Both Sides
Have It
BY Elizabeth Meier
(In Afro-American)

How many Americans can ex-
anime their hearts and truthfully
say that they themselves are not
prejudiced, especially against
white people? When you have
experienced discrimination for
so long, and seldom see any prog
ress made towards equal oppor-
tunities,> it becomes extremely diff
ficult to believe that some white
people can really be trusted as true
friends.
But we can only reach a har-
monious way of living when col
ored as well as white Americans
rid themselves of prejudice. For
even as it is eating like a cancer
at a white mans soul, so it is
destroying the colored mans soul.
1t may be much more difficult
to pluck out a prejudice caused
by the deep wounds of longtime
discrimination than one based on
a mistaken idea of Superiority"
But only when all prejudice has
been removed can we come to the
close understanding necessary for
the building of this better world
our boys are fighting for.

People of all ages need calcium
and few today get a sufficient

The best and the cheapest source
of calcium is in dairy products.
The lower the income for food
the greater the need for more of

News Items and Events
of Interest Solicited

Due to the shortage of trained
workmen in the mechanical depart
ment, the ever increasing subscrip-
ton list, and because of continual de-
mands upon the job department, the
editorial staff is not able to make as
many outside contacts for personals,
news items and local activities, as it
would like to do.
However, we still desire to give the
community the best service possible.
and we would appreciate it if individ-
uals would send in items from week to
week, either by letter, postcard, or by
phone. Telephoning if possible should
be done prior to Thursday morning.
Many people come and go that we
are not aware of. There are parties.
meetings, etc, about which we have
no definite information. The paper
would serve the community better if
we carried more local happenings and
events. We will be glad for your CO.
operation.

One of the most interesting, not to
say profitable, Investigations in
American history still uneXplored are
"The American Cult-Colonies" When
we speak of the colonies we are think
ing of the first thirteen political units.
But within each of these political
units there were number Of religi-
Gus cults existing primarily for a spir-
itual expression of life. These cults
were exclusive, maintaining severe,
disciplinary regulations which sub
jected each individual in the commun-
ity to the same allowing no eX-
ceptions by reasons of rank or spe-
cial privilege. They were self-sub-
sisting, having as one of their objec-
tives a complete detachment from
other communities. Within their ex-
elusive circles their life was preoccu-
pied with spiritual exercises, the cul-
tivation Of the arts, of husbandry and
agriculture. Each community was eX-
elusive also from the standpoint of it's
peculiar doctrinal emphasis. None of
the cult-colonies have survived. Their
original purpose and social oreaniza-
ton remains but a tradition. In some
instances the cult colony has been
reduced to a church organization OF
some cultural institution. But origin
ally the cult colony included not only
the church but all the other necessary
social and cultural agencies together
