Facing
the
Facts
Pointed Paragraphs
By VIM. L. Sheriff.

Public Opinion is considered a
powerfuPweapon, a great asset, an
invaluable force. History is full of
the things it has done and helped
to do. 1t is the aggregate definite
opinion of the majority of the peo-
pie. It is the voice of the people,
the vox pOpui when they have be-
come one in mind, purpose, aim and
intent.
But the public opinion of Ne
groes is at present in our minds.
What does it really count for? Is
is potent or nil? Does it carry
weight or does it fall like a feath-
err? Is it considered dangerous or
harmless Is it a club with which
we can get action or is it a gesture
that merely provokes contempt?
We Can FOresee that the Negroes
struggle for full and complete par
ticipation in this, his America, will
be long and tedious process, and
impossible of accomplishment in
one or two generations. We know
the white mans ways; that he new
er stops; that he never rests. What
he cannot do in this generation he
will do in the next or the one after.
Knowing this, our duty to posterity
is clear. Not only must we make
a united fight against present day
evils which beset us, but we must
plan and build so as to safeguard
and strengthen the position of our
posterity who must carry on the
struggle.
The White Mans Effort to de-
grade the Negro and reduce him to
mental, moral and economic servi-
tude will only result in developing
in us racial character with which
others will find themselves unable
to measure arms. Just as physical
effort creates Drawn and muscle, so
will mental and moral struggle de-
velOp manhood and strength of
group consciousness.
In his effort to keep US from
sharing our white brother may
deny US many things, but he can
not take away our right to think,
Oar right to have character, our
right to be brave, our right to have
faith in ourselves, and our God and
hope in our future destiny. These
essentials, if practiced, will eventu-
ally bring the race those things for
which we struggle.
There is no virtue in being a
black man, white man, brown man,
ETC., any more than it is a sin to be
either of these. Race is just an
accident of nature. Proving worth
is an individual job. No matter
who we are by birth we are build
ers of our own fortune.
The Only Time to act is at the
right time. Too late is but little

Under Surveillance
By Morris Gibbs, Sr.


Negroes are constantly under
surveillance,
1t has been so for years,
Which breeds contempt and class
hatred
And its insidious fears.
This stigma, another form of
prejudice,
A barrier used by the other group,
Which we have to constantly
hurdle
Proving our equality, as We'll
never stoop.
It's unfair to Americas largest
minority
That this situation should exist,
There are many ideas for its
solution
But none seem to persist.
Since we know this condition
Individuals should walk
circumspectly
For one least mistake, we're
maligned
Which hurts all directly.
Friends of ours know these
conditions are unjust
But what can be done about it?
Continually protesting is one way
Allowing all to do their bit.
Sometimes severity brings US
closer ..-'> ..''~'"'.-.
Working to our own advantage,
For strictness has its reward
Infallible is this adage.

WIND, COME WEATHER." a

"COME WIND, COME WEATHER"
American readers are familiar
with Daphne du Maurier's best
seller "Rebecca." Her latest book,
Come Wind, Come Weather" is
one which has a message for all
humanity.
The American edition is the only
book DoubledayDoran has ever
published with the first edition in
a paper bound cover for twenty
five cents, in order that it may
reach the great majority for whom
it is intended. 1t is a collection Of
short stories relating the expert
ences of people who have been
bombed out of shops and homes"
Miss Du Maurier says of her book
"These stories are not my own
creation. They are the true stories
of living men and women that
have pieced together and put on
paper"
1.-The Admiralty Regrets" re-
lates simply and beautifully the
unbounded faith of a mother and
it's consequent result.
"Spitfire Megan" reveals the
heart of a different type of woman
hood and "In a London Air-Raid
Shelter" we see humanity stripped
of civilizations veneer, but one
among them solves the problem
for all through invincible courage.
An outstanding story of the
collection is "a Nations Strength"
in which Saimi. decedant of a
great Finish patriot, discovers that
"a nation is only jealous and
divided because the people are
jealous and divided in their homes
and work" Saimi and her hus-
band set out to create trust and
understanding among their coun'
trymen and letter from her in
cluded at the close of the story
says, "Great problems lie ahead of
US, but there is no bitterness, no
blaming of anybody. Instead, each
goes quitely to work in the recon
struction of the country"
"a Miners Tale" reveals the
same principle making It's way
slowly and quietly into the hearts
of British workmen, and as
George, the toughest among them,
found-it could change, even him.
A New England editor COM
ments: I'm the pages of this brief

finding an answer not only to the
terrific strains of war, but to some
of the deeper problems which are
