FSA Places Stress On
Family Gardens; Grow
Crops For Homes

This is the season when family
gardens are receiving special atten-
ton from borrowers of the Farm Sc
curity Administration, according to
Mrs. Galloway, home management su-
pervisor Of the FSA in Anne Arundel,
Baltimore, Hartford, Montgomery and
Prince George counties.
Emphasis upon the growing Of
abundant and well-diversifed garden
crops in order to supply the family
table with a "long season" of fresh
vegetables and fruits, with enough
produce left over to can and store for
the winter months, is fundamental to
the Give at home" program of farm
families receiving FSA rehabilitation
loans.
every seed planted in the home
garden, by helping to reduce expendi-
lures for the family table, represents
saving in the cash income," Mrs.
Galloway stated. "This saving often
releases hundreds of dollars of a
family's income annually for other
farm needs"
The primary purpose of Farm Sc
curity's rehabilitation program is t.
make the borrowers self-reliant and
Independent through education as well
as financial backing, Mrs. Galloway
pointed out. The role of the Home
Management Supervisor in the de.
velopment of this program is to as
sist the homemaker in drawing VI
her home management plans, to give
advice on better family living, and t.
demonstrate how the farm may bes
feed the family. In the process o.
achieving a well-balanced diet at low
cost, from gardening and poultry rails
ing to the canning and storing of fooc
for winter needs, it is the duty of tn,
Home Management Supervisor to b.
guide and counsel. -

that makes him erratic as to what
he is and what he wants to be, is
the fact that the Negro has not
found himself and does not know
himself For that reason he very
often attempts to build his worth
on the reflections of the worth OF
other people; and, at one time he
wants TO be like the white Ameri-

an Indian, and at other times he
wants 10 be like the Jew, and so
forth. We contend tina. all the Ne

The first item of confusion and
disagreement comes in what to call
ourselves. Many of us think that
the term "colored people" is the
incest one, and rather be called
that than anything else. Others
think that the most appropriate term
is Afro-Americans" or Aframeri-
cans" Others think that "Rthio-

And, ALL Of US think that the term

this we disagree, and our logical
reasons will appear later on in

LAND GRADERS
For more than three centuries,
the white man has maintained the
unenviabie record of being the
land grabber of the world. Harry

and writer of note. admits the fol-
lowing regarding the vicious pro-
pensity Of his race;
I'm the year $500 AID, the white
people had hardly one-tenth of their
present holdings; they lighted on
the methods and discoveries of mod
ern science, began to harness the
latent resources of the universe, be-
cause freemen of the sea, masters
in war, alladins whose magic lamps
were machines, until no other race
could hope to stand before them.

hardly one-third of the earth's pop

practically free Of the white mans
control. Before 1890 five million

"A F r &c A.
VIEWS. and REVIEWS
By RAMON A. MARTINEZ
Founder of the Negro Nationalist Movement Originator
of the Greater Liberia Plan now in Congress
THE writer's thoughts do necessarily represent the Views
and opinions Of this paper
By RAMON A. MARTINEZ

In defining "colored peoples" any
white man will tell you that AL
people are colored that are not
white" Under this classification
we just as well be Mongols or In
dians or Hindus or Malays. As far
as the white man is concerned, if
you are not white. you Just belong
TO the common pile OF human trash
that he calls "colored people"
So that, as far as we Negroes are
concerned. the term does not do
us any special favor; on the con-
trary, il dumps us into that common
pile that makes the white man stand
apart and distinct from the rest of
humanity. The more we use this
term, the more we play right into
the white mans philosophy that he
is different and distinct, and there
fore, superior among the races of
mankind. 1t is time that we in
vestigate some of these things. and
stop playing to the white mans ra-'
eial ideology of Caucasian super
iority. "Colored people" means any
race not white. Negro" means one
particular type Of humans. II is
the race from which we have de-
scended. 1t means us, and us only.
The term "Afro-Americans' or
Aframericans" seem to have been
convenient compromise between
the term "colored" and the term
Negro 1t seems to have been
born out of the repugnance of some
people to be called Negroes and
their contempt for the word "col-
ored." It seems to be bolstered in
the contention that we constitute
a distinct race different from the
orthodox Negro, because we have
large infusion of white blood in us
To begin with, neither the white
man nor the Negro has an legiti-
mate right to be called American.
Only the American Indians who
were the aborigines OF this continent
have sFay-Eii s 81 ffttil- elsiRa-te-tAat
name. The most ridiculous basis
for the adoption of this name is the
argument that we are different
race because we have an infusion of
white blood running through us.
There isn't hardly race group in
more or less infusion Of alien blood
running through its veins Yet,
none of them stop calling themselves
by their original racial name Just
because of such infusion. But the
most tragic aspect Of this conten-
ton is the stalking of our pride and
claiming a racial distinction based
on blood that has come to us
through an inter-rscial corruption
and immortality in which our wom-
en- have been the greatest victims.
It is the most contemplate stamp Of
the days Of our slavery.
The word Ethiopian, although ap-
piled to all Negroid peoples by ex-
tension, was really originated by the
ancient Greeks, referring to the
people Of the ancient Ethiopian
empire. 1t comes from the two
Greek words "Ethion" meaning to
burn" and "Opes" meaning coun-
tenance Thus, they referred to
the ancient Ethiopians as the "peo-
pie OF the burnt faces (For lack
OF Greek characters we have used
above Arabic capitals in giving the
etymology Of the word Ethiopian)
The term, therefore, has extended
TO all black people by adaptation.

