Well have q stake. A stake that'll help us to
make up for all the time I've been away.
And we'll have something else, too-something
that we wouldn't want to be without. Between my
fighting and your buying, we'll have the knowledge
that we both toed the line and did our share
So buy those Bonds, honey. And hang onto them.
Till the day when get back-its up to you!

Jewish Merchonts in South Must
Stop Practices of Discriminating
Against Negroes in Their Stores
BY Geo. L. Lee

gence as we'll as to the pocketbook
of not being allowed to try on the
hat of their choice before purchase;
or why they have separate rooms
in which to try on a dress-if the
store policy is that liberal.
On the other hand, the small
business man among the southern
white leans over backward to please
in certain lines, such as the gaso-
line station, the auto parts store;
but not the hamburger and hot dog
stand or the ice cream parlor-
unless you're taking it out.
In the first place, Negroes in the
South should have solved certain
things relating to trade with
whites, whether Jewish or cracker"
long ago and in solving these
things, the boycott is the best eco
nomlc weapon available.
Too many Negroes break their
collective necks getting into places
where they must make their pur-
chases on the hoof, so to speak, and
eat their dinner on the corner if
they are lucky enough to be served
sandwich and a cup of coffee.
Negro business should have adj
vanced much farther than it has in
the South because of the inequali-
ties that exist there because of
color.
Where privilege is denied, Negro
enterprise should and must flourish
both as an economic necessity and
as evidence of race pride and dig
nifty.
To return to Jewish-Negro re-
lationships, it can be truthfully
said that many ideas have been
sifted over the bowl of tolerance
in the past ten years that are that
much to the good for both races.
But many things will have to
take place before a complete under
standing between these two min
ority American people can have the
unity and understanding necessary
for an all-out frontal assault on the
intolerance and un-Americanism
that keeps both races shackled be-
fore the bar of world justice, peace
and opportunity.
The disciples of unity must
preach their message in all parts Of
the land, instead of in safe" places
in the North.
A revival of the abolitionish
spirit of 1858 must come about so
that the fight may be intensified
to the point where gains will come
more quickly and where the fruits
of the toll may be seen sooner.
AS minorities, Jews and Negroes
must get together and those of the
Jews who violate the racial bonds
of common interests now being
established must be publicly de-
nounced and decried.

Editor: l have just finished read
ing your paper. We very seldom
see papers here in our section. They
are not sold in our post exchange,
and therefore the only ones we get
are hand-me-downs from some Of
the officers. My wife sends me
your paper and really get a
great amount of joy out of reading
about my friends and buddies in
the service, also the different func-
lions around our home town. The
men in my squadron enjoy reading
the papers that l receive as much
as l do.
Iwant to tell you about the prog
ress our own men are making at
this particular field. There were
sixteen radio men shipped to this
station last April. We were the
first Negroes to be put on the line
as radio mechanics on the different
aircraft they have here. There
were signs placed in all the offices
and rest rooms on the line, No Ne
groes Allowed.
We had to walk two miles to our
barracks to a rest room. We
weren't allowed in the main post
exchange or any other public places
on the field. We were only given
seats in the show if it wasn't filled.
Now those things are changed
through our efforts and yours. We
are allowed anywhere on the post.
We have fellows driving and taking
care of the radio equipment on the
communications tower, airplane
mechanics in the maintenance
hangar and crew chiefs on different
work shifts. am in charge of my
shift in the radio department at
the post line maintenance hangar.
/ have four white soldiers under me
and they are all from the south.
They resented the idea of working
under a Negro, but after they I'M
derstand that our Negro soldiers
are as intelligent as they are if not
more so, they don't mind taking
orders from US and working with
us. The efforts that are put forth
by different organizations in our
behalf are not going for naught.
We appreciate your efforts and also
others even though we are unable
as individuals to thank you. All
we ask is that you and the folks
back home trust and believe in us
and pray for US, and we will in
return show by our actions what
we can do as we have in the past
and hope to in the future.
If it is possible l would like to
have the addresses of some of the
boys overseas, l would like very
much to contact them, especially
very good friend of mine, 1t.

