CHILD SUGGESTIONS

''Your Child From One To Six" /,
a very interesting and helpful
booklet for the parents of young
children, has been prepared by the
Children's Bureau, u. S. Depart
ment of Labor, Washington, D. c..
and is now available free, upon re-
quest from the State Board of
Health, Dover. From studies made
of children's behavior it has been
found that parents attitudes and
personalities and the way they
feel about their children play a
much larger part in a child's
healthy development than does any
set of rules they may follow in
bringing up their children, and the
booklet, "Your Child From One To
Six", shows how emotional matur-
ity in parents themselves can bring
about the security and affectionate
understanding that must underlie
sound and creative family relation

FIRE DISASTER
KILLS BOY Is
Edward Johnson Burned Crit.
ically In Fire Here Friday
Dies At Dover Hospital
TANK-TRUCK PROVEN

The value and efficacy of the
new "water wagon, the 800-gallon
trank-truek recently purchased by
the Citizens Hose Company, was
proven at the fire last Friday when
a young Negro boy was burned so
critically that he died the follow
ing day. Edward Johnson, IL
years old, son of Mrs. Emma john
son, was starting a fire at the home
of his mother, at 239 Lincoln st.
and according to an investigation
by the Smyrna police, he used ker-
osene, which resulted in stove ex-
plosion and fire. The volunteers
were able to prevent a more dis
astrous fire by their prompt action
with the use of the water wagon,
which effectively had stream of
water in action within thirty sec
onds after arrival at the scene of
the fire. The damage, estimated
at $500, was confined to the kitch-
en-. The burned boy was rushed to
the Kent General Hospital in the
ambulance of the David C. Harri-
son Post, No. ID, American Leg
ion. He died at the hospital Sat
urda morning, and funeral services
were held yesterday at Mt. Olive
Holiness Church, Smyrna in charge
of Elder A. Manns. Edward was
a student at the Booker T. Wash
ington School, Dover. His sister,
Marlene, II years old, was in the
house with him at the time of the
fire, and assisted in the attempts
to aid him. He is survived, in ad-
dition to his mother, by his grand
parents, the Rev. J. H. Wright,
pastor of Birds M. E. Church, Clay
ton, and Mrs. Wright; and Robert
Johnson; his sister Marlene, and
three brothers, Levi, Austin, and
Anderson. The house is owned by
Mary Esther jefferson, and the
building was estimated by firemen
as valued at $4,000, contents $1,000.

ing Shaw made another familiar
remark that has been made about
Negroes al lover the world except
he directed it against white South
Africans. Referring to the latter
group, he said, "They r men
tally lazy and snobbish. In trade
they cannot compete with alert
Indians"
What a familiar ring this state
ment has had in the past but
black instead of white was on the
receiving end. While it might be
true that a large section of the
South African white population is
lazy and mentally dull, no form
of illiteracy should be counten-

By Lawrence c. Burr

MADRAS, India, Feb. 9. GAN
P)-George Bernard Shaw, emf
nent British statesman for the
past one-half century, character
lied the "ghetto legislation" in
South Africa as "flat persecution"
in a recent message to a meeting
of the Indian Workers associa-
ton of Coventry, England. LaLsh-
ing out at the leadership and prac-
tees of South African politicians,
Shaw continued by saying, IF. M.
SHUTS cannot impose his stand
ards on a shallow and irresponsi-
BILE democracy"
The effect of ghetto legislation
in South Africa is similar to that
of restrictive covenants in the
United States. Both policies are
designed to restrict and control
the movement of racial groups in
urban centers and exclude nom
whites from all but ghetto or slum
areas. The South African policy
constituted a part of the Indo-
South African dispute before the
UN last year.
Every tropical nation controlled
by whites remaining in the Brit
ish Commonwealth of Nations is
attempting to bolster it's ~increas-
ingly insecure position by recruit
ing immigrants from the Nordic
nations of the world. Australia,

policy was revealed last year in
the United States. In spite of the
fact that these nations are in the
midst of brown peoples throwing
off the yoke of colonialism, they
continue pursuing policies detri-
mental to desirable international
relations and are capable of lead
ing the world into another war.
To hear an English statesman
refer to the civilization which they
built collectively as being elm
perfect" is very interesting. In
the course of his speech Shaw re-
ferred to the white South Africans
as being Every imperfectly civil
led" The American version of
this imperfect civilization is the
way Negroes are segregated and
Disseminated in the United States
and especially in the south where
no rights are granted, no guar
anteed, not even the right to live
free from threats of lynching.

