BRIEFS
Date Set For Independent
Builders Exposition:

NEW YORK, (GlobaD-Herman
Campbell, president Of the Inde-
pendent Builders, Inc. of Jackson
Heights, Long Island, this week
announced the date for the organ
ization's Pageant of Progress Ex-
position. Scheduled to take place
June 8-12 at the 369th Regiment
Armory, 143rd Street and Fifth
Avenue in New York City, the Ex-
position will be a tribute to the
Negro because of his important
contributions to the development
of this country.
Businesses and industries which
have in recent years come to recog-
nize the significance of the Ne
gro's participation in the growth
of America, and which have had
wide experience in dealing with
Negroes in business and commun-
ity enterprises, will display their
goods and participate in a general
program of dramatZing this new
era in Negro life. In addition, free
exhibits will depict the role of the
Negro in industry, business, science,
the arts, education, politics, reli-
gion, government and culture.
Mr.. Campbell said that Inde-
pendent Builders was inspired to
sponsor such an Exposition because
its experience in home building and
financing had proved beyond doubt
that Negroes are excellent credit
risks. He said further that his or
ganiZation feels that a greater eff
fort should be made to point up
the Negros' virtues as a tenant,
homeowner and citizen.
Independent Builders, Inc. was
organized in 1947 to build and fl
nance housing for minorities who
had experienced difficulty in find
ing suitable homes.

UNITED
NOTES
BY JAMES r. LAWSON

UNITED NATIONS, NY. (Glo-
baD-The Kenya Story-The story
behind "Mau Mau" is told for the
first time in "The People of Kenya
Speak For Themselves" by Mbiyu
Koinange, who is son of a para
mount chief and President of the
Kenya Teachers College. In 1851
he was sent by his people ito make
known the, truth of what they
think, feel and want, to the people
outside East Africa" This booklet
published by Kenya Publication
Fund, 600 Woodward Avenue, De-
troit, Michigan, carries out part
Of that mission.
Mr. Koinange claims he can
bring about a cease-fire in Kenya.
II can do that within four weeks
of my arrival in Kenya. Here now,
before the people of Kenya, of
Britain, of the United States and OF
the whole civilized world, declare
that further bloodshed is useless" :"
The author points out that today
in Kenya, British colony on the
east Coast of Africa, over $4,000
men, women and children have
been killed. Mr.. Koinange, whose
father and brothers are today in
concentration camps in Africa, de-
scribes in vivid detail how ad-
vanced his people are, how they
were trying to go to school, to
learn, to trade, and to build other
organizations like people all over
the civilized world until the Euro
pean settlers imposed the present
emergency" Now, he says, few
thousand settlers have closed down
African schools, churches, cOopera-
tives and organizations (most inn
portant was the Kenya National
Bank) put the Africans into con-
centration camps, drove the young
people into the hills, and are now
trying to liquidate the five and
one-half million Africans in Ken
va. The booklet is dedicated to
Njeri, the leader of the African
Women's League, an organization
Of 10000 women. She is now in a
prison camp. Mr.. Kojnange writes:
] would like to tell her story and
ask women in organizations in
Britain, America, India, the West
Indies and all over the world if
putting her in prison is the way
to bring western civilization to
Africa"

In Defense of Public
Hearings in the County

Ever since Walter Lippmanns great book the study
of public opinion of caution has been dscernabe
in of the gentlemen who have been prone support
their own beliefs by calling for the support public opinion
public opinion of one.
1t Mr.. Lppmann recall it, who first used the
phrase the phantom public by which he meant to illustrate
the faacy of imagining that the great body polite be
Jumped together in any scientific Rather of
there are many pubcs segments of the population
any issue in question.
All of this is by way of preamble to taking mild issue
with the implications of little discourse which Irving
c. Root delivered at the meeting of the County Council last
week.
The subject under discussion the much-debated and
tossedabout zonng ordinance for the UpCounty Mr. Root
who apparently, is his way to being hired of
panner to cut the Goran knot for the County, ventured
to give the County fathers words Of wisdom public
opinion.
He informed the Council that "what is said at public
hearings is not true measure of public opinion"
In sense, Mr.. Root is right Persons who attend a
specific public hearing specific subject usually form
OF the special pubcs first discovered by Mr. Lppmann Thus
the attendance at hearing the school budget apt to be
made up primarily of to whom the public schools
are OF paramount Importance those who attend Zonng
hearing are apt to be landowners and so
The great mass of the population until its paramount
interest touched upon is quite apt to be lacking in the
interest necessary to leave the easy chair of evening and
spend hours the all of the local school,
To this extent, public hearings always merely par
. tial reflections of public opinion.
Nevertheless and it at this point that we would like
to speak out in defense of the public hearings the zonng
matter in the absence other of public opinion
the hearings stand the sole of opinion
The SENTINEL has frequently thought that scientific
polling organization of repute and integrity would be great
boon to the County The idea is not far-fetched it
might Talented satistcans abound in the County
and certainly have enough public spirited citizens to take
the actual sample.
If we had the benefit of such an organization news
papers and public officials would have sounder guidance in
determining public sentiment than present Again. we
would like to make known willingness work with any
group in efforts to closer to public opinion

Opportunity Comes to
The Community of Opportunity

Wheaton is now witnessing experiencing would be
better word most interesting and challenging experiment
in what has to be known the Juvenile problem
Briefly, the factual background of this experiment is
this group of een-agerS themselves got the idea of
teen cubroom for dancing and light refreshments They
approached local merchant the proprietor of Candyland
and secured permission to part of the premises for
their meetings.
Beyond this, facts become few and become pent
full is always the when matter not faced openly
and fully and frankly.
1t seems, however that at least County police Off
approached with complaints the way which the
een-center functonng Noise to have been the
main complaint although minor misconduct the part of
the youngsters has also been mentioned
The opportunity it seems to us, is for the whole
community of Wheaton 1t has chance to take advantage
of and precious thing the initiative of the young
people themselves in calling into being something that they
want Too often oldsters try tell the youngsters what
we think and know is good for them. And then look
panied because these suggestions greeted with something
less than enthusiasm AS happens what the youngsters
have up with is not too far from what many adults
would prescribe namely place of their for whole
recreation.
To make the most of this opportunity, it to
the good people Of Wheaton might well the youngsters
Of their friendly interest in the teencener. Note: said
Interest" and not taking over.
The challenge is directed to the young people involved
1t is their idea is their creation If they want it to stay
that way and want it to - is up to the youngsters
themselves to regulate themselves That calls for maturity
but not too much maturity for persons in
the teens
Good luck to the Wheaton youth center. And more
power its adult well wshers Much more interest and par
ticpaton, too, incidentally.
