Negro Farmers

In War Effort
NEGRO FARMERS

NEGRO FARMERS
NJ. Clifford Townsend, special
representative of the War Food
Administration, was the principal
speaker at Pilgrim Baptist church,
Chicago, recently in connection
with the launching of a goodwill
movement designed to offset ra-
cial misunderstanding and conflict.
Mr.. Townsend pointed out that
Negro Americans in the armed
services, in war plants and on the
farm are making a large contribu-
ton toward winning of the war
and the establishment of the Four
Freedoms. In referring to far
mers, he said, "One out of every
nine farms in the United States is
operated by Negro And 40 out
of every SO Negro farms are located
in the South. Here is how impor-
tant Negro farmers are to the
South and to the entire nation. Ne
groes operate one-fourth of all
farms in the South and supply half
of the farm labor.
Negro farmers alone, if they
meet their GOALS will prodJ1pn
enough eggs this year to serve II
million soldiers and sailors and
flyers an egg for breakfast every
morning from now until next No
vember. They will produce enough
milk to meet requirements of II
million fighters for the next six
months"

Arrows Into the Sun

og JoHfeed LdurltSen. (Kn0ptD
Here is a newcomer to the literary
scene, possessing power of descrip-
tlon reminiscent of Thomas Wolfe
and the sensitivity of James Branch
Caben. Already this, his initial
work, has divided the critics, some
lavlshing praise, others being unim-
pressed
His locale is the Grand CANYON
country; his story is that of Sigor,
the son of white man and a Span
lsh-lndlan woman who lived among
the Navajos, whose life was disor-
dered because he could be neither
wholly white nor wholly Indian in
his outlook and who finally found
happiness with Halle, a Mormon
girl.
The author relates how Mormon
men were as proficient in prayer as
they were with gun. On occasions,
when he touches on polygamy. an
early Mormon custom, he has one of
his characters leaven ridicule of
praying elders with a keen sense of
humor.
The Indian in Sigor rebelled
against the white mans encroach-
ments and killings; his white blood
yielded to his fathers view that the
redskins only salvation was to adopt
the white mans customs. To oppose
the palefaces, Sigors father con-
tended, would be as futile as shoot
ing arrows at the sun
Sigor's role is told in prose which
often achieves rare beauty Halle
story is given diary pattern. Ad-
mixture of the styles gives the book
an arresting flavor. Mr.. Lauritzen
