More EnroIIees Needed
However, 10 Garry
Work On

War needs have changed the
objective of the Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps and now it is assist
ing in many ways with the ma
TONS victory program. During the
past winter Juneau crews nave
fenced the native gardens at AUX
Village Beach; cleared a commun-
ity garden near town; improved
communication facilities to AUX
Bay. and maintained necessary
roads and trails. Men, camps and
equipment have been organized and
will work with the local Director
of Civilian Defense in emergencies
Have Many Projects
The Haines crew has improved
the water systems of the city and
the Office of Indian Affairs school
The local CCC crew at Angoon
has completed a road from the
town to an excellent small boat
anchorage at Killisnoo. The Hoon-
alb crew has completed the water
system for the town and has start
ed to fill in a nearby slough IN
order to improve local health con-
ditions. All the efforts of the
Corps are tied in, as far as pos
sible, to activities essential to the
victory program.
Additional enrollees are needed
in Juneau for work on worthy ma
tional defense projects but men
who are needed for military service
or who are already employed will
not be enrolled. Boys seventeen
and eighteen years old and those
who may be older but are unem-
ployed because of minor physical
defects, lack of experience or poor
work habits, can be helped and
can at the same time serve the
national effort.
Help Needed
Many former enrollees have been
trained for occupations such as
truck drivers. clerks and camp
cooks and have obtained good jobs
in industry. All unemployed mer
in Juneau interested in CCC en-
rollment should call at the Admir-
atty Division office of the Forest
Service, located in Room Ala OF
the Federal Building.
The first CCC Camp was estab-
lished on April II, nine years ago
Previous anniversaries have beer
celebrated with public open house
exhibits, but such observations will
not be held this year because OF
the war. Instead, attention is called
to Corps activities that are con-
tributing to the victory program

sooner had he closed his eyes than
he was wide awake again. sudden
ly and violently, as though some
one had grabbed his shoulders and
had shaken him. He lay on his
back, in bed, hearing AMI seeing
nothing. Then. like an electric
switch being clicked on, he was
aware that the room was filled
with pale daylight. Somewhere

Then, in answer to foreboding
call from dark part of his mind,
he leaped from bed and landed on
his bare feet in the middle of the

parted; his legs trembled. He

M. G. B.-My problem concerns
my church. 1t seems like none Of
the officers will try to cooperate
and do anything at all. They keep
up fuss and a stew all the time
and never get anywhere when they
have meeting. Is there anything
that could be done to help matters?
Ans: IT is regrettable that a
group Of grown people cannot get
down 10 business at a church
meeting without quarreling. You.
their Pastor, will have to take it
upon your shoulders to see that
this business is handled even If
it is necessary to appoint new Of
ficers. Have a special meeting and
explain to the officers how im-
portant it is to work together. Let
them know they are getting no
place by fussing continually. If
you appeal to them as good Chris
tians, it seems to me they will
want to do little better. Some
one must be firm. That will have
to me your job.

America Needs
Negro Scholars,
Says Dr.. Reddick
Can See More
Clearly Issues
Of This War

NEW YORK CITY-(SNS)--
'Now above all times, America needs
the Negro scholar, for the Negro
scholar is unblinded by the veil
of race superiority and is there
fore able to see clearly the nature
of the war and to point out the
road to victory" declared DIR. L..
D. Reddick, lecturer in the Depart
ment of History, before the meeting
of the History Society of the Col
lege Of the City of New York.
DR.. Reddick was speaking on the
topic 'Why America needs the Ne
gro scholar" He pointed out that
Americans generally thought Of
doing something for the poor, dear
Negro" But now the time has
come for America and the Allied
Nations to show that they are
wise by saying to the Negro
scholar and writer come to us, tel
us of the mistakes we have made
and what we need to do in order
to save ourselves"
The speaker pointed to the mis-
takes of the Western Pacific which
had been made by newspaper re-
porters, historians and military
strategists because of the wall Of
race prejudice" which had prevent
ed these observers from realizing
that a 'non-white" nation could
! use the machines of war and
propaganda as efficiently and eff
fectively as others.
Because .ne Negro scholar has
been exposed to the assumptions
and propaganda of the racial myth
and at the same time his experience
has made him objective about 1t
all, he above all others is in a posi-
ton to recognize reality; to see
! that the allies cannot win unless
they arm the colonial peoples of
Asia and Africa and that lin this
war no people will fight for free
dom unless that freedom includes
their own" The City College student
body entered into a lively forum on
the questions raised by the speaker

to get rid of these at once. He put
the knife into the purse and dress

the knife and purse into q garb-
age can. That's it!
He put on his coat and founu
stuffed Ia pocket the pamph-
lets Jan had given him. Throw
these away, tool oh, but. Nav!
He paused and gripped the pamph-
let's il his black fingers as his
mind filled with a cunning idea.
Jan had given him these pamph-
lets, and he would keep them and
show them to the police If he were
ever questioned That's it. He wouls
take them to his room at Dalton
end put them III dresser drawer
He would say that he had not
even opened them and had not
wanted to. He would say that he
had taken them only because Jal;
had insisted. He shuffled the
Pamphlets softly, SO that the paper
would not rustic. and read the
titles: Race Prejudice on Trial
The Negro Question in the United
States. Black and White Unite and
Fight. But that did not seem sc
dangerous.
He looked at the bottom of a
pamphlet and sew black ano
white picture of a hammer and a
curving knife. Below it he read q
line that said: Issued by the Com
munist Party of the United States
| Now, that did seem dangerous. He
looked further and saw pen-and-

