WORKERS engaged IN agrlcul
ture and particularly those
employed by the Virgin IS
lands Corporation are concern
ed about the attitude Of the
Board of Directors of said Cor
poration with respect to the
application of, and compliance
with the local Wage and Hour
Law recently passed by the
Legislature. A ersolution was
forwarded to the Board by the
Municipal Council requesting
its cooperation. Up to this
point nothing has been heard
officially from the Board. Just
a few days ago the Municipal.
Council passed an amendment
to the Wage and Hour Law,
excluding agricultural work
ers from the provisions Of the
Act until the Virgin Islands
Corporation are paying their
workers in accordance with
the rates etc. of this ordin-
ance." This amendment has
not yet been approved by the
Governor,
The Board of Directors held.
its first meeting here during
the month of February. Repre-
sentatives Of labor were given
an opportunity to meet with
said Board and presented in
no uncertain terms the case of
the agricultural workers Of the
Corporation with reference to
an increase in wages. Accord
ing to the Wage and Hour law
the Corporation would be re-
CURED to pay to the laborers
CURED to pay to the laborer 5
cents per hour increase. The
worker now earns $500 per
day, or an average Of $500. per
year, due to the nature of the
work, and the manner in
which the Corporation OPP
crates.
We understand that one of
the major questions is the in
crease of approximately $40,
600. to the pay roll yearly. If
this were even true, we won
der if that would be sufficient
justification for not paying
existing wages to already I'M
der paid employees Of a Fed
eral agency. Then it is doubt
full if the officials Of the Corp.
would take a similar attitude

Mrs. Rose Kovel had 10 cavities
in one year, before her dentist
advised her to use Amm-i-dent.
With Amm-i-dent her rate of
new cavities dropped to about
l a year-and at the last dental
check, her dentist told hershe had
no cavities at all! Her actual dem
tai record has been notarixed and
published in national magazines.
There can be no doubt of the
fact that she definitely reduced
her rate of tooth decay when
she changed to Amm-i-dent.

"Just another exaggerated claim" this girls
mother thought to herself, when she read
that Amm-i-dent ammoniated Tooth Paste
could reduce tooth decay. She didn't even
bother to call her dentist, who could have
given her the facts on Amm-i-dent. She just
kept on buying the same tooth paste with
which her family had been brushing and
having cavities-year after year.
And now, too late, she is sorry. At her
child's regular dental check-up-more cavi-
ties She wishes that she had followed the
advice of the dentists of America. They rec
ommend Amm-i-dent ammoniated Tooth
Paste and Powder more than any other den-
thrice. Surely these men must know best of
all what is right for you and your children.
If you have provided Amm-i-dent for
your family, you can feel justly proud!
Your family is getting the best protection
against tooth decay any dentifrice can
offer, as proven in actual tests with people

aging 2 cavities a year before
changing to Amm-i-dent. But
she had not one single CAVITY at
her last dental check.
y The Kovels live in Jackson
Heights, Long Island, N. Y
at 831O-12 35th Avenue. They
began using Amm-i-dent during
test research-while it was still
in powder form - and they've
used it regularly ever since:

mother was too smart to believe the ads that told her,
ln1n-i-dent Helps Prevent Cavities

who followed regular brushing habits.
If your family is not using Amm-i-dent,
you as a mother have not done all you can
do-all you should do-to help them to
have strong, healthy teeth. You can prove
it to yourself. Were there any cavities in
your family last year? What did you do to
help prevent those cavities?
Does Your Present Tooth Paste Do
Anything To Help Prevent Cavities?
No ordinary tooth paste, without ammoniated anti
decay ingredients can do much to help prevent cav
tes-beyond what the simple act Of brushing will
do Certainly it cannot do what Amm-i-dent can do.
Amm-i-dent supplies for many hours the ammonia
content found lacking in the mouths Of cavity-sus-
ceptibe people. For many hours, mind you.
That means Amm-i-dents anti-decay protection
continues-no matter when you brush. You don't
have to brush after meals to get Amm-idents efec-
tiveness. Regular brushing at any time with Amm-
i-dent helps prevent cavities

effort to show our foreign neigh
bors that Democracy really exists
in America. But the truth of it
is that the Negro doctor hero of
this picture has since been let out
by the Connecticut community

they believed him white.
This cultural robbery" Ward
said, also is found in the constant
caricatures we find on the radio
and television. We also find it
most insiduously carried out in the
field of education he pointed out.
We still find meager recognition
given to the achievements and con-
tributions of the Negro in the
school textbooks of our country
and in the South such matters are
given the strict attention of ace
supremists.
"This sort of training turns out
so many of our leaders only COM
petent to make money, play a
good game of bridge or dance

have lost touch with their people
and their real problems and it is
the common people with far less
formal education who often take
the leadership in great reforms"

audacity to claim the right to say
what Negroes should do in the
South where they are actually
courageously graphing with the

"But," he said, 81 am trying to do
all I can with my ability to write"
Mr.. Ward was high in his praise
of Harry Haywood's book, NEGRO

opinion that every thinking indi-
vidual should read it.

