MARCUS JAMES
CHOSEN SPEAKER

Another nail was driven into the
coffin of racial prejudice in America a
few days ago, when the authorities of
the world-famous International House
of Harvard announced that Marcus
James, the only colored member of that
institution, had been elected dele
gate to represent the House at the an
nual International Student Conference
held at the University of New Hamp-
shire. Apart from various social activi-
ties engaged in at that conference, there
was a very interesting group discussion
of "The effect of the War on European
and American Universities" Students
from almost every European and South
American country were present.
As is the custom, every year one of
the delegates is chosen to address the
Community Church of Durham, New

DEACON BAGBY

Sterling Bagby, sexton of Peoples
Baptist Church of Boston for nearly a
quarter of a century, died suddenly on
Monday, May 81 as the result of a heart
attack. He was II.
The death of Mr.. Bagby came as a
great shock to members of the church
and the neighborhood for he had en-
joyed unusually good health. During
his more than % years of service he had
not experienced a full week of sickness.
He had served under Revs. Benjamin
F. Fal1is, Charles johnson, Erin Fuller

sohdated with another Baptist Church

Of Peoples Baptist Church. He was
ordained a deacon by Rev. Erin Fuller

ing.

ing Johnson's Funeral Home had

YERGAN ANSWERS
CONGRESS CRITICS

In his address at Zion Church here
President Max Yergan Of the National
Race Congress said in part:
"The most effective means the Con-
gross has for dealing with the issues
facing colored people is through its
organized strength. The demands, the
pressure, the ceaseless education and
agitation which can be put forth by
this strength is bound to obtain re-
suits. 1t follows then that the imme-
date task of the Congress is to in
crease its strength. How is this to
be done? The obvious answer is by
bringing into the fold of the Congress
a vast number of organized bodies.
The Congress is a federated body not
only in its organizational structure
but in its fundamental philosophy and
policy. The strength of unity and the
consequent result of unified action are
automatic, are known to everybody
Our task then is to work ceaselessly
for the largest possible utilization to
Congress of organized groups of
people.
'In compliance with instructions
which the National Board of the Con-
gress received from the Congress it
self assembled in Washington, the
National Board has given evidence of
the will and ability of the Congress to
utilize its strength in concerted action
with another organization. I refer to
the recent conference between repre-
sentatives of the Congress and of
Labor's Non-Partisan League. AS all
delegates are aware l as president of
the Congress, along with John P.
Davis, oar national executive secre-
-. ). Henry johnson, national vice
president, met with John L. Lewis,
chairman and E. L. Oliver executive

economical field for of certainty such
patronage will mean more opportuni-
ties for our youth"
Scores Jealousy of Buyers
One of the most discouraging things
that has ever faced businessman is
the unfair and unfounded jealousy of
buyers. People soon get the idea that
they are making someone rich and at
once begin to center their buying pow
er elsewhere. DR.. jackson pointed out
that this failing is due in no small
measure to women as they are SEEM
ingly more susceptible to petty jea-
lousies. On the other hand, the speak
er was loud in his warning against
poorly managed business. Sometimes
it is the case wherein the owner
doesn't understand full well the prin-
ciples of good business and as a re-
suit goes on spending sprees each
week, reulting only in the eventual
breakdown of his much-needed capital
reserve.
Dollars and Sense the Keynote of
Success
The time-aged philosophy of buying
where you can get the most for your
money and in return do the most by
your purchase was never before more
wildly put as when the speaker urged
the audience to spend their dollars
with sense. "In this fight for economic
stability, it would be well", DR.. Jack
son said, "for our people to concen-
trate their purchasing power on those
enterprises which offer our race en-
ployment." Having done this, the
race, as whole, will have contributed
something lasting to its economic Sc
curity.

State Treas. Hurley

will speak on Thirty Years in Public

by the WPA Adult Recreation Project
in the William Municipal Building, 65
West Brookline St., South End, on
Tuesday, June 4, at 7 AS pm.
The State Treasurer's early life was
spent in the postal service, starting in
1898 when he was appointed a letter
carrier at the Boston Post Office. After
nine years service he was promoted to
postal inspector at Washington, D. c.,
and remained there until 1915 when he
returned to Boston as assistant post
master. In 1881 he was advanced to the

Dollars-and sense. That was the
theme of the discourse delivered by DIR.
James A. Jackson, who was presented
by the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity in
the interest of their annual Bigger
and Better Business Program at the
18th Baptist Church, Sunday last.
Despite the inclemency of the weather
there was representative crowd on
hand to greet one of the country's
foremost business specialists.
In a very fascinating way "Bill-
board" Jackson, as he is better known
throughout the country, explained the
seemingly stagnate status of business
among the colored group. Assuring
his attentive audience that it is moth
ing short of idle talk to say that bust
ness is anything but on the increase
among the race, he pointed out with
vivid illustrations and facts the rea-
sons for his contention.
Need is Business-NOt COlOred
Business
DR.. Jackson decried the stigmatiza-
ton of claiming race enterprises as
being Colored Business. Pointing out
the fallacy of such a statement he
said, whenever you claim an enter
prise to be 'colored business you at
once bring discrimination upon your
race. Such stigma can only mean
that the venture is not designed to
include all consumers but rather just
a small part. He urged all business
people to open their doors to all and
not depend solely on their own for sup
port. AS regards consumers he had to
say "you should at all times, whenever
and wherever possible, back to the
limit of your consumption those who
are endeavoring to progress in the
