Use OF
Ballot
Urged
Alpha Phi Alpha
Regional Starts
With Public Meet
ATLANTA, Ga.-(SNS)-

ATLANTA, Ga.-(SNS)-
"JuSt registering and voting is
not enough" FORESTER B. Wash
ington, director of the Atlanta
University School of Social Work
told delegates to the Southern
Regional Conference of the Alpha
Phi Alpha fraternity Friday night,
adding that ''the ballot means Moth
it.,
Mr.. Washington was principal
speaker at the public meeting of
the conference held in First Con-
gregational Church. He was intro
duced by Nel-on c. Jackson, chair
man of the conference committee
while B. T. Harvey presided.
IN LINE WITH ALPHA
PROGRAM
Declaring that his address was
in line with the Alpha Phi Alpha
program of promoting increased
citizenship participation, Mr.. Wash
ington cited the blind faith Of
many Negroes in the Republican
partv because Lincoln signed the
Emancipation Proclamation" and
the adherence of others to the
Democratic party because Roose-
welt fed a few of us during the de-
preston" as the failure to think In
making use of the ballot.
He pointed to the current rapid
growth of the third party move
ment under the impetus of John l..
Lewis and his CIO as offering pos
sibilities to Negro voters, though
carefully stating that his was not
the mission to urge support of this
movement.
"The present third party move
ment," he said, ''iS unlike any
previous effort in that powerful
groups have come beneath its ban
ner."
The coalition, he pointed out.
has taken in organized aged groups
youth groups, labor. liberals and
strong bids are being made to
bring Negro voters within its fold.
SWITCHING is UPHELD
Smart minority strategy" the
speaker explained ''is to be Repub-
lican in some sections, Democratic
in others and even Socialist if it is
TO our advantage to line up that
way. 1t is not even bad in the
light of the present day crisis to
be Republican one year and Demo-
cratic the next" he asserted.
Mr.. Washington was preceded by
Dr.. H. Council Trenholm, South
ern regional vice president of the
fraternity and c. w. Greene. presi-
Gent of Eta Lambda Chapter,
which is celebrating its Goth ami
versary in connection with the
regional conference. Both extended
greetings to the visiting brothers.
"Ours is the opportunity to con-
ceive the possibility of the frater1l-
ity to give service to the commun-
ity," Dr.. Trenholm, who is president
of Alabama State College asserted
1--WE must stimulate manhood
and rededicate ourselves to pre-
petuate our noble heritage" he
concluded.
EARLY CHAPTER DAYS

recalled with fond remembrance.

it was first organized as an under

Spirit OF Christmas

AS the Christmas season draws near,
the idea of giving is paramount with many
of u.s. And the gift idea is pleasant one
which usually results in happiness the
spirit symbolical of Christmas. But as we
give let us think not only of our friends
and our famil ies but of those who are less
fortunate than we and often times lack
the comforts and necessities of life.
Perhaps you know of some individual
case where comparatively small gift on
your part will mean the difference be-
tween bright and happy Christmas, and
day of sadness.
There are many families in -Ashe county
which are to be aided, in a measure by
various organizations which richly deserve
your support and cooperation. These or
CARNATIONS ask for little help, but when
they do, lend them a helping hand in order
that they may aid many others, and in so
doing, spread Christmas cheer throughout
our county.
The American Legion and Auxiliary will
collect toys, food and clothing and will pre-
pare and distribute baskets to the less for
tunate families of veterans. This is an an
nual project ofthese two organizations and
results in comfort and joy to many who
might otherwise be forgotten on Christmas.
The Woman's Club will remember the
tubercular families of the county, and the
Rotary Club will send message of cheer
to the crippled children. There are Sunday
Schools and other organizations which
plan to remember many Of those in the
county to whom Christmas would be 'just
another day., if they were not to receive
some aid
Many of us never stop to consider how
little it might take to assure Merry
Christmas to those who have few of LIES
comforts. It may be some inexpensive
clothing, a small amount of food, tiny
doll or candy for child. Let's remember
that Christmas is as merry as we make it,
for ourselves and others, and let's work
together to make it a happy Christmas for
everyone. Remember the words of the Mas
ter, "it is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive" =
