istration of the civil rights law
prohibiting racial and religious dis
elimination in places of public ac-
commodation.
Herman L. Weisman, chairman
of the Commission on Law and
Social Action of the American Jew
ish Congress, charged that "the
phrase, near churches has re-
placed restricted as a method of
discouraging Jewish patronage in
violation of law, and it's use con-
stitutes an affront to the Jewish
people,"
Haven't Got Religion
The complaint charged that the
new phrases are understood by the
general public, by travel agents and
by persons familiar with the resort
industry as meaning that Jewish
patronage is unYelcome. The sud
den appearance vof phrases like
"near churches" in resort advertise
ments, the complaint charged, can
not be attributed to any sudden re-
surgence of interest in religious
facilities, or to the construction of
new churches in resort areas.
Further, the American Jewish
Congress charged, the advertise
ments of the resorts in question do
not mention the availability of Jew
ish houses of worship, although
there are synagogues within con-
venient distance of both.

CAMPHOR CHURCH NEWS

As Rev I. D. Dorsey was gone
to the conference, our pulpit was
occupied by Rev. c. T. Parker last
Sunday morning. The theme of his
sermon was, THE Power of God,
on which he spoke very informa-
lively. He showed us the compen-
sations we receive by studying
Gods word and living according
ly Sometimes the path is very
rugged because God is trying to
show us a point we cannot see
until we have been made to suffer,
but how we are able to benefit
after we have seen the light.
When we realize the purpose of
this great power is to bless and
not hinder Gods plans for us, then
we can more fully understand the
magnitude of Gods power.
The Pew rally sponsored by the
Ruth Circle of the WSCS, was
quite a success all around. Our
guest speaker. Mrs. Harold Van
Krevlen chose to speak very in
formally on the duties of women
of the church.
In this day of hectic activity,
the speaker said we should still
take time to hold family devo-
tons, preferably in the morn
ings, as that is practically the
only time of day when the entire
family can assemble together) be-
cause the background of a good
Christian home is such a tremen-
dous asset for our youth. Since
our youth of today, she added, are
the men and women of tomorrow
il is up to us to see that they face
the future with good solid
Christian foundation. BY living
close to God, and taking time to
thank Him for His manifold bless
ings, we feel peace within our
selves, which is the first step to-
wards universal peace.
Mrs. Golden of Mount Olivet
church visited with us last Sun
day morning and expressed the
joy she felt in seeing the vast i'm
provements that had been made in
the appearance of the church since

conference:
Last April a study was initial
ed on the manner in which the Air
Force was utilizing Negro per
sonnet Certain deficiencies and
undesirable aspects of the praC-
tees Of the Air Force in this
connection had become quite ap-
parent and corrective action was
clearly indicated.
The problem was approached
primarily from the standpoint Of
correcting the waste and inef-
fiCiency which was resulting from
the utilization of our Negro per
sonnet within the limited struc-
ture of Negro units and vacancies.
In some specialities, there were
more qualified Negroes than were
vacancies; in other specialities
there were more vacancies than
there were qualified individuals to
fiji the vacancies. The 10 per cent
Negro strength quota further ag-
gravated the problem" Editors
note; Prior to April II, 1949. Ne
groes were ADMITTED to the armed
services on quota basis).
To date there have been no
racial problems at the 31st Air
Division and it was the opinion of
the group and those interviewed
that this was primarily because
the racial attitudes in the Twin
Cities is somewhat better than
that found in other localities.
When the personnel leaves the
base, they must conform to the
local laws and customs and In
some cities this sets up some real
problems.
Another interesting fact learned
was that the rate of disciplinary
action at the installation was exc
tremely low. This Is the exact OPP
posite of where all-Negro units
exist in the armed services, the
disciplinary rate is high.
The group left the base con-
WINGED that the Negro personnel
was being utilized to its maximum
capacity and skill and that there
is a need for community action to
provide more social outlets for
Air Force personnel.
