Thanksgiving Day Is Here Again

AS we pause to observe another nation
al Thanksgiving Day, our minds reflect
to the Bible story of the Pharisee who
stood in the temple and prayed God, |
thank thee that | am not as other men
are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or
even as this publican"
The Pharisees prayer of thanksgiving
was not really a prayer of Thanksgiving.
Real thanksgiving includes other people
ind God. The Pharisee was Dragging rath-
er than praying. He did not pray to God
he boosted. He gave God second
place, his fellowmen a third place and
himself first place.
AS we pause on this our annual Thanks
giving Day, do we make it God conferred
or self-centered? Do we make it world
conscious or self conscious? Have we real
~ been able to enter into the spirit of
Thanksgiving? l believe we have.
If the Pilgrim fathers could set aside a
day of thanksgiving when their crcum-
stances were SO bitterly hard; if the lead
ers in revolutionary times could proclaim
such a day at time when the cause of
liberty seemed almost hopeless; if Abra-
ham Lincoln o u d proclaim day of
Thanksgiving when the nation was torn
asunder by civil war; if Woodrow Will
son could proclaim day of Thanksgiving

when civilization was desperately imperi-

NEW YORK - (Global - Just
what the Army's aptitude test is,
we really wouldn't know, but it
surely must be a rigid one, and,
indeed, must have been made
much harder than that used to
measure the ability of prospec-
tive draftees in World War II.
This Korean conflict evidently is
being fought by aristocrats and
geniuSes.
What brings this up is the re-
cent, at least temporary, rejection
by the army of Willie Mays, New
York baseball Giants star center
fielder and Rookie of the Year..
He ~flunked" the aptitude test,
was the reason.
Naturally, we would think an
aptitude test would have some
thing to do with a PERSONS intel
ligence, which does not neces-
Sarily have anything to do with a
mans formal educational attain
mentS. We saw this clearly dem
onStrated in the last war when
they drafted Rock Graziano and
Joe Louis, neither of whom had
much education nor was any too
articu1ate, although Rocky was
pretty noisy! But Willie Mays!
This reporter met the young star
several times off the playing
field and he seemed to be a rather
bright young fellow. The entire
sports world knows of his exploits
on the field where he displayed
alertneSs, intelligence, co-ordina-
ton and rare skill. Maybe the
Army examiners had never heard
of Willie, who is a high school
graduate with a good record of
scholastic attainmentS.
There is report that Mays
status is not yet settled, and that
there is possibility that he will
be given anoher test and ulti-
mately indicted into service. This
is not the important thing here,
nor is it our concern whether
Willie goes to an army camp now
or remains free ITO go to a base
ball training camp next Spring.
What is important is the piling up
of statistics showing, or tending
TO show Negroes as illherates.
1t will be recalled that during
the last war the figures were
staggering, and these figures
were used often to the disadvan-
tage of Negroes, even after the
war was over.
j. is hard to believe that Willie
Mays could not have passed fair
army aptitude test, and there
might be some who would ques-

CHILDREN GET
$40, AGA FROM
DADE WELFARE

Most of Florida's needy child
rem being helped through the
State Welfare Department re-
ceived more aid in October than
in any of the three preceding
months, according to Mr.. Harry
Zukernick, chairman of the dis
trict 9 Welfare Board.
That was because tightening of
rules and regulations covering
eligibility, and new laws passed
by the 1851 Legislature resulted
in fewer children receiving as
Sistance. In October, it was pos
sible to make welfare grants for
children on a basis of 80 per cent
of their need within Department
standards and legal maximums,
as compared with Sc per cent the
preceding three months.
In Dade County, 1887 assis-
lance grants were made in Oc-
tober covering 1886 children
totaling $70,464.40. In addition to
aid for dependent children, $3.50
aged received $200,721.50, and lit
needy blind received $7,356.77.
The needy blind are receiving
"a per cent of their budget needs
within the maximums. So far,
there have been no percentage
cuts on the budget needs" of the
needy aged. This does not mean,
that the needy aged
have not had some cuts in their
checks which they have receiv-
ed. In order to stay within the
appropriation granted by the last
legislature, the State Welfare
Board has found it necessary to
revise the budget which has
meant that some items previously
allowed have been changed or re-
duced. This has been particularly
difficult for District Boards to
follow out according to Mr.. lux
ernick. Many of our recipients, as
we'll as other interested indivi-
duals in the program have made
complaints to the press and to
our District and State Officers
with regard to the "heartless, in
human welfare visitors who have
no human sympathy in them"
The District Board is aware of
how some of these stringent poll
cies are affecting persons who are

trying to push Mays into the army.
Whether Willie Mays goes into the
army or stays out would seem to
be far less harmful than the in
jury to him and the whole race
which he would inflict by adding
to the mounting statistics that
Negroes are dumb too dumb
to pass a simple aptitude test to
get into the army.

in need, which often mean that
their grants have been discon-
tinued. The District Board is urg-
ing reconsideration of some of
these policies which we hope will
avoid cutting off persons who are
in need even though it may be
necessary to cut their grants in
many instances.
The budget needs of an indivi-
dual are determined by comput-
ing the amount of money required
to provide basic living necessit-
les as established on a statewide
basis, then subStracting what
ever income the Individual may
have. The maximum grant is $50
per month for the aged and
blind, and $27 for the first child |
in a family group and $18 for
each additional child, with
maximum of $81 for any family
group.
October payments on a state
wide basis amounted to $3,740,-

Mothers who plan to take Baby
along with them on afternoon
visits, a make the excursions
easy for the youngster and pleas
ant for themselves. There are lust
a few hints to follow.
Most important precaution is to
maintain calm. Hurrying about
may give Baby the idea that some.
thing unusual is taking place, and
this tiny creature of habit is likely
to rebel. Therefore, it's a good
idea to plan ahead so you won't
have to rush Baby's bottle, or
feeding and dressing routines.
It's best, of course, not to take
any youngster outdoors immedi.
ately after feeding him. Let him
rest comfortably indoors for about
an hour.
In eagerness to present Baby at
ms best, some mothers save new

occasions. Often a tot reacts badly

Legislators Letter
To the New York Times:
and St. Croix Avis
In your November 18th is
sue there appeared a letter
signed by Is members of the
Legislative Assembly of the
US. Virgin Islands. AS l am
somewhat familiar with condi-
tons in the Islands, l believe
certain differences in the above
mentioned letter should be
effectively examined. First, as
to the retention of internal
revenue taxes by the Island
Government, there is no ques-
ton but that this is desirable
if adequate safeguards on the
expenditure of these monies
are effected. There is, how
ever, considerable doubt in the
minds Of many members of
the Congress that the Islands
Government has up to now
made sufficient progress in the
conduct of its political and
economic affairs to warrant
such a move at this time.
Second, as to the appoint
ment Of Mr.. Gordon Skeoch
as President of the Virgin Is
lands Corporation. This same
Mr.. Skeoch formerly served
with distinction as a Member
of the Council Of St. Croix and
as a Member of the Legislative
Assembly, and it i'll becomes
these present members of the
Assembly to belittle or attack
him. His legislative record
speaks for him. AS to his quail
fications for chief executive Of
ficer of the Virgin Islands Cor
poration, let it be said that
many men were considered for
this appointment, but in the
