moving pictures which show Ne

consequences. While all thinking
people, white and colored, agree
that the "dis heah" and "dat dab"
dialect, and the low, vulgar slap
stick of chattering teeth and roll
ing eyes with which the movies
constantly depict the Negro must
be eliminated, it is also apparent
that the jobs and careers of hun
dreds of Negroes in the movie in
dustry are in jeopardy if the stu
dos once get the idea that Negroes
don't want to be shown as maids
and porters. In such a case, it isn't
hard at all to place white people in
their places.
The strategy in Hollywood would
thus tie in with general program
of getting and holding all the por-
ter, maid, cook and yardboy parts
in the movies, plus adding to our
labor pool such parts that call for
the desired Characterization of the
Negro. This is a matter of bread
and meat, bed to sleep on, and a
house to live in. Impractical the
cries and viewpoints about some
starry-eyed hope for the future
should not be allowed to compete
with actualities. Yet, the actuality
of work in the movies and in the
factories must be handled with
vision and foresight by and through
an organized effort to carry out the
purpose desired.

st. James A. M. E. Church News:
"a Faith Worth Having" was Rev.
B. N. Moore's message Sunday
morning, Aug. 81. Highlights of
the sermon were, Faith worth hav-
ing is one which sustains you all
in joy and in trouble. It gives you
better relationship with your fell
low men.
This is not a blind, but an intel
igent faith built upon belief and
trust with service as its goal.
The meditation for the men in
the armed forces was given by Rev.
Moore. The senior choir, under the
direction of Mrs. Cora Moore, sang
"Infammatus," with Mrs. Moore as
soloist. The flowers that decorated
the church were given by Mr.. and
Mrs. M. R. Burgess and Mrs. Mary
S. Brown, in memory of Mrs.
Browns husband.
Visitors at the church were Mrs.
R. B. Smith, Chicago; and Mrs.
Grace Gwynne, Sacramento, Calf.

ion will be given. The Monogram

Church Notes: "Pentecost-God's

a well prepared and thought pro-

iams, of Detroit, last Sunday morn
ing. DR.. Williams pointed out that
we need the Holy Spirit working
in our lives today and that without
it We are really powerless. He
said that he could never see why
any person who became holy or
sanctified would leave their church
and that the Methodist movement
in its beginning was a holiness
movement.
Visitors included Mrs. Greed

Kansas City, Kansas and Garland

A business session of the second
quarterly conference was conducted
in the evening by DR.. Williams,

InnuendO

Beware! There's power in suggestion,
An innuendo guised as question
Can often soil thing that's pure,
Or make the positive insure.
Watch all who are forever stressing
Your faults, they may be only guessing,
Yet know if you don't call their bluff,
You may in time believe their stuff.
Don't kid yourself you can retract
The things you say that aren't fact,
You're apt to find lie can grow
So fast you can't tell what you know.
Learn to listen without hearing
The jealous boos that drown the cheering,
None's on the beam who goes erratic
Because he can't tune out the static.
You'll find as long as you're alive,
The world is full of hostile 1--WE,
Do things whole, not halves or thirds,
And make your critics eat their words.
Don't complain when thrown for loss,
But come down fighting from your cross,
Meet the brickbats with good mortar,
And make your enemy turn supporter.

Editor: With this Presidential
election being the most important
one since the days of the Civil war,
it is a duty and a privilege for
every true American to register,
and to vote wisely.
This is the most critical period in
history. After this election we will
either go back to the breadlines of
unemployment followed by a more
destructive war, or to the most
prosperous era our generation has
ever seen with peace for many gen.
erations to come.
In this election we must forget
political parties. We must vote for
issues and men. We must know
what we want and how to get it,
then vote for the men who will
give US what we want.
We want employment, the right
to earn an American standard of
living.
The agreements of the Teheran
Conference guarantee that we will
have employment and true free
dom.
We know that Roosevelt is in
favor of these agreements as he
took part in making the plans at
the Teheran Conference.
The principles of the Kilgore-
Truman-Murray bill, the Celler bill
which is now in the House, is the
machinery being set up to carry out
the plans of the Teheran Confer
ence. We know Roosevelt will carry
out such plans for full employment.
We as Negro people know that
Roosevelt has given US an FEPC.
We know that Roosevelt wants
our men and women in the armed
forces to have the right and the OPP
portunity to vote, in this presiden-
tial election.
How about Dewey and his
clique?
We know that so far he is deny
ing the vote to the men and women
in the armed forces.
We know that he is opposed to
the agreements of the Teheran Con-
ference because, first he is OPP
posed to cooperation with the So
Wet Union who is our strongest
ally; second, he is opposed to the
Kilgore- Truman Murray bill which
is the machinery being set up to
carry out the plans of the Teheran
Conference, to give US full employ
ment.
AS far as the Negro people are
concerned we know that Dewey, be-
ing the darling of Hoover, cannot
be in favor of an FEPC.
AS I said, this is the most i'm
portant election since Civil War
days. With Roosevelt reelected we
will see the FEPC bring us the
realities of Lincoln's Emancipation
Proclamation. We will see the liv-
ing standards of the people higher
than ever before, through broad
trade agreements with all countries
of the world. We will see the COL
onial countries such as India and
Africa gain freedom that they
never had in the past.
I urge everyone to register and
to vote.
Yours truly,
