rightly to offer himself as gift toward
humane, free world in which self-interest
and others rights will be integrated for
ever widening social betterment.
We, not institutions, are the Brother
hood that must crush oppression and in
humanity. We, not governments, are the
Democracy which must safeguard to all
peoples reasoned understanding and edu-
cation for the protection of every human
right. Unselfish living, not war, is Total.
BY its might alone can we win the lasting
recompense of the saving peace that is
victory's soul.
Away with ignorance that blinds to
mortal danger, and with pessimism that
truclkles to the enemy's murderous in
tent! Away with beggarly murmuring over
shortages while famine is turning conti-
nents into tombs for children living and for
babes unborn! The engulfng need of man.
kind. sprofaned. bleeding from wounds
foully dealt, cries for the utmost of life
and law and light that can be saved. 1t is
better that war should leave mere hand
full than that many live to sink into degra-
dation. Concord and Lexington call to us
to end this fatal plague of dictatorship.
We must not falter when the presence
of martyred countries is broadcasted into
our midst - Russia whose rivers are blood
instead of living waters - the unbroken
honor of China and Poland - Norway's
childhood held as in irons - Czechoslo-
vakia, one vast Lidice before the firing
squad. God. man and our own history
plead with us in the name of all we cher
ish to keep alive the dreams of achieve
ment of our forefathers.

EXAMPLE. Thinking how great is the
need for courage in these desperate days.
our mind recently turned to the bravest
soul we know - Helen Keller. Blind and
deaf practically all her life, she has never
theless had the courage to accept pain and
loss and terrible handicaps, and to put
them in their lesser places. Not one hour
of her life has been wasted. She has de-
voted her life to developing the great
power of understanding that is in her,
and that she believes is within each of us
if we will but use it.
Hers is a wonderful example for a peo-
pie facing the most crucial hours in its
history - hours in which the two great
things which count most will be courage
and work. We therefore wrote to Helen
Keller and asked her to share with the
readers of THIS WEEK some of her strength
and faith. Her answer was the editorial
which appears on this page.
She was inspired to write it, she told us,
by reading a recently-published letter
written by Dutch boy who had been
sentenced to die at dawn. This letter lifted
her, she says, TO point-of-the-bayonet
defiance. The spirit-born courage with
which Kees X carried Freedoms banner
from this world into the next squared my
shoulders to the responsibility, since
where the Lord is, there is Liberty

We have not believed enough in our

them. We have not believed enough in
democracy. We have looked upon it as
political creed instead of way of living.
We have had to abandon the claims we
made for civilization we took on trust,
since we have seen it collapse. Now we
are confused because what we believed

How many Of us are ready on
the home front, asks Ramon S.
Scruggs, manager of the Gratiot
branch office of the Michigan Bell
Telephone company. Many of US,
says Scruggs, are still laboring un-
der the delusion that it can't happen
here, that war in all its terrifying
aspects cannot be brought TO our
own front doors. The utter folly Of
this thinking is evidenced by the
recent United States plane raid on
Japanese held Philippines which re-
quired round trip flight of 1000
miles The nearest Nazi air base
would neeessitate flight of about
the same distance Would you know
what to do when an air raid alarm
sounds? What to do when an in
cendiary bomb falls on your home?
What TO do about flying glass or
broken gas or water mains?
The Michigan Bell Telephone
company, according to Scruggs, now
has available for free showings the
very excellent sound motion pic
ture, Ready on the Home Front
which demonstrates what an ar
raid means and how we should 60
about keeping down loss OF life and
damage when a raid occurs. Every
man, woman and child should see
this film.
Showing Of Ready on the Home
Front may be arranged for any
type Of group-by calling Mr.,
Scruggs at Cherry 5000. There is no
charge for these showings.

MISSISSIPPI
PLEADS JOBS
FOR CITIZENS
Mass Group Sends Strong
Resolution To Heads
OF Government

JACKSON, Miss. A clear
case OF the plight of the Mis-
sissippi Negro was set forth
in a resolution directed to
President Roosevelt, Con-
sress. Secretary Of War Stimson
and two governmental agencies by
a mass of Negro citizens here on
April 10 following a gigantic meet
ing on April 0.
The governmental agencies sd-
dressed, were the War Production
board and the Fair Employment
Practices committee. The citizens
asked for measures to be taken for
securing Jobs for Negro men and
women in the state.
The resolution directed attention
to the fact that Mississippi Negroes,
who constitute a majority Of the
population, are refused production
work at the Mississippi Ordnance
plant and whites only are en-
ployed.
1t is stated among other pertinent
facts. that thousands OF Mississippi
Negroes were hardest hit by the
recent depression and died from
lack of proper food and necessities
Of life; that many OF the Negro
women who ask for jobs are
mothers. wives and sisters Of SOL
diers serving in the United States
army.
Significantly. the resolution
pointed to the fact that zone out
Of every six American soldiers in
the Bataan peninsula campaign was
Negro. Will their blood not be
sufficient to warrant their mothers,
sisters and brothers mere right
to earn their bread by the sweat
of their brow in the land they have
died to save?"
1t was told that local political
subdivisions sponsor sewing room
projects for white women, but re-
fuse flatly to sponsor them for Ne
gro women. Even the United States
employment office, it was said has
refused to accept from Negroes APP
plications for work in the ordnance
plant.
The resolution was signed by a
committee designated at the April
8 meeting. Secretary Of the COM
mittee is the Rev. W. H. Blackman,
pastor of the Pratts Memorial
Methodist church.

OHIO LEAGUE
OPENS FIGHT
ON JIM GROW
Columbus Restaurants To
Face Vanguard Groups
Bias Litigations

MBUS, Ohio. -
(ANP) - Striking with the
force which is characteristic
of the organization, the mill
tant Vanguard league filed ii
civil rights cases against Columbus
restaurants and eating places, there
by dealing q heavy blow to the
practice of racial discrimination.
The filing of civil rights cases in
lob lots" is typical of the Van
guard league and is strictly accord
ing to that organizations procedure.
since it never files less than five
such cases at one time.
During the theatre fight, the
league filed eight cases in It's first
lot. Although the filing Of IA cases
Of this nature at one time is quite
unusual. Columbus Negroes were
not so astonished as might be ex-
pected because they knew that the
league was working on the prob
lem. and. having confidence in the
organization and being familiar
with its techniques, they were ex-
pecting some such move.
The league began working on the
restaurant problem Immediately
following the successful conclusion
Of the now famous theatre fight of
last June. The first step was several
letters to Clarence Blosser, presi-
dent OF the Central Ohio Restaurant
association,
The last one was dated November
q, 1871. When these letters were
ignored. the opportunity of settling
the matter at a conference table
was eliminated.
In the meantime, the league be-
gan preparing for series Of filing
dates, the first of which was set
for Friday. April 8, Just four days
before the opening session of the
Ohio Restaurant Owners association
which was he'd in CO.
lumbus this year.
Another indication Of the thor
oughness of the leagues prepara-
ton is the fact that some of these
cases date back to the latter part
of 1941. The type of cases filed is
also an indication of thoroughness,
since each is to bring forth the
various techniques which the res
taurants have been using to get
around the civil rights law.
