8. Home rule for the District
OF Columbia.
Herman, in his address, a hum
orous discourse which included
references TO baseball, football,
and other topics, blasted the
Dixiecrats in the Democratic
party, and pointed out that eight
of the IL states with FEPC laws
have Republican governors. He
opened his talk by saying:
II am one American who does
not believe that the Republican
party can gather in the Negro
vote merely by calling on the
name Of Abraham Lincoln"
He ended his address with a
reference to Lincoln and a chorus
of cheers.
Judge GutImecht cited pro-
gress made in civil rights during
the past 20 years under a Demo
crat in the White House. He also
plugged Gov. Adlai Stevenson Of
Illinois as his favorite candidate
for president.
During the question period,
both political speakers agreed
with the nine point program, but
neither committed his party.
Edgar c.. Brown, local politi-
clan. tried TO get the floor just as
the question period was up, but ne
managed to ask whether or not
president Truman had made it
possible for Negroes to eat in any
public place in Washington, d. c.
The mention Of the name of
President Truman brought many
cheers from the audience. So did
the mention OF the name of Paul
Robson, noted left wing concert
artist.
Dr. Charles NJ. Thompson ser
we'd as chairman of the program,
and George N. Leighton, presi-
dent, Chicago branch, NAACP,
gave a welcoming address. Duane
tPaD Greathouse, director, re-
gion 4, United Auto Workers
clio, also spoke on civil rights.

PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH

Last Sundays a. m. service at
Pilgrim was opened by Scripture
Reading by Rev. J. w. Junell.
The subject of the Children's
Story was. How the Bird Got
Wings"
The text of Rev. Floyd Mas
sey's sermon was found in Levitt
Gus 1915 Thou shalt not go up
and down as talebearer among
thy people. Subject, Are you a
bearer of good news or bad, and
the sin of gossip" The pastor
stated that there is much sin in
the spreading of rumors or re-
ports which defame regulations.
The tongue which is an import
ant part of our being is guilty in
many instances of this sin of Cos
sip. This habit not only damages
the person who is the victim of
such gossip, but it also damages
the person who carries it. He al
so stated that one of the greatest
prayers is, God, keep my tongue
from evil" The best way to do
this is to fill oneself with good.
We must seek to reverence Him
who chose the way of the resur-
rection.

Pneumonia Explained

A vital factor that may help 70
explain why pneumonia occurs 90
often following attacks Of the COM
mon cold' has been discovered by
three University OF Michigan scien-
lists. The researchers have found
that excessive mucous secrstions
In the body's breathing tract can
lower the ability Of tissue to resist
infection. Animal experiments with
human mucous and its components
have been reported by DR.. Walter
J. Nungester, J. K. Bosch and Oar
win Alfonso Of the Univsrsity's Med
Zeal School Department Of Bacter-
iology. The report appears In the
issue OF Q journal entitled the
Proceedings Of the Society Of
Experimental Biology and Medi-
cine" In an interview. DR.. Nunges-
ter explained that in healthy per-
sons normal mucous secretion plays
an active part In protecting the
body against disease. However, he
indicated. excessive secretion which
may occur during an attack Of the
common cold" upSetS the body's
natural protective mechanism and
permits more serious infection to
readily take place. A certain
amount of acid is needed by the
stomach to perform its digestive
work, but excessive amounts OF
acid result In harmful effects. he
explained. The lowering OF body re-
stStance when excessive mucous
secretion occurs may be due TO an
interference with vital tissue chem
zeal processes necessary to COM
bat infection.

EBONY reflects the everyday
life of the Negro people. She ex-

the topic, IF I were a Negro"
which appeared in NEGRO d.
GEST, a publication now temper
arily discontinued.

HAL BOYLE SAYS

Even dogs and innocent children
are harried by bad dreams.
The other night friend of mine
was startled by the crying of his
six-year-old daughter, When he
went to comfort her, she said:
Daddy, / dreamed / was in a
boat with two men. They were
rowing around in the water pick
ing up pieces and every
piece of paper was where a little
boy had died"
Why should a child have such an
inexplicable nightmare?
Presentiments of death and dis
aSter come to all of us at times
and gloom our slumber for no rea-
son that we know. Sleep-which
Shakespeare called the balm of
hurt minds and sore natures bath
then is neither bath nor balm,
but a cold shower to terror, from
which we rouse sweating.
Mankind's three most common
dreams are these:
l. A shy person finds himself
naked in a ieering crowd.
2. You suddenly find yourself
able to float or fly with the great
est of ease.
3. You so along licking up long
row of dimes, quarters and half
dollars on sidewalk.
My trouble is that I have all
these dreams at once, am soaring
along without my trousers on vain
ly reaching down trying to grab
coins from the sidewalk until all at
once | Grassland wake up on the
floor, poor as ever and nursing a
bruised elbow.
What want is for science to
come up with a capsule to create a
shining world of dream in which no
man is bald, he wears a new $50
suit with his pockets full of gold
pieces, all women are fair, poll
ticianS are speechless, and income
tax collectors intrude only to blow
hugle that announces a big re-
fund.
Why should a capsule like that
