HAMPTON INSTITUTE Na',----
Ten commandments for school
teachers whom he charged with
having a special responsibility for
the Improvement of racial rela-
tons, were laid down by DR.. Am
brose Caliver, of the u. 5. Office
Of Education. in his address to the
graduating class of Hampton In
stitute Summer School yesterday
friday.
"Teachers have both an oppor<
tunity and an obligation to meet
the challenge of lettering human
relations" declared DR., Caliver,
discussing the goals and strate-
gies Of Negroes in the present
crisis, "The business Of education
is to provide us with the know
ledge and use of facilities that
may be employed in this particular
task"
Freedom, Not Color
The distinguished educator stated
that the issue of the present war
is freedom, rather than color, and
that the suggestion that the Ne
gro's lot would be better under
the Japanese should be seotched,
whenever it appears.
As regards to goals, he said
that Negroes must accept the aims
Of democracy; get the majority
group to understand that these
must apply to all, regardless of
race, creed, or color; and work for
the changing of individuals habits
and attitudes.
Concerning strategy, he said
that Negroes must have accurate
information about specific causes
for grievance, and justification
for faith in the integrity and siren
9Th Of their leadership. They
must be guided by the conviction
that there is good in world that
seems so full of evil, and they
must have a better understanding
and appreciation of white liberals
who seek to help them solve their
problems. / II ,sc4.

LOS A N G. f l. + S, May -
They work and play-thousands
and thousands of them-while
the rest of America sleeps or
works. They're the nations new
Swing shift'-a vast invisible
army of workers in war plants
humming on a 'round-the- clock
schedule. They take over when
the day shift quits, late in the
afternoon. Their quitting whistle
blows shortly after midnight,
when the late night shifts-the
graveyard" crews - come on.
Swingshifters are seldom seen
by the average citizen.
So if you're tired of getting
up early ir the morning, want
to have a game of golf before
lunch or yearn for time during
the week for all those errands
you now try to crowd into your
busy Saturday half-holiday,
just join a crew of these might
owl" workers.
You might think that leisure
time would be a problem to the
swing shifter. Not any more
at least in Los Angeles, around
which are crowded so many war
plants. The swing shift has ac-
tually put the city on a 24-hour
basis.
Stores and markets are jam
med in the wee hours of the
morning as swing shift wives
do their days marketing. Other
housewives complain that these
early birds get the pick of the
fresh fruits and vegetables. If
they do, that's just another I'd
vantage for the swing shift wife.
Quite a few of the older men
and women still think that the
night time is the right time for
sleeping and they're the people
