Several Negro

Twin City fans, hungry for Race
baseball attractions, have a feast
in store for them. In the starter of
an attractive program planned for
the entire summer, the New Or
leans Black Pelicans, prides of the
south, and the st. Louis Stars, for
many years one of the nations
best, clash under the lights at Lex
ington Park, st. Paul, Friday night
(June y, starting at 8 p. m.
The teams will then remain over
and play a double-header Sunday
afternoon, June 8, starting at 1870,
at Nicollet Park, Minneapolis.
This promises to be a most ex-
citing and thrilling series, and fans
are urged to attend both shows in
order to keep the top Negro teams
coming this way. This can only
be done if the fans show the teams,
by their presence, they want to
see these games played all season

that is where you discover how &C.
centric Hollywood is.
The very good reason you never
saw Road to Utopia" is that, while
it was completed two years ago, it
still is on shelf or in cabinet or
some other kind of container at
Paramount. Despite all that build
up, dither of excitement whipped
up by Paramount's press depart
ment, the picture simply has not
been released.
At least, not in this country has
it been released. Large and en-
thusiastic audiences are reported to
have seen it in England. Here,
however, the customers have been
limited merely to the excitement of
the publicity. 1t is an old, forgotten
excitement of which not even an
echo is left.
Those publicity chaps who wore
out their brains and worked their
bodies to tattered remnants of
their earlier selves can get ready
to do it all over again. Their first
efforts were entirely in vain.
If they are looking for an in
spiration for a new campaign, an
inspiration they probably will need
desperately. the boss probably can
find one for them.
1t appears that the delay in the
pictures release is a break for Doro-
thy Lamour. Miss Lsmour is des-
tined shortly to become a mother
and while she is occupied with the
fulfillment of her biological destiny,
Road to Utopia" will be filling
up the time during which her pub
lie might otherwise forget her.
That was not Paramount's idea
two years ago. Patiently it could
not have been. But 1t could not
have worked out better for Miss L.,
no matter how hard it may have
been upon the publicity depart
ment.

On Friday evening, just after
theater goers had gone home, the
fire department was called out for
a fire which had smouldered in the

was on the main floor of the build

discovered by Jeanne Purcell, had
made little Roadway until air was

For Post War
Employment

1t is the responsibility of bust
ness enterprise to translate market
opportunities into employment and
production, President Roosevelt
said in his recent budget message,
and the public generally, and bust
aessnien in particular will unhesr
itatingly agree with the statement.
Business has long recognized its
responsibility for translating mar
ket opportunities into production
and jobs, and has long since taken
steps to carry out its obligation. The
fact is that what the President said
in a general way, industry already
had said in detail when it pledged
itself to initiate "a process Of pros
perity' in the postwar era. BY in
creaslng production, by lowering
prices to increase consumption, and
by maintaining high wages to raise
the buying power of employees, in
dustry will activate its pledge.
For employment and production
do not make up the full process
of prosperity" Without sufficient
consumption, the things we make
will gather dust and rot in ware
houses. Since industry's war record
leaves no question of its ability 10
increase production to any level
necessary, the question Of consump-
ton becomes all-important, 1t is
just as necessary to increase the
opportunity for all to buy as it is
to increase the opportunity for all
to have jobs and earn.
So industry proposes to take def
mite steps to increase the opportuni-
ties for all to buy, after victory is
won. First Of these is to put on the
market the finest products that can
be made at the lowest prices for

I've had a wonderful life,
wrote a prominent Englishman last
week and then proceeded to shoot
himself to death. He was Major
Arthur Corbett-Smith, prolific au.
thor and one-time stage director.
He further said, ''I've finished my
life's work and have seen its tri-
umphs, but loathed old age and SO
decided to end a life that he felt
had no further reason to continue.
In the statement he left, he advo-
Gated that all people at the age of
so should be put to sleep in a lethal
chamber unless they can show that
their continued existence would
benefit the community.
One can easily understand how a
person can be impelled to self-mur-
der when life has been failure or
when it is weighted down with trou-
bles and heart-break. But self-mur-
der is more difficult to understand
in one who says he has had won
derful life and had seen its tri-
umphs.
However, this mans act discloses
a weakness and false reasoning in
his conception of life and its re-
sponsibilities. Evidently he helu to
the belief that man is merely a SUI
perior animal and that when his
usefulness is done he should be
painlessly put away.
That's a cold, grindstone philoso-
ply Of life. 1t smacks Of what we
have been told is one of the cardinal
beliefs of the nazis-execute the
aged, the crippled, the handicapped
ones. A life that had really been
filled with accomplishment and
success should be able to gather out
of life's experiences rich memories
to soften and enliven the declining
years. And furthermore. one who
has lived an active and useful life
should certainly enjoy quietly sit
ting on the sidelines and watching
the continued struggles Of mankind
on the worlds stage from day to
day.
This mans self-murder smacks of
cowardice. He disliked and feared
old age. He would not face all of
life and what it could bring.
