WE LIVE IN HOPE!

We do live in hope if die in despair. AS race, we
don't despair easily having survived centuries of wlshfu
thnkingwe continue to wait for the cloud with silver
lining.
Every Negro in America has his eyes focused on the
White House, hoping Mr.. Truman and our congressman
friends will find way to put into action the civil rights
pan Big garing headlines in the papers tell Mr. Iru
having his Civil Rights Bill to present to Con-
gress with the aid of committee of experts on such eg-
lation.
By the fact that the Civil Rights Bill will originate
in the White House, we are hoping it will still have the
momentum when it reaches the senate to zip by those
Southern rebels
Should we be so concerned here in Arizona about
what taking place in Washington D. o. that we lose sgnt
should have their focused and open looking and
listening for something concerning their from
own State Capitol Mr. Garvey dld speak Few en-
couragng words about inorties in his inaugural address,
but words not enough Negroes IN Arizona want &C
on useless for of state elective offices to play
dumb as if they don't know what the Negroes want All OF
Arizonans desire the privilege to feel and live like men as
other citizens do Their desires were Thoroughly empha
sized during the last election campaign especially TO the
Maricopa County candidates and there snoud pe no eX
cuse on the part of the legislators others for failure to
recognize these DESIRES they value the Negroes vote IN
the next election.
If and when the Civil Rights and segregated school
bill come up which is understood WILL before this l9th
legislature adjourns we will see what friends mean
when they say 81 believe in the Constitutional rights of all
citizens regardless of color, or creed This was
very expression used during the primary cam
paign and the general election last year.
An inter-racal committee which met last Tuesday
night to formulate plans for the introduction of the Civil
Rights and segregated school BILL have an even chance
for success if they play the cards right.
The passing of this bill here in Democratic Arizona
should be cnch with the Democratic Party throughout
the nation dedcatng themselves to the proposition that all
created equal and have ma1enaOe nghI 10 lie
liberty the pursuit of happiness Why should there be
debate even such bill if our law makers are true
Americans?

ties, but pressure was brought to
bear to the extent of law suits
until such actions that were neces-
sary brought about the desired re-
suits. Teachers of Arizona and the
free West as it is sometimes called,
where is your pride, your stamina,
and your professional ethics?
Have you become so satisfied
that you are willing to accept any
thing offered you?
It does seem to me if I were in
your place, I would refuse to be
rated as a second class teacher by
the pay I receive below that of
my fellow teachers.
Personally, am opposed to sup
preston or any tendency toward
it. I would rather prove myself
worthy of consideration and conf
dence with those whom deal with.
But if there is no other recourse
by which I am to receive consid-
GRAFTON, then the laws of the land
must be resorted to, to gain that
which is my rightful heritage. Can

"A Careful Observer.

Dear Editor:
This is the beginning of "a new
year. Everyone is looking forward
to a more prosperous and a hap
pier life, that is every right think
ing person.
The political minded person is
hopeful because of the turn the
election took, they think the Negro
will be freed by the passing of the
Civil Rights Bill-to pass it is one
thing, and to enforce it is another,
but the passing and enforcing re-
mains to be seen. We will be hope
full of both.
Some are looking forward to
having mixed schools personally,
wouldn't want to see m TX d
schools with all our teachers idle,
but if mixed schools will give us
an equal mixed staff of teachers,
I am for the idea all the way.
Some are looking forward to US
ing less temper and intolerance
when it comes to the other fellow,
and cultivating more patience and
tolerance when they are tried to
the breaking point.
Those who read books are think
ing of what good books they will
read this year; and by the way,
how many of us are thinking of
supporting our own newspaper,
The Arizona Sun, when we think
of reading the news?
It's true we may get more cur
rent news from our daily papers,
but are you thinking of how we
could enlarge our paper by giving
it more support? The Arizona Sun
has a nice variety of good, whole
some reading that every race per-
son should be proud of.
Have you given it a thought,
that if everyone of us in the state
would send in our subscription for
the Sun, how it would enable our
editor to eliminate so many un-
desirable pictures of another race
you can hear 50 much complaint
about?
Are we thinking how much hap
pier we can be by making others
happy? Are we thinking how much
time and energy we are wasting
worrying about what the other
fellow thinks?
When we live righteous life,
which includes treating our fellow
man right, we haven't anything to
worry about, for God is for us
which is more than the world
against us.
What makes us really happy is
to know God is for us.
If we would spend more time

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor:
In last weeks issue this writer
left two questions open for dis
cussion: first was colored teachers
salaries here in Arizona.
I stated the salaries as whole
are from $500 to $500 below those
of white teachers with the same
experience and degrees, in a good
ly number of our school districts.
First. I wish to say to the Col
ored tax payers and parents in
such districts, when your teacher
is paid below the standard of
other teachers, you should unite
in one body and demand of the
local board that your teachers re-
ceive the same pay as those of
other teachers.
Is it not a fact that the educa-
ton of the Negro child is being
jeopardized by hiring teachers who
have not met the standards of the
state requirements, and too, by i'm
porting teachers who are not ac-
quainted with our states school
system and pay them salaries be-
low the standard? 1t does seem to
me the Negro teachers of our
state are a little slow in catching
on to this sort of thing and doing
something about it. So far as ]
am able to observe, there are un-
ions organized for the protection
of all workers except that of teach
erS.
In recent issues of the Chicago
Defender and the Pittsburgh Cour-
ier, it was noted that Louisiana and
few other southern states have
equalized teachers salaries. This, OF
course was not done by the free
will offer of local school authori-
Arizona sun., 1949-01-28

counting our blessings, and not
find so much to complain about,
we would be happier, and would
make the ones who have to live
with us happier.
The rain and the cold will make
our city a much healthier place in
which to live, we should all give
thanks for both.
To really see ourselves, we
should put ourselves in the other
fellows place, whom we are criti-
cizing. Try it-see if we couldn't
find an excuse under the same cir
cumStanceS.
I think every normal minded
person wants to be happy, and it
is so easy, if we will only try,
don't ask how. Figure it out for
yourself.
