for the great Ito them) privilege
of being invited to dinner at some
despicable zoot-suiter, the nappy-
white persons home or to call some
famous white man by his first name
as he always calls them.
They glorify certain colors
among Negroes-making heroes or
heroines, front pagers, as it werey
of those whose skins are not all
black, whether their choice in this
connection is capable of producing
or not. In this, they accept the
white mans standard of beauty and
doom thousands of Negroes whose
only sin is that they look Negroid,
to ridicule and embarrassment.
That is why the Negro woman
who might weigh $50 pounds and
who wheezes when she climbs into
the bus gets a round of filters and
giggles or cold disdain from young
Negroes who think they are acting
as New Negroes" for the benefit
of the white riders aboard the bus.
That is why the poor, untutored
Negro fresh from the South, max
ing his first venture in the So
called Gland of freedom and oppor-
tunity" of the North is shooed away
or sent to the police station or to
the Salvation Army for assistance
or advice, when the Negroes who
sent him should be the first to come
to his aid.
Day of Reckoning Coming
One of these days the great
masses of Negroes in Americas
principal cities and on it's farms
are going to wake up completely
and get rid of a burden they should
on no account have to carry. That
day will come when the masses
awake to the knowledge that
they, not the so-called "better
element" are the ones who are
making progress. They will then
realize that three-fourths or more
of the professional Negroes spend
all their working hours chasing
members of the masses-because
the Negro masses have most of
the money in the race. They have
the ten and fifteen dollar a week
jobs shining shoes, cooking, wait
ing tables, running errands, or kill
ing chickens that provide the main
source of revenue for the profess
SIGNALS. The doctor, the lawyer, the
preacher, the realtor, the store
owner, and the undertaken all draw
their sustenance from the lowly,
headed man, the unbathed piano
mover, the ragpicker, the wash
woman, and the errand boy.
The other professional Negroes
draw their support from the big
white foundations or from white
philanthropists, but must make
their studies on the little Negro
since it stands to reason they
wouldn't stand much chance in sub
hitting statistical data on the Irish,
Jews, Germans or Italians.
There should be some avenue or
way in which real Negro leadership
would not depend on what the white
man thinks is best for Negroes but
would tell him what the Negro
wants and is going to take. This
leadership wouldn't continue to let
the white man tell him year in and
year out that there are only
100000 Negroes in the United
States. 1t would tell the truth and
say there might be 25 million and
make demands based on that
strength Of numbers.

the tried and true get the right of
way up the road to the goal. All
Negroes who truthfully want con-
crete answer as to what we are
and where we are going should ask
those who set themselves up as
leaders and presume to do our
thinking: "Are you one of US or
do you belong with the other side ?"
Once an answer has been made
and if there is the slightest hest
tation based on prior commitments
or considerations, action should be
taken at once. Only in this way
can we rid ourselves of the heavy
load we are taking on our backs.
Wasted Efforts Costly
There seems to be more time
and money spent to prove by writ
ing and long-winded discussion that
the Negro is actually a black man
with a white skin than there is
spent to adequately feed, house
and educate the millions of US who
need such attention.
There seems to be reason to sus-
pect grain of truth in the rumor
that certain specialists" on race
matters go around with stetho-
scopes, placing them on the chest
of bleeding, aching, hungry race,
making an analysis and a detailed
report to hand over to some body
of white folk who accepts the re-
port of our national low estate and
makes a substantial donation for
similar report the next year.
That such specialists" have
rightly earned the title, "stool-
pigeons" is apparent when the fact
is plain that they are paid off while
our condition remains the same.
Educated to Ape Whites
There seems constant effort
underfoot among a certain class of
the so-called "better element" of
Negroes to 'get away from" the
rest of US. They are educated to
ape the white mans tastes in every
respect and to frown on any and
all things purely Negro. They
publicly denounce and decry our
racial cultures, willing to trade all
that away for a dubious distinction
of being "almost like a white man."
Everything they belittle that is
Negro, even the effort to achieve
economic status and self-hood. They
would break up and scatter the
so-called black-belt vote where
thousands of Negroes are concen-
trated, not because the segregation
is the main ailment, but because
Negroes vote straight Republican
or Democratic tickets and are
thereby identified by a common
political preference.
They send their children from
the community to exclusive schools
with whites, hoping against hope
that the white mans educational
system will make their black or
brown offspring white, not realiz-
ing that color is or greatest
strength and the hardest part of
the evidence of Negro parentage
to destroy.
Unite With Whites Against Race
These Negroes make common
bond with so-called liberal whites
to scatter our racial strength; to
invade the most sacred precincts of
our inner cultural activities, and
to take over and direct our thinking

Nurses Aide Duties Increase:
Work Merits Responsibility
By Betty Grove Smith.

One OF the greatest tributes to
the Red Cross Nurses Aide Corps
is the fact that In every hospital
where these aides serve their duties
and responsibilities have constantly
increased. The aides have earned
the right to be treated as profess
sionals. They have proven that they
are capable of doing professional
work and the hospitals have been
the first to recognize this.
The other afternoon we had a
visit with one OF Washington pio-
neer aides. Mrs. Frank E. Marsh,
who Is captain OF nurses aides at
Providence Hospital. (And in addi-
ton to being one of the pioneers in
Washington she was the pioneer
aide in San Francisco) We asked
Mrs. Marsh to tell lis about some
OF the early work of the corps. Back
In 194l, before Pearl Harbor, Mrs.
Marsh enrolled and trained for
nurses aide work here in Wash
ington. Her husband was then with
eAAS = SaSA "a AAoAoAlAS AQAiAl1StI dLlHl.
Later when he was sent to San
Francisco to open the West Coast
ofnce for the OPA Mrs. Marsh ac-
companied him. BY that time she
was a full-fedged nurses aide, with
over 100 hours of work to her credit.
The first nurses aide class in
San Francisco was in process of be-
ing formed, Mrs. Marsh told us, and
a real live graduate aide was some
thing of a novelty. Immediately
upon her arrival Mrs. Marsh was
put to work in the Red Cross office
interviewing applicants from 8 am.
to pm. every day. She must have
answered million questions-about
the work and the training and just
what 1t meant to the hospitals and
the patients and to the aide herself
to be able to give this sort of bed
side care. Never having made a
speech in her life she was still un-
daunted when the Red Cross asked
her to speak before the Parent
Teacher Association-she was so
enthusiastic about the corps that
