dian.
Gilbert called the great outcry
of moral Indignation which arose
throughout America and the
world over the incident, a Com
munist plot to embarrass the
white people!
Senator Taft won't get far in
this state with adherents like
Gilbert in his corner.
1t was this same gentleman
Gilbert who authored a scare
article on FEPC for Otto Chris
Jensen in a sheet called Industrial
News. A big scare headline said
Negroes would invade Minnesota
and take the jobs of whites. Gill
bert, who writes well, made a
base appeal to race prejudice
which followed very closely the
Hitlerean line in his attack on
FEPC legislation, then being con-
sidered by the state Legislature
Gilbert also attempted to block
Senate confirmation of Luther
Youngdahl for Federal Judge.
OF course Senator Taft cannot
be blamed for some of the camp
followers he may pick up, but it
is well to point out-at least for
local consumption, that one of his
chief tub-thumpers in Hennepin
county at least, is A. B. Gilbert,
who is a close follower of the
white superiority line.

Negro farmers own farms worth

the farmers of that state face

the cities instead of staying on

to make father and son agree

ward University, Washington, d.
IC.
Don, who left Minneapolis in
1887 and has worked up from a
dining car waiter TO chief aide to
the director of one of the leading
dental colleges in the nation, felt
that Twin City Negro youth and
the communities as a whole were
not living up to their fun poten-
tial.
Vernon's career and his love
for his home town perhaps gives
him the right to view its progress
or lack Of progress with a some
what critical, but kindly eye.
When he left Minnesota in 1887
he had only been able to reach the
third year in high school. After
his marriage to Mildred Brooks of
st. Paul, the two decided to pull
up stakes and go east. His wife
entered government employ in
Washington, where she still is and
Vernon ran on the road between
Washington and Florida. After a
couple seasons he decided to enter
night school and finish his high
school training. He worked in the
day in Washington at any job he
could get, received his high school
diploma and entered night classes
and later day sessions at Howard
University.
During his three years of col
lege work he earned 16 straight
AS. and when he finishes one
more course, he expects TO re-
ceive his ALB. in Business Admin
tsration. graduating magma cum
laude. in the next few months.
After entering college, Vernon
took a modest job in the school
of dentistry business office. His
ambition and industry soon at
tracted the attention of the
school dean, Rr. Russell Dixon.
Three years ago he was appointed
business manager of the Dental
school and last year he was made
administrative assistant TO the
dean, the No. spot in the schools
administration.
Vernon's career which has not
yet reached its zenith is a record
Of hard work, hard study and ap-
plication and the will TO improve
himself.
Don Vernon. kindly, critical,
does not believe his hometowns of
the Twin Cities are instilling
in the younger generation parti-
culary, those sound principles Of
industry, persistence, the will to
learn and ambition TO get ahead.
Vernon is modest. and doesn't
talk about himself much. We had
10 virtually dig out Of him the
few items about his steady pro-
press that are printed here. He is,
however, tremendously concerned
that Negro youth in his home
town does not seem 10 have SER

were not present when Vernon
lived here as a youngster.

trip and found some beautiful
water with plenty of native brook
trout. The only thing that marred
the trip was the steady rain
coupled with a carload of worm
fishermen, who in violation of the
law, kept charging up and down
the stream dunking worms and
minnows and successfully putting
the trout down ahead of us.
Those native brookies are not
to be trifled with. You just cannot
walk up on a pool boldly and cast
into 1t. You've got to ease up on
lit and keep concealed as much as
possible. Once the trout in a poo
become scared, they just go into
lseclusion and refuse to cooperate
for a couple of hours.
However in spite of rain ano
the pait fishermen. we caught oul
share of fat brookies. Newton
showed us a trick or two, ano
really put it over on us when il
came to catching them. Not only
did he catch more fish, but they
were far larger, some running vel
over 10 inches. Newt says he wa:
just lucky. but We don't believe
