night after night and tellmeabout
the parties you and Mrs. Daley
had. With young boys. And the
food she cooks to tempt them.
And how she encouraged you to
f1irt with them. Didn't you,
Sylvia?"
Sylvia said: I'VE didn't have
parties every afternoon, Mother.
And some of them were really
LIS gang, l guess. Maybe -"
Mrs. Ingels turned back to
Abby and George. I'm going to
take this to the Board of Educa-
ton 1t cones to a pretty pass
when working woman can't
trust other mothers"
BIC George Strengthened. Go
ahead. Mrs. Ingels. Only I'm
thinking of your daughter. You
must love her, but I'm afraid
you don't understand her, the
way we do Liz. She acts grown
up, but she's just a little girl.
She was lonesome, lonesome for
your attention along with every
thing else Abby did try to intro
duce her to a few boys, to help
her get over her shyness. But if
Sylvia told you anything else.
she was just making up stories to
get your attention.
Little George said: Mother
even made me talk to her once.
With apple pie as a lure"
Suddenly, there was a furry
in the center of the room. Liz,
using surprise tactics, had
dragged Sylvia off the sofa and
onto the floor. Kneeling over
Sylvia, Liz was using her fists
with accuracy which proved that
her brother wasn't captain of the
college boxing team without
teaching his sister something.
Mrs. Ingels screamed. stop
her before she -"
Little George reached down
and anchored firmly onto his sis
ter by the back of her dungarees.
He lifted her up, paving and
kicking.
Lay off, kid. You've prob
ably, blacked her eye"
SHE can't lie about my moth
er. If everybody else lets her get
away with it, l won't. She ="
Liz stopped struggling and her
feet took solid hold on the floor.
DO you really think She have
a shiner?"
Sylvia tottered to her feet.
Mother, let's go home"
Abby stood up. Let me put

That's what used to do when
George was little"
Sylvia turned her back on
Abby. MY mother will fix it,
thank you. Come on, Mother"
She held out her hand. Mrs.
Ingels got up uncertainty. Her
eyes circled the room She said:
Sylvia, if you were really ly-
ing -"
Lets go home, Mother."
Mrs. Ingels took Sylvia s hand.
In a minute, the front door
slammed behind them.
Abby grinned at her daughter.
well! I don't suppose you
should have hit her but - Do
you remember when you were a
little girl in Sunday school and
during the prayer you blrted
out ="
Liz said to her brother: 1T
really is going to turn black?"
He nodded. She sucked in her
breath. On her it will look
good.
Big George put his arm around
his wife. How about a date to-
night? Dinner at the hotel.
George can mop the kitchen,
and Liz can cook dinner for the
two of them"
LITTLE George clapped his hand
to his head. Sorry, no dice. l
have a date. Good-by, ALL"
Abby waited until the front
door closed. Then she rubbed her
chin against her husband s sleeve.
Liz, get dressed and come
with us. Well let the kitchen go
until tomorrow.
Liz turned slowly and looked
at her mother. ''Okay, only if
you're going to the hotel. Mother,
please wear a hat. Nobody in
town has hair cut like yours.
And if Pop orders cocktails,
don't ask for two cherries. And,
Mother, now that you and Mrs.
Ingels have had a fight, I hope
you let your hair grow. Hon
estly ="
Abby's fists clenched. Then
she felt her husbands hand fold
over one of them. She looked up
at him. He closed an eye in an
elaborate wink. Suddenly, Abby
wanted to giggle. But she didn't.
She said, solemnly:

Forward To Present
Day Negro Youth"
By John Henrik Clarke for AMP

By John Henrik Clarke for AMP
Forward, always forward, forward is
the command;
Look not on dead yesterday,
At present battle is at hand.
Raise your voice in splendid tones,
So sleeping men can hear;
Don't be backslider in the ranks,
Be pioneer.
Don't hold behind your lips,
Words that you wish to say;
Rip your torch in the oils of cour-
age;
Light it and lead the way.
know your burden is heavy
And your goal seems not in sight,
Travel on with your heavy burden
And your weary road will lead to
light.
Forward along lifes rugged road,
Believing that right is might;
When the ad seems dark ahead of
you,
Self-confidence will be your light.
Even if it seems that your weary
path.
Is hidden from the sun,
Never lay down your weapon
Until the battle is won.
Again, say, forward.
Forward like fighting men; -
Though life's mountains are steep
and rugged
With courage you can ascend.
Forward with courage and conf.
dence;
Other men will rise with eagerness,
To follow your fearless trail.

