think for us. Many things tragic at times happens for the best. Our law makers will really have to let their sponsors plans for control alone, and get down strictly to the Business of solving the nations ! number one economic problem that of obtaining the necessities of life and price in proportion to average earnings.
 1t is very important to our read Ters to wake up and think when spending their money. This last statement is made to attempt to cause the average spender to get every cents worth of benefit, mer- chandise, or effect from every dol lar spent. Ask yourself just what happens to the hard earned money that you spend each day. Learn whether or not your merchant where you choose to spend your money has any interest in you as a member of a group, or whether he is interested in the welfare of the community. Too often the av- craze neighborhood merchant is smugly satisfied with taking ev- cry dollar possible to the other side of town where he lives in most cases.
 Too many of your local mer- chants believe that you will spend gards to patronizing something a Negro starts, or supporting some thing that is of community bene- fit.
 The reason that some merchants have adopted the studied indiffer- ence to the customers, as well as conditions that need remedying IS because they are sure of us, and our patronage. Many of you have said that a newspaper Is needed. We'll, here you have it. The only way it can exist since it is de- voted to the improvement of the Negro's mind, as well as his l1v- ing conditions, is to obtain adver- tisement from the merchants With whom our money is spent. Learn to patronize our advertisers, be- cause without their patronage our paper could not remain in business long. Then where would you tell where Sam Jones, or Mary Smith goes, what they wear, and With whom they associate.
 Educating ourselves to get along with the other fellow. Learn ing to command respect on our jobs, and preparing ourselves for the new fields in industry that are opening to us daily. All of this can be accomplished by coopera- tion with our community leaders

/ CoUer the Totur1
By JOHN STEWART

It will be interesting to sec just what the states attorneys office will do in regard to the false arrest of a young Negro William Robinson who was accused of rape. There's no question in my mind of the efficiency of the State Police, Detectives, and prosecu- tors, but certainly their long ex- perience in dealing with criminals should cause them to be certain of means of Identification before charging a person of crime, and placing him or her under high bail.
 To me 1t is just another case of the white mans unwillingness to know the Negro. To be frank it seems as though all of us look alike whenever a crime is com mitted. Young MT. Robinson cer- tainly is deserving of some fnan- cial remuneration to make up for the humiliation and disgrace that a false arrest for crime of rape carries.
 A "Parents Night will be held on Friday, July 19, at the North End Community Center. The pro- gram is inter-raci&lly directed, and will also t3e inter r~racially at tended. Of especial interest is the fact that the purpose of the evening will be that of showing the parents the work that both races can do harmoniously, and also to help the parents in unravel- ling the so-called problem of a community of mixed races, reli- gions, and colors in realizing that as a neighborhood group of peo- pie seeking the best means of a decent living in a democratic man ner we do have lot in common that can only be worked out to it's best solution by learning to get along with each other.
 With the revised city charter, and the city manager plan is caus- ing much discussion about the community, we would appreciate getting opinions on it from inter ested persons. We have in our pos session the proposed plan in it's entirety. However, what will be most interesting is the opinion of the average person who in the past has been satisfied to. have someone think for them and only to holler loudly when mistakes came to the public's attention. With the OPA temporarily out of the picture Eve hope" the ever rising prices will cause any num- Der of heretofore disinterested people to consider the capa'3ility of those who were elected to
