Like Other Races

An attractive white girl told
me she was perfectly wild over
Eddie Anderson, the "Roches-
ter" of radio and Aim fame.
Many colored fans heaved a
sigh of relief when Joe Louis
married Marva because of the
many white girls who had their
eye on the worlds heavyweight
king. Blond blue-eyed German
frauleirs, reared by Hitler to
admire physical proves were
overcome by the 1885 Olympic
feats of handsome Jesse Owens
and other Sepia members Of the
U. S. Olympic Team. One could
tell an unlimited number Of
eases to explode the race
hatred" myth but perhaps the
biggest argument is the number
of mixed people of all nationali-
ties.
When the people of the world
realize that our differences are
based on matters that have
nothing to do with race, creed
or color, then we can truly say
we have reached a milestone in
genuine civilization.

Dixie Ladies Meet

Perhaps the most optomistic
note in the entire story of wo-
mems activities for democracy
is the story eminating from the
south this week of a major. eff
fort TO establish an inter-racial
Congress for the betterment of
relations between the races.
Fog several years now, a
group Of southern white women
Rho reportedly held their first
meeting in Georgia. have had
this idea Of inter -racial unity.
Many OF these are undoubtedly
supporting the new venture.
These new progressive south
em white women are now fully
aware that certain types of
southern white men and women
have hurt the south, that GER
tain wild women have been
the cause of unjustified perse-
cution of Colored men and that
certain low brow racketeers now

Boston Ladies Active

There is no use undertaking
this new women's activity on
behalf of a better Democracy.
The facts are everywhere. Here
in Boston I find even the aver
age Colored women willing to
work, and even fight for better
inter-racial conditions. You will
see many of them at the United
Victory Rally, Sunday at 3 PM,
at the Boston Arena, easily
reached by subway. BoSton's
wormen fired the opening shot
for the USO victory on the Com
mon, and stand ready to make a
case out of any discrimination
in the city. The most militant
lady editor in the country is
Boston's own Mrs. Maude Trot-
ter Steward, sister of the fam
Gus and sadly missed William
Monroe Trotter, the founder and
irreplaceable editor of THE
GUARDIAN. A Boston woman,
has paved the way for local ex-
preston on the radio, and BoS-
ton women are working hard
everywhere in, every phase of
endeavor.

Suburban Program
A Great Success

(KNs) The Clarence Cam
eron White Club of Boston
held one of it's most successful
Musical and Literary meetings
in the First Baptist church,
West Cliftondale, Sunday, July
4 at 8 p m.
This affair was sponsored by
the Golden Rule Club of the
First Baptist church, Miss Cora
Ridley, vice president of both
clubs, was the efficient Mis-
tress of Ceremonies.
Fred Henderson, chairman
of the management committee
of the Clarence Cameron White
Club was able TO secure much
Boston talent for the trip to
Saugus, and due to the hospi-
tally Of Mrs. James Darby OF
Boston who drove her own su-
per Chevrolet, a car full OF us
rearched Saugus in time to be
entertained by Miss Ridley in
her home before the church
program.
In this automobile were Mrs.
Viola Darby, Mrs. Hazel Gran
ger, mother of Miss Betty Gran
ge, violinist and reader, Miss
Sybil Darby daughter of Mrs. Vi
ola Darby, baby sybil is only
three years old, Mr.. Joseph
Stewart, pianist, Mr.. Fred Hen
derson and the writer.
The musical talent was extra
ordinary, particularly the sing
ing of Mrs. Margaet Smith Wal
ton of Saugus, contalto, and
wife of Corp. Walton of the
366th Infantry.
Miss Betty Granger, violinist,
showed her versatility by recit-
ing The Creation by James We'll
don Johnson, accompanied Mrs.

those mentioned already the
playing of Mr.. William Butts,
pianist, was exceptional. Others
on the program were: Mrs. Pris-
ella Tobin, pianist and accom-
PIANIST, and Mrs. Marion Wynn,

a close decision to the invad-
ers. Barnhill will probably be
the pitching choice of the Gu
bans in this Boston clash.
For the Quincy team, Man
ager Burns, former star with
the st. Louis Browns and the
Detroit championship Tigers,
will have a choice of three
former major league pitchers,
Ted Olson, Red Sox, Joe Null
ligan, Red Sox, and Jimmy
Hickey, Braves, to take over
the mound assignment. Char
lie Bird, winning twirler over
the New York Colored Yank-
ees, completes the staff of The
Quincy nine.
Burns, himself, after turning
down an offer to join the
Braves earlier this season, will
be taking care of first base
himself while Arthur Skinny
Graham, formerly with the
Red Sox, will be in centerf1eld.
Graham was one of the finest
local prospects ever to go up
to the Sox but it was his mis-
fortune to go into the majors
when the Sox were loaded with
talent.

