H0EY AWARDS CONFERRED
ON White AND
NEGRO lAYMEN

NEW YORK, Nov. 6 (ANP)-|
The south holds out great promise
in the field of interraciai justice,
the Rev. John LaFarge, S. j., chap
plain of the Catholic Interracial
council, declared at the fourth an
nual presentation of the James J.
Hoey awards for Interracial JUS
tice at the Carroll club here. Recip-
tents of the 1945 awards were Paul
D. Williams, of Richmond, Va,
vice president of the National
Council of Catholic men; and Rich
mond Barthe, of New York, dis
tinguished Catholic Negro sculp-
tor.
Presentation of the awards,
which are given each year to the
Catholic Negro and white laymen
who have done most during the
year to promote interracial justice,
was made by the Most Rev. Vim
cent S. Waters, bishop of Raleigh,
N. C. Speakers included Charles A
Birmingham, president of the
Catholic Interracial council, which
sponsors the awards; and A. Philip
Randolph, international president,
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Por-
ters.

LaFarge told an assembly of SOC

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Nov. g.
(ANP)-Atty. Gen. Tom Watson
advised Secretary of State R. A.
Gray that supervisors of registra-
ton in Florida counties must permit
Negroes to register as Democrats
and vote in the party primaries.
The secretary of state had passed
on to the attorney general a request
by the Highlands county supervisor
on the point.
The Florida supreme court last
year ruled that Negroes could not
be barred as Democratic party reg
istrants on the basis of race and
color.

tice. If we do not do SO under our
northern conditions, with our alb
sence Of legal restrictions, our free
dom from oppression and mob psy-
chology, we will have failed in our
duty to the rest of the country. We
have not the duty to admonish any
others but ourselves, but we have
the very urgent duty to set the ex-
ample in our own lives that may be
an encouragement and inspiration
not only in the south but through
out the world"

and worse conditions which we
found are the marine CORPS"
Granger noted. He talked about
three Negro battaions which had
not been given real opportunity
to engage in the combat for which
they had been trained. The con-
struction battalions (Seabees) on
the other hand, were, in his opin-
ion,> the worse offenders of naval
policy.
He disclosed that he is taking up
with Forrestal the case of the As
Negro servicemen convicted of
rioting on the island of Guam last
Dec. "a when outbreaks occurred
with white personnel. Mathew Bull
lock, chairman of the Massachu-
setts State Parole commission, in
spected the records of the court of
inquiry, he said, and took mo ex-
ception" to the technical conduct
of the trial but, Granger said, nit
igating factors had not been taken
into consideration.
Asked about the insinuations of
the NAACP that he was "the tool''
of the navy, Granger reduced the
charge to question as to whether
the navy is honest and whether he
as an observer, is competent.
81 think the answer to the first
is in the report I have given,
Granger declared. Regarding my
own capability and wisdom, you
have to determine whether l an
a competent social worker anc
whether the techniques / have ap
piled are such as to bring out the
truth; and whether my experience
as sensitive Negro and former
serviceman in the last war and on,
consistently working for improve
ment stands up under examina
tion."
Granger said that Adm. Chester
w. Nimitz, commander in chief o.
the U. S. Pacific fleet, gave an un
hesitating yes'' to his inquiry abou
the use of Negroes in all branche,
of service in the postwar navy. H,
told Granger that if he would pre-
pare recommendation and sub
nit it to him he would endorse i
on the basis of the experience il
the use of Negroes in World Wa
II.

GRANGER Tells F0RRE5TAL
WHAT NAVY NEEDS
BY Ernest E. Johnson


WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 (ANP)
The navy will best serve it's own
ends if in the utilization of Ne
groes it avoids any special ap-
preach" but rather continues to
pursue sound policies of racial re-
lations and efficiency, Lester B.
Granger told Navy Secy. James V.
Forrestal.
Granger, executive secretary of
the National Urban league, was
making preliminary report to the
secretary on his observations ac-
quired on a 81 day tour of Pacific
bases as Forrestaps special repre-
sentative. The party, which includ-
ed five other persons, both Negro
and white, left California on Sept
26 and returned to the states on
Oct. 81.
At press conference here
Granger stated that progress to.
ward actual practice of the navy's
official racial policy in the Pacific
lags far behind standards set or
the mainland. We found examples
of both excellent and deplorable
policies in the command of Negro
personnel" he added.
eve found that where serious
trouble-spots were discovered, they
were the result of inept or racially
preJudiced officer leadership; thai
the morale and the performance Of
Negro servicemen compared fav'
orably with that of white except
in situations where racial discrim
ination existed, or was believed tt
exist. Suspicion of racial discrim
ination invariably affected the jol
performance and the spirit of Ne
gro personnel" Granger said.
The views advanced by the we'll
known social worker were baset
upon conversations held first will
commanding officers of bases tt
which Negroes have been assigned
and later with Negro personne

His comments covered relation
ships both between white officer
and enlisted personnel, and whit
and Negro enlisted personnel.
Granger talked in terms Of spe
cific instances of good and bad
spots in the general picture as h
found it. Certain situations, h
said, definitely manifested tn
need for careful selection of off

MISTLETOE-This plant is prob
ably more closely associated with
the frivolous side of Christmas than
any other, but originally it was
symbolic Of serious and sacred mat
ters. There are many legends con-
corning it, The white berries are
said to be the radiance caught from
the guiding star when the Wise Men
made their gifts to the Christ Child.
They symbolic purity and peace
According to Morse legend, the plant
is sacred and must never touch the
earth, hence our custom of hanging
it high at Chris IS. The monks of
the monasteries termed it, THE
Wood Of the Cross" and attributed
to it supernatural powers. Among
the Druids, in ancient Britain, the
gathering of this plant was a sacred
ceremony. The early English name
of mistletoe was all-heal or guidhel
and it was credited with protective
and curative powers in homes where
it was hung. There is an appealing
Scandinavian myth concerning it.
which is, too long to include here
but which you would much enjoy If
you will take the time to look it UP
in your local library. The plant
was so revered and cherished by the
Scandinavians of old that If enemies
met beneath it in forest, they dis
armed and kept a truce until the
next day.

