Ne-o The~

BY WILLIAM L. SHERIFF.
BY WILLIAM L. SHERIFF.

WHILE AMERICA BOASTS Of
being the most enlightened nation
on earth, II is stupidity attempting
10 erect dual social and economic
system based on race and color at
staggering cost TO our national
progress.
The IDEAL AMERICAN Is not
made in the editorial columns Of
newspapers nor magazines. The
perfect American i necessarily a
supposltiOnal being. who, 10 be
complete and right. must he a COM
post Of the best that every race In
this country, even the Negro-can
contribute.
MANY PERSONS SAY that the
Negro should not emphasize race
pride, race history: that we should
simply adopt the history and racial
standards OF the dominate group.
Yes. but what are We going 10 do
In a world which Is closing the
doors OF opportunity 10 off set our
lack Of confidence in our own race
which Is preventing our uniting TO
provide opportunities for ourselves?
WE LACK NOT n single neces-
sary ingredient for the magic por.
ton which brings success. We can
sit down right where We are while
the world pushes ahead, or We can
resolve highly that as we. have
breath we also will advance. We
know the world speaks Of "A Ne.
gro" but i can never make II stick
80 long as we do not accept the
Limitation.
NO RACE on THE GLOBE IS
more ignorant OF its past life and
history than the Negro people. and.
as consequence, no race Is less
proud OF itself than we are. Ignor-
ance creates fear: knowledge Is
the handspring OF bravery and ag-
gressiveness. Hence, among the
many things that are necessary TO
our future advancement as n race,
none Ia more important than a
careful study OF our past history
and thorough knowledge OF our
possibilities and rights as citizens.
JUST AS LONG as we are
separated. possessed OF a do
nothing policy. standing on the re-
receiver end, too hlde-bound, stlngy
and tight-wad to give our means 10

Food For Thought
By James Ernest Williams

BY James Ernest Williams
Most honest men are usually
poor.
College aims TO teach one how
to live and what 10 live for.
One who learns how TO get up
after stumbling will someday know
how TO stand.
True happiness is seldom earned
without a struggle.
All true work is art.
Some people would almost rath-
err perish in the midst OF plenty
than reach for what they need.
Man Is that part OF God that can
not be satisfied.
Anyone can make a noise. but II
takes an artist to produce harmony.

 today the s6n came out and tIie mercury climbed to heights which, Waterbury had almost given up d impossible of reaching.
 Activity which was temporariiy halted yesterday because of the se- were cold wave which engulfed the city, resumed to almost normal to. day. Schools which yesterday dis. missed pupils when janitors were unable to raise the temperature to a comfortable extent resumed aea- sions this morning, and coaI-users returned their share of heating worries to the fuel oil users.
 Six schools of the city called of sessions yesterday. They included slocuni school now the center of q fuel-to-coal conversion discussion, Walsh, Bishop, Tinker, Bucks Hill, and Sprague, all of which burn coal. Dr. Thomas J. Ccndon. su. perintendent of schools, stated to- day there was not heating din. culty reported from any of the schools this morning.
 Fuel~oil users meanwhile continue to file complaints of insufficient ra. tions. The local ration board has called special sessions to consider appeals taken by householder, and officials state every effort will be made to grant supplemental allow. ances where real need can be shown.
 Added to the worries of fuel oil consumers was report that fuel oil stocks in Waterbury had hit a new low. Consumers were asked to conserve their supplies as much as possible pending arrival of addi. tional consignments.
 Landlords who are required by federal rent regulations to provide 65 degree heat to tenants were among the latest persons to in- crease their worries. One landlord who uses coal furnace to supply heat to tenants complained ct the rent office that 1t was not possible to conform with the law because tenants kept windows open and heat escaped. Rent officials stated such complaints would be investi- gated and landlords may be allowed to take court action if 1t is found that tenants are purposely consti- tuting a heating nuisance"
 Personal appeals for supple. mental fuel oil allowances will be heard by the local ration board to- night, tomorrow and Thursday nights between 2 and 9 o'clock at the headquarters at 11o Wegt Main street, according to an announce ment made today by Fred A. Webb, local fuel oil administrator.

 Asked whether, after year of ac- ton, combat missions were regarded as exciting adventures or routine chores, the tall young Group com- mander grinned and said: They're fun when you hit your target, and work when you miss."

and captured since the new offen- sive began a week ago.
 The Germans mounted continuous tank and infantry counter-attacks southwest of Stalingrad, probably 57 mibes away, near Verchne Kum- sky.
 Near railroad junction, Soviet forces beat off an attack supported by 35 tanks, the noon communique asserted. The Germans lost 200 killed and SIX tanks.
 In that area yesterday, the Ger mans succeeaed Tn pressing the Rus- sans back and capturing 8 col iective farm, but it cost them II tanks and 7U0 killed.
 The Germans were trying to re- lieve g divisions trapped between the Don and Volga rivers by the first Russian offensive. They made one major attempt week ago, il tailed and they lost 50 tanks and 5000 men.
 Tn a factory area of Stallngrad city, the Soviet garrison metnodi- caIy went about It's day and night task of reducing German piilooxes and Qualifications. On the south- ern outskirts, a Soviet unit sudden ly stabbed into enemy lines and killed more than 100.
 Northwest of Stalingrad, an at- tacking Soviet unit killed 15O Ger mans and captured two guns and other booty. Soviet artillery smashed Is block houses and dug outs, and on another sector the Russians killed 90 counter-attack- ing Germans and burned two tanks
 On the central front, where the third Russian offensive was in prog ress, Soviet forces consolidated new positions and beat off German coun- ter-sttacks.
 West of Rzhev, the Russians threw back three counter-aGaacks, killed 300 Germans, and destroyed nine machine guns and 12 trench mortars. On another sector, tank busters repelled two counter-at- tacks and disabled or burned ten tanks.
 Warmer weather, succeeding bliz- zards, was heipIng the Russian drive on the central Don front.
 The Communist party organ Pravda said German corpses, tallKs, guns and trucks were choking snow filled ravlnes, roads and fields in the path of the advancing Red army.
 The Soviet high command an- nounced last midnight that the Red army on the central Don front has advanced F to Is miles. They cap- tured Degtovo. IS miles northeast of the important railway junction of Millerovo, on Sunday.
 While the relation of yesterdays advance to Millerovo was not made clear, the Russians were within three miles of that key center, pre- suming they continued their ad- vance in the same direction.
 Millerovo is some i20 miles from RoStov.
