CHALLENGE TO NEGRO

And Use of the Ballot Are
Potent Weapons

No race can be stronger than
its women-Those home-makers
and home builders in whose hands
rests the destiny of people, who
serve quietly, brayely, and without
complaint-whose toll makes it
possible for children to live in
comfort and happiness, and for
brothers, sons, fathers and hus-
bands to face the world with cou-
rage and vigor in the knowledge
that there is someone at home who
cares, and who understands; whose
inspiration makes the hard way
easy and whose companionship
makes the rough way smooth-The
Women whose unselfishness makes
possible the great opportunities

denied their mothers when they
were young.
Had it not been for the women
of the Negro race who have
dreamed their dreams, made their
struggles and sacrifices, and kept
their homes and their families to-
gether, even in the face of terri
fic odds and tremendous difficult
ties, and unbelievable problems,
the racial progress made in the
three hundred years of the Negroes
sojourn in America could never
have been possible.

NAVAL NOTES

Data recently released by the
Navy Department regarding the
educational status of men enlisted
in the Navy during the past three
years indicate that these men are
above the pre-depression group
(men tested in 1929) in general
intelligence, mechanical aptitude,
years of school completed, and in
ability to express themselves in
correct English.
These figures disclose the fact
that only 1872 percent of the men
enlisted in the representative
months of June and December 1899
lover 1000 men) had had no high
school instruction, that 80 percent
had just completed high school.
and that 81 percent had attended
college.
ION Norman ships of war in
the twelfth century, wooden towers
were placed on the main deck to
fight from. The one forward was
the forward castle and the other,
the after castle The after castles
have long since disappeared from
naval vessels but the forecastles
still survives.
Did you know that Walter Win
chell got his start in the Navy. He
enlisted in 1917 and was assigned a
secretarial role aboard the USS
ISIS. He remained aboard until
the cessation of hostilities, when
he started putting his line in print.
He is now a Lieutenant in the
Naval Reserve.
Due to the large expansion in
the Navy, the number of vacancies
in petty officer ratings in all
branches will increase greatly
Greater opportunity of advance
ment in the many technical fields
will result, since due to the trade
training and skill necessary to
operate our modern ships, almost
half of all men in the Navy must
be petty officers in the higher pay
grades.

THIS WEEK IN RELIGION AND
THOUGHT
Robert L. Moody
The Year, 194O-

The Year, 1940-
This year will be very important
for two things: ID 1t is Presiden-
tial election time and (2) the time
to take United States Census. Much
need not be said about the election
but one point should be stressed,
namely: read and study the prob
lens at issue and endeavor to vote
for the pest program that will
Immediately solve the problems.
1t will be wise to begin now to
study the real facts before poll
teal "crack pots" begin to lie and
stretch the facts.
Special attention should be given
the census. We should not hesitate
to give all truthful information
asked by the census taker. This
information is not to work against
your job, political or social free
dom, but it is for the general well
fare of the government and all of
the people. Intelligent government
and society depends upon intelli-
gent citizens. 1t is our duty to
know and reveal the facts.
The past year has been a very
eventful one. War, political intri-
CUES, earthquakes and economic
upheavals had serious effects. Yet
we have much to be grateful for
and greet this new year with much
Joy and hope.
