Thunder in the Earth
By Ed1pin Lanham. Harcourt,

0y CuWGt AuGftubt. AAUf SOUf -
Brace & Co., Ne1D York.
This is the sort of thing that
usually makes a bang-up movie. The
story of Cobb Walters, young dol
]ar-a-day oil driller who wins 1000
acres of valuable oil leases in a
poker game, is a swift-moving and
vibrant one. Told against the back
ground of an oil boom in a small
Texas town In the early 1930s, 1t is
a detailed study of the oil industry
written in a convincing way.
Interspersed in the action the au-
thor gives condensed summary Of,
the history of oil, and 1t is a tribute
to him that the vast information
he presents never becomes text book
ish or stuffy and seldom holds up
the movement of the plot. The
characters are all natural people,
and Cobb makes an interesting hero.
II he frequently becomes bit reck-
less and irritating to the reader,
blame it on the times and circum-
stances-a Texas not unlike the
California of the 1849 gold rush.
Mr.. Lanham goes a bit too melo-
dramatic toward the finish, when
Cobb Is jailed for murder, but, on
the whole, Thunder in the Earth"
is both entertaining and informa-
tive. J. WILLIAM RUPPEL, Jr.

No Individual or Select Group Of Individuals
Has Right to Impose Segregation on Whole

DR.. Penick makes firm the stand
of the NAACP on segregation.
mo individual, or select group
of individuals, has the right to i'm
pose a segregated project on the
whole group, for their individual
gain, or under the guise of some
pseudo plan to benefit the COM
munity." DR.. IF. w. Penick, pres
ident of the Seattle Branch of the
National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People, made
the above statement In response to
the plea of the membership that
the organization again make public
its stand on segregation and dis
elimination. THE NAACP is unal-
terably opposed to segregation or
discrimination in any form, whe-
Their it be imposed from the out
side, or whether 1t Is fostered by
members within our racial group.
Unfortunately there are some peo-
pie in our group, as there are in
other groups, who would advocate
segregation in order to obtain
some selfish end, or who, in their
Jealous efforts to promote some
project are willing to wink at Sc
gregation in order to reach their
objective. All such tactics are
soundly condemned by the NAACP
and should like to say that any
person who says that the Negro as
a group is asking for a segregated
project, or for special privileges
because he is a Negro, Is not
speaking for the group.
What the Negro wants, and
what the NAACP is devoting its
life to see that he gets, is equal
opportunity. If the Negro is CIV
en- the same rights and privileges
that are accorded to every other
American citizen, he is capable of
taking care of himself. We ask for
an equal chance along with all
other citizens.
We have 638 members in our
organization who represent the
most progressive and the most in
telligent people in Seattle. They
are articulate, and demand to be
heard. We have organizations who
have contributed to the Seattle
Branch and have pledged their
loyalty and support because they
believe in the principles on which
the NAACP is founded. If the in
dividuals in these group member
ships were added to the 600 separ-
ate memberships, we could safely
say we represent more than 1000

contribution to our Government.
His most recent accomplishment is
military secret but Seattle
friends will hear about it after
we have won this war.
jeans success story is simple.
He knew what he wanted to do
and trained himelf for it though
there were but few openings for
Negroes at the time. His big mo-
ment came, however, and he was
prepared to step into the job. He
has now an important job in the
Dept. of Compass and Navigation.
What Jean has done, other boys
with like talents and ambition may
do. Another fact worthy Of COM

Seattle citizens. There is no ques-
ton but what they represent a
cross section of Seattle, not alone
of the Negro community.
DIR. Penick continued his state
ment by saying ITO the young
people who have joined our organ
ization because you look to us for
leadership; to the men in uniform
and those young men who expect
soon to be called, who have joined
our organization because you ex-
pect us to secure at home that for
which you are giving your lives
abroad; to the men, women and
children who must help win the
war at home and who will be vital
ly affected by what is taking place
now and after we win the war; to
our many white friends who have
pledged your loyalty and support
because you wish to help us to OBJ
tain true democracy for all Ame-
ricans; to groups and organiZa-
tons and each individual member
of them to you an deach one of
you I have stated before, and I
restate again my pledge to give
you honest and sincere leadership.
You may rest assured that neither
1, nor any member of my execu-
tive board, has any compromise to
make with those who would sell
our race for a mess of porridge.
We recognize fully the obligation
we assumed when we accepted the
contributions and pledges of loyal
ty of more than two thousand peo-
pie. 1t is a grave responsibility,
and we shall discharge our obliga-
ton to you to the limits of our
ability"

Big Picnic Looms
At Kennydale, Wn.

The First Baptist Church of
Kennydale, Washington, is busy
making preparations for its third
annual picnic Saturday, July 4.
The picnic as usual will he held in
the park, adjacent to the church,
and expects to climax their big
success of a year ago.
The Little Church by the Side
Of the Road is nationally known
for its quick rise from obscurity.
1t is unique. It sits on the high
way and awaits the coming of
friends and all mankind with open
arms. And what welcome. Its
picnic proved the most elaborate
of its kind in the history of King
County, despite that it will house
less than 100 persons.
Annually the Little Church reen-
acts the parable of the fishes. They
feed one thousand with the same
ease and facility as they do 100.
The Rev. Judson Swancy and his
little band of followers have sue
cessfully weathered storms which
would have swamped the less adj
venturous. The faith of their ia
TIERS God has brought to their aid
the mite of the blind, the lame
and the halt, as well as the more
generous financial contributions of
those more fortunate.
The fatted calf, shoats and fowl
are already being made ready for
the feast of the Wilderness, which
promises to eclipse by far the big
feast a year ago. Rev. Swancy
said today his big concern was for
the Riddles who found so much
pleasure at the feast. Special ar
rangements are again being made;
the big picnic of the Little Church
is already assured.
Saturday, July is a holiday.
The feast of the Wilderness and
the third Annual picnic of the
First Baptist Church of Kennydale
is the biggest coming event.
Picnic Hostesses
The ladies volunteering to serve
as hostesses for the Little Church
by the Side of the Road at the
third annual picnic are:
Mrs. S. E. Vanetta, Mrs. Mertist
Perkins, Miss Cora Jones, Mrs. J.
L. Morris, Mrs. Henrietta Buford,
Mrs. Fitzgerald and Mrs. Jennie
Vrooman.
Music
Mrs. A. w. Keaaler assisted by
Mrs. Emma Hancock Chainey will
provide the music. Speakers and
preachers will be on hand to keep
the light of God burning.
