Birth OF Nation
Film Protested
By New Workers

NEW YORK.-The NAACP has
demanded immediate withdrawal
OF the batting Aim, Birth OF
a Nation" being shown now by
the New York Museum OF Modern
Art. In a wire protesting use OF
the Aim banned 30 years ago, Roy
wilkins, acting secretary. said:
National Association for the Ad-
vancement OF Colored People Wig
orously protests showing OF Birth
Of Nation under any etext
whatsoever.
This Aim was ordered with
drawn by City OF New York in
1918 and has been barred by city
councils. mayors, and even state
legislatures in many sections OF
the country because it stirs racial
prejudice and hatred and has been
judged TO be an inciter Of vio-
lence. AT this time when America
and the world are fighting racial
bigotry and attempting 10 build
mutual respect and unity between
peoples, Museum OF Modern Art
should not interfere by showing OF
this film. We have received pro-
tests from indignant Negro SOL
diers and sailors and from some
whites who have seen Aim at the
museum recently. We demand i'm

WAYNE COUNTY
DENIS. FEARFUL
OF NEGRO VOTE.

The color question came to Lam
sing last week when Democrats
from Detroit voiced their objec.
tions to the Constitutional Amend
ment Joint Resolution now before
the legislature.
The resolution provides for sepa-
rate districts for Detroit members
instead Of the present bloc Of IL.
Negro Representatives
The Democrats claimed that II
might mean two colored represen-
tatives from Detroit, this despite
the fact that more than two-thirds
Of the Negro votes in Wayne county
are strictly democratic. Neverthe-
less. the party spokesman do not
favor them for office.
According to Representative e.
ton r. Eaton. who introduced the
joint resolution, the CLIO members
are more in accord with the meas
ure and with all Republican men,
bers present, the resolution should
pass the House.
% Fear Defeat
Eaton said that the opposition to
the amendment as expressed by
Michael O'Brien, Is based entirely
upon the fact that there would be
two or three districts in Detroit
that would elect colored citizens
to the legislature. He said that
O'Brien had told him personally
that in the district set up for his
section of the city, he would not
be able to beat colored candi-
date.
81 believe" Eaton said "it would
be far better for Detroit to elect
its representative by districts in
just the same way they elect their
state senators and congressman: II
some Of the districts should have
more colored voters than they do
white voters and prefer to elect
one of their own race to the legis-
lature. that is their right and we
should not deprive them of IL"

AMERICAN AVOCET.

&1LNCAt4SIA4N NNSG4s
(RecurUiroStra dnericanG.l
Avocets are said to be the most
snowy North American shore birds
They divide their time by spending
their summers with us and their
winters in Southern Guatemala
Some do remain in Southern Cali
fornia and Southern Texas.
Avocets are conspicuous because
Of their white body and black-and-
white striped wings. They are
about Is inches long. They stand
on long, slender blue shanks and
possess very long black bills. Add
ed to this combination, they have
a loud voice. If one approaches the
nest, their screams of alarm can be
heard for some distance. Natural
ly, this defeats the avocet, since
the hiding place is usually revealed
to hunters and others.
The nest is skimpy affair, placed
in a depression close to the water,
and lined with grass and weedstems.
The or 4 eggs of olive or buff color
are spotted with burnt umber and
other shades of brown.
These birds are extremely useful
to the farmer. They police the wa
ters for diving beetles, which are
destroyers of insects needed for fish
food in hatcheries.
1t is interesting to watch avocets
pretend they are wounded in order
to protect the nest or the young.
They also have a habit of landing
some distance from the nest, then
bobbing and waving their wings in
fascinating fashion.
Young avocets are clever at hid
ing and obey instantly the order
from their mother to do so. After
danger has passed, they are again
gathered under her wings.
Because this bird is most sought
after for it's delicious flavor, its
number has been greatly decreased.
Today, it is most abundant west of
the Mississippi.
