mated By Action

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-tR-
The Federal Communications COM
mission has tentatively assigned
new ~frequencies to between $50 and
700 radio stations in the United
States, officials said today.
The new frequencies will become
effective at a date to be set by the
commission before Dec. 20, 1870, a
year after ratification by Mexico
of the North American regional
broadcast agreement. Mexico's rati-
fication put the agreement into eff
feet, since Canada, Cuba, Haiti. and
the United States, other particle
pants in the 1897 Havana radio con-
ference, previously had ratified it.

volt, is also natural to people so
long prescribed and outraged by
prejudice. Competency and the
spirit of revolt can lie side by side
in a people; and, in very fact, do
lie side by side in the COlOred peO-
pie of America. 1t is the function
of leaders to rouse this spirit, to
call it to action, to liquidate COM
placency, and to rise equal to the
tasks confronting the COlOred peO-
pie of the United States.
l do not doubt for one moment
that just this rousing of the spirit
is what the NACP and the Ma
tional Negro Congress both have
been trying, and are trying to
bring about. The work of these or
CARNATIONS, or any others like
them, must and will remain patchy
and insufficient until millions of
black men and women, boys and
girls, on farms, in factories, in
mines, on campuses, in churches, in
lodges and clubs, on street corners,
and wherever, begin to believe in
the dignity of themselves as human
beings, in the inherent value of
themselves as members of society
they and their forebears have done
so much to build, in the varied
promise of themselves awaiting the
fulfillment which will come when,
and only when, black Americans
rise, and in their collective intelli-
gence and strength, fight without
quarter for full and dignifed
standing in the American order of
things, for the right to go where
anybody else goes, to be where
anybody else is, to rise wherever
ability and talent will take them,
to enjoy in fullest measure the
blessings and the sorrows of polit-
ical privileges and obligations.
On the immediate and practical
sides, cOlOred Americans ought to
vote not so much for a few faVOrs
from Democrats or Republicans in
the coming presidential election;
they ought just now and at least
this once, act, talk and vote their
belief in an ideal, a way of life
they can really believe in. For
whom shall they vote? First of all,
let them find out who the candi-
dates, all of them, / mean, are, and
what they really stand for. Suppose
their vote turns out to be a mere
protest vote? That's just it; let ii
be a mere protest vote" It's time
we were protesting, acting with
honesty and integrity. A few jobs
would be nothing to lose in ex-
change for so cleansing and purify.
ing an experience. Besides, a large
Negro protest vote would probably
do more for COlOred Americans
than anything.

Furniture Grouping
Should Have System

Grouping furniture for usefulness
such as for reading, sewing, or writ
ing makes the room inviting because
1t suggests what one may do when
he enters, say specialists in home
furnishings at Michigan State col
lege.
The furniture should be grouped
for a purpose, and separate pieces
should not be left alone. Single
pieces appear isolated and useless,
as few persons sit down and do moth
ing. Desks are useless without
chair and lamp. and so are tables
unless they are near a person who
is sewing, reading, or working on a
hobby.
Activities of the various members
Of the family should be considered
when one is planning the various
furniture groups. For instance, the
living room may have one or more
reading groups. These reading
groups usually consist of two chairs
turned toward each other with a
table and lamp between.
Every living room needs a day
bed, a couch, or a davenport to en-
able one to rest without having to
use a regular bed. If there is no
space in the living room, the day
bed may be placed in the dining
room, or even in a corner Of the
kitchen.
In addition to adding an appear
ance of order and neatness, group
ing the furniture gives the effect Of
adding space.
