Ubinkin0 ano Giving
BY ROBERT L. MOODY

Much of our time will be given to making lists of presents for
our friends. The true Christian and Christmas spirit should motivate
our giving. 1T is human to think of those who gave IS expensive
presents, We are tempted to let this determine the amount we will
spend on them this year. Or we might expect a person to give us
something very valuable and give them a present commensurate to
this expe. ion. o. 1T hand, we might remember that "Jane
gave ms a cheap handkerchief last year r Julia will not be able to
give m e much, SO i will not have to spend SO much on her.
Our giving should be governed by % Our ability to give; ~
The hincere spirit in which we may give the gift and C) The happin-
ess that the gift might bring to the receiver. Gifts to our close
friends ar not to be condemned, but we would do well to remember
those who m poorer than we. They, too, r. our friends and neigh
bors.
The worlds greatest gift was given to Is when we had nothing
to give in return, and when we were unworthy OF the gift God So
Loved the World, that He Gave His Only Begotten Son." God gave
Himself when He gave Christ. Let is give ourselves with the gift
because 1.-THE Gift without the Giver is Bare.

DEAN PICKENS
SPINGARN
MEDAL

, Chicago, Dec. 10 (AP) The Chi
cago Branch of the National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Colored People held its ANIMAL
meeting Thursday night and amid
considerable enthusiasm voted an
endorsement of Dean William Pic
kens for the 1941 Spingarn Medal.
President Ira w. Williams who
was reelected to serve his forth
term gave vocal evidence of the
spirit of the meeting. Mr.. Will
Jams said: I'm appreciation of the
work done by Mr.. Pickens not only
for the NAACP. but for the Ne
gro in every section of the coun-
try, l feel there should be some
fitting reward for the services he
has rendered. | see, therefore. no
reason why the Spingarn Medal
should not be his reward. The
Chicago Branch has gone on rec
ord as endorsing Dean Pickens to
be the proper person to receive
this award"
Captain Archie Weaver, for
years a prominent figure in NAA-
CP. circles and one of the moving
figures behind tn effort to give
this new distinction to the popular
Dean Pickens. announced that he
and President Thos. L. Griffith.
Jr., of Los Angeles were contact
ing every branch in the country,
asking them to give their express
sion to their preferences for the
person who should receive the
Spingarn award.
Mr.. Weaver in a formal state
ment said, william Pickens has
long merited some fitting reward
for his effective atainments in
bringing about a better understand
ing between the races and peoples
of the world, and especially in our
own country. His logic, wit and
humor have made him world fam
Gus. He is now approaching his
Goth anniversary and has given
his life to education and to the
eradication of prejudice.
"Mr. Pickens has appeared in
who's Who in America" each
year for thirty years. His more
than 10000 speeches to many mil
lions of people; his books; his
newspaper and magazine articles
as well as his personal contacts
have all made him an outstanding
character of our time. We r in
viting friends and the public gen
orally to acquaint the Spingarn
Committee with their viewpoint"

FIGHT MAYOR
OF DETROIT
AFTER POLICE CHIEF SLURS
RACE

Detroit, Dec. 10 (ANP)-Evef
since Police Commissioner FrAft
rrtmans made the bold asse4 ION
that he "didn't understand WI
Negroes object to being called
h;Reer' when they are called that
in books and on the stage" a whis
pering campaign, emanating from
several sources, is going the
rculds against Mayor Edward j.
Jeff1ies.
1t is recalled that the head of
the :ncal police department made
this statement in the presence of
co,ored leaders at a conference
with the mayor while protesting
az II st police brutality on the part
of some members of the police
fcrce.
The reason FOR the whispering
campaign against the mayor. as
oLlIHu ny u HIS'ibFi VI Vic pr
rcstiLf committee, "is because The
commissioner is appointed by the
mayor and the only way to get ria
OF a Lad police commissioner, who
upholds brutality and has the eff
frontery to flaunt his racial anti
pathy in the face of Negro leaders
calling them boys, is to get rid of
the mayor"
For a long time, undue brutality
on the part of the police towards
Negroes has been a bone of con-
tention here, and it seems that no
mayor has as yet given much con
sideration to the appointing of a
head for that department who
would attempt to curb it.
1t is being repeatedly stated
that colored voters helped to elect
the mayor and it is believed tina.
they can also help to defeat him.

