Mildred Daniels
Attends Summer
School in Chicago

Mrs. Mildred Daniels, 3716 9Th
Avenue South, left Saturday, July
10 for Chicago where she will spend
two weeks attending the Chicago
University Summer School for
Office Workers, on a Scholarship
provided by the Minneapolis Schol-
arship Committee for the Affiliated
Schools for Workers Inc.
The Office Workers School at
Chicago corresponds to the Wis
consin University Summer School
for Industrial Workers, attended
this year by Lillian Schofield. Chas.
w. Washington, Urban League Ex-
ecutive, and Erma Clardy are men,
bers of the Scholarship Committee.
Mrs. Daniels who formerly held
responsible secretarial and social
work positions in Chicago, ILL.,, is
now employed as secretary in the
law offices of Douglas Hall and
Wyman Smith, attorneys for the
C. 1. o. in the Minneapolis area.
The employment of Mrs. Daniels by
this firm, said Chas. Washington,
Urban League Secretary, demon
strates the practical manner in
which the C. I. o. carries out its
policy of no discrimination.

It's Lovely Actions That
Put Butter on Parsnips'

Every man feels instinctively that
all the beautiful sentiments in the
world weigh less than one single
lovely action; and that, while ten
derneSs Of feeling and susceptibility
Of generous emotions are accidents
Of life, permanent goodness is an
achievement and a quality of life.
Fine words" says one homely old
proverb "butter no parsnips." The
only conclusive evidence of a mans
sincerity is that he gives himself
for principle. Words, money, all
things else, are comparatively easy
to give away; but when a man
makes a gift of his daily life and
practice, it is plain that the truth,
whatever it may be, has taken pos
session Of him. From that sincerity
his words gain the force and per-
tinency Of deeds, and his money is
no longer the pale drudge 'twixt
man and man, but by beautiful
magic, what ere-while bore the i'm
age and superscription of God.

st. Louis Doctor
Sews Up Mans
Heart. He Lives

EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.-Friends
of DR.. H. H. Weathers disclosed
this week that the surgeon had
successfully accomplished an OPP
Grafton on a human heart. The
surgery, an unusually complicated
operation requiring great dexter
ity and skill, was performed here
Tuesday at st. Mary's hospital.
The patient, Nathaniel Pickett,
%, is reported recovering and
showing rapid progress. He was
brought to the hospital suffering
from stab wounds, including cut
in the right auricle, one of the two
upper heart valves that handle
blood from the veins.
DR.. Weathers cut through the
pericardium sac surrounding the
pulsating heart and made a figure
eight suture. "a figure eight su-
ture is a type of continuous stitch
that covers a large or small terri
tory. Translated to the language
of the layman it means the wound
required three stitches.)
Had not DR.. Weathers immedi-
ately operated, Pickett would have
bled to death in a few minutes, said
his colleagues.
The feat of the local physician
is regarded in medical circles as
something closely approaching a
miracle. In the history of medicine
there have been only a very few
successful operations on the hui
man heart, although many at
tempts have been made.
DR.. Daniel Williams of Chica-
go, who died several years ago,
was the first man to successfully
complete an operation of this kind.
At last reports before the outbreak
of World War 2 in 1889, the pa
tent, then residing in Paris, was
said to be hale and hardy.

Governor Thye
COnferS With
Twin Citians

At the invitation of Governor Ed
ward Thye several members of the
Negro community met with him
last Saturday at the state capital
to get acquainted and discuss some
of the problems of the Negro in
Minnesota.
The governor said he did not
anticipate any race trouble in this
state, but that he wanted to be
prepared if it occurred. He eX-
pressed a deep interest in the
problems which affect the Negro
community.
Members of the group at the
conference engaged in an informal
presentation of some of the prob
lens with which Minnesota Ne
groes are plagued. Among them
were the housing situation and GER
tain other discriminatory practices.
1t was called to the attention of
Governor Thye that no Negroes
have been appointed to draft or
rationing boards.
Present at the conference which
occupied almost two hours was Maj.
Samuel Ransom, Rev. C. T. R. Nell
son, president of the St. Paul MA.
A.C.P., Clarence W. Wigington, of
the St. Paul city architects office,
S. Vincent Owens of the St. Paul
Urban League all of st. Paul and
C. W. Washington of the Mime
apolis Urban League and other Mill
City organizations and Cecil E.

