New York City-To pay tribute
today to our great Lady of the ma
ton, Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune,
is joy and an honor, and we as
women should surely keep her as
our symbol forever.
So let US as members of the Ma
tional Council of Negro Women or
if we are not yet members let us
become so TODAY by sending our
donation to the headquarters in
Washington, D. C. 1t will take
such an organization like NCNW
to wipe out &c, Discrimination, or
any of such bug-bearers. Think
what one woman can do in cam
paign for right, so you know what
100000 can do. In Unity there is
strength and in our women there
is great strength.
Whoever takes the place as Head
of the NCNW must be one to take
direction, advice, and guidance
from Lady Bethune-the one who
organized the Council and surely
has made it felt all over the world.
Any other person who might be
filled with ego or that greed for
power to rule would not do the
NCNW the good that should be
evident at all times. THINK.
We must know that NCNW
means the pooling of all those
thoughts from the great heads of
Organizations which have brought
our women to the front the nation
over. Thoughts, Prayers, and Ac-
tons from Sororities, Missionary
Societies, Temples-as sisters to
various Lodges, and all other
women Groups can surely do much
to make this United States better
place in which to live. Remember
the worth of the NCNW and do
your part to keep it moving on in
the right direction and with the
right force.
Stand behind such gallant fig
ure as Lady Bethune and give your
support to her, her next President,
and to the working Body of the
Council. In other words keep the
ball a-rolling as it should roll and
victory will always be ours.
Leaving with you just one thou
ght Garry on with Love, Prayer,

The meeting and conference has
been called for the purpose of
studying the affect of the new VA
regulations on the opportunity for
Mississippi Negro Veterans to at
tend school and obtain training and
education under the CT. Bill.
Chairman Rundles pointed out
that the Mass Meeting and Confer
ence was called by the Veterans
Committee of the Mississippi State
Democratic Association because as
presently organized the Negro
Post in the American Legion, and
units of other veterans organiza-
tions in the state have as yet no
independence of action and are
therefore powerless to call meet
ing in which to give voice to their
complaints and seek a remedy for
conditions adversely affecting
Negro Veterans.
Further information about the
meeting can be had by writing to
the Mississippi State Democratic
Association 1872 N. Parish

Oliver Franks, the British AM
bassador, and Hume Wrong, the
Canadian Ambassador.
Accompanying Nehru were Mrs.
Indlira Gandhi, his daughter; Sir
Girja Shankar Beipai, Secretary
General, Ministry of External At
fairs, and M. o. Mathai, private
secretary.
Pandit Nehru spent the evening"
at the Blair House as the guest
of President and Mrs. Truman and
also was her guest at state din
ner there at the evening.
Special Guests
In addition to Nehru's party 9TH
er guest at the dinner included
Chief Justice and Mrs. Fred M.
Vinson, Speaker Sam Rayburn of
the House, Mr.. Acheson, Secretary
of Defense and Mrs. johnson, Sena-
tor and Mrs. Tom Connally and
10y w. Henderson, American Am
bassador to India.
The dinner reflected the absur-
dity of race prejudice in this coun-
try. Ordinarily, Senator and Mrs.
Connally and Mr.. Rayburn would
not even think of eating at the
same table with colored guests.
That would be race equality. But
apparently they had no qualms a.
bout accepting President and Mrs.
Truman's invitation to dinner with
perhaps the most influential states
man in Asia.
Nehru has been reported dis
trustful of the United States and
leaning toward Soviet Russia and
has held himself aloof III the fight
of the fight of the Western pow
ers against the spread of Com
munism.
A reception was given for the
Prime Minister at the Indian
Chancery last Wednesday afternoon
and that night Secretary of State
and Mrs. Acheson gave a dinner in
his honor at Anderson House.
Nehru moved from the Blair
House Wednesday to the Indian
Embassy where he was the guest
of his sister for the remainder of
his visit here.
Long Desire"
Pandi Nehru replied that his
visit to the United States 'brings
about the fulfillment of long-felt
DESIRE"
Speaking in English, ne continu-
ed: 81 come to you, Mr.. President,
bring to you and to this great re-
public the cordial greetings of my
government and my people of the
new republic-to-be of India, and ]
trust that these two republics of
the Western world and the East
ern world will find many ways Of
working together in friendly and
fruitful cooperation to our mutual
advantage and for the good of
humanity"

