LOOK OUT FOR CHILDREN

James S. Kemper nationally known safety leader and
president of the Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company,
says that records show increasing number of young
children killed and injured in motor vehicle accidents
"The coming of weather and the closing of
schools create serious problem for thinking parents and
motorists, he declared Children will be spending much
time at outdoor play In good many homes both
parents are engaged work. which results in children
being their during large part of their waking

their best interests. The race
voting strength in seventeen or
more states with two hundred
and eighty-one or more votes
in the electoral college gives our
race the decided advantage in
any national election for casting
the balance of power. We think
1t another advantage that we
can no longer be designated as
one party race. We insist upon
the right to vote in every state,
and advise our people to per-
sistently and cautiously continue
the. urge, and effort to regain
their citizenship rights through
out America. Any National Ad-
miniStration that would have the
full confidence Of our race would
know that a prime factor in it
will be to pass an anti-lynching
bill. No party or candidate can
deserve the vote of the Negro
that side-stepS on injustices such
as segregation, discrimination in
the armed forces, a radically re-
viSed naval program which will
include the acceptance Of Ne
groes as commissioned officers,
and in the technical service of
sea-going vessels the gradual
but continuous removal of troops
from areas where they are treat
ed with violence, permitting the
Negro to serve in combat forces
as well as in work units. We
should be wise to discover all
candidates and help defeat them
who lead America towards i'm
perialism and write world super
iority.
PROBLEMS OF YOUTH
Mans problem is that of
steering youth into our post war
world. For instance, after CIV
ing youth ideals, knowledge and
skill, industry must provide en-
ployment. The present trend, as
discovered to us in the American
Youth Commission literature, is
toward the unemployment of
youth. The National Youth Ad-
ministration sought to take up
the slack in this area, The war
too kthat. When it ceases, there
will come the task of finding
employment of civilian and SOL
der adults. But what will we
do with the high school youth,
and those who drop out at the
late grades and freshmen high
school level, i.e., at ages IA, 16
and 10, the key ages in child
labor regulation. Many of the
employers do not give employ
mems to youth under Is. This
contributes to the high rates of
unemployment of youth. In
1885, over four million Of this
class of youth were out of school
and unemployed. 1t seems that
for some years before the war,
from 100000 to 100000 youth
were oncoming annually from

PAUL robson AND
DR.. E. STANLEY JONES
The two top features in pub
lie inspirational meeting at Cass
High School Saturday night, May
6, where a great audience was
assembled were DR.. E. Stanley
Jones, world famous evangelist
and missionary who pointed out
that there is no hope for a peace
full society until race prejudice
has been conquered and Paul
Robson, who sang for the con-
ference before 1000 people and
made an address. He called up
on colored everywhere to make a
united fight for freedom of the
race while they fight for world
freedom. Mr.. Robson was idol
lied by the crowd and Mr.. K.
Stanley Jones sent leaders home
resolved to do likewise in the
name Of Jesus and the Church.
The conference showed that
more than six million dollars had
been raised in the church dur
ing the quadrenniurn with many
debts paid and schools enlarged.
Among the institutions that had
been blessed by this increase
were Livingstone College at Sal
iSbury, N. c., where the J. C..
Price Memorial Building was
completed and the publ shing
house at Charlotte, N. c., which
has been liquidated of mortgage
Indebtedness. Great gains were
made in membership and evan
gelism.
One of the painful phases of
our situation is the persistent
effort to Segregate men Of color
around the world where certain
American strains have filtered.
We advise the American pill
tical parties that the Negro does
not ask favor nor will he submit
to differentiation and injustice.
We strongly insist that the F. E.
P. c. which has done a notable
work in balancing industry with
justice for race minorites, be
continued. In that form some
inter-racial augmentation of
government for fair practices
should be set up for post war ad-
iuStment and continued in peace
time.
To the degree that our present
National administration has
tried to do justice we are CRATE
full. Those elements in the ad-
ministration who insist on drag
ging our race into the quagmire
of election propaganda and who
seek to paint our honest citizen
ship as inferior and below the
common merit we deprecate and
condemn.
We appreciate the act Of the
President in sending Bishop John
Gregg of the colored Fraternal
Council of Churches to visit our
soldiers on the fronts through
out the war zones. We SurmiSe
that the Bishops message will
bring enlightenment to the home
front, as it has taken religions

the race to beware Of party
badges and vote intelligently for

FOUR BISHOPS ELECTED
The conference elected to the
Bishopric four men, each a uni
que type in his own right. Bishop

qualities. He was elected from
the financial Secretaryship and

HOME MISSIONS

measures to promote home and
