Looking at Louis attitude you
wonder whether his proud refusal

the right way to promote Inter-

World that a Negro can be reliant,

self-respect that automatically Gre
ates respect in all walks of life.
They resented, if it must be known
the activities of the late, and tai
ented Bill Robinson, who was
known amongst their numbers as a
Lincolnesque Uncle Tom" for he
never seemed to ask for complete
eye-to-eye stature, but preferrd, in
their opinion, to shuttle through life
as a guy that the White man liked
cause he acted like guy that
knew his place." To the Negro, Bill
Robinson could've taken his place
with any performer of his era, with
out an unspoken apology for being
Black. mind you, this is their
opinion; not mineD
The Negroes Of America have no
desire to be considered "just as good
as anybody, or better than some"
Their only desire is to be measured
on their merit. If they are good
bricklayers, then allow them to be
hired on that basis alone; if they
are good dancers, then that too,
must be the only measure for their
use to the world if they are good
attorneys, then let them follow their
chosen profession without discrimi-
nation. They wish to be respected
for their own individual records of
achievement; not on the basis of
'he's damned good guy; for Mig
ger"
For that in itself becomes an in
suit to our whole way of Democratic
thinking. This is a land based on
opportunity of the individual. We
like to hear the stories of the wrong
side-of-the-tracks-kid who made
good. We like to think of the first
generation American kid, from the
Ghetto, climbing up through the pro-
fessional and social stratas, and
fighting for his pound of recognition
We allow this saga to happen with
all groups, but the Negro. But given
proper opportunity; they would Gre
ate amongst themselves some Of
the finest Doctor Lawyers, and
skilled workers we have ever
known. All they ask is the chance,
and the respect that will go with
their individual ability; or lack of it,
That's why when Joe Louis re-
fused to come to the Copa mike, a
lot Of us started to think hard, and
get ashamed of the inequalities of
our system.
Joe, in your eyes. may be wrong
for not Championing his cause by
appearing, and doing an Uncle
Tom," but in mis- eyes, and the eyes
of Negroes, he's once more a Cham
pion; not a credit to his race, but a
credit to the world, for his principle"

THE SPECTATOR
ONE DAY LEFT o REGISTER IN
PRECINCTS
BY ELLIOTT j. PIEZE

After you. read this column Fri
day, February 10Y you'll have just
one more day in which to register
while the books are still in tide vari-
Gus precincts. AS you perhaps al
ready know, the books have been in
the precincts since February 1, and
will remain there until Saturday,
February II, when they will return
to the courthouse.
During that time the books are
in the precincts, a number Of con-
certed efforts are being put forth
by various groups in order to in
crease the Negro registration. AL
though at this writing, I do not
have the exact figures, yet I can
assure you that lot of good has
been, and is still being done along
the line all the way.
The Florida Independent Democrat
ic Association is offering several
worthwhile prizes to the various
schools in the county, for best re-
suits obtained in the drive to in
crease the Negro registration. Many
other prizes are being offered in
other fields, all designed ito increase
the Negro registration in Dade
County.
Remember, if you have not regis
tered since February 1916, you must
register i'm order to be qualified to
vote i'm any election. The coming
election is perhaps one of the most
important i'm the history of Florida.
So be sure to register before the
books go back to the courthouse
and then be sure to vote on election
day. More about this next week.

PAINTERS COMPLAINT
MODIFIED BUT NOT YET
SETTLED

Two weeks ago, told you about
a serious complaint coming from the
local Negro Painters, concerning
several of the housing projects be-
ing built for Negro occupancy.
told you that several suggestions
were offered as means of bringing
about the spirit of fair play on the
part of the unions and the contrac-
tors. Well, I can now report that
while some progress has been made
toward an eventual settlement, the
problem, nevertheless, is far from
settled to the satisfaction of the
Negroes of this community.
Last week several meetings were
held - one i'm particular at the
Youth Center, where the matter was
discussed from all angles. / attend
ed that meeting, and after listening
to all sides I was convinced that the
only means by which we will re-
ceive our just desserts is by the
threat of a boycott. I told the group
what the Negro Veterans will do
unless some changes are made and
are made i'm hurry. Naturally that
type of remarks Is unpopular with
certain pOwers-that-be, but it's
fact, just the same.
AS result of this meeting COM
mittee was appointed to work on the
matter and try to bring about So
luton that would be favorable to
both sides. AS yet I have not heard
from that committee, but I still in
sist that if all other means fail. the
old boycott still remains in our pow
er, and will definitely be used IL
| necessary, in order to bring about
the spirit of fair play to the Negroes
Of this community.

George j. Hecht, publisher of

although the best selling Readers
Digest has demonstrated the ap-
peal of this sort of publication for
adult readers, no one, until now,
has sought to reprint the best
stories, comics and other features
from children's magazines and
books published throughout the
world. Occasionally the Chill
dren's Digest will print an excep-
tional story never published pre-
viouSly, as does the Readers Di-
gest. Each issue, we are told. will
also include condensations of the
most famous children's classics.
Another first, it is pointed out,
is the fact that the Children S
Digest is the first, and only, mag
azine to be printed on "eye-ease"
