1T CAN HAPPEN
HERE
BY EDWARD r, GRAHAM

That great pioneer of Negro
education, Booker T. Washing
ton, speaking particularly of the
Southern White man, said "You
cannot yourself rise while you are
holding your black brother down
in the ditch" The painful truth
about this is, you cannot rise
while YOU are holding anybody
down. The lesson which DR..
Washington leaves on the hearts
of all of us is, Why Not All of
us Rise Together?
Presently ON Miami Beach,
strikes are going on at certain
hotels simply because the owners
of these hotels refuse to arbi-
trate with the workers. Now, the
right of groups to band them
selves into guilds, leagues and
unions, is inherent in the laws of
this great country of ours. Tn,
hotel owners have protective
associations" why not the
workers? There could be only one
reason why the boss does not
want you TO organize. He wants
to be the 'fboSS" and this includes
how much you are paid. Much
has been said about the right
work. This is every mans right.
So is the right to live. The great
question is, How? Patrick Hen
ry knew this when he said, 81
know not what course others may
take but as for me, give me liberty
or give me death"
The sad news come to us that
Negroes have been crossing the
picket lines. What does he hope
TO gain? The answer is nothing"
except that he is holding himself
and his white brother down. We
have even learned that one Ne
gro is going around gathering
Negro "Scabs" to break the
strike. And if they do the Negro
will be thrown out in less than
fortnight. So why not get smart
and let labor, both White and
Negro, work out better condi-
tons for all workers, including
better pay as well?
The history of trade unionism
in this country is replete with the
many areas of uplift won by la
Dor and management sitting down
together and working out equit-
aole and satisfactory agreements.
Is il any different here from
other places where this sort of
thing has been done. There were
others who thought that they
could win by crossing picket lines.
Result? Poor wages and poor
working conditions. AND RE.

according to Rose Ellwood Bryan.
State College extension specialist
in food conservation, it's time now
to prepare for the 1855 garden and
food conservation season.
Plan now your garden with the
whole family. and make a food
plan for the year figuring just
what part of your foods dollar will
go toward home grown foods.
According to State College horti-
culturiStS. now is a good time to
start cabbage. lettuce and broc-
coli from seed if you didn't do
this last October or November
You can start your seed in indivi-
dual containers - paper cups. oat
meal boxes and milk cartons with
the top half removed. Plant several
seeds in each container and thin
to one plant when the plants are
an men or SO nigh. A sunny WIN
dow is a good place for few
plants. HotbeGs or clodframes. of
course, are better. Tomato plants
may also be started this way in
February and March Youll have
to keep tomato plants in the VIM
dow or in a hotbed for some time
since they won't stand cold wealth
er.
According 70 State College spe-
ciahstS, your garden will not only
add from $500 to $500 each year
to your income. but what's even
more important, it contributes to
the health Of your family because
it furnishes them with fresh vege-
tables and fruits that contain
many valuable vitamins and min
erals.
