Our Problems
Know No Race

To The Christian Science Monitor.
Has the right to progress been
denied the Negro race? What do
they want. Equal opportunities
with the whites? Ia the Pentagon
l saw Negro supervisors in some
of the offices with whites work
ing under their supervision.
Better wages in the South? /

south-Florida. True the Negro
dishwasher received only s1.I5

cents an hour more and had to

Better housing7 Many times /
drove through the Negro residen-
tial section Of st. Petersburg;
there were well-kept homes and
badly kept homes, the same as In
many white districts. Some had
shrubbery and flowers, painted
houses; some showed lack of am
bition, the same as in many white
districts.
Some very brilliant Negro peo-
pie have come out of segregated
schools to win the respect and
ambition of the white race.
I am white but I have not had
the educational advantages Of
many Negroes. I never finished
the sixth grade in school. Shall
I say this because my skin Is
white.
Not all white people are well
housed; not all white people are
well educated: not all white PEG
pies incomes are in the top brack
ct but are In the low-income
bracket. Many white people have
to have public assistance. In short
the white race has the same trou-

SOUTH NOT LIKELY
TO ADOPT CIVIL RIGHTS
ON OWN INITIATIVE

New York amp The late DR..
Charles 8. Johnson, president Of
Fisk University, said In a copy
righted magazine article that
Southern Negroes do not seriously
expect much change in their civil
rights status II white southerners
are permitted 10 work out the
present racial crisis in their own
way.
Writing in the New York Times
Magazine, the noted sociologist
declared that the most significant
improvements In southern Negro
status have come as result Of
federal insistcnce and world opin-
ion
johnson wrote that state gov
emments In the South are domin-
ated by rural Legislators whose
overall attitude Is "anti labor,
anti-capital, auti-race, anu-liberal,
anti-ciwl rights anti-education,
auti-intellectual anti-technology,
anti-federal government"
IT ~ a tragic pity" he wrote
that while the rest Of the world
Is giving new attention and re-
spect 10 basic human rights, every
device from subversion OF law 10
violence is being employed 10 de-
feat the Constitution, and with
such frantic desperation that no
voice Of stern national statesman
ship dare defy without apology |
and compromise, this organized |
retreat from freedom to tyranny |
and feudallsm."
The middle-of-the-road philoso-
ply that seems 10 dominate much
Of the nations thinking in matters
pertaining to race is due 10 a con-
fusion OF the moral imperatives,"
according 10 the johnson article
The arguments being advanced
In defense OF the southern way Of
life" are "illusory' and reckless"
and completely ignore the views Of
Negroes This, DIR, John
son states, is part OF the southern
way"
He cited as an example efforts
70 discredit Indignation by prov

children. 1T is a tortuous logic

Or. johnson observes, in this
connection that in the compre-
henslve intelligence tests for army
recruits, Negro recruits from
Ohio, where better schools are a.
scored higher than white
recruits from every state Of the
South except Florida, where there
has been an appreciate northern
He concludes with the observa-
ton that this is not basically a
struggle between whites and Ne
groes, or the North and the
South, or between the national and
international points OF view, but

do not.

As long as mortals have the

IS long as conscience has a stain
The prayers Of men win be in vain
So humbly Lord. we as Of Thee
That prncely gift, Sincerity,
That we may use IL through
life's span
TO build on earth a better man.
And should we crave for gifts
more royal,
Please make us. God, a bit more
loyal,
That we may give TO those we
serve,
A measure fun as they deserve.
To make US rich with eager zest
To give our work our very best,
TO know the wheat, repect the
chaff
To have the strength to sand the
gait.

To keep our hearts both young
and clean.

Don't LET Your
Feet Kill You;
Whuf To Do

The age old my feet are killing
me" complaint has been repeated
thousands Of times and no wonder!
A bulletin from the Minnesota
State Medical association reports
that ever so per cent of the popu-
lation suffers from foot ailments
Of various kinds. Unfortunately,
anyone with tired, aching feet
feels tired and aching all over. The
familiar symptoms are sagging
posture, listlessness, a bedraggled
look and a resulting wretched dis
position. However, it is not neces-
sary to suffer. Most infants are
free of foot defects at birth, it is
only later that their troubles are
caused by improperly fitted shoes
and poor foot hygiene.
Correct Shoes Important
Correct shoe fit is vital, especi-
ally for children, whose pliable
bones can readily be nodded to fit
the shoe when the shoe doesn't fit
the foot Besides conforming to the
natural shape of the foot, shoes
should be the correct length and
width; too tight shoes interfere
with circulation and cause cal
luses; too-loose ones may slip on
the feet and cause blsters. II is
wise to check children's shoes for
size about every six weeks.
Correct Fit OF Stockings
Correct fit Of stockings is inn
portant too. They should neither
bind the toes nor be so loose that
they wrinkle. Ideally shoes should
not be worn two days in a row
and always use a shoe horn to pre-
vent the breaking down of the
counter. Extremely high heels
worn constantly force the foot for
ward and upset the body balance.
Because feet perspire constant
ly, II Is wise to have shoes made
of porous, absorbent material
which allows the moisture to es-
cape all-leather shoes, for ex-
ample, which have not been made
weatherproof and alright or crepe
soled shoes with well-ventilated
tops.
Foot Hygiene
As for foot hygiene, feet should
be washed daily, scrubbed with a
soft brush to remove dead skin,
massaged with a cream TO relax
the muscles and dried thoroughly.
A foot powder prescribed by your
doctor discourages athletes foot.
Toenails should be cut straight
across to prevent ingrown nails.
Never trim corns and calluses
yourself as infection can result
too easily.
Extra Care Pays OFF
A little extra care pays off, too!
Exercise foot muscles by wiggling
your toes; when walking, keep
your toes pointed ahead, and come
down on your heels; shift weight
smoothly TO the forward foot and
push off again with your toes, It's
fun to go walking when your feet
don't hurt they needn't with
proper daily foot care.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1956-12-28

to be a good idea while those who
get the dement's think il a very
unfair system. At any rate, you
can have a mental slate in your
mind.
Keep track Of the things you
say and do that you wish you had
left undone But always do the
very best you can, then when the
old year goes out, count your de-
merits, wipe the slate clean and
see II you can get fewer dement's
the next year. No one will be per-
feet, but IL you watch your
thoughts and deeds you win GER
tainly become a better person than
you are at present
Now, you have wiped the slate
clean and beginning with the New
Year, let us try TO forget every
thought that has caused us TO be
unhappy or worried II won't be
easy, but II can be done.
Start the New Year by looking
at yourself. Try TO see II you can
improve your disposition; try talk
ing less about friends: try going
TO the church OF your choice and
instead Of finding fault with those
who are doing the best they can.
SHOW them how certain things
should be done and put you know
ledge 10 good use II will be APP
preciated IL offered in the right
way.
Try doing your best on your
job, Work cheerfully. don't
grumble so much, Believe Il or not
the boss knows and sees. even
though you think he doesn't That
is why men are being promoted
over you.
Try making some one less for
tunate than yourself happy. See
ing the happy face will more than
repay you for the time and money
you spent on a toy or a movie for
a lonesome child.
Life is so short at best, make
the most OF It as you go along
You win be happier knowing you
have done the best you can. That
is all that is required OF US do
ing our best at all times.
