Brewery Barriers
Down, Negroes
Upgraded

The age-old pattern of employ
ment practices in the brewery in
dustry of the United States has at
last been modernized with the in
clusion of some % Negroes in the
production phase of operations.
This announcement, made by the
National Urban League depart
ment of industrial relations, signals
the opening of a new and import
ant occupational field for Negro
labor.
This new development is taking
place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the
capital city of the brewing indus
try. Cooperating in this enlighten-
ed policy of hiring qualified work
ers on the basis of their merits
alone is the Blatz Brewing Com
pany, subsidiary of Schenley In
dustries, Inc, and the Clio Brewery
and Distillery Workers Local, Mil
waukee.
The former policy was the by
product of hostile union attitude
toward employment of Negroes on
the well-paid production jobs, and
brewery tradition in the employ
ment of white workers exclusively
for these jobs. Negro statesmen
have been employed for years by
the breweries, but the production
line was additionally considered
the restricted domain of white
workers.
Major credit for this significant
step is due the personnel divisions
of the brewery and the Clio union,
which two years ago won the right
to represent the brewery workers,
and the Milwaukee Urban League,
which for two years has been in
continuous negotiation with labor
ard management on this question.
The satisfactory adjustment of the
first Negro workers in these brew
cries provides another example of
successful indignation of skilled
Negro workers.
A spokesman for a Milwaukee
brewery said, "For many years our
organization has employed Negroes
on it's sales staff, and now, with
the addition of personnel we are
confident that they, too, will be a
strong and useful addition of pea
sonnet we are confident that they,
too, will be strong and useful
addition to our company. We are
very fortunate in having the Ur-
ban League doing the type of job
it is doing"

Mature
thoughts

While slept, these words were
spoken to me, your patience will
be rewarded"
| do not have an inflated idea
of how much patience | have, but
| know a feeling heart will lead
me not to show too much concern
when | should have faith and not
interfere.
also know that a good sense of
balance has caused me sometime to
call a halt in time to prevent my
being sunk, and others being sunk
along with me. And / know that
a good sense of balance has caused
me to be patient and have faith
and not Interfere.
We will suppose that | am a
backseat driver and I distress you
and divert your attention from
your driving. You should call a
halt on by backseat driving, but
you are patient with me until you
are made uncertain by my inter-
fering. Just at the moment you
are entering the part of the bridge
which does not have the black
painted struts overhead. The two
wheels on my side of the car start
sliding sidewise down a steep ce-
mented slant. But before they
can slide so much as two feet, |
throw my weight over to your side
of the car and gain a tight grip
by thrusting my arm through both
open windows. Your quick think
ing changes the momentum of the
car and we are safely back off
the slant.
Yet you shudder because you
glimpsed the so slender black metal
fence edging the bottom of the
slant, for you realize that it could
not have held back the momentum
of the descending car, or prevented
our being plunged down into the
water below. And so you now
proceed to install heavy piece
of transparent glass between you
and the backseat where | am again
seated on the opposite side from
you. And you don't care whether
| like it or not.

BELIEVE THE BIBLE 1T TELLS
US ALL THE SAME

The Bible tells us all the same
Jesus said in me you will find peace
Yet men are trying to use his power
From the greatest down to the
least.
Mans power is just a shadow
Besides the power of God
Unless we expect the love of him
Our way is going to be hard.
III.
He said the way Of the transgres-
sor is hard
So why not see your wrong
The love of God will save YOU
And give you an eternal home.
".
Too many earthly Gods today
God is frowning on our race
Too many members in Gods house
That are strictly out of their place.
V.
God said for his people to seperate
Have you obeyed his will
You have filled Gods House with
the world
Just for a Dollar Bill.
VI.
There will be wars and rumors of
wars
The holy bible tells us so
And the Black man should have
equal rights
Ii America expect for him to 90.
VII.
Why fight the race that made YOU
rich
When you fuss at him like a mule
You fooled him from his Native
home
Because he was ignorant and fool.
VIII.
Inc Black man can read and write
And figure just as well.
And make a number one soldier
Why say he fight like hell.

There will never be any peace
Some will never give us peace

Things That
Interest Women
HOW Do YOU LOOK?
By BESSIE F. BELL

Ii you want to keep your hair
keep it healthy. When your hair
thlns out a bid do not worry. for
II you are in good health there
will be new hair to replace it in
two or three months,
Oil does not flow through the
hair, since the hair is not hollow
Instead there is a little gland or
glands that lie beside the hair
Embedded in the skin or scalp that
gives your hair its glowing sheen.
Brush your hair plenty and slim
ulate the circulation. This helps
to keep your scalp healthy. If
ones hair is oily, all the more rea-
son for brushing it. This helps
to relieve this over-active condi-
ton of the oil glands and prevents
clogglng of the hair follicles.
DO not be afraid to shampoo
you hair frequently for this is the
only way to keep really healthy,
and beautiful.
And what you ask is good
shampoo? Well, almost any of
the liquid shampoos are good, since
they afford plenty of good rich
suds. But no matter what brand
OF shampoo you use, always be
sure to rinse well, because any
soap left in the hair will cause
the hair to look dull and unattrac-
tive.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: One of the worst argu-
ments that | ever heard two of
Aunt Haggar's Chilluns get into
got started when one of the broth
ers O-The-Blood, using the Good
Book as his authority, said to his
regular arguing Brother, Man, now
dare you go, you don't know what's
you talking about, | know, WHEN
1T RAINS HERE, 1T RAINS EV-
ERYWHERE. This was one of
them arguments, due to placing
bet on the wrong side that almost
ended in mayhem if not something
worse :. but for the intervention
OF a more sagacious mind who
made the decision to divide the
pledged spoils between the contend
ing brothers, which didn't do either
one any harm, but left them right
back where they got started.
Knowing them as | do, wondered
why the brother who brought UP
that subject didn't come forward
with one of the slick twists and
try to win that bet, but | guess
he did think that when it rains
here, it rains everywhere. While
it can't be done for the purpose
of winning bet, | was sitting
down waiting for my Goldcrest 81
and hot fish and figured out how
the claim that when it rains here
it rains everywhere can be ra-
tionalized, that is as far as con-
Germs Aunt Haggar's Chilluns.
Whenever one of Aunt Haggar's
Chilluns gets into some trouble
the burden of which lays on him
all the more heavy because he is
one of Aunt Haggar's ChilIun, a
lot of us forgets we're Aunt Hag-
gars Chillun too, and sets back as
far as we can to keep out of the
rain. But don't you fool youalls
self by thinking that you're set
ting back out of the rain, because
when it rains on one of Aunt Hag-
gar'S Chilluns it lains on all |
