A FIGHT THAT SHOULD
NOT BE NECESSARY

1t is ironic that such a fight
should be necessary. 1t is inexplic-
able that any group should be de-
MED such a privilege in democrat
lie countries at time when every
resource of energy and power is
needed to overcome the barbario
cruelties of the aggressor nations.
In the fight for the principles
of justice and honor, the Negro
people should not have these trials
and tribulations. They have a
right to fight for equality Of
treatment and recognition.
The story or their con-
tinued struggle to achieve equality
citizenship and even-handed JUS
tice is well-known 1t neee not
here be recited in elaborate detail.
Even now, while engaged IN
Americas death struggle, they
are facing discouragements calcul-
ated to dispirit and depress them.
They are having forced upon
them unfair, unjust, discrimina-
tory practices not being forced up
on any other element of our Ameri-
can citizenship.

When the full honor OF, Pearl Har-

The Federal Housing Administra-

operation and pointing out what can
be done by the individual to assist
In the drive to make available more
vital metals for war usage:
"The present national drive for
scrap metal Is bringing in thousands
of tons of discarded, unused and
unessential metal that will be melted
down and turned into shells, guns,
tanks, bullets and other implements
OF war necessary to defeat our en-
emies.
Demand Acute.
This drive for metal is important.
Scrap metal Is necessary in the
manufacture Of steel. The national
war effort needs and demands every
pound We can lay our hands on.
Therefore every home owner is
strongly urged to make a careful
scrutiny of his property for every
ounce of scrap metal available.
TN nearly every home there Is to
be found many pounds Of metal that
should find its way to this pile of
essential scrap. Every attic, cellar,
garage and shed is the source of
items that make a definite contribu-
ton.
These sources should be gone over
carefully for every item and pound
OF metal that is not absolutely es-
sential to the owner and the opera
ton of his home. II there is any
question as to It's use, or future
value, that item should be contrib
uted.
Scrap metal is needed badly by
your country. 1t is your duty and
responsibility to see that your scrap
gets into this war See to 1t, then,
that your scrap metal gets to the
nearest salvage depot as quickly as
possible.
Such items as old metal bed
springs, old irons, stoves, tire chains,
lawnmowers, radiators, washing ma
SAAAAASoS ooAi Se1AAos o1d Plplllk, uCll
tools, metal toys and skates, old
wire, pots and pans are just a few
of the items usually to be found
rusting away in attics and garages
and cellars.
so get busy and give your home
thorough going-over for any scrap
metal you find lying around.
1t will do the house good, too.
Aside from making an important
contribution to the national war eff
fort, 1t will be good thing to get
some OF the trash that has been
cluttering up the house out of the
way
But, in any case, start right now
to go over your home for any and
all metal scrap that can be con-
tributed to this national drive

Arlington Building Permits
Lowest Since February

Arlington County construction
dropped to the lowest point since
last February, the Building Depart
ment reported today. Only 108 per-
mits were issued during November

However, officials said, with al
most 100000 worth of business
scheduled to be handled this month,
on the Defense Homes Seminary
Heights project, the 1912 total is
expected to exceed that of last year
by a large margin. Total figures
for this year thus far, they said,
are 15,023,533, compared with SIS
944,763 for the II months of 1941.
In 1910, the building valuation was

THIS Is the difference: A

there is a dead silence, she

Why do we waste so much