Three persons, Jimmie Jackson,
%, his wife Eva, %, and Willie
Henry Neal, 16, were brought to
Minnesota from Deerfeld, Fla, in
March to work on the farm of C.
H. Ahrens near Hopkins, MINI.
Ahrens also owns farm in Flori-
da. The three were told that they
would have a nice place to live and
would be paid each Saturday al
though they claim Ahrens did not
say how much he would pay them.
The married couple were given
living quarters in a barn in which
tools and a tractor were stored. A
part of the room was partitioned
off for sleeping space for young
Neal. Food was prepared in the
same room.
The Jacksons and the Neal boy
worked from 9 am. to 6 pm. six
days week and sometimes Sun
days.
The tenants claim Ahrens did
not allow them to purchase their
own food but had them make out a.
list. Ahrens never gave them more
than a dollar at a time promising
to pay them in full when his crops
were sold. Mr.. Ahrens kept the
ration books of his three workers.
In accounting for money due the
three, they claim Ahrens deducted
social security taxes farm labor
does not pay security.
An example of what Mr.. Skin
ner of the NAACP says was unfair
was the fact that Ahrens gave the
Jacksons an accounting for April.
The three had worked 100 hours
at 80 cents per hour earning a to-
tai of $3.50. After deduction Of
$25.92 for groceries, the net earn
ing was $5.7s.
According to the Jackson's state
ment after two months of similar
accounting, Mr.. Ahrens' figures
showed the three people owed him
$24.34 which they claimed he said
was for social security tax.
The Jacksons left the farm late
in June. Whereabouts of Neal are
unknown.

of the Minneapolis Civilian De-

six consumer centers now in OPP
Grafton will very likely be in
creased to 10, due to the interest
shown by those being served by
the centers.
Plans for training centers were
discussed where remodeling of old
clothes, construction of children's
clothes and home repairs will be
taught. There is a great demand
for such assistance plus the aid

service to consumers.

Lillian SchOfeld
RepOrts1nteresting
School Experiences

Lillian Schofeld, who has fig.
ured in Minneapolis Youth activi.
ties during the past few years, haG
some interesting experiences at the
sixth annual Institute of the School
for Workers at the University OF
Wisconsin held for four weeks be-
ginning June 10.
At the Institute, attended by
workers-the majority Southern.
ers-in industries from all over the
United States attended the classes
taught by well informed and com.
petent authorities on labor prob.
lens, labor legislation, current
events public speaking, parlia.
mentary law, union organization
and collective bargaining.
After the seating in one of the
classes had been arranged in al
phabetical order, one white South
ern lad refused to be seated next to
a Negro, and stood in the back of
the room. When informed thatsthe
seating arrangement must apply to
all in the class, he refused to take
his place and left the class.
Other white Southerners in large
numbers came to Negro classmates
including Miss Schofeld, at the
end of the session and expressed
their pleasure for the opportunity
of attending the classes together.
Many said this had been their first
contact of this nature with Negroes
and they had found it enjoyable
and educational.
Guest speakers were: Dean
Faulkner of Fisk University; En-
est Green from Great Britain; DR..
Pearlman, University of Wiscon-
sin; julius Hickman and Meyer
Perlstien, vice president of the In
ternational Ladies Garment Work
ers Union.
A summary of the Institute was:
Labor has a tremendously big job
to do and that is to educate the
general public as well as its own
members of the fact that human
progress cannot be based on the
strength of a few individuals but
must depend on the concerted, I'M
selfish and intelligent actions of
all people, races and nations.
Miss Schofield was sent to the
Institute by the Minneapolis Schol-
arship Committee of which Erma
Clardy and C. W. Washington are
members. After two weeks, the
length of the Minneapolis scholar
ship, Miss Schofield was granted
another two week scholarship by
the school there.

the poll takers exercise vast control
