The Power Of a Smile

By William Henry Huff For AMP
A hearty smile TO everyone ! owe
No matter who. no matter where,
Or whether bosom friend or bane-
full foe,
always have a smile to spare.
A pleasant smile will open bolted
doors
Behind which naughty people frown
provoking smiles from them TO
blend with yours
And cause hate walls to tumble

Minnesota Congressman for
support in his attempt to inte-
CRATE Negroes into the Mime

Army Secretary Kenneth G. Royal
had refused to grant permission
for such a step.
He asked them to use their in
fluence in gaining assurance that
federal funds will not be withheld
from the state when such a step Is
taken.
I'VE are appealing to you," the
letter to the Congressman read, ITO
give us your help in getting as

The Governor wrote that every

Bump" and Showing" Clubs
Are Myths, Dolly Editors
I'm Five Cities Declare

George o. Ludcke, Jr., public
relations man at General Mills,
has released to this paper in
formation exploding another
myth in the field of race re-
lations. Five editors across
the country have given the lie to
stories that Negroes are partici-
pating in Showing days" or ''bump
days"
These stories, persisting since
the wars end, have created racial
tension in many cities and ham
pered efforts to better race rela-
tions in others.
The information is contained in
letters from the editors Of the
Washington Times Herald, the De-
troit Free Press, the Chicago Daily
News, the Washington Star and the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. The cities
represented are those where
bump clubs" supposedly were
strongest.
Each letter denied the stories,
expressing the belief that they
were rumors circulated by those
who would condone or foment ra-
cial hatred.
Editors note This paper ran an edi-
toriRl denying that such clubs ca isted IN
November. 1874 The editorial WAS re-
printed in the Minneapolis Star,
The stories were that on certain
days Negroes, maids in particu-
lar, would not work. They alleg-
eddy explained that it was their
day TO go down and "shOve white
folks of the sidewalks" or TO
bump" them while on buses or
streetcars. Eleanor Clubs" was
another name given to these myth
zeal groups.
Mr.. Ludcke, "as a private citi-
zen" became interested in the
claims. He doubted their truth and
wrote editors Of the papers named.
Excerpts from their replies fol-
low:
Everett Norlander, managing
editor. Chicago Daily News: I'VE
have heard reports that such and
such a day would be Showing day
here. Never has any such day ma
terialized We think here that
the rumors were started by per
sons who wanted to stir up race
trouble and are without any foun-
datiOn
In Chicago, at least, showing
day is a distorted myth"

Right to Integrate Guard
Denied; Governor Appeals
to Minnesota congressman

applied throughout the Federal
forces Of the Army"
Royal has been qEoted as say.
ing that he would resign before
seeing segregation abolished in
the Army.
The situation arose when Gov
ernor Youngdahl wrote Secretary
Of Defense FOrrestal, informing
him Of intentions to integrate the
Minnesota Guard. He asked II
funds would be withheld. Forrestal
turned the letter over to Royal.
In his letter to Forrestal the Gov
ernor based his request on the be-
lief that Minnesota cannot prose-
cute its citizens who disobey the
states civil rights statute when the
state, in effect, does the same in one
Of its official agencies. He asked
that Minnesota be given permission
to abolish segregation as had New
Jersey when il was stated th.at that
states constitution forbade such
discrimination.
Royals reply was that Governor
Youngdahls proposal would extend
the exception further than that in
the case Of New Jersey. He said,
however, that the request viii be re-
ferred to the Committee on Ma
tional Guard Policy, and II its views
differ from the present Army
opinion, 'the Staff ana I win again
carefully restudy the matter from a
standpoint Of national defense"
Governor Youngdahl has indi-
Gated on several occasions that seq
regation will definitely be abolished
in Minnesota's Guard, whatever the
opinion Of Mr.. Royal and his staff.

Feed Pullets Well
During Summer

LETTING GROWING pulIets
'rustle" for themselves from the
time the brooder stove is turned off
until they are housed in the laying
house will lose a tidy sum for the
poultryman, warns Boyd A. Ivory,
Wyoming agricultural extension
service poultry specialist.
An adequate amount of a balanced
ration is essential during this Gin
between" period in order to have a
well-developed, ready = to : lay : for
profit flock of pullets.
Failure to provide a balanced
ration while the birds are on range
will result in a flock of thin, pale,
unthrifty and Improbable layers in
the fall, Ivory stated. Pasture alone
or pasture and an unbalanced ration
won't provide the pullets with
proper nutrition for egg production.
Good commercial growing rations
are available, he pointed out. If pro-
ducers desire to mix their own bal
anced rations, formulas may be Sc
cured in local county agricultural
agents offices. Just ask for U. S..
department of agriculture bulletin
No. 1841, Feeding of Chickens" or
in Wyoming for the Wyoming agri-
cultural extension service circular
No. 90 page 32), "4-H Poultry Man
ual."
In feeding the ration, Ivory rec
commended that at least two 8-foot
hoppers be provided for each 125
pullets to insure adequate feeding
space.

How MUCH PASTURE?
By II. E. CUSHMAN


q. I want to put the young birds on
pasture. I have about $50 birds. How
much room could I give them? Also
how long can they be kept on this pas
ture?-E. T. B. Yellowstone county.
A. We figure that one acre should
be allowed for each 800 pullets.
Therefore you should have at least
" acre. 1t all depends upon how
good the range is how often the birds
need to be changed. I would GER
tainly move the shelter at least once
a month, because the birds are
bound to get the soil Immediately
around the shelters pretty badly
contaminated. If possible do not
bring the birds back onto the used
range for at least two seasons. This
is the surest method of avoiding
worm and coccidiosis contamination.
