expects his own peculiarities to
be accepted.
The democratic way of life de-
mands COOPERATION. In order
to make it work there must be an
opportunity for each citizen to
earn a living, to have opportuni-
ties equal to his natural capabili-
ties and to have a chance to de-
velop those capabilities to the ut
must. We have gone far under
the capitalistic system. and If we
want to see free enterprise con
tinue we will have to see that it
works for the good of all.
The democratic way of life de
mands Constructive AC-
TION. We must not be content
with things as they were or
as they are, but we must plan and
work for a better world tomor-
row. we IA O6 iNS'N'
our standards have gone up. We
can progress only as we take
steps to insure still finer things
for the coming generation.
The democratic way of life de-
mands CONSIDERATION. Democ-
racy is not free gift - it must
be earned and earned anew by
each generation. We must defend
our democratic heritage both from
the enemies without and from the
enemies of Indifference, neglect
and carelessness within. We must
rededicate ourselves to the prln-
ciples upon which our govern
ment is founded-and live up 10
them in our daily life as well as
in our public utterances. Thus
and thus only will the democratic
! way of life endure.

TACOMA NOTES
Fashion Show

Mrs. Maude Leonard wrote the
script and produced one of the
most complete and successful re-
views at the Allen Chapel A.M.E.
Church, Monday evening of last
week, Tacoma has witnessed in
years. A crowded house was de-
lighted and thrilled with the acts
and varied styles by the younger
set, and the happiness they en-
joyed, and the curtain had to fall
when Mr.. Louis McCabe and Mrs.
d. w. Gibson rang in the styles
OF yesteryears as a most fitting
climax. Mrs. Edna Moore's solo.
Mrs. Lottie Robinson, in her usu-
al mezzo soprano pleased all, fol-
lowed by the soft but sweet voice

Ann Stafford never fails to please
with her piano selections.
The entire affair was a pleas
ing success both as an outstand-
ing offering and financially.

As long as opportunity and add

as they are denied equal rights
to share amusements and other
facilities; as long as hospital, even
those conducted under Genomina-

Books Open Again
For Registration

Registration books are open
once again in fire stations librar-
les and at the County-City Build
ing. They will remain open from
now until October Is, fifteen days
before the general elections. No
vember 3.
Fire stations are open around
,he-clock; Libraries, daily except
Fridays, from > to p. m. It is
important to note. however, that
fire stations and Libraries are op-
EN- for new registrations. Any cit
zen who desires to change his
place of registration because of
having moved from one precinct
to another, must do so at the
County-City Building.
Veterans are particularly in
danger of not being able to vote
in the general elections unless
they make certain they are pro-
perry registered Many veterans
assume that votes cast on war
ballots while in the service auto
matically registered them. This is
not the case The war ballot was
a special measure designed to ia
cilitate voting by servieemen on a
particular election. Not a single
soldier, sailor or marine was made
a registered voter because he vo-
ted war ballot.
Any veteran who wants to vote
should make certain he's properly
registered. Veterans living in an
Incorporated city should check at
he controllers or comparable
office. Veterans living outside a
'ity should go to the county aud
tors office.

Five-POint Program
For Justice and Peace

The five point program of the
commission on justice and peace
emphasis the Negro in the United
States. Moved by our religious
heritage, with its Universal aims.
we are touched by the woes
and sufferings of all victims of
injustice and exploitation. Without
hesitancy, we identify ourselves
with the oppressed everywhere.
Their pain is our agony, their
humiliation our hurt, their suffer
ing our burden; their injustice
our concern. Because we are in
spired by Israels God the God
of all humanity, we are distressed
Ger the miseries of low casts
in India, over the woes of OPP
pressed Indonesians; the humila-
tions of the yellow peoples, the Sc
gregation of American Negroes;
our brethren all.
Excerpts of statement follows:
Specific issues OF race relations
have long confronted us in the
conditions of American life. In
the wrld at large, a crisis in race
relation now challenges us. Con
ferences of Rabbits have applied
the above declared traditions of
Judaism to the solution OF racial
problems. The Jewish religion
teaches us that all men are made
in the image of God. Judaism re-
cognized only one race, the hui
man race, from which there fol-
lows directly the basic equality
of all peoples. In the light of
these religious convictions we
work and pray for the realization
of these ideals:-
I've assert that no race has
the right to dominate another.
I've deny that God has sell
ected some races for special fav-
ors and others for debasing serv-
itude.
3-We urge the education and
full emancipation of all peoples
without exceptions. And we look
with special cncern upon the ex-
ceptions. And we look with special
concern upon the exploitation
of many millions in A s a
and Africa and urge their ad-
mission as equals into the councils
of nations.
I've do not regard conflict
between races as inevitable.

