VICTOR REINHARD

In the passing Of Victor Reinhard OF Tchula,
Holmes County has lost one of it's best citizens.
Mr.. Renhard served his family, his friends and
the people of this county well many OF his
years were spent in serving his county in official

1889 and was leading citizen for So years. For
% years he served as a member Of the Holmes

You're locked deep in our hearts, dear

OUR CONGRESSMAN

It seems that Congressman Will NJ Whit
tington of Greenwood will not have any opposi-
tiOn in his race for reelection this year. This
certainly speaks well of Mr.. Wilmington, es-
pecially when there is definite movement
among the people to "clean out Washington and
rive us some new blood, new faces, men fresh
from the people, men that can think for them
selves and truly represent the people, We all
have to give Mr.. Wilmington credit for being
an independent thinker, an energetic worker and
an able congressman. He probably has made mis-
takes, but who does not, none of US are perfect,
we are all human beings. He is certainly con-
scientious about his duties as a congressman.
And incidentally, being member OF Congress
now is no trifling matter, it takes brains, per-
sonality, tact, ingenuity, perseverance and ex-
perience to get things done in Washington. 1t
may be true that we need to make some changes
in our representation at Washington, but we
should be careful in making these changes.
The third congressional district is obligated
to Mr.. Wilmington for his untiring efforts in
flood control, which not alone is one Of the great
est problems which confronts the people but
through the maintenance of productive acres in
q productive condition contributes greatly to the
war strength of this country. Mr.. Wilmington
is the best informed man in Congress on two
subjects :. cotton and the problems of the
cotton country and flood control and the various
problems connected with it.
Mr.. Wilmington has long been acclaimed
one of the most able congressman from Missis-
fSlppl anu Win MS unllTIlR eIlOTtS TO serve
his people, his calm judgment, his courage and
his experience make him an important man in
the halls of Congress.
1t probably is best that Mr.. Wilmington not
have any opposition at this time He needs to
center his thoughts and action on the problems
facing his people, a time we need real men on
the job.
Holmes County has always supported Mr..
Wilmington and will continue to do so as long
as he truly represents the people. Congressmes
should not get "too big for their job" and forget
the people back home. After all, the people of
Holmes County have problems of their own and
sometimes look to Washington for guidance
and help.

The following sugar rationing story comes
out of Hattiesburg. A soldier boy received a
letter from his mother, and in it the following
lines appeared:
"Pve just finished your Pa two shirts, made
of sacks and they're about to get the old guy
in trouble. He strobe up the road proudly bear
ing the sign 100 lbs Granulated Pure Cane SUI
gar on his back. A sugar inspector saw him and
called to him to stop. Only his quick thinking
saved things. He turned round and when he
faced the Inspector his shirt front bore the sign
100 lbs 4-8-4 Garden Fertilizer The man was
so confused your Pa got out of sight before he
could give him ticket"

McNutt Raps Prejudiced
War Plant Employers Who
Bar Negro Labor From Jobs

"Such employers are protecting
their prejudices at the cost Of pro-
duction for victory.
"And America cannot stand that
kind of nonsense"
McNutt urged an increase in ap-
prentice training. He said that all
around workers were needed not
only for supervisors and foremen
for the tremendously expanded la
Dor supply in war production
plants, but they were needed too
as lead, set-up and quartermen and
for installation, maintenance and
repair work.
Bona fde apprenticeship re-
mains the quickest and soundest
way of producing this kind Of la
bor," he said. Apprentices for
whom special selection on the basis
of qualifications and sptitudes is
made, contribute to production al
most Immediately. As they gain
in dexterity and knowledge, they
become increasingly valuable to the
work"

headed by Robert C. Weaver, is a
branch of the War Manpower Com
mission headed by McNutt.

In a strong statement against

expansion of factory training pro-

Negroes in war industries.
McNutt made his declaration for

The Manpower Commission
chairman pointed out that Negroes
are being used in all branches of
war industry, "but," he said, 1--WE
are not using Negroes enough"
There are still too many en-
ployers who stipulate on their hir-
ing schedules that certain jobs are
barred to Negroes. There are still
too many who hire them only for
certain service jobs or assign them
to work below their best skill.

orally lower economic standard
among musicians.
The AIM has $4,000 members
throughout the country, many of
whom are colored. Segregated To-
Gals are the rule in most large
cities, except New York.
James C. Petrillo, car of the
AIM and president of the Chicago
local, minimizes undesirable effects
of segregated units. In a state
ment last week he said: "In some
jurisdictions colored musicians have
their own locals and in other
jurisdictions they are part and par
eel of the local. It seems that
someone is barking up the wrong
tree, as the setup with reference
to colored and white musicians in
the Federation always has been
open and amicable."
Typical of the opinions of band
leaders is that of Glenn Miller:
"Now when we are fighting Hitler
because he insists on racial preju-
dice, is the time for our country to
show its democratic hand. Keep
ing colored artists out of the same
union as white musicians through
out the nation is definitely form
of bias"
Abe Lyman, in demand for his
sweet" music, stated: "Sure the
locals should be combined. Look
how successful S02 New York;
has been. When a colored local
has to compete against a white To-
cal, there's likely to be scale-cut-
ting and the colored musician in
variably gets the worst of the deal.
It's a hell of a situation. Thou
sands of colored soldiers are fight
ing battles to save US at home. It's
a rotten unfair situation to segre-
gate the Negro in or out of the
music business"