MISS Eta MOTEN

Raleigh, N. c.. Dec. 10-Governor Clyde R. Hoey, expressed
great appreciation for the progress which the Negro people of the ma
ton and his state r making, along all lines, but particularly artis-
ticahy, in a brief interview which he held with Eta Molten, the singer,
in the executive offices here last week. Miss Moten, accompanied by
w. r. johnson. executive secretary of Negro work in the State De-
partment of Public Welfare, had called to meet the governor. The
charming visitor expressed her appreciation of the growing hberalty
and fairness which the State of North Carolina is exhibiting, declar-
ing that North Carolina could well serve S a pattern for some states
of the deep South, though she declared that in her travels, she found
improvement in racial relationships all over the South. She hoped,
however, for far greater social, economic and educational benefits to
the race, she said.
Miss Moten. who had given two concerts in Raleigh, one for st.
Paul Church, and one for st. Augustines College, was enroute to 9TH

CHAT WITH

Mr.. Z Milton Wilson, employed
by the Northwestern Bell tele-
phone company, son of Rev. Will
son, who pastored st. John AME.
Church for a number Of years, is
really making good on his new
job, according to the statement
made by Mr.. R. C. Pratt, Manager
of the Public Relation Department
of the Northwestern Bell telephone
company. Mr.. Wilson is one of
Omaha's most popular young men.
You never hear anything but some
thing good said about Milton Will
son. He possesses n of the
most even dispositions of anyone
we know. A jolly good fellow al
ways. The Negro population shout
be proud of his record in this new
position he now holds at the tele-
phone company. This type of re-
cord opens up new emu of EN-
ployment for our boys and girls
as they come out of SCHOOL,
The Northwestern Bell Tele-
phone Company is conscious OF its
duty in service to its customers
and in pro-rating employment to
the Negro race. This has been
proven by the past record.
Mr.. C. C. Galloway, acting edi-
tor of The Omaha Guide, some
years ago called a com'ittee of the
Mid-City section together, for the
purpose of organizing an unem-
ployed married mems council. At
ter forming the organization in the
office of The Omaha Guide. 1t
grew so fast that the meeting
place had TO be moved to the Nor
Inside Transfer building which
space was donated by Mr.. p. Hi
eronymous, Proprietor. Shortly
thereafter, President G. c. Gallo
way saw the need of a building to
serve the Unemployed Married
mems and their wives during the
lean days of a republican presi-
dent and a democratic house and
senate administration of 1930-31.
Mr.. Galloway appointed a commit
tee at 10 o'clock to call on Nh.
Belt, who was then President of
the Northwestern Bell telephone
company. Through MIR. K. ".
Sherman, of Edholm Sherman lau
ndry, who was chairman of the
executive board of the Unemploy-
ed Married Mems Council. AT
10 o'clock we were in conference
with Mr.. Belt in his office for the
purpose of securing the old vac
ant Webster building, 2213 Lake
street for temporary use of The
300 members of the Unemployed
Married Mems Council. At $50
P. M. Nh Belt telephoned Mr..
Sherman that our request had been
granted if we could comply with
the necessary requirements for the
protection of the telephone COMP
any in case of accident in the
building while it was in use. That
requirement was liability insur-
ance. When the insurance was Sc
cured, Mr.. Belt rented the building
to the council under a years lease
for the sum of one dollar.
Later on, it became necessary to
change the name from Unemploy-
ed Married Mems Council to Mid
CITY Community Center. Later
on, for the good of the commune
ty it became necessary to merge
the Mid-City Community Center
with the Urban League under the
administration of Mr.. j. Harvey
Kerns as executive secretary and
Nh. E. w. Sherman as candidate
for president. This all happened
10 years ago. So far as we know,
a dollar a year lease has been con
tinued from year to year and we
doubt that the dollar per year
