 ''Music Bright And New"
 Two officers of the Forty-Third Division swore in a recruit, with short, simple ceremony. But this time generations of intolerance and hate and misunderstanding stopped to listen. Because the words were familiar but the music was new and bright.
 And a Negro, who drives a truck for living, wears a ruptured duck in his lapel and remembers a na- tion's building two armies to fight one war has raised his voice to sing, "I too am American, I solemn1y swear"
 That can set a man bouncing up the boulevards and dancing down the alleys.
 That is tremendous.

Former Solon In Attack On Myth Of Race Hatred

BRIDGEPORT - Denial of de- mocracy to the Negro citizen is the skeleton in the closet" the 'fone ghost at the feast" in American history, declared beauteous, out spoken Clare Boothe Luce, Monday in a radio broadcast. .=-
 The guest of Martha Deane on Radio Station WOR, the former Connecticut representative made a moving appeal in behalf of the twenty-two Negro colleges which benefit from the United Negro Col 1ege Fund Drive.
 The institutions, she asserted, are sliving proof that if you give a colored man an education, he will be as intellectual as any white man with the same education" ~..
 Taking a sideswipe at persons characterize the Negro as "1nfe- rior," she continued:
 Negro Falsely Judged "Only one of 50 colored people ever get to college in comparison to one out of eight white persons. The Negro, therefore, cannot be judged by so-cal1ed illiteracy until you can prove he cannot be made iiterate and this has never been done.
 Tn her characteristic striking fashion, the former Fairfield Coun- ty legislator reminded her radio audience:
 "Remember we are Christians. There is no question where our Lord would have stood on the Ne
 Mrs. Luce appealed to her list eners to support the fund, adding the very practical reminder that tax exemptions of 15 per cent on income are allowed for charity do

Advocates Education To Combat Prejudice

Prejudice can be ended through the medium of education, John J. Cronin, dean of Social Work at UConn University, said last week.
 This education must start at the pre-school level, MT. Cronin said at the annual meeting of the Mor- lev School Parent-Teacher Assocl- ation.
 Three and four-year-old children, who don't even know what words mean, are apt to pick up prejudices, the speaker declared.

Venereal Disease
Increase In Arizona

Now that the curtain of immod-
esty has been raised on the subject
of venereal disease and science has
provided cure for syphilis which
requires as little as 10 days and
feW-hour cure for gonorrhea, an
educational program enlightening
the people of the facts concerning
these two diseases is all that is
needed to reduce VD to a point
where it is insignificant in the
health picture of Arizona.
Today cases of venereal disease
rank close to tuberculosis as the
number one communicable disease
health problem of the state, yet,
DR.. J. P. Ward, state director of
public health, says that "only an
intelligent recognition of the situa-
tion and an open-minded approach
is needed to solve the venereal dis
ease problem"
The Arizona Medical Association
and various school, ministerial and
social organizations have endorsed
the educational and case finding
program now starting in the state
which is designed to acquaint the
people of Arizona with the situa-
ton and reach all persons who
might knowingly or unknoWingly
have VD.
!, Last year there were over 5000
cases reported to the bureau Of
vital statistics of the State Depart
ment of Health, however, conserva-
tive estimates set the number of
cases in the state at nearer 10000.
The high rate of early or infec-
tious cases of syphilis reported in
dicate that the disease in Arizona
is on the increase in spite of the
greatly improved methods of cure.
Health officials warn that per-
sons with venereal disease who fail
to obtain treatment from an ac-
credited physician face risks in
cluding insanity, blindness, heart
disease, arthritise and Sterility.
They also point out that VD is
found in all economic and racial
groups.

of Labor, with headquarters in
Los Angeles, spent several days in
Phoenix last week, where he has
seven inspectors at the present time
checking violations of the Fair La
Dor Standards Act.
Mr.. Elrey said the large number
of inspectors at this time was due
to the cotton picking season when
hundreds of families come from
other states and put their children
in the cotton fields instead of in
school. He said many violations
were found, but conditions were
considerably improved over recent
years.