Philodendron
Nice Vine

When we speak of philodendron
we usually refer to the one common
ly grown by florists and known as
P. cordatum. It Is fine, husky
grower which demands and receives
little care. 1t seem content to grow
in some dark corner which might
otherwise be forlorn.
Use a potting mixture of one part
loan, one port leaf mold and one
part sand. Supply ample drainage
and plenty of water. A warm spot
with sufficient humidity will increase
the size and vigor of the plants.
They do not require sun, so north
window is adequate but an east one
will not be too warm in winter. The
vines need support. They can be
trained with care to form lovely
green frame for other house plants.
There are two other lovely forms
Of philodendron-nttle grown, so
little known. One, P. devansayea-
mum, comes from Peru. It has long
pointed, heart-shaped leaves 1920
inches long. When young the foli-
age is red. The other Is P. verru-
cosum. It has oval or heart-shaped
leaves. They are 8 inches long and
6 inches wide, green above and
salmon pink on the underside. The
leaf stalk is red and hairy.
AS you can readily see they are
very different from the one COM
monty grown but Of great interest
to persons who like to try new
things.

soil on top is moist. Or the pots
may be put in deep container or
each pot into a larger pot with
all the spaces between the two con-
tainers filled with peat moss which
is kept we'll moistened at all times.
The latter requires less time each
day, but the writer has had greater
success by using the first method.
1t must be admitted that some few
people who raise beautiful violets
always water the plants from the
top, but it is hard to do without
getting some water on the leaves,
which causes decay, and without
perfect drainage there is danger of
crown rot.
Steadiness of temperature is an
other factor in success. Sixty or
TO degrees does not seem important,
but very little fuctuation and no
drafts, although fresh air is good.
The leaves may not be washed,
but they may be gently brushed
with very soft brush to rid them
Of dust.
No plant food need be added if
the violets are repotted about every
six months.
Although pink and white African
violets have been developed, SO far
they seem to lack the sturdiness
and rich beauty of the lavender
and purple ones which were first
introduced.
African violets, more property
called Saintpaulia, blend well with
wax begonias. Combine ferns, ivy or
philodendron and the begonia called
Pink Pearl with the lovely blues OF
the African violet and a charming
window garden will be complete.

Christmas Plant Legends
By the Master Gardener

the holly also date back to the
Druids, who believed the evergreen
leaves of the holly were proof that
the sun never deserted it and it was
therefore sacred. Legend also says
that the crown of thorns was COM
posed of holly and that before the
cruclf1xlon the berries were white,
but turned crimson, like drops of
blood, afterward. .
CHRISTMAS ROSE-Legend says
that young shepherd girl was weep
ing bitterly as she watched the Wise
Men on their way to take gifts to
the Christ Child. An angel ap-
peared, and after ascertaining why
the young girl was crying, she waved
her wand, and instantly the ground
was carpeted with glistening white
Christmas roses. The young girl
quickly gathered some blossoms
When she presented her gift, the
Christ Child smiled, and as his fin
gers touched the white flowers the
petals became tinged with pink.
POINSETTIA-A little Mexican
waif on Christmas eve had no gift
to take to the cathedral, SO not
wishing to enter empty-handed, she
picked a weed along the roadside
and climbed the steep path to the
church. She knelt and laid her gifts
on the altar, and as she rose to &c
she saw that the poor little weet
was transformed into the poinsettia
or the flor de la noche- -buena, OF
flower of the nativity, as is called
in Mexico.
The girl who receives no kisse.
under the mistletoe will not marry
that year.
Whoever brings the Christmas
holly into the house first, either
husband or wife, is the one who will
rule the ensuing year.

this autnor knows well a plant that
has grown and bloomed abundantly
for over five years. A plant grown
from the leaf of it is now two years
old, has leaf spread of 10 inches,
and has been constantly In bloom
for eight or nine months.
Lovers Of the African violet prop
agate it in two ways. In either
case leaf is cut from a plant that
is sturdy, Of good color, and that
flowers well. Leave stem about 2
inches long. Put this in pot of
light sandy soil-half sand and half
peat moss is an excellent medium
Bury the stem up to the petiole-
the place where the stem and leaf
join. Keep the soil warm and moist
Some like to cover the pot with a
glass fruit jar or jelly glass. 1t
isn't necessary, however. Keep the
pot in light but not sunny place.
After roots are formed new leaves
will appear. If you have kept it
covered, remove the cover and re-
pot it. Choose 3-inch pot and fill
it with leaf mold. OF course, you
may use a mixture Of equal parts
sand, peatmoss and garden soil
The other method is to root the
cutting in water.
Keep the plant now in a sunny
window. For success an east win
dow is found best in winter; a north
one in summer. African violets like
light but not the hot direct rays OF
the sun.
The plant should never be al
lowed to dry out. The soil should
always be little damp. Either OF
two systems may be followed. Or
the average of every other day the
potted plants may be set in a par
Of warm water and left until the
