sists on it constantly. and says I
furthermore should be careful
never to overlook it because of
the children. So for everything
from a glass of milk to handing
me the newspaper, it is please do
| it. and then it's thank you.
Unless there can be some happy
medium found, III slowly go crazy

You should say it more often
than not. If there is effort on her
part, say she has to get up to get
you something naturally you
would say thank you. If she is
sitting near you and merely hands
you the newspaper, it would not
be necessary. Remember, how
ever, it doesn't take any more
effort to say Some bread, please"

Trade Where You
Can Work

This past week, in going along
with our slogan, we interviewed
several stores and one of the
reasons we don't have more jobs
in at least two of the grocery
stores. here is-that we haven't
made any application for them,
according to the managers. (WeH
talk about this later.)
We went on South 18th Street
to Food City Market. The manager
wasn't in town and won't be for
about three weeks, but we talked
to the next best fellow there but
he didn't want to commit himself
because he wouldn't have the last
say. But he did say this: That the
store didn't practice any discrimlna-
ton in any form or fashion, but
was guided solely by ability.
We then went to see Reese
Vernon, who is the personnel man
ager of A. J. Baylesss We asked
about the policy of his company in
regards to hiring. He stated ability
to fulfill the job that's open. We
asked. then out of 10000 Negroes
here didn't he find any with the
ability to fill some of the positions
that had been open in his store?
The answer to. that was none OF
the 10000 had an application in
for these positions when they were
vacant. And that no application
has been received inthe last two
years. He stated that this company
has no policy against discriminate
ing against any race.
Young colored men and women
you can get job here (when they
are open) if you put in an applica-
ton and qualify, according to Mr..
Vernon.
Now it seems we are not trying
for better positions because we have
not put in our application. You
will have to find the job, it will
not find you, unless you are mighty
good.
Now if the high school or college
graduate who is looking for job
other than teaching, which field
is crowded in Phoenix, should put
in their application for various
duties with these firms, stores and
business, we would see more of
the Negroes working where they

The Negro Must Establish A Beach Head

There are several ways to thing All stories have
two Sides Every person being individual has his own
views the problems which confront him. and is usually
different from others
The American Negro is becoming very intelligent he
has to fight for first class citizenship at all times lie
isn't fighting with guns, knives etc. but with words and
character and the laws which govern this country.
Before go further lets get this straighThe Negro
is no coward he is not afraid to fight with guns and
knve for he proved that when his country called upon
him to defend "Old Glory than once. He came,
he saw he conquered. Even knowing that when he re-
turned he would still be that second class citizen
he before leaving.
It takes intelligence with plenty of CUTS to do this The
Negro has fought and will continue to fight for real de-
mocracy that has strings attached to it. He hasn't re-
sorted to the deadly iron wheapons and he will not;
but he will fight with what else he to make white
America understand that he wants democracy for all
not just the word.
Let's look at few fronts which the Negro has
established beach head to fight his battle Wherever
there is segregation and discrimination and that's most
everywhere, they are the main issues
If these two evils corrected, there would not be

THE THREAT TO FREE ENTERPRISE

An analysis of current proposals Tor soclazed gov
ernment electric development makes this observation
federal power programs fail to consider that the electric
companies and fulfilling their responsibility to the
nation In the four years 1916 through 1949 the electric
companies operating in the states Immediately affected
by the Interior Departments power construction program
will spent So, 900 100000 in expanding and i'm
proving their systems to better serve their customers
spending SO OOO 900 in the five years and
it will spend additional billions in the years that are to
follow" .
It is certainly automatic that the government should
do nothing commercial fields which free enterprise is
able and willing to do Careful breakdowns of the power
plans of the Interior Department show beyond argument
that many of it's taexempt electric projects unneces
sary that in other they will wastefully duplicate
existing facilities which capable of doing the job, and
that in almost all the regulated taxpayng utilities
eager to meet whatever need there is for additional
power service.
Then why should the government wish to spend more
of the taxpayers billions for power? The answer is plain
as day. The major impetus behind the sociaized power
program from those whose unwaverng goal the
total specialization of vital industry which the very
existence of depends regardless of the cost

THE RIGHT TO WORK

Writing in Newsweek under the title of '"The Right
to Strike Henry Hazltt says eve must lose sight
of the vital difference between the real right to quit work
peaceaby and the spurious right forcby to hers
from working From time mmemorial most union leaders
have tried to tie the two together in the package
and to practice the second in the of the first.
But the right to work is sacred the right to quit
work. and no less in need of protection"
The most obvious denial of the right to work found
in the closed shop which tells the worker effect that
he must join union adhere to union policy and pay
dues to union, or he will not be allowed employment
in the union shop plan under which the worker must
join the union after he has been employed for some
length of time And is also found in such technique
picketing which form of intimidation to prevent
people from taking jobs they want.
Labor be free until has the right to work
as we'll as to quit work.

WHAT PRICE GASOLINE?

What determines the price of gasoline?
The answer probably looks easy-in free economy

the supply situation But in the of gasoline

just product resulting from multi tproduct manu-

of gas the producer also make certain amounts of

New doctor Boat" Delivered

In Arctic Norway where the
country doctor makes his rounds
via boat, third sturdy little doc
tors schooner" has been added to
the hospital fleet in Finnmark
Province. Before 1947 when the
first of these ships was put into
service, doctors in the area had to
rely on whatever water transporta-
ton was available whenever they
had to visit patients in outlying
coastal settlements. The Nazi
scorched-earth campaign which de-
stroyed most medical facilities in
the province in late 1914 made it
more urgent than ever for doctors

to extend their activities, and in
1916 it was decided to use funds
collected for Finnmark relief for
the building of doctor ships.
The latest of these, the "Doktor
Skogsholm" is a 50-foot vessel
weighing 35 tons. 1t is equipped
with all the facilities found in a
doctors office ashore as we'll as a
small dispensary. Little time was
lost following the vessels delivery
in putting it into service, as the
need in Finnmark is acute.
The "Doktor Skogsholm" will be
stationed at Mehamn - headquar-
tiers of the district physician.
