Seven families in August, 1871,
pooling so cents per family, a total
of $3.50, have as a result of their
foresight a cooperative grocery
which regularly today carries
81, 400 worth of merchandise on it's
shelves.
The Sumner Coop. Store located
in Sumner Field Homes, 1901 Bry-
ant Avenue North, now has almost
300 families participating in the
savings to consumers the grocery
offers.
Possibly the only store of its kind
in any Federal Housing Unit in
America, the store has an inter-
racial board composed of white and
Negro Americans. Its patrons are
people of all races as well as its en-
ployes.
Wilmeth Bowen, shown elsewhere
IN this paper, was a prime mover
in the establishment of the store
and is store manager.
STORE INCORPORATES-WILL

In order to extend it's service the
store recently applied to the Min

sell shares.
Sumner Coop. has been given
permission to capitalize at $500
and sell shares in the store for SO
each.
Shares are now being offered for
sale to the general public.

named DOWN It's runng aItSf
studying testimony taken at hear
ings in September.
The contract between the rail
union and the railroads "is de-
signed for no other purpose than
to cut down the employment of
Negroes as firemen and to increase
the hiring of white persons in these
positions" the FEPC held.
Malcolm Ross, FEPC chairman,
said the contract limits the hiring
of firemen to "promotable men,"
and specifically designates Negroes
as non-promotable, which effec-
lively debars them.
The FEPC decision raises a le-
gal point which the railroad eoun-
sci in September said would put
them Gin the middle" and force
them to violate the edict of the
National Mediation Board (rail-
way) which approved the contract
FEPC ordered voided. The rail-
ways, under the congressional act
covering railway labor disputes,
are required to conform to ruling
of the mediation board.
The mediation board said the
FEPC ruling, which in effect chal-
lenges the boards authority,
would be studied" No other COM
ment was forthcoming.
The railroads, under terms of
the FEPC decision, have the choice
of voiding the contract and defying
the mediation board, or conforming
to the existing contract and defy
ing the FEPC order.
The railways ordered to void
their labor contracts are the At.
lantic Coast line, the Atlanta Joint
Terminals, Central of Georgia,
Georgia Railroad, Jacksonville Ter
minal Co., Louisville & Nashville,
Norfolk Southern, st. Louis & San
Francisco, Seaboard Air Line and
the Southern Railway.

The institution of Miss Ander-
sons grant was forecast in March
1914, when the $4,000 Box Award
was presented the singer in Phila-
delphia. In her acceptance speech,
she stated that she hoped to use
the money "to enable some poor,
unfortunate, but nevertheless very
talented people, to do something for
which they have dreamed all Of
their lives"
In accordance with her wish, the
Marian Anderson Award is admin
istered by a committee composed
of the three trustees of the fund:
Alexander L. Jackson Of Chicago;
Hubert T. Delany of New York;
and Mrs. Ethel dePriest of Phila-
delphia. This committee considers
all applications from young men
and women who fit the require
ments stated by Miss Anderson.
The amount of the annual award is
not fixed one but varies with the
requirements of the winner. The
Anderson Award is not strictly
limited to the field of music though
applicants in this field are given
preference. The prize is open to
both Negroes and Whites.
The selection of the annual win
ner is solely at the discretion of
the committee Of three who decide
upon the fulfillment of the qualifi-
cations of the contestants and the
size of the grant. They reserve the
right to waive the award for any
year in which a suitable applicant
is not found.
Miss Anderson, who is currently
on her regular concert tour of this
country, her eighth under s.
Hurok's captaincy, has long had
the foundation of this award in
mind. The threat of present world
conditions, she feels, makes it i'm
oerative that young, talented peo-
pie be encouraged to continue their
studies.
eve must not permit the war to
interrupt the development of our
young artists" Miss Anderson said.
while our country is fighting the
forces of destruction, we must con-
inue to encourage youth in the way
of life which makes America the
land we love. Cultural and spir-
itual values should not be disre-
yarded even in the midst of a crisis.
They are what we live and die for"
Toward this end, the famous
singer plans to make the fund now
established the beginning of a
greater one to which she win add
further gifts from time to time.

Negro Lobbyist

Washington, D. C. - Edgar j.
Brown of the National Negro
Council" who offices in the Chi
cago Tribune Building in Chi
cago, asked the abolition of the
Negro bureau of the owl Tues
day.
Brown charged at a meeting of
the Senate appropriations commit
tee that the bureau was engaging
in Fourth term" political activi-
ties among Negroes.
Edgar Brown, a former govern
ment employee and New Deal sup
porter, lost his job when reductions
in government relief and recovery
agencies were made.
He is reported now to be affili-
ated with The Chicago Tribune in
its campaign against the F.D.R.
administration. Brown "commutes,"
Chicago newspapers say, between
Chicago and Washington, appear
ing before various committees and
bureaus. His various appearances
always take on the anti-Roosevelt
flavor, as we'll as his newspaper
column which he sends free to sew
eral Negro papers.
The lobbyist gets more distribu-
ton to dailies via the Associated
Press than many leading Negroes
and interracial or Negro organiza-
tons. This is ascribed to the Chi
cago Tribune influence.
Brown brought to the committee
room tear sheets from a Phila-
delphia Negro newspaper and from
a national magazine showing a pic
ture distributed by OWL of Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt with Ellie
Lescot, president of Haiti, at the
White House during Lescot's recent
visit to Washington.
Senator Nye r., N. d., an ap-
preparations committee member,
said Brown cited the photo as ian
example of fourth term propaganda
distributed by the bureau" Nye
explained the committee took no
action on the complaint and could
take none, since the Owls request
for a supplemental five million dol
lar appropriation, now before the
committee, concerned overseas &C
tivities exclusively.
Theodore Poston, chief of the
Negro news desk at Owl head
quarters, said the picture referred
to by Brown was of routine ma
ture, of the type taken 'when the
head of any state visits the White
House." and that it was distributed
"only on request" Poston added
that % Negro newspapers, out of
total of 248 in the nation, and one
magazine requested it.

