PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: ats pc wind that never
changes" is the way used to hear
the thing put by my grandma when
| was a boy, and | know now as
| learned long time ago that she
was giving vent to the wisdom and
philosophy that have come down
through time and the ages in the
lore and tradition of the Tribe of
Hagar. The same idea has been
transmitted to posterity, mongst
those of different in express
sions that have become a part of
the classic tradition, and because
of such expressions in times of
great concern and forebodings
folks have been able to look back
on such savings and find the new
courage and new hope on which
progress is made | heard some
frustrated members of the Tribe of
Fl gar lamenting over what's
wrong in the world as it affects
Amt Haggars Chilluns while I was
eating my fish and drinking my
beer, and the way they were talk
ing about things and a-going on
they'd reach the end of the road
as far as they were concerned.
The more | listened to their con-
versation the more it dawned on
| me that they hadn't never heard
of that fellow, who in dire strai-
ghts out on that lake that day, with
faith and future of his country at
stake, in the face of what looked
like a hopeless case, kept saying
Don't Give Up The Ship" and as
| far as that remark is concerned
there may be those who'll say that
Amt Hagar's Chillun don't know
to much about history noways,
which may all be true, but what |
started out to say is this, When
ever my grandma used to talk she
put history, philosophy, tradition,
wisdom, and understanding in a
fewer words than I've ever been
able to find in any kinda book,
cept'n of course the BIBLE, which
was my grandma's favorite book
Looking back to her, when
ever the breaks got tough, and
everything suddenly becomes
cloudy and foreboding, | just keep
plugging away Remembering
all the time that my grandma used
to say and it's still good
advice for Amt Haggar's Chillun
everywhere ITS A Pc WIND
THAT NEVER CHANGES.

The world is growing wiser toda!
With degrees of every kind anC
type
Yet the degrees won't save your
soul from hell
With this world in a hell of {
fight.
Wise men degrees no Christ il
your life
What will become of your soul
No heaven you are working for
For this hell you cannot control
Degrees will make you popular il
life
Without the love of God it is no
we'll
You are having your heaven or
this side
Then die and go to a burning hell
He'll will be set on fire on judg.
ment day
And my Gods rules will be able
to stand
None but the righteous shall sec
God
And inherit that heavenly stand.
God created heaven and earth
Then He said let us make man
He made man in His image
And gave to the world his com
mand.
The command of God was love
To every sould who believes in
Him as well
And to those who would not be-
lieve in Him
Their souls would be doomed to
hell.
God only made one man I'm tolc
And gave to him a charge to keer
in life
To take mans rib and made fol
him
A help mate to call his wife.
They broke the law God gave then
And ate of that forbidden fruit
Some say the love of money is the
fruit of all evil
But the Bible tells me it's the root
You can change the saying, also
your time
But you can't change the will OF
God
You have changed everything you
can in life
But the will of God is to hold.
You have mixed the blood of every
race
You have had the power to do
But you can't tell what race they
Because they are just like you.
Some don't know their brother TO-
day
Neither know their sister as we'll
You have mixed their blood from
A to z
So now they are raising hell.
Millions know the name of God
Yet don't know Him in departing
their sins
That's why the world is in hell
of a fix
And the war can't have no end.

