RESOLUTIONS TO OFFSET FLAWS
IN PRESIDENTS DEFENSE ORDER

HOUSTON, Tex.--Weaknesse In
the Presidents executive order
banning discrimination In defense
industries were objected to In reso-
lutions passed by delegates from
36 states at the closing meeting
Of the 32nd NAACP conference here
Saturday. June rs. Los Angeles,
California. was named as 1912 con-
vention city.
The resolution dealing with the
executive order stated that the gov
eminent has taken a step in the
right direction. II was suggested
that In order TO prevent certain
states from avoiding obedience to
the order firm federal rules should
be adopted TO set qualifications for
employment.
II was also pointed out that there
was nothing in the order which
would make 1t apply to plants now
operating under government con-
tract. The third and strongest OBJ
lection was to the complete failure
OF the decree to touch the matter
of discrimination In the armed
forces.
The resolution recommended that
the committee OF 1--WE to be attached
to the Office of Production Manage
ment TO hear and act upon COM
plants of discrimination include
Negro members.

Fort Benning. Ca, urged passage
OF federal legislation outlawing the
poll tax and regulating primaries,
called for more slum clearance
funds.
Efforts OF Negro trade unionists
TO gain full indignation of race

highly praised. Workers were urged
10 join unions wherever possible.
Eve applaud the slow but steady
growth OF consciousness OF Ameri-

that white labor will never be free
until all labor is free" the resolu-
ton stated.

the Supreme Court was called sun
fortunate at this crucial period In
the life OF our nation" The hope
was expressed that ne would rise TO
the heights OF judicial statesman

Hugo L. Black.

ington committee was endorsed by
the conference.
A demand that Congress include
domestic and agricultural work

Political Comments


The Township officials seem 10
be on hot spot. Over two months
ago, motion was made in a board
meeting that a colored clerk would
be hired. but the job has not ma
terialized up to this writing. At
every meeting. the board seems TO
have an out. At first, the prospec-
tive appointee had 10 be over TWEEN
ty-one and. able to type, although
none OF the present clerks are able
10 type more than ten words
minute. II is reported. Nevertheless,
applications for three persons
two girls and one young man we're
carried in. One girl was rejected on
account OF her age. Now. what is
wrong about selecting one OF the
other two applicants? II is the old
buck-paseing. as usual.
AT the last Board meeting. n
was brought out that the Board
should hire no one. although the
Board has TO O. X. the payroll. IL
that be true. then we wonder why
the chairman OF the Board would
let such a motion prevail. Only
three men on the 7-man board can
hire. They are: Supervisor Bob
Brown, Clerk Jack Labadie. and
treasurer. l.. A. Pfeiffer. These
three men come up for reelection
next February. and IL this job OF
clerk is not filled in another two
weeks. voters OF Ecorse should find
out why. Then you will know what
your duty rs next spring.
Being good officials and not
wanting to see our race advance, is
not enough. What do we educate
our girls and boys for. IL II is not
for them 10 take their place in de-
mocracy. along with the other
race. The writer hopes that every
club head on the West Side OF the
track will forget political party
and feud differences and 20 to the
next township Board meeting as
one group and demand an explana-
ton on why the colored clerk can't
be hired. Also urge the Board TO

mended, as both are capable and
qualified.

That he might climb

Above the valley deep.
While wandering afar thro' the

He found a towering mountain,
A valley beneath 1t too.
There In the lovely valley
The sheep had gone astray.
He gathered them together.
And began to lead the way.
Up the rugged path &c trod,
Weary and worn and tired
Travelling on to reach the top
With Jesus as his guide.
Some day when travelling days

No more troubles will there be,
He'll reach another mountain

FOURTH OF JULY PRESENT

Prompt and decisive action in an
emergency has always been the
policy of the U. S. Navy and it's
leaders, while our bluejackets and
marines have shared honors in
countless enterprises, both afioat
and ashore.
There was need for prompt ac-
tion on the morning of July 3, 1898.
The Spanish fleet was bottled up in
the harbor of Santiago, Cuba. Upon
receiving a command from his chief
to take his squadron out of the
harbor Immediately, Admiral Ger
vera endeavored to run through the
blockade of American warships, re-
gardless of the consequences.
When the purpose of the Span
iards became evident, Commodore
Schley brought his squadron into
action by hosting the flag signal,
"Close in and engage"
The deadly fire of American blue
jackets and marines resulted in the
destruction of all six of the Span
ish vessels as they passed through
the mouth of the harbor in an eff
fort to reach the open sea. Out
of a personnel of 2,2O0 the enemy
lost 323 killed and Isl wounded
most of the remainder being taken
as prisoners.
American losses were negligible

beets are usually cooked with the
greens, while larger ones are cook
ed separately and then sliced on
top of the greens. Beet tops are
much richer in vitamins and min
erals than are the beets themselves.
Swiss Chard is also plentiful now
in many gardens. Its tender leaves
and mild flavor make it favorite
with most families. Don't allow
the slang name Cow beets" to mis-
lead you because it is really an
aristocrat among table greens. 1T
has been developed from beets es-
pecially for greens. If the leaves
are picked, not uprooted, row of
Swiss Chard in your garden will
provide for your needs until freez-
ing.
Collards are a green commonly
used south of Delaware. They are
a member Of the cabbage family,
with a milder, more delicate flavor
than cabbage.
Lambs quarter, wild green, is
very common now. 1T grows most
~ in cultivated ground, and usually
appears whenever gardens are cul-
tivated. It is best for eating when
only six to ten inches high.
Vegetables will lose some of
their vitamins and minerals when
they are cooked. These losses may
be kept at a minimum by cooking

Serve leafy green vegetables fre-

good flavor and economy would be
reason enough for their abundant
use. Added to that, green leaves
rank next to milk and eggs in the
list of the health giving protective
foods which supply vitamins and
minerals literally and help to bal
ance the diet.
Most Delaware gardens now have
a supply of young beets. Beet
greens are very commonly used in
more northern states where beets
are frequently planted for their

greens are at their best flavor when
they are four to six inches high and
