DISCRIMINATION BATTLE BEING
WON SAYS GEORGE WHITLEY

'I(he fight against discrimina-
ton has every indication now OF
being won,'' said George w
Whitley, superintendent / of the
state Division for Youth and
Community service, speaking at
the state NAACP Conference at
Carver Community center April
- and "a.
Listing the findings Of Gov.
stevenson S Inter-racial Commits
sion in its report to the General
Assembly, Whitney pointed out the
evidence that Negro nurses and
patients, long Disseminated
against, are now being accepted
IN some hospitals, and that the
bars OF exclusion in the field of
sports have largely relaxed, in
Spite of historic resistance in
other areas of the states econ
omic life.
There are material, spiritual,
and political gains for the Negro
throughout the nation" he said,
mentioning the increased Negro
vote and better educational IA
cllltles in the southern states,
he civil rights plank in nation
al party platforms and some in
dlvlluad states, and recognition
Tor Negro educators and physi-
clans in other instances.
Our failure to recognize the
lnter-dependency of our society
Is one of the most serious cur
rent threats to our democracy"
Whitney declared.
Whitley quoted Jimmy Can
non, Americas Ace sports writer
who writes: "The lynching mobs
OF America do not necessarily
wear hoods and carry ropes.
More often than not they are the
respectable members of our So
clety who deny to individual
members the rights democracy
has been established to defend
They string men UP with a
whisper OF a lie and they per-
secute him with ridicule. They
lynch men with calculated con-
tempt which no court of law can
consider a rhine. They require no
burning cross as a, signal of as
sembly and need no sheet to
identity themselves to each other.
They are the night riders who
operate "A hours a day."
The division superintendent
referred to the case of the Ne
gro scientist, DR.. Charles r..
Drew, who developed a preser-
vative for blood plasma which
saved countless lives during the
war, and yet whose own blood
must be placed in t special con-
tainer marked Negro"
mo amount Of Interpretation
from those who are oppressed
Will ever fully bring complete
understanding to those who are
the oppressors," said Whitney.
In a world with the majority of
population other than white, de-
mocracy, as way of life, is far
too valuable treasure to be
lost because intolerance and dis
elimination are permitted to ex-
lst in what may be the last great
'demlnsration of democratic liV-
ing.
Democracy becomes meaning
tul as we establish those forces
IN our lives which open all doors
now closed, SO that every man,
regardless of his religion or his
race, shall find unimpeded paths
Of satisfaction

For Beauty

When you open your mouth,
1t as clear and clean as a
Whlstle-or, is it like the caves
OF Kentucky with stalactites and
Stalagmltes treading it. By
washing and garling the mouth
and throat, at least twice a day
with salt and water, you will be
certain to keep lovely and UNI
obstructed mouth into which one
may gaze with enchantment.
