CHAPTER XVIII.
Pride and Prejudice,

Because you are so l0nely,s so
fearsome, you will find it easy to
complain. When you see what looks
like apathy and indifference to the
war you will want to stand up and
shout to all the world, why aren't
you and you and you in it? This
was supposed to be everybody's war
Why should it be only my life, my
family that is disrupted?"
When you hear women lamenting
bravely the new sable coat they
cannot buy; when you see others
who bear up with sour fortitude
under the lack of new car; when
you listen to sights over the strains
of entertaining-what with liquor
so costly and maids hard to get
you feel personally outraged. You
want to cry out against them.
And you wish there were some way
you could teach them what trouble
| Is.
Perhaps there is no way to in
struct them in the ins and outs
of trouble, these women who are
prepared to suffer under last years
wardrobe. But hardships are not
reserved only for those of us whose
| husbands are off to war.
It's bad business, you conclude.
and waiting isn't much fun. But
where is there the man, woman or
shild who remains wholly untouched
by what is happening?
The mother whose son is in the
air force may not have the per-
sonal desperation that you have.
By the time son is war age. he
and his mother are bound by ties
other than purely dependent emo
tional ones. But a mothers special
kind OF grief is narrowing in its
own way; her life has its own
emptiness.
The unattached girl whose beaux
have all trotted off to various camps
around the country may not be as
broken up as you are, but being
manless when you're single has its
own deprivations. Just think
there's slice of her youth going,
going, gone.
The girl whose fiance has left
to join up may not have your
problems of maintaining the home,
but she has something that may
be worse. She has the fear with
out ever having had anything else.
She has the racking torture Of
wondering whether she should
have married before waiting or
whether, now that she is waiting.
she will ever have the opportunity
Of marrying at all.
Because your own young man is
IN uniform you're going to find it
hard to see young men who are
not. You're going to ask why.
You're going to wonder and resent.
1 asked a young airman whom
met on a train going up to Toronto
what he thought of the civilian
attitude towards troops.
ut isn't what civilians think
about troops any more" he an
ewered. TITS what the man in uni
form thinks about civilians"
If a man decides not to volun-
teer but to wait until he is called
in the draft, what could be more
fair? And If he isn't In uniform
and looks as if he should be, con-
slider the chances you take in a
blngo game. Not every number
comes up every time.
You must be on guard against
your own hurt You must watch
out for your own pride. Because

Writes Us

Editor: I received a letter from
my mother stating that you would
like me to write your paper. 1
apologize for not doing so before. 1
hope this missive will find all in
Minneapolis and st. Paul in the
very best of health and doing their
bit to bring victory abroad and at
home.
eve Negro troops over here find
it tough going every now and then
but we consider it privilege to
know we are doing our part in
bringing to an end in the United
States the eternal disorganization
of our country torn by social injus-
tice, race hatred and regional dis
putes. I hope all are doing their
part in fighting for victory at home.
We will do our part over here. Be-
tween us both we surely can't fail.
also hope that the Negroes in
the States are saving their money,
going to business wherever profit
able and preparing for some type
of self-sufficiency. The time is at
hand to forge ahead on the home
front. With a little cooperation,
pride of race and country, we can
unite for common purpose. We
cannot expect help if we do not help
ourselves.
In closing I would like to express
the hope that when we return to
America there will be no armed
guards barring the door to liberty,
where there will be no barbed wire
fence between a man and his OPP
portunity to work, build and grow,
where all people are pulling to-
gether, making life worth living,
this war worth winning, in other
words true democracy.
AS ever,

Negro In the Daily
Press

(From Neal MacNeil's without
Fear or Favor.")
'The Negro, however, almost
never gets a fair break in the
American press. When he commits
a crime, or does anything else that
is discreditable, the fact that he is
a Negro is specified in the news
story. When he figures in a dis
aster or a tragedy that of itself
minimizes the story. Thirty Ne
groes killed in an Arkansas tornado
make a couple of paragraphs of an
inside; thirty whites would merit
page-one display. The Negro makes
important news only when he in
vades the precious prerogatives of
the whites - their professions or
their fashionable residential sec
lions. His freakish religious ambi-
tons or ridiculous antics may get
news treatment, while his social, in
dustrial, and educational develop
ment since the days of slavery is
ignored. In defense of news editors
it should be said that most Negroes
walk in the humber paths Of life
and that few of them have risen to
positions of national prominence.
Nevertheless, the Negro is ostra-
cized journalistically as much as he
is socially. There is a Jim Crow
standard for news"
Editors Note: Happily all that Mr.. Moe
Neil soYs in the above is not as true in
the Twin Cities dolly as II once was.
Local doilies have led the entire coun-
trY's press in dropping the racial desic-
notion in news stories unless such desig-
notion hos news volue. More ddequdfe

GRANNY WAS HEP

Grandma sits in her rocking chair,
views the world with great despair
The young hep perhaps it's all rect,
She let grass grow under her feet.
Grandma today doesn't dig our jive
But they say in her day she looked alive,
She content just to be alert,
A gay ninety edition of pert skirt.
There's proof throughout albums and annals,
Though Granny weighted by too many fannels,
This anxietys bunk she sits and foments,
The old lady had plenty wild and light moments.
It's hard to convince her when young folk park
Love is still blind and sees better in dark,
No more reason today that lovers have faltered,
Than she and grandfather when dobbin battered.
Grandmas disked the sound of a cello,
Since Jane said her boy friend equally mellow
But Granny keeps talking of Cramps in riddle,
Referring to him as her old bass fiddle.
She sits by the radio to hear sing
Keeps pattng her foot but still hates swing
