SELr = An I'M social Sc
curity is well exemplified
in the figures given out by
Uncle Sam on the investments
made in u. 5. savings bonds.
Some 100000 individuals
have made purchases and out
of that number but Is per-
cent made income tax re-
turns. The bonds are the
most widely-held securities in
the world. They represent a
tremendous effort by some
six million families to provide
for their own future and their
own social security.
The figures are evidence
that folks whose incomes pro-
vide even the smallest margin
of opportunity to save for
their own future security are
willing and anxious to do so.
The figures provide their own
sermon.
A SPLENDID example of CO.

part of the officer on the beat

ness on the street is afforded
in results obtained recently
on Market street by Officer
Dick Rodius. The results OBJ

might. Traffic congestion on
certain days on Market street
was almost insurmountable.
Officer Rodius made a per-

and employees, and succeeded
in having personal cars park
ed elsewhere for the benefit |
of customers. An efficient |
and diplomatic policy brought |
large results. The consuming
public found opportunity to
park cars, make purchases,
and left a chance for other
customers to make similar
purchases after they left.

level they must have the advantage
OF the collective training of their
youth pitched OH the highest level
of efficiency. These youth must not
only be given an opportunity OF
devoting the entire Sc months OF
college esidence in career prep
aration, but the college must en-
courage them to do so by with
drawing from their view such pow
erfully fascinating distractions as
intercollegiate football.
ALL-IMPORTANT TASK
Negro youth has got to be induct-
ed into a strict educational disci-
Fire and made conscious of its util-
ity. This is the all important task
Of their colleges. An objection to
this will be that youth must have
its fun-granted as true. But fun
of the type provided by weekly
football "jozz sessions is non prof
liable educationally and drains the
emotiona system without proper
compensation.
There most certainly should be
fun and joy in the process of pre-
pairing for life. However, it is to
be found in the educational prep
aration. Certainly fun is Short-liv-
ed if youth enter into a world, af-
ter finishing college, that is not in
the least interested in the number
| of touchdoWns collected in foot
ball competition.
BAD SOCIAL INHERITANCE
There is far too much evidence
to the effect that Negroes have a
social inheritance from slavery OF
letting the majority racial group
do their serious thinking and life
planning for them not to be con-
vinced of it's existence. However
it can be truthfully stated that the
| ma jority racial group is facing too
many personal problems of survi-
val to think much about Negro
survival. In fact. it is probably a
relief for them that Negroes "fid-

This column here and now pre-

The coming winter probably will

with hunger and famine due tc
Germany's constant drainage of
food products and the materials
necessary to life and comfort.

under the lash of the German
masters" when they are starved,
intimidated and otherwise put to a
disadvantage as Slaves" When
they rebel, there will be bloodshed,
on both sides, to be sure.
Too much rebellion will kill
Hitler and his influence. His pow
er of bullets will have no lasting
quality over the rise of free ideas
and the desire for freedom. The
fight for freedom among men has
never ceased and will not cease be-
fore the totalitarian thrust. Ger
