the needed stamina and spirit"
Retired, undefeated, heavyweight
champion, Joe Louis struggles
against poverty and physical hard
ship are the most dramatic of
recent times, the ex-champion de-
clares in the article he wrote for
the magazine. He continues:
Joe Louis knew what 1t was
to work hard in a broiling sun.
Cash money he rarely saw. Even
when he left the South, poverty
logged him and he had to strug-
gle TO live.
HE became stronger. tougher
finer man and when he became a
professional boxer he was a finer
one for it ALL" Dempsey asserts.
The Manassa Mauler points out
that the case of Joe Louis is not
rare. He is typical of other greats
such as welterweight champion,
Sugar Ray Robinson and light
weight champion, Ike Williams.
Many great white fighters like
Rocky Graziano, Tony Zane, and
Jake LaMotta, had the same back
ground.
Bookings next truly great
heavyweight champion may be
black or white, Christian or Jew,
Irish or Italian" Dempsey says.
No one can predict his color, re-
ligion, or nationality, but I can
say this with confidence" he con-
cludes:
Biased on my own experience
and my 40 years observation Of
boxing and boxers, the next
great fighter will be man who
came up the hard way, expert
encing the rough knocks of life
and enduring the bitter poverty
and the pangs Of physical
hunger"

passed now. Inc appear AAteo "a
Senator Wayne Morse (R., ore.l
and Hubert Humphrey 3D., Mimi
both of whom concurred in the
common observation that Civil
Rights to all Americans must pre-
vail is a clear indication that
American Negroes in the future
will support for public office. men
and women for the things they
stand for rather than the party
to which they belong.
The sad note of the week was
the wide publicity given in the
press and over the air that num-
Der of Republicans and Dixiecrats
of the South had formed a coali-
ton to return the control of Con-
gress to the rules committee in
order that a small group of men,
bers could bottle up legislation and
prevent its being brought to the
floor of Congress for vote. Negroes
all over America know, not only
from intuition, information and OBJ
servation, but from actual expert
ence that any coalition satisfac-
tory to Dixiecrats means bad medi-
cine--big poison for Negroes, and
that those who thus connive with
Dixiecrats must be given careful
scrutiny when they again appeal
for public office. Unless these
public officials change their atti-
tude on the question of Civil
Rights. they must be earmarked
for defeat in the future. Civil
Rights is nothing more than a
command from the Divine Crea-
tor Himself. (Do unto others as
you would have them do unto
you.)
It Is tragic that Civil Rights
legislation can not be passed with
out so much dispute and delay.
The platforms of both the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans pledge both
parties to the passage of this leg
islation. It has not yet been
passed and it is doubtful If 1t will
be at the present session of Con-
gress. But, we must not give up.
The hope which is ever present in
most lead us to feel that some
where, some way and somehow we
must win the rights to which we
are entitled as citizens. We must
be optimists but we must not dis
regard actual facts and conditions
as they exist.
We must become registered vot-
ers wherever we are allowed the
privilege to vote, and we must
search our conscience in determin-
ing who to vote for. We must
find out if possible how every can
didate who seeks public office
stands in regard to social justice
and racial tolerance and we must
help elect those who make the
laws that govern us. Our future
largely depends upon as as indi-
viduals. Each of us out of our
past experience must select those
principles which hold the germ of
enduring power and apply them to
the readjustment of our own
lives.
In our own community a mu-
nicipal primary and election will
occur in the near future. If there
are qualified voters among us who
are not registered, do so at once.
Registration closes Jan. 18th. All
who hope to vote must be regis
tered before that date. BY all of
us being registered voters through
out the nation is the surest way
to achieve F.E.P.C. and other Civil
Rights legislation. Individual in
itiative alone is the one thing that
will market our labor on Jobs
where we are now refused the
right to work.

Home Built Electric
Fences Not Too Safe

The fellow who said that jelly fish
were made of ocean currents may or
may not have had something. But the
farmer who uses dangerous currents
in his electric fences is taking a
chance. according to A. V Krewatch,
extension agricultural engineer at
the University of Maryland.
lie aays it is rare occasion when
q farmer builds am electric fence
that's safe to use ON the farm. There's
danger in its steady flow of current
and in the high voltage that it may
have. Accidents to farm people and
livestock from this source are fire.
Qucnt, and many of them are pain
full, costly, or fatal. he adds.
Mr. Krewatch says he's all for
the electric fence ON the farm-if the
owner uses the right kind of fence
and takes the proper safety meas
urcs. a safe electric fence should
have alternate on and off periods.
Then it's possible for the man or the
animal to get loose from the fence"
if unable to let go when the current is
on Commercially made outfits have
this "otf-on' mechanism and rarely
cause accidents. 1t is important that
the electric fence be approved and
stamped by the Underwater labora-
tories. Taking chances with home
made fence controllers may lead to
trouble
