The lack of food in both zones
with either reduction in weight OF
fatty increases, has brought pros
perity to patent medicine COM
panies. In both zones they carry
advertisements headed ARE you
getting fat from not having enough
to eat?" and ARE you skinny from
restrictions?" The makers of the
medicines promise that excess fat
and bloating can be avoided or that
sKinniness can be replaced by
plumpness
The truth is, doctors say, that only
diet, including particularly fats, can
remedy either.
The same diet that produces un-
natural physical conditions also has
resulted in two accompanying
factors.

First, lack of fats, with little heat

the Frenchman extremely sensitive
to cold One doctor put it this way:
"A well-fed person can stand an
unheated house or office, but an
underfed person merely adds to his
own discomfort when his body
temperature is not high enough tC

This. with the clothing rationine
system which prohibits buying any

winter will be one of the hardest in
20 years.

NEED MORE HOME OWNERS

NEED MORE HOME OWNERS
To the Editor of the Guardian:
Your editorial stating that
there is a shortage of apart
ments and houses available for
Colored renters leads me to sug-
gest that one way out Of the diff
ficulty is through the purchase
of homes while buying is easier
than it ever was for people OF
moderate income.
A small down payment, less
than one-tenth of the price, and
small monthly payments-much
less than rent-is all that is re-
quired to own a home in any
section of the city. The monthly
payments take care of taxes, in
terest and principal.
If interested parties will cali

DR.. CARVER. ARTIST

The announcement that paint
ings and fine lace work by Dr.
George Washington Carver will
be on exhibit at Tuskegee dur
ing National Art Week is of spe-
cial interest to many persons
because his art work has gener-
ally been overshadowed by his
great discoveries in chemistry.
Dr. Carver heads the chemistry
research laboratories which he
founded at Tuskegee Institute.
He is internationally famous as
the diScoverer of numerous com
mercial products from peanuts,
clay and sweet potatoes. His
work lessened the South's de-
pendence on cotton by giving
new directions to farming and
manufacturing. These were prac-
tical achievements, widely her
aided, for which he is honored
here and abroad. But his ar
tistic talents have remained
little known outside a limited
circle.
Many great men could be cited
whose fame rests upon a single
phase OF their versatility, upon
some accomplishment which
struck the popular chord at a
favorable period and thereafter
ohscured other variations of
their genius. DR.. Carver, it is
reported, has done remarkable
work in colorS of his own manu-
facture. Another interesting re-
port Is that some of his paint
ings were executed with his
bare hands, no brush whatever
being used. Such reports nat
urally stir curiosity as further
revelations of the nonconformity
which marks the genius. The
exhibition at Tuskegee starts No
vember II. We must wait to see
whether nonconformity and Gre
alive power combine in his art
to add more lustre to his fame.

COMMUNISM

With amazement, you may re-
call that the Pilgrims in search
Of religious freedom established
a communistic state in Plymouth
which was abolished in the
Spring of 1923 only to the ex-
tent Of agriculture. AS far as
fur trading was then concerned,
it still applied.
Do we mean by this, that the
Pilrims had the same commun-
istic principles then as the Sow
lets have today in Russia? Let's
first examine what we mean by
communism.
According to the definition,
COMMUNISM means "the common
ownership of property, the aboli-
ton of private property, and the
state control Of labor, religion,
social relations, etc" eve seem
to be headed that way today but
under another name.) Commun-
ism is nothing new as it goes
back to the Greek philosopher
Plato who in turn might have
obtained these doctrines as a
disciple of Socrates. Well, it all
sums UP to there is nothing
new under the sun
Evidence that this is all the
same doctrine may be cleaned
from the writings of the Pilgrim
Governor, william Bradford. An
exactly spelled excerpt follows
we taking away of propertie, and
bringing in community into a
commone wealth, thinking it,
would make them happy and
flourlshing was bound to
breed much confusion and dis
content and retard much i'm

or We yong-men that were most
able and fitte for labour and
FSeryice did repine that they
should spend their time and
strength to work for other mems
wives and children without any
recompence." This description
OF the Pilgrims workings of
Communism answers to the de-
scription of Soviet's Commun-
'sm.
Communism did not work well
in the time of the PILGRIMS end
it was abolished when famine
threatened under this system.
Our machine age today has
removed this threat Of starva-
ton With this primary cause
removed, the status of Commun-I
SIN has been changed.

The only place in America to-
day that we have something near
to pure Democracy is in some of

sets, every March in the Spring

place in the town hall in small

This ideal cannot exist at the
same time in world dominated

wark of the Democracies' De-
tense happens to be the Soviet
when many other friendly coun-
tries have failed up to the pres
ent time. Even though the die
tators have been preparing for
this conquest of the world for
eight or more years; and the
Soviets have been getting ready
only for a few years, the Com
munistic government is stand
ing up very well against this on
slaught on the Democracies. Per-
haps the Communists have a
little something we might have
overlooked.
Going back to the Pilgrims.
they abolished this system in
1923 because it threatened to
starve them to death. But in
this industrial and machine age.
we now have a guarantee that
there will be surplus Of agri-
cultures products. Had there
been an adequate supply of food
stuffs in Gov. Bradford's time
in Plymouth. who knows that
this communistic state might not
have been abolished?
Before condemning commun-
ism wholly, let's re-examine the
system today in the light of to-
days mechanical progress and
circumstances. Bv so doing, we
may be able to put the good
found in Communism with the
residue found in Democracy af-
-er the lad is eliminated. with
the result of an advance in the
progress of the civilized world.