say that he had done SO only be-
cause it had been his job. He
would tell them that it was the
first time he had ever sat at q
table with white people.
He stuffed the pamphlets into his
coat pocket and looked at his
watch. 1t was ten minutes until
seven. He had to hurry and pack
his clothes. He had to take that
trunk to the station at eight
thirty.
Then fear rendered his legs like
water. Suppose Mary had not

maybe they had discovered that

Clear Case
Of Peonage
Letter Sent To
Attcrney-Gen'l
BY F. McAllister
Ga.--(SNS)-

ALLAN LA, 0d.-NSNO)-
An investigation has been asked
of the u. S. Department of Justice
into charges that Governor Eu-
gene Talmadge is paroling chain
gang prisoners to work out the
balance of their sentence on
privately owned farms.
In a letter to ATTORNEY General
Francis Riddle. Frank McCallister,
southern secretary of the Workers
Defense League, said. DAILY
newspapers in Atlanta carry stories
the past week indicating that Gov
er Talmadge of this state is pa
rolling convicts to privately owned
farms to work out their sentences.
Tuesday, March 10th, the Gov
ern)r approved SO pardons and
paroles, mostly to Negroes, ON con-
dition that the prisoners work out
the balance of sentence. The Gov
ernor said in recent public ad-
dress, we're going to put 'em to
worl, during the war, and if they
don't work, we are going to put
them back in the gang"
This is plain peonaee and de-
serves immediate investigation by
your civil liberties unit"
McCaLister reported that a spe-
cial investigator has been added
&c the staff of the Georgia Prison
Commission to work up" farm
labor paroles and that it was re-
ported to be doing a land office
business in assigning convict labor
to Georgia farms.

Needless to say, if your sug-
gestion were followed and the adj
ministration Of this program were
left entirely to state officials"
the NAACP said, Negroes would
be sharply restricted not Only in
the amount Of training, but in the
kind they could secure. 1t has come
about that the training program
initiated by the various so-called
New Deal agencies have offered
Negro young people their first op-
portunity on a large scale to
secure the training which will en-
able them to become stable wage
earning, home owning citizens OF
the country.

MORE TRAINED
BARRIERS AND
BEAUTICIANS

ATLANTA, Ga.-(SNS)-
The demand for scientifically
trained BARRIERS, beauticians, and
skin specialists is so great that
leading barbering and beauty in
stitutions admit they cannot fill
it. Griffin Barber College, $50
Mitchell Street, S. W., Atlanta,
Georgia, has on file continuous
requests for well prepared bar
bering and beauty graduates.
Many thoroughly prepared per-
sons have been supplied. But the
surface has only been scratched
insofar as filling the the insistent
demand is concerned.
Griffin training is surprising
iy low, compared with rates
existing at other leading barber
and beauty colleges. Attractive
terms may be easily arranged.
Comfortable rooms with board
can be secured near the school,
Students should be at least 16
years of age and in sound
health. The six-month courses are
open to men and women.
Today, barberlng and beauty
culture are professions made so
by an act of the state board ex-
animation before one may quail
fly. Griffin Barber College equips
all its students with the points
necessary for successfully passing
the board exams in their respec-
tive states. Get particulars at

would carry through and blame the
thing upon Jan. He got his gun
from beneath the pillow and put
it in his shirt.
He tiptoed from the room. look
ing over his shoulder at his moth

He went down the steps to the
vestibule and into the street. 1t

streets were empty. Tucking the

an alley where garbage can stood

garbage trucks would empty the
can early in the morning and no
one would by prying round on a
day like this, with all the snow and
its being Sunday. He lifted the
top of the can and pushed the
purse deep into a frozen pile of
orange peels and widowed bread.
He. replaced the top and looked
round; no one was in sight.
He went back to the room and
got his suitcase from under the
side Of the bed. His folks were still
sleeping. In oroer TO pack his
clothes, he had to get to the dress
er on the other side of the room.
But how could he get there, with
the bed on which his mother and
sister slept standing squarely in
t h e ay? He wanted tc
wave his hand and blot them out.
!, They were always, too close to
him, SO close that he could never
have any way of his own. He cas-

His mother stirred slightly, then
was still. He pulled open a dresser

and piled them in the suitcase.

His mother came into the room
with more plates of food and he
saw how soft and shapeless she
was. Her eyes were tired and sunk
en- and darkly ringed from a long
lack of rest. She moved about
slowly, touching objects with her
fingers as she passed them. using
them for support. Her feet dragged
over the wooden floor and her
face held an expression of tense
effort. Whenever she wanted to
look at anything, even though it
was near her, she turned her en-
tire head and body to see it and
did not shift her eyes. There was
in her heart, it seemed, heavy

whose weight she did not want to
