Of the average Negro man and wo-
man how necessary it is for our
race to be industrial at this time
especially here in the deep South.
l am certain that l will be called
a white man lover by stating what
l am about to say, there's many
complaints coming from both Ne
gro and white alike who need man
power men to do actual labor,
am told by these two groups that
both Negro men and women are
refusing to work. This action on
the part of our men and women
does not speak we'll for the race.
In some instances this group is JUS
titled for refusing to work for not
receiving a living wage, but, there's
plenty other industries which need
labor to help win this war that
do pay living wage.
The leaders in our race will do
a swell job if they would spend
a portion of their precious time
by advising this particular group
that are cutting their own Threats.

Level Up!
BY RUTH TAYLOR

In our fondness for statistics, we
are apt to overlook the important
fact that progress is made by level
ing up and not bearing down. We
make graphs and charts of what
people do, of how they live, of
what they think We take straw
votes, and polls of public opinion
and we strike an average on every
subject under the sun.
But we don't get ahead by aiming
at the rear. We get ahead by fol-
lowing the man at the top. Our
nation has made progress unequal
led by any other nation on earth
because we have, through many
set backs, followed the upward
path.
The revolutions of Europe de-
stroyed the leaders and stirred up
the masses without lifting them up
The revolution of America raised
the level of the masses, as leaders
for the whole nation, by force OF
their own initiative and ability
emerged from amongst them. Lit
tie by little we have come nearer
