County Saves
$500 On
Bond Costs

The opposition Of County
Treasurer William G.. Miller to
the county providing short-term
bonds for township treasurer's
handling school district taxes -
an innovation authorized under
new state law-was backed
by the County Board of Super
visors Wednesday when Millers
position was endorsed by Prose
cutor Wilbur F. Held in a writ
ten opinion.
The action, planned to dis.
pense with purchase of the
rt-term bonds, will enable
the county to save approximate
ly $4,000 in bond costs, accord
ing to an estimate of Miller and
County Controller Sherwood j.
Bennett.
Miller had contended that in
asmuch as most treasurers are
well-bonded; that they are only
allowed to hold up to Is per
cent of their tax levy before
turning 1t in, and that most
school funds 90 direct to the
school boards themselves, Ma
comb County should not be sad
died with the burden of extra
bond costs.
The issuance of short term
bonds for local treasurers would
have boosted the county's bond
premium costs from $1,000 to
about $4,000 annually, Miller
estimated at first. He later ap-
preached bond companies and
they promised to reduce this cost
substantially.
After studying the law pro-
viding for short-term bonds,
Prosecutor Held advised the
supervisors that present bonds of
local treasurers are sufficient if
the township supervisor and
treasurer will agree to a speci-
fled amount. Miller has asked
the cooperation of supervisors
in submitting to him their writ
ten agreement as to the amount
of bonds, and no short-term
bonds will therefore be provided
by the county.

CENTER LINE SAILOR FREE AT LAST
Survives SINKING Jap Captivity

provised radio and managed to
send messages which were pick
ed up by United States authori-
ties. Word went to the Center
Line family that Vanneste was
alive and a Jap prisoner.
CPO Vanneste was liberated
at Allied forces on Sept. 10, and
his physical condition was de-
scribed as fair. From his normal
weight of 225 lbs at the time
of his capture, the heavily-buiit
sailor had dropped to 1873 los
when freed. Medical authorities
immediately took charge of his
case and he was reported to be
progressing in health.
At the time he wrote his fam
lily he was on Guam awaiting
transportation home, and the
Vannestes can hardly wait"
until his arrival.
Vanneste joined the navy in
1921, and due for retirement in
1910 when rumors of war in the
Pacific were widespread and
serious. The navyman made the
decision true to American tradi-
tions. He signed up to stay in
and see to the finish any fight
that developed. 1t was this de-
cision that earned for him a mar
row escape from death at sea
and long, torturous imprison.
:nent at the hands of the Japs.

troll being exercised over him by
others.
"Thanks for your inspiring arti-
cles. Keep up the nice work! Your
sincere admirer."
My criticism of Negro organiza-
tions, such as, the N.A.A.C.P., Ur-
ban League, and others, has not
been one in which an attempt was
made to needle these groups fol-
any special purpose beyond that of
constructive criticism as a chal-
longing of their efforts into lines
of endeavor that would meet cur
rent problems and situations.
AS Mr.. Peters points out, the
N.A.A.C.P. and Urban League, de-
spite their abundant wealth of
training and education, are still
unequipped to cope with the basic
problems of proper food, clothing,
and shelter for the great masses
of Negroes through a program of
self-education and economic plan
ming.
The reason why this situation
exists is that these two organiza-
lions, as pointed out in this column
before, are inter-racial and have
yet to be convinced that inter-racia]
set-ups purporting to bring about
better conditions for Negroes are
basically sound unless the whites
are willing to go all the way, giving
the Negro the same fundamental
economic breaks" as other groups
These fundamental ''breaks" are,
the right to establish businesses in
locations that are advantageous fol-
sales; the property to manufacture
basic commodities and goods; anG
the property to market the same
without strangling competition anG
left-handed encouragement of such
enterprises.
Civil rights are of great moment
at all times, and Negroes above all
others-have to be increasingly
Vigilant in watching out for Their
rights. However, what good is il
to get the right to go into a res.
taurant to eat, if you don't have
any money to pay the man afte,
you are through.
This is, as I see it, a reason WHY
the programs of both the Urban
League and the N.A.A.C.P. need re.
vision in the light of current prob
lens that are facing US on all sides
today. If such changes are not
made, and soon, these two organi.
cations and others like them might
wake up one day to find that the
CLIO. or other labor organizations
will have taken over their places in
the economic and social thinking Of
the Negro.

ing and carefully scrutinizing your
articles appearing in the Spokes-
man. These articles reflect pro-
found wisdom, courage, and vision.
They, in my best judgment, suggest
a most comprehensive and scientific
program for Negro emancipation
along all lines of racial endeavor.
"Your last article, dealing with
development of Negro community,
is wholly just in its critical attitude
toward the N. A. A. C. P. and the
Urban League. These two organi-
cations, despite their abundant
wealth of training and education,
are woefully devoid of adequate
stamina in handling the basic prob
lens of securing proper food, cloth
ing, and shelter for the masses of
the race through self-help and eco
nomic planning.
"While it may be theologically
argued that man does not live by
bread alone, it must be remembered
that BREAD is the staff of life, and
he who is able to produce and con-
troll it shall never go hungry. There
fore, as I see it, we shall have to
seek new and vigorous leadership
to initiate the kind of program
necessary to straighten out our
twisted and neglected economic
thinking-now!
"The recent convention of the
C. 1. o. and it's positive pronounce
ments relating to industrial and
political action indicate a very
promising trend toward inter-racial
cooperation and goodwill. The last
national election demonstrated a
surprisingly high degree of respect
cherished by Negroes for the C. I. o.
and its militant and progressive
leadership. This means, I think,
that the field of civil rights and in
the business of industrial relations
respectively. And in this direction
am safe in saying that virtually
all Negro C. I. o. members are con-
WINGED that their unions have great
er capacity to work for job security
and better race relations than any
other group.
whether they like or deplore it,
the most important work needed to
be done among Negroes is that of
community building and all it rep
resents. Inarticulate agitation on
questions of social justice is not the
main issue at this moment.
eff the Negro will learn to do
more for himself by way of bust
ness enterprise and politics in his
own community, he will have a bet
ter chance of coming out of the
cellar and breaking the vicious con-
