Charges of Segregation
Denied BY ST. Peter

Editor: Did you know that St.
Peter Claver Catholic church is
accused of segregation Of course
any fair minded individual who
really wants to know the truth of
the matter need only to come here
to church and they will 90 home
convinced Of the lie in this accu-
sation. But for those who are too
prejudiced against the Catholic
church, even to come and see for
themselves, am enclosing IA pic
ture of our first Communion class
of this year, Sunday, May II, which
numbers 80 young boys and girls
Is Of whom | baptized as converts
into the Catholic church, last Sat
urday.
Perhaps this is not so much OF
a racial problem as 1t is religious
Perhaps there are some who dc
not like the idea of converts Um-
ing into the Catholic church.
If we are accused Of segregation
look at the picture and see for
yourself st. Peter CIaver is build

that many Of the candidates who
ran the biggest ads in our election
issues, have never received this
newspaper endorsement and also
that a good many candidates, who
apparently did not have the funds
TO insert ads have been endorsed
by this paper.
We try hard TO operate on the
theory that having received wide
support from the Negro cOmmu-
nifty and its white friends that
this newspaper has a mandate
from the people. All Of its edl-
tOrial, news and entire content
and influence is geared TO I'LL that
responsibility.
If sometimes part Of our staff
seems too engrossed IN selling
papers and advertIsing-for money,
that should be understandable.
Presses don't turn unless there Is
money in the publishers till to pay
the pTessmeH, and you can't PRINT
paper unless the presses do turn.
As we sand IN u preceding para
graph, there are too many people
VINO ignore OF do not realize the
costs involved in the publication OF
a good newspaper and too many OF
them think that they should not
have to pay for advertising which,
aside from copies Of the paper, Is
all the publication has to sell.
While on the subject, don't let
anybody tell you this newspaper
charges for news" Much material
which people want Us to run free
is not news" but advertising de-
signed TO enhance the financial
status of some individual or Organl-
cation. That's the kind of advertis-
ing disguised as news for which
we charge. Every now and then
some determined individual wants
US to devote more space to an item
than we can afford. When this
occurs we have to insist on a
charge, chiefly to discourage long
winded descriptions Of affairs,
which i'm our editorial Judgment
have no news value beyond the
space we have to give.
We hope this recital has not
bored you. You readers have made
possible the growth of this paper.

over the loud huzzahs of approba-

Lewis shows the result Of the
extensive research he did among
Negroes. He accOmplishes one thing
which very few white writer's have
been able to do so far; he makes
his Negro characters seem like
reasonable facsimileS Of the human
race. White writers, suffering from
an overdose of zealousness, usually
portray Negroes as patiently toting
that barge and lifting that bale.
A few of the Negro characters
sound as if they would be more at
home in the metropolitan atmos-
phere Of a large city rather than
in town of 10000 population pro-
tectively tucked away in Gods
Country, and one wonders how some

insist there IS no race prejudice in

in proper bank, Neil lives in a
proper house in proper section of
Grand Republic, MINI. (pOp. 3d.

typical Junior League type; a four
year-old daughter, "Biddy"; a Ne

black dog, Niger. Neil and
Nestal hold all of the usual stereO-
typed conceptions of Negroes and
consider themselves highly intelli-

They are nothing more than the
attractive cOunterparts of a million

Nell's father gets an unfortunate
hankering to find out whether or
not he's descended from English
royalty. The genealogy bug bites
Neil and he does some probing on
his own. His very proper world
comes crashing down about his ears
when he finds out he is the direct
descendant Of full-blooded Negro

The revelation OF the Negro

out when he learns the truth, keeps
him from being completely crushed.

For almost Ia years this paper
has been THE Negro publication
in this city. 1t is still. Our readers
will attest to that fact.
This dominance was and is no
accident. Determination, energy,
study and devotion to the job of
producing a good newspaper, 81
times each year, earned a reputa-
ton which has grown through the
years.
Most readers do not realize the
back-breaking labor, long hours,
financial risk and sacrifice that
each staff member Of a community
newspaper, such as this journal
must put in their job. Neither dc
the people at large realize the cost
of operating a first class newspaper

Even in the cities where the Ne.

equity Of using "a portion of Their
