CRUSKAY FAvORS
OPEN CAUCUSES
Make Up Lists of Delegates
Would Aid COlOred Race
Says Attorney

The problems of the colored peo-
Pile and how they can be solved
were discussed by Secretary of
State Frances Redick at the party
sponsored by the Young Colored
Republican Club on the lawn of
Mrs. J. C: Carrethers, 1872 Plat
street, yesterday afternoon.
While praising the work of the
Colored Republican Clubs, she urged
the organizations of the white race
to aid and sympathize with their
problems.
A discussion period followed in
which Mrs. Redick and Attorney
Maurice Gruskay participated. Mr..
Gruskay contended that in addition
to the suggestions of Mrs. Redick
that the colored and white people
meet more often that the large Sec
tons of colored voters in Water
bury be granted an equality of OPP
portunity by the party leaders in
the make up of states of delegates
to the various conventions, not
merely by condecension but in
compliance with the laws of this
state. He insisted that only by call
ing open caucuses in the various
districts, can the colored voter be
given and not be denied his right to
participate in the conduct of his
party's affairs. He states that the
large colored population here have
no representation on the Town
Committee nor is there one colored
district leader allowed them in their
own voting districts. That he is eX-
tremely unfair and prejudicial to
these voters and places them in the

If you know you're coming to
the British Isles-or if you want
to send a small gift of less than
eight ounces to anyone here, the
check list below will be invaluable.
Even if you're not sure where you're
going, use this list. Most of the
things they're short of here are sea
in other theaters you may land in.
These suggestions are the result
of interviews with scores of SOL
diers and of no little sad per-
sonal experience.

In general. you can get in
England most of the clotehs, uni

and toilet articles that you want.
Exceptions are noted below. Soap
is a special case, because it is the
one item most universally brought
here by newcomers. The soap sit
uation is simply this: Soap is ra-
toned in Britain However, SOL
dier can get all the soap he needs
at an Army PIX. The PIX soon
will be out of American soap. Brit

to American, is adequate. So if

Love Enemies After
War Urges Walker
Second Congregational Pastor Hopes Peace Founda-
tons Will Be Well Laid So Survival Can Be Expected

I suspect that the dominant
motion in the world these last five
ears has been fear stated Rev. Dr.
John c. Walker, Second Congrega-
lonal Church pastor, yesterday
morning in his sermon entitled,
Order and Disorder in the Human
Heart
DR.. Walker said in part: But now
American boys, our boys, are fight
ing almost literally all over the
world. Our airmen are ranging the
heavens over every continent and
above the seven seas. The tidingS
that come afar are concerned,
oot merely with what is happening
10 people of other nations, but what
IS happening to us, to American
boys who we're growing up in our
homes, on our streets, but yesterday
but now are battling on the other
side of the world. Not the least signi-
dcant of the four freedoms is the
freedom from fear. One of the prim-
airy reasons why certain nations at
least are in this war is because they
could no longer endure to live in
constant fear of their neighbors.
This fear which has been abroad
in the world has engulfed great ma
lions as we'll as weaker ones, strong
men as well as towards and time
servers because the bludgeons OF
fate fell upon the innocent as well
as the guilty and because the non
combatants suffered heavier blows
than the men in uniform. At times
it must have seemed to many as II
all hope were lost and the enc OF
decent, civilized life were at hand.
A great many people would Jeer,
no doubt, if you insisted that we
must love our enemies. Yet there IL
stands in the New Testament and
while it is possible to repeal or
abrogate many laws for the dura-
ton, there is nothing you can do
about the divine laws. AS matter
of fact we have very strange,
very wonderful example in Amerl-
can history that bears on this polnt.
We had a president once upon
time who fought great war, fought
it stubbornly and successfully, ana
vet continued all the time to love
the men who persisted in calling
themselves his enemies. His name,
of course, was Abraham Lincoln.
Lincoln had his faults but we do
not seem to have any proof what
soever that he ever hated anybody.
He loved men, whether they were

AIDES AT CENTER
TO BE ANNOUNCED

The names of the three super
visors who are to assist Miss
Pauline Moor with her duties at the
child welfare center at the former
Kingsbury home which opens Mon
day. August 2, will be divulged by
School Superintendent Thomas j.
Condor at the meeting of the board
of education on the evening OF the

His reason: with all due respect,
he declared, the board should be
informed of the appointments be-
fore the public learns about them.
However, he did add that the three
were to be kindergarten teachers IN
the public schools-because they
know how to handle" young chill

from the North or South, whether
they were bond of free. A very
strange, very wonderful man, this
Lincoln of ours!
When this war is over we must
certainly cultivate the love of our
enemies by acting as men of good
will. 1 do not believe that this
means condoning aggression, let
ting the aggressors escape punish
ment for their crimes, but it does
mean that If we are to win the
peace we shall have to curb the
spirit of revenge. Cynicism, bitter
ness, revenge will SOW the seed of
future conflicts. Good will is the
only intelligent approach to peace.
Unless the foundations of peace are
we'll and truly laid, unless we are
fair, honest and we'll meaning, our
peace will not deserve to survive nor
can it be expected to survive.

position, of voicelesS minority
whose privileges are being denied
them. He further claimed that due
to the failure of the Town Chair
man to comply with the law con-
corning open district caucuses. the
white leaders of the district fail to
sponsor colored delegates to the
conventions, and put the colored
voters in a position where they
must put up money before they can
even present a ticket suitable to and
representative of their voters in
their districts. That procedure he
claims is entirely contrary to law,
and makes at the same time for a
feeling of inferiority politically as
well as socially in the colored peo-
pie and voters of this city.
