Teachers Visit
Holsum Bakers

Twenty-one teachers repre-
Senting a dozen schools visited
the Holsum bread baking plant
at South Miami as part of Great
er Miami's B. I. E. Day obser-
vance.
The event, meaning Business
Industry Education Day, was
sponsored by the women'S divi-
sion of Miami Chamber of Com
merce, to bring the educators of
the area into closer contact with
what business and industry is
doing in the community.
Visiting the wholly automatic
HolSum bakery, which turns out
10000 loaves of bread hourly
without it being handled by
human hands, was the following
delegation:
Mrs. L. r. Fartson and Miss
Eloise Barr, of Bethune Elemen-
tary; Mrs. L. Mcqueen and Miss
N. Roberts of Douglas Primary;
Mr.. c. Jones and Mrs. Jones of
G. w. Carver Elementary; Mrs.
Pauline Dunn and Lennon r.
Ivey of Dunbar Elementary.

label Moore, of r. r. Motion Ele-
mentary; Mrs. Ida Radcliffe of

T. r. Hawkins and Mrs. M.
Ingraham of GouldS Junior high.
The teachers proved an inter
ested audience for Charles M.
Schwartz, advertising and jublic
relations director for the comp
any, who acted as guide and lee
turer as the group moved through
all parts of the plant They were
shown every step of the process
from the mixing of the flour and
other ingredients until the fresh
loaves were automatically sliced
and wrapped.
Mr.. Schwartz displayed a chart
which showed that Holsum has a
payroll of a million dollars an
nually, and its yearly tax bill is
1882, 647.65. Net profit on a loaf
of bread, he disclosed is only six
per cent.
He told the teachers that the
company provides its employees
with paid vacations, sick leave, a
trust plan, mutual aid associa-
ton, a credit club, five paid holi-
days each year, paid time for jury
duty, and Christmas party
bonuses.
The visitors were served

The Moving Finger
BV L. A. THOMPSON

In recognition of the blood,
sweat and tears of West Indians
who played such a prominent
role in the building of the Pana-
ma Canal, the Canal Zone will
issue a 10-cent airmail stamp on
August is. This West Indian Me-
mortal stamp shows a group Of
laborers at work in the Culebra
Cut.
It is estimated that during the
construction of the Canal, 1904
1914, As, 104 laborers were taken
to Panama by the ISthmian Canal
Commission. Among these were
3l,071 West Indians mostly
colored folk.
Wages ran from just above the
starvation line to below it. Ma
laria and other tropical diseases
did their worst to add to the dis
comfort of the poor laborers. But
they dug the ditch that connects
the Atlantic with the Pacific.
This belated memorial is fine
gesture on the part of the Canal
Zone, but it looks so much like
starving a man to death then
building a beautiful tomb over
his remains.

Talking about the. Panama
Canal brings to mind a story that
has been told and retold. A young
man, making his first venture in
the good old days went to the
Canal on a contract. He wasn't
there long before he realized that
you can't believe all that you
hear. Misfortune fell thick and

Turn To The Left"

Turn to the left A representative Of a
local railway was speaking. He was direct
ing passengers into a train. Coaches filled
with white passengers were on the right.
and the usual limited leftover provision for
Negroes was on the left
Each race group was plainly visible to the
travellers mounting the steps of the coach,
but the train representative evidently
wanted to put on finishing touch So, to
each Negro came an injunction to Turn to
the left"
The phrase seemed a bit strange to us.
Turn to the left 1t sounded like an invi-
tation to turn to communism. 1t sounded
like a directive to look to the so-called ''radi-
cali isms for help and life. 1t appeared to
voice the challenge of the Reds that COM
munsm is more democratic than democra-
cy. Turn to the left"
But the directive actually voiced the ira
ditons and determinations Of the Dixie
crat movement. Turn to the left of inferior
Accommodations on the train. Turn to the left
of segregation. Turn to the left of asserted
racial superiority. Turn to the left of the
menace OF invective and violence to the per-
son bolstering up violations of the demo-
cratic principles. Turn to the left of exclu-
sion from public service. Turn to the
left of limited opportunity for employment.
Turn to the left of neglected neighborhoods
Turn to the left of non-existent public recre-
alton. Turn to the left of inadequate public

