Ferguson had been with FILA

had he been responsible for the in

of FILA which operated against the
interests of Negroes, he has also
publicly stated his views which have
since found their way into the Con-

Last October Perry collected
number of these specifications and,

sent them to President Roosevelt.

Poisoned Vote Bait

The plain, unadulterated bunk that is be-
ing peddled today by so-called responsible
men in government to the effect that Con-
greSS must pass legislation that will pro-
vide jobs for all, is simply sickening. Con-
greSS might pass an emergency measure that
would employ everybody for a few months
or year or two, but neither Congress nor
the government has dime to employ any
body until it first takes it away from the
people in taxes.
If government is to furnish jobs for all
continuously, it must confiscate all property
and industry and 60 into business to earn
the money to pay to public employes-it
couldn't tax people enough to provide jobs
for all and leave anything for the tax
payer to conduct business with.

A little publicized but important

two main functions of the office

Meaning Of a Milestone

This week the Cadet Nurse Corps Of Che
u. S. Public Health Service enters its third
year with magnificent record of achieve
ment but with an awareneSS that its Job
is not yet done.
The Corps has stimulated the recruitment
of student nurses to enroll more than 900
new students in schools of nursing through
out the country, the largest enrolment in
history. These student nurses provide ap-
proximately 80 per cent of the nursing care
in hospitals where they are studying. II is
fitting that, on the second birthday of the
US. Cadet Nurse Corps, the nation pay
tribute to the contributions of this group
By being on the job when the need was
great, Cadet Nurses have helped hospitals
maintain nursing standards for civilians dur
ing time when war casualties were calling
increasingly for graduate nurses for the
armed forces. Without Cadet Nurses many
hospitals would have been forced to close
wards, to overwork dwindling graduate
nurse staffs and further to curtail nursing
care for Individual patients
These contributions have not been made
Somewhere else" They have been made
here in our own community. The increased
enrolment of student nurses in Michigan
hospitals under the Cadet Nurse Corps pro-
gram has meant that broken legs could still
be cared for, and that appendectomies could
still be done here at home, and that grad
uate nurse could be spared from hospital
to care for shrapnel shattered leg of
soldier on Two Jima.
In spite of these contributions, the nursing
shortage at home still remains critical An
additional $4,000 opportunities await quail
fled applicants for the Corps during its third
wear to help relieve this shortage.

Role Of Coal In Europe

1t is probably safe to say that not one
person in 10000 would ever think that par
alySiS of the coal industry could seriously
affect world peace. 1t has remained for
Daggett Howard, administrative executive
of the Rosenman Mission, which was sent
by our government to explore the economic
problems of the liberated areas of North
western Europe, to point out that coal is the
most critically short commodity in that part
OF the world. Not only is the needed supply
OF coal as important as the supply of food.
said Mr.. Howard, but as a pivotal product
1t is essential for the movement of almost
all foods and the processing of many of
them, and the danger of famine conditions
and disease will be greatly increased unless
an ample supply of coal is made available in
distressed localities
Coal is the key to industrial recovery in
the devastated areas and without sufficient
stocks, industry will remain Frustrated This
will mean continued widespread unemploy-
ment and the economic and other disturb
anceS that will accompany it.
Top priorities are being afforded by the
governments of liberated countries, said Mr..
Howard, for the transportation of coal and
mining equipment. Extra food is being given
to coal miners
Coal is yet to play as vital part in win
ing the peace as it did in winning the war.

Dear Sir:
I've been wanting to put in this
complaint about the Wyandotte
theatres for quite some time. It's
been quite a while now, that we
have been seeing nothing but re-
releases. It's about time that it
changes.
If We want TO see little better
picture, We go to the Rialto, and
in many peoples opinion, the Rialto
show isn't fit for the cheapest cow
boy picture.
And if you go to the Majestic
and sit up in the balcony you have
to put cotton batting in your ears.
If you sit in the first incline, you
have to take an umbrella for fear
you might get hit on the head with
a popcorn ball.
If these things could be rene
died. I'm sure the people of the
community would be proud of their
shows.