HYPOCRISY

It is commonly asserted ana PoPularly peAeNeo
that we Negroes somehow can never get together
and forget eur differences in the interest OF cause
for the common good, regardless OF whether the
cause is social, economic or political or what nave
Won. We have among us many who will attempt to
prove occasionally that most uplft efforts among
us are futile because we Negroes will simply not
cooperate with each other. 1t is said that among
our leaders everybody is out for himself and that,
instead of one strong racial movement among u.s.
there is nothing but confusion.
In the first place, we must say that these popular
rotions enumerated above are absolutely false and
without real Justification Time and again Negroes
have come together on issues and demonstrated as
much capacity for cooperation can be found in any
other racial group There are numerous enterprises
here and in other cities which bear witness to the
work and achieve great things and
that cooperation among ourselves becomes only
matter of education and common sense. We must
stop talking about our differences we must stop dis
couraging natural cooperative tendencies by dwell
ing upon the mistakes possibly of our past Any cur
sorry glance at our history since emancipation Will
reveal that Negro achievement has been remarkable
and that most of this achievement has resulted from
efforts that called forth the cooperation OF great
numbers of our people One may ask then, if this is
true what keeps alive the notion that we Negroes are
incapable of cooperation?
The answer is simple. We have a small but eff
fective army of stupid, blithering idiots who are
usually bribed by some white exploiter, and who
make their living by betrayng their people in politics
and other fields. These loud mouth jackasses often
pretend to love the common man and talk great
deal about the masses of people and they lie in
every breath. The Race cannot use hypocrites. 1t
is refreshing to note however, that their number is
small and they are dying fast.
A splendid example of sincere cooperation on
the part of great numbers of people is shown in
the city-wide effort to elect William L. Sheriff. to
the Common Council. The numerous political organl-
cations have not only endorsed Negro for the Com
mon Council, but most of them have donated money,
literature and office space for the campaign. We
Negroes of Detroit will not permit lies about our
people to be circulated and have members of the
other group laugh in faces. We are proving hat
there can be cooperation among us and that by
sticking together we can achieve something of value,
no matter what the odds against us may appear to
be. We will not tolerate those who try to divide
us in order to rule and exploit United we stand
and prosper.

l can sit at my window and look
out on the corner of Warren ave-
nue. and Beaubien street, and wit
ness many avoidable automobile
accidents during the course Of the
day-cars failing to stop at the stop
street, entering the intersection at
rapid rate of speed, disregarding
loss Of life, and the happiness Of
others-accidents that involve hun
dreds of dollars and cause trouble
and sorrow in some homes.
These careless, reckless drivers
bring sorrow upon the hearts of
many families, robbing them of the
joy of life.
Adjusting claims as I am forced
to do, am brought many tales of
how accidents happen.
A few days ago a claim was pre-
sented to me for collection against
man that did considerable dam
age to a garage and the car inside
Of it, while he was testing 4 car
in an alley His brakes had been
checked and pronounced okay, and
on the final trial he placed his
foot on the brake-pedal and, 10 and
behold, no brake-they had failed
TO work. The car ran into a garage
wrecking the door, forcing the car
that was in the garage through the
front end. His brakes failed to
work, but his insurance policy did
not, A large amount of damage
done to both the garage and cat
was Immediately repaired. "
A wise and sensible man has his
brakes checked periodically by an
authorized service man. Are you
one?
May l leave this parting thought

Carry your license to drive with

For how shamed you'd be were it

That your state, through its office,
finds you are
Fit to be trusted to drive a car.
