AS A MATTER OF FACT

At the convention of the American Federation of Teachers held this week m Chicago a year of military training was proposed TOT all American youth on high school graduation. This suggestion has been made from time to time and event. ually it is quite likely that such pro- gram from American youth will be car ried out And it goes without saying it will have general approval.

ation--close to l80O00 women and children. as well as the old and infirm--there are. surprisingly. still a number of children about, espec- ially in the London suburbs. Many parents have preferred to keep them at home rather than risk the dis comforts of overcrowued safe areas or simply because it just is impos- stble to get accommodation for the next three months. The removal of the ban on many southern and western coastal districts resulted in hotels and rooming houses being overwhelmed with requests for rooms.
 Suburbit has settled down once again to a fortress" life. It has dragged it's mattresses down from upstairs bedrooms to living or din. ing room where once a maid in starched cap and apron waited at table. Meals are eaten in the kitch. en and the last trace of chichi has disappeared.
 EVERYONE SHEDS RESTRAINT
 In London and everywhere else Tor that matter there Is no longer any diffidence about flinging your self on the ground or floor to avoid being hurt by glass and other debris. I was shopping at the local grocery store one Saturday afternoon when a doodle" was heard approaching and everyone customers and as- sistants alike-went down like a flash.
 Committing, you find that a P-plane overhead will quickly melt whatever reseve your fellow trav- elers still cling to. Our crowded train was standing at a junction station the other evening when We heard and saw a bomb coming. Everyone threw himself on the platform and on the floor of the coach. So that women would not be injured by glass from shattered windows the men in our coach put their backs up against the glass and pushed the women down on the seats.
 London bus drivers and conduc- tors decided recently to carry on" during flying-bomb raids as they did in the i940-ai blltz. They re- fused with thanks" the offer of the Manchester corporation to lend 800 drivers and conductors to relieve the strain in London. The offer was conditional on an equal number of drivers and con- Aaaafore ooiaau s.arta, far n 2,,,r ..,aalrss "busmans holiday" But the Cock neys decided they preferred to ''see this thing through" By now all of LondOn's buses have anti-blast mesh on the rear windows.
 sTORK VISITS ONE SHELTER
 4 baby was born in an "Ander- son" shelter Itfe kind that are dug out Of the ground in the back yardl somewhere in the London area. The shelter had been comfortably fitted up with a bed with room enough for the baby's cot alongside.
 4 large number of people living in ISondon's outer suburbs have acquired indoor table" shelters. There has been such a demand for these that many people living in the north of England have offered to relinqulsh theirs for the benefit of their fellow-eltizens in the south.
 Table shelters can be made quite eozy with mattress and are guar anteed 10 withstand even the weight of an entire house in case of a direct hit. Two people can sleep quite comfortably, and there are double-deckers for a family of four or five. People whose income is be- low si 200 a year get them free otherwise the price Is s2s for the flrst size and S36 for the larger.

bill for years.
The wires directed attention of
the two presidential candidates to
the pattern of reconversion to
prejudice already begun in Brys

which recently fired twelve Negro
elevator operators and replaced
them with whites.
Mr.. Randolph, at the conven-

Norton of Jersey City, chairman
OF the House labor Committee
asking her to reconvene her COM
mittee in emergency session "in
view of the danger signal given by
the Memphis firings," to finish
hearings on the fair employment
bill. which would make discrimina-

ployment illegal.

THEY'RE OUR CONCERN

Their total welfare should be ou
serious concern. We should see ir
them more than an increase ir
trade, or even as contribution to
culture. They represent the pre-
cious clay which God. the supreme
Potter has entrusted to us to be
moulded according to his will and
purpose. Let us see to 1t that none
of it is marred by either ignorance
or lack of skill.
With love and patience and
understanding as tools, let us shape
1t gloriously for the Masters use.
Ours is the obligation to labor in
cooperation with the authorities of
the colleges in our midst to orien-
tate the freshmen, not only into
the life and activities of the in
stitution, but into the hearts, the
homes, and the whole program of
community life.
We should implement our gen.
uine pleasure in having them In
our midst with a solemn determi-
nation to rid our city of all evils
and temptations to evils that might
cast a stumbling block in the path
way of these young people, as they
turn their faces and direct their
steps toward four years of guest
for the good life.
For be assured that all else that
they gain will be counted as
naught if they lose The vision
glorious.
We have a rendezvous with
freshmen. Let us keep it with hui
mility, courage and faith, that with
our help these promising young
sters OF today may be the hope
and the leaders of tomorrow's

rests upon those who are to have,
even a small part. in shaping the
thinking and directing the actions
of this host of tomorrOW'S leaders.
Not only the college, with its
executive and administrative off,
GERS; its teachers and student lead
ers are keeping sacred rendezvous
with these freshmen, but the town
in which the institution is located
with all of its activities and inter-
ests has share, for more impor-
tant than is always appreciated, in
not only welcoming an incoming
class, but in contributing tt its
training and the shaping of its
moral ideals and civic convictions.
HANDMAIDEN OF COLLEGE
A community when is a college
town becomes by virtue Of that
fact a kind of handmaiden of the
college within its midst. 1t should
strive to create and maintain at all
times an atmosphere in which the
work of the college could move for
ward unhampered by its environ
ment. The churches, the homes,
the places of business and recrea-
ton and amusement--all have a
stake in the future of the fresh
men who this fall have arrived to
be four years their guests and fell
low citizens.
Atlanta, more accurately than
any other city in America can be
and is classified as a college

tons of higher and professional

Senate Confirms
Shepard Post
BY HARRY s. McALPIN
washington Correspondent


Of Atlanta Daily World And NNPA)
WASHINGTON The Senate
Thursday evening, after lengthy
debate, confirmed the nomination
OF DR.. Marshall L. Shepard, of
Philadelphia, to be recorder of
deeds for the District of Columbia.
The appointment was opposed by
the Republicans.
Senator Harold Burton CR. of
Ohio moved to recommit the
nomination to the committee on
the District of Colurnbia and con-
tended the appointment should be
made from the residents of the
District. He was supported in the
debate by Senator Bridges (R. of
New HI and Senator White Or.
of Maine), minority leader in the
senate.
The only Republican to indicate
approval of the appointment was
Senator Davis Or. of Penna.) who
In his absence had a statement
read into the record declaring the
nomination met with his sincere
approval. He praised the character
and ability of Dr. Shepard, said
he had known him for a number
of years, and believed him emin-
emily qualified to fill and proper
ly carry out the position for which
he has been designated.
Though the nomination was con-
firmed, there was indication from
both Republicans AMI Democrats
that some legislative action may
be taken to make future appoint
ments to this position and others
In the District. Mandatory from
among residents of Columbia.
