Young Fry
Taking Over
Adult School

East Cleveland's children are
taking over the Adult Recreation
School, newest project of the
Board of Education starting its
second term last week. This con-
clusion was drawn from first-week
attendance figures released by c.
Cassil Reynard, director, this week.
Topping the first semester's
paid 148 enrolment at the same
period by %, the new term has
four children's classes compared
to one the first-semester.
Indicating the tremendous in
terest of the small fry in the after
school instruction, the following
overflow classes are now being
held: Tap-ballet dancing at Shaw
on Monday afternoons and at
Chambers School on Wednesday
afternoons-both taught by Mrs.
Doris Pike Markell, and two new
classes in children's dramatics at
Caledonia School on Thursday
afternoons, taught by Mrs. Harold
Bolton of Hastings ave-, and an
instructor to be announced.
The Caledonia dramatics classes
grew up almost overnight as the
result of a spontaneous neighbor-
hood demand, and furnish an ex-
cellent example of what school
home cooperation can accomplish,
Mr.. Reynard pointed out. Under
the leadership of Mrs. T. J. Borsch,
recreation chairman of the Gale
donia PTA and Miss Bertha Glen
denen sufficient signatures were
obtained in less than a fortnight's
time to warrant the offering of
class. By opening day thirty-one
enrollments had been secured, and
by that evening-after a really
hectic afternoon, PTA'ers assure
us-this figure had mushroomed to
fifty-three. 1t just goes to show.
Mrs. Bolton has recently been
in charge of dramatic activities at
Prospect PTA, and is at present
occupied in project of a similar
nature with the PTA at Chambers
School. Her aims are to assist the
children to write their own play"
with every child taking part in
creation and performance and to
develop dramatic interest in every
member of the class rather than
creating a few child stars. She is
being assisted in the handling of
her lively Hilltop groups by Mrs.
J. T. Welter of Winsford rd. as a
volunteer helper.
AS for the adult classes on Mon
day nights at Shaw where the be-
ginning sewing and clothing classes
are being combined into one class

More than 5000 East Cleveland
ers will participate in the local
Civil Defense Organization when
it becomes fully organized.
This is the prediction of c. j.
Dover, who is on loan from General
Electric's Nela Park as full-time
East Cleveland Civil Defense Di-
rector.
The bulk of public participation
will be in the Air Raid Warden
Service, plans for which are cur
rently being made. Many other
East Clevelanders will serve as
auxiliary policemen, auxiliary fire
men, and in many other categories.
"The warden service will be
similar to the organization East
Cleveland had during the last wal" J"

The Institute Of Race Relations
At Fisk University:

generation of Negroes, completely
different in every respect from the
generation with whom his father
dealt fifty years ago. A young Ne
gro told me that he worked for a
White man, for whom his father
worker. He said ever so ofcen this
White man would say to him:
John, you are not the man that
your pappy was in his day. If this
had been your pappy out here
plowing instead of you, why, he
would have been half through with
this whole field" This young Ne
gro said he dropped his plow lines,
and braced himself between, the
handles of the plow, and looked
that man in the eyes and said:
"Mr. Jones, where in the ??? is
my father today? The White man
said: "Why, he's dead" John said
he told him, eyes, plowing too
much cotton in one day helped to
kill him, and I have sworn not to
die from the same cause that killed
my daddy" He said that White
man walked away from him with
his head down, and never did say
another word to him about blowing
cotton.
3. The Negroes voting power.
The Negro has made just about as
many white converts at the polls,
as they have made on their knees
in prayer meetings. A Southern
White man said in his address at
the institute a few weeks ago: "The
Negroes are in a position now, to
change the whole southern pat
tern with just ballot and pen
cil."
4. The removal of fear: The
sight of a Southern White man
with a gun in his hand no longer
excites the Negro into submission.

GOV. DEWEY

Continued from page ID
renee of such an incident as the
major news from the United States
on any one day is shocking and
grossly misleading.
"What is wholly ignored is that
the incident shocked the public
conscience and was abhorrent to-
all our people and was both vigor-
ously suppressed and prosecuted
by public authorities. This is the
true reflection of the American
point of view which I find entirely
omitted 7from the Esian press)."
"a major point in Communist
propaganda has been distortion of
life in the United States" said
Governor Dewey, "and the claim
that a rare incident of ruffianism
represents anything basic in our
country"
He said that in the United
States "every race, every color
and every religion have mingled in
the creation of a peaceful happy
life based on freedom, equality and
justice for ALL"

