Well, we don't like to make our
selves seem scholarly, but the doc
tors have unwittingly dug up
something pretty old. As mat
ter of fact, the ancient Greeks
had word for it, used the system
and gave it up. They called it
boustrophedon, and you can find
the word in a good dictionary even
to this day. Pronounced boo-stro-
fee-don, with the accent on the
third syllable, it means literally
turning like oxen in blowing"
It is a compound of two Greek
workshops, meaning OK, and
strephein, meaning to turn.
P. S. Incidentally, the excerpt
quoted above reads normally this
way: "Many of the convention
delegates yesterday Stunned ses-
sions for day on the golf course.

Business Men See
That Jacks Place
Is Told to Do Right

Jacks Place at the corner of
Fourth Ave. So. and Washington
Minneapolis, which has repeatedly
refused to serve citizens if they
happened to be of Negro ancest~v
IS now serving them.
Reason: Two business men, Al
bert H. Smith, a tailor shop pro-
prietor, and Ellis Houston, a Min
neapois barber shop owner for 40
years, went in the cafe and we're
refused service. Jack Raid, the
proprietor, a foreign born white
who has not even his citizenship
papers, told them he didn't serve
colored people.
Complaints of Messrs. Smith
and Houston to Hennepin County
Attorney COTS office finally
brought action.
Jack Raid was told by that office
that he was violating a Minnesota
law and that if he didn't quit do
ing so he faced criminal action.
At the last report Jack, who
speaks broken English, is serving
all citizens who asked for food and
drink.
Hats off to Messrs. Smith and
Houston, who put their talk into
action instead of letting George
do it"

available.

Johnny Seymour,
MinCity Youth
Leader, Buried

The death, after four weeks ILL
ness, of John Seymour, 3847 Smell
ing avenue, leader among Mime
apolis youth, shocked the COM
munity in which he was widely
known. -
Seymour, i'll about four weeks,
died last Friday night, November
"a. First word of the seriousness
of his illness was revealed when
blood donors were requested 10
days ago. Many volunteered blood
to give him blood transfusions.
Members of his family early last
week were informed by physicians
that there was small hope for his
life. Until the last, Johnny" as
he was known all over Minneapolis,
kept up his courage.
Services were held at the Glea-
son Mortuary, 9th and Nicollet
avenue, Monday, with the Revs.
]. H. Thompson and A. H. Lealtad
officiating.
The deceased was a clerk at the
Minneapolis Public Library. He
was very active in youth activities
and was president of the Mime
apolis Youth Council. For several
years he served as scoutmaster of
Boy Scout troop in South Min
neapolis.
Survivors are his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. C. v. Seymour and three
sisters: Margrite Seymour Ellis, of
Amityville, Long Island, N. Y;
Mrs. Anna Thompson, Minneapolis,
and Mrs. Louise Bradshaw, st.
Paul. Interment was at Crystal

looLn oIfeeL [. M. y. A, attended
by As delegates representing or
CARNATIONS totalling over 5000
persons.
Reporting on the work of the
committee up to date, Arnold John
son, Executive Secretary, told the
delegates that while certain sue
cesses can be recorded, the extent
Of unemployment among Harlem
Negroes is so vast that the
achievements hardly scratch the
surface. He said that during the
past year the committee has placed
several hundred persons in various
jobs.
Taking issue with those who
predict increased employment be-
cause of the European war, John
son stated that the hostilities on
that continent will not improve the
Negroes economic condition, and
that the struggle for jobs remains
a paramount matter for the Negro
people. He declared that WPA lay
offs have greatly increased job
lessness among Negroes in the
community, and that with the
mounting prices for food the con-
ditions of Harlem Negroes have
been greatly aggravated.
According to present plans the
job drive will concentrate largely
on bread and milk companies that
do a land office business in Har-
lem. Steps to include Brooklyn in
the drive were taken, and a COM
mittee to direct the work in that
borough was set up. In respect to
those firms that have begun to
employ Negroes, efforts will be di-
rected toward getting them to in
crease their colored personnel.
A suggestion that the committee
consider broadening its work so as
to- effect joint actions with similar
bodies in other sections of the
country was voiced by the Rev.
William Lloyd lines who, together
with the Rev. A. Clayton Powell,
Jr., heads the organizations. DR..
lines spoke on the work of a SINH
lar committee in Detroit that is
conducting a like drive for the
employment of their group.
"Only by co-ordinating our eff
forts in New York with those of
other cities can we move forward
and gain for our group those
things to which we have dedicated
ourselves"
He proposed consultations with
various groups throughout the ma
ton with the object of calling
national job conference sometime
next spring.
