when the very object of our search
is right In our midst. Concrete
proof and evidence Of this is now
before us-a valiant soldier for
Christ, who performed gioriouaIy

Just a plain. bare recital pf actual
facts connected with her life IN
vanished by glamor, unbiased by
friendship or admiration. would a.
maze even many who thought they
knew her, while to many OILERS it
would be almost unbelievable.
In reviewing her life, we find it
fairly teeming with superIatives
and the word MOST must necessar-
lily occur so often as to become al
most monotonous. Thus: the most
faithful member ethel Church has
ever known; the ~staunchest support
ed of The Community Center; the
foremost advocate and exponent Df
economic independence. continually
urging us to stand on our own feet
and to do for ourselves rather than
to be continually seeking aid from
our Caucasian friends for our var
ious projects. More Negroes in our
community have acquired or are
now paying for homes due to her
insistent preaching of thrift than
to any other influence I know. The
most unselfish, giving lavishly of
her time, means and energy to the
unfortunate; the most t~ireless wor-
ker; the los thrifty and the most
efficient manager. The most pa
tient and long-suffering, yet, when
necessary, the most militant in de-
Tense of her convictions; the most
perfect example of implicit trust in
the Almighty. Personally. more
than once l have sought to remon-
strate with her about taking on
additional charitable responsibility

her waning vitality and her reduce
ed earning capacity. And always
the same reply: 'the Lord will pro-
vide a way. He has never failed
me. Just put your hand in Gods
hand and everything will come out
alright. Sum it all us: the most
powerful influence for good in the
community our group has ever
known.
Last but one of the OLD GUARD
which organized Bethel Church IN
1904, she was a member for mora
than 40 years. For more than 80
years she was Choir Director. For
an even longer period she vas a
Stewardess. At various times she
also served as a Trustee and also as
a Glass Leader. Thus. a tireless
worker in the Masters vineyard. a.

workers than ever before in our
history have had decent jobs at fair
wages. These men and per
haps more than any other group in
our society, have a stake in main
tanning the kind Of stability which
will make possible full peacetime
employment and production.
AS consumers they must be pro
tected against increases in the cost
of their food. their clothing, their
household furnishings. n in
many cases the homes they have.
dreamed of buying. AS workers,
they must be protected against the
s~piralling of prices and costs which
inevitably ends in business collapse,
unemployment. bread lines, and the
interracial friction and intolerance
which feed on insecurity.
All of us, every delegate here, all
the members of your huge organic
alton have a stake in the success Of
our common HdllOHdl ellOII " P1O
mote the economic stability essen
tial to a free and prosperous world
Your officers have fully recognize
ed their responsibility for giving
their support to this national effort
In his second official Proclama-
ton for the year DR.. ]. Finley Will
son.. Grand Exalted Ruler of the
Elks made the following statement
to more than 500 900 men n WON
ems auxiliaries members of the
Order.
Price control, rent control and
rationing have saved us from in
flation and panic thus far. In the
economic scramble Immediately af-
ter the war we must demand price
control and rent control in accord
ance with the principles Of h Of
flee Of Price Administration. We
must provide for Cost-of-Living
Committees in each lodge and tenn
pie. auxiliary to the various War
Price and Rationing Boards, to
keep down our living costs. These
Committees will furnish inform
alton to members as to illegal pric-
es or of unfair r%ationing practices"
II know that hundreds of your
Lodges and Temples have gone a
head with this program of estab-
fishing Cost-of-Living Committees
to help your Local OPA War Price
and Rationing Board in your COM
munity hold down the cost of the
necessities of life.
Everyone of US must see to it
that he never pays more than cell
ing prices or rents and that he re-
ports all illegal overcharges to his
local Board or his Area Rent Of
flee In this fight every consum-
er has a part. Initiation begins
with penny overcharges. A little
higher price here and another high
er price there becomes the trigger
of initiation with results that could
be as disastrous to our hope Of
peacetime prosperity as the atomic
bombs were to the teeming cities Of
Japan. Now that the war is owe
the need for your continued effort
is greater than ever before. We
must not, at the last moment, re-
lax our vigilance until we know for
sure hat the danger is over.
L know we can count on all of
you to keep up the fight until the
battle is won.

The head of a large heating ON
Germ recently remarked to me that
the success Of his company is large
ly the result of correcting other
peoples mistakes. What he meant
was that most of their business
came from homes which were ex-
periencing heating trouble Of n
kind or another.
A chief mistake is that of allow
ing the price rather than the ade-
quacy of the furnace to determine
ones choice. In doing so they ig-
more certain laws of heating which
must be conformed to if good re-
suits are expected. There are def
mite formulas for calculating the
capacity of a furnace in relation to
the size and type of home to be
heated, and while it does no harm
to install a furnace of o%ver-capa-
city, it does bring trouble to install
one of inadequate size. Size for
size, all furnaces run Pretty much
equal in installed cost; therefore,
when an experienced heating man
figures out the price of a correct
installation, one does not save
money by taking a smaller size
than is recommended. 1t just means
replacing the inadequate job later
on, which in effect is paying double
for ones heating plant.
The heart of your home is its
furnace, and there just isn't any
chance of having a healthy home
with an understood heart. The only
safe way is to place the matter in
the hands of a reliable heating man
who makes the selling of the fur
mace secondary to the accurate de-
termination of your homes heating
needs. He will plan your heating
system as it should be for great
est efficiency, using mathematical
calculation instead of guesswork,
and when he arrives at the correct
answer, that's what he'll stick to.
And if you also stick to his find
ings, you'll not be making a mis-
take that shall later have to be
corrected.

1t will also mean jobs for workers

stake in the Nations continuing
struggle to hold down the cost of

All of your members are consum-
ers who have been protected with
fair success thus far by the Ma

ing. For nearly four years. the
bitterest war in history exposed US

es this Nation has ever faced. But
your rents and the prices of your

stiles have been held reasonably

Many of your members are small
businessmen who have good reason
to fear the kind of inflationary
boom and collapse which took
place during and after the first
World War. They know that as a
result of that boom and collapse
thousands of businessmen lost not
only their businesses but their
shirts. Many of you can remember
that period. Some of you perhaps
were among those who lost their
shirts then. but have since started
all over again and have won back
your place in the business world.
All Of you who are businessmen
have a stake in the success of u
common effort to hold business

war but in the transition to full
peacetime production.

their relatives and friends are
small farmers. Still more thous-

red clay of the Carolinas and hoe
corn in the black soil of the Delta.
The welfare of these men and wom-
en- is to a large extent dependent
on the prices of the things they
have to buy-the clothes, the food,
the fertilizer and the farm tools
which are charged to them during
the time they are making a crop.
Price control has helped these peo-
pie hold their costs down.
Price control on the things farm
ers sell has not prevented the farm
er from greatly increasing his in

controls have further prevented
the kind of inflationary spiral
which at the end of the last war
led to disaster for thousands of
farmers who lived on or bought
farms at zealously high prices and
lost their livelihood on the auction
block of mortgage foreclosures.

have not only helped to finance the
war. They have also stored up
purchasing power. which. if it had
been spent, would have added fuel

TO ALICE DAVIS

1t has been well said: peace hath
her victories. no less than those q

found upon the battle fields. Con-
tinuing this thought, not all the
truly great are to be found in high

worthy of praise and emulation, we
often wander needlessly far afield.
