N A NE HONOR
STUDENTS A 7.
M 0 REHOUsE:.

ATLANTA, Ga. - Especially -
Forty-four students at Morehouse
college are named on the semi
annual Honor Roll, recently re-
leased from the office Of Dean B
R. Brazeal. According to the
listing, freshmen have the largest
number Of representatives, with
Ii honor men; seniors follow with
II; sophomores 10, and juniors
8. The highest possible average
Of 400 was made by Marcus
Valequin Nelson Of Monroe, Louis
lana, member of the sophomore
class.
Honors Day speaker this morn
ing was President James P. Braw-
ley, recently elected to head
Clark college in Atlanta. The
price that must be paid for schol-
arship, he told his listeners, is in
ceSsant work. "A scholarly per-
son." he said, lis not born over
night, but it takes long years of
hard work to become a meticu-
lous scholar. We must decide
that we are going to put in long
hours Of hard work and that we
are going to persevere," the stu
dents were told, "for that is what
IS demanded Of US in a day like
this; and some day there will
come to the great satisfaction of
having done a difficult task well,
not for the sake of scholarship
alone, but for the contributions
that might be offered to the
world in which we live"
President Brawley expressed
concern for the young men whose
names did not appear on the list
and stated that a person who has
ability and wastes it commits a
cardinal sin. The average per-
son can exhibit qualities Of schol-
arship, he said, as it doesn't take
a genius to be thorough in his
work and to develop qualities
within himself. Qualities named
by President Brawley that make
for scho' arship include discip-
line, vigilance, liberal thinking,
and the ability to see the rela-
tionship between fields of infor-
nation which lead to the relation
ships between problems as they
exist in everyday life.

Honor Roll, a student must main
tain an average Of B or above with

DEFENSE LABOR
May AID RACE:

NEW YORK, May 1-Acting
on reports that Negroes are not
taking full advantage Of free
training courses offered by the
government to prepare for nat
lonal defense work, the National
Association for the Advancement
Of COlored People is urging all
men to register with thier local
National Youth Administration or
State Employment Service Offices
Tor classes in skilled occupations
The NAACP emphasized the
Importance of the groups being
prepared to take ADVANTAGE of
work opportunities should the
predicted labor shortage become
scute. 1t states that the reluct-
ance Of many men to spend time
training for jobs in defense indus
tries where fragrant discrimina-
ton is practiced, is understand
able.
But, it makes clear, the indus
trial speed-up, pressure on man
utacturers by the association and
other organizations, the increas-
ING seriousness Of the European
situation and the absorption of
more and more men into the ar
my, n1pke it possible that indns-
trlaLists may be forced to seek
Negro labor in the very near flu
ture.
Many local branches Of the as
ISOLATION are already carrying on
campaigns to get men in their
communities into defense training
ing courses.
Even though there seems scant
hope at present that color bars
VIII be let down, NAACP said.
Negroes in this country must be
ready to make good use of any
change in the course Of events.

PICKET LARGE:

Demanding a fair share of jobs
in Bauer and Black company,
surgical preparations firm, which
has a large defense contract, N.
"A. "A. @. P. members and repre-
sentatiVes Of other cooperating
organizations picketed that COM
pany's plant last Saturday morn
ing. Carrying banners and signs
calling for the abolition Of racial
discrimination in national defense
industries the picketers marched
around the plant during the en-
tire morning shift. Saturdays
demonstration was part of a ma
tiOn-Wide movement by NAACP
branches in nearly fifty United
States cities protesting the refus-
al Of many defense Industries to
employ colOred workers. The
movement was called by the board
Of directors Of the association.
In Chicago, many churches and
organizations participated. Some
among them were: the National
Negro Congress, Metropolitan
Mems Community Club, striking
workers Of the New York Hand
kerchief company, Indiana Ave-
nue. W. E. church, Postal Alliance,
Chicago Negro Labor Relations
League, Fur Workers Union, Chi
cago Urban League, James Wei
don Johnson Youth Council, N.
a. "A. c. r.; Mid South Side Youth
Council, NAACP.
A conference was held between
representatives Of the NAACP and
a member Of the firm while the
picketing was in progress. At this
time, the demands Of the Negro
community were laid before the
company and immediate action
was requested. A further confer
cnce was arranged with higher
officials. 1t is believed that the
picketing Of the plant had a great
effect on the attitude Of the COM
pany and that victory will be
achieved.
The Chicago Branch, NAACP,
will not leave the fight there,
however, and picIeting will con-
tinue until a definite statement is
made by the company. Plans are
being made for a nationwide
boycott Of Bauer and Blacks pro
ducts, used by Negro physicians
and citizens all over the country.
1t appears, the association con-
tends, that action Of this kind IS
the only way to change the I'M
democratic and un-American pol
icy Of these companies.
Ira w. Williams is president Of
the local branch; Elmer w. Hen
