theme Creatures of Experience"
at the Dec. II morning service.
The root Of our troubles today u.
we do not accept the Bible In good
faith. We should honor the work
OF God with our life and not our
tongue only. The pioneers Of our
faith had only the practical on
which TO rely, and since experience
is the best teacher, we do not &C
cept their records but have tried
to make records Of our own only
to find. as they did, Gods pre-
sence in our hearts makes us
humble. willing to get along with
our neighbor and relegate
SELF to the background. All at
tempts to destroy the Bible have
proved futile, for II they had done
so. il would have meant distruc-
ton Of our Christian Faith.
As our visitor, we had with Us

VA Again Warns GIs to Study
Home Contracts Before Signing

The Veterans ADMINISTRATOR
Washington Regional ONCE to-
day reiterated a warning to
veterans that they be careful,
when signing a contract for the
purchase Of o house, to learn
beforehand specifically what the
contract provides for.
The new warning called atten-
ton to the recent decision Of
the Maryland Court of Appeals
in the cases Of two District area
veteran purchasers who took legal
action to avoid price increase
on houses they signed up for
nearly two years ago.
In one case, the court held un-
animously that the original con-
tract was offered by the builder
mainly to hold the property of
the market for the veteran and
that it was "too indefinite to be
specifically enforced" The vet

Labor Gets A Warning
BY Lauren White

BY Lauren White
Laborers in the United States enjoy as
many of the good things Of life as kings did
q century ago. In fact, they enjoy much
more in 1852 than the very wealthy and pow
erful did years ago. Our modern conven-
fences, labor saving devices, and life preser-
vatives are legion. Radios, television sets,
telephones, airplanes, penicillin sulfa drugs
and many other conveniences are taken for
granted The average laborer in the United
States can enjoy them ALL He has pleasant
working conditions, limited working hours.
and reasonable job security
Labor rightfully deserves the good
things ii has received. Labor is the foundd-
ton of our society However, it is not the en-
tire structure. Without capital which is a
sort of static labor, the laborer's standard
Of living would not be what it is today
In primitive society, labor is infinite
ly more important than capital. In a highly
developed society, labor and capital are of
equal Importance. In a society such as ours
a capital investment of $4,000 is required
for every job that labor has. Capital must

lis Seeing Il Through That Counts

The oft repeated saying, THE race is
not given to the swift nor the battle to the
strong, but to him who holdeth out and en-
dureth to the end is not only true in a
religious sense, but holds good in almost
every walk of life and line of endeavor. Be-
ginning is easy, but holding out seeing it
through, is what counts in the final analysis.
The enthusiast starts out on the race or
takes hold of project without carefully
counting up the cost, or figuring out what
supplies are necessary to make it possible
for him to reach the desired goal. He runs,
or works, until his enthusiasm cools, and be-
ing void of the compass Of fore-thought and
determination, abandons the race, gives up
In despair, and lays the blame for his failure
on somebody, other than himself while the
person who has the ability and takes the
time to think and plan, once attempting to
carry out a project, plods slowly but pro-
gressvely onward until his plans are sue
cessfully carried out

lies in his ability to stick to one thing until
he gets there or accomplishes that which he

Many young men and young women,
who may read this editorial, started out a

A Commencement Speech
BY EARL

1T is a crime to close the doors Of OPP
portunity to anyone because of race, creed or
color" were the words Of Congressman Cor
neal a. Davis when he delivered the Dunbar
high school and junior college commence
ment address here recently.
Mr.. Davis who is a representative from
the first District in the state of Illinois
spoke to approximately 1000 persons last
Thursday night at the city auditorium. Mr..
Davis made an appeal to the high school and
junior college graduates to become educated
and TO seek some field that they are best
suited for. The speaker from Illinois also
pointed out the fact that it is the educated
Negro that will lift his weaker brother out
of economic slavery "As long as one of us is
in slavery all Of US are in slavery" He also
warned not 10 educate yourselves away
from your peoples wants and needs. The
congressman pointed out the ballot as be-
ing one Of our most effective weapons. II
was also urged that all graduates would take
full advantage of the opportunity of voting
as soon as they could qualify.

Indiscriminate pay increases can cause

It's Not How; But That We Do

There are approximately 100 900 Negro
e In Arkansas eligible to vote during the
coming year. When we say eligible. We mean
people who have become Of age and have
equipped themselves with the traditional
poll tax receipt, which is prerequisite to
voting in Arkansas. With that number of
Negroes eligible to vote out of Arkansas to-
tai voting capacity means that Arkansas is
ready to discard her traditional practices
and march with the changing times. But, the
catch here is getting that vote out.
This is job for our leaders. Instead
