here November Is by the Time
paper edited by Virginius Dial
In it's leading editorial, {
tion," Mr.. Dabney declares:
'The time has come to do some
thing about the well-nigh intoler-
able interracial friction on the
streetcars and buses of the state.
This friction stems largely from the
laws which compel the segregation
of white and colored passengers.
E. Repeal of the State law which
requires segregation of the races on
streetcars and buses, and of local
ordinances which embody the same
requirement, would solve the diff
Guilty. In Richmond, there is no
ordinance which Council would have
to repeal, but the General Assembly
would have to repeal Section 1918
of the Virginia Code, covering
streetcars, and Section 4097z, cover
ing buses"
The editorial makes the point
that under present conditions, with
all transport vehicles crowded, these
segregation laws not only fail to
keep the races apart, but actually
increase friction and irritation. Mr..
Dabney declares:
"Actually, under existing condi-
tons, they have the opposite effect,
and they are a constant irritant.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of times
day, these regulations serve to
throw the races into closer contact
than ever, and at the same time to
wound the feelings of the Negroes.
"The laws result in closer, inter-
racial contact than would otherwise
be the case because whereas white
and colored passengers usually sit
in separate seats, the invariably
crowded condition in the aisles of
streetcars and buses at rush hours
throws the races together as never
before. Colored passengers who get
on crowded cars or buses have to
push their way to the rear through
dense mass of white people, and
in the case of one-man cars they
must force their way back to the
front again. 1t would be preferable
if the Negroes were allowed to
stand or sit in the car or bus wher-
ever they could find room, thus
avoiding the push through the
packed aisles.
cit is this push which causes most
of the trouble"
Finally, the Times-Dispatch edi-
torial makes the point that of late
years segregation is not strictly en-
forced on railway trains and cross
country buses, saying:
segregation of the races on rail-
way trains and cross-country bus
lines has been abandoned to a con-
siderable degree, both in Virginia
and other Southern States, and it
seems definitely on the way out.
We have heard of no unfortunate
results. Why, then, should not the
segregation laws for cross-town
trolleys and buses be eliminated?
The fact is that they should be, and
without delay"
1t is believed that this editorial is
an historic pronouncement, since it
is the first time in the modern South
that an influential daily paper has
demanded the repeal of any type of
segregation law.
Discussion of the editorial in the
letter column of the Times-Dispatch
got off to a lively start Tuesday,
November 16, when, out of five let
tiers published, four favored repeal
of the jim-crow laws. The reaction
of Virginians to Editor Dabney's
editorial will be watched with keen
interest by Negroes and white peo-
pie throughout the nation.

That About This Stuff Dad?

cupboard in the country. Why, there's
enough in this one pile alone to make
mincemeat out of a dozen Zeros and
couple of subs to boot!
I know you're swamped, Dad, with no help
and working every acre of the farm this
year, but if you'd been where I've been
and knew how badly this scrap is needed,
you'd find some way to get it to town.
Doit pronto, Dad, before harvesting comes
along, or bad weather sets in. Better yet,
let's load this stuff today, Dad, and I'll
drive it to town for you. We can sell it to
the junk man, or donate it to the U.S.O.,
Red Cross, or one of the other organiza-
tons enlisted in the second scrap roundup.
My furlough's nearly up, Dad. Next
week I'll be shipping out again. some
where. Wherever it is I'll feel lot better
if know part of my own backyard is
following me across, backing me up with
ammunition from this old scrap.

Askov American., 1943-06-10

Don't get me wrong, Dad. Getting home
for spell and finding things pretty much
the way left them is the greatest sight in
the world. I've been in some strange places
in the last year, but as far as I'm concerned
there isn't spot in the whole South Pacific
that can hold candle to the patch of Gods
green earth I'm standing on right now.
There's just one thing I didn't expect to
see, Dad. It's this old scrap pile. Back IN
New Guinea when new ack-ack gun or
field piece rolled into position used to
think, Maybe Mas old cast iron laundry
stove is in that baby. Or my old music
stand-the one you tossed out when you
saw I wasn't cut out to be the worlds
greatest violinist
Up town they tell me the Government has
sent out another SOS. for more scrap.
They say it's going to take every stray
pound of scrap metal to fill the quota, and
that's going to mean looking for it in every
