What Would
You Rather Be?
By RUTH TAYLOR

WHAT would you rather be than
W an American? Where would
you rather live, II not in Amer
lea?
That Is the only question we
need to ask ourselves today. That
is the only issue at stake. There
is nothing TO be gained and ev-
erything to be lost trying to push
through detailed demands now or
by caviling and carping on points
OF disagreement.
There is just one issue for each
one OF us, whether we are Negro
or white. whether we are Pro-
testant. Catholic or Jew, whether
we are employer or worker.-and
that Issue is-Would we rather be
Americans? Do we want TO be
Americans? Are we willing to
take the responsibility that Is
ours as Americans? DO we thank
our lucky stars we live here
rather than elsewhere?
II the answer Is yes. then the
road before US is plain. We
must stick to the narrow way
and concentrate on one thing
alone, the preservation OF Amer
tea. We must put aside every
thing that interferes with our
application to this momentous
task. There will be time for other
things later.
This does not mean that we
must overlook or cease to con-
denim inequalities. discrimination
bad feeling. or prejudice. Our
America is not perfect, but It's
record since the signing OF the
Constitution one hundred and fiji
" years ago. its record since the
Emancipation Proclamation seven
ty-nine years ago. show greater
progress than anywhere else on
the globe In the same length Of
time.
The question before us is-Do
we want to 90 on. "a Americans,
lovellng upward. gaining ground
By the peaceful methods OF edu-
cation and free discussion achiev-
ing greater rights for each sue
ceeding generation through our
own merits?
Or do we want 10 change the
orderly process OF democracy for
new masters. who hide the chains
Of slavery under garlands OF
flowery words. who offer 10 a
free people the bondage under
which their own people groan.
What would you rather bet You
must make your own choice.

FATHER DIVINE WORKS MIRACLE

Natures Children
Cashew Nut
(Anacardium occidentale)

The leaves are glossy yellow
green; the inconspicuous flowers are
borne In clusters; the nuts grow
out from the bloom end of q fruit
about the eize of ounce and the
shape Of a pear. This fruit is the
stem end of the nut. When almost
mature, 1t swells rapidly, filling with
a quantity of sweet, astringent juice.
The fruit is good to eat fresh, and
is also made into brandylike drink
called "daroo."
March, April and May are the
harvesting months for cashews. The
easy-going natives walt until the
nuts drop to the ground before
gathering them for agents Of she'll
ing and grading plants. After two
days drying in the sun, the nuts
will keep almost indefinitely; there
fore, large quantities are stored
throughout the year.
The cashew kernel is encased in
an unusual double shell with very
tough outer skin of a bluish-gray
color. The inner shell is brittle and
especially hard. Between the inner
and outer shells is honeycomb Of
cells filed with q resinous liquid
that is q natural barricade against
invading insect or fungi.
After the shell has been removed,
the kernel is still covered with a
protecting reddish-brown skin which
must be removed by blanching. The
comma shaped kernel has a chem
ical composition similar to that OF
the almond. The sweet yellow oil
which comprises about so per cent
OF the nut is almost identical with
olive oil in chemical constituents.
The natives use it as we use iodine.
With the exception Of few ex-
perimental trees in Southern Flor.
ida and Southeastern Texas. the
cashew is not grown in this country.
Ninety-eight per cent of our supply
of these <nuts is imported from In
dia, the remainder from other parts
Of Asia and from Haiti.
