MOrrisOn's Funeral
Home RemOdeled

Uninterruptedly carrying on its
business with courage and faith I'M
daunted by the losses and the handi-
cap caused by a recent fire, Morrison's
Funeral Home, COB Mass. Ave, is now
completely remodelled and redeco-
rated and stands out as one of the
most attractive funeral homes in Bos-
ton and New England.
No part of the establishment escaped
the ravages of the fire. But all traces
of the misfortune have been obliterated
from every department. Offices, chap
ell, operating room, supply room, music
room, all have undergone thorough re-
novation and present bright new-like
appearance.
The chapel especially is noteworthy.
1t differs strikingly from the usual.
That deep sombreness prevalent in
many funeral homes is absent. Instead,
the furnishings and the color scheme
of subdued brightness create a less de-
pressive atmosphere while not lessen
ing its dignity and solemnity. The
management has received many favor
able comments on this latest phase of
modernity.
Added also are a new voice ampli-
fer and furniture supplementing the
equipment Of the music room. A sys-
TEN of air-conditioning has also been
installed which makes for comfort even
when the chapel is crowded. Visitors
are invited at any time to inspect the
home and will, as always, be courteous
ly welcomed.

The Meaning
Of Christmas

THE CHRISTMAS SEASON is
upon us. 1t should be the most
serious yuletide which any Ameri-
can ever experienced. Our own ex-
traordinaly good fortune is tnat
Of living in a county still at peace
and bending every effort to guar
antee continuance of the demo =.
cratic way Cf life. This ''tGtaP'
war has meant total elimination
from productive life for millions
of minority racial groups caught
in its path.
But the American democratic
way of life, in spite Of any just
criticisms one might make of it.,
is extending itself in trying TO
maintain the free spirit of its mi
nority racial group. Negroes anG
Jews are being given recognition
in high and low places that they
probably would not get in more
normal times. So let us be truly
glad that Christ was born. This
should be Christmas of prayer
and good deeds.

Seeing and Saying BY william Il. Fou1x<,

Chriat, whose birthday is be-
ing celebrated this week
throughout the civilized world,
was the first great affecteur of
interracial goodwill. Although
His gospel went first to the
Jews and then to the Gentiles,
He stressed throughout His
teaching the love, tolerance
and respect of ones neighbOr.
He fed the multitude with the
''lOaves and fishes regardless
of color or belief. He recognized
individual differences in men
and that the best could come
out of the combination of those
differences in the selection OF
His Disciples and His instruc-
ton as to the vital, yet differ
ent, tasks they were to per-
form in the spread of Chris
tianity. He taught against hat
red and for love, for under
standing in the utmost. He be-
lieved in correcting the evils in
the institutions as He found
them. He lived what He be-
ieved; His beliefs were of
righteousness and justice.
The entire world, as well a
America, might take stock of itsel
lis Christmas season and move
% the accomplishment Of good
will and understanding among al
he peoples of the earth. Then
vars would be forever out Of or
Ter and peace the theme of al
1ourS, forevermore.

TALLAHASSEE, Florida - Two
kilograms, one each from Floridas

the news to the tireless, devoted
President j. r. E. Lee that he
has succeeded once more in pro-
curing another much needed build
ing for Florida A. & M. College
that the institution is to have
new library to replace the out
grown one which was erected in
1903.
The first telegram to President
Lee was OF December 13, from

unqualifiedly. Their opponents
answered the question, IN ef-
feet, after the whites have
got theirs" Their opponents
were elected, since their an
swers suited the primary cleo
tOrate.
An active, effective interracial
committee would have made it its
business to attack the principal in
volved in the answers CT that
query. 1t would have pointed out
that the truly democratic way
would be 10 have equitable dis8i-
button of educational funds for all
its citizen children. 1t would form
such a hold On the electorate that
any candidate who dared to op-
pose the application of democracy
to American life would be killed in
his political life at the start. IN
stead,a new application Of "old
Crder' ideals is becoming the thing
of the day. Democracy, as the Con-
stitution fathers intended it. is
definitely on the wane. Americans
are saving that they want true
Americanism" to live but they are
learning lessons" from the dicta-
torships and liking them as the
required" American way.
What this large interracial COM
mittee and its necessary branches
could do would constitute the ap-
plication of democracy such as we
have never seen before The Con-
stitution would mean something in
its entirety and that would be a
free way CT living for Americans
regardless of race, creed or color.

training appropriation was made
amplified this provision thusly
"Al applications for training, in
Guiding minority racial groups,
should be considered to their
ability to participate in the train
ing program for national defense. u
COULD BE TWISTED
This of course could be twisted
by some to mean that since f1e-
groes are not now given employ
ment in these factories, there is no
point in training them, but that is
crossing the bridge before reach
ing it.
The point is we should get busy
and see that our schools are given
a proportionate share of these
funds allotted to train all Ameri-
cans as skilled workers. Sadly
enough, few OF our secondary
schools and fewer still of our COL
leges are now participating in this
program. They are still too busy
turning out preachers and teach
ers. ~
A good example is the situation
in Atlanta. The white high schools
and a state technical college are
opened day and night teaching
white youth the secrets of operat-
ing machine tools, metal lathes,
and the intricasies of the air
plane motor. Not a single Negro
school in a city which prides itself
on being the reader in Negro edu-
cation offers any course of this
nature.
THAT "REFRESHER" COURSE
Knowing the provisions of the
defense training appropriation bill,
the power that be to keep in the
clear" nave started one course at
the Atlanta Negro high school.
And CT all things, it merely offers
carpenters "refresher'' training
one wonders if that is what the
Atlanta board of education calls
eliminating discrimination in the
matter of defense training.
But the board of education
should not be fully blamed. After
all, they are mot going to do any
more than is asked of them. Our
pduna tnI,c ond oiIr civin leaders are
equally to blame for not demand
ing that Negro youths be given a
tull proportionate share. Until
they do, Atlanta youths, like other
youths throughout the Southland
will be denied this training. And
as long as they are not trained
the cry for jobs will have very
hollow ring.
