Hi; There!
This is Frances Morris, pinch
hitting for Georgia Russell, who
is spending the holidays in Ohio and
Chicago.
Al Bantam is home; he seems to
be getting tired of Uncle Sans
clothes. True?
The 553 club of Halle had it's
Christmas party Friday, the 21st,
and they say it was a pretty swell
deal.
Edward Morris (my brother) was
home on leave, looking mighty fine,
so quite few girls have been tell
ing me (smile). A party was given
in his honor Friday, December >21.
Some of the many "chicks" and
"cats" were Jean Brown, Cora Mae
Richie, Murtle Williams, Leona
Mason, Leola Graham, Billy Nc
Coy, Leonard Powers, Clarence Nc
Kinley, Paul Ray, Melvin Campbell,
David Allen, Harold Demery, and
many others. l could go on-on-on-
on-Oh yes, there's an end to them!
Maxine Worthington is home for
the holidays, still the same as ever.
Halle @. Brown girls and boys

by Wheatley, but we still had lot
of fun. The dance afterwards was
pretty short, but some of the kids
seemed to be getting on all right;
how about that, Donald Gates? I
think you know what mean.
Say, has anyone seen Dorothy
Woodford's dream boy? They say
he's really a dream. Huba-huba!
Sorry to hear that Charles Mccoy

Granger Asks
Negro Lawyers
Probe FILA

GRANGER ASKS-GUIDE .... .,..
Negro lawyers now meeting in
Cleveland were petitioned by Les
ter. B. Granger, National Urban
League executive secretary, to take
the lead in investigating the legal
ity of present FILA racial policies.
In a letter addressed to Charles
Anderson, president of the Nation
al Bar Association, in its annual
session, Granger assailed the gov
eminent agency's practice of guar
anteeing building and mortgage
loans to Negroes only if they re-
main in Negro neighbOrhOOds, and
to whites if they remain in white
areas.
Granger pointed out that FILA
has not only encouraged the spread
of racially restrictive covenants,
but it has justified them in it's I'm
derwriters Manual-the "bible" for
appraisers and financial institutions
throughout the country.
Although FILA has revised it's
manual to eliminate the references
to racial restrictions, the League
Executive stated that at is too
late for such revision to have any
practical effect. Local lending in
situations and building interests
have, on their own initiative, con-
tinued and strengthened these
practices which have distorted
housing conditions for Negroes
throughout the entire country"
Asserting that the time for "quiet
education" has passed, Granger set
forth the opinion of the National
Urban League that the situation

WHEN DO WE EAT? (The Dining Car Stewards
By Bob Robertson
Trainman
Oh, somewhere dwell quiet and order, know,
And soft conversations in shaded lights flow.
Somewhere the cooks and the walters have time
To create and serve a meal perfect, sublime.
Aye, such things still are, but know not where.
My days pass in chaos, in frenzied despair.
And all through my dreams phantom voices repeat:
When do we eat, Steward? When do we eat?
From early morn far down the dark watch of night,
In long surging lines formed to left and to right
Intense and impatient and beating their gums,
Into the diner the hungry horde comes.
The vast hungry horde which no locked door stay
Whose appetites naught appease or allay
For when stated with food they repeat:
When do we eat, Steward? When do we eat?

Oh Sage Epicurus, bear with me, plead!
Strengthen my heart in this hour of need
Let me not falter, though echoes repeat:
