Native

American whiskey is unlike any other whiskey in the world. It imi- tates no other country's national" alcoholic beverage. It is as native to America as "pork and beans," ''ham and eggs" and steak" h. cidentally the latter is so American that few foreign languages, if any, have their own name for it. Go to France, to Spain, or Italy, and if you find it on the menu it appears in English, or very similar, per haps (''steka" or "steaka," or 'bnstek").
 American Rye, or Bourbon, or the increasingly popular American Blended Whistles, are strictly U. S. A.-in flavor. To be sure, those who possess sensitive taste buds can tell the difference among these three types, and there has undoubtedly been a sectional pref erence for Rye or Bourbon-quite pronounced in some areas. Skillful blending, however, has done some thing for American whiskies, and a fine Blended Whiskey seems to possess taste qualities that please both the Rye and the Bourbon drinker. And, yet, fine Blended Whiskey has neither a distinctive Rye nor Bourbon flavor dominance.
 While science has entered the dis tilling industry particularly during the past ten years, bringing pre- cision and exactitude into the selec- ton of grain, yeast, water, barrels, and in the control of the processes of fermentation and distillation, the expert blender is much more an artist than scientist. He takes the fine, clean whiskies of various ages and types from his whiskey ''hall of fame," and does things with them, just as the painter takes his primary colors and blends them to- gether to create new and rare color characteristics.
 But, the expert blender never sac rifices the native" underlying American fauor. He, too, believes -"Americans make the best of everything"

ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE

Recently at luncheon an English newspaper man made
the statement that the people always right One of
the ntelectuals present said Come Think of the
trashy popular songs Can you say when the people like
them, they are right?"
To which the Engshman replied: "Wel, the only
things American don't like the the jazz records my
daughter colecs-but If the people like song say there
must be something to it."
He was right. Here's an illustration. You all know
the song mean. 1t has catchy melody-but it's more
than the music that put it on the hit parade
"Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, latch

By lst/Sgt.
Marion B. Mott" Smith

Since ! landed in India I have
had the opportunity to visit some
of the most interesting points in
this country. The first being the
dirty crowded city Of Calcutta
which is located at the mouth of
the Hoogily river, an arm of the
celebrated Gauges river. Calcut-
ia is the second largest city in all
the British Empire and on the
left Of this city is the city of
Howrh, terminus of the great
railway system which binds the
vast Indian peninsular together
from Bombay on the shores of
the Persian gulf to Madras on
the south where the great spear
shaped peninsular points down
into Indian ocean. India is land
of riches and poverty, of beauty
and sordid ugliness, Of cold and
heat, of drouth and torrential
rain, of mountains and plains, In
short, il is land of contrast. One
sixth of the worlds population
lives here and they can boast of
the Oldest civilization and yet
judged by western people they
live in superstition and ignorance.
Calcutta might be described as
being like the cities of Chicago,
New Orleans, Detroit and New
York all rolled into one. Like
Chicago it is the chief rail termi-
nus, like New Orleans, it is stu
ated at the mouth Of a far reach
inland water system where boats
of all types 60 up stream with
world goods and Calcutta re-
ceives via water the grain and
all dimensions, rich in raw mat
erials and manpoWer. In addi-
ton to all these things, Calcutta
was until a generation ago, the
capital of the British India
Queen Victoria selected it as the
place for the seat of the British
Government in India, under the
East India Company which was
an important factor in the settle
ment of this country. After the
Indian mutiny of 1857, the Crown
(English) took over all military
and civil affairs from the East
India Company. Still dominating
Calcutta, one can see the impos-
ing official residences of the
period which ushered in the
greatness Of the city. Most of
these buildings lie along the
Hooghly river. Calcutta is known
Arkansas State press., 1945-06-01

as a city of palaces before and
a city of pig-sties behind. Her
suburbs are a sprawling collec-
ton of mud huts known as bas-
tbs where fully eighty per cent
Of the city's two million inhabit-
ants live in unimaginable poverty
and squalor. Benares is the sacred
city of the Hindu faith as Mecca
is to the Moslem world, as Rome
to the Catholic people every
where, so is Benaras the Holy
city to a quarter of a billion
Hindus. To die in Benaras, says
the Hindu is to be assured eter-
nal grace. Every year thousands
Of faithful followers of Vishnu
and silva come to worship in this
city of temples and to battle in
the sacred waters of the Gauges.
The city itself is a great amphi-
theatre rising up from the river
bed. With a population compare
BILE to that of Indianapolis, it
holds 1900 temples. Its hillsides
are studded with palaces and
temples rising row on row from
the rivers edge. Its narrow
streets twisting and turning this

PLAIN TALK

There is to believe that too much emphasis has
been placed white collar Negroes and not enough on the
Negroes whose collars open in front and who the
sweat of honest labor to rcke down their chests they
perform tasks from which they draw living wage
While the plight of the so-caed white-collar Negro is
similar to that of the white person in that Classification
much emphasis has served to becoud vexing situation in
which the Negro those who work mainly with their
hands, are left to shift for themselves.
