HAVE YOU COT A CHIP ON YOUR sHoULDER7


Have you got a chip on YOUR shoulder on racial
matters2 Are YOU Of those who always ready
10 take offense where none is intended?
Do you belong to that troublesome minority of col
ored people that ilwil the part of every
white person it meets?
Do you turn with a snarl or an epithet when some
white person ACCIDENTALLY iostles you in a crowded
ear bus?
Do you try to read something SINISTER into every
statement expression made by white person that
touches upon the racial problem?
Do you color discrimination in EVERY move and
act upon it without investigation?
If you do THESE things you going around with
chip on your shoulder and contributing great deal

ONE-SIDED proposition
There is increasing number of colored people who
also have racial prejudice and HYPERSENSITIVE

everything they see.
This is true of young and old and especially
among the young
This sort of conduct is to be seen DAILY in public
places and conveyances.
Some adults who certainly SHOULD know better
set bad example for the young word and action
They are SLOW to conceal their suspicion and -wi
and by that much they aid in strengthening prejudice
the other side.
Groups of people judged by the actions of ind-
viduals of those groups, for better or worse
COOklEo1, modesty and urbanlty practiced by col
ored people in their relations with white people pay
dividends in tolerant attitude toward ALL col
ored people,
On the other hand, it is DIFFICULT if not mpos-
sible for white people to be tolerant if few coored
individuals go around making themselves obnoxious to
the general public by hoodlumism violence and foul
language which all decent people resent
Colored people are EAGER to have white people re-
gard them INDIVIDUALS and not lump them together
members of a so-called race
Because this is important, coored people should
make an extra effort to conduct themselves DECENTLY
and mteligently, especially when and where there
provocaton to act in contrary manner.
The TEST of courtesy is when everything is going
smoothly, but when the contrary is the case.
1t IS no solution of the problem to say that only
FEW colored people act boorshy toward white people,
and that the race" should be- judged by these few
1t is the duty of the MAJORITY of self-respecting
Well-mannered colored people to restrain the little
norlty OF hoodum and l-bred folk that are undermin

Of course, it is true that the white people have THEIR
minority of trouble Makers and that the actions of some
coored people are in response to such Negrophobc be-

director. This group composed

very Economically run by an
executive board elected from
among the group members. Mem
bership is open to any person of
any age interested in singing and

It is hoped that musical feats
on this order will help to strike
happy medium between the
races and at the same time teach
them to appreciate the beauty of
spiritual music.
Music is a great force in the
lives, struggles and development
of peoples - it helps us to rise
above the human pettiness, and
understand the purpose OF true
democracy.
One of the best known spirit
uals is "Swing Low Sweet Char
lot" An interesting story is told
by Bishop Frederick Fisher of
Calcutta, India. While he was
visiting Central Africa the words
and music of which sounded like
those of above named song came
from an old story about tribe
that lived near the great Victoria
Falls. This tribe had a custom
of placing their dying CHIEF in Il
canoe. They dressed him in his
ceremonial clothing and gave him
food for "a long journey.
The canoe was then set afloa
and headed towards the great
falls. 1t was then the chief arose
in the canoe just as it reached
the edge of the falls. At the
same time huge chariot appear

up into the sky. TINS incident is
supposed to have given rise to the
song.

the plantations. Later they were
sung by the church choirs and
choral groups. In recent years
many people have come to realize
their beauty.

An interesting bit of news has
reached this office from the tell

dent, received the highest vote
cast for any one person; but Rev.
Glow of Portland missed the vice
presidency also by just one vote

Alexander Edwards reported
last week of sign in a tavern
at White Center definitely dis
eliminating against Negroes. He
has lived in Seattle for over 22
years and this is his first expe-
rience with such rank violation
of our state laws. Mr.. Edwards
was so Inundated and angered,
however, that he could neither
give us the name of the tavern
nor its location. He did have the
presence of mind to leave a sub
stantial contribution in the office
to help prosecute the case. The
Seattle office will appreciate
hearing from members or friends
who have seen this sign and can
give us the name and location of
the tavern.
Our office is badly in need of
a standard typewriter. Any mem
Der or friend willing to loan q
typewriter to us will be assured
of its good care until such time
as we are able to purchase one.
The typewriter now in use at the
office is a portable and not quite
adequate for the use required OF
it.
