OF THE WEEK

The majority of white and
colored folk poor folk without
money or property-would get
along amicably and without fric-
ton if it were not for the few who,
since the 18th Century, have had
an economic interest in perpetual
ing the color line. In order to
justify their sin, they have invented
the myth of race and used all the
powerful propaganda forces at
their command to make the masses
share belief in the myth of white
superiority and feel that they
possess some advantage in its per-
petuation. The few understand but
will not change. The many do not
understand and because of that
they will not change.-George S.
Schuyler.

wearing the ribbon of the Tunisian

There were three white soldiers
sitting opposite me and when they
saw there was no seat for the col
ored veteran, one of them got up
and offered him his seat. What fol-
lowed was something like this:
"He can't sit there" said the
bus driver.
, "What do you mean, he can't
sit there ?" asked the white soldier.
"He has to sit in the rear"
"There aren't any Seats"
"Well, he can't sit there"
"How about it, fellows" asked
the Soldler, turning TO MS buddleS,
"does he sit ?"
"He SITS" they replied.
"He's got to go to the rear" in

Measuring the Temple" was the
subject delivered to a large and en-

morning by DR.. Isaac Fisher who
mentioned four specific cases in
which profits of God were told to
measure the Temple of Jerusalem
or to measure Jerusalem itself-it
being the spiritual Capitol of the
Temple.
"What are the dimensions of the
Christian Temple and Church ?"
asked the speaker who as a friend
of Pilgrim said he could make a
few suggestions to help the con-
gregation help the new pastor when
he arrives.
The speaker said, "Rise and
measure the church-it should give
the background of good citizenship
teach respect for authority as Jesus
taught it to his disciples and regard
for the Cardinal virtues such as
honesty, temperance, faithfulness,
clean living, respect for human life,
mercy and tolerance. See if the
church is the fountain of humane
ness in its care of the children, for
the sick and the aged, for the de-
fective and the poor" DR.. Fisher
said, "See if your church provides
guidance for a race, laboring under
handicap. See if it has definite
messages for our people-self con-
troll for excessive freedom, temper
ance for drunkenness, unselfshness
for selfshness, gentle behavior for
rowdiness, law abiding traits for
lawlessness, encouragement when
oppositions and wrongs are met"

Dear Editor.
My family and send hearty con-
gratulations upon the tenth ami
versary celebration of the Spokes-

To US, as former Minneapolitans,
we can tell you sincerely that the
Spokesman that comes to us each
week is really "The Tie That
Binds" After reading it we are
made to feel that we are still very
close to our many Twin City
friends and associates who con-
tributed so much to our happiness
during our residence there, and who
were so kind to US on the eve of
our departure. To them we send
greetings and deepest gratitude.
Best wishes for many more years
of prosperity and service.
Sincerely yours,

work stoppage at the Homer Laugh

In affirming the decision of the
Board of Review, the examiner held
that the claimants unemployment on

a lockout, and reversed the deputy,
and, i'm his final decision allowed par
tial unemployment benefits to claimant
from August 9th to August 10th, 1943.
The dispute was brought about when
the company elevated trackman to
