THE MAN WHO has an automo-
bile is limited. not by the power of
his car, but by his means of re-
spOnsibility. The automobile taught
the public the virtues of mOdera-
tion and cooperation. 1t trained
Americas sense of responsibility.
and irresponsibility too. Before the
war there were enough cars and
enough gas so the whole popula-
tion could ride at once. And on
Sunday they mostly did. The car
will take us anywhere anytime, it
has done a lot for America. 1t
created the industries which are
winning the war. But most of all,
it trained the millions of men who
learned independence and good
sense from the old Lizzie. and
above all, learned the mechanical
knowledge that makes the average
American fighting man the power
that he is. Forty years of combus-
tion on wheels is what keeps G. /.
Joe on caterpillars and wings
what has taught our youth how to
lick the Hun and the Jap.

THANKSGIVING DAY this veal
saw us in the midst of war with Oul
armed forces pressing the enemy
from all sides. Harvest's end which
has filled our storehouses with the
rich yield of our good earth found
us weary with great struggle; it
found many thousands of us bur-
dened by grief, by the tragedy of
irreparable loss. So our day was
one profound solemnity. II was a
day. for reaching backward through
three centuries to the first Thanks
giving; of gathering new purpose
from the struggling company of
Pilgrims on strange shore who
held their little feast to celebrate
defeat of hardships past and offer
ed their petitions for aid through
hardships yet TO come But our day
was also one of gratitude to God
lOI hlOuHtihS NlttbI - anu iOi Jul
ideal of universal peace and free
dom for which our young men
fight and die. Out of grateful
hearts we celebrate Thanksgiving.
We thanked the Almighty for ma
tiOn unscared by the ravages of
war, for the courage of our fight
ing men. and for the promise of a
greater world-one in which men,
of all colors and creeds, and of all
beliefs shall enjoy long and last
ing peace and the comforts of
pleasures of world made safe for
all mankind.

THOSE OF us who lived during
World War One and the unsettled
years which followed well remem-
ber the suffering and misery which
followed the wild spree of spending
and initiation which ended with the
long drawn out depression. To
those who were victims of this
nightmare no warning is necessary
but to the millions who have come
of age since that distressing era
word of warning should be timely.
If you've got a job today, for your
own sake, be smart. Think twice

the Germans and the Japs are

times. o. X. you'll be sitting pretty.
Perhaps we'll have bad times. Then
they're sure to hit hardest on the
guy with nothing saved. The best
thing you can do for your country
right now is not to buy thing you
can get along without. That helps
keep prices down, heads off infla-
ton, helps to insure good times
after the war. And the best thing
you can do for your own sake, if
there should he a depression ahead
is to get your finances organized

feel that the trend among the
Negroes is strongly against another
Roosevelt term and are convinced
they can take away approximately
40 per cent, perhaps more, of what
he had last time. In that event,
they assert every one of the above
mentioned States will 60 for Dewey,
which certainly would elect him.
1t is an interesting condition and
not one particularly pleasant to
contemplate-this struggle over a
racial group and the possibility that
its vote may decide the presidency.
But there is no sense blinking the
facts.
In 1885, as result of a calculated
and extraordinary coddling campaign,
Mr.. Roosevelt almost bodily took
over the Negro vote which, for gen.
erations, had been a basic asset of
the Republican party. He kept 1t
through 1910. Since then 1t has been
slipping. Partly this is due to the
discontinuance Of WPA, and partly
due to accumulation of other re-
sentiments.
Mrs. Fauset makes it clear that
Mr.. Hannegan's efforts to hold the
Negroes are not being successful.
The hope of holding them for Mr..
Roosevelt this time lies almost
wholly with the Hillman PAC and
the Communist leaders, all of whom
are supporting Mr.. Roosevelt. They
know that game better and are far
better equipped for playing 1t than
the regulars.
