"Christmos Phontosy"
By S-SGT. ALVA D. JACKSON

In my dreams, I've built castle in this city
Filled with Christmas trees, and lights beside the fall
| open this castle, to the unfortunate,
Because I've presents to give them all.
I'm giving health, happiness, strength vim and vigor
I'm sending boxes of sunshine everywhere.
I'm sending hope to the weary and discouraged
And to all blind sinners, send prayer
| send these gifts, but only in my phantasy
The sort of dreaming that Yule peace-seekers do;
Believe me, though, if could do it
Id give all these Christmas gifts to you'll

From reading the daily press re-
Gently. il appears that the major

talked disagreed on the. origin OF
the race riot
Prosecuting Attorney. william
f. Bowling and Police Commits

ion, from what | CLEAN from the
press that the Negroes in the City
OF Detroit were the instigators and
that the whites were only engaged
in an act OF retaliation
The thought comes to me now.

going 10 accept the version OF this
recent disturbance. which caused
the loss Of so many lives The
prosecuting attorney and police
commissioner say that the NAACP
should be more interested in edu-
eating the people than agiiaiins
them.
do not believe that the \AACP
is an Organization engaged IN try

Attorney Would Launch Drive
To Have Negroes Register

Any colored man or woman who
refuses 10 register and vote is Just
as much an enemy 10 the other
colored citizens OF Detroit as the
police officers who with their re-
yolvers shot more than 20 Negroes
without any cause or justification.
] believe the NAACP and all
the other colored civic organiza-
tons should start program OF
ostracism.
Any Negro who refuses 70 vote
should not enjoy any fruits or
benefits from those who are full
filling their full civic duties. Any
colored man who refuses TO reg
lister and vote after the recent dis
turbance in this city Is as detri-
mental to the colored citizenry az
the Ku klux Khan. In other words.
they are endorsing sll the intimi-
dations, humiliations and discrim-
nations handed them from the
caucasion group.
Ny conclusion, therefore is that
each colored citizen Of The City OF
Detroit would be fully decorated
II in the very near future. we could
see little button on the lapel OF
his coat with the insignia regis
tered.