now, like many IA woman
before her, Jan thought:
Was it a mistake =?

IF DAVID hadn't left her alone.

payne, Janice might not have no.
ticed with such terrible sickening
clarity the room in which he'd left
her.
Why had she let him go? What
difference did it make that brides
and grooms were supposed to be
toasted in champagne? "I'll find a
bottle in this one-horse town, Jan.
David had declared, eff | have to
swipe it out of the mayors CELLAR
You shouldn't have left me,
Davey." Jan said to the hideous
walls with their tawdry pattern OF
monstrous cabbage roses that suffo-
Gated her like some evil vegetation
in crazy jungle "Oh. you shouldn't
have gone''
Be honest, Jan, she told herself.
You let him go because you wanted
at least that much OF tradition on
your wedding day. You didn't have
anything else - no church wedding.
no reception, no calla lilies Graded
in your arm; you didn't wear the
slipper-satn wedding dress and rose
point veil worn by your mother and
two grandmothers before you.
INSTEAD, there was only David
stopping by her house this after
noon, finding her in the library,
standing at the door - not touching
her except with his eyes - and say
ing, This is it, Jan-now or never.
She didn't ask what he meant.
She had known for long time - he
was fed up with waiting for Jan to
make up her mind. or rather. sick of
her parents making it up for her.
"All we ask, Jan, DEAR" they'd said
over and over, lis that David prove
himself. We want to be sure our
little girl is we'll taken care Of"
Il will be-" said Jan. Il know l
will"
You can't know. Just because
David was hero in the war doesn't
prove he'll be hero in business. And
the war is over, Janice"
Yes, the war was over, and David
back from the occupation of Japan,
and starting in with an advertising
agency - starting at the bottom.
1t was this bottom that Mr.. and
Mrs. Sinclair couldn't accept. Oar
ling" they repeated patiently, its
all very we'll to be romantic - it's
lovely. We're the very first to admit
that, and the very first to admit that
David is handsome and charming
and whatever else you say he is,
But he hasn't any money, dear
Il don't care" said Jan.
Evening star., 1946-04-21

you wiH care - you won't be
able to help it. A silver spoon shaped
that sweet mouth of yours, the same
mouth that's saying such brave and
foolish words now But you won't
like poverty, Jan, however much you
like David. And after while - you
won't even like David"
And then they repeated:
'All we ask is that David prove
himself"
An. 1t would be years before
David made enough money to sat
isfy JAMS parents, years of going out
with more eligible young men whom
her parents thrust hopefully upon
her
But they meant we'll. :. They
wanted only the best for her - and
in their eyes David was not the best.
Then today there was David
standing at the library door saying,
Evening star., 1946-04-21

This is it, Jan now or never.
They're transferring me to the Chi
cago office. I'm leaving this after
noon." He stopped. and the express
sion in her eyes made it necessary
for him to touch her. She could feel
his lips on her mouth, his hands
smoothing her hair.
"Are you coming with me, Jan?'
Yes" she said.
They were married somewhere along
the road to Chicago by Justice
of the Peace. Jan was still wear
ing exactly what she had on when
David found her in the library
yellow sweater and pale blue skirt.
There'd been no time to change be-
cause they had to get out of her
house before Mrs. Sinclair walked
into it. =.
