NOW AND then, a sorry scene is
staged in the drama of American
life. I refer to the tragic denial
of basic American principles by
misled persons and groups, acting
in the name of religion. 1t CRATES
on my ears when hear of 1t.
Though some of these persons
are sincere, doubtless, I get plen-
ty riled when I read the news
that some church group decided
that those principles which have
so long brought us prosperity and
well-being, must be replaced as
behind times.
Here. are free Americans, citi-
zens of a land that grants them
freedom of religion, assembly
speech-citizens whose founding
fathers dedicated this nation tc
truth. They know that in America
the most liberty is found in doing
right deeds. Yet--those who receive
SO many blessings-yet will they
deny the heritage which should b.
theirs to pass on to their children

FARNISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: | was setting down in
dulging my Saturday Nights fish
and beer when along comes one
of my favorite Parish Streeters
who jumped me with tn question,
Why is it that most of the low
down suggestive songs are found
on the luke Boxes in Negro Cafes
and other places? and why it is
that some of the down right
vulgar songs that mostly reach
Che ears of Negroes are allowed
to get by the censor In the first
place answered that it was may
he because everybody thinks that
Negroes like the low down vulgar
and suggestive songs because no.
body never complains, and in the
second place the answer to the
reason why such songs get by the
record censors is because NOBODY
complails, the songs are only heard
in the Negro Community, and
part of the Censors business could
be giving people what they like
II kept on thinking about the
subject of songs and there effect
upon the conduct and thinking
of Aunt Haggar's Chilluns and
I thought about in the good times
how everybody was singing 'Let

rolled and it soon will be the
kind of times again when the

about the song that they used to
sing, YOU'RE FEETS TO BIG"
| always used to be sort of care
full about mentioning that song
around some of my friends of
bhe fairer sex, who, otherwise
palatable, had been blessed with
a rather generous helping of the

I was told how US FOLKS call
up and tell the welfare about
needy people who are being CIV
en- assistance irving to get there

the cases have always been fully

mating the effect of songs like

thoughts and action of Aunt Ha--
ggar's Chillun, it never did occur
to me that there had been song
entitled, YOU'RE MOUTHS TO

Charges Unfair" Acts
BY Negro Linen Firms

LOS ANGELES, April s. "a
NP)-Local white linen firms
filed a complaint last week against
what they claimed w re unfair
practices of a new Negro firm.
The 60 white supply companies
told the city attorney the colored
firm was knocking their business
by appealing to Negro custom rs
on a racial viewpoint.
According to these companies,
the Personal Linen Supply house
has been taking their customers
by saying, "You ought to give
your business to us, sine we're
all colored."
One white owner, William Freu-
land of the National Linen Sup
ply company, has accused the col
ored firm of having solicitors to
trail his drivers, and then urge
their customers to chang to the
colored firm.
