Community Activities Urged
For Rural Women

Rural women have advanced
greatly since they have been able
to step out of their homes and
spend more time on community
and national affairs" SO said Miss
Laura Lane, associate editor, of
Country Gentleman magazine, to
$50 women attending the Delaware
state meeting of home demonstra-
tion club members in Dover on
May 3rd.
Miss Lane pointed out that rural
women will not "arrive" until they
use the power they have.
She also suggested that rural
women take more interest in prob
lens affecting our agriculture,
such as soil conservation.
Mrs. William Sterling, of Dover,
also urged that rural women in
Delaware become more interested
in their government. Mrs. Sterling
is home demonstration representa-
tive on the Delaware Women's
Joint Legislative Committee.

Natural Foods Best
Vitan1in Sources

Some people, in haste to buy
synthetic vitamins, overlook natur-
al foods which are excellent
sources of vitamins, says Mrs.
Eleanor Cavanaugh, Home Demon
stration Agent, Kent County.
AS soon as folks hear of BIZ,
they try to buy capsule contain
ing this vitamin. Research has not
yet shown how much adult human
beings need of Vitamin BIZ. 1t
has been proved necessary for
growth in babies and it seems to
be effective in curing anemia in
adults when injected into the veins.
Milk is a good source of vitamin
BIZ, Mrs. Cavanaugh points out.
When milk is used in normal
amounts it provides enough BIZ.
Pasteurization does not affect the
vitamin BIZ content. Organ and
muscle meats, and eggs, are also
excellent sources of vitamirn BIZ.

That's Just What We Mean

We are about to come to the realiza-
ton that there are people in Little Rock
that the American of color could do very
we'll without. And these are the people who
oppose every program that's offered to bring
into reality in this country what thousands
of Americans died on foreign earth to bring
to other countries, and that is the principles
of democracy.
Since the Negroes behind the iron cur
tains of America have made entry into the
modern political field, several southern
cities have integrated sepia Americans into
the functioning and policy making of their
local government. This has been acclaimed
all over the behind-theiron curtain region
as progress, including our own Little Rock.
But when group of courageous and am
bilious young men announce their intention
of adding Little Rock to the growing pro-
gressive cities, they are met with opposi-
ton. The opposition does not stem from the
aggressors of un-American activities, but
from the victims-the same people who laud
Arkansas State press., 1951-06-29

the militancy of Negroes in distant cities.
This opposing group has done the white
Arkansans innumerable favors. Ii has adver-
tised the white man in sections above the
iron curtain as being an exception in his
liberality in Arkansas. This is indeed false
and misleading. And this opposing group is
entirely responsible. 1t never gives the white
man an opportunity to express himself on
sepia progress. 1t builds up opposition and
confuse the populace before any action is
really brought to the point of maturity.
The opposing group usually consists If
cross section of darker Americans who can
be found among our begging preachers our
professional group craving self-power and
outmoded recognition, without respect. But
the most dangerous of all the progressive
Negro has to contend with, is the Negro
stooge who travels over the state begging
white people for money to keep the white
man informed of Negro activity and keep
the Negro in his place. This type of Ne
gro Is the type we can very well do without.

When BIundering Is In Order

There has been so much discussion and
accusation hurled at the Veterans of Good
Government association since it announced
supporting an aldermanic candidate in the
approaching city election until the populace
has become little confused.
The association has been charged with
serious laundering, and further charged with
embarrassing the race.
Whether these accusations are true or
not they should serve as compliments Tor
the young organization, in the face of the
inactivity of other so-called organizations
in the city
However, the opposition to the program
of the Veterans of Good Government assoc
citation is nothing new in the realm of our
civ fathers. To be "agin" something re-
quires far less effort than it does to be for
something And that has been the attitude
of the traditional south since the beginning
of time, and it is one tradition that has no
colorline.
Since the veterans attempt to do some
thing has caused them to blunder, it is our
sincere desire that their laundering con-
tinues. For laundering is never evidenced In
the presence of inertness.
The qualification of the candidate
named by the veterans has been questioned
by certain self-imposed Negro leaders. But
never does the qualification of white can
didate get any discussion in the Negro cir
Giles.
The Negro candidate for the council
post is a practicing attorney, who has pass
ed the Arkansas bar One should under
stand clearly that if he is not qualified he
has better foundation to qualify himself
with city government than ninety percent
of the white men in the city council.
The veterans are further charged with
selecting a man without first finding out
whether he is the peoples choice.

