schools are social institutions with
in which groups play a vital part
From the very dawn Of elviliza-
ton individuals find themselves
in a group The family is perhaps
the first or primary group but as
our experiences broaden and our
individual needs grow We find
that the family alone will not
suffice In group life and group
activities one finds that many Of
his individual needs can be met
through association with others
Some Of us make great strides in
individual growth through group
participation. and on the other
hand many of US develop the
group more than ourselves,
The feeling Of belonging" is a
propelling factor when we speak
OF groups. 1t is through groups
that mores and customs are es-
tablished and any group activity
must take heed of community
mores and customs If it is expect
ed to grow.
Leisure time agencies owe
their very existence to group life
These agencies seek to provide a
constructive use of our leisure
time through groups and group
activities II is the knowing" Of
the other fellow and receiving
what talents that ne can bring in
TO the group that helps group
members and the group itself to
develop. There are more than 300
leisure time agencies today, each
seeking to maintain its own ident-
ity, but the life blood of all is
the group and group activities.

VALUE OF GROUP LIFE"

To begin this weeks article we
would like to quote from Mary
p. Toilet the following: The
group process contains the secret
Of collective life. it is the key to
democracy, it is the master lesson
for every individual to learn. it
is our chief hope for the political,
social, the international life of
the future"
We find our modern society a
very complex network of groups
Of which you are a participating
member. The branches of our gov

startling and sensational events
which Luke mentions in chapter
10. Instead, Paul describes his
own day-to-day, door-to-door work
as pastor Of his people. To put 1t

brings God into the lives OF his
people, and brings his people 70

All sorts of names are given TO

the Middle Ages and one that most
ministers, to tell the truth, would
just as soun not have Some call
them Preacher" and they do
preach; but few mini sters preach

A bigger word and better word
is just Minister" This is a word
St. Paul used about himself. and it
was not original with him. Our

fact that the word means One

Teacher

II all you get out of church is a
good feeling" you don't get what
was intended, or else your minis
ter isn't quite up to his job. The
minister who takes St Paul for
his model will be a teacher and
not simply a preacher. We know
that Paul at Ephesus taught in
the lecture-han Of Tyrannus every
weekday, perhaps Sundays too.
The good minister's sermons will
be kind Of education; but he does
not stop there, The minister can't
teach all the classes in Sunday
School but he can see to it that
the Sunday school selects good
teachers He can oversee the
whole business of religious eduCa-
ton in his church, check on what
is being done, help to plan with
the teachers and other workers,
see that the teachers have a
chance to attend training classes,
help build up the Sunday school
library there is hardly any
end to what the minister can do
as teacher, if he has half a mind
in that direction Above all, the
minister is the Bible teacher

CAPABLE NATIVES

CAPABLE NATIVES
THE AFROAMERIGAN not long ago came out for a
native Governor for the Virgin Islands, pointing out that such
amove would show the good faith Of the Eisenhower admin
istration. Then, to prove that there are capable natives who
could fill the position, the Afro-American mentioned, as an
example, the name of DR.. Alonzo Moron, president OF Hamp-
ton Institute.
ATTENTION is CALLED to this editorial to show that
there are national periodicals whose influence could be
brought to bear on this situation. People are believing more
and more in self-government,. and the next step to such IS the
appointment of a native to the position as Governor.
W E ARE FULLY convinced that there are natives who
could do a good Job, who could do as well as anybody who
could possibly be appointed. We are also concerned because
this could prove either a very good or very unfortunate oP-
portunity for these islands. It may be one OF the turning
points. Some politician may get the post just because ne
knows another politician, or a qualified native who could
bring much of what is near and dear to him.
i ADDITION TO Dr.. Moron, we can think Of at least
two other natives who could do the job as well as anybody
who could possibly be named One is G. James Fleming, exc
c,tive editor Of the NJ Y. Amsterdam News. DR.. Fleming has
had a long and varied career in important positions. He has
served with the U. S. Fair Employment Practices Commission
during the second World War, and for many years was Race
Relations Secretary with the Quakers in Philadelphia during
which he did a significant job with colleges and universities
in promoting and promulgating excellent relations through
education He has a BA from the University OF Wisconsin,
MA. in political science, and a PhD. in economics both from
the University of Pennsylvania. He holds membership N nu-
merous national organizations including Phi Beta Kappa.
MORE WELL KNOWN at home is the Honorable
James A. Bough, presently in charge Of the Division OF Non
Self Governing Territories of the United Nations. lie was the
first native to hold the position Of District Attorney for the
Virgin Islands, and during his term Of service DISPATCHED the
duties Of his Office with dignity and ability. Like Dr.. Fleming,

in the entrance to Miraflores
Locks yesterday shortly after
starting the northbound transit
of the Panama Canal. 1t was
about an hour before she could
get clear.
The bow of the big battleShip

she became fast. Neither the

ner own power could move her
forward. Water was finally
spilled into Miraf1ores Lake to
raise the water level before the
ship could back off.
Canal officials said the area
would be swept to determine if
silt was the cause. The battle
ship was one-foot clearance on
either side in the locks and a
maximum draft of 38 feet, which
would give it three-foot clear

before the American Jewish Con-
gress last night. Mr.. Truman
said he feared the fight for free
dom of speech and though sis

