EARL'S SERVICE STATION

Earl Cawthorne, operator of
Earl's Service Station, Houston
Texas, touring the west coast, by
passed Los Angeles, the southern
metropolis, and decided that Seat
tie, Wash, the Queen City. was
his Eureka.
Quickly discerning that Seattle
with its vast opportunities in the
business world was a verdant
field, he purchased and began the
operation of Earl's Service Sta
ton, 1900 Main Street.
AS the owner and operator of
Earls Service Station, 1O1 West
Dallas, Houston, Texas, for IT
years, Cawthorn is an expert in
repairing and servicing every
make of known cars.
His work soon attracted the
public and in less than two years
has increased his business two
fold. Although four expert me-
chanics have been added to his
force, he personally supervises all
work, as it must bear the stamp
of his approval.
Cawthorn still owns and oper-
ates his Houston service station.

been trained without being segre-

Three days earlier. however,
Mai. Gen. Norman r. Kirk, Sur

bur that 1t does not mix them.
Where we have Negro troops
we use Negro nurses. but up to
now we haven't used them for
white troops. We don't house
Negroes and Whites together"
Which of these two statements
is one to take as gospel?

cording to Mabel Staupers, head

THE IMMUTABLE
LAW OF CAUSE
AND EFFECT
BY DR.. JOHN X. LARREMORE
Meta-psychoIoeist

Negroes should realize that 1t is
about time for them to stop beg
ging the white man for economic
opportunity. 1t is still the moral
obligation of the white man to in
spire Negroes with the courage to
create their own opportunities; to
see that all competition is fair.
When Negroes bemoan their
lack of opportunity to progress.
the white man feels Justified in
pointing to the thousands of other
dark-skinned people in the U. s.
A., who face almost the same diff
ficulties as Negroes. yet these non
Negro colored people have reached
sufficiently high economic status
to be respected, if not welcome
units of the social structure.
Negroes must become producers
and at the same time effect safe
guards to their production against
plundering. Whether the plumber
er be white or black does not enter
in the case; neither does the ques-
ton as to whether the productive
individual be black or white.
