Little Rock, Arkansas.
Dear Mr.. Taylor:
am writing to you in regards
to the splendid articles that you
have written in the State Press
recently, especially BLACK An
gles," and the article, where
shall we buy our groceries"
have been in the Navy for the
past two (2) years and have COM
pleted eighteen (l8) months tour
Of duty in the Pacific, serving as
Personnel Clerk (yoeman) for my
unit, l have worked side by side
with white boys, most of them ma
tives of the Southern states, and
have found that proved ability
leads to better understanding and
harmony between races.
In my tour of duty, l have
witnessed a vast improvement ir
our race, socially, morally, spirit
ually and stern determination
to see a job well done. The Negro
race can lift their heads up high
and thank God for the accomp-
lishments achieved and should
strive even harder to attain the
goal that we have fought for SC
long.
Mr.. Taylor, in case you have
forgotten me, l am Mr.. Minton's
cousin and worked at the Urban
League for quite some time prior
to my induction into the Navy
Again l congratulate you on the
well Done" articles. Keep ul
the good work and may GOO
bless you.

uses have been found by busting

DOT will eliminate the bedbug

provides freedom from files and

DOT as an aerosol-a cross between

A power spray may be used in ap-

Just as 1t Is proving effective on
the agricultural and Industrial front.

Average Citizen
Has Answer to
National Welfare

There is considerable difference
Of opinion with regard to the att
tude civilians will take during the
next few months. Their attitudes
viii largely determine whether we
have a recession Of several months
duration and the extent of the re.
coyery from such a recession. One
group thinks that in spite of lower
incomes, based on shorter work
week, civilians will have more
leisure and spend more.
This group would expect brisk
trade based on free spending. I'm
portant segments Of the federal gov.
eminent would seem to favor pol
Icles that would lead to free spend
Ing accompanied by what might be
termed controlled initiation. The
other group expects people to be
CAUTIOUS and unwilling to spend their
accumulated savings. What will
happen probably will be determined
" the extent and promptness with
which civilian industry absorbs the
millions Of men being discharged
rom war industries, those Temporal
lily Idle, and the discharged men
rom the armed services.
The committee for economic de-
telopment has issued a report which
lives business mems estimates Of
postwar markets for manufactured
;oods. These estimates are Opt.
nlstic. The committee points out
hat the postwar years can roughly
&c divided into three periods: first,
short period OF reconyerslon, which
nay last through 1916; second, from
1916 or early 10i7, for year Of
deferred orders, and the last, period
# self-sustainlng.
Although Secretary Anderson In.
dlcated that meat rationing was on
the way out, possibly matter of
months, storage stocks are relatively
low, and II Is expected that the
strong demands for meats will be
maintained long enough to absorb
he rather heavy movement of cattle
aud hogs that is anticipated during
he fall and early winter months
Range conditions have been excel
ent, and cattle men report that the
ranchers are In a mood to carry
larger than normal supplies Of range
cattle over winter rather than to sell
them at substantial discounts now.

NOW FOR THE
TELEPHONE JOB AT HOME

The big war telephone job is nearly done. Now
we can turn to the big telephone job here at home
the job of reconverting and constructing for
peacetime telephone service
We have long way to 60 to catch up with the
demand for telephone service More than 100000
people are waiting for US to furnish them tele-
phones Serving them will require millions of
dollars worth of new equipment. Poles must be
set Wires must be strung. Miles of cables must
be laid. Switchboards and dial equipment must
be made and installed
Big jobs complicated jobs-take time. But
telephone factories are turning as rapidly as
possible from war to peacetme production Tele-
phone people are eager for the job of putting new
equipment to work. And soon, we hope, other
skilled telephone men and women will be return
ing from the armed forces to help with the task
Some of the FAC, 900 who are waiting for tele-
phones will get service soon. n Others espec-
tally in cities where telephone facilities must be
expanded, the wait may still be many months.
AS new equipment can be installed those who are
waiting will be served in their proper order.
You may be sure that all our efforts are aimed
at making the wait just as short as possible.
y We're working as hard to that end as we worked

cations equipment
