We Have Two
Weapons

We have two weapons with
which we can fight discrimination
in this country. They are our dol
lars and our ballots. So long as we
treat our spending power con-
temptuously and our political in
fluence thrown with the forces that
can furnish the most beer and sand
witches at political meetings just SO
long will we always be "kept on
the outside looking in"
Negro dollars can WELD a mighty
force for Negro freedom. Throw
our dollars to the winds if we may,
they will always be caught even by
unappreciative recipients but none
of the results will come back to the
Negro race.-Milton Bledsoe.

Halle Q. Brown
Community House

Halle @. Brown Notes: Satur-
day morning is children's morning
at Halle. There is so much fun
singing that Mr.. Whitaker is kept
busy the entire two hours the little
people are here. Three very special
helpers Saturday morning are Mrs.
Juanita Nelson, Mrs. Alberta Allen
and Mrs. Louise Holly.
The Halloween party was
great success and more than 100
children enjoyed the party as
planned by the staff at Halle. The
Leslie Lawrence Post of the Amer
lean Legion donated money for the
refreshments for which we were
very grateful.
Mrs. Gladys Lewis Harris is
busy collecting songs, costumes,
tandems and cast for the coming
Gay Nineties review for which re-

The House received thirty dol
lars in gifts from the friends of
Mrs. Curtis who lost her mother.
The gifts were in memory of Mrs.
Curtis mother. This is a sugges-
ton and very practical means by
which one can show his sympathy
and appreciation of the deceased
friendship.
The Community House encour-
ages women and girls to partici-
pate in Hallie's activities as much
as is possible this season because
there are long, lonely days ahead.
The idea is to get situated in some

and keep busy.-Hazel R. Butler.

Four thousand excited football
fans stood up as one when the
bronze left half on South Highs
team carried the ball over the goal
line.
1t was as fine tribute to as fine
a performance as Minneapolis has
ever seen.
Just in case you have not heard
of the brilliant running of this
young football star, but of course
you have because the sport writer's

their Thesaurus trying to find ad-
jectives beftting the Halley's

the human side of this square

Previously, I had called the ath-
letic department of South High

with this adjective making hero.

bell rang and on answering it there
stood the subject of my story.

smile and directing him to the most
comfortable chair in the living
room. otis a bit chilly" 1 said
feelingly, trying to ease his en-
barrassment.
He grinned at me in a friendly
way, his eyes bright.
Dressed in a brown, pin-striped
suit, brown polka dot tie, tan
brogue shoes, and brown fedora
with a red feather sticking in the
band, the young man was every bit
an athlete. The muscles in his
shoulders and arms X-rayed
through his clothes like a frog in
the belly of a snake. He was what

there's a bit of dissatisfaction in

DARK LABOR'S LAMENT

It's written that all men must earn
Their daily bread by sweat of brow,
But somehow when it comes my turn,
The boycott makes me wonder howl
It's said so many folks admire
The man who fain would labor,
And though Pm worthy of my hire,
Pm shunted for my paler neighbor.
There's ample truth in that old saw:
At the top there's plenty room,
But why is there unwritten law
That must make the climb with broom?
I find that when Pm in employ
Of him who in his subtle way
Must eer refer to me as, "Boy,"
1t always shows up in my pay.
Wars boom has raised my status quo,
Ny fears and woes are Ger the hump,
When folks ask me to work too low,
I tell them to go jumpI

It's GOING to be an oId-fashioned Christ
mas this year, Christmas that will take on deep
er meaning than ever i'm the shadow of more than
a year of War. 1t will be friendIier, more
neighbOrIy Christmas, because shared troubles
and labors have brought us all closer. Well be
doing without some of the Iuxuries we once
thought necessary, and find greater happiness
in the luxury of giving and doing for others. 1t
will be colder Christmas because we've learned
the wartime lesson of cutting down on precious
fuels but we'll be warm with OId-fashiOned
mittens and mufflers and warm with Christmas
spirit as deep as the heart! 1t will be cOIOrfuI
Christmas because we're learning how heart
lifting are bright cOlOrs i'm simple things like
apples and freight and gay ribbons! 1t will be
abrave Christmas, too. Loved ones missing from
the family circle will only make us stronger in
our determination to preserve the Christmas
spirit of brotherhood and peace for which they
are fighting -. Our thoughts will join theirs
as we pledge, on our second wartime Christmas,
renewed efforts to speed the day of Victory when
they will come home to spend all future Christ
masses with us in the land of the free!
