Thoughts for the New Year
BY Mrs. RhOda Frazier RenfrOe

By Mrs. RhOda Frazier RenfrOe
In this year Of 45, the end is drawing near,
The Mantel will soon be falling
Between the old, and the New Year
What contribution you leaving
Behind in this passing yearl
Did you think to count your blessing
Or did you o shed a tearH
How hard did you strive to make others happy,
Forgetting yourself for a little while?
In your contribution did you leave frown a smile2
Who asked you for bread and you refused,
Who was sick and in prison and you visited him not
Is this contribution you leaving worthwhlef
In this that is passing, many have SEEM
Careless living have praeced nothing good nothing
Does this in contribution letting children go astrayI
You having no time to stop and teach them
Or lead them in righteous and truthful way
This year Is passing; Resolution you may make
you have hate in heart Resolution sad mistake.
Nineteen hundred years contribution TO
As little child he Gift straight from Heaven.
Have you kept the Resolutions that you made in 46?
Did forget promise not thanking God for your puny lives
Oil let praise God in the highest
Peace on Earth and Good win to all
So let give a smile, II It is all we have,
Praising God and saying AMEN.

have to do is start reading and
after reading enough, they'll come
to know about us better and to
understand us and thus, make a
change in their manner Of thinking
about US. All Of which, | thought,
would make for greater interracial
harmony and sympathy.
Finds All Kinds of Books Inside
became so interested that l de-
cided to go inside. The display
window was but a side show to
what was inside. Shelves lined the
walls from floor to ceiling and
were packed with gaudily covered
volumes, most of them on Negro
subjects. There were piles Of books
on the floor and the neatly kept
place seemed to be overcrowded
with its vast stock of literature
concentrated on explaining what
the Negro is, what he wants, what
he hopes to do and what he has
done, to a nation that knows actual
ly very little Of him, and also to
those Of his own people who have
guessed mostly at these things
with nothing concrete to go on
until the present.
The thought came to me that
within my own memory, the Bible
and an old almanac had been the
principal literature in countless
homes with only a few in a given
household able to read from them
to the rest Of the family. Now,
enthused, we have thousands who
can read anything and in many
languages, Greek, Sanskrit, French,
Italian, Arabian, German, Spanish,
Russian and even Japanese and
Chinese. No excuse at all now,
thought, and turned around to see
what the handful Of customers
wandering around were looking at.
There were young and old among
them, men and women, boys and
girls. Some intelligent looking
with glasses, which somehow, de-
noted to me an indication Of deep
literary background. They were
making frequent purchases from
one or two piles Of books on the
floor and l wandered over to in
vestigate.
Dream Books Keep Place Open
Loudly displayed was the price
Of $3.50. The pile was in the middle
Of a big collection Of books on seri-
Gus aspects Of Negro life; sociologi-
cal and psychological studies. But
the customers were not buying
them. Instead, they were picking
out copies of Make Money With
Your Dreamsl" That l was sur
prised is putting it mildly and
went back to the owner Of the store
and asked him in n whisper, What
books do you sell the most here :"
I Without glancing up from his desk,

he said: "Pd go out of business if
it wasn't for my dream book trade
and for books on sex life and
Bibles"
Safely outside again, l looked
back into the window and then into
the faces of people hurrying past
me. Instead of great masses of
Negroes rushing into such stores
as this to purchase the writings of
authors who had spent years in
studying the Negro problem and
reporting upon it, most Of these
people, | figured, were interested,
still interested, in numbers and
dreams and willing to pay $3.50 for
books on such subjects. | passed
the corner newsstand and saw a
well-dressed Negro purchasing n
Racing Form. l thought: I'll bet
the Racing Form will outsell any
thing in that book store. Somebody
had better get busy and try and
educate our people, if we are going
to acquire any intellectual back
ground and respect. But who?

Local Man Comments
On judd Attitude

Editor: Inc Minnesota Council
for a permanent Far Employment
Practice commission has studied
the proposed amendments of Ball
Morse-Smlth to the FEPC Bill now
IN the Senate. In essence these
amendments % give the Courts
power to review the findings of the
commission, and (2) limit the COM
mission authority to employers of
at least 20 persons. We accept the
same, if they will help speedy enact
ment of the needed legislation.
Congressman Judd's present posi-
ton is gratifying. If we under
stand his recent published reaction
correctly, he is now willing to sup
port FEPC legislation, providing
that the Ball-Morse-Smith amend
ments are part of the bill to be
brought before the House.
Our council doesn't want to quib-
BILE, nor do we want to be obstruc-
tive. 1t is our sincere position that
this legislation is one of the present
"musts" on the House agenda. Con-
gresham Judd knows, as we do,
that the House won't get a chance
to discuss the legislation unless 21S
Congressman sign the discharge
petition and thereby bring the bill
from the House Rules committee
where it is presently languishing
Otherwise, we can only hope that
the Senate passes the bill first,
whereupon it will go to the House
for action without first going to
the Rules committee.
The issue is a simple one. Judd
now says that with the proposed
amendments he favors the FEPC
legislation; it will be a simple thing
for him to sign the discharge peti.
ton, get the bill out of the House
Rules committee, propose himself
the desired amendments, and assist
in his able and understanding
fashion to get the House to pass
this legislation.