for considerable laundering for it is active
toward uplifting the Negro to first class
citizenship status, and as long as the associa-
ton has that on its agenda, all we can say
is laundering is in order
1t is further stated by self-imposed
political leaders and paid stooges Of the
dixecrats that the veterans will embarraSs
the Negro thru their laundering efforts OF

the mass is not entirely known but It is
the sincere belief of the PRESS that Little

Negro vets will have succeeded for they

As We See II
By William r. Jones

It has always been the opinion Of this
writer that anything pertaining to Masonry
directly or indirectly should have for its
primary purpose the idea of making the
good man better and the better man best
irrespective of race. Further 1t has been
drilled into us that the mission of Masonry
and everything connected with it is to bring
the light of God into the life of man.
Being sincere apostle of this doctrine,
it was shocking to us to read an article in
one of our leading dailies published in this
state, under the caption Interest in Boys
and Masonry Makes Doctor Mr.. DeMolay".
In reading this matter we discovered Mr..
DeMolay in Arkansas to be certain DR.. T.
Freedman born in New York, studied med-
cine in st. Louis came to Little Rock in
1909 and at present is a physician on the
staff of Missouri Pacific hospital.
DR.. Freedman states that DeMolay was
started in 1919 in Kansas City. DeMolay
was the idea of Mason who thought things
were bad and that something should be done
to develop ideals Of good citizenship among
boys. So obsessed was this Mason with this
idea that he gathered group of boys and
began teaching them some of the fundamen-
tails of Masonry such as Love of God, love
of home and love of country"
Dr. Freedman thinks the order is doing
a good job of starting boys down the right
road. To support this opinion he quotes an
Army officer who has never known an ex-
member of DeMolay to go AWOL He fur
Their quotes a Judge who has never known
a member or ex-member of this organization
to be brought before him in court
We have heard much about the DeMolay
and after reading that much of DR.. Freed
mans exposition, we were so impressed
with its ideals and purposes, and realizing

Partners In Crime
BY Maurice r. Franks

The forces of initiation which today are
straining the framework of our economy are
the demands of labor for higher and high
er rate for time as the measure of its pro-
duetivity and of management for a high
er and higher unit profit as measure of
its earning power. Neither demand can
sidestep the other, but each is no less de-
ternined to assert itself, regardless of the
final outcome. The result is irresponsible
violence to the party of the other part
and to all parties caught between.
The partners of production have thus
become partners in crme-for it is a crime
to contribute to the very forces which tend
to weaken the mechanism upon which our
American way of life depends
Both labor and management it seems,
have turned from their economic and social
responsibility of producing the most of the
best for the least and have embarked upon
a wild project of producing the least of the
best for the most. The current attitude on
both sides seems to be me first and the
other guy take the hindmDst'
The danger is not to be mnmiZed for
stronger and stronger governmental action
is daily being called for. Economic Stabilizer
Eric johnson has declared himself in no un-
certain language that thus far I'VE have
only seen the smoke of initiation" that 1.-THE
real fires are now getting hot To which |
add: Controls or no controls, unless we, the
American people, pull ourselves together
and do something pretty definite to curb
initiation, this nation of ours can very easily
go to blazes. Unless we move with character
to preserve our American way of life, we
may very well be paving the way for our
American way of death.
What, then, is the answer? Does it lie
in extending the police power of govern
ment? Few would like to see that such will
make hollow mockery of the purposes and
concepts to which our citizens and our elect
ed representatives are dedicated. There have
