SALVATION AND THE LABOR UNIONS

Up in Cleveland the other day at the meeting of the
General Missionary Baptist State Convention of Mississippi
it's president, The Reverend Doctor H. H. Hume, Editor
and publisher of the Deto Leader Of Greenve and
of the stoe's Leading weekIs, again made known his
opposition the organized labor movement among Negro
workers of the stote soyng among other things that the
voice of the ministry should be heord telling folk that
our salvation is not in unions.
Now. on the point Of Salvation" we have always
looked at thot dealing with life after deoh, sort of
reward one receives in accordance with his works earth
when he is Invested of his mortal garments and is coed
to toke up his adobe in the celestial regions the heaven
With such on opinion have never looked at labor
unions being any way interested about whot happen
ed to fellow offer this life has ended and how he ores
when he reaches the celestial regions of the heavens
Whot labor unions interested in is better pay ond
better working conditions for people who have to work or
earth so hot they have better food better educotion
better heoIh, and more of the reoI Joys of living which
seems be pretty good program for any kind OF work
ers.
Then to there's that remok mode sometime ago by q
really outstanding leader to the effect that the labor un
ions we're doing to bring about reol democracy in
America thon the Chrston church.

Demand Cleanup
OF College As
Vet Students Vote
Continued from Page II

We agreed on an hour to meet
and they all shoed up on time,
two carloads and they voted. AS
they lined up for their ballots,
a number of whites got up in a
huff and walked away mumbling
something under their breaths
about refusing to vote with mrs.
Nobody said word as they stalk
ed away.
But the attitude of these young
veterans is more inspiring than
their actions.
Friends of ours" they ex-
planned, have given us the devil
for coming to Jackson College to
continue our education. This is
teachers college and under the
CT Bill we could have elected to
be doctors or lawyers or have
gone north to big white univer-
sites, but they would not fit into
our plans.
Jackson College is a training
school for Negro Teachers and
should not be converted into a
Eotbed of racial agitation. If
present trends and policies are
permitted to continue veritable
Pandora's Box of trouble will be
the result.
College officials have adopted
a policy of complete silence on
the subject.

VETERANS GROUP
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

In the meantime, however, vet
Grams attending the college as
students under the CT Bill en-
phatically deny that anything or
any person at the college, in the
class rooms or otherwise, mem
bers of the faculty or otherwise
have influenced or attempted to
influence their action with respect
to voting on July End.
Former Captain George Owens,
a veteran with long overseas SER
vice, and head of the local chap
ter of the American Veterans
Committee pointed out that a ma
jority of the members of the local
chapter are students at Jackson
College. The Captain said that
while overseas and in the fox
holes of the European and Asia
tic Theatres Negro veterans had
been made to know and under
stand their rights as citizens and
what they were fighting for, and
their desire to exercise those
rights which they and their COM
rades had earned at such great
sacrifice could not be made the
responsibility of any institution
or any one at this late time.
The Captain said that the local
chapter meets at its headquarters
in he city where all matters of
concern to the veterans are stud
led and discussed.

T axe My Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Readers Want to Know.

Durham: Recently you said that
it is incorrect to say Dizziness" for
the word business" Sorry to con-
tradict you but the Funk d. Wag-
nails dictionary lists dizziness" as
the only choice. Do explain
Reader.
Answer-1 can't explain 1t, for no
other dictionary known to me lists
business" in any other way than
BIZ-ness, which is the universal
pronunciation. I'm afraid we'll have
to give F. & w. goose egg on
dizziness.
Los Angeles: In your Speech Por-
trait Of Edwin c. Hill you charged
him with an error in pronouncing
mourning" like morning." Are not
the words pronounced alike?-K. M.
Answer-Not in careful speech.
The first syllable of mourning" has
the long 20" sound as in hoe, toe, "
thus: MOER-ning. In morning
the 20" has the sound of "aw," thus !:
MAWR-ning.
Spokane: Harold L. Ickes has
styled himself "curmudgeon. "
Please discuss the word.-Mrs.
F. L. H.
Answer-The dictionaries define
curmudgeon as AN avaricious,
grasping fellow: a miser, a niggard
a churl:" think I am correct in
saying, however, that Ickes, in ap-
plying the term to himself. used it
in the meaning of "a crouch, an ILL.,
tempered person" Pronounce it
ker-MUH-jun.
Miami: In a promotion sheet
sent out by an artists agent a GER
tain noted concert pianist is de-
scribed thus: She Is a soloist of
broad gauge" Could be?-D. M.
AnswerAWebster's defines broad
gauge as any gauge wider than 4
feet 8la inches. Could be, but I'd
have to see it.
Oakland: Why do the British use
"Oxonion' as the adiestice form OF
the name Oxford?-K. A.
Answer-The original name of
Oxford was the Anglo-Saxon OK
naford, "oxen's ford" In Middle
Latin it was written "Oxonia. !"
Later the modern spelling "Oxford''
was adopted but the adjective is
still "Oxonia" with N" added. Eng
lish is like that.