Fear Great Silencer.
He added:
Fear of communism is being
manipulated by a few so as to
cause a wave of hysteria in this
country.
Fear is a great silencer and
people are being kept quiet for
fear of being accused of sympa-
thy with communism.
when people become afraid
to speak their beliefs or TO de-
fend the innocent or to explore
new ideas. then freedom is really
in danger"
He said he did not mean 1--WE

Misrepresentation

Frank P. Graham. United Ma

and PakiStan, today declared
there was a great deal of "mis-
representation of the U. N. in
many local communities through
out the United States"
The former Senator from
North Carolina told a meeting of
the National Conference of Chris
tians and Jews in the Mayf1ower
Hotel that some people charge
the United Nations is nothing
but talking forum"
Il think things like this should
be set straight with the facts. Is
it not better that representatives
of nations shout at each other
rather than boys shoot at each
other?" he asked.
Hazard in Book Learning.
Dr. Abram Sachar, president
of BrandeiS University, charged
that it has become politically
hazardous in many areas to
make a pretenSe of book-learn-
ing. Men of intellectual learn
ing are stigmatized as egg
heads 1t is far better to be
identified with things than with
ideas"
The American people are fed
up with crusadeS, they are tired
of providing underpinning for
the tottering democracieS of East
and West" DR.. Sachar said.
They have a nostalgia for the
days when they did not have to
worry about how things went in
countries far away. That is a
grave danger we are facing
today"
Baseball Player Is Speaker.
Al RoSen, Cleveland Indians
lnf1elder, told a youth meeting of
the conference that Clark Grif-
fifth is interested in getting a
Negro player on his team. The
barrier has been broken and now
you will find that all teams are
interested.
Mr.. RoSen later explained that
he felt Mr. Griffith wanted a
player of established reputation
to avoid any bad fan reaction.
He added if a colored player
were brought up who could not
make the grade, the reaction
might be bad.
AFL President George Meany
last night told the conference
that those who are fighting for
the brotherhood of man" will
not be intimidated by little Hit
lers."
They oppose all human prog
ress," he declared. They are
trying to isolate themselves from

build up fortreSses of reaction,
where anti-unionism. anti-Ne-

Money and Goods Exchange
Held Key to Avoiding Slump

other creditor countries main
tain high tariff and other trade
barriers or, because of recess
sion. curtail their imports.
The possibility of "even a
rather small decline in Ameri-
can business activity" gives con-
Germ to many nations. the report
said. It emphasized that the
decline Of United States military
spending need not necessarily
cause business dip. and noted
that the United States Govern
ment is committed to take Wig
orous measures to combat any
| slump.
However. any short downturn
would at once bring back the
dollar problem in it's full sever
ity. despite any action taken by
other countries in the meantime
to strengthen their position" the
report said.
Ivar Rooth. the funds manag-
ing director. in a speech pre-
pared for delivery on presenta-
tion of the report, echoed the
appeal made yesterday by World
Bank President Eugene r. Black
for more liberal United States
tariff policy
II the funds debtor countries
are to achieve "convertibility"-
that is, make their money freely
exchangeable for dollars ano
other currencieS-they must have
more ready access to markets
where dollars can be earned, Mr.
Rooth said.
Steady progress toward elm
ination of dollar deficits in the
past year. Mr.. Rooth went on
has brought the world to a point
at which 1.-The convertibility Of
currencies has become a prac.
ticable objective" He continued
"Convertibility requires a will.
ingneSS to permit considerably
more free competition than i.
the normal practice today, no.
only with other exports in for.
eign markets, but also with i'm
ports in domestic markets.
What the great creditor
countries, and particularly thu
United States, do about theil
foreign economic policies is highl,
important for currency con
vertibility."
The fund advised European
Evening star., 1953-09-10

nations to look to Western
Hemisphere countries other than
the United States as areas in
which dollars can be earned.
Canada. Colombia, Cuba, Mexico
and Venezuela present no bar
riers to convertibility, the report
said, and all have dollars avail
able because of heavy United
States defense buying in the
Western Hemisphere.
Meantime, the World Bank,
whose governors are holding
their annual session jointly with
the fund. approached a show
down with its last Iron Curtain
member, Czechoslovakia.
The banks committee on
finance and organization late
yesterday voted TO recommend
to the governors that Czecho-
slovakia be suspended from
membership on December 81
unless the Czech government
has paid by then the sum it
pledged to the banks capital.
The CZechs still owe $625, 900
of the $2.5 million in gold or
dollars which they pledged seven
years ago.
When a country is suspended
from either the bank or fund,
it is automatically expelled
within another year if it does
not correct the condition which
caused the suspension. The
banks governors will consider
the Czech suspension proposal
