or THE WEEK

eff the colored man is so frus-
trated that he offends and even
embarrasses his fellow country
men, this his state of mind must
be treated" Jos. d. Bib.
eff the South were not too blind
to see it's own best interest, it
would be strong for FEPC, for with
its large population of Negro labor
ers, the better wages which fair
ness in employment would accom-
plish, would raise the general level
of prosperity to the advantage of
all, and particularly the white mer-
chant class. IN. S. Stuart.
Nearly every family now has a
greater income than ever before.
People can fritter away this money
on price-infiated goods now; or
they can increase their individual
purchasing power by laying some
of it aside for the future. Thrifty
people are investing every surplus
dollar in war bonds.-James P.
O'Donnell.
So while many o. P. A. directives
have been ill-advised, while some
o. P. A. officials have been ILL
chosen, by and large the o. P. A.
has been and still is absolutely
necessary for retarding imitation in
a war economy. - Congressman
Richard Gale.

So far as the low cultural level
of Negroes is caused, increased and
prolonged by their white fellow
citizens, there must be organiza-
tons and movements to counterfeit
this, for it is culturally dangerous

cations would have been unable to
function. l have found the Negro
Press criticism of the church
constructive and not destructive.
AS long as the church and the
press stand together the white man
will know he has to listen to us
and give us our just place in the
postwar world"
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1944-07-07

Such a statement is profound in
it's intent, practical in it's applica-
ton when such high clerical fig
ure pauses to pay his respects and
compliments to the institution that
has labored most for complete
emancipation of the American Ne
gro and the Negro all over the
world. The attitude of cooperation
and gratitude expressed by Bishop
Sims is basic and sound. 1t gives
the Negro Press the courage to
carry on; it spurs our editors and
writers to further effort on behalf
of the church.
An organization such as the
NAACP can ill-afford to continue
to ignore its most vocal supporter.
Somewhere down the line there
must be an accounting and the
longer it is put off the more diff
cult it will be. In another month
or so the NAACP will pick the
winner of it's famous Spingarn
Medal for 1914 instituted by the
late Joel E. Spingarn, chairman of
the board of directors of the
NAACP in 1914.
Du Bots Only Newsman HOnOred
The awards, which are gold
medals, are given each year to the
Negro who, according to the board,
shall have reached the highest
achievement in his field of activity
in Negro journalism. Only DR..
William E. Burghardt Du Bots,
then editor of the NAACP's Crisis,
has been singled out for the award.
The NAACP has not as yet seen fit
to recognize the achievement of
Negro newspapermen in this con-
nection. 1t has not honored a
single Negro editor of a news
paper, despite the fact that these
are the men responsible, more or
less, for the existence of that Or
ganization and for it's continued
favor in the public eye. And it can
not be said that among the many
outstanding Negro editors and
publishers there is not a single
one worthy of the NAACP's annual
tribute. The courage of the
Louisiana Weekly's DeJoie; the
craftsmanship of the Kansas City
Calls Franklin; the tireless efforts
of the Cleveland Calls Walker; the
Louisville Defenders Stanley; the
California SentinePs Washington
all these attributes of those in
volved in the common struggle
should be recognized and properly
evaluated.

Little Things

Three girls dancing on a corner downtown,
One was fair and two were brown,
There's nothing quite so indiscreet,
AS clowning on public street.
Exuberance and nerve of youth
Are no excuse to act uncouth,
The characters of men of note
Are nodded long before they vote
Two young men on trolley car,
Telling the world how smart they are,
Do they not know the truly wise
Never have to advertise.
Four abreast on a sidewalk,
Hogging all the road,
Puts on the back of liberty,
Far too heavy load,
The truest test of Freedom
Lies within the care
You show in seeing others
Get an equal share.
These may be little things perhaps,
But little things have changed world maps,
While nothing you may do or say
Can stop the universe,
Each word, each deed can count lot
Toward making our future worse.

CINE HAND DANGEROUS

"DANGER HAND" is an eX-
preston coined years ago by the
veteran authority of his day, Mil
ton c. Work, to apply to one of
the two defenders against a No
Trump contract. In some great
proportion of al No Trump con-
tracts, he outcome depends on
whether a particular M of the
defenders may be kept out Of the
lead at N stage or another.
When the situation is such that
one Of them is a threat to the con-
tract and the other cannot harm
it, the declarer should strain
every effort to protect himself
against that hazard.
