months backed their children in

attention to the SeVenmilc
round-trip walk required Of
the children daily.
twenty-five families (some
with no children Of school age)
banded together and bought
shares in the club at S28 each,
and purchased the bus for $685..
They hired Jack Brymer, Fraser
gas station operator to make
three trips daily at a total pay
of S2.75 daily. They obtained
all the needed gasoline from~of-
fetal sources.
Monlay night, under the tenn.
porary craftsmanship of Rudy
Dollar, one Of their subdivision
residents, shareholders met to
elect officers; draw up incorpor-
alton papers and lay out the fin
anCial structure for mainten-
ance and upkeep of the bus, to be
provided by fares charged school

voters whose children live near
by the large brick school on
Utica road at Moravian drive,
have out-voted the Heath Manor
residents on the matter Of pur-
chasing a bus. They even voted
twice against the plan after thu
state had offered TO pay large
share Of the cost, under certain
provisions.
A school strike with piCketing
produced only bitterness, and
parents who later kept their
children home for a Today pc
Rod, hoping for truanCy action
against them, were stymicd

act. The children returned to

a significant and worthwhile serv-
ice.
The reply of the railroads was
not what might be termed a bril-
liant rejoiner, despite Mr.. Clap
per's remarks in his column in the
N. Y. World Telegram and other
papers. The reply was in the form
of a clumsy evasion of the issue
by the creation of an imaginary
situation. Their reply in brief was
that the railways consider it neces-
sary to deprive the Negro citizen of
his right to work on pain of i'm
peding the war eff f. rt. The in
ference is as clear as it is ignoble
that is, that the railway brother
hoods would risk losing the war
rather. than give the Negro rail-
way worker fair play. The as
sumption of such a position is
shameful enough but to endorse it
as Mr.. Clapper has done is more
shameful still. These holier than
thou railroad unions have threat
ened to go on strike in order to
secure higher wages which must
inevitably accelerate initiation. They
show no concern for the nations
transportation needs when their
wages are involved. Their concern
with the nations welfare becomes
evident only when the vicious con-
tract designed to deprive Negro
citizens of the right to work is at
tackled by an agency of the gov
eminent.
And yet despite these apparent
setbacks, there is a growing con-
seriousness throughout the country
of the infamy of racial segregation
and discrimination. More people
are acutely aware of the hypoc-
risy of Americas pretensiOns COM
pared with her practice than ever
before. At the same time it is
gratifying to note that there is an
ever growing number of cOlOred
people who are quick to detect
Jim Crow and to voice their OPP
position against it.

Fortunately & Unfortunately

Fortunately, there are many
level-headed, decent white and
colored people in this country.
People who want to see justice
done, not to Negroes but to Amer
lean citizens, regardless of their
color. Unfortunately, these Amer
leans have either remained silent
or their words have been ignored.
They know, however, that every
time the Negro is denied his citi-
zenship rights in any way whatso-
ever that American Democracy and
they themselves are made insecure.
They also know that the war will
be fought in vain.-Earl Brown in

Too fast, too far past things you know,

Unbridled wishes stretch toward greed.

Since few possess the winged horse,

Who seeks the moon Ger ceiling zero.

On no more game than meets his need,
Yet oft his creed toward fellowmen
Is less than shown the prairie hen.

All fish that weight and measure lack,
Net spread for gold, his scruples gone,
He spears, and ofttimes gathers spawn.
Another greed than COLDS to dub
Yourself focal point or shining hub
To which must run each avenue
Of hope, marked "Closed" to all but you!
James T. Logan.
