Sterrett Tells OF
Winter Vacation In
California, Florida

Laurel Rotarians, their visitor
and four guests, were entertained
with an illustrated travelogue
Tuesday noon by R. H. Sterrett,
who described a vacation trip he
and Mrs. Sterrett had recently
made through the southern states.
The time they ere away from
home was a little more than three
months, during which they toured
some 20 states and enjoyed the
winter pleasures of California and
Florida. They left Laurel in Jan
uary and returned last week.
Sterrett, a member of the Laurel
club, who maintained his attend
ance record by visiting Rotary
clubs in the cities along the route,
was presented at the meeting Tues
day by c. G. Scott of the program
committee. Merritt Williams, SER
geant-at-arms, introduced w. C.
Smith, Billings Rotarian; Bill
Shoop, Wayne Willis and Albert
E. Leuthold, Laurel, and DR.. w. B.
Spaulding, Great Falls.
Sterrett's travelogue was illu-
strated by still pictures in colors
he had taken en- route. They be-
gan by showing the S~terrett's de-
parture from Laurel, with snow on
the ground, and of their arriving
in California, in more and deeper
snow. The trek across Arizona was
through sage brush, cactus and
sand; the mighty Mississippi river
was nearly over its bikes at New
Orleans; people in Florida were
having fun and eating tropical
fruits.
The Sterretts had made their
way leisurely, stopping as fancy
dictated. In California they were
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. C. l.. Nor
ris; in the trailer camps there
were always hail fellows from the
various states.

EDITORIAL

The Chicago Race Relations
commission, urges good citizens to
"Tell EN- OFF" when because of
race, color or religion, hateful
persons vilify and scott.
In Washington, our nations
capitol, the federal F. E. P. G.
bill has been kicked and badgered
around in a shameful way. Only
a few, including President Tru-
man, are willing to make it a
clear cut issue. Others have their
eyes and ears back home to as
certain if the issue will cost or
gain them votes. In this such poll
ticians are proving the lie OF the
word tolerance" and the Negro
with admirable patience tolerates
the Misunderstanding Of those who
were elected to office with a
substantial block Of Negro votes.
It is ironical that in our same
nations capitol the living condi-
tons ofthe Negro as well as white
tolerance of his well-being is little
better t than the plight of his
brothers in the Negro slums Of
the capitol of South Carolina. The
most gifted sons ofthe Negro race
are still denied half equal right
in dining rooms, hotels and the
like, when the human debris from
"skid row" would be welcome in
the tuxedo of a Dixiecrat cong
ressman.
So far as we know, not many
of the white friends of the Negro
holding senatorial or congressional
togas have raised their official
voices to bring about reform. It
is about time to call a halt on such
intolerant political hypocrisy. Let
us admit that tolerance in mat
tiers of this kind is a contemplate
lie. Let us, therefore, have the
federal F.E.P.C. law now. It's en-
actment is long overdue. The
time has come when so-called
friendly congressman and sena-
tors must stand up and be count
ed. The Negro has been politically
double-crossed long enough.

Upholds Dixie In
Censorship OF
Negro Movies

ATLANTA AMP United States
District Judge M. Neil Andrews
ruled last week that Dixie censors
may ban movies showing Negroes
in a decent light.
He declared that movies are not
a part ofthe press and consequent
ly may be censored. The case
stemmed from Atlanta's knitting
of Lost Boundaries, the story bas-
ed onthe life of a Negro doctor
and his family in New England.
The suit was filed by the Readers
Digest-D erechement Corporation
and Film Classics, Inc, of Holly
wood. They sought to restrain
Christine Smith, Atlanta censo
from banning the movie. 1
The decision will be appealed
to the U. S. Supreme Court, ac-
cording to Morris Abram, attor-
ney for the plaintiffs. Judge An
drews ruled that as long as NOV

F. of L.
If one cannot tolerate a person
or a race of people and proclaims
it tothe world, he is considered on
those particular subjects as being
intolerant. There r thousands OF
well respected men and women in
all walks of life who are, in their
communities, considered to be the
very ssence of tolerance and who
at heart are bigots to the core.
The word tolerance" is the larg-
est lie in the English language. 1t
is our most weasel word. If We
could only read the minds of So
called tolerant people, we would
discover that hate still secretly
predominates the true character of
millions who for business, social
or political reasons tolerate things
they actually hate.
Recently at a health resort in
n Of our southern states we met
q man who could find nothing
wrong with our beautiful hotel ex-
cept that "the Jews have taken
possession. When we protested
the remark, the usual crawfish act
was forthcoming - "Now please
don't misunderstood me. I like the
Jewish people," He was a pure
and simple unadulterated liar.
He hated the Jews but back home
he secretly tolerated them be-
cause he wanted to be a regular
guy or something.
It is needless to mention the
secret terrific anti Catholic feel
ing which predominates in SO
many sections Of our nation. Oh
yes, in the open the bigot praises
the Catholics as being "good
people,. On the surface these in
tolerant DR.. Jekyls and Mr.. Hy-
des are very tolerant, but let a
Catholic aspire for political office
in these localities and he is buried
beneath an avalanche of votes by
those who mark their ballots with
their genuine narrow character in
stead of with their supposedly toll
Grant reputation.
The Jews and Catholics are well
able totake care of themselves but
when we come to the Negroes OF
our nation the picture is al.
together different. The Negro is
the personification of tolerance o.
those things that cut him to the
heart. He is making tremendous
Roadway under adverse condition!
only because he is learning how t.
cast his b ballot and many o.
the politicians who are posing a
his friends are as secretly intol
Grant of him as was the man dow
