Writes lis

Somewhere in South Pacifc)
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 a 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. 1 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.
1 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 1 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,

GRANNY WAS HEP

Grandma sits in her rocking chair,
And views the world with great despair
The young hep, perhaps it's all rect
She never let grass grow under her feet
Grandma today doesn't dig our jive
But they say in her day she looked alive,
She was 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 hannes'
This anxiety's 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 was battered
Grandma's disliked the sound of a cello,
Since Jane said her boy friend was 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 crooners sing,
Keeps patting her foot but still hates swing,
Time will not let Granny get back in the groove,
As the old fellow said: "How the Sun Do Novel"

(From Neal MacNeiPs without
Fear or Favor.")
''The Negro, however, almost
never gets a fair break in the
American press. When he commits
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
tons. 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"
