PERSONALITIES IN
THE NEWS
By Estyr Bradley

In looking over the exhibits at
the State Fair this week, noticed
that outstanding in the sculpture
group was the model of a monu-
ment of Leonidas Merritt erected
at Mountain Iron, Minnesota, and
sculptured by Robert Neal Crump
of the Federal Artists Project.
The monument stands IA feet 6
inches high and weighs over four
tons. It was cast of crushed gran
tie and cement. Merritt was one
of the seven pioneer prospectors
for iron and lived from 1844-1926.
:. That famous. Doll House of the
Halle @. Brown Doll club was on
exhibit and won a ribbon. It's
truly all that Bee Vassar claims it
is and no wonder the Doll club
members are showing it off to the
public next Sunday. Incidentally,
Bee wants me to tell you, and you,
and you, that the little Doll club
members will be awfully disap-
pointed if you don't show up at
their tea. The date is Sunday,
September 8, and the hours from
two to five. They will take a silver
offering to defray the expenses Of
the house. Then, in the Nurs-
cry School exhibit, prominent
among the pictures displayed, was
one of "Doc" Crump examining

School with Mama Dotty looking
on. In the Handicraft exhibit
among the pictures displayed was
one also from the Halle with

Defense Advisory
Commission Rules
No Discrimination

Washington, D. c. - The Ma
tional Defense Advisory Commits
sion this week initiated steps to-
ward opening the doors of defense
industries to qualified workers
without regard to race, color, age,
or sex. A statement of labor policy
made public by the Advisory Com
mission to the Council of National
Defense includes a protective clause
asserting that workers should not
be Disseminated against because of
age, sex, race, or color"
The Commissions labor policy
states Cali work carried on as a
part of the defense program should
comply with Federal statutory pro-
visions affecting labor wherever
such provisions are applicable" the
statement declares. "This applies
to the Walsh-Healy Act, Fair La
Dor Standards Act, the National
Labor Relations Act, etc. There
should also be compliance with
state and local statutes affecting
labor relations, hours of work,
wages, workmen's compensation,
safety and sanitation"
Every effort should be made to
absorb surplus and unemployed la
Dor, according to this statement of
policy. In order to do this "all rea-
sonable efforts should be made to
avoid hours in excess of 40 per
week. However, in emergencies or
where the needs of the national de-
tense cannot otherwise be met, ex-
ception to this standard should be
permitted"
The non-discrimination clause in
the Defense Commissions labor
policy statement is similar to pro-
tective measures developed by DR..
Robert c. Weaver, Administrative
Assistant in the Labor Supply Di-
vision of the Defense Commission,
for the Public Works Administra-
ton and the United States Housing
Authority when he was employed
by these agencies. These meas
ures made it possible for Negro
building trades workers to- earn
approximately 100000 in the
construction of low-rent housing
projects alone.
Other agencies participating in
the national defense program have
Likewise taken steps to assure
equitable participation of Negroes.
Both the Work Projects Admins
tration and the United States Office
OF Education, charged with the vo-
cational training phases of the pro-
gram, have issued statements BAN
ming discrimination. GAIL appli-
cants for training, including minor
ity racial groups, should be consid-
cred according to their ability to
participate in a training program
for national Defense" the Office of
Education has announced. WPA
likewise has adopted regulations
forbidding discrimination because
of race, creed, or color. -.

Work
Camp Experiment
Great Success

What was considered by all a
noble experiment had it's final
meeting last Friday at Halle Q.
Brown Community House where
the "Work Camp" has been in OPP
Grafton during the past five weeks.
Working at Halle Q. Brown
House and living at the Christian
Center on Central Avenue the
Work Camp has done for it's men,
bers a service that could never
have been done in any other way.
One University lad of % years
who halls from Wisconsin stated
that he has learned and practiced
what he learned more in this short
span of five weeks than he ever
learned at any period of his life.
"This business of practicing
non-prejudice and open minded
ness becomes a difficult thing un-
der social pressure. We found out
personally for ourselves whether
or not we could take it when a
group of US Negro and white were
the guests of Miss Garden at a Pop
Concert and felt the eyes of skep-
teal whites upon us. That was a
real test of our faith in our own
convictions" These were the words
of a young woman student in the
Camp.
The Work Camp was made up
of students from California, Iowa,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri
and one refugee from Czecho
SloYakia who added much to the
educational aspects of the pro-
gram.
Community participation was
excellent. Mrs. Josie Williams,
president of N. A. A. C. P. had the
campers as guests in her home for
a social evening.
John Culver of the Mems Coun-
Gil; John Harper, parents club of
the Nursery School; Tom Cam
bridge, Riverview Willing Work
ers, all gave a hand in aiding the
men campers to recondition the
playground lot for the Nursery
School children. The condition in
which the kiddy korner is today
represents a lot of work.
Perhaps those who did not have
a chance to give service might
wish to contribute toward a fence
that the mems Council is endeav-
oring to buy to enclose the newly
sodded playground. Lathrop Rog-
ers, Rhetus Fletcher, Dolphie Nc
Watt and his dad, w. B. Baines,
and his son, A. Wooten, James
Lee, Theodore Ruffner, Richard
Powell and others whose names
will appear later were persons who
actually shovelled dirt, levelled the
ground and laid the sod. It was
hard work but the spirit of work
and cooperation was above par.
The Women's International
League for Peace and Freedom
and Halle @. Brown are to be
complimented on the excellent ex-
periments in Better Race Rela-
tions. The experiment was better
than theory or meetings. It was
practice and experience in race
lettering race relations.-B. F.
