COMBAT

Combat against shiftless, lazy
members of our race must con-
tinue, unabated. Criticism of I'M
tidiness, uncouthness and poor
hygiene must not be relin-
pushed. The attack on the float
ing element of our race, the
flOtsam and jetsam, must be I'M
renting. The assault on the
chip on the shoulder" group
must be intensified. The battle
on loud talk, bOisterOusness and
uncivility must be stepped up.
LOw-grade thinking and swag-
gering, barbaric parading in
public places is not to be tOler-
ated. BOOrishness and lassitude
on the job must be censured
severely. And the waste of mon
ey and the failure to prepare for
Overhanging and impending
emergencies must be constantly
blasted and bombarded. The
criticism must continue, lest we
take backward steps and lose
the gain that we have made. The
issue of our own conduct is still
before us!-JOs. d. Bib.

Month which is the month of Feb
ruary.
As one looks at the history of the
Negro in America, he is struck by
the tragic failure of the Negro to
follow up his gains. In a thousand
instances one can see that it was
the Negro himself who quit the
fight, compromised the issue, aban-
doned his principles, just as he was
on the verge of winning.
We, particularly those of us who
live in the North, should guard our
selves and our communities against
surrender to the forces of Jim Crow
at this time. There will be efforts,
as there have always been, to put
over Jim Crow schools, Jim Crow
hospitals, the Jim Crow institutions
of various kinds under misleading
names and titles. But if the Negro
citizen is so stupid as to accept
them, where he doesn't have to ac-
cept them by law, then he is I'M
worthy of the full stature of citi-
zenship.
Just now we are marching to VIC
tory. We have in our corner the
best minds, the best people and
some of the most powerful groups
in America.
We have Phillip Murray of the
C. l. o. We have Pearl S. Buck and
Lillian Smith and Clare Luce and
Eleanor Roosevelt, and a host of
others who respect the Negro and
who are anxious that he secure his
rights under the Constitution.
Never before in the history of the
Negro in America has he received
such favorable publicity. In a full
page advertisement in all of the
great American dailies, a fine pOr-
trait of the late George Carver was
reproduced as an example of an
outstanding American. Revere
Brass and Copper likewise, in full
page ad in the most influential
magazines, told the story of a COL
Ored employee. In last weeks Life,

ried the lovely features of Lena
Horne and the happy smile of Fats
Waller. Magazines that formerly
carried only stories of the Negro
in an inferior role as a clown or
faithful clOd, are telling the story
of the herOism of the Negro behind
the guns of ships at sea or in the
swamps of the Southwest Pacific.
We have a long way to go. But
there are more colored men and
women working side by side with
the white men and women at semi
skilled and highly skilled occupa-
tons than ever before in history
and they are getting along-join-
ing unions together, playing to-
gether. There are Negro graduate
engineers in deep research, as jeff
Davis with the Bell Aircraft in Buff
falo. There are Negro chemists gaz-
ing into the fascinating world of
the dancing atoms and Negro
physicists delving into the dark
mysteries of electronics. In the
great Sperry Gyroscope Corpora
ton, Negro engineers are doing re-
search where a few months ago a
Negro couldn't wash the windows.
And colored girls by the hundreds,
fashion the delicate instruments of
giant bombers and deadly sky
fighters.
In the meantime, colleges hither-
to closed to Negroes are opening
their doors. SwarthmOre is an ex-
ample and the magnificent Catholic
College for women, at New Ro-
chelle, N. Y. A hundred youth or
CARNATIONS in schools and colleges
are accepting the Negro and plan
ming and working for his complete
Indignation into American life.
We are winning the fight. The
road is long and hard but we are
winning.
In New York qualified colored
teachers are on the faculties of
great universities, City College and
New York University and Hunter.
Colored men are motormen and
guards and dispatchers on the sub
ways as well as change-makers. 1t
is not uncommon either to see them
on the street cars as motormen and
on the buses as chauffeurs.
And behold Richmond, Virginia.
former Capital of the Confederacy,
is about to abolish Jim Crow in
transportation in that city.
This is the clincher. This is con-
elusive evidence that if we keep up
the fight we can win.
For a Negro or a group of
Negroes now to foster a Jim Crow
institution, based on race and color
is incredible. And the Negro COM
munity must rise up and reject it,
no matter what its disguise or pre-
tension. Any other course spells
catastrophe.

FALSE RUMoR sCOTCHED

Once again the absolute and en-
tire unreliability of rumors was re-
vealed last week. On the town
streets, it was the subject of general
conversation that the Oxford Steam
Laundry, which for over forty years
has been serving the community.
was closing its doors, and that the
owner had accepted a position in the
new ship service laundry being es-
tablished at the Naval Training Sta
ton at cambridge.
The only thing true about this
rumor was that Mr. McFadien had
been asked to take charge of the
cambridge laundry. He had stated
that he was unable to consider it
and the Oxford Steam Laundry will
continue doing business as usual.
Several of the employees of the OK
ford Plant have taken positions

post, but their places have been

Chapter S67, Acts Of 1941, pro-
vides that every person purchas-
ing q hunters license during the
year 1912 shall report to the
Game and Inland Fish Commission,
Baltimore, Maryland, on the form
which was attached to the hunters
license, CT on a substitute form,
reporting the number of game
birds and game animals or fur
bearing animals killed by said
hunter.
During the 1941 hunting season
the hunters cooperated with this
Commission very well indeed by
forwarding their game-kill re-
ports. It is most essential at this
time that we have these reports
and if hunter has lost the card
which was attached to his license,
then we will appreciate him writing
us a postal card or letter giving
his license number, stating whether
it was q county-resident or state
wide license, and reporting the
various species of game killed. If
he did not kill any game, also re-
mort "no kill for the season." The
cooperation of the sportsmen and
hunters of this State viii be highly
appreciated by us at this time.
The Game Commissioners Of the
United States have been trying TO

induce the War Production Board
to allow the arms and ammunition
manufacturers to make gun shells
for sale during the hunting season
of 1943 and every Game Commits
sioner in each State was requested
to report to the War Production
Board the amount of game killed
by the hunters in his State during
1941. It was most fortunate that
this Commission was in a position
to furnish the figures for Maryland
and when the figures were present
ed to the W.P.B. they were as
founded at the enormous tonnage
of game killed in the various
States, which naturally relieved the
drain on the food supply to the
amount of poundage of game birds
and game animals killed. We hope
the W. P. B. viii grant the hunters
and sportsmen's appeal so they
may be in a position to purchase
gun shells for the hunting season
of 1943.
Therefore, it is very necessary
that we receive reports of game
killed or of non-kill from the,
hunters so we might be in posi-
ton to answer questions pro-
pounded by the Federal Govern
ment.