Relationships between Negroes
and Jews are improving in one
respect and in another they are
worse, and reason for such state
ment is found in the South where
Jewish-owned stores and business
enterprises fall right in line with
the prevailing system Of Jim Crow
and discrimination toward Negro
customers.
Negroes who live in certain large
southern cities, notably Baltimore,
Washington, and one or two others,
tell disheartening stories of large
Jewish-owned department stores,
etc, which bar Negro patronage
and who, in some instances, seem to
outstrip even the traditional hos
tility toward Negroes of the south
ern white men in an apparent ardor
to impress that they are one in
intent and spirit with the southern
white in denying Negroes the
chance to spend their money on a
basis of equality.
The Negroes who are acquainted
with the peculiar situation are the
ones who are not sure of the Jew
ish position toward the Negro at
all, despite all the talk that is heard
in the North from Jewish leaders
and the printed matter that finds
it's way into the Negro press via re-
leases and planted" magazine
articles.
With these Negroes, the excuse
that the Jew who discriminates is
mot representative" of the "for-
ward thinking" element among the
Jews does not hold water.
They contend that the Jews are
a minority people as are Negroes
and if kinship is mutual in prob
lens arising out of this minority
status, then common cause should
unite both people in stamping out
unfair practices in all ranks of the
racial lineups.
In the same line of reasoning,
Negroes ought not to excuse those
Negroes who practice or talk anti
anything, whether it be anti-Semi-
tism, anti-Italian, anti-Irish, or
anti-Polish.
To set apart the owner of huge
modern mail order house with
branch establishments throughout
the country, including the principal
cities of the South and allow him
to join in depressing the Negro
because of his status in the business
world is a fallacious line of reason
ing and must be treated promptly
before more harm is done.
1t is a fact that the southern
white man has established a code
for treatment of Negro patrons of
his stores in his native habitat.
That is why you find the big
name haberdasher denying the Ne
gro customer the right to try on
suit of clothes or a hat before
purchase; why Negro women must
endure the insult to the intelli-

THE IRON MAJOR OPENING SUNDAY
 A5 CApIT0L'S BILL

Giving the versatile Pat OBrien one of his finest roles, The Iron Major stars the Irish screen fav- orite in the life of the late Major Frank Cavanaugh, one of the na- tion's foremost gridiron mentors. This feature is at the Capitol Sun day for a three day run.
 Cavanaughs' action in enlisting in the Army during World War I, despite his age and his family re- responsibilities, because of his con- viction that man should fight for what he thought right, carries an in- spring message to every American today. And it was for the purpose of bringing that message to the pub lie that the picture was made.
 Told in simple but forceful style, "The Iron Major" is said to be one of the seasons most memorable films as we'll as a great vehicle for it's star. Ruth Warrick plays the role of Cav's loyal wife, Robert Ry- an that of the sympathetic Father Donovan and Leon Ames portrays Gays lifelong friend, Bob Stewart, with important supporting roles handled by Russell Wade, Margaret Landry, Frank shannon, Richard Martin and Bruce Edwards.

The annual Spring Concert, given last night in the High School gymnasium by the Boys and Girls Glee Clubs and the Band, under the direction of Mrs Forrest N. Pitts and G. E. Pancheau, was per- haps one of the best musical en- tertainments ever given by the participating organizations.
 The gymnasium was crowded to standing room only and most en- thusiastic applause was given the combined numbers as well as the selections presented by the soloists of the evening.
 The panorama setting, with the girls in pretty evening costumes, the bandsmen in uniforms and others in street attire, with good lighting, gave the concert an added inspiration.

FLOATING (ANNERY
 REPORTED RESCUED
 AT HARB0R ISLAND

A small floating cannery, which Tuesday night was reported aground on Harbor Island, near the entrance to Tracy Arm, in Stephens Passage, is now stated to be out of danger by the office of the Captain of the Port, U. s. Coast Guard, here.
 The floating cannery, a hand packing plant previously used for canning crab and clans at Hoonah, was purchased last fall from the o. H. Wood Canning Co., by Martin Feist and John Olson, of Juneau. It is constructed aboard a 60-foct, non- powered scow, and has been tied up here at the. Small Boat Harbor during the past winter. 1t is planned that the plant will be operated at Port Houghton, near Cape Fanshaw, this summer, and was being lowed to its base when it went aground.
 The waters around Harbor Island are considered very treacherous and the floating plant was in imminent hazard of total loss when first re- ports of its plight were received here in message dispatched late Tuesday from Five Finger Light Station to the Coast Guard office here. The message was sent by the captain of the vessel Ocean Queen, which was enroute to Ju- neau on it's regular mail run be- tween Juneau and Petersburg.
 The Coast Guard patrol vessel co 571 was immediately dispatched to the assistance of the grounded craft, with auxiliary crew and pumping equipment aboard. Yes terday afternoon, the co 571 re- ported to the office of the Captain of the Port here that the cannery craft was mo longer in danger. , It is presumed that she is again enroute to Port Houghton.
