Jefferson's Words
Recalled In Civil
Rights Meeting

Charlottesville, Va,-Amid the
historic surroundings of Month
cello, the home town of Thomas
jefferson, two hundred Southern
ers, representing nearly every
Southern State, gathered to discuss
Civil Rights.
Noting that this country was
founded with the declaration that
all men were created equal, franz
ed in words, given to the world
by a southerner, Thomas Jeffer-
son, and that, closely associated
with the idea of equality and
political Democracy, was another
concept of American culture, the
idea of brotherhood of all man
kind.
Discrimination, the statement
continues, means lower living
standards for those who discrim-
mate as we'll as for victims of
discrimination and states that
while the South is one of the ma
tons richest regions in natural
resources, the average Southern
citizen has an income forty per
cent lower than the Southern
citizen.
Proposals for action were offer
ed in a final section, under three
headings:
For individual action by speak
ing out against discrimination
and guarding against prejudice IN
word, thought or deed; For group
action to inform and educate
member. about present Unequal
tiles and injustices and to obtain
approval of charges needed to
establish these rights; For legis-
lation, repeal Of existing laws
violating these principals, notably,
laws enforcing public distinctions
based on color, religion and nat
ional origins, and by passage OF
new legislation at all levels to
shield the Civil Rights of all Cit
liens.

MOTHERS DAY
FOUNDER dies

West Chester, Pa. (G)-Miss
Anna Jarvis, founder of Mothers
Day, died early Thanksgiving eve
at the ripe age of eighty four in
the Marshall Square Sanatorium,
where she had been a patient for
the past five years.
Miss Jarvis, after exhausting
her financial means in a long
futile fight against the CONNER
cialization of Mothers Day, and
on becoming blind, deaf and bed
ridden, was placed in the Sana
forum in 1943.
The holiday, which she started,
has spread to forty three coun-
tries and it began when she held
a memorial service for her moth
or, Mrs. Anna Reeves Jarvis on
May 8, 1907,
Very sentimental, Miss Jarvis
set about to perpetuate her moth
er's memorial service by making
1t a tribute to all mothers. She
began writing letters to the White
House, to governors, to teachers,
members of Congress, editors,
clubwomen and to rulers of for
eign countries. When her efforts
had received favorable notice she
resigned her position as advertis-
ing director for a Philadelphia in
surance concern and devoted all
of her energies to the Mothers
Day Movement.
In a very short time Mothers
Day was proclaimed in several
states and in 1914 President Will
son signed a COMPRESSION resolu-
ton creating a new flag holiday,
He proclaimed the second Sunday
in May as Mothers Day
Then, Miss Jarvis, who had in
corporated and copyrighted her
venture, started another campaign
to divorce the Day from mer-
chants using it to profiteer. She
once voiced her detectives of Mo-
theirs Day in a speech at QuaTi-
co, Va, when she told her aud
fence that, 81 wanted to focus at
tention all over the country at
once on the unrecognized service
that mothers do wanted child
rem to write home wanted them
to wear a flower or recognize the
symbol worn by someone who
had one-not to buy one from
profiteer.'

rate and special place for Mr..
McLaurin in the library and CIV
en- him a private dining room and
above all, he was the picture of
despair.
He was respondent because here
he occupied a place legally re-
| quired by the state of Oklahoma
that characterzedShim as not good
enough to share completely the
classroom facilities provided for
the dispensing of education. Here
the partition made him feel that
he did not belong Here he was
impressed with the fancied inferi-
GRITTY Of his race.
How different or just how ri
diculous can the narrow preiu-
dices of these United States make
us appear in the sight of the rest
of the world? How much longer
will the south in ostrich-fashion
continue to bury their heads in
stenchy morass of bigotry?
God must be amused as he
looks down from His celestial
Throne and observes the child
like game these Southerners are
playing at being humane. He
must blush as He remembers the
Ten Commandments that were set
up as a guide to man in his re-
lationship with other men. He
must remember again the sinful
reason why He expelled the first
creatures of His hand from the
Garden of Eden.
While Negroes of the Nation re-
sent the purposes Of Jim Grow
they cannot help but laugh at the
silly spectacle the white Supre-
mists make of themselves as they
try to make themselves great
through the medium Of small and
ignoble actions.
Until all Americans reject the
littleness Of Jim Crowism and e.
Intimate the physical evidences of
the exalted opinions some white
| people have of themselves, we
shall continue to be the laughing
stock of the entire world.
No matter how you take it or
what you think, Jim Crow is
ridiculous and nothing yet con-
ceived in the minds of the little
people that practice it can change
this impression Pearl Buck was
correct when she said "Discrim-
ination and segregation does more
harm to white people than to Ne
groes" Although the Negro, said
she, suffers from what some
white people force him to suffer
or endure, his personality and
character are not damaged" Jim
Grow Is ridiculous.
