Toppenish Tied Marquette
The big upset in the Valley last
weekend was the tie game played be-
tween these two teams Marquett
dominated the play for the first
half and Toppenish's offensive was
shown in the last half. The Wild
cats threatened to score three times.
On one occasion the Toppenish

Last week end this column pre-
dicted the Lions Milton Freewater
game to within one touchdown, and
so, feeling lucky again we will crawl
out on the limb and take a crack at
foretelling the outcome of the Pros

and stand an even chance of dump
ing the Mustangs from Prosser. Ex-
pect a close one, however.

theology cit has indicated it wants
to-, the time to do it is now when
that man" is fighting huge Rus
sia on one front and the British
Royal Air Force on the other. Hit
ler has never wanted to wage a
two-front war, because he knows
this is what smashed the Kaiser's
forces. just as there has been
truth in his belief and observation,
there is truth in the general out
look that he will now be defeated
with adequate United States aid.
If the United States and Great
Britain are standing on the side
lines now, waiting for the Red
Giant and the Brown -Shirted

WALTER CHlVERS SAYS:

they look for work in other parts
of the South. They want to live in
their home state because it is
home and they have developed ac-
commodation to it. Then, too, the
Negro Colleges and high schools all
tend to promote type of mission
ary zeal in their students which
makes the majority of them want
to have a hand in Saving the
race.
There is growing evidence that
an increasing number of native
white GeorgianS are convinced
that the state cannot move farther
ahead with one-third of its popu-
lation tagging behind.
SUGGESTS NEGRO
Successful educational admins
tration is an intimate personal
social process. Such officials must
be part of the people whom
they serve. That is why 1 am sug-
gesting Negro to fill the vacancy
left by Mr.. L. M. Laster in the
Division of Negro Education. He
might be called Inspector of Ne
gro High Schools. The title is not
nearly so important as the func-
ton. Such an appointment would
be an inspiration to Negro youth
to stay home and strive.
The present department of Negro
Education is in the capable hands
of Mr.. R. L. Cousins, who has
shown peculiar capability for
handling the political phase of Ne
gro education. He is Georgia born
and educated. There are native Ne
gro Georgians with equal capacity
for handling the intimate task OF
supervising Negro high schools.
recommend this task to the
Georgia Association of teachers ir
Colored Schools as a project with
merit. It's success would do much
to gain the interest of teachers
who are not part of it because
they feel it is important.
A petition signed by a large
number of teachers might do the
trick or possibly hundreds of let
ters sent to the Department o1
Education might be valuable
Whatever the means, the end is

either politically or morally. The
President would not have been able
to beckon to other nations Of the
world and say, Look here, we have
the embodiment and practice of
the highest ideals of mankind, ETC.,
etc. All of our people are content
ed and getting along well"
The outlook on future elections
wouldn't have been so rosy. The
Republicans probably would have
garnered many a vote on the
mere reference to a march on the
capital by a discontented minority.
Thus Mr.. Roosevelt got to work
and through an executive order
got the march postponed indie
finitely. A typical Roosevelt vic
tory-probably the best turn at
that! BY his order to defense in
dustries that future contracts
must contain discriminatory
clauses, the President may accom-
plish more for the race than an
expensive and dangerous march in
the nations capital might have
done. After all, the result is the
thing that counts. Some industries
will go on ignoring the order to be
just and fair in the hiring of
men for defense work, but there
will be others which will go down
the line to do the right thing, as
seems to be the Presidents aim.
In order to take full advantage of
the newly opened door to defense
work, Negroes must be fully pre-
pared to do what is required OF
them. A recent dispatch to the
press expresses fear that avail
able, prepared Negro skilled work
ers will soon give out. Some of us
doing what seems to be white

courses preparing for skilled work

as important as giving loyalty. The

cularly, the latter.
The failure to provide vocational
training on a broad and varied
scale is large factor in placing
such an abnormal number of Ne
groes on the relief roles and con-
tinuing them there Even the dis
gracefully high homicide rate
among Negroes has relationship
to the neglect of Negro public edu-
cation both as to amount, quality
and kind.
NEGROES FORGOTTEN
l believe that this neglect OF Ne
groes by the ruling classes in the
South, is often due to the fact that
Southern white political leaders are
so deeply engrossed in trying to
aid the thousands of dispossessed
white people to measure up to the
requirements for productive citi-
zenship until Negroes fade from
their vision.
The South has so thoroughly
convinced itself that it is poverty
stricken until it has acquired a
poverty complex. This complex
has made it stingy, sensitive and
abnormally self-centered on the
problems of white people. Many of
its sins against Negroes, I believe,
may be charged to this state of
mind. However, Georgia in its eff
fort to break away from this COM
plex has set democratic ideals as
its goal. This being true, Georgia
must cease to mourn over its sins
of omission and commission and
use its collective intelligence to
developing philosophy of educa-
ton that will expand it's efforts to
include all citizens, regardless of
race in an equal program of edu-
cation.

of ATTRACT Justice it was mex
cuSable. However, if one looks at
it from the standpoint of racial
self interest it can be considered
as the natural" thing to do.
This experience, however, has
helped to magnify the poverty
available to approximately one
third of Georgia's citizens who
happen to be Negroes. Their igno-
rance has been in no small degree
responsible for the collapse of
tobacco and cotton farming, parti-
