What Others Say:

Soldiers and sailors of the United States risking

earth but Representative Rankin of Mississippi struggled
hard last week to prevent them from voting in the Novem-
Der elections.
lie and his poll tax compatrots from the lower South
fought all day the floor of Congress against what Rank
in called he beginning of an attempt to destroy the cleo
ton laws of the States"
The fear of the Ranknazis that through the pro-
posed law. the black risting their lives on land and
sea might be pryeeed cast ballots for candidates in the
forthcoming election with possible dire results for the n
cumbents who misrepresent them in Congress
Rankin harped that the provisions of the proposed law
violated the rights Of sovereign States, and his associated
Rankna2is echoed him at every turn, to the disgust OF
representatives from democratic who naturally fav
ored the bill
Nevertheless, the tactics of the Ranknazis succeeded,
for while the House passed the BILL it protected the poll
tax in eight States against wartime suspension by to l
vote.
So q black soldier who has faced hell in New Guinea
Egypt England or Australia, and black sailor who fas
withstood showers of bombs viii not be able to vote in
the election in the poll tax States unless they remer
bered to pay the tax out of low wages wages before

fat-saying campaign? You know
fat, or grease makes glyeerine,
and glycerine makes gunpowder.
1t is said that housewives waste
enough fat every year to make
1000 million pounds Of glycerine,
Well, the Departments Exten-
sion Services, in cooperation with
the War Production Board, is ar
ranging with meat dealers to re
ceive waste fat. So housewives
can play an important part in
helping to meet the Nations gly-
cerine needs by taking their sur
plus fat to the nearest meat deal
er or freezer ecker pant. The deal
er will pay for il at the rate of q
few cents a pound, but don't take
less than pound at a time.
And here are some more don'ts
don't take your fat in glass con-
tainef, don't hold it until it be-
comes rancid, and don't take it
to the dealer ON week ends. It's
also important that housewives
conserve fats, using it over and
over so that they'll have to buy
less,
While We are talking about say
ing, let's turn to some important
foods: meat, eggs, milk, You
must watch them closely during
these hot summer days in order to
guand against waste. To keep
them over a day, you need a re-
frigcrator or another very cold
storage space. Ii you have Meth
er, don't keep on hand any more
Of these foods than you can use
during a day.
Better take care of your paint
brush, because you may have diff
ficulty these days buying another.
If your old brush is stiff, don't
thrown it away. Soak it over
night in paint thinner, or in case

cheering suggest. Shelac brushes

Here's something which should
make the Axis pause to reflect;
Negro All club boys in Georgia
have already produced 70,9Sl lbs
of beef to help meet this years
Food-for- Freedom goals.
In Oklahoma, 440 All club boys
have enrolled in shop courses so
that they can keep the wheels
turning on the farm.
In Virginia, two surveys OF
1,176 farm families in 35 CON-
munities have heer made. The
first was made before Pearl Har-
Dor, and it showed that l ,120 farm
families had poultry flocks, 1888
had hogs, SS6 had gardens, 76S
had one or more cows. and 791
had sufficient feed for their live
stock.
The second survey, made a few
weeks ago, revealed that 1,l6l had
poultry flocks, 1857 had hogs
1929 had gardens and 1888 had
feed for their livestoes. 1t shows
definitely that Negro armers are

proud that we have a publisher in