along the stone wall on one edge
Of the Old Orchard. After a while
he forgot all about Sammy Jay.
Anyway, he was sure that Sammy
wouldn't think of going to the corn
crib so late in the morning, for it
wouldn't be safe at all Farmer
Browns Boy almost would be sure
to see him. So Chatterer forgot all
his troubles and frisked about and
had splendid time all by himself.
Right in the midst of it Sammy
Jay arrived in the Old Orchard.
Good morning, Chatterer," said
he, 81 fear I am a little late for
breakfast"
breakfast" sneered Chatterer,
breakfast! Why it's nearer dinner
time. have had my breakfast"
II thought likely" replied Sam
my. Il suppose you have plenty of
corn ready for me here?"
Corn ready for you? I should
say not!" snapped Chatterer. "You
didn't say anything about getting
corn for you this morning"
Didn't I? Well, l guess l must
have forgotten to. Never mind
you can run over there and get
some for me now" replied Sammy
"Go yourself!" snapped Chatterer.
81 think I'd rather not" replied
Sammy. GARNER Browns Boy is
chopping wood right close by the
corncrib, SO prefer to have you 60"
II won't!" Chatterer fairly
screamed, and danced about in his
rage. II won't!"
"Oh, all right" replied Sammy,
yawning. 81 saw Shadow the
Weasel down in the Green Forest
this morning and he inquired for
you. I think I'll go look him up
again
Chatterer turned pale. 'I-Tu
co." he stammered weakly. There
was no way out of it; he had to keep
his promise.

in the Green Forest this morning,
and he inquired for YOU"
Sammy Jay get corn from that corn
crib when Sammy should ask him
to. In fact, he had promised to
get the corn and put it wherever
Sammy wanted it put. 1t wasn't
much to do. He really didn't mind
doing the thing itself; it was the
thought that Sammy could make
him do it.
Now Chatterer had sharp wits and
Sammy Jay had sharp wits. Chat
terer always had thought his the
sharpest, and it hurt his pride to
feel that Sammy had got the better
of him. He couldn't think Of any
thing else as he curled up for the
night in his snug bed in the old
home of Drummer the Woodpecker
up in the Old Orchard. He thought
and thought and thought and thought,
trying to find some way to wriggle
out of his promise, and, just before
he fell asleep, an idea came to him.
He would go over to the corncrib
before Sammy Jay was awake, eat
his fill and then hide from Sammy.
The next morning very early Chat
terer visited the corncrib, ate hur-
ried breakfast, and then hid in the
old stone wall to watch for Sammy
Jay. But Sammy didn't come at
the time he used to visit the corn
crib before Chatterer had given him
that terrible scare. Chatterer wait
ed and waited, but no Sammy Jay.
Chatterer began to get impatient,
but still he didn't dare leave his hid
ing place for fear that Sammy
might come. At last Chatterer de-
cided that Sammy had gone some
where else that morning, so he came

Cautions for Home Gamers

Housewives doing home canning
with wartime jar caps are cautioned
to follow implicitly the instructions
OF the cap manufacturers if they wish
to avoid unhappy experiences and
waste in their patriotic effort to con-
serve. Spoilage of food and breakage
OF jars is certain to result, if instruc-
Proper methods and careful can
ming will insure excellent results,
more important in the present food
situation than at any other time
The Glass-Top Seal Fruit Jar Cap,
a wartime product developed to con-
serve metal, requires careful use,
according to the home service de-
partments of fruit jar manufa cturers.
This cap consists of metal band,
glass lid and rubber ring. With these
three widely varied materials making
up its component parts, the cap must
be used according to important but
easily followed instructions. First of
all, the cap is not recommended for,
and must not be used in, oven can
ming.
If the food is processed Cooked in
a jar), one inch of space must be left
in the top of the jar when filled, in
order to allow room for expansion.
If an open kettle is used a half-inch
of space must be left in the top of
the jar.
The next step is to place the rub
Der around the projection on the bot
tom side Of the lid, and the lid must
then be placed so that the rubber lies
between it and the top eGge of the
jar. All jars on which top-seal clos
ures, either glass or metal, are used
must have snlooth-top edges.
The band is then applied tightly
and Immediately loosened slightly
about one-quarter of turn. Bands
must fit loosely during the processing
or cooking. If an open kettle is used,
the bands are to be screwed tight as
soon as the jar is filed. After the
processing is completed the bands
are. screwed tight to complete the
seal. The bands may be removed
twelve hours after the canning opera
ton. At no time should the filled
jars be turned up-side-down.
The housewife who takes no chances
on variance from any one of these
simple but important steps is assured
of success and the enjoyment of the
delicious flavor of home canned
foods this winter-Adv.
