Presidents Are Urgll 10
Read Their Constitution
AS Much as Possible
Dear Presidents:

l am exceedingly anxious That
~ch OF you sruoy your consurar5n
as much as you possibly can. study
Ia order that you might have Al
-4oUie7g9 Of the working Of the As.
soeiation. Unless you know the
works and doiings of the Association
it is impossible to instruct those who
have a better knowledge Of the
things involved than you. 1t is pa
thetlc to see a man attempting to-
instruct others when he has not kept
abreast with the law himself.
Tt is bit pathetic to see a man
or woman trying to instruct, advise,
and suggest something that he is al
together ignorant Of. Presidents,
when you don't know, you just 39n't
know, and the only way you viii
know is by studying your law and
getting an understanding after stu
dying. If you know what can be
done and what cannot be done, you
don't have to worry: just "sit pat"
The boards are held strictly for
the purpose or paying off cur hon.
ored dead. Anything other than
this is absolutely secondary. Any
body who attempts to change this
law is working in opposition to the
Association. Some might suggest
this, that, and the other to be done
IN the quarterly BOARD meetings,
hqweVer as long as those of US
INV What the boards are held for,
wa Do got have to worry to become
alaAlad over what some individual
might suggest or would like to see
done in these particular boards. This
procedure has not just started. It
has taken this course since the Or
ganization of the Association. If .
person does not know, he just 6sxe
not know. Il

Mrs. Bethune Leads
Haitian Orphan
Campaign

WASHINGTON - (ANP) - Mrs.
Mary Mcleod Bethune is enlisting
the support of women throughout
the country in an effort to help pro-
vide a shelter and home for refugee,
orphaned, Haitian Negro children.
During her recent visit to the Carib-
bean Republic, Mrs. Bethune learn
ed that the thousands of homeless
waits who might grow up into good
citizens If given half an opportunity
constituted one of the greatest juv-
emile problems facing the country.
The proposed home has already
been started under the leadership
Of Nine. Lucienne Estime. wife of
the President of Haiti. Its founda-
ton has been lain and construction
started, largely through funds gath
cred by American Friends, a Quaker
organization, through Mrs. j. Max
Bond two years ago, but funds are
sorely needed now for major con-
struction work.

CIVILIAN AIDE EVANS
BACK FROM EUROPE

WASHINGTON - (ANP) - James
G. Evans, civilian assistant to the
secretary of defense who has just
recently returned to the United
States from a sea training tour on
the battleship Missouri and through
points in Europe, is back at his desk
in the Pentagon. Evans who was
accompanied by Lusius c. Harper,
production editor of the Chicago De-
fender and p. b. Young Jr., editor
of the Journal and Guide left the
ship at Cherbourg and made a trip
through Germany inspecting various
military units and installations and
comforting with military officials on
problems relating to our soldiers
there. Among these was Col. Mar
Gus Ray, assistant to the command
er of troops in Germany who relay
ed number of reports. Young and
Harper arrived in America Septem-
Der %.
A complete report of the civilian
assistants observations is being
made to the authorities and it is I'M
derstood that some of his recon-
mendations are already being nipple
mented.
Evans remarked that one of his
indelible impressions while he was
in Europe was that all of this bus
mess of racial differences when seen
from afar seemed just like lot of
monkey business. He undoubtedly
developed the viewpoint that the ac-~
complishment and achievement and
conduct of the individual was i'm
portant from the viewpoint Of people
in the rest OF the world. One got
the impression that he felt that Sc
lectivity for important tasks must
be we'll done.

Under the permanent registration
system, inaugurated in 1915 by Dade
county and used for the first time
in the 1947 city commission election,

Formerly, Miamians had to regis

caused double work and great deal
of confusion among voters.

istration who will put the books in
