STRAIGHT AHEAD
BY Julius j. Adams


New York, (GlobaD Race rela-
tions is big business. 1t is also
an effective prestige-builder.
Millions of dollars are spent an
nually for the improvement of race
relations and experts of both races
crop up in the oldest places. A
most insignificant white person
will suddenly find himself getting
cational publicity, and being wide
ly acclaimed if he so much as
makes a statement that he believes
Negoes are not inferior to white
people. Also, the most talked about
Negroes are those who work with
inter-racial organizations.
Both Negroes and whites find
race relations a means of winning
public esteem. The reason for this
seems to be that the Negro is the
conscience of America and is the
basis for a moral issue, especially
in politics.
The late Wendell L. Willkie, for
example, did not become nationally
adored until after his Chicago
speech in which he challenged the
United States to give the Negro a
square deal and did not become
world famous until he declared for
Zone World" with fairness for all
peoples.
In recent years the race problem
has provided an opportunity for
scores of Negroes and whites to
earn thousands of dollars for
speeches, books and pamphlets. Lii

her book, Strange Fruits" and

need for more registered nurses by
, improving working conditions in
the profession, will be the subject
Of the three-day workshop on eco
nomic security in Omaha, Neb. The
workshop has been planned for tne
representative of fifty-two state
and territorial associations affili-
ated with the American Nurses
Association.
Miss Ella Best, RN, executive
secretary of the Association, said
that the purpose of the workshop
is to consider practical ways and
means to improve working condi-
tions of nurses throughout the
country.
"In the hunt for solutions to the
acute shortage of nurses that con-
fronts almost every city and rural
area, we must attack fundamental
problems first" Miss Best said.
Sound economics for nursing is
one of the most immediate and
pressing needs if the profession is
| to retain active nurses on their.
jobs, attract inactive nurses to re-
turn to duty, and induce girls to,
enter nursing"
The ANA six years ago, pioneered
the principle that a professional
association can negotiate for it's
members. Despite opposition from
many forces, considerable progress
has been made in many areas in
raising minimum salary standards
and in reducing hours of work,
Miss Best said.
AKA took another widely herald
ed step when, in 1850, its House of
Delegates adopted a "no-strike"
policy.
"This voluntary REIMBURSEMENT
of probably the most powerful eco
nomic weapon available, reaffirmed
long standing principle that the
welfare of the patient is first and
foremost" Miss Best declared. "At
the same time, it imposes moral
obligation upon employers to deal
fairly with the representatives of
nurses, an obligation which has TOO

Even in the South, the men and
women with real national stature
and prestige are those who have
shown the most liberal attitude to-
ward the Negro. Few men have
ever gained truly great prominence
in public life nationally, who did
not have or at least claim a re2-
sonably good record of fairness ON
the Negro question.
In spite of the millions of dol
lars spent annually for the im-
provement Of race relations in the
United States and despite the great
honors that have come to those
who work for this Improvement,
the process moves very slowly.
One of the reasons given for the
slow improvement of race relations
is that so much of the money is
mis-spent and so many of the
perons are either misguided or
hypocritical. Another reason prog
less is slow is that all the persons
in the field of race relations are
not working toward the same ob-
iective. Many of the people with
their sights cast on different goals,
are working in the same organiza-
tions. Negroes and whites are

For example, there are hundreds
of white persons sincerely working
! to improve racial understanding
but have no thought at all about
giving the Negro equal status with
whites in American life. These peo-
pie actually abhor the treatment
Negroes suffer, but they merely
want conditions ameliorated. There
is an equally large number of Ne
groeS who do not believe the fight
is for complete emancipation OF
the Negro. Some believe that the
Negro must build his life within
the white society," but not neces-
sarily an integrated part of it. 1t
would be interesting to know just
how many white persons would re-
main active in the field of race re-
lations if they had to declare them
selves for the complete breakdown
of racial barriers in every phase OF
life.
In working toward the establish
ment of a true democracy in this
country, we should see to it that
the millions of dollars spent for the
purpose, are not squandered.

ness in filling odd requests. For certain
communities it turns out luminous signs,
capable of being read on moonless nights.
A Brazilian city recently called for giant
signs with the names of the streets soaring
in letters one and half feet high. The
mayor said too many of his constituents
were myopic.
Recently, the Bettinger people were baf-
fed when an order came in for signs reading
''Hopalong Cassidy Street." ''Superman
Avenue. ""Dick Tracy Boulevard" and Roy
Rogers Road" The mystery was cleared up
when the purchaser explained that he owned
private camp for boys. 1t was his theory
that streets named after popular small-fry
heroes would make it easier for the kids to
negotiate the camps sprawling acreage.
An Order From Texas
ACCORDING to Abe Sprung, exclusive dis
tributor for the company, the oldest request
came from Texas oil millionaire who sent
along specimen of his signature and
ordered gilt-edged facsimile of it embossed
on sign. 1t seems he had modestly named
the road bordering his estate after himself.
The company accommodated the tycoon at
cost of $25 per plate. A few months later
the millionaire wrote in again, asking for
new signs bearing his name, but specified
that this time they be printed in conven-
tional letters. A crook had photographed his

The town of Gaithersburg, sit
uated five miles from Rockville on
u. S. Route 240, in the heart of
Montgomery County, was named
for Benjamin Gather, who built
the first house in its limits in
1902.
A quarter century later there
were still only three or four
houses in the area that later be-
came the town. Between 1850 and
the completion of the Metropolitan
Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad in 1873, the town was
known as Forest Oak.
Local tradition has it that
George Washington - then Jun
Tor Officer in the army of General
Braddock during the French and
Indian War - made camp under
a large white oak tree which still
stands in the town, and Gathers
burg was the rallying point of the
upper county men who came in
the "Levy" that made up the por-
ton of the Continental Army
furnished by Montgomery County
in the War of the Revolution.
Throughout all the years of its
existence. Gaithersburg has been
the focal point of the supper coun-
ty'' both from a commercial and
social point of view; a fact which
is a source of pride to it's citizens.
Gaithersburg was first incorpo-
rated in 1878 as "The Commission
ers of Gaithersburg". and twenty
years later - in 1898 - change
was made to the present form of
government, under which the
greatest development of it's facil-
tiles has come about.
While situated in a predomi-
nantly rural area, there are many
fiourishing businesses of various
kinds. as well as an active, COM
munity-minded social life, all of
which combines to make Gathers
burg the ideal community of it's
kind, and unique among the rural
communities of the State of Mary
land.
Gaithersburg is one of the few
rural areas that has not stood by
and let the world pass it by, and
if were looking for a phrase to
sum up its present attitude 1 be-
lieve the shortest true slogan
would be: "GROW WITH GAL
THERSGURG!"

grown in comparative yield test;
certified seed of recommended vari-
eties is being produced for sale,
and crop rotation experiments are
helping to determine the place Of
corn in Montana's agricultural econ
omy.
A three-year-old experiment has
shown that excellent yields result
from combination of high nitro
gen fertility and increased plant
population. Where 10000 to $4,000
corn plants to the irrigated acre is
usual, the station has had good re-
suits with $4,000 per acre after
applying nitrogen fertilizer. Results
of this years even denser planting,
