groes. They may do something, but
whatever they do will be just a drop
in the bucket.
What then can we do? Well, we
can plan the mass rehabilitation Of
certain Negro areas in our large
cities, the wholesale renovation of
tenements and dwellings, now in bad
repair. We can attempt to integrate
such a plan in the general post
war planning of the city, state and
federal governments, the various
chambers of commerce and other
postwar planning organizations.
"But," says my pessimistic
friend, "supposing they just give US
the run around, supposing they
greet US with md1H ference I"
"Well," my answer is, Eve must
overcome their indifference. We
must present a specific plan for a
specific area. We must be familiar
with the essentials, the assessed
valuation, the cost of renovation,
the probable rental income deriving
therefrom, the possible rate of
amortizing the mortgage, the in
creased profits. We must be able
to talk with bankers and landlords
in the language they understand,

or of social work"

St. James A. M. E Church: Our
congregation was indeed in a re-
ceptive mood at the II a. m. service,
October 10. Seemingly a fame Of
reverence was being rekindled. A
sign of spiritual awakening pre-
vailed. Rev. B. N. Moore, with pas
sionate earnestness, declared in his
message "He who humbles himself
and sinks by true humility, God has
sworn to lift on high to heal the
throbbing heart. We must first
discern the wounds within" His
text, 1.-THE Chief Sinner" was taken
from Timothy 1:15.
Reawakened by scriptural proph-
ecy and truths, many came forward
and knelt around the chancel, three
deep, reconsecrating themselves to
the service of God, Church and
State. A special prayer of conse-

The high browed Autumn merely Fall,
Rich folk alone grow melancholc,
While we had festivals and frolics
October brought back to the scene,
The foot and the bean-whole-bean,
We gave our heed summer fed
To gatherings and cracking bread.

Foul weather never had grounded,
We seldom went far in hurry,
We couldn't take the horse and surrey
We measure all our rooms today,
Demand mere oil from o. P. A.

Reveed round the old base-burners?
IT'S best for sight and far pleasant,
To read beneath the light duorescent,
The oil lamps now belong to yokes,
And yet slckers bi-focals.
Today all have lofty hairlines,
Ride the fast trains and the airlines,
But teardrops when summers rolled,
We love autumns, but dream of old!

American manhood whose well be-
ing must be preserved now and in
the future.
For nineteen years, according to
a signed statement carried at the
top of the advertising page, Will
liam Hayes has worked in the Re-
we're plant. Of him and his fellow
workers the Revere Corporation
says: "Many of the workers at the
Revere plants are Negroes. Will
liam Hayes is representative of
their high standard of endeavor,
their whole-hearted interest in win
ming the war"
This tribute, in the form of a
paid advertisement, to the Negro
workers of one of Americas great
corporations by its management is
a fine and inspiring act. 1t will
serve to direct attention to the
service which thousands of Negroes
are rendering without fanfare to
their country. 1t will enlighten vast
numbers of people whose ignorance
of the Negro and his aspirations
contributes no little to racial mis-
understanding.
On farms and in plants, in res
taurants, hotels, on sleeping and
dining cars, in railroad yards and
freight houses there are millions
of American men and women Of
the same hue as William Hayes.
They have the same ambition, the
same love of country, the same
steadfastness on the job.
America as a whole doesn't know
much about them. Their names are
never on police blotters and so they
seldom appear in print. They are
not boisterous. Nor are they con-
spicuous either in dress or de-
meanor. They suffer the hurts of
discrimination in silence and they
smother Illustration in new and
greater hope. One thing they never
lose and that is their faith in Amer
lea and it's ultimate justice. Nothing
can destroy that faith, for they are
truly of America, a part of its
warp and wool, their roots deep in
the rich soil of it's past, their
dreams a part of Americas vision
of the future.
If at times they seem impatient
because life for them is not as full
as it might be because of the mar
row viewpoint of little minds, it is
because they are eager to give as
well as to receive, to give all of
which they are capable to their
families, their homes and their
country. All Americans are i'm
patient of delay, of circumvention,
of wasted time and motion. And in
this respect they are not unlike
their fellow citizens.
The cost of racial prejudice and
dis ri m i n t on is irretriev-
able waste. Waste of money and
waste of men and women and waste
of precious spiritual values that
can i'll afford to be wasted.
It is our conviction that the real
America wants men and women
like William Hayes, wants their
productive power in it's industrial
plants and on its railroads, and on
its farms, wants their loyalty and
quiet courage in it's army and navy
and air corps, wants their ambition
too to help build a greater, richer
nation, wants their faith that this
Democracy shall not fail the prom
Use of it's founders.
William Hayes, who has worked
steadily for nineteen years and out
of his earnings purchased a farm
which he works during his spare
time, has given an expression to an
outlook on life that would be we'll
for all Americans to consider. 81
