"FASHIONETTES"

Bad news for the women who
stored up large supply of silk
hosiery-because of the scarcity
of dye we are told the stocking
industry has been ordered to use
only about six different shades
so unless she is very lucky her
shade is going to be different"
The textile industry has fore
seen this order, and has done
its utmost to put over the winter
white and pastel shades, in cloth
ing for women and girls, very
attractive, too!

Wen, did you make any new
resolutions. OF did you just ere
tread" the old ones-so to speak?
Many of us have resolutions made
year ago, in far better shape
than our auto tires, from point
Of usage.
Looks as if our government
had taken the initiative, and is
making it easy for us to resolve
to stay at home more this year.
Tho our tires are a little thin,
we are better off than some of
our neighbors - we do have a
horse-you may see US riding
tandem before long-or perhaps
we mean on a pillion.
We do hope that none of the
pilots Of the airplanes patrolling
Maryland, who sail over our
heads every day.. have to bail out
and come floating down on a
parachute.
If necessary to do 50 they bet
ter come down singing "Star
Spangled Banner" "Dixie," or
Maryland, My Maryland" to
identify themselves or they are
apt to get plugged-for we read
that some of our girls are going
in for defense with a bang-they
are learning to shoot!
Certainly thrilled US to hear a
commentator (and a man at that
say that Germany did not under
estimate the strength of the Rus
sian army-what they did not
consider was the strength of the
Russian women-the women who
followed close behind their men,
saw that they had warm cloth
ing, warm nourishing food, and
comforts that only women can
give-and "when not otherwise
occupied the women pick up a
rife and pick off a German" said
he.
Last week we saw among the
Christmas gifts of a friend an
exquisite bit of handiwork sent
her by an English acquaintance
knowing that the home of the
maker was in Hazelmere where
the planes that bomb London
come and go, we wondered at the
precise little stitches.
Our Independent Woman
tells us that the Business and
Professional Women's Clubs OF
England are planning a full pro-
gram for the year.
Are they not marvellous? We
know that they are replacing men
in every capacity possible, but
they are remembering that recre-
alton is necessary, too.
Here in Montgomery we are
certainly cooperating in our de-
tense plans-men and women,
white and colored, seem willing
to do everything they can to fur
Their the plans Of those in charge.
Even in our remote part of the
county, every light went out IN
obedience to the "blackout" sig
nal last week, and we are told
there are so many persons anx-
ious to take first aid training
that there are not instructors
enough for the classes.
And now in this first issue of
the New Year let US say again:
"The best of good luck
The best of good cheer
The best of everything
All thru the year."
And let us continue to be on
our toes for defense, and sew,
knit, cook and save, and most

AMERICAN LEGION
COMMANDER ASKS
COMMUNITY HELP
To The Community

"Born of war, the American Le-
gion was dedicated to peace. Now
that war has been forced upon us,
we have rededicated our efforts to
the defense of the Nation and re-
affirm the fifth article of the Pre-
amble of the Constitution of the
American Legion-"To Inculate A
Sense Of Individual Obligation To
The Community, State And Ma
ton"
The Legionnaires have pledged
themselves to cooperate with all
defense measures established for
your protection, because they are
members of your community and
they realize more fully the neces-
sity for civilian preparedness.
Every loyal citizen should feel that
it is his or her duty to join and
participate in the civilian defense
bodies being organized in each
community. Legionnaires may head
some of the many protective SER
vices, all of which are necessary
but they too have volunteered their
services and their efforts are fol
one purpose only, civilian protec.
ton.
The community protective or
CARNATIONS, when fully manned
and functioning, combined with the
Armed Forces of the respective
states and the nation will form one
gigantic defense organization. We
must not lose sight Of the fact
that to make this organization
completely efficient our loyal citi
zens in the field Of production
must make it their duty to see that
supplies, both military and civilian,
are produced and delivered without
interference from any source.
We are about to enter the New
Year. In the past we celebrated
January first as the beginning Of
a year that would reflect our indi-
vidual happiness and prosperity
throughout its span.
Each Of US should be thankful
that we as civilians are privileged
to take a part in our defense plans.
There is a place in the plans for
every man, woman and child of the
community.

