 Is Stressed
Red Cross Issues Sugges- lions How 10 Avoid
 Accidents

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7-Haroid F Enlows, National Director of Red Cross First Aid and Life Saving Service has compiled the following ice skating rules to avoid accidents during the winter sports season.
 Skate only at places where. the ice has been carefully tested and found to be strong enough to hold skaters.
 Never skate alone. If an acci- dent should occur, no assistance would be available.
 Never skate at night in a place that is not lighted. Breaks or other imperfections are too hard to see and may result in serious accil dent.
 In attempting to rescue those who have broken through the ice, MT Enlows suggests the following:
 Never attempt to rescue without a ladder, plank or tree limb. These should be placed on the ice near the break so the rescuer may crawl out, distributing his weight over the greatest area. If rope is availl able and the victims hands are too numb to grasp it, the rescuer should first tie it securely to something on shore before going after the victin,. Then if the ice should break through it is still possible to pull yourself and the victim ashore.

A CALL CONFERENCE

A state wide conference on civil rights has been
called by the Civil Rights Federation OF Michigan
which will open here in Detroit on February g. Among
the subjects to be discussed are Freedom of Speech
Pres; and Assembly, Picketing, Censorship, Aliens
Rights; Minority Parties Police Brutality, Vlgllant-
ism and Race Discrimination Without question the
discussion of these issues will be OF supreme mpor
lance to the colored ctzenry of the state 1t Is sig
nifcant too that John P Davis, executive secretary
of the National Negro Congress, will be one OF the
principal speakers during the two-day meeting.
The hysteria brought upon us by reverberatlons
of the conflict in Europe has stimulated the crack
pots of the country and given rise to teverlsh pa
trntism less patriotism than fever Unemployment
and our domestic problems have added to the social
storm and stress In this confusion there is evidence
of forces at work which are inimica to democracy
forces which would destroy the principles and ideals
underlying our popular government. 1t is tme IN
short, when the weak and underpriveged may easily
be crushed in the rush Of big events.
The rights of minorities and the rights OF the
individual have been violated in the name of self
defense and American Peace. 1t is dangerous to hold
an opinion~not shared by leader who points his
finger and yells traitor A Negro who wants better
housing and higher wages is pictured as Communist
If YOU object to discrimination in the Army and
Navy based on color, you are un-American. In the
interest of the preservation of our freedom the civil
Rights Federation believes great step forward can
be made by calling together those who suffer from
such iniusceS We Negroes of Detroit should be rep
resented by the thousands, for can bear witness
to injustces unknown to other groups.

HORSE SENSE

Now that most of our Congressman down in
Washington are pulling out their hair over the pro-
posed loan to Finland and others urging loans to
China and elsewhere we feel that the time is oppor-
tune to announce that National Sharecroppers
Week" has been proposed by group of eighty-five
Americans of both races The group includes DR..
w. E. B. Dubois Mayor LaGuardia, A. Philip Ran
dolph, Oswald Garrison Willard and host of other
national figures. According to news releases the
"Week" which will be celebrated during March, was
instituted ito acquant the public with the share
cropper problem and to raise funds to finance a
program of remedial action"
Indeed, charity should begin at home and not in
China. We have deep sympathy for the plight of
fighting foreigners and we do not object to the ideals
of our former President Hoover, who has shown him
self diligent in the alienation of human misery. We
do, however, wish to point out that when has
rubbish on his own doorstep, he does not jump over
it to clean the doorstep of another 1t just isn't done
in cultivated circles. There those, must admit
who never look at their own doorstep
Nowhere in the world today are there people who
are more worthy of aid, private and public, state
and national than the sharecroppers of the South
These people have been called the disinherted" They
have been caught short in system calculated to kill
them as surely as any weapon known to man. Our
literature in recent years has brought to the aten
ton of all America the tragic plight of millions of
fellow citizens, white and black alike who liter
ally waging war far more terrible than battle
front Mothers, wives and children have to fight for
pitiabe existence. These people live here in America

Listen to this: Congress is now
assembled. More than 500 repre-
sentatives from the different states
have gathered at the seat OF govern
ment. AS citizens and electors we
assume that these representatives
are the choice of the majority of
the citizens of the states from which
they come, and that they are strong.
capao Ole and trustworthy statesmen.
We assume that these representa-
tives Of this great nation and all
OF its citizens have laid aside their
personal detectives, their political
ambitions, their sectional differen-
ces, party prejudices and racial
hates.
We assume that they will transact
the nations business in a manner
and enact laws that these troubled
times, and that air laws and eco
nomic structure will be so corrected
as to give American rights and
justices to all. But s we follow the
proceedings of Congress we are con-
WINGED that just another Congress
has assembled. Already its membecs
are lining up for the great battle
politician against politician, faction
against faction, Republicans against
Democrats, Democrats against Re-
publicans, Conservatives agains.
Liberals, Reactioners against New
Dealers-and so the great political
battle goes on with the November
election as the goal and political.
personal and party victories as the
detectives. Constructive and worthy
measures will be forgotten, cast
aside or voted down for political
purposes. This Congress has come
and will pass on, the same as others
with the masses holding the bag.
