Youth Views

Mrs. Violet T. Lewis. president
and founder OF the Lewis Business
college, made a speech in memory
OF the late President Franklin
Delano Roosevelt. over station
WJLB, Immediately following his
untlmely death.
The speech follows:
1t is natural for all OF us TO
think about the contribution of the
President as it relates TO our par
ticulsr fields Of endesvor. My par
ticular interest is that OF educating
youth, and preparing youth for life.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
when he came into Office, did not
forget American youth. He realized
as few men OF public office had
realized before him, that any pro-
gram Of national recovery that did
not give American youth an oppor-
tunity TO re-discover itself, and re-
orientate itself. could have no last
ing results.
THERE WERE many confer
ences on youth problems called at
the White House. by the President.
These conferences were called with
the view to working out national
program for the youth. You will
recall. that our youth were taking
to the highways, in search OF Gre
alive activity; they were riding
freight trains; they were leaving
home in large numbers, because
they felt that they did not want
10 continue 10 be burdens upon the
purse of the family. which was
already too scant.
Mr.. Roosevelt announced his
National Youth Program, which
program was embodied in the CCC
camps. These camps serving mil
lions OF young people through the
nation. did more than give youth
an opportunity TO contribute to the
family budget, by doing some Gre
alive work. These camps served TO
help youth re-discover the great
possibilities in these United States.
They gave youth sense Of belong
ing. Youth through the CCC
camps learned 10 feel that America
had not forgotten them.
WE ALL recall the National
Youth Administration, as part OF
the youth program for the youth of
the United States. This program
served TO give the youth an oppor-
tunity for education. There are lit
orally hundreds Of thousands of our
young people, who could not have
finished high school, college, bust
ness and professional schools. had
1t not been for the National Youth
Administration. These young men
and women are now serving our
nation in a most vital way, because
we had President, Franklin
Delano Roosevelt, who had the
foresight to prepare these youths
for America.
Il, as an educator, along with all
other educators in America. feel
greatly indebted to the late Presi-
dent. Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
for his attention TO, and under
standing OF. the problems Of Ameri-
can youth. 1t is my profound be-
lief that American youth has more
lhan justified what our great Presi-
dent did for them"

FIRST
NEGRO TO CALL
ON PRESIDENT
BY HARRY McALPIN

WASHINGTON. D. C. (NNPA)
The first Negro TO call on Presi-
dent Truman and pay his respects
was J. E. Mitchell. editor and pub
Usher OF the ST Louis Argus. He
was at the White House last Fri
day.
On leaving the White House, Mr..
Mitchell told reporters that he had
extended his greetings to the
President and congratulated him
on his statements to the press and
in his speech before Congress i'm
mediately after assuming the
presidency.
PARTICULARLY, HE SAID he
told him, were the people i'm
pressed with his statement to
newspaper men. Pray for me-
and with that part OF his speech
in which he said: AT this moment
| have in my heart a prayer. AS
assume my heavy duties, hum
bly, pray TO Almighty God, in the
words OF Solomon: Give, there
fore. Thy servant an understand
ing heart TO judge this Thy peo-
pie. that | may discern between
good and bad: for who is able 10
judge this Thy so great people, 8"
President Truman told Mr..
Mitchell that the Negro has
nothing to fear so far as he Is
concerned In the Presidency.
The statement was made when
Mr.. Mitchell reminded the Pres
ident near the close Of the in
terview that the Chief Execu-
tive has an opportunity TO do
big things for Negroes.
There was some exchange OF
conversation about matters back
home in Missouri, Mr.. Mitchell
said. The Argus was a staunch
supporter OF the Roosevelt-Tru-
man ticket last November.