(even tho, we had nothing to do with the
framing of the constitution than the Dixie
Gratis.
The Constitution of America saws nothing
about one not being able to work on certain
jobs because of his colors. The consti
tuition says nothing about person not
being able to live in certain neighborhoods
with other Americans he shielded his blood
with on foreign soil to make these homes
secure because of his ancestral birth And
we do not believe that the constitution saws
anything about American Negroes must be
the target for the white Americans abuses,
and the stepping stone for white progress
Neither have we seen where il SAYS that an
American Negro should be deprived of his
life without due process of law

And little Michael is relatively fortunate.
Through the accident of birth he was born
in America. And his parents have employ
ment at fairly high wages. This has assur-
ed him that, at least for the forseeabe fu-
ture, he will enjoy most of these things.

lard?
Or, suppose he had been born in Africa.
or South America? Or for that matter. sup
pose he had been born here in America but
with different color skin. or into a diff
ferent religious background?
We're afraid that had he, by accident of
birth, not been born in America of white
employed parents, he wouldn't have many
OF the opportunities that he now will enjoy
And we believe. too, that because the ov-
erwhelming majority of the little boys and
girls who came into the world with him do
not have the same opportunity that he will
nave that his life, too, will be inse-
cure. that as long as there are those
whose minds and bodies are enslayed chat he
will never be completely free.
1t is our responsibility as his parents TO
do everything in our power to eliminate the
threat of insecurity from his life

We All Have Heard II

You've heard it, too. Some big mouth
Dixiecrats and big mouth Uncle Toms"
spout about Negroes are better off in A
merica than they're any place else
So we're better off. We have better
schools. We enjoy better standard of liv-
ing We wear good clothes. We own and live
in better homes. Sure we're happy here.
What're we suppose to do, say "thank
you, Mr.. White Man. for letting us live in
America"
Well we're not. If it had been left with
these big mouth Dxiecrats, we all would be
in legal" slavery. No, we're not going to let
you perpetuate your years of iniustces to
us and then turn around and thank you for
it.
We know how well off we are. We know
what we have contributed to America. And
We know what Messrs. Dixiecrats have con-
tributed. We know, we have contributed
more, and have done more to safeguard the
ideals Of democracy, and uphold the consti-
tuition upon which this country was built

lisa Boy!

The birth of son is certainly an event
which this writer cannot let pass without
comment.
Michael Albert weighed in at Woman's
Hospital at 3 p. NJ. Saturday, March 3. His
arrival was, of course, occasion for pride on
pride and happiness at being fortunate
the part of his parents.
But there are other emotions, too. There's
enough to be parents. But there's apprehen-
sion and anxiety along with that pride and
JOY.
We're wondering just what kind of
world we have brought Michael into. We're
anxious that we have the right opportunity
of enjoying a way Of life that we feel is his
birthrght. The right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. a decent home, good
and ample food, sufficient clothing, ade-
quate medical care, full educational oppor-
tunities, and security The right of security
from fear and ignorance and, more impor-
tant, the right of freedom of justice and
equality.
We believe that there is no one, here and
now, who would say that little Michael does
not have the right to enjoy all Of those
things But what about the future? viii
everyone then agree that he has those rights?
II seems to US, his parents that it is our
job to work and fight to see that these things
are reserved for him.

Life At A Glance
BY Ray Lawrence

The State of South Carolina one of the
leaders of the white Supremacy" theory,
is trying to defend its policy of racial sep
aration in public schools by citing legal
principles established by the Supreme court
of the United States fifty years ago.
Will somebody tell the 'Dixiecrats' that
times have changed and are still changing?
Fifty years ago, nobody hardly recogniz-
ed that the Negro with his conglomeration
colors was fit subject for citizenship, not
even in the North, except a few Jealous re-
ligious pioneers and missionaries. . Yes sir
brother below-the-mason dixon line, you bet
ter start today, forgetting about what the
High Court done about race equality fifty
years ago.

ready ruled and in plain language, that
state which provides educational facilities
for whites must provide equal facilities for
Negroes, or admit Negroes To those faciA-
ties. Therefore il must be assumed that
these states will have to carry out their
threat In that ease they would join our own
Arkansas. However, Arkansas has voiced no
intention of cutting off funds from her edu-
eational system, but from the action of the
last legislative setting, silence gives consent.

South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi
all three of these states have threatened to
discontinue funds for public education If the
court rules that Negroes and whites must
share the same school rooms, which auto
matically means the dropping of segregation.
Florida has even gone as far as to rush thru
legislation shutting off funds for her state
colleges If segregation in schools is dropped
in her state.
