What Goes Into Sandwich
Makes II Taste Better

What goes into the sandwich In
your picnic basket Is important, but
not nearly as much so as the daily
sandwich for the lunch box of the
school child, or the office or fac
tory worker.
But where there is ingenuity there
can also be variety aplenty and ac-
tual food satisfaction.
Here are suggestions for tasty
sandwich filings that have the ad-
ditional virtues of being appetizing.

st. Thomas Notes
By Katherine Mitchell

The sermon preached by FIR. Ho-
garth last Sunday was exceedingly
interesting. The subject was
Finding a Philosophy of Life to
Live By" shall try to give you
few interesting highlights. An
interesting comparison was made
in which the stretch of hazardous
miles in Detroit, Michigan, known
as the Proving Ground" of a we'll
known automobile factory, was
likened to this Proving Ground of
Life" for human beings. Auto
mobiles are put through rigorous
tests so that the slightest defect
can be detected and remedied. HUI
man beings, too, are constantly
being tested but fail to profit by
their mistakes or remedy their de-
fects. So far, only time and years
of experience have been able to i'm
prove the sluggish minds of man.
kind. The reasons for mans fail
ure to remedy his weaknesses can
most always be traced to idleness
or jealousy. How often people
have lived and left this life COM
planning, 81 never had a chance"
If one were truly honest, the words
would be changed to 81 never real
ly tried" One cannot achieve sue
cess or happiness by going through
life with "Defeatist" attitude.

Too Busy for Controversy!
Minneapolis, Mlnn.,
July 7, 1941.

July 7, 1941.
Editor: The Sumner Field Ten
ants Association requests that the
article of July 8, referring to the
peculiar psychology of the Negro
residents of the Homes, be re-
tracted. The item as reported
could only be considered deliber-
ate attack against the democratic
principles of the organization. The
Association is not obligated to any
person or firm and all decisions
are made by majority vote.
1t is not the intention of the or
ganization to engage in a newspa-
per controversy with an anonym-
Gus writer. The active members
are entirely too busy on their con-
structive programs.
To Johnny Baker Post, Phyllis
Wheatley, Elks' Lodge, Boy Scouts,
Manager of Sumner Field Homes,
Park Board, Recreation Depart
ment of WPA and the many COM
munity merchants and individuals
who co-operated in making the
July Fourth Celebration a great
success, we wish to extend our
thanks, and give our assurance
that the Association is more than
glad to have contributed our sin
cere efforts throughout the day.
Thanking you,

papers. When the Negro consumer
buys these goods he is simply be-
ing a philanthropist.
Philanthropy is a fine thing but
only the rich can afford it, and all
the rich Negroes in America could
be accommodated on a small ex-
cursion steamer. Most Negroes are
wage earners in the lower wage
brackets, or they are on relief.
They simply cannot afford to fill
the hand that refuses to feed them.
White people need only think
about what they are going to get
for their dollar when they spend it.
Negroes need to think in addition
about where that dollar is going
and how much of it is going to
come back to their pockets, if any.
Most of these big concerns do
not even know that Negroes think
about these things. Even if they
did they would probably not
change their employment policies
regarding Negroes unless they lost
money thereby.
Where Negroes have made them
know it," these tough" firms have
promptly made some changes in
their employment and advertising
policies. There is no doubt about
their wanting our patronage. In
deed, they go after it. The tough
er" we get, the softer they will get.
They need us as much as we need
them.
The more powerful the Negro
press, the more militantly aware
the Negro consumers become and
the more money unfair firms stand
to lose. Neither Bauer and Black
or any other company can tolerate
thirteen million dissatisfied con
sumers.
Only through the militant Ne,
gro newspapers can Negro con
sumers be made aware of this ranl
discrimination and mobilize t.
fight it. These white firms know
this very we'll. That is why 81
many of them are reluctant t.
strengthen the Negro press will

ufacture. They can simply turn
thumbs down on all Bauer and
Black products, and they ought to
do SO.
The moral effect of such ma
tion-wide boycott would be very
great and the economic effect
would be considerable. We have
got to let it be known that we do
not like being told to starve when
we are being taxed to maintain
firms that boycott against us.
Bauer and Black is not the only
firm that boycotts Negroes. The
majority of the firms making and
distributing nationally advertised
products do not hire any Negroes,
or if they do, such Negroes are en-
pIoyed in mental capacities with no
chance of promotion.
Most of the firms that boycott
Negro workers also boycott the
Negro newspapers. Although Ne
groes consume millions of ciga-
rettes weekly, not a single ciga-
rette company advertises in Ne
gro newspaper, and only one firm
hires an appreciable number of Ne
gro workers.
Large brewers and distillers hire
very few Negroes and very seldom
advertise in the Negro newspapers.
The same thing is true of the big
food professors and distributors,
millers, building supply dealers,
clOthiers, etc.
Much of this is due to the fail
ure of Negroes to vote fright
with their dollar bill. The consum-
er has to be a producer in order
to continue being a customer. II
and when he has dollar to spend
he should spend it in such a way
as will enable him to get more dol
lars to spend.
Stores in every Negro com
munity have their shelves loaded
with goods manufactured by firms
that will not hire Negroes or give
them a chance for promotion, anC

Real Leadership
By Morris Gibbs, Sr.

By Morris Gibbs, Sr.
Real leaders are God inspired.
They never have to worry how
their aims will be acquired.
For they are the instrument thru
which God works,
And know that false opposition al
ways shirks. - T
All good leaders had opposition to
meet,
Because Of the false prophets In
the street.
Jesus, the best man on earth, was
turned down cold
By doul>ing Thomas who can't
ever be told.
All real leaders have been tempo
arily discouraged,
But they did not stay so long,
For they know the victory belongs
to those
Whose faith in right is strong.
Unless we are God inspired tits
folly to try and lead, g.
For the skeptical masses will not
heed
A leader whose confidence won't
allow them to follow
Those whose aims and reputation
are not solid but hollow.
So when we feel the urge of lead
ership,
God will show US in His unmistak-
able way
So you won't have to be led astray
By selling out your brother the
filthy lucre way.
