 WiIlBe Taken
 During March

notwithstanding March 18th throughout the nation it's Terri tories and possessions, a ceiling price check-up will be made to show the effectiveness Of specific prices in holding the cost of living from rising to inflationary proportions. OPA Administrator Chester Bowles is convinced that price control can and will be best administered from a local board level. Voluntary com pliance, not enforcement measures, has been the ultimate aim. Consum- CTS and merchants have a mutual sake in this drive, the results of which will have a strong bearing on future OPA policies.
 All grocers and butchers in Ket- chikan, Wrangell. Petersburg, Ju- ueau, Skagway, Sitka, Cordova, Val dez Seward, Kodiak, Anchorage, Palmer, Fairbanks and Nome will be visited during the week of March i3 Is as Alaska's part in this sur gey, one of the most extensive ever by the OPA.

Arrangements have been completed with the Army to return the native people to theic homes from which they were evacu- ated when the Japs struck at Dutch Harbor Now with the Jap out of Alaska, and on the run generally in the Pacific, the people who were moved to Burnett Inlet, near Wran- gell, Funter Bay near Juneau and Wards Lake, near Ketchikan for their personal protection, will be able to return to their island homes. Dr. Gabrielson, Director of the U. S. Fish and Wndlife Service, re- ported while here this week that arrangements had been completed between his department and the Army for the trek home, but dates yet were uncertain due to question of when the Army would be able to provide transport.

Did anyone ever call you a ''yeast carrier? Now, wait a minute please don't become perturbed or con cerned, but that's exactly what you are, and the fellow who calls you that, is one himself. In fact, we are all. actually, yeast carriers. Tiny yeast cells are in our hair, on our hands, on our clothes-in the air all around us and they don't harm us.
 The ever-present little fellows are always ready to go to work to change convertible sugar into alcohol any where-eveni in an uncovered glass of jelly or preserves on your pantry shelf, if you don't watch out.
 Yeast is really a microscopic plant. You can't see a single cell with the naked eye, and there are many varie- ties, many of them actually serving useful purposes.
 In the distilling industry, a special variety of yeast is used in the making of whiskey. It differs from the type used in making bread, or beer, or wine. And each distiller has his own pet culture which he guards jealously.
 Busy little fellows these microscopic cells. They're often called "busy bees" in the distillery. Like the clock, they work 24 hours a day-and they've got a steady job. But, these many varieties of yeast that float around in the air, these free riders,' must be kept out of the grain mash SO that theywon'tinterf with the pure culture yeast cells IL t t,:e distillcr uses. So cVc-yl ,u.- - ist2hen.
 If you ever visit one of Schenley's distilleries back in the states, ask them to explain to you how they build up their yeast requirements from one tiny microscopic cell under sterile conditions, so that they can maintain pure culture. You will also beshown how all the pipes (the plumbing) are steEilized after each operation with live steam; how even the atmosphere in the fermenting rooms is tested for bacteria count.
 You see, while man has very little to do with the actual processes of fermentation and distillation, he can and does exercise control over these natural processes.
 And. speaking of control, while dis cussingmatterspertaining owhiskey, these are excellent days for controlling our luxury appetites. The manufac- ture of whiskey stopped in October, 1942. Distillers are making war-alco- hol today hours a day seven days a week. The whiskey you are able to buy today was made way back in peacetime. When these stocks of aged whiskiss are gone, there won't be any more. But there is enough to last-if used in moderation.
 So, please ''control'' the amount you buy, and make what you do buy finger longer. And that reminds me, insofar as whiskey is concerned, the busy little yeast fellows are getting a well-earned vacation, but they'll be rarin' to go when they get the green light.

