ones on farming. She and her
husband live in Georgetown, but
own quite a large farm in Vir-
ginia, which Mrs. Fletcher her
self manages. This supervision
has to be done mostly by remote
control" now since the new gas
rationing doesn't permit her 60
ing down herself very often
any more. But these farm courses
have been the most enormous
help, she finds, and they will be
increasingly so when her helpers
are called away and she has to
rely on younger, less experienced,
farm hands.
The Brockett Muirs live on
their own farm near Olney,
SO Mrs. Muir thought this in
struction fine idea for her.
She's putting everything she
learned into practical use,
and making a great success of
it.
Many farmers already are be-
ginning to make use of available
woman power, since so many of
the men already have been called
to duty. The University of Mary
land gives special courses to
young women who want to work
on farms as we'll as to women
who need to know how to man
age their own; and all around
1t seems to be very practical
solution to any possible food
shortage problems we may have
to face.

DEMOCRACY CAN WORK

The plant-wde election held last week at River
Rouge for officers of Ford Local 600, the largest
local in the auto industry, presents an example of
democracy in action which should encourage every
citizen who loves the democratic way. In the contest
for nine executive positions the victor the first
ballot was a Negro worker Shelton Tapes. He
received more votes than any other single candidate
in the entire election More important STILL less than
half of his votes were cast by Negro workers.
While such a vote is of necessity real tribute
to the man, it is indicative too of the willingness of
white and Negro workers to forget their superficial
differences in the interest of the common good
Some critics of the auto union observed shortly after
Ford signed the contract with the JAW CIO that
the honeymoon" between the Negro worker and
the CLIO was over in the auto industry. They con-
tended that the union leaders had roped the Negro
in, and that from then on the Negro would have
to face eventual elimination from the industry These
reactionary, purbnd, prejudced bigots refused to
believe that Negroes and whites work together
in their common interest and that despite the ira
dtions of racism, they win and hold confidence
in each other These bigots are a menace to
democracy.
1t is fitting that such fine example of democ-
racy in action should come from the working class
The white and the black worker have been regarded
as natural competitors The bosses of industry like
the slave-owners of old, have been able to play
black off against white in order to keep the wages
down and to deny job security. They used the old
principle of divide and rule" to full advantage.
Prejudices cultivated and racial incidents were
manufactured to keep hatred alive in the hearts
of the unsuspecting workers. The newspapers which
belong to the bosses used to excite the popu-
lace over alleged rapes, riots etc. Hitler could
have learned all his racial tricks from them.
We are fighting these fascist techniques all over
the world today, and men like Tapes are fighting
them at home We are race of workers, and our
stake in America is the stake of the working class
You can dress this fact up in lot of fancy verbiage
but the truth remains. For the thousands of Ford
workers Of both races to work together in their
union for their common interests, and turn deaf
ear to the divisive fascist forces at work among
them is to advance the cause of all America. We
congratulate Shelton Tapes. We congratulate all
River Rouge workers, black and white alike, who
are not afraid of the demands of true democracy.

represented some OF bronze Ameri-

The ESQ groups are very busy
now planning their summer pro-
gram which will include all types
OF outdoor activities for helping the
men in uniform enjoy the hot
weather as well as TO see MICHIGAN
at its best. One OF the first activi-
ties planned was 10 see that each
soldier who was homesick for a

asked to have dinner with the fam
lily. The girls were very busy
securing the names OF fan los for

democracy shall not perish from