aware of these and other racial
problems.
In the United States Volumes
Of documents have been compiled
on this problem but Negroes con-
tinue to be deprived of equal job
opportunities, equal educational
facilities, civil and social rights,
and other rights that are supposed
to be inherent in democratic politi-
cal institutions. The plight of all
Africans-black, brown and white
will be improved only when hu-
man rights precede economic
rights.

Miss W. Marta Johnson of Waycross Georgia, (some-
times mentioned being away Georgia) with past
work Hampton Institute and at Dayton Ohio; and now
employed at Broadway Edison in Seattle is alert and
attractive young evidently interested in hrer
work She finds the people of the Northwest including
School officials coworkers and othersfriendy and CO.
operative and not at all bashful about mixing. Miss
Johnson to be well prepared in the work she is
doing here.
Mrs Thelma DeWtty of Beaumont, Texas-a grad

the University of Washington is the other of these
two Mrs. DeWitty to the Northwest because her
husband here frstand they both like it. She
now regular at the Frank Cooper School in West
Seattle and also finds just the fright Sort of cooperation
and comradeship necessary to good teamwork for a
teaching staff.
Even after years service by these teachers-and
two others whom have not reached-The Enterprise
wishes to extend the HAND OF FELLOWSHIP and to
congratulate both the Cities of Seattle and Tacoma and
these young women-who have "broken the ice" This,
of course all should be in this fasgrowing and

ton that HYPOCRACY IS too frequently substituted for
DEMOCRACY; and other parts of the world are slowly
but surely finding this out AS pointed out by the Unver
sity of Chicago representative there nothing IN
these proposals which not already covered in United
States Constitution but the fact remains that the Cons
tuition has been lived-upto and government has
condoned the violations where Southern prejudice is
concerned Now the Souherners really feel mistreated
when proposes that live and practice some
things a little closer to the CONSTITUTION.
The following points and apparent facts make this pro-
posed revolt seem-not only foolish and chidish-but
downright CRIMINAL It would that Southerners
Leadership ncuded) want to continue lynch and mob
rule without legal interference 1t would also seem that
they would continue taxation and the expectation of all
other responsibilities of CITIZENSHIP of certain minority
groups without any of REPRESENTATION, en-
oluments or VOICE IN THEIR GOVERNMENTS 1t would
further seem that they anxousy and sudiedly SOW

THE new COAL CONTRACT

The existing agreement between the soft coal produc
and the United Mine Workers will expire June 3d.
Negotiations have begun for working out new contract
And regardless Of what differences arise and what
demands the union may make the public should under
stand the position of the miners.
First of all, the 100000 miners receive the highest
wage of any comparable group. Their average earnings
are SIS week-and this includes partme workers and
absentees. Many miners who wish to take full advan-
tage of their opportunity from $500 to $500 month
The miners in addition, have many security benefits
The recent controversy Mr.. Lewis demand for an
old age fund of 500 month"; to be paid entirely
by royalty each ton of coal produced, may have
dmed the fact that the miners entitled to Federal
social security pensions, and also have compensation IN
surance More than 65 per cent of them have prepaid
medical care, hospital insurance, or both.
Lastly, everyone should know what coal strike COSTS
The last of relatively brief duraonyet it cost
the miners in loss of pay alone The coun-
try lost than 40000000 tons of coal it needed Ex
ports of coal for European rehabilitation had to be sus
pended And no one figure the loss to the owners
and workers such industries STEEL automobiles rail-
roads, etc, whose operations sharply curtaed for
lack of COAL
The country hopes that new and fair contract may
be written without another devastating shutdown-and
without rcmnations that have characterized disputes
in the past.