StitutlOn never Waned.
The interests and program of the
institution widened with the years.
One of the primary aims of Clark,
aside from teaching the funda-
mentals of the literary subjects,
was the preparation of young men
for the ministry. A theological
department was established, which
soon, through the benefactions of
DR.. Elijah H. Cannon, became
a theological seminary named
Cannon Theological Seminary in
honor of it's greatest benefactor
Through the years until 1941, when
Clark College was again relocat-
ed, Clark and Cannon existed in
such close proximity and in such
harmonious and fruitful co-opera-
ton that it could hardly be dis
cerned that they were separate in

BOSTON-(A N P)-Speaking on
the subject of the Negro and Our
National Destiny" MOrdecai W..
johnson, president of Howard uni
versity, told a capacity audience at
the Ford Hall forum on Sunday
February 13, that the Negro bad
been treated na.,tier in the past
five years than ever before in
history, and that as result that
the morale of the Negro was at
it's worse stage since emancipation.
THE Negro is fighting the war
with guns, and not with his soul,
because he could not Justify his
entire reasons for fighting" he
said, This low morale Of the Ne
gro is even contagious to the
fringe of white peoples who are
friends of the Negro, because at
the present time they are actual
ly unable to tell just what the
Negro is thinking
Johnson also predicted that if
the liberal forces in the United
States do not master more
we will turn fascist with
in the next 10 years. AS a result
we will see the darker peoples of
China, India, and Russia pitted
against the United States in a
fight to the finish.

Il have not explained the rela-
tionShip of Bessie MearS to this
boy I have not forgotten her I
omitted to mention her until now
because she was largely omitted
from the consciousness of Bigger
Thomas His relationship to this
poor black girl also reveals his re-
lationShip to the world. But Bigger
Thomas is not here on trial for
having murdered Bessie Mears
And he knows that. What does this
mean? Does not the life of q Ne
gro girl mean as much in the eyes
of the law as the life of a white
girl? Yes, perhaps, in the abstract.
But under the stress of fear and
flight, Bigger Thomas cid rot
think of Bessie: He could not The
attitude of America toward this boy
regulated his most intimate deal
ings with his own kind. After he
had killed Mary Dalton he killed
Bessie Mears to silence her, to save
himself. After he had killed Mary
Dalton the fear of having killed a
white woman filled him to the ex-
clUSion of everything else He could
not react to BeSSie's death; his
consciousness was determined by
the fear that hung above him.
But, one might ask. did he rot
love Bessie? Was she not his girl?
Yes; she was his girl He had to
have a. girl, SO he had Bessie. But
he did not love her Is love poSsi-
BILE to the life of a man I've de-
scribed to this Court? Let us see.
Love is not based upon sex alone,
and that is all he had with Bessie
He wanted more, but the circum-
stances of his life and her life
could not allow it, And the tenn
perment of both Bigger and Bessie
kept it out. Love grows from stable
relationships, shared experience,
devotion, trust. Neither Bigger nor
Bessie had any of these. What was
there they could hope for? There
was no common hope steering their
feet in common path. Even
though they were intimately to-
gether, they were confoundingly
alone. They were physically de-
pendent upon each other and they
hated that dependence. Their brief
moments together were for purpoS-
es of sex. They loved each other as
much as they hated each other;
perhaps they hated each other
more than they loved. Sex warns
the deep roots of life; it is the soil
out of which more than the tree
Of love grows. But these were trees
without roots, trees that lived by
the light of the sun and what
chance rain that fell upon stormy
ground. Can disembodied spirits
love? There existed between them
fitful splurges of physical elation:

THAYER HOME FOUNDED

A second emphasis in the widen
ing interest of Clark University
was the training of young women
in the art of home making, and
as teachers of nome economics. Tt
was at this point that the work of
the Woman'S Home Missionary So
ciety of the Methodist Episcopal
church had its inception. Under
the direction of such outstanding
women as Miss Flora Mitchell. Miss
Sibyl Abbott. Miss Grace c. Nc
Cormick and others, Thayer Home
did much of it's most significant
work in the training of young wom-
Ell for home life This training
constitutes one of the most impCr-
tant phases of the program of the
college at the present time.
The philosophy of education of
Clark University has comprehend
ed the many needs of the Negro
group. Until the past two decades
the curricular extended from the
elementary school to the college
level inclusive The work included
the college preparatory course; the
normal course, course in English
classic, the four-year college course
leading to the bachelor of arts and
bachelor of science degrees, busi-
ness administration, agriculture
and manual training. Throughout
its history this institution has at
tempted to meet the needs of young
people as these needs have risen
out of the current economic and
social life of the group
CLARK COLLEGE
In 1910 the name Clark "Univer-
sity" was changed to Clark "Col-

dicates the type of institution it
really is. III 1941 the institution
moved to a site on the west side
of Atlanta close to the Atlanta Uni
versity system.
