Things That

HOW DO YOU LOOK?
By BESSIE F. BELL

Strange to say that which is so
good for us can at the same time
prove to be very bad for US. Name
ly, the sun. And right now | am
afraid Old Sol is doing Lis good
worst. For at least two months
we will no doubt get great deal
of same, therefore, we who wish to
guard our beauty as well as COM
fort, must devise means of COM
batting this "friend and foe."
Even thought the thermometer
scars, you need not wilt. In sum-
mer, as we'll as in winter, the food
you eat has everything to do with
how you look and feel. One natural
ly must eat even in hot weather;
only make sure you keep away
from heavy rich food such as sau-
ces, fats, sweets and gravies.
Eat plenty of chilled honey dew
melon, chilled salads, and also in
clude some hot food in your daily
menu, but let it be Of the light,
quick cook variety.
Broil your meat instead of roast
ing. Remember to that eggs, cheese
and fish make good hot weather
eating. These foods are lighter and
at the same time they offer more
appetite appeal as well as keeping
up your protein substitute while
you are eating heavy meats.
Don't worry about the quantity
of food you eat, instead, concen-
trate on keeping a proper balance
i'll your daily intake. Each day eat
some green or yellow vegetables;
milk, by all means, and butter. too.

mind that even if defense were our
only objective, we would need a

our defense program. Great care
must be taken that we do not de-

Some observers say that Mr..
Truman is not always consistent.
So what Senator Truman said may
not be what President Truman
will do. However, industry's notable
World War II record has swung
public opinion in its favor.

Who Will Be Able To Stand

Who Will Be Able To Stand
Must Gods world grow up in sin
And yet we are claiming Christ
How can you be a child of Christ
And living wicked life.
Claiming a father no not the child
Do you believe you are right
All of Gods Children are peaceful
And yet you say you will fight.
The sinful man believes in fighting
The spiritual man is for peace
And yet the world is full of war
From the greatest down to the
least.
If the church is to represent God
Why not carry out his plans
Stop adding and taking away from
his word
To suit the stiff neck man.
Do you believe the word Of God
If SO, why not in him abide
Stop getting in the house of God
Just for a place to hide.
You maybe hiding as you think
Yet Gods Eye is everywhere
He is giving justice to everyone
And the ways of God are fair.
God is calling for the hearts of
Yet men are calling for the brain
Brains has filled Gods house in
politics
And it's nothing but shame.
God can't use the big man today
Jesus said unless he comes as a
child
Heaven is not the big mans reward
And his works are not worth
while.
Gods great man is the little man
but the people S man is tne Dig
man today
Money has gotten the world stirred
up
On down world race astray.
We have to obey the word of God
If we expect Heaven to be our
home
So we might as well believe the
truth
Or leave the Church of God a.
long.

LIFE AT A
GLANCE
By RAY LAWRENCE

The following is an editorial in
the Sun-Reporter of San Francis
co, West Coast Negro Weekly,
on the conduct of Negroes on the
streets and in the Railways and
street corners.
Seventh Street in Oakland is
the principal Street on which
Negro businesses are located, as
such it draws greater number
of our people there who congregate
on its corners and in its doorways.
At times it is downright disgust
ing to walk along it. Women and
Children have to hear all sorts of
vulgar remarks and profane utter
ances. Men are ashame to bring.
their wives on the Street.
Something needs to lie done a.
bout this situation. A campaign
should be started by the citizens
of Oakland to rectify this condi-
ton. Maybe the placement of beat
policemen on the street would help
correct it. Some means need to be
devised to muzzle those who have
no respect for themselves or for
others.
People who do these things are
called exhibitionists, persons who
are suffering from inferiority COM
plexes. They feel that they must
be loud and vulgar to attract at
tention to themselves. (But) these
are the persons by whom the whole
of us are judged by some members
of the majority But it is a
matter that the whole community
should be concerned with and which
will take the whole community to
rectify."
This editorial would be valuable
in all of our Negro papers, for it
is life at a (reaD GLANCE.

Mature
Thoughts

The Christian way is the way
to life, and it is like short white
strip of road which takes you
straight through the open gate.
The ramp to death leads under
ground. If you find the true
meaning of the Christian way. you
can not miss the gate for it is
never shut.
To be really white is to be i'm
partial and have heart. The
color of your skin has nothing to
do with it, for the impartial way
is the Lords way of looking at
all people in all their relationships.
He takes into consideration the
fact that any weakness that shows
up on the other side, is also show
ing up on your side. Being mean
spirited and to gloat with salts
faction is not his way, and so he
would not hurry to be the first
to tell an in-law that her grand
son is hiding out from the draft.
Nor would he gloatingly add, "And
the President just said that any
selective service evasion will mean
September induction for that would
be rubbing it in.
An impartial judge has heart
and the Lord is just as much con-
cerned. for the boys welfare you
are particularly interested in IN
wartime as he IS. concerned for
the boys who are related to me.
And so, our pleas should be, Lord
exert thy power so that the cause
of this war shall cease to exist,
and any need for our loved ones
to fight shall cease to be. Then
we can add q personal prayer for
all those we are related to.

