The Professor Thinks Minority Groups
|ShOuld be Satisfied with Discrimination.
Says Negroes and Jews are Victims of
Their Own Folly.

DR.. Otis Young head of the
Training Department of State Col
lege at Flagstaff spoke in open
defiance of Negroes and Jews, at
a Rotary Club meeting April 8
in Williams, Arizona. The following
is the exact text of his speech as
reported by the Williams News:
DR.. Young appeared as speaker
on Rotarian Sal Montgomery's pro-
gram, and gave as his topic of
discussion 1.-THE Minority Groups
in a Constitutional Republic"
The speaker reminded his listen
ers that thirteen independent re-
publics, in order to present solid
front, had gotten together and by
making individual concessions here
and there achieved the desired end.
From this, he told his audience,
the Constitution provided that the
voice of the majority rule. It also
provided for changes or amend
ments when and if the majority so
ruled. The latter has been exer-
cised at least twenty times and
without a single revolution, he
added.
We have our two major parties,
he explained. This operates as
a safety valve in that the party
out of power or in the minority,
in an effort to reverse the situa-
ton, serves to keep the party in
power in line. AS result of this
situation our nation has become
the greatest nation in the world.
It will continue as such as long
as this situation continues, he
predicted. We do not need nor
want additional political groups,
DR.. Young said.
He told the club members that
1--WE do not kant to become a Sec
ond France, with so many political
groups that no one government can
survive for more than six months"
He said that France has so many
political fractions with no single
faction strong enough to govern
so that these factions are con-
stantly trading influences with no
party able to stay in power.
DR.. Young reminded the club
that we have many so-called mi
nority groups in this country that
are continuously squealing about
being Disseminated against. They
constantly try to throw monkey
wrenches into our two-party form
of government.
He expressed the opinion that
the reason these minorities are dis
criminated against is the fault of
those group individuals rather than

glider flight to acquaint him with
modern glider warfare. Practical
instruction in ground assembly,
parachute rigging and mainten-
ance, and loading and lasing of
Airborne cargo-vita1 skills in all

Governors Youth
Conference Holds
Spotlight in Phoenix

Beginning with registrations at
$50 Tuesday morning, Phoenix en-
tertained more than 100 guests
from all parts of the state at the
Governors Youth Conference,
which was held in the Continental
Room of the Westward Ho Hotel.
The Conference opened on a
high note Tuesday morning when
Miss Karin Stallcup, of Phoenix
Union High School, Governor of
the Girls State held recently at
Tucson and John Haney, Yuma,
State President of Future Farmers
of America, addressed the confer
ence on the needs of YOUTH as
youth sees them. Both young Peo-
pie made thoughtful and fortnight
speeches.
Other sessions of the conference
were addressed by such eminent
persons as Dudley Field Malone,
Miss Margaret Knight, Tucson, DR..
Henry S. Schumacher, U. S. Public
Health, and others. Governor Dan
E. Garvey who welcomed the
guests spoke feelingly of the late

mental health stressed especially
the emotional tensions which some
American communities inflict upon
children of minority groups.

that he had recently strolled
arounds "across the tracks" where
he saw the almost unbelievable
slum sections of Phoenix. He ex-
pressed the opinion that children
cannot be brought up in slums to
be good citizens.

One of the most unusual clocks

One of the most unusual clocks
in the world, according to the
World Book Encyclopedia, is the
great clock in the Cathedral of
Strasbourg, France. This clock not
only tells the hour and the posi-
tions of the heavenly bodies, but
also points to the day of the month.
Below the dial which tells the time
of day is a procession of gods and
godesses which show the days of
the week. Quarter hours are struck
by figures on the clock, one of
which turns an hourglass. At noon
each day a procession of the Apos-
ties appears, while a cock above
crows three times.

legged Negro families to have

Gailard Trio gave a rich rendi-
ton of might and Day. with "In
My Solitude" as an encore. Miss

forts and pledges to work for the
best interests of the District at
the Forthcoming session of the
State Legislature.

the availability of funds for school
operation. He believes in supple
menting the School Teacher Pens
ion Plan which is now inadequate,
in order to make the teaching pro-
fession more attractive. :
3. He believes that st. Johns
and Flagler counties should re-
ceive their just and fair share of
road improvement and road con-
struction, to the end that the peo-
pie of the district might receive
back the benefits for which they
are paying their gasoline tax.
4. He favors providing relief
from real estate taxes which are
constantly increasing, by the re-
turn of portion of excise taxes
collected from these communities
for local tax problems.
5. In order to develop a sue
cesful Florida economy Mr.. Pope
favors a balanced emphasis on
tourist business and the encour-
agement of agricultural resources.
