him often? Do your letters tell him

you cannot answer? Does he often
ask about his friends whom you do
not know and cannot contact?

is yes. then let Chisn's Letter
Writing Service aid you.

URGES TRADE
ASSOCIATION
TO ACT now
Also Sees Decline OF
S m q III Businesses
During War

Appointment Of a committee to
cooperate with existing agencies in
the study OF postwar planning.
especially as il affects the Negro
economically, was urged by the Rev.
William H. Peck, pastor of Bethel
AM.E. church and president emeri-
tus OF the Booker T. Washington
Trade association at the associations
weekly MONDAY luncheon held at
Lucy Thurman Y.W.C.A last We'd
nesday.
The Rev. Mr.. Peck pointed out
that the survival of Negro business
after the war would depend largely
upon the foresight OF wide awake
business men who must look ahead
TO the day when servicemen will
be returning home from the war.
"Or boys returning from the
war should not find the association
sitting down on the old patterns"
the Rev. Mr.. Peck said. Now is the
time for us, as small business men.
20 prepare for business and en-
ployment Of the returning soldier"
A step forward in such prepare
lions. he suggested. would be the
appointment OF committee which
should be placed on the postwar
planning board. This committee
would a,ep the association posted
on plans for the postwar period and
also serve as source OF informa-
ton on all matters now affecting
the small business man.
Warns Business Men
Rev. Peck also pointed out that
many small businesses would be
forced 20 close their doors unless
they are declared essential 20 the
war effort Restrictions on inven-
tories and the help problem. he said,
are virtually forcing many bust
ness men TO close shop for the du-
ration.
To insure replenished stocks Of
merchandise and the employment
OF help governed By new rulings, he
warned that practically all business
must be declared essential 20 the
war effort IL il Hopes to exist. All
businesses not essential 70 thew
industry is subject TO the immedi-
ate loss OF personnel for employ
TTcnt in important war industry.

Picture Is
BrighterM
The South

WASHINGTON-(ANP)-A well
known representative OF govern
mental agency. just returned 10
town from long tour OF the south
and southwest where he investigat-
ed working conditions among Ne
groes FOR his agency, reported last
week that conditions show slight
Improvement as far as Negroes are
concerned. but the whole picture is
far from rosy.
Dixie positively refuses 20 give
the Negro break in salary. al
though in many instances Negroes
are working side by side with
whites. In one case cited, the in
ves;igaior told OF group OF white
women welders down IN Georgia
who had Negro helpers. These help
ers were always close 70 the women
by virtue OF the work they are hired
70 do. They dc most Of the work,
but they draw helpers pay.
In many instances, Negroes are
afraid 10 take advantage Of the op-
portunities presented them through
the job openings in many southern
cities.
They have been browbeaten and
Jim crowed 10 such an extent they
feel they are no, entitled 10 Jobs
when openings occur. Side entran-
ces in most OF the employment
agencies to be used exclusively by
Negroes often serve as mental
handicap before the applicant gets
into the building.
However. some OF the larger SOU
thern cities have shown improve
ment In employing Negroes. al
though most OF the work is in the
laboring class
Rosy reports that Negroes have
had all doors opened 10 them in
employment are denied by this
level-headed investigator who has
covered wide territory in making
his findings.
Unions still block Negroes. not
only in the south. but in Philadel-
pha where a certain aircreft parts
manufacturer had TO warn his en-
tire plant recently when Negro
was hired they would either 20
back 10 work with this young man
or he would close down the plant.
This is not an isolated instance but
an example OF everyday occurren-
ces where Negroes seek work TO
aid the war effort and TO earn
money TO which they are entitled
IL their training so warrants.
But since the bulk of the Negro
population is in the south, thhc job
situation there is more complicated
and difficult than ever.

JUDGE URGES
TOLERANCE OF
SCHOOL PUPILS
Blames Race Strife For
Disturbance At
Ferndale

Stating that 1.-The slightest In
fraction will be investigated and
prompt action taken by police, "
Probate Judge Arthur E. Moore
urged more discipline in schools and
homes and more tolerance toward
Negro pupils in a report made pub
lie last week by the judge.
The report followed an investi-
CATION OF racial conflict at Lincoln
high school. Ferndale. during which
time white youth was stabbed.
In making the report Judge
Moore blamed the alteration on
racial prejudices OF Scott Goodman,
white, for the attack made upon
him by William jenkins who re-
portedly refused to fight Goodman
Goodman, then. so the investiga-
ton disclosed, then grabbed Jenkins
a. O'tAiA NilC iCNh dll0 W d. SNdOOCN
when jenkins defended himself
against the white youth. .
jenkins was taken to a juvenile
boarding home.
A typical lack Of respect for au-
thority was shown and drastic
action should be taken here to
maintain school discipline Corporal
punishment should be used when
necessary, the report added.
Judge Moore urged that teachers
in all schools encourage frank dis
cuSsions Of racial problems toward
eliminating ignorant prejudices. He
said teachers should explain that
racial strife is unwittingly destruc-
tive Of national unity and American
deals Of life

sOyJHBURY MAY VOICE PROTEST
Rationing System of GasO- line Called Discrimina-
 tory By Residents

As tn setate OPA continued to honor motor travel permits issued In New York for trips to this state, Southbury residents and ration of- ficials were reported to be planning official protests to state and region al headquarters and meanwhile widely denounoing the OPA for permitting the discriminatory practice.
 Although Ernest Moeller, chair man of the Southbury ration board, could be reached this morning for statement on the exact nature of the contemplated action, a spokesman stated residents were mot going 70 sit back and watch New Workers drive around town while we sit on our porches and watch our parked cars" The wrath of townsmen is said to have reached a high pitch and a breaking point.
 Several New Workers who were stopped by OPA investigators dur ing the drive against pleasure drivers have produced New York ration board papers which state they may travel to their summer homes. Although the trips have not been approved, OPA commissioners have expressed the opinion they can do nothing but accept the action of New York boards and suspend judg- ment in such cases.
 It is believed some of the sum- mer residents in Southbury y,lo have already secured other gasoline use certificates are now taking ad- vantage of the special vacation travel permits, further creating un- pleasantness for their year-round neighbors.
 Discussion on possible action has bee nconducted at the past few meetings of ration officials, with as much of the bitterness said to have been hurled lately at the OPA as at the New York motorists.