Now is the time to visit your
nearest "Health Center" and get
that much needed check-up so that
you will begin getting fit for Fall
and Winter and keep yourself
ready for any weather to come;
and by all means if you have a
Center in your community like the
Melbourne Center here in Harlem
on 125th Street then you are most
fortunate. Because we must keep
in mind that Charm is most evil

say. And believe it or not, the
electric bath seems to be a body
stimulant. Such Treatments keep
those in fit who are healthy and
does something for those who have
health problems.
There is no doubt that the be-
ginning Of Charm is from within
and surely based upon health. A
healthy body as well as q healthy

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Up in New York this
Wednesday night Sugar Ray Rob-
inson is putting his world cham
pion boxing title up and giving all
of his money to the Damon Run
yon Cancer Fund. While the last
was was going on Joe Louis gave
all Of his part of the money from
one Of his fights to the Navy Rec
reation Fund. l was thinking over
these things while enjoying my
fish and beer, and thought about
how my grandma, hearing of some
thing exceptional on the part of
one of Aunt Haggar's Chilluns,
after her special type of summary
would sum it all up by saying,
we's arising. A whole lot of folks
that used to have lot to give US,
is beginning to hold back, because
so many of US have enough, but
never show any kind of sign about
helping us. Those folks who used
to help can look out of their office
windows and see us riding down
the street in them big Cadillacs,
while someone of us is standing
there begging them to help some
cause or institution which we could
well put over ourselves, or at least
put up enough to show our interest
and concern to be real before go
ing to them. There is a show-nuff
good example in what Joe Louis
and Sugar Ray Robinson have done
for the big" among US. The
Big" among US like to get arouno
and talk about how much money
and property we got, and show Oft
in the spirit of me and mine, but
are never willing to do anything
really worth counted for the whole
of us. What Joe Louis and Sugar
Ray Robinson is showing for the
emulation of them that have
amongst Aunt Haggar's Chilluns
is that to be really big" don't
come from what you got but
what you give And the more
we learn that lesson, and follow
the example of Joe Louis anG
Sugar Ray Robinson, the more re-
spect we can claim for ourselves,
and the more respect we will have
from others.

siderable as construction workers absorbed local and out-of-town projects"
 Thirty days that means in April and the situa- ton is the same in all sections of Alaska. Construc- ton may and will probably be delayed account of the weather conditions, so perhaps May 1 will be the date to see the start of the short seasons work
 There will be some start in April of the fishing season but many of the unemployed here and in this section follow the season and will get employment. There is little opportunity for the outsider in this early fishing season. if at all.
 Agent Gssberg also stated his office has on file applications by men of nearly every craft and perhaps other employment agencies throughout the Territory can report the same situation
 The Empire has received night letter from a man in Portland Ore, saying he had read that mil lions of dollars have been committed for thousands of units of construction and he wife, his brother his wife's two brothers and children are ready to come to Alaska for the needed work and when should he leave for there?"
 Certainly the FILA has or will have vast sum for building units but did you ever stop and realize that nails lumber to fixtures, needed for this proposed construction and the greater part of the needs must be transported the States to specified construc ton sections.
 The Empire stated yesterday in the news columns that apartments for 986 families to be constructed in Alaska during the coming season So good but the material must be on the ground floor
 A good season of 1850 is promised but labor is again warned that it is better to secure contracts for jobs before coming and then be disappointed with existing conditions and if you do come regardless, leave the family back home, housing here and else where, isn't

Graft or Gratitude?

There's been a lot of loose talk about deep freeze units, perfumes, and such. Before you become prey to whispered innuendoes I ask you to examine yourself in the light of the scriptural injunction Let Him Without Sin Cast the First Stone During the war did you ever have to grease a sales manager in order to get supplies to keep you going? 3cfCre the war-and after did you evere have to slip a new suit to the purchasing agent ot some concern with which you want ed to do business?
 Did you ever serd your Con- greSsman a box of cigars? Did he send am back? Is all the liquor in your cellar paid for or did some of it come from guys who you hardly knew but who wanted to do business with you? How do you know but that you may need someone some day, like General Vaughan, to soften up your com mand performance with the Col lector of Internal Revenue?

Five Percent Isn't Bad

Moreover, it's about time we re- examined our attitude towards the so-called five-percenters. The fact is that the government needs cer- tain supplies, that there are small businessmen who have the stuff for sale, and that the man who brings them together is performing a service to the government and to the taxpayer. After all, booking agents get 10 percent for their ser vices. lecture agents get even more, so why should anybody kick at a reasonable figure like 5 percent to keep the wheels of business turn ing, to make as many people satis- fled as humanly possible, and to tighten the crushing burdens upon the President? He has been unfairly maligned (Vaughan, I mean) and as soon as I get Truman's apology I'm going to call halt to it.

Secret Meetings

Tt can now be disclosed that l have held several clandestine meet ings with General Vaughan, and that he has been largely success ful in convincing me that no per- sonal animosity was reflected in the Presidents apparent designation of me as an SOB. Vaughn, who is very familiar with the folklore of his native state, tells me that in Missouri the initials SOB are generally accepted as meaning sweet old bungler, as applied to che who, with good intentions in his heart, inadvertently does or says the wrong thing.
 While I am entirely willing to accept this interpretation, I felt that I was still justified in demand ing an apology from the President in view Of the fact that these in- itials are, in more enlightened sections of the country, associated with words that have an entirely different connotation, reflecting up on the birth or ancestry of the des- ignee.
 Right here I want to say that I was not in the least disturbed when the President nominated mt as an SOB. What did hurt m, deeply was that the Senate wa ready to unanimously confirm tn appointment.
