ton of officers last August 18th.
A very fine program was carried
out with Comrade Elmer Quinn
from Melting Pot Post No. 312 A

impressive and was carried out
with solemn dignity. At the con-
clusion of the ceremonies a tempt

The severe hot weather may
hamper the all out cooperation of

them and if you can't go out,
please send them a kindly get well

Legal Defense Fund
For Money Now!

Last year when the U. S. SUI
preme Court decided that racial
segregation in public education vi
olated the Constitution, Negroes
throughout the country were
elated.
Few realized that this decision
came about only after years and
years Of hard work by many, in
Guiding large groups of volunteer
lawyers and social SCIENTISTS.
Few realized the several hundred
thousands spent IN expenses in
these cases.
Hardly anyone ever paused to
consider the threats and intimida-
tons against the parents of the
school children involved. Most
Americans simply took all Of this
for granted.
Now, after the last decision il
these cases, the deep South is a.
gain showing its hand.
At least two Negroes in Missis-
sippi have been killed for insist
ing on the right to vote.
White Citizens Councils are
! cropping up all over the South, de-
termined to destroy all economic
advantages for Negroes.
Governors and attorneys general
have said repeatedly that they will
litigate this matter for fifty or a
hundred years.
Louisiana has appropriated
100000 to resist court actions in
that state. Other states have as
signed six to fifty lawyers to op
pose cases in their states. Negro
teachers are being inundated and
discharged.
You have read about these and
other challenges in your own news
papers. You have felt sorry for
these people. You are sure that
the NAACP will meet these ever
increasing challenges.
Again, you are taking it as a
matter of course because the MA
ACP has never let you down.
l have news for you: We win
not be able to meet these chal-
lenges unless we get the money to
do it.
We have always had difficulty
meeting our regular budgets. We
cannot meet this heavily financed
new assault unless you stop taking
us for granted and dig deep into
your pockets-and do it nowl

Ga. Rescinds
Teacher
Purge

New York - T he NAACP took
favorable note last week of the
action of the Georgia State Board
of Education earlier in the week
resembling resolutions aimed at
teachers who belong to the MA
CP or who in any way approve of
school indignation.
The education boards move was
described by Gloster B. Current,
NAACP director of branches, as
"a major victory for the Georgia
NAACP State Conference and
other citizens in Georgia who open
ly opposed the Board of Educa-
TONS ridiculous action"
In a letter to w. w. Law, acting
president of the Georgia State
NAACP, Mr.. Current asserted:
"The backing down on the part
of the Board, and especially on
the part of Attorney General Eu-
gene Cook, upon whose advice the
Board acted in the first place, is
an outgrowth of the adverse pub
lie reaction engendered by the
Boards misguided attempt to de-
prive Negro teachers of their live
lihood simply because they support
the NAACP'S effort to uphold the
Constitution of the United States.
Gas a result of the thoughtless
and crude attempts of opposition
leaders to brighten and intimidate
Negroes into forsaking the NAA
CP. our program is gaining wide
support in the South. We are en-
couraged by the fact that many
church leaders such as Bishop
Randolph R. Claiborne, Jr., Pro-
testant Episcopal Bishop for North
Georgia, spoke out against the
Board and in support of compli-
ance with the decisions of the Su-
preme Court.

Readers Digest Cites The
Progress OF The Negro Race

Pleasantville, N. Y. - In less
than a generation, Negroes have
marched farther toward full par
ticipation in American life than
in all of the past, says Albert Q.
Maisel in the September Readers
Digest.
Appraising Negro progress in
industry, Maisel notes that in the
South as well as the North, more
and more Negroes are finding
skilled jobs. For example, Lock
heed Aircraft today has 1000 skill
ed Negro workers in its Marietta,
Georgia plant alone.
In 1880 there were fewer than
100000 Negro trade-union mem
bers. Currently there r almost
two million, and a growing number
of Negroes have risen to posts OF
union leadership. In 1914 the
telephone industry hired its first
Negro clerks and switchboard OPP
orators. Today it has more than
10000. Big-city banks and de-
partment stores, formerly employ
ing Negroes only as janitors, now
have many as clerks, stenOgraph-
ers. tellers and accountants.
The Negroes wages have increas-
ed to more than four times their
1910 level, the article states. This
new prosperity has created a vast
new market with a purchasing
power Of SIC billion a year.
Full indignation is now the rule
in the Armed Forces. Among the
nearly 5000 Negro officers is Brig.
Gen. Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., of the
Air Force.
Similar advances are evident in
education. In 1882 only 1000 stu
dents attended Negro colleges,
with possibly 1000 more Negroes
in unsegregated colleges of the
North. BY 1947, Negro-college en-
rollment had climbed above
10000; Negroes in other colleges
numbered $4,000. Since then,
many more institutions have open
ed their doors.
'The walls of prejudice are tum-
bling down." Maisel says, ''in the
effort to make the American
dream of equality come true for
all men"

Share Your Wisdom
BY DR.. THOMAS r. GAINES

NEW YORK - (Global) - If
weakness was Gods intention for
men, there would be less sunlight,
less fresh air, less natural food
and less vital force in the world.
But strength for you and every
human being is undoubtedly Gods
plan. Never be content when as
sailed by weakness. Realize weak
ness is unnatural. Years ago,
people believed the world was
flat and they unhesitatingly &C
cepted as being true such an err
roneous conclusion. Make a men
tai picture of yourself every day
seeing yourself dynamic, strong
young. Think of yourself as a
channel through which strength
is intended to flow.
