.Dim-0ut Questions
With The Answers

Question-Am I allowed to
leave my porch light on at
night?
Answer-only if it has a
bulb not in excess Of 15-watts,
and is covered by an opaque
shield or cone which throws
the light directly downward
and allows it to spread only 90
degrees.
QUESTIONABLE doctors IL
Illuminated signs allowed?
AnSwer-No, these are CLASH
fed as advertising signs and
must be extinguished at night.
Question-Do I have to put
up blackout shades if my win
dows are visible from the sea?
Answer-No, but you must
have heavy shades or drapes
which will cover your windows
completely, so that no direct
gIeam or reflection is visible
from the seaward side. The
same treatment must be car
ried out even though you are
located several miles inland, if
any windows are directly vis-
ible from the sea. ....
Question-How do these reg
ulations affect light in green
houses?
Answer - Greenhouses are
classed as skylights. If they
have lights inside they may be
treated in either one or two
ways: First, the glass may be
painted or shielded so as to be
completely opaque, or, second,
the necessary interior illumin-
alton may be treated as exter-
ior lights and shielded SO that
the cone of light is thrown di-
rectly downward and does not
excess 90 degrees
Question-In my store I have
two show windows, each Of
which measures nine feet
on the front and four feet on
the recess toward the door.
How much light is allowed?
Answer-Two 15-watt incan-
descent lamps or the equivalent
for each window. These win
dows each have linear open
ingS totaling 13 feet. The reg
ulations allow zone 15-watt
lamp to each eight feet Of
horizontal linear opening or
fraction thereof" Please note,
however, that such lights as
you use must be so placed that
no direct gIeam is visible out
of-doors above a horizontal
plane through those lights.
Another restriction is that you
must have light-proof back
drop or partition separating
these show windows from the
main part of your store.

Don't We Look?
by F.. G. Turner

In this issue OF the Bulletin one
year ago | wrote an article thaS
seemed to have stirred the inter
est Of every member of the State
Association from one point or
another agree that the article
was very critical in many respects
but at that time | thought it very
appropriate.
At that time the article closed
without offering any definite solu-
ton to the problems or pointing
out any methods by which the
fallacies might be made strong.
So at this time | thought 1t might
be equally as interesting to sug-
gest methods by which we as
Negro Teachers might affect a pro
gram ito the end that our race
group might be helped.
| do not wish to minimize the
power and influence Of leadership
and personality in carrying for
ward to success great causes and
great movements. But we must
take into consideration the can
didates and campaign for the
presidency of our Association
which is to meet in Pine Bluff IN
April this year. In doing so ono
might easily conclude we are put
ting the cart before the horse. 1t
is important who shall lead our
Association but it is not by no
means the most important. Our
Association has never had a finer
opportunity to set forth it's great
detectives and unity its great po-
tential forces pound these OBJ
jectives than now. 4
We admit that the past lead
ers of our Association have car
ried it out of the State and into
the American Teachers Conven-
ton with credit. At home it has
attracted great gatherings to its
annual meetings. 1tey have
brought to us speakers of renown.
The leaders themselves at each an
nual session have brought mes
sages that left every eye baptized
with tears. The people came to
listen to these messages and to
meet friends. When these ended
the great crowd scattered in pairs
or groups to socialized and sight
see.
The great annual gathering we
have had in the past have center
ed around one great compelling
personality, c. S. Woodard, who
has passed on across the river, and
has closed his career in this Con-
vention. At Pine Bluff we must do
one of two things or lose; namely,

THE MORE we see of the
operations of organized labor
under the AFL and Clio, the
more We are convinced that the
methods are detrimental to the
masses Of Negro laborers. We
have cited to IFS daily, good
positions that Negroes have
held down and held without crit
icism, before the unions got
control, and Immediately after
the jobs were put under control
i, wasn't long before the Ne
gro's place was filled with some
member Of the other race, and
the he'll Of it was, the Negro
was used effectively to put the
jobs under Union Control. We
have often told our people to
be aware of people who are out
to give you something for nc.h-
ing. The white man has no
particular need fer you until he
sees chance to use you, and
then he will promise you most
anything under the sun in order
that he may get your coopera-
ton, and when he gets what he
wants with you, you can 20
straight to hell for all he cares.
Our advice to you is, if you are
holding jobs and have anything
like the balance Of power, you
had better use that power to
establish yourself firmly for
your own protection, and let the
white workers use their power
for what they want without you,
for your only chance at present
to held jobs will be in private
industries, and that depends en-
tirely on the part sou play in
trying to protect it from raeke-
tecring, National Defense in
dustries arc so tied up with or
gained labor, whose directors
have never seen fit TO give the

! am sure the Association was
formed because it had noble puf-
pose the conceptions Of the frons-
Ter leaders was clear as to its OBJ
iectiyes; they steered unswerving-
ly toward the ultimate goal and
I cir efforts and sacrifices brought
progressive results, BIT our hoG-
2on seems limitedly fixed and our
enthusiasm static; therefore we
wander about in circles, we do not
go forward, Evidently our objee-
tiyes need to be restated and re-
defined in the language of today
SO as to meet the mental concep-
ton and literary style of our day
and generation, thus clarifying
and revitali2ing our Associations
detectives. "Why don't we look
where we are going?"
As We approach the meeting
date Of the association, various
names will be heard for certain
positions. You no doubt have al
ready heard these statements
about certain aspirants for office,
"He was loyal to Mr.. Woodard.h
"He is an honest upright, gentle
man. He was promised this of
flee two years ago "He is edu-
Gated "He is young man" He
has run several times" "He is OF
the old guard" These are all good
but what about the association?
What will he do to lead us out
of this conglomerated mass of pro-
fitless waste of energy and time
into an organization enthusiastic,
harmonious working group for the
race? why don't we look where
We are going?
We face a generation with a
new outlook on life, in world |
with changed social order and |
new and difficult economic sys-
TEN. If orr association is to pro-
eress at ali, all Of its members !
mus, cooperate. There must be
no selfishness on the part of its
members if the greatest good is to
reach the greatest number. Old
teachers must cooperate with
young teachers in working for the
common good.
As bright sun of education
FORCES it's way through bleak
and dreary sky, new association
is born, an association that will
have no more of the old way OF
doing things but will concentrate
on the new. An association whose
members are wide awake and fully
conscious of the potentialities OF
the State in which shye live. An
association that with the aid of a
well planned and we'll defined OBJ
iective will master rs own de-
stiny.
