DISCIPLINE BADLY NEEDED

No. l on the Negroes backyard" agenda should be
the spread of sort of training that makes for dis
ciplne among adoescents with plenty thrown in for
the adults Some kind of program should be devised to
educate the great against harmful vices that are
picked up wholesale from decadent white civilization which
things of life should be talked about and examined such
acts as buying ones home saving money that is be-
ing recklesy thrown away at time when easy
for whskey, idle pleasures, and fanciful whims
practical code of morals should be taught everybody
particularly on the of the racay harmful practice
of disregardng the institution of marriage and putting
male and female relationships on basis of "fes love-
so-caled common law marriages. In this way children
have parental respect and hope in the future based
the protection of family hearth built firm foundations
As It is countless thousands of Negro children being
brought into the world through common law marriages
and ree love- relationships who will start out in life with
two strikes already called upon them because of their hazy
parental background.

Ans: The first thing you need
to do is to get job and 60 to
work becoming Independent and
self.supporting. The next thing is
to give up this man entirely. You
started out on the wrong foot and
you should back-track and get on

UNDERSTANDING IN DIXIE

No. onthe agenda should be the actual graphing with
the truth - THAT THE NEGROS MOST NECESSARY
MOVE IN INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIPS is TO GET
AN UNDERSTANDING WITH THE SOUTHERN WHITE
ed Propaganda pro and contempt hatred constantly
famed by both those who sincere and those who oper
ate for point have played tremendous role in wedging
apart the Negro and the Southern white man. The Negro
Problem is mostly in the South The white rules the
South The issue plain Both Negro and Southern white
other sections of the land But the Negro and the South
white man won't get together long as the bar
rage of propaganda continued confusing the ISSUE Bas
caly the problem is this: The Southern white has
fused to recognize the Negro complete human being
and the Negro has avoided making bold fight for what
is rghtfully his.
To get around open fireworks tables should be spread
chairs drawn up and the whole matter laid out for complete
examination But this hypothetical examination of the
of the trouble change in complexion should take
place around the conference board Instead of the best
Negroes and the educated liberal whites who have been
handling the situation all these years. the sharecrpper the
common aborer the maid the cook the porter and the
called little Negroes should get chance to talk.

Reynolds Elenden and Cotton Ed Smith in their white
supremacy programs. When such situation about

prepare the Negro for his full participation in national and
international affairs, and to make him equal and capable
of assuming position of real manhood, dignity and ready
for unity with all forces that strive for common objec

that time my husband has pass

Ans: An outright sale would

She received word previously that
he had been missing in action since

Of Corregidor. Officials of the war
department wrote Mrs. Robertson
that in the absence of definite in
formation as to what had happened
to her son, he had been removed
from the missing status in which
his name had been carried for two
years In accordance with law, he
had officially been declared dead,

Helms enlisted in the army March

the Philippines and radioed his
mother that he was going to China.
That is the last word she received
from him. she said Wednesday, and
the war department wrote her that
no trace of him had been found
after the surrender of Corregidor

But the Montgomery Ward case
must be considered in connection
with the John l.. Lewis case, and
with the Sears Roebuck case.
In the Lewis case, so far as 1

ers in 1896; he wasn't sitting in a
mine shaft. His miners actually
were on strike. Other than this the
principles were the same; the con-
ditions the same. John l.. Lewis
defied the board; he defied the
President of the United States. He
was not carried out of anywheres;
the soldiers were left to the job
for which they enlisted or were
drafted: that of getting ready to
beat the daylights out CT the Axis
and Japan. The President did
nothing.

that Sears Roebuck was mot es-

ton of the Ward incident, that this
firm was an essential industry, be-
cause rs per cent of its customers

granting truck certificates; there
was danger of the dispute spread

They then are moved to the farm,
fattened, and sold at y to 13 weeks
of age. They have grown 900
chickens this year. They average
between three and three and a half
pounds at IL to 13 weeks. They
have a nice bunch of New Hamp-
shire Reds at the farm which they
keep in ventilated chicken houses
which are built to keep them off
the ground. This, Spencer said, is
great help in disease control.
VICTORY GARDEN
Their Victory Garden is a splen-
did sight and has been successful
as a production unit, a study plot
and an experimental plot. They
are growing seed onions, green
onions, brussell sprouts, betes
carrots, peas, sweet corn, golden
bantam hybrid, mung beans for
Chinese dishec, chilli beans, cora
eggplant, squash of many varieties
endive. dill, red chicory, cucumbers
and Swiss chard.
The cafeteria at the high school
and the county farm use as many
of the garden products as they need
and the club members help them
selves and take home what they
need for their families.
