ment of Negroes by the leading in
dustries of this community. In
other words the dominant idea back
of this study was to impress upon
Negro youth the fact that it is con-
fronted with many challenging
problems which must be faced reso-
lutely and intelligently if success
full occupational adjustment is to
be realized in the future.
And now comes a second chal-
lenge to Negro youth of Mime
apolis, one that comes by way of
social heritage. Historical facts
regarding the Negroes contribution
toward the development of the city
of Minneapolis appearing in the
Centennial edition of the Mime
apolis Spokesman revealed that
many positions were held by Ne
groes in this community in the past
which in some mysterious way have
been allowed to disappear. Ger
tainly every Negro youth in Mime
apolis must have been emotionally
stirred by the fact, first, that in
the past Negro women served with
distinction as teachers in the pub
lie school system; second, once
there was a fire station manned
entirely by Negro firemen; third,
that fashionable downtown restau-
rants were owned and operated by
Negroes and Negro once served
in the state legislature and was
the author of our Civil Rights Bill.
History also shows that Negro
attorney served on the Minneapolis
city charter commission and that
members of the group were once
employed in skilled and clerical ca
pacities in much larger numbers
than is true at the present time.
The important question arising
out of these accomplishments of
past generations is whether or not
the youth of today can measure up
to the standards set by his fore
bears, therein lies the challenge Of
his social heritage. Unquestion-
ably the youth of today is con-
fronted with more complex social
and economic order. At the same
time, however, there are more re-
ligious, educational and civic in
stitutions available for his guild
ance. The youth of Minneapolis
can meet the challenge of his hertz
age by approaching present day
problems with the same degree of
determination and integrity as the
early settlers approached the prob
lens of their day.
