Talks And Picnic
Mark Meeting OF
County Council

A varied program including
talks, a business session and a
picnic lunch marked the meet
ing of the jackson Home Dem
onstration Council at Old Span
ish Fort.
"A. p. MAY, director of the USO
gave a talk on Natural Resour-
ces of the World-Their Distri-
button and Janis Petersen of
the Granly All Club discussed
New Horizons for All Clubs of
Jackson County" on which sub
ject she had written a prize
paper.
Mr.. May pointed out in his
talk that the present war is a wal
of economics and that in order
to win the war and a lasting
peace all nations must have an
equitable share of the worlds
resources. He pointed out that
some of the larger and more pow
erful nations, such as the United
States, would not be able to hold
more than a fair share of the
worlds resources and live peace
ably and hold the good will Of
all nations.
Following the picnic lunch
served at noon, a business session
was held at which time an
nouncement was made of a All
Club fair to be held in October.
Janis Petersen, in her talk TAX
en- from the paper awarded S.
by the council as the best paper
on the given subject, pointed out
the need for more food produc-
ton in this area of the state and
added that by closer cooperation
between the All clubs and the
town civic clubs the agricultural
program for jackson county can
be strengthened.
Miss Jewel Garland, rural wo-
mems organization specialist, di-
reeted an instruction period on
dramatics for the rural communi-
ty, urging that dramatics be used
as a method of group entertain
money. AT the close of the pc
ment as well as a means to make
Rod brief skits we're presented.

as down the years. Paris fash
ions, such as high heel shoes and
abbreviated dresses rouge, etc,
are still being manufactured, sold
and used. When the Germans
entered Paris. some of the style
makers, it appears, fled the coun-
try, taking their ideas for Wom-

There was punishment to the
people away back in Isaiah's time

rule as to how women should

summer time. Such a patrol
could soon bring the situation

when trash cans are placed along
the beach for the convenience of

IT'S @. X. TO HELP WIN THE WAR
BUT, WHAT ABOUT WINNING PEACE?

With three years of actual warfare still listen
ing to the pleas Of agencies to help win the war; Drive

Bonds" Keep down initiation. Don't talk loose, and
many slogans that will help to bring speedy end
to the war But time have heard agency men
ton the most Important thing that is staring us in the
face and helping enemies to proong this devastation OF
bloodshed and that is the lack of closer understanding
and harmony between the people Of America
The Negro has been the target Of abuse humiliation,
discrimination and prejudice since his advent to this
country The pnominy OF the thing is country boasts
to the outside world of being democracy Onethird of
this country has law supporting racial abuse which is
contrary to her national laws. Yet America has armed
its "czens to bring to the world something onetenth Of
her inhabitants know nothing about This important fac
tor seems he too insignificant to correct but, to
way of thinking it has to be corrected before we dream
of ever having peace
As much as we detest the word tolerance" we see
now where it can be used advantage Since the white
man in America has taken the word "bacl to be despic

ready to employ tolerance and feel that when our
agencies realize that toeranc of the must be
used in America first to bring about everlasting peace
we'll be getting somewhere
The Negro has learned well the white that

darker race Yet those countries are in accord with
the reacheros Japanese they may not altogether agree
with the treatment accorded the black by the whites in
our country which propaganda is very strong weapon