STRAIGHT
AHEAD

NEW YORK - (Globa) = The
most recent report on the finan-
cial condition of the II banking
institutions in the United States
that are controlled by Negroes,
puts the combined figure of their
assets ct $50 million. This repre-
sents a substantial increase over
the previous year, but the amount
is still far, short of what is needed
to enable the Negro to make any
considerable improvement in his
economic status.
Negroes in New York City do
not control bank as such, but
Carver Federal Savings and Loan
Association, a banking institution
which provides practically all the
services of a bank, is Negro-con-
trolled and managed. At present
its assets are slightly over 81 mil
lion. Carver's steady growth has
rated enthusiastic applause from
New Workers and others outside
the State, out when it is consid-
cred that another neighborhood
Savings and Loan Association in
New York has assets of more than
$35 million--more than all Negro
banks in the country combined
one can see just how far the race
has to go economically before it
can hope to improve it's position
materially.
Without minimizing the impor-
tance of the fight for Civil Rights.
there must be carrid on simultan-
eously a fight for economic rights.
Just as the NAACP is battling to
protect the Civil Liberties of mi
nority groups; and as the Urban
Leagues are fighting to increase
job opportunities for minorities,
there is need for some organized
effort to encourage Negroes par
ticularly to fight for economic Sc
curity on another front.
A capitalist nation such as the
United States is run pretty much
on credit. Homes and apartment
buildings, factories and other in
dustrial plants, are built on Dor
rowed money, either through mort
cages or commercial credit.
On this subject, Daniel Webster
once said: "Credit is the vital air
of the system of modern commerce.
It has done more-a thousand
times more-to enrich nations than
all the mines of the world. We
can, then, see how important cred
it is. Yet, for the most part, the
sources of business and mortgage
credit are closed to Negroes.
This, it seems to me, is more
responsible for so few Negroes be-
ing successful in business than is
the constantly repeated belief that
the Negro is not capable.
1t is sad to relate, but it is true,
that the conventional money-lend-
ing institutions, banks and insur-
ance companies, have not been fair
in dealing with Negroes. Mort
cages on homes are hard to get,
and it is just about impossible for
"a Negro to get substantial bust
ness loan. This discrimination has
continued to exist, despite the fact
that Negro borrowers have been
proven to be good risks.
How to overcome this handicap
is challenge the Negro faces.
THAT being true, it is obvious that
one way to attack the problem is
by building up Negro Institutions.
Ii the Negro banks had assets
of $500 million instead of $32 mil
lion, they cold do much toward
building the Negro economically
and if Carver had $40 million in
assets instead of So million, it
could provide mortgages for g.
600 home-owners instead of the 400
which they served in 1851.

death DESERVES A REASON

Despite my many complaints and rebellons against
the faults of Government and armed
forces, wish to emphasize: (1) am proud OF my
American heritage and will defend, with my life,
the inherent freedoms in man, and (2) resentmens
do not prevent me in the least from playing compe-
tent role an American Servceman. This is very
real war at times and many men painfully die. This
consideration alone is sufficient to make any other
motives obscure and directs my wholehearted eff
forts to spare American lives Often the only to
do this is by destroying the enemy This have done
at times.
Clearly, am not advocate of war and its attend
ant devices. Nor do 1 propose overthrow of
agencies but suggest rather purge that would cleanse
and provide substantial foundation for the old, but
neglected, precepts of liberty conceived by Ameri
cas- inspired and resoute founding fathers.
My pains are real I've been wet with the warm,
fresh blood of dying boy. I've watched it make thick
pools the ground and the color fade from
smiling and hopeful faces | wished to God | could
have given to the imploring questions read
the silent lips 1t is tragic that such supreme
rifice cannot gain consolation if not merit from the
recognition of clearly defined issues for which it is
made To me, death deserves, at least, reason. 1

legs of contemporary and widespread popularity.

Ny lessons have been costly but not without

before that the defense and preservation of freedom

warfare, but in the constructive example of righteous
living. Unnatural war has equipped me with the very
implements with which seek to destroy it. 1t para

There is much to be done. 1 love my America I've

Local co-operatives affiliated with
the Farmers Union Central Exchange
will receive $4,5OO,OOO in patronage
refunds made possible by pooling
their purchasing power through the
Central Exchange.
IN reviewing the results of the
years operations, E. A. Syftestad,
general manager, said. The Central
Exchange has finished it's twenty
first year in excellent financial con-
dition. Sales are at an all-time high.
Patrons purchases were substantially
over $43,000,000 and savings were
correspondingly high. Such an i'm
crease can be attributed to more
farmers purchasing greater percent
ge Of their supplies -co-operatively
And this in tdrn is additional proof
that the farmers value and use the
cooperative business they have
built"