Negroes Object To Site OF
Proposed Park In Little Rock

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - amp
Negro leaders who led the fight for
Negro park in Little Rock oppos-
ed site of the new park as recim-
mended by the city Planning COM
mission report, last week. Other Ne
groes, however, favored the spot.
The City council, too, seems to be
confused and divided over the issue
1t voted 6 to to override the COM
mission plan, but this was not the
necessary three fourths majority
needed. 1t then voted 5 to 4 against
approving the plan.
Sec. w. H. Bass of the Urban
league, leader of the drive for the
bond issue to get park for Ne
groes objected to the plan. 1t calls
for the setting up of a park at
South End-Crump field. Opponents
favor locating the park at 14th and
Ringo streets. Bass favoring the
latter site, said:
II want to say right now that /
think it's absolutely unfair This
building will be used by Negroes
and no Negro had a part in making
that recommendation"
He predicted racial disagreement
if the commission plan was approx
ed complaining:
This will set scene that causes
us to feel that we don't have
friends in public office"
A group of As Negroes favored.
the commission plan calling the al,
ternate plans method of putting
Negroes Gin the woods"
Other supporters of the alternate
site pointed out that it was better
than the recommended site particu.
larry because of mosquitoes in the
recommended place.

Local 968 Yells
Jimcrow, Union
Office Yells Reds In
Longshoremen Fight

NEW YORK - (ANP) - 1t was
one Negro local, local 96S, against
five White locals last week as dis
sention arose at the headquarters
of the international Longshoremen's
association, AFL.
Members of local 96S complained
that the union was jimcrowing
them and giving them only "hand-
out" jobs on Brooklyn piers. They
picketed the, offices day after day.
Last week they conducted sit-in
strike in the offices of lila.
Joseph p. Ryan, president lila.
has a different story, however. He
calls actions by local 96S Com
munist inspired" He said its mem
bers were getting more work and
a better deal now than any other
local and the records will prove
it,"
Last week differences between the
factions reached an impasse when
physical violence took place, and
the police moved into the fray.
First, after five hour sit-in
strike in the lila headquarters 50
Negroes were evicted bodily by a
larger group of loyal union mem
bers of the White locals.
Second, the White groups set up
counterpicket line in opposition
to local 96Ss line. This forced the
police to divide the picketing area
for the Negro group in half.
Third, all picketing was ended
when about 1900 White longshore-
men took off from their jobs about
10 am, Wednesday, and rushed to
attack the 200 picketing Negroes.
Police jumped in before any of the
picketeers got hurt. After this Incl
dent. all picketing was banned by
This ended IS weeks of continu-
Gus placard carrying by the mem
bers of local 96S against the AFL
union. White locals participating in
the attack were 1871, $50, Ss5, 1858
and 1916.
Still unsettled is what the lila
cal 96S and the question OF whether
will do about the complaints OF To-
this local will be expelled from the
union or not. Ryan said he plann-
ed to call meeting of the liza New
York district council to discuss
what is to be done with the Brook
lyn local.

Corn Re-Sealinq
p!!raqram Planned
Would Tend To
{ Slow Marketing

A corn resealing program in
areas where both purchase
agreements and loans are avail
able, was announced today by
the production and marketing
administration of the u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.
Under the new program, Noble
county farmers may extend their
loans on 194S crop corn to ma
ture July 81, 1850, and put pur-
chase agreement corn under loan
to mature July 81, 1850.
Farmers who extend their
loans or put the purchase agree
ment corn under loan will be en-
titled to storage payment of
ten cents a bushel if the corn is
delivered to the commodity
credit corporation at maturity of
the loans.
Under the original program,
loans on 1948 crop corn become
due, on September |, 1949. To-
days announcement gives farm
ers the option of paying off loans
at that time, delivering the corn
to the commodity credit corpor-
alton not later than Oct. 81, 1949,
extending the loans to mature on
July 81, 1850.
The program is designed to
tsoW down the excessive move
ment of corn off the farms that
would result from heavy deliv-
cries of loan and purchase agree
mnet corn to the CCC this fall.
A total of 243 million bushels of
1948 crop corn has been put un-
der loan and So million bushels
under purchase agreements.

country with his parents when
he was seven years of age. He
attended st. Mary's school, Rock
Island, ILL.,, and Sacred Heart
parochial school in Baltimore,
Md. He applied for enrolment
in the new Josephinum seminary
which was being established in
Columbus. Here he completed
his studies for the priesthood
and was member of the first
class to be graduated from that
now famous institution.

at Fulda, since 1880, the church
has been completely remodeled
and redecorated; St. Mary's hall
was constructed; the rectory has
been renovated and heating
