the streets, with no heavy coats on.
When Sal arrived in town with

HITLER's REVENGE

Editor:
Whenever the going gets rough
with Hitler, he can always get
sweet revenge by throwing up the
treatment of the Negro in the face
of Uncle Sam.
Hitler's latest thrust is a mas
terpiece. He calls for Jim Grow
cars for Jews, and announces that
he got the idea from the United
States, where Negroes and whites
are thus separated"
Hitler may be mad, but it is GER
tainly not for Uncle Sam to say so,
at least officially, until he cleans
up his own back yard. Right now
the Negro press and the Negro
public are in belligerent mood be-
cause the Interstate Commerce
Commission has held that a Con-
gresham of the United States,
who happens to be colored, was
properly treated when he was re-
fused Pullman accommodations in
his own country = in the country
which he helps make the laws to
protect.
Hitler's mention of Jim Grow
cars is quite timely. And we re-
call that Mussolini announced,
shortly after the fall of Adds
Ababa, that he would institute a
bus system in the capital of East
Africa in which the natives would
be compelled to ride in the rear, as
do Negroes in the Southern United
States.
Bishop Wright reports that in
South Africa, ruled by the English,
that the natives are set off some
distance from the cities; that seq
regation there is complete.
Maybe the representatives of the
democratic countries quake in the
presence of the dictators because
they know their democracy is
really not genuine.

In MenOria1n

In fond memory of our dear
mother, Mary M. Judy, who passed
away January 4, 1888.
We do not forget her, we loved her
too dearly,
For her memory to fade from
our lives like dream;
Our lips need not speak when our
hearts mourn sincerely,
For grief often dwells where it
seldom is seen.
In our home she is fondly remem-
bered,
Sweet memories cling to her
name;
Those who loved her in life sin
cerely,
Still love her in death just the
same.
Sadly missed.

should such an unusual emergency
arise. But they can't be and sim
ply because nature does not intend
that boys shall do mems work.
There is great satisfaction in
seeing boys and girls growing into
manhood and womanhOOd. First
through that aggravating STOOL
ish" period when seemingly their
only mission in life is to annoy and
mystify their elders. Then gradu-
ally develop into a more serious
channel and to show evidences of
intelligence, and to exhibit ofttimes
in a laughsble cOnceited way, a
willingness to solve all the prob
lens that have ever vexed life for
us.
Then it is that parents and
teachers may sit back and sigh
with relief as they realize, here is
another brood that has safely
passed through the danger" pc
riod.
But this happy consummation
cannot be hurried. Nor would we
have it so. For dispite it's heart
throbs and anxious moments there
is a keen pleasure in watching
youngsters, our own and others as
well, go through the several phases
leading to maturity.
There is equal pleasure in watch
ing at the other end of life. To
note the ease and freedom from
worry with which insensibly, so
many who have battied more or
less, successfully through life view
it's inevitable finish with compos-
ure.
If you were among those who
were present last month at the an
nual party Phyllis Wheatley Set
Element House gives to this group
you could understand and better
appreciate this.
Quite the usual number sat down
to the dinner so carefully and low
ingly prepared and served.
A number of familiar faces were
absent; gathered to their fathers.
But this did not sadden or distress
those who remained, for their
places were filled by those who
have impatiently awaited the ap-
prOach of the year bringing them
eligibility.
They rejoiced to know they were
not forgotten, that younger men
and women delighted to honor
them.
They Toasted and laughed, joked
and did not regret that soon they,
too, will be numbered with the de-
parted, for this they know is but
the natural order.
None who aided in this memoir
able occasion served more faith
fully or with greater personal sat
isfaction than young Ted Woodland.
He made trip after trip to bring
and carry home Phyllis Wheatley's
guests, helped to tighten the
women's load as they worked in
the kitchen or sedulously waited
upon the company and set fine
example of what youth should
recognize as it's most worthy
pleasure, tender, understanding
care for those who approach the
fulfilling of the years.