The pagsantry with which Nehru
was received suggest that the Uni
ted States intends to impress upon
him that American can treat dark
er peoples of the world on basis
of equality.

to get a glimpse of second class
citizenship imposed upon colored
Americans. while in the United

His Fathers Will If You
Expect To Get In
Money is at the root of the church
And the lover of money is sin,
Most churches are taxing the men,
bers
Unless you pay you cannot
get in.
Did Christ say be also as | am?
And followers of me are you,
Christ was not a beggar of money
/ am asking how can we go thru.
My people we must understand
Gods holy words tell you so,
In all of your getting be sure to
get understanding
If not where will you go?
Don't try to change the meaning
of Gods words
Gods words mean nothing less
than that,
Yet you are trying to change Gods
word
Trying to suit both white and
black.
Good people please Almighty God
And then you have done it all,
Love one another he said
You will be ready when He calls.
Some are trying to please the
people
For the price that is on their
tongue,
Yet Jesus said love We one an
other
And his Fathers will will be
done.
Unless we obey Gods will
Your soul is lost as well,
With all of your education today
You have made your home in
He'll.
When you get too wise to obey
Gods will
With many of follows as we'll,
My people are lost for the lack of
knowledge
And their souls are doomed to
He'll.
God hid all these things from the
wise today
And revealed them to the babes,
The meek and humble are the
saints of God
The disobedient won't behave.
The root of sin is wrecking Gods
house
The lover of money is the root
of all sin,
If the church is begging and lust
ing for money
How do you expect to get in?

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT Is times getting any
better? When ever you hear Aunt
Haggars Chilluns asking that
question they Amt talking about
the price of pork chops and candy
vans, what the parity price is for
cotton and cotton seed, nor how
much the leading stocks are rising
and falling on the boards of the
local Bucket Shops" and the New
York stock exchange. Being lack
he is, Aunt Haggar's Chilluns
done long ago figured out that it
amt much use of him worrying
about no depression, seeing as it
is that in good, fair times or foul
he generally is able to tip up on
his daily bread and greens with
sometimes a little meat. What
Aunt Haggar's Chilluns are talk
ing about when they ask the ques-
ton, Is time getting any better?
has to do with nothing but how the
folks with the money and the power
is thinking about Aunt Haggar's
Chilluns, and how they should be
treated, and how they should get
along in this world, according to
the latest evidence. Sitting over
their fish and beer along side me,
heard some Saturday Nighters
talking about the latest evidence,
which they used as them Judges
up in the United States Supreme
Court who said that didn't want to
hear no more about the cases of
Willie MCGEE, Albert Lee, Herman
Moore, and Willie Price, in all of
which it looks to most of Aunt
Haggar's Chilluns that justice
wears that blindfold to keep from
seeing. When they had discussed
and discussed, in a sort of last
pitch of bewilderment and frus-
tration, one fellow ups and says,
Show Nuff man, Is times getting
any better? As l kept on eating
and drinking and thinking it came
to me that that question always
being asked by Aunt Haggar's
Chilluns illustrates one of our
worst faults, especially amongst
us here in the good old Magnolia
State. The fault I'm talking about
is the fault of sitting around
wishing, hoping and waiting, and
praying them prayers that seldom
gets any higher than the ceiling,
when the call is to be up and
doing. It is the things we haven't
done that sent those cases to the
U. S. Supreme Court in the first
place. One of the is failing to
,gister, pay poll tax, and vote,
