very nice!" He smiled politely, but

COMPETITION OR COOPERATION?
kv Ruth IaYlOr

Competition or cooperation? Which shall it be?
keouced to it's denominator that is the ques
ton before the world today. 1t is the dominant theme OF
Far competition healthy both for individuals and
ations-but must be amlcable rivalry with tne loser
leauy accept defeat gracefully and the winner hooe
out friendship The danger lies when competition
becomes too keen and degeneraes into street fight with
no holds barred National competition too easily be-
destructive warfare.
Cooperation is the safe and way. Had Germany,
for example, spent small proportion OF what her war OF
aggression her building up her peace time industries
and in extending trade she could have prospered far
beyond her widest dreams of conquest
Had Italy devoted herself to peaceful colonization she
billions of any Caesabut she chose to spend her money
in the parade trappings of Had Japan played fair
treatment of China the Japanese would not now
be among the moral eutcasts of the nations.
All that needed that they cooperate-not
indulge in undertaking. land grabbing theft murder and
all the other gangster methods of cutthroa competition
Tt is easy to condemn this action the part of a
natonbut to be practical must bring it down to our
lives. Do cooperate compete? Are working
with neigbors do try to get ahead OF them by
shrewd sometimes unscrupuous methods? Do want
advantages for ourselves alone for all people? Do
give honest dollars worth of work for every dollar
ceived?
We need to work for living, not for boss. We need
to think of work in terms of what it Wllaccompsh,
not as so many hours taken lives. We need to
cooperate In that way only accomplish results.
Cooperation is joint action 1t that all will
have freely and intelgenty together like
chine where each part has it's particular function to fu
f but also like machine that is built correctly that
each part is capable of taking it's share of the stress
and strain We all workers. Let work therefore
cooperation-not in competition.

change days off or to work at
night, replies that she can't be-
cause of another engagement.
When the employer seeks fuller
details the woman confesses that

is, her answer is supposed to be
It's a club of young colored
women who spend their afternoons
off jostling white passengers in
crowded street cars, trying on
dresses they have no intention of
buying, or cluttering up cosmetic
counters and annoying saleswomen
behind them"
The August 26 Cincinnati En-
quirer charges the Coughlinite
Mothers of Sons Forum with hav-
ing circulated such a rumor at
its August 10 meeting. Other rum
ors, reports the Enquirer, have
come to US from rumor wardens
as widely separated as Mount
Washington and Saylor PARK.
Whatever the version, the rumor
is a fake"
When a special police detail sta
toned in the downtown area by
Chief of Police Eugene Weatherly
reported that there was not one
bit more pushing or showing by
Negroes than whites, If as much,
Weatherly terminated the assign
ment.
Discussing the police report and
the report of the NAACP COM
mittee who spent several weeks
running down numerous leads,
Theodore M. Berry, president of
the NAACP branch, pointed out
that similar rumors are being cir
culated in New York, Chicago and
other cities with large Negro
population.
Berry said: I'VE have inter-
viewed several white citizens who
were reported to have information
or to have known colored persons
belonging to the so-called push
ing clubs. Contact with organized
Negro groups indicate that push
ing clubs have not been heard Of
among them and no such organi-
cations are in existence"

FATHERS URGED
TO GET ESSENTIAL
LOYMENT, NOW

RALEIGH, Sept. 9-Fathers and
heads of families in North Caro-
lima will have little trouble in
shifting from non-deferrable jobs
to essential employment, if they
so desire, according to DR.. J. s.
Dorton, State director of the War
Manpower Commission.
The War ManpoWer Comission
is working closely with Selective
Service, said DR.. Dorton. Brig.
General ]. Van B. Nets, State
Selective Service officer, has is
sued directives to all local boards
to begin reclassifying in la all
fathers who are not in essen tial
work, or whose services in the
armed forces would not work un-
due hardships on their families.
I'VE have received many in
quiries regarding the essentially
of certain occupations said Dr..
Dorton. Many men who have
families may change over from
non-deferrable jobs on which they
are now employed to essential jobs
to the war effort.
Some persons conclude that es-
sential employment exists only in
those industries producing arma-
ments. This is not true. While
North Carolina has comparatively
few armament producing plants,
there is hardly a town in the State
that does not have available open
ings in essential war jobs. Two
of the States greatest Industries
textiles and lumber-are of prime
Importance to the war effort. I
could name many others, such
as mica, pulpwood manufacturing,
machine shops, transportation,
telephone and telegraph, power
companies, agriculture, including
.dairying, hospitals and schools.
Fathers working in those indus
tries, or taking essential jobs in
these, will be considered as es-
sential and will not be reclassi-
fled to la by Selective Service,
in accordance with the new regu-
lations just issued.
For full information concerning
sSe N tial occupations, persons
should go to the nearest local Of
flee of the United States Employ
ment Service of the War Man
power Commission, the manpow-
er director said. "In addition to
furnishing information on the es-
sentiality of jobs, these. offices
have thousands of job openings in
essential war work. The chances
are that most of the fathers in
North Carolina can secure essen
tial jobs without changing resi-
dences'', said DIR. Dorton.