1 saw a fine example of this fact.
A friend of mine drove me out
into the section of Dallas, Texas,
where they have had some trouble
Just recently. He told me of one
man who kicked a bomb shell off
of his front porch, and went on
upstairs and went to bed and slept
soundly all night. He told me OF
another man who received letter
in the evening mail, and this letter
stated that 1--WE are coming out
there tonight and bomb you into
eternity" The Negro who received
the letter called the chief of police
and told him about the letter, and
said to him: "Chief, if you should
happen to see any of them, tell
them that I am at home now, and
I will be here all the rest of the
evening; they don't have to wait
until night" Just before dark that
evening, two car loads of White
men drove out by the house, and
this Negro was sitting on his front
porch oiling a 3O-30 rifle. The cars
drove on by, and they have not
been seen since. The South can
not put fear into hundreds of
Negroes by lynching one in the
community now like they did fifty
years ago. May God give us fear
less Negroes who will realize that
it is more honorable to be a dead
hero, than to be a living coward.
Truly, the sun of a new day is
rising in the South. Will the Negro
be ready to receive it?
Goodbye now for this time.

New York = Global - Harlem,
which followed Chicago in Don't
Spend Your Money Where You
Can't Work" campaign several
years ago, has launched a new
drive to complete the job, it was
learned this week.
A group of Harlem civic leaders
and newspaper people met last
week to consider plans for carry
ing out the program.
The original Harlem job cam
paign was sponsored by a small
group of men and women headed
by the late Ira Kemp, Arthur Reid,
and James Lawson. 1t was success
full in that it won white collar
Jobs for Negroes in the 125th st.
shopping area. 1t was largely
through the efforts of this group
that Negroes finally got jobs as
drivers on the city and privately
owned buses.
More recently, Edward White, a
local grocer, headed movement
to get jobs for Negroes as sales
men and truck drivers for whole
sale grocery and beverage con-
Germs. He was unable to rally much
support for the campaign and he
was forced to abandon it.
On the other hand, local or
ganization of liquor and beer
salesman had tried for months to
whip up support for campaign
to open certain doors that have
remained closed to them. Their
pleas fell on deaf ears until now.
Lawson, who worked with the
! original group fighting for jobs,
said this week that Negroes are
entitled to at least one-third OF
the jobs in question and that his
organization, the African Nation
alist Movement, will gear itself

Dear Editor of
The Arizona Sun:

Due to other pressing duties l
find myself compelled to close
these series of articles on Race Re-
lations. Writing upon this subject
for the last four weeks has been
gratifying to me. Having spent
10 days and night taking notes be-
hind forty-four Of the nations
most outstanding speakers, find
myself with enough material to
write for the next twelve months,
but duties in other fields will not
permit me. For many years, I
have had a strong conviction to
write a book on the following
theme: "The Advantages, and Dis
advantages of Segregation in The
South" I have already begun to
collect needed material for the SUBJ
ject, and hope to make the book
available to the public within the
next twelve months. 1 have been
asked to give the four things which
I attribute more credit to as the
basic cause of the rapid change in
the south as those changes relate
to Race Relations. I shall give
them as DR.. Charles S. Johnson
gave them. They are as follows.
1. The Negroes own determina-
ton to have his freedom and full
citizenship. The Southern Negroes
as a whole, will no longer accept
the White mans mo" for a final
answer. They are beginning to real
ize there is higher source of
legal power than the Southern
White mans word.
2. The modification of the con-
cept of the old common southern
law and traditions. The Southern
White man is beginning to discover
that he is surrounded by a new

to light TO LnaC END.
Mr.. Lawson said he believes such
a job campaign, if carried out
simultaneously on a national scale,
would be most dramatic and would
certainly prove immensely fruit
full, especially at this time. when
Negroes everywhere are so con-
scious of the principles Of fair
employment practices.

COVER. The excited young lady on Page
is Mary Agnes Garvey, 20, of Toronto. A
strict amateur at fishing, she's shown strug-
Cling with fighting trout in a stream near
Banff, Alberta, Canada.
According to Photographer Hy Peskin, this
was the first time She d ever been fishing. A
few seconds after he shot her picture, she
landed her first catch - and it didn't have to
be thrown back. either.
ARMY DEMOCRACY. A chance remark
started Writer Morton Sonthemer on an in
vestigation which resulted in How Demo
cratic Is Our New Army?" on Page 7.
A friend, introducing Sontheimer to another
man, said: "You two ought to get along like
cats and dogs. You (Sontheimer) were an
officer during the last war. and Mac here was
an enlisted man."
Sontheimer, however, was an enlisted man,
too, before he became an officer - and he
didn't like the system either. He decided then
to find out what had been done to make
oficer-GI relations more democratic.
What Sontheimer learned from his survey
not only surprised him - it will surprise you.
ANTHOLOGY. Recently book publisher
noted that many of Parke Cummings humor-
GUS magazine articles - including a number
that have appeared in THIS WEEK as Family

gather them together, pound out some addi-
tional words of caution to parents, and make
up volume on the young of the species?
Cummings replied, why not?' and the
result is the book. I'm Telling You Kids For
