The meeting of the Board was
held Friday morning, and follow
ing a routine business session, the
Board retired behind closed doors
to discuss the Lymanhurst affair.
No one aside from the Board
members actually knows what went
on in the chambers at that time.
After a period had elapsed, the
women and their representatives
were called in, and told of the
Boards action.
From the attitude of the entire
Board, excepting the Doctor, it was
generally assumed that he had been
submitted to plenty of heat.
Mayor Kline in stating the find
ings of the Board, stated that there
was little likelihood of a recurrence
of such incident.
Several members of the Board,
including I. S. Joseph, President,
emphasized the fact that the Board
was unanimously opposed to any
unfair practices in dealing with
minority groups.

Army Son in

Mrs. E. W. Bowman, 1855 Fifth
Ave. &c., has returned from Mont
gomery, Ala, where she visited her
son, Henry, member of the 99th
Pursuit Squadron, stationed at
Maxwell Field.
According to Mrs. Bowman,
rumors concerning the treatment
of the goth are without foundation,
as apparently everything is being
done to both equip and train the
boys.
Housed in new barracks, fur
nished the best of equipment, she
says that the morale of the group
is high.
White officers are being replaced
by colored in the organization, and
the ratio now stands at about four
colored to one white.
Cultural influences are good, be-
ing located near Tuskegee, the
faculty is taking a deep interest in
their welfare, and. many individual
teachers, as well as outstanding
citizens, are adopting a boy for the
duration, in order to make their
surroundings as homelike as pos
sible.
Mrs. Bowman also visited Rob-
ert Marshall, Jr., and Tully Hick-
man, members of the same organi-
cation.

THIS
WORLD
UNPOPULAR CAUSES
PLENTY OF MAN POWER
NO ROOM FOR MARTY

Inc cause Oh the AIucEICdu GNcSAO
is not a popular one. Nations like
human beings often do not like to
discuss their sins of omission. Any
white man or black man who has
taken up the cudgels for this group
from the early days of our country
to the present time had to have in
testinal fOrtitude and real deter
mination. Students of history who
search through the libraries will
find the early believers in the free
dom of all of Gods creatures,
the AbOlitionists, were terribly
maligned and prosecuted. Thou
sands of these white women and
men have remained unsung by the
people who they worked so hard
to free, chiefly because their cause
in its best days was still unpopular.
Few historians are anxious to re-
cord truthfully the work of those
who labor in the vineyard of causes
which champion the underdOgs.
Books even in the early days had
to have market value and histOr-
ians had to eat.
James Russell Lowell was one of
the early Americans who was
reviled for his advocacy of the free
ing of the slaves. Lowell, one of
the greatest of the American poets,
had his very life threatened num-
Der of times because he favored
abolition of human slavery.
Modern opponents of unpopular
causes have as difficult a time as
did the hardy pioneers. When
their very friends turn against
them and the public clamor is
loudest in condemnation, many of
them seek encouragement in the
Bible. There is found comfort.
A favorite comforter of ours,
however, recalled to us by friend
is the last verse of James Lowells
"Stanzas On Freedom" 1t furnishes
those who seek it a word picture
of a man courageous when all
around him are the afraid:
''They are slaves who fear to speak
For the fallen and the weak;
They are slaves who will not choose
Hatred, soothing, and abuse,
Rather than in silence shrink
From the truth they needs must
think.
They are slaves who dare not be
In the right with two or three"
Irving Abramson, New Jersey
CLIO leader, charges that war in
dustry in the northern part of his
state is utilizing only 40 per cent
of its productive capacity. The
CLIO surveyed TT industrial plants.
He claims, according to the New
York Times, that "The cry for man
power makes it difficult to under
stand the widespread discrimina-
ton by vocational training schools
and industry against Negroes
and Jews"
Clifford Marty, a Minneapolis
man, is a Negro. Unless you knew
him personally he might be mis-
taken for anything but a Negro.
Out of work and with a family,
Marty decided March Z to answer
the various radio appeals of the
U. S. Navy to enlist. He went
down to the Mill City Naval re-
cruiting station and requested an
application. He got it but when the
officer in charge glanced at his
draft registration card and dis
Overed his racial origin he told
Marty that he was sorry but there