He spent considerable time
with Robinson over the past two
years and Robinson has credited
him with his ability to connect for
a .342 average last year. When
Robinson arrived at Vero Beach,
Fla, this spring, the first man he
asked for was George Sisler.
Sisler says Jackie's 1850 bat
ting average was no flash in the
pan. He should do even better
this season, says the old pro. Rob-
inson connected for .342 last year.
This spring Sisler has concen-
trated on. teaching Robinson to
place the ball to all sections Of
the field. Last year, Jackie ap-
peared to be taking a lunge when
he hit. This year the lunge will be
reduced to an on-balanc follow

BROOKLYN, April Is. (ANP)
A man from the deep South,
whose battle for "the cultural
freedom" Of his people, has Civ
en- him impetus in writing his
third play to be produced in New
York, talked in a Brooklyn apart
ment last week of his peoples
modern battle for freedom. At
present putting in many late hours
at rehearsal of John Brown"
which will open April % at the
new home of the Peoples Drama,
on the East Side, he gave the i'm
preston of a brilliant artist who
yet feels an insufficiency in ac-
complishing the things which tugs
intensely at his heart.
The successful author of two
previous plays, "Big White Fog"
and "Our LAM" Ward the way
faring son of a New Orleans fam
lily of II who left home as a boy
after his mother died, and buff
feted about across the country
odd-jjobbed and fought his way
to opportunity, is still a man of
the people here with his charming
wife, Mary, and two cute, small
daughters Laura and Elise.
"The people are on a march
for freedom" he said. "Just as
when John Brown, the martyred
abolitionist gave his life for the
principal that all men r born
free and equal and endowed with
certain inalienable rights, we are
in a parallel struggle today for
the rights of all peoples"
Going deep into his philosophy,
the author who in 1913 did re-
search work at Dartmouth for
John Brown" on a Guggenheim
fellowship, most sincerely lamen-
ted the general oversight of his
people to the denial of cultural
rights to them by the forces in
contro." There are other things
besides political, economic and re-
ligious OPPRESSION" he said.
"There is cultural oppression. BY
this I mean denial of people to ex-
press themselves" It took so
years for a drama by a Negro
author to reach Broadway, which
happened to be "Our LAM" To
succeed, we find that che Negro
must say what the forces in con-
troll want him to say-in the
theater and on the air. He then
took a wack at Hollywood's So
called liberal pictures. He saw in
'Home of the Brave" the failure
to bring the Negro hero outstand-
ing on his own feet equal with the
white man,, when it leaves the
feeling that jim crow is a thing
to be endured by the Negro and
then sends him back home not to

HOUSTON. ANP-Luke Easter
has earned his spurs as a major
Lacquer in the eyes of Cleveland
Manager Lou B%oudreau. Boud-
reau said here last week, the big
home run master would start the
American league opener in rifht
field. The following facts may ex-
plain why:
Last week, Easter was leading
the Indians in home runs, runs
batted in and bases on balls. Not
only that, he is amazingly fast
afoot and has a pair Of adhesive
hands in the outfield.
The Luke had one mishap last
week here when the sun got in his
eyes and the ball-a high fly off
the bat of Bobby Thomson-never
reached his glove, thereby permit
ting three runs to score for the
New York Giants. The Giants won
8.to 2. However, in the same game
Easter made a brilliant one-hand
catch. of a long ball hit by Alvin
Dark.
Out on the Pacific coast last
season, they hailed Easter the sue
cessor to Ted Williams-if not
Babe Ruth. Against the Giants,
you might have thought he was
Williams. They met Easter with
the civilians shift" in the 7th.
Both the. shortstop and second
baseman were shifted far to the
first base side of second, and
the third baseman, Henry Thomp-
son, was playing short. But Luke
tricked them all. He struck out.
