Group Thot Awakening
Will Follow War

Harry N. Stull. president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
predicted last night before the
Georgetown Citizens Association
that "after this war people will see
the part that our organizations have
had in civilian defense and become
aroused to their own civic respon-
sibility and participation in civic
affairs
The history of the Federation was
outlined by Mr.. Stull, who en-
phasized that the body was the
most representative of local citizenry.
He added that while usual activities
were being curtailed now, it was
with the view of attending to the
immediate situation.
The Federation president has
recently undertaken the post of
assistant chief afraid warden of
the District, and he explained that
this would cause him to reduce his
own activity in the Federation
The Georgetown group voted a
resolution, introduced by Ernest I.
Lewis, calling for action in recondi-
tioning Western High School. A re-
port given jointly by Mr. Lewis and
DR.. B. H Meyer described the school
as "outdated and totally inadequate
for modern education" The resolu-
ton called for an investigation of
the needed improvements in the
building Immediately.
Mrs. Newton C. Wing spoke before
the group, representing the District
Salvage Committee, and explained

tory" The group voted that COM
mittee be appointed with complete
authority on the subject.

It is a big jump from the pro-

lean engineering and American
workmanship. The acceptance
speech of the President of the

the spirit and determination of

"On behalf of the membership

pride that Frigidaire has received
such an award from the armed
forces of our country.
We, the workers at Frigidaire,

to build the guns and other equip

We in Labor, realize that every
thing we have is at stake in this

country overrun by Hitler, the
wage standards and living condi-
tons are controlled by Hitler and
his Nazi forces.
In every country they have
conquered, there has trailed in
their wake, starvation, poverty,
misery, suffering and disease. The
lives of the people r completely
controlled from the moment they
arise from their beds in the morn

Money or Freedom

Editor: "Have you not read the
gospels ?" said Tolstoy to an officer
who had struck a soldier. eyes"
replied the officer, "but did not you
hear that military commando"
"This," said Tolstoy, explains the
difference between the spiritual
and the material"
Money is the material thing of
life and will not assure freedom if
it were piled up to Heaven. Those
in America who retard and even
stop production because of big
profits, or those who look for spe-
cial privileges and advantages are
not in the fight for freedom, but
for money. The sooner they are
weeded out, the better for Ameri-
cas- civilization.
Freedom is a way of life to be
enjoyed by everyone. 1t is spiritual
for it has within itself the mate
rails that make for happiness.
You now, many Americans, who
enjoy this rare fought-for freedom
will lose it if you allow the money

of the best ministers available to

this area will support good, up

Minnesota Negro religionists are
a critical group. In this rarefied
atmosphere in religion as in poll
tics and civic life people have to
prove themselves. False prophets
are spotted quickly. The A. NJ. E.
as we'll as all other Negro religious
denominations in this section have
to constantly strengthen their pro-
gram for evangeizing, lettering
man and preparing for the saving
of the souls.
Naturally we are happy that the

be both pleasant and fruitful to the

church is host this week to the sons
and daughters of the revered Rich,

The strong African Methodist
Episcopal church has many mem
bers in this area and generally that
membership has played an impor-
tant part in the religious life of
Minnesota's Negro population.
The Northwestern Conference of
this church, because of its size, is
still called a missionary conference.
Its churches have usually been we'll
supported by the community.
The organized church as repre-
scented by denominations like the
A. NJ. Els are more needed today
than ever before.
In its deliberations here in St.
Paul it is our hope that the confer
ence will leave with the Twin Cities
