Editors Note: Because of the
time element many executive Of
icers of many important Organiza-
tons were not invited to the hast
lily arranged preview of the Birth
of a Nation" The .preview was
arranged in a bare hour and it was
impossible for the individual who
arranged it to phone everybody in
town as much as he would have
liked. However. preview or no
preview, there has been constant
opposition to the showing of that
film by this cOuntry's leading or
CARNATIONS, including the N. A. A.
C. p, church groups, educators, and
wOmen's clubs, white and black, for
over Is years. There are thou
sands of leading people, Negro and
white, who have not viewed the pic
ture but are willing to take the
word of their fellow citizens for
its base appeal to race prejudice.
Many of them did not see the race
riots caused by this picture, either,
but they did occur. Thousands of
people passed the Esquire theatre
during the films six day run and
hundreds of them would not go in
because they knew its reputation
and saw white and cOIOred persons
picketing in protest against its
showing.
In our notes on the Birth of a
Nation" controversy there was no
editOrializing on who passed the
picket line or who did not. Our
correspondents wrote only what
they saw. They did see the presi-
dent of the Minnesota Association
of COlOred Women pass the picket
line into the theatre. That's what
they reported and that's what we
printed. This paper or none of its
workers asked the president of the
WOmen's Clubs to go through that
line, neither was she asked not to.
Neither did we criticize her. Sure

A PENNY A DAY CLUB

Editor: A penny a day from ten
thousand adult Negroes in the
Twin Cities would mean 800 a
day. In a year this accumulated
saving would be $4,000. In ten
years we would have 1855, 1000. Of
course, this pooling of money would
have to be done on a cooperative
basis. But with $365,000 in our
hands, we could buy shares in the
Associated Negro Credit Union and
put 100000 on deposit in the
same union, buy shares in our To-
cal newspapers and still have
enough left over to have four first
class grocery stores, two in each
city, four cooperative gas sta
tions, four modern equipped
churches with cushioned seats and
air conditioning, and two co-opera-
tive farms and still have a surplus
of money.
No bylaws or rituals or re-
ligious faith is needed to join.
If this kind of a saving club
meets your approval, l will be your
bonded treasurer.

A Prize

IA Il Il AA\
A prize is the result of successful
efforts,
That an individual gets when he
resorts
To try and succeed, he'll do his
best
Since a prize is stimulating in any
contest.
First place can always win prize,
So everyone in a contest must
fully realize,
That good enough or just so is not
enough,
Competition being keen the going
may be rough.
Our aims and desires should ever
be,
To give the best and try and see
If in a new experience we can't
disprove,
The idea we don't know when and
how to move.
AS a race we have to win some
prize,
To let the other group firmly
realize,
We are a potent factor in any
game,
Just give us a chance to prove the
same.
Some prizes we get are dearly
bought,
Because of the way in which
they're sought,
Maybe it was mercenary means
that got returns,
To some results are all that
concerns.
Let US seek and struggle with one
single thought,
That we are going to give the best
and naught,
But such as that will ever cross
our way
When making perfection our goal
every day.

Mrs. Duncan Defends Her
Crossing of Birth of
Nation Picket Lines
Anril ia lQ4n

Aprll II, IS4U.
Editor: | was interested and
concerned in reading in my Mime
apolis Spokesman of April IL, your
comments regarding those who
crossed the picket line to see The
Birth of a Nation at the Esquire
theater.
In your article you state that the
president of the State Federation
of ColOred Women's Clubs went
over this picket line. Although l
hold an executive office, was not
informed that a preview of this
picture was to be run for the bene-
fit of a representative committee
concerned for the we'll being of our
group.
Inasmuch as this Aim is % years
old and l had only hearsay evil
dence as to what this film por-
trayed, / felt that / could not sign
any protest as State President I'M
til l viewed the film myself as l
feel l am perfectly capable of MAX
ing my own decisions.
After seeing the picture l would
not be guilty of signing my name
to approve of this picture being
shown, for 1 feel that a picture like
The Birth of a Nation is a disgrace
to both groups, black and white.
AS the First Lady of our land went
over the picket line to see film, so
did I, since was not asked to view
the picture with the committee nor
was any other member of the State
Federation of Colored Women's
Clubs of Minneapolis or St. Paul
asked for their opinion in voicing
this protest.
So since we are all singing "God
Bless America" for its broadmind-
edness, liberality, FREE dom of
speech and action, 1 say to the
writer of the remarks about the
State President, to first take the
beam out of his own eye and that
will enable him to take the mote
out of mine.
Sincerely yours,

BLUE SKIES LURE
 JUNEAUITES TO
 HOLIDAY PLEASURE

A holiday exodus emptied Juneau of everyone who has a summer home on the, beach, a boat, friends to visit in the country or chance to go fishing.
 Fishing trips started last night One party flew to Lake Hassel- borg, others aboard boats took to favorite fishing grounds around Juneau.
 Sea Scouts left aboard the MS. Messenger for an outing.
 Blue skies and warm sunshine afforded perfect holiday weather.
 Many of those who remained in Juneau for the Memorial Day pro- gram this morning were on the highway country-bound soon after taps were sounded and the dedi- cation of the Founders Placque was completed.
 For those in town there will be a Douglas-Elks baseball game in Firemen's ball park at 6:30 o'clock tonight.
 And, for most of Juneau, plenty of sunburn tomorrow and fish for Fridays dinner.
