Naval Sec'y
Sends Message
To Churchnen

CLEVELAND, Ohio-(S N ST.
Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox
told the Fraternal Council of Ne
gro Churches in session here this
week that the Navy acknowledges
it's town responsibility" to en-
courage the Negro citizens desire
ito make every possible contribu-
ton to the task of destroying those
forces which threaten America"

telegram addressed to DR.. William
H. Jernagin, Chairman of the
Councils Executive Committee, and
read at the conference here at
st. John AME Church, on Wednes-
day. The complete text of the
Telegram follows.
my dear Doctor Jernagin Thank
you for the invitation to send a
message to the Annual Conference
of the Fraternal Council Of Negro
Churches of America. The officers
and men of the Navy recognize the
loyalty and patriotism of their
Negro fellow Americans. We are
aware of the courage shown by
| the American Negro in waging his
struggle for full freedom and full
participation in our democratic
ing qualities both on land and sea
We also know of his skills, ability
and energy which are urgently
needed and we acknowledge our
own responsibility to encourage
his desire to make every possible
contribution to the task of destroy
ing those forces which threaten
America.
Early this month / announced
that Negro volunteers are going tC
be accepted for general enlist
ment in the Navy, Marine Corps
! and the Coast Guard. This action
was taken primarily in the interest
of all Americans. It was not q
gesture to minority group. We
know that the Negro leaders are
not going to stop their fight 70,
broader opportunities and we dc
not expect them to do SO. We dc
feel, however, that progress toward
| detectives depends upon an under
standing of realities and making
the most of opportunities. The
attitude expressed by many Ne
groes,. by those who have approx
ed the Nays action as a progress
sive step, yet who reserve the
| privilege to work for more, augur:

Deny White Kin
Share In Estate

LOS ANGELES-(ANP)- A
share of a 100000 estate left
by his mother, Abigail Stark,
daughter of former slave and
Sam Joaquin valley rancher, was
again denied Everett Hutton, Jr.,
41-year-old prison inmate, now
serving a 80 year sentence. The
trail represented one of many pc
titions during the past three
years. Some Of them brought by
additionally proud Nordics who
sought to share in the estate of
a woman who was conceded to
be a Negro.
In the bulky court file that
accumulated during the lengthy
litigation, it was disclosed that
other children of the spinster's
father and his white wife sought
a share of the estate.
During the legal battle, how
ever, the State supreme court
ruled that children born of white
Negro parentage are Legitimate.

LITTLE DOG IS
 LADY'S HEARING EAR

N@@~N@A~@eNNN eSAAAA
 A good deal has been published about the seeing eye" dogs trained to lead the blind safely in trafic.
 Here is a lady who has a little cocker. spaniel that serves as her hearing ear. She writes:
 T have only one good ear, but when I'm in a crowded noisy pub- lie place I seem 10 hear much bet ter. In fact at times my husband is astonished when I tell him about the conversation I have overheard in a crowded streetcar or bus, where he, with two goo dears, can hear little or nothing of what passengers across the aisle or several seats away are quietly saying to each other.
 Tn quiet room, however, I must strain to hear anything and many times fail to hear sounds I should hear. l have a little black cocker spaniel and he hears for me. He is my companion at all times Whenever there is knock at the door or 8 strange footstep on the stairs or ring of the door bell he lets me know in hurry. Yet friends sometimes ask why I bother keeping dog anyway. They just do not understand the friendship and care that little animal gives to one who appreciates 1t. (Mrs. A.)"
 Deafness due to otosclerosis or other trouble in the middle ear cavity (such as the common so- called catarrhal" deafness) is sometimes characterized by ability to hear better in a noisy place, as in riding on a train or in working in place where there is a con- stant chatter or noise of machinery. Explanation for this odd phen- omenon is that the more extensive vibrations caused by loud noise loosen the joints between the os- sicles, (those little bones in the ear that transmit vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear - remem- Der them? hammer, anvil and stirrup) which are abronmally stiff in the condition known as otosclerO- sis. But we'll discuss otosclerosis another day. This is a reminder that dog may serve as a hearing ear for the individual who is very deaf.

That every soldier in combat needs six pairs of shoes year-and that besides all this we are committed to Lease-Lend requirements which will further draw on our leather re" serves? This is why we must choose our footwear and other leather goods this year with greater care, and use every means to preserve what we have.

the home of that complacent wonl- an down the street.
 And, because he didn't have the time, wasn't thoughtful enough. or just didn't have anything to say to a middle-aged women he knew only as a neighbor and friend of his mothers, she wasn't going to bother to send him a carton ot cigarettes or a box of cookies.
 BEING AT CAMP
 IS NO HOLIDAY
 Jim would get cigarettes and cookies regularly, his mother would see to that. But, even if he didn't that wouldn't be important. what was important was the attitude of the woman down the street toward a soldier. That made Jim's mother mad enough to fight.
 It wasn't the first time she had heard civilians take that asstltuCe toward the sons of relatives or friends, acting as though the boys in service were of on holiday with nothing more important to do or thirk about than writing polite letters to people who weren't close to them and squandering their leaves getting in touch with every body who might be "hurt" if they failed to do so.
 There is no place for such thank less littleness in our attitude to- ward the men who are bearing the real burden of this war.
 Those who are sitting ccmfor- ably at home making comparatively small sacrifices for their country ought to be ashamed ever to say or even think, I'm not going 70 write Jim again until he writes me"
