OUR HERITAGE
BY Willie J. Miller

When it to benefits and blessings when
to opportunities and possibilities the Negroes OF the
State of Mississippi have goody heritage something we
danger of forgetting especially in view OF the fact that
there among who always finding fault with
local government We would be wiser and better cit
if Aefwould spend time in showing appreciation
of what have and less time in complaining about what
we do not have.
We should be thankful of our heritage and should try
to be worthy it, We should also try to be appreciated and
and thankful for the aid that has been given in modify
ing heritage We should think before criticize The
difference between the words think and thank only
vowel but the two words are vitality related One must
think to thank Ingratitude is always the result OF
thoughlessness.
We have received heritage from great number of
welmeanng leaders of who have passed on to
greater reward Our to the socaed problem
should be summed in the philosophy Of the great Negro
leader Booker Washington when he said occasion
while addressing mixed group AS we have proved our
loyalty to in the past in nursing your children watch
ing by the cbed OF mothers and fathers and often
following them with dmmed eyes to their graves,
in the future shall stand by you with devotion that
foreigner approach ready to lay down lives need
be- IN defense OF yours nterlacng industrial CONNER
oial civil and religious life with yours in way that shall
make the interests of both In all things that
purely social be separate as the fingers yet
the hand in all things essential to mutual progress Like
Booker T. Washington, there others who have left
great herages Their fahuness and their dreams must
not orsake We should defend and protect the heritage
which they have left Their ideal cannot be made perfect
without The heritage is not something which be
content merely to celebrate their birthdays 1t must be
lived.
There among who have allowed themselves
to be led asray by evil forces from without and within
changes in local government They seek this change
through national legislation This great mistake and will
only increase racial feelng Any change social and
political issues that might affect the Negro from
There is no real race problem in the South. There is
however, misunderstanding which exists because of few
white and coored who seeking selfish advancement and
have better weapon than the cowardy appeal to racial
prejudice

Ceiling On Early Apples
Country shipping point ceilings
for early apples of the 1916 crop
have been increased by So cents
per bushel (from $2.85 to $3.50.
OPA announced. Under this action,
retail ceilings for early apples will
be increased by about a cent and
a half a pound, OPA said. The in
crease, effective for the period
from May % through June 20, lp45,
is mandatory under the Stabilize
ton Act, which provides for ceiling
increases when yields are substan-
tally reduced by adverse growing
conditions, Storage apples of the
1914 crop are not included in this
action, OPA added.
Consumer Prospects Today

situation Is still critical and the al
location is insufficient for current
essential needs, OPA announced
The new quota is an increase Of
100000 tires over the Nav allot-
ment. A heavy backlog Of pending
applications, estimated at from $780,
600 to 100000 at the end Of NAV
low inventories, and seasonal in
crease in tire failure during the
hot weather combine to make the
new quota inadequate for the needs
OF all motorists now eligible for
new tires, the agency said.
Canning Equipment
Home canning equipment will be

wife who plans to can, preserve and
pickle the produce of her victory
garden and the still uncertain 1945
fruit crop. The War Production
Board announced that there will be
more pressure Gamers this year
than at any time since the begin
ming of the war and that in addition
considerable supply of tin cans.
Cold pack cookers of metal also
will be available in quantity. Limi-
tations in canning this year may be
due to the supply of fruit and sugar
more than to containers, it now APP
pears. The War Food Administra-
ton, however, will provide infor-
nation on canning food without
sugar. 1t is still too early to know
the size Of the fruit crop in all sec
tons of the country, but the De-
partment of Agriculture estimates
that fruit, other than citrus fruits
and apples, will be about "a per
cent of last years crop. Housewives,
by careful planning, will be able
to provide their families minimum
winter needs, it is believed. Cam
ming sugar for home use has been
limited by OPA to a maximum of

in the coming months. as manpower
and materials become available, are
the following: Table flatware and
hollow ware, aluminium cooking
utensils and kitchen ware, water
heaters, enamelware, including
pals, buckets. tubs, infants bath
tubs, dish pans and cooking ware,
carpet sweepers, hand clothes
wringers, can openers, garment
hangers, such items containing met
al as bread boxes, canister sets,
dust pans and wash boards. WPB
may permit limited production of
sewing machines in the near flu
ture. A slight improvement in the
supply of wash tubs and wash boil
ers is noted. Production of domes-
tic oil burners is being retarded
only because of lack of manpower
and materials. No great increase in
the quantity of farm machinery can
be expected for several months be-
cause of the time required to step
up production, reports WPB. The
reason more tractors are not going
to farmers and loggers despite the
high production level is that ship
ments are going to the Army and
Navy. Restrictions on motorcycle
production have been lifted.
Construction Limitations Lifted
Construction work on certain
types of buildings is permitted
without WPB authorization if the
total cost of work on unit in one
year is not greater than amounts
specified. according to an amended
limitations order announced by
WPB. Categories are somewhat diff
ferent from those formerly estab-
lished and cost ceilings have been
raised to approximately FIVE times
the former amounts. Types of build
ings and cost limits follow:
Cd One-family house, including
farmhouse, $1,000; two-family
house, $4,000; three-family house
$4,000; four-family house, $4,000,
five-family house, $4,000. These
limits apply to repair and mainten-
ance work as we'll as to alterations
and new construction.

of farmhouses, $1,000.

tenn serving more than one farm

CALIFORNIA TOWER

Beautiful and characteristic, the
tower OF the California Building at
San Diego tells the story of a race
that ran it's course before Europeans
saw TINS continent. Recalling, too,
and the coming of the first Califor-
mia settlers, it emphasizes the gold
en- legends that were carried back
to the Old World. If there was no
gold in the streets, there was plenty
IN the hills. America has made
good many times over the tallest
tales ever told about it's riches. That
it may continue to grow and pros
per, our men are battling through
out the world. So, too, everyone on
the home front can help insure the
future by buying more War Bonds
to back our fighting men on land
ana e and to save for postwar
progress and security.
