The Peoples
Opinion
FIRE STATION. NO. 8.

Editor-Sir:
Says last weeks Recorder;
Harry Sott's (white) appointment
to captainey of Engine Company
mo. 8 is move to break down
segregation. Well, that's just
dandy, and when the cat came to
live at the home Of the mice all
the mice shouted and cIapped their
hands in glee because they had
succeeded in making friends with
the cat. But the cat ate the mice.
A cat is always a cat. Do you try
to make US believe that by softly
saying Segregation is ended, !" you
are covering up the real weakness
of this whole situation The de-
plorable, don't-eare attitude of the
Negroes in this town and there
is the crux of it all.
For fifty years we've had an ex-
elusive Negro engine company in
s .
st. Paul--one of the few jobs we
could call our own. It meant
steady, respectable work for a por-
ton of our Negrory, These men
were and are steady family men
Ia boon to any community. They
were a pre-eminent, steadfast corr
nerstone of our Negro civic life.
And now comes the Citizens Com
mittee, moved not as much by initi-
alive as by circumstances, trying
to cover up the apathy of st. Pauls
Negroes by crying out, Victory!
Segregation is broken! Whites get
Negroes jobs! How nice"
Why did the. Citizens Commit
tee ask for the appointment of a
captain instead of two promised
appointments of Negroes in order
to bolster up the badly weakened
company?
What is wrong with Negroes in
st. Paul? Why, have we held no
meetings to discuss the issue?
Why have none Of our "rich" clubs
or lodges bestirred themselves over
it.? Why has our youth, so badly
in need of jobs, failed to take the
civil service examinations when
they have been given so that they
might line up for those jobs when
they are offered. I repeat Why
does our youth lack this initiative?
Because Of this same lack Of ac-
quisitiveness Minneapolis lost her
Negro fire department. st. Paul's
will go too if young Negroes fail
to take these examinations and fail
to pump fresh blood into the or
ganization. The front-page article
in last weeks Recorder was as
weak as water. Why should we be
happy over the breakdown of seq
regation" when we get only the
dregs?
The only way by which we can
salvage a sorely depleted engine
company now is for every young
Negro to take that examination
when it comes up. We can't lose
we've got everything to win-but
we must pull tOgetheri

While visiting in the East we met

The other night, so it's been said,
the five bein' in fighting mood

 Problem: If three WPA men do three days work in three days, all working at the same speed, how many days work will one of the men do in one day?

county; and so ne has opened up
jackson Day campaign headquar-
tiers right here on the second floor

roping, branding and tieing was

Devils came through their big game
with the Tar Heels Of North Caro-
lima in grand style last Saturday and
remained in the Southern conference

pect to win their second successive
league championship, their biggest
game is yet to come.
Duke meets N. C. State in Ra-
leigh Saturday afternoon. 1t will be
the Wind-up contest for the Blue
Devils, and their victory over the
ously-undefeated Tar Heels has
given this game added significance.

NAKED on Saturday-or it may be
choked off.
The Big Blue is unbeaten in its
four conference games this year. 1t
has doWned Davidson, Wake Forest,

State, on the other hand, has won
but two Of its loop engagements. The
WOlfpack holds an 1914 triumph
over Davidson, scored in the seasons
opener and a 1877 victory over Fur
man, marked up last week to snap
a six game losing streak.

football talent, and yet an array
which has been disappOintly unsuc-

Wolfpack.
They will get their last chance Sat-
urday to show their fellow students
and a home crowd what they can do.
They will go into the fray with moth
ing whatever to lose except their

have even an outside chance Of beat
Wade's heavy battolions.
1t puts them in a spot to unWrap
the prize package Of 1889 in the way
of football upset; and if they could
manage it they would live in State

lection Of miracle workers ever. They
might even have statues erected in
their memory.
But whatever they do or don't in
the matter Of winning, they can be
counted on to give the best they have.

nobody can do more.

Duke Game
Ends An Era
At N. G.. State
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Si1' Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Nov. 24.-Saturday's foot
ball game here, in which North Car
DINA States somewhat claW-marked
Wolfpack will attempt to accomplish
the incredible by stopping Duke
laurel Blue Devils, will be
more than just another gridiron at
fray, it will mark the definite end
of an era, so far as Raleigh and the
Pack are concerned.
When the final whistle blows, APP
proximately half a score State play
ers will have made their last ap-
pearance before the folks of this
capital city. They are not just seniors
playing their ultimate home game
they are the Old Guard, the last visi-
BILE and tangible reminders of the i'll
starred Hunk Anderson regime-a
regime which ended in as unedifying
an exchange of ordinations and re-
examinations as ever marked the fir
ing of a coach.
There has been no intimation from
any source that the boys who came
to State as freshmen while Hunk
was serving his final year have failed
to give their very, very best efforts
in every game and practice; but there
is a distinct feeling Of relief in many
alumni quarters that beginning with
next year Coach Doc Newton's team
will be absolutely and entirely his
own. He will stand or fall on the
record Of his country boys" the
,ophs and juniors who this year have
made the State team appear just a
trifle more Spirited if not more COM
petent, when they are in the game.

Wolfpack Big Obstacle
In DukeP ath OF Glory

But Duke has been playing State
long enough to know that the Wolf
pack is never an easy assignment.
And Doc NeWton's fighting crew of
"country boys''-lending new spirit
to the Red and Gray squad-Will
make this years meeting as tough as
ever.
These "country boys"-given their
chance against favored Furman
team-made the most Of it. And they
will make the MOST of their chance
to blast the Blue Devils title hopes.
They are led by couple of splendid
running DacKs-DicK (Lux) Watts
and Jack Huckabee. And they get
able assistance from the old hands
Artie Rooney, Pat Fehly i5obby Sa-
bolyk, and Ty Coon.
Dukes line, which performed so
creditably in the Carolina game, will
have to be at its best to halt the
charge of States up-and-coming
sophomores. George McAfee, Yves
McAfee, Frank Killian, and Roger
Robinson will have to be at their
best to penetrate the Wolfpack's
spirited defense, which has held
nobly against Tennessee, North Caro-
lima, and Duquesne.