Hes Her Boy"

Regardless of the facists and
all the crackers in Dixie, every
wife and mother-white or COL
ored, has a rich enough stake in
this or any other war to speak
her piece just as loud and as
long as the highest publicized
representative in the United
States Congress. For it's her
husband and her boy who is 60
ing to do the fighting and not
certain long winded MASTERS of
the peoples tax money. This
is the feeling that is sweeping
the nation among the women
who have for long years sat pa
tient and docile awaiting for
some miracle to remedy the
conditions that have kept white
and colored at odds and created
unnecessary suffering on both
sides.
Tomorrow, Sunday, will see
the gathering of CoIored women
as we'll as men at the Boston
arena. It's their right and their
duty to be present. This is not
a hate" meeting. The races do
not hate one another. Colored
people are fighting against a
system-not against a people.

name for the system atop page

also named three-year-old
champion in 1941 and h2ndi-

injury in the Equipoise Mile,
his last race, was the FIRST
time recorded that he has
come out of a race with any
physical setback. On his rec

with this potential future

few years. Owner Wright never
did urge his trainer to pick
the easiest spots for Whirl-

LOVELY HEELS

Since your heels will be ex-
posed this summer too as we'll
as your toes, why not make
them a Joy to look at. This is
how it is done. Just remember
to massage them with a bit Of
your face cream each time you
cream your face. Your heels
will respond to such care by
looking soft, rosy and smoother.
Then you may join the grade
parade Of pink toes and rosy
heels t hat peep out of the
dainty summer-sandals. To
know that your feet are beauti-
full will add grace to your walk.

Keep The Record Clean

The people Of the United States have
become so used to enjoying railroad trans
portation that is practically free Of acct
dents to passengers, that they are shocked
when a train wreck does occur.
1t is true that the number of passenger
fatalities this year will exceed those of any
year for the past twenty years. although
the fatalities per 1OO,000,O00 passenger
miles are very little more than they were
in 1910, 1926 and 1925, and less than they
were in 1922 and some of the earlier years.
Figures show that the chances of the
average passenger being killed in a train
wreck are on a ratio of but one chance in
four million. This means, even at the death
rate this year, the average passenger can
look forward to travelling in safety 37O,O0O,
900 miles-a journey which would require
constant travel for about 1900 years.
If one could be as safe from accidental
death at home or in recreation as on the
train, untold grief and suffering would be
averted
The New York Times points out editori-
ally that just to keep sense of proportion,
it is we'll to remember that seven bad rail-
road crashes since 1910 have cost ITS lives;
whereas in the single year of 1941 automo-
bile accidents killed 10000 people in the
United States.

Postwar Jobs

The question of what is going to be-
come of war workers when the war ends
and production of war equipment stops is
one of the questions which Washington and
industry are trying to answer right now
So far the solution has not been found.
Large industries, which know they can en-
ploy an enormous number of men when
they are ready for about civilian produc-
ton, don't know what they can do about
those workers while they are installing
new equipment for peacetime nanufactur-
ing.
Unless some answer is found, there is
bound to be period of six months or a
year of widespread unemployment.
At present there is enough money saw
ed by the people of this country, in war
bonds and in savings banks, to almost
guarantee major buying spree and period
of prosperity after the war. But if those
savings have to be spent to support fami-
lies temporarily unemployed, enough will
be used up to explode all our dreams Of
new cars, new homes or new anything.
One plan which has been given some
consideration has been to compel industry
to give war workers 6-months' vacation
with pay during that transition period.
But such a solution would indirectly cost
the consumer billions of dollars and would
force smaller companies into bankruptcy.
With all the brilliant minds which are
working on this problem, it would seem
that they could arrive at some better ans
Wer than government Or industry hand
outs

Initiative Saves Lives

It is a matter of record that medical
service for American armed forces is un-
equaled throughout the world, and fatali-
ties among our wounded are unbelievably
low.
The foundation for such service was
an independent American medical system
and a privately supported and operated
American Red Cross This combination was
ready to give medical care which could not
have been secured in any other way.
The blood plasma service of the Ameri
can Red Cross will 60 down in history as
one of the most remarkable life saving
activities ever recorded. Without it, count
less thousands of American soldiers and
sailors would never return home.
One of the things to be proud of about
American medical service and Red Cross
service is that it is a testimonial to the
superiority of private initiative and enter
prise in science and relief work, as con-
trasted with the ideals of the totalitarian
state in controlling and dominating the
lives of citizens.
