 Make Surveys On Selves Pay

Chicago, Aug. 27. (UP)-The boby-Sox brigade has gone into business for itself and it is doing pretty well, too.
 Headed by 19-year-old Eugene Gilbert, the teen-agers are oper- ating a business called the Gil- Bert Teen Age Services, which conducts marked surveys for Chi- cago stores and manufacturers.
 The kids found out for one store that nearly 30 per cent of all high school students buy one candy bar day, while only 17 per cent of all adults buy bar day or less
 They keep their clients in touch with new style trends, and investt-- gate teen-age tastes in soap and tooth paste. s'You'd be surprised, !" Gilbert said, ''now many kids want colored toothpaste."
 Seven tee1-agerS run the enter prise and plan to incorporate soon. They recently conducted a survey for a downtown shoe store to ind out what kind of footwear high school students prefer and what kind of stores they like to trade in The youthful businessmen and women in the enterprise now are planning survey for several de- partment stores to find out what newspapers Chicago teen-agers read. Their surveys cover a cross-sec- tion of schools, ages, income groups. lnationalities and religions. The firm | is centralized in Chicago because lit is "the greatest busness place in the world" Gilbert said.
 Chicago businessmen know what kids can do if you give them a chance" he said.
 The firm also has two branch offices-one in Indianapolis and the other in New York.

QUESTION POWELL
CHARGE THAT
DEMOCRATIC

WASHINGTON, Nov. l (ANP)
The public announcement in New
York by Rep. Adam c. Powell that
certain individuals had gone "un-
rewarded" for their political serv-
ices by the Democratic party
brought prompt censure from Mrs.
Mary Mcleod Bethune and an ex-
preston of surprise and interest"
from Mrs. Thomasina Walker
Johnson.
Informed of the Powell state
ment, Mrs. Bethune said flatly that
she is not interested in a federal
job. Before President Roosevelt
passed. she said, che offered me

ment Mrs. Bethune forthrightly de-
clared that she is a retired" wo-
man and on "nobody's payroll and

she expected to spend the balance

Mrs. Johnson, legislative repre-
sentative for the AKA Non-parti-
san Council of Public Affairs, was
less vehement but said she had not
discussed jobs with Mr.. Powell.

All this seems to sound the death
knell for colonial exploitation, but
only the most innocent will think
those French colonial reforms can
be carried out without strong op-
position from those commercial in
terests who have waxed fat from
the exploitation of African Ne
groes.
But as late as October, 1945, the
French minister of colonies, Paul

NEGROES and THE
FRENCH ELECTION

The future and welfare of over
25 million Negroes in French Afri-
can colonies and in the West In
dies were directly involved in the
French elections. These Negroes
are undoubtedly treasured by the
strong leftward trend of French
politics and by the strengthened
position of Gen. Charles DeGaulle
as head of the provisional govern
ment.
What the black colonials have
gained as a result of the election
is continuation of the strong pro-
gressive colonial policies which free
France has followed ever since
they felt the heel of Hitler's boot
on her neck. Under Gen. DeGaulle
France is eager to express in what
ever manner she can, her gratitude
to millions Of Negroes who sustain
ed her during her darkest hours
The man who rallied Black Af-
RIGA to free France was Gov. Gen.
Felix Ebouse, a West Indian Ne
gro who had risen to unparalleled
heights in the French colonial serv-
ice. According to the French, this
Negro, next to DeGaulle, was the
most beloved Frenchman.
Eboue and DeGaulle had a
strong admiration for each other.
Ignoring the frightened protest of
certain Eboue to a governor-gen-
eralship after Eboue had withstood
the stiffest kind of pressure from
the Hitler-dominated government
then in Vichy, France.
De Gaulle's confidence was we'll
placed for under Eboue's inspira-
ton a colonial conference was
called in Brazzaville, French Equa-
torial Africa, right in the mid
die of the war French African
governors, DeGaulle, and members
of his cabinet were the partici-
pants. They worked out broad pol
icies promising housing, economic
development, education and health
services, and general political re-
forms to the millions of Negroes
in French African colonies.
Today the French, despite their
poverty, are making an admirable
effort to keep those promises.
Schools for the training of doctors
and medical assistants have been
opened at Dakar and at other
points in French "Black Africa" !"
The educational system is being
overhauled and greater emphasis
is being placed on mechanical and
technical training. All advantages
are being extended to women in a
determined effort to equalize the
positions of men and women.

Powder Founders

Because of the interest some
church officials have shown
since the conception of our
CIO. l saw fit to interview one
whose name / have been asked
to withhold because of his con-
nections with WLB. Panels. He
expresses the opinion that all
labor, under the UAW-CIO. con-
stitution can reap more of the
fruits of labor which from re-
ligious view point is guaranteed
in the study of the Bible.
Both learned, Catholic and
Protestant clergymen agree that
proper application of union
principles and education, have
tendency to discourage social
istic teachings. If we had pro-
perly educated industrialists, re-
ferring of course to biblical
education - 1 would like at this
time to make reference to 4Gen:
iii.17. If you take time to look
this up, ask yourself if you are
saving enough so that 'In thy la
Dor thou shalt eat of it all the
days of thy life" If you answer
negative then figure it out,
whether you, the Bible, or
Plaskon is wrong, and who
among us dare say the bible is
in error. Yes, for my part, I'll
take good old st. James any old
day. st. James va is another
very good recommendation.