TIMELY HINTS

In line with the defense pro-
gram we are going to be very
thrifty, 80 we will be doing more
dry cleaning at home-here is a
good hint:
"Outline the spots on garments
to be cleaned, with thread of con-
trasting color and see how much
easier it is to find those spots
that need extra attention, when
the garment is wet"

THE STRIKE

Racial discrimination has been denied as the
cause of the strike of $50 white workers which
shut down the Dodge truck division of the Chrysler
corporation last week. The action, according to
spokesman of the workers, involved question Of
seniority. Whatever may have been the reason for
this strike at time when war materials are so
Nitally needed it can be logically supposed that the
color of the new, workers accentuated the difficulty
of the problem at the plant There need be no strike
to convince us that some workers are prejudiced.
The fact that the International UAWClO acted
quickly is tribute to the union officers apprecia-
ton of the danger of such discrimination We be-
lieve, however, that the UAW-CIO must pursue
more vigorous campaign of education on matters of
race in this critical hour and act before any con-
troversy can result in strike The rank and file
of workers shared Americas tradition of race preju
dice before the coming of unions and we are aware
that the union cannot be blamed for this tradition
Nevertheless it is the responsibility of the JAW
CLIO to shatter this anti-democratc prejudice in as
determined manner as is humanity possible.
1t is not enough to appoint few committees
to handle the problem of racial discrimination and
to issue occasional leaflets equality. We believe
that the UAW-CI0 has made great contribution
to America in the efforts already put forth, but on
the other hand there can be Understanding the
magnitude of the task and the urgency for its ac-
complShment. New workers are being brought into
industry and they are bringing with them the social
attitudes which are not compatible with either good
unionism or good Americanisn.
The UAW-CIO has an opportunity now to strike
blow in its own behalf and in behalf of this DEM
ocracy for which we are fighting Industrial union
ism cannot grow nor exist for long if it ignores the
full rights of the black worker any more than can
democracy survive in America if the Negro people
are isolated and denied participation in its response
bilities and its benefits

broad front of inter-racial action certainly en-
dorse this program of broader function for the
Negro Press Repeatedly in these columns we have
given emphasis to the necessity for fighting all
tyranny wherever and whenever it raises its ugly
head. Certainly we cannot stand by give consent
to oppression of any minority group in America
however remote its interest may seem to be from
our own. 1t is tyranny itself that we fight and
tyranny feeds upon conquest.
This is a responsibility which works both ways
The continued oppression and discrimination against
the Negro makes America vulnerable to all other
forms of tyranny. Thus this message to the Negro
press has significance to the press in general Re-
duced to its most elementary terms, this new view
recognizes never before the "ndivsibilty" of the
problems which beset the American people. 1t is
recognition that you cannot quarantine the Negro
alone in the socio-economic sphere, any more than
you can decree that disease must discriminate
because of color. 1t is refreshing restatement
that racial tyranny is common enemy and that
it is to the best interests of all America black and
white alike, that it be eliminated from our national
life. Indeed, we are fighting war to eliminate this
tyranny from the world.
The Michigan chronicle. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1936-current, 1942-06-13
THE NEW VIEW

At the historic meeting last week Of the Ma
tional Negro Newspaper Publishers association in
Chicago which brought together more Negro news
papermen than have ever assembled under one roof,
there was apparent the beginning of phoso-
ply regarding the function of the Negro Press.
Overtones of this new view were revealed in the
reports of officers and in the general discussions of
the problems which are inherent in the profession
of journalism.
This new view was made crystal clear in the
masterful address of guest at the convention,
Marshall Field, eminent publisher of the Chicago
Sun and the crusading New York daily PM. We
believe that our readers might be interested in Mar
shall Fields explanation of his thesis which was
that "the Negro could best win his own fight for
equality by vigorously pressing the fight against
inequality everywhere and in all its forms"
In illustration of this new view quote the
following paragraphs from his address:
"When the government of the United States
announces program of improved housing for Ne
gro workers, there is no question about where you
should stand on that. You would see the necessity
for fighting for such program and you'd go right
out and fight for it.
"But are you fighting just as hard for equally
important projects, such as the Farm Security Ad-
ministration and the Tennessee Valley Authority
ETC.? The battle for democracy is and indivsible
and these things are just as important to you as
the local engagement in which your problems are
foremost If you win on the larger front, your own
immediate victory in the housing fight is that
much easier.
"When you call attention to discrimination
against Negroes you are doing good thing - but
you are doing thing which is expected of you
But when you lead the people who believe in yor
into battle against ant-Semitism, against the abuse
of all white, as well as black, sharecroppers in the
South, when you rise to the defense of the trade
unions, then you speak with the voice of righteous
ness and you carry conviction"

pated in the famed Sojourner Truth Housing con
