Emily Post

A young woman writes me: "My
brother and I are deep in the
throes of argument over his man.
ner of answering the telephone at
home. He asks, Who Is calling?
when someone asks for me and he
doesn't recognize the voice. and
think that doesn't sound well
outside of an Office. At least not
for q member of the family. It
sounds either as though I were
being treated as a little girl, OF
else that he is prying."
First of all, if you don't want
him to ask, he shouldn't. But
for many people, particularly busy
people, it saves much needless in
terruption to have whoever an
swers ask this question. 1t may
be someone they have been wait
ing to hear from or someone they
can more easily call back later or,
not impossibly, someone they don t
wish to speak to at all. (Of course
if the person calling would say
who he or she is, it would not be
necessary to ask the question:

COLOR BAR

A. j. Siggins English Journalist writes for the AS
socated Negro Press under the caption Coor Barr Is
Greatest Obstacle To World Government"
He says:
world government and 'one world but in of the
plans put forward has there been the slightest notice
taken of the greatest obstacle to it.
This obstacle is the color bar imposed by all Of the
colonial empire powers-Britan, France, Belgium, Hol
land Portugal, Spain and the United States" t.
He quotes Winston Churchill who said that western
security is dependent absolutely upon the atomic bomb in
Americas hands, -"
Mr.. Sggins deals with his subject at length and it
makes interesting reading He suggests what he believes
is a sound plan for zone world
'It provides first that all national sovereigntes be
subordnated to world authority.
In order to guarantee that sovereign state shall
tain it's authority the world would be divided into 10
major sections These sections would be 60 by so degrees
IN extent and governed by sectional authorities with
control invested in Council of the World authority.
The IL sections would then be divided into sub-sec-
tons convenient for purposes The ultimate
size of each submit would be matter of discussion by
experts but all would have be accurately and equally
divided as parts OF the one world economic unit
Next, Tropical Neutrality should be laid out
and placed under the absolute control of the world author
ty, for use sanctions against aggressors if
essa but also to give confidence and focus attention
the whole plan.
Let those who want Just peace publicly declare that
l. eve opposed to all forms of race and color
discrimination and will not cooperate in any way with any
nation or ldlvldualS who practice such.
e We opposed to coonalism in all its forms and
will not cooperate in any way with any nation indv
duas who practice it, support it actively otherwise"
Then and not until then will the support of all peace
loving peoples be behind drive toward world world
government and just peace
There is something to think about in this plan At
least it could stand discussion.

COURSES OFFERED
VOCATIONAL HOMEMAKING

Recently in this column, I dis
cussed the advisibility of and many
advantages to be gained from the
establishment of a public night
school in Miami to serve this vi
cinity in many ways. The proposal
was received very warmly by the
community at large, and efforts are
still being applied to bring it to a
reality.
In connection with the night
school proposal, was very happy
to learn that courses in vocational
home-making are now available at
nights at both Booker T. Washing
ton and Carver High Schools. Ac-
cording to information obtained
from Mrs. Helen Culmer, registra-
ton for adult classes will be held at
Carver High School on Monday,
September Is, from s to 8 pm, and
at Washington High School on
Tuesday, September 10, at the same
hours.
The following courses will be Of
fered: Home Improvement, Home
Mechanics, Cooking, Sewing,
Home Nursing, Upholstering, Arts
and Crafts, Baby Sitting and Child
Care and Development.
The courses are free to everyone.
But students must be at least is
years of age in order to register.
This is a forward step and should
so a long way toward helping 20
solve many problems in this com
munity, as well as toward the
eventual establishment of our pub
lie night school for general courses

THE SPECTATOR
BY ELLIOTT j. PIEZE
MIAMI CURBs REDS


In keeping with the general trend
Of the times, the Miami City Com
mission on last Wednesday voted
unanimously on second reading for
an ordinance which in effect puts
curb on all Communists, Com
munist front organizations and
Communist sympathizers in the in
corporate limits Of the city OF
Miami.
Members of the Progressive party
and other proponents Of the Com
munist movement appeared before
the Commission in opposition to the
measure; but it was passed in no
uncertain term, and it will become
effective in 80 days.
Specifically, the ordinance re-
quires:
Communists and those who fol-
low the communist line to register
and be photographed by the police
Identification bureau if they remain
in Miami more than 4S hours.
Publication in a daily newspaper
of the full text of Communist or
ganization literature at least 10
days in advance of distribution.
Notice to the police chief at least
10 days in advance of any meeting.
The measure is designed and cal
culated to curb all Communist ac-
tivities and all other activities as
sociated with the communist move
ment in this city, and all indica-
tions point to the fact that that is
exactly what is going to be done.
From time to time during the
past several months, this column
has called attention to this alarm
ing condition right here in our COM
munity, in particular, and in the
country at large, in general. 1t has
pointed out the dangers that exist
in, the movement, and the shrewd
technique by which they are ap-
piled. 1t has advised the communi-
ty against such movements.
Now, in view of existing condi-
tions, the City Fathers have made
the first official city-wide move to
stop these dangers in this city.
Many other communities are taking
similar actions, and the national
congress is now in the midst of a
debate on bill, which will have
similar effects upon Communists in
the nation as a whole.
There will be many who will not
approve of the move taken by the
city commission in this matter
There will be others who will go so
far as to try to stop the measure
from being put into effect. And still
others will deliberately confuse the
issue in order that the real pur-
pose will not be understood by the
people at large.
This column goes on record as
completely endorsing the move
taken by the city commission on
the Communist issue. After study
ing the matter for several years, l
have come to conclusion that such
moves are the only means by which
we can curb this menace and Sc
curely protect ourselves And our
country from further dangers in
days to come. More power to the
city commission.

The Miami times., 1950-09-16

The Communists are going to
have a hard time with the new
laws being passed to curb their ac-
tivities, but in wartime, especially
the country must be watchful for
spies. You cannot honestly serve two
flags, and if you like the red one
best, you should voluntarily give
up the red, white and blue. These
laws are stringent and unless these
trusted to investigate are honeet
and careful, many liberal minded
people might be humiliated unnec-
essarily.
