SPEECH

tant economic developments, and
that every territorial government
will use the Commission to fur
ther such progress.
I hope to introduce in this SEES
sion of the Commission resolu-
lions which I think will enable
the Commission to bring more
speedily to the peoples around us,
technical advice which will aid
IN producing widely needed i'm
provements in low-cost housing
and in organizing rural coopera-
tives.
In this way the Commission can
become more and more a foun-
tainhead of information on prac-
tical matters intimately involved
with the lives of the peoples, SO
that its effective usefulness will
be recognized increasingly.
l can imagine no finer role for
the Commission than to further
the exchange Of more and more
economic knowledge SO that ad-
vances in one territory may serve
as models for others, and thus
help make better lives for all.

II is seldom that I turn to
literature as subject for this
column, but / have been ex-
tremely impressed with very
scholarly and all-inclusive work
recently published by Funk &
Wagnalls Company, the diction-
ary and encyclopedia people.
This work, in two volumes, is
called the Folklore Dictionary"
Included within its pages are
concise but searching derivations
and histories Of the many stories,
superstitions and beliefs which
go to make up the fanciful world
of folklore.
You'll find complete analyses
Of such varied subjects as nurs-
cry rhymes and cannibalism;
tongue twisters and the family
of Crook gods and goddesses. To
my way Of thinking, those
volumes are invaluable in under
standing the cultures, supersti-
tions, and even the religions of
today. So much of our life stems
from the phases Of folklore which
become almost as realistic as
everyday occurrences.
The editors who compiled this
voluminous work are to be COM
mended for the analytical man.
The guardian., 1951-03-10

ner Of their approach. There are
folk tales from many lands with
in its pages and yet there is
never a passage which smacks of
intolerance. Even the section on
cannibalism is treated analytical
" and respectfully.
Many African folk-tales are
included in the two volumes,
some of which have heard and
others which are unfamiliar to
me. But it is interesting to note
that African culture is not top
heavy with superstition, an i'm
preston which has been widely
given.
To my mind this is a worth
while addition to any good
private library and a must
addition to any city and school
library system. Folklore is the
forerunner of art, music, litera-
ture. It is well to be informed
on subject so basic as this.
And it is even better to have
such reference material at your
fingertips.
In short, I recommend the
Folklore Dictionary" to you, not
for popular reading, but for in
teresting lore.

DR.. walter M. Edwards, the
great nationally known singing
evangelist, arrived in Boston

NAVY DAY, commemorating
the founding Of the U. S. Sea
Arm, will be celebrated March
18th, next Sunday. There are
many colored seamen. The citi-

FOREIGN SEA POWER, nota-
bly, Britain, once dominated our
shores and the high seas up
through the early 1905. Our
n alton, Constitutionally, was
established mainly by land
armies. But there were some
naval men, poorly paid and
equipped. Most palefaces Stunned
the Navy during those dark
days. So special appeal was
made to induct colored men. And
hundreds, eager to escape bond
age, took to the sea and thus
bolstered our first Navy.

THE AMERICAN Revolution
and War of 1912 called for more

DORIE MILLER at Pearl Har-
Dor perhaps awakened modern
Americans to the now almost
forgotten sepia Naval history of

that the U. S. Congress had voted
special citation to a colored sea-

that Admiral Farragut had a
famous gunner on his Flagship,
Hartford, at Mobile Bay in 1864.
And Commodore Dewey had a

1896. There's more.

The Army likes to boast that it
