Is Your Name
ASHBY?
DO YOU KNOW THAT:


ASHBY is an old English sur
name of relatively simple origin.
It stems from the Old English
'aesc" and by, meaning respec-
lively lash tree" and "dwelling";
and it therefore was bestowed up
on those who lived near an ash
tree The ash tree was one of the
most useful trees in England, for
its tough, stout wood provided
spears and weapons for early war
riors. 1t should be noted also that
surnames first came into use about
the year 1000; and it obviously
was logical to apply to people
names that were Indicative Of their
place or residence, occupation OF
physical appearance.
JOHN ASHBY G74O-l815D and

Insulated Building
Needs Vapor Sealing

With the increased use Of insu-
latioa i'm farm storages and the
home. there is growing apprecia
ton Of the necessity for effective
ly vapor sealing that insulation
against penetration Of moisture.
Napors condensing within the
body Of insulation reduce its value
and may cause decay, points out
Ray W. Carpenter, University Of
Maryland extension agricultural
engineer.
Vapor barriers capable of re-
strictng the movement Of water
vapor to not more than one grain
of water vapor per square foot of
surface per hour, are needed to
properly protect insulation from
moisture, says Carpenter. The bar
liers must have continuous sur

with all joints well Tapped and ce-

Where Shall We Put Our Trusf?-
BY S. S. Taylor

Kneeling in prayer with eyes and hands
lifted up and heavy chains dangling from his
wrists, Uncle Tom, in Classic Comic Is
'Uncle Toms Cabin'-presents one philosophy
of problem solution.
statement by Harry Ashmore in his
"Negro and The Schools" presents a contrast
ing philosophy. ''This (the redefinition of mi
nority rights hes been reflected in persistent
pressure from Negroes, now organized as new
er before and from human relations agen-
cies
The first philosophy was natural prod
uct of slavery The utterly dependent status
of the Negro and the utterly ruthless power
of the slave trapping, slave trading, and slave
working system, plus the elaborate legal sub
lection which gradually evolved combined to
develop a sense of personal helplessness and
a total dependency upon providential help. De-
fianee, independence or even the slightest de
parture from abject servility or utmost sub
mssiveness, humbleness, and establishment
was likely to bring down various disagree
able consequences including separation from
loved ones and physical beating. Even where
the lot of the slave was tolerable, he lived
under the shadow of fear and moved about
under never ceasing surveillance.
Small wonder that vestiges of the fears
of slave days have crept down into the pres
ent and cause many Negroes to study what
they think the white man wants them to say
before they open their mouths. This attitude
has some startling manifestations. A field
worker charged with setting up the Negro
zide of interracial committees in Louisiana
after the first world war found that many
desirable Negro leaders did not want to serve
on such committees. Pressed for reasons, such
persons usually stated that they feared per-
sonal pressure which would tie them to con-
illusions at variance with their convictions.
Harry Ashmore puts his finger on one
reason back of Negro statements in favor of
segregation when he says, ut is probable that
some resistance to indignation would even be
recorded among Negroes, who might respond
negatively out of simple fear Of the unknown,
or the desire to protect their children against
possible overt discrimination by white class
mates or teachers" The fact is that slavery
has left the mark of fear on many Negroes
just as it has left the arrogance of caste ON
many white people

Our Reporters In Washington But
They Are Designed TO Get The Truth

This Of course is legitimate. However,
the clever reporter has mastered the art of
needing" the official who is being inter
viewed without obviously slapping him in the
face. In other words, he uses a stietto in
stead of a meat axe and when it is all over,
no one could possibly argue that he was not
the very soul of discretion.
We are happy to know that our Negro re-
porters have in recent years been able to at
tend these presidential press conferences and
bring up the questions Negroes everywhere are
interested IN The charge has often been
made however that Negroes at such times
become completely absorbed in the race prob
lem and belabor that question to the eXclu-
sion of all others. That is certainly under
standabe, because we have had to live with
this problem every day and have been weight
cd down with it.
Our reporters in Washington, thru skill
full handling of their questions can make it
Enthusiastically clear that our problems on the
home front are Of prime importance But they
also have the responsibility for seeing 10 il
that their questions are legitimate designed

patton Proclamation and the Thirteenth
amendment Aided by the always limited
group which believes in abstract justice, the
Negro has put his faith in the methods Of
Eliza rather than the methods of Uncle Tom
and has struck blow after blow for his own
freedom. The dark hours of legalzed political
subservience joined the midnight hours of
physical slavery when largely through Negro
efforts under the shaping hand of the Ma
ACP, the Negro Democrat was admitted to
the white Democratic primary. We could
see the gray of approaching light when Ne
gro efforts opened the way for acceptance OF
Negro students into some southern universe
ties and scattered universities in the nation
began hiring Negro teachers. The sun rose
completely above the horizon when the MA
ACP lawyers obtained the recent anti-Segre-
cation decision.
There was time during the first world
war when even the NAACP felt the necessity
for compromise and agreed to a Negro Of
ficers' training camp. But at this stage of the
proceedings, it is necessary for us to remind
ourselves that the Negro has come into his
own in principle and that he must now con-
centrate on putting the principle into. prac-
tice.
Struggle is the inevitable accompaniment
of progress. A great labor organization has
called strikes at this time to translate prin-
cipie into practice. The floor of the senate
has just been the scene of a minority effort
to make the practices of one of its commit
tees conform to the long accepted principles
of our constitution and laws. Republican lead
ers are engaged in desperate effort to get
over in congress enough measures to justify
their reelection by the public. The century
long World-domination of the Saxon is chal-
lenged by the long submerged but rapidly
rising Slav, and triumphant free enterprise
finds itself on the defensive against rampant
"Reds."
The way of progress is the way Of strug
gle. Despite the epochal importance of the
Supreme Court decision, it is necessary fOl
the Crisis admonition to be restated This is
a major battle won not a campaign ConClud
ed 1t is to be hoped the fruits of victory vii
not be lost by tlmidity on the part of those
who must now press forward at the local lave
to translate constitutional victory into loca

During the past few weeks, we have no.
ticed considerable criticism of President Els
enhower for being "snappish" with some re-
porters at his weekly press conference. Men
toned particularly was a Negro woman re-
porter whose questions on segregation, hous-
ing and the like as they effect Negroes seem
to have irritated the president.
Many people do not understand the tech
niques employed by reporters in these con-
ferenCes. While the press conference may be
designed for reporters to get the news first
hand for their readers" it is undeniably true
that many reporters are sent there to draw
out a certain angle of the news, and their
questions are framed many times to put an
official on the spot
Certainly liberal" newspaper which had
established a reputation for backing almost
exclusively the causes of labor and advocat-
ing a government supervision over most Of
the nations activity, would expect its repre-
sentative to frame a question in such a way
as to gain public sympathy for the views Of
his paper. The conservative" newspapers re-
preventative the paper which supports the
idea of free enterprise and the development 20
individual initiative will ask questions de-
signed to bring out the points which his news
paper supports.

The Paradoxes Of Segregation

The American Negro living in the south
has proved thru the years his ability to cope
with some of the most difficult situations
known to mankind His patience in dealing
with the idiosyncrasies, inferiority csmplexes
and paradoXes in southern life are at times
almost astounding to behold.
On the train Negroes sit in the front, on
the bus, in the back. In one court house they
are relegated to the galleries in another to
the rear of the lower floor. In still another,
they are allowed one side of the entire court
room. In one city Negroes may use the pub
lie parks in another they are barred AT one
filling station they may use the restroom, at
another they dare not try. One filling station
