CALIFORNIA NEGROES
BACK STEVENSON

Returns from the June 5th
Democratic primary in Califor-
MIA indicate that Adlai E. Stew
enSon scored an impressive vic
tory over his rival, Tennessee
Senator Estes Kefauver, in the
various Negro areas in the state.
The former Illinois Governor
and leading candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomi-
nation won by margins as high
as 20-1 in the predominantly
Negro Fillmore district Of San
Francisco. In Los Angeles, his
overall average among Negro
voters ran close to seventy per
cent. The same pattern held
in other areas of the state, such
as San Diego, Oakland and
Fresno, and added strength to
the total that gave Stevenson
all of California's 68 delegate
votes.
In New York, Mrs. Louis Irish,
Co-Chairman of the Upper Man
haitian Stevenson for President
Committee, hailed the victory as
demonstrating conclusively that
Adlai Stevenson is the only
Democratic candidate who COM
mands. the allegiance and sup
port of Negro voters. His out
standing record and position on
Civil Rights" she added, "gave
him his victory in the Negro
and labor areas of California"
Continuing, Mrs Irish said that
Negro delegates pledged to Ste
venSon from Washington, D. Co.
California, Illinois, Pennsylvania
and other states would "play
an important role at the Dem
ocratic Party Convention in
Chicago in August and help to
lead the party and country to
Stevenson and victory in 1867.

A SACK OF GROCERIES

Just how good were the good
days of some so years ago, when
prices were much lower for prac-
tically everything than they are
now?
The Sun, of Saratoga, Wyom-
ing, has something interesting
to say in this regard. Back in
the '90S, round steak sold for IL
cents a pound, butter for a.
quarter, and a loaf of bread
went for a nickel. The cost of
the grocery order which came
to IS cents then would be about
So. SO today.
So it looks as if we were TAX
ing a fearful beating, price
wise. However, as the Sun points
out, there is another side to the
coin - earning power. Govern
ment figures show that a work.
er who averaged 16 cents an
hour in the '90S averaged $1.88
last year. So, to quote the Sun
directly, "The factory worker
who bought the list of staples
in the 1905 would have worked
about hours and 20 minutes
for the money it took to pay the
bill. Today he can earn enough
for the same sack of groceries
in about an hour and a half"
The situation would be gen.
orally the same in the case Of
goods other than foods. Many
causes have contributed to this
great increase in purchasing
power. One of the important
ones has been the change within
retailing itself. Mass diStribu-
tion-based on big turnover at
a very small unit profit-was
unknown in the '90s. The per-
centage of profit on each trans
action was far higher then. To-
day the food chain commonly
earn as little as one cent net
on each dollar of sales; other
store also earn very modest
profits. That helps the family
budget enormously.

LETTER TO The EDITOR
WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM
w. w. z VETS

To the Editor of The Sun:
am trying to renew old &C
quaintances of some of the for
mer &C. rs. who frequented some
of the American Red Cross Clubs
overseas during World War two
and also the Special Services
Clubs in occupied Germany. 1
am a former club director sta
toned on the Island of Corsica,
France and Italy, later in
North Germany and down in
Bavaria at Roth. There were so
many men stationed throughout
Europe who frequented these
clubs at one time or another
that I can scarcely recall all
their names and various out
fits, yet I would like to contact
them through your paper for
the sake of the lasting friend
ships we made while trying to
tighten their off hours in our
recreational programming.
These men served their Of
ficerS we'll. They served their
countries to their greatest ca
pacity and helped to carry out
the principle of our American
obligations to the rest of the
free world which they repre-
sented and for which many Of
them gave their lives. We in
the Red Cross and in Special
Services often acted as big Sis
ter mother and pal, while listen
ing to their problems or read
ing a Dear John" letter from
thee States. Many were the
times when we heard stories
that were far from being what
we thought could be conductive
to good morale. Many instances
presented themselves wherein
our efforts on their behalf re-
suited in a happier existence
for the armed forces. In all we
were over there together and
proud of our men in uniform.
I would appreciate it deeply
if you would publish this letter
in your paper so I can hear from
those who may still remember
their former Aemrican Red Cross
Club Director.
Fondly yours,
Alice B. Shaw.

The school held its fourth eval-
uation practicum at 3:05 Tuesday
afternoon in the classroom of Mr..
James Williams with the consul
tant, DR. Julia Haven from the
University of Miami. DIR. Haven
divided the members of the class
into two parallel groups to work
out problems that are confronting
us. The groups decided to work
on the curriculum. One group is
working on language arts (read-
ing, speaking and hstening) the
other group is working on gram
mar, spelling and writing. Every
one enjoyed DR.. Haven'S discus
sion.
Friday, Nov. 80, was planning
day. The faculty met at 8 o'clock
in Mr.. Williams classroom to
make plans for the remaining
school year. Mrs. Valdez Murray
and Mrs. Dora Wright (the school
song committee) decided that all
classes will participate in writ
ing a school song. The class pre-
.senting the best song will be Civ
en- a prize. The teachers also got
together for 80 minutes to plan
for the next evaluation practcum.
During the lunch time, Mrs.
BriSbon, our dietician, served in
the cafeteria delicious barbecue
ribs, candied yamS, hot rolls, vege-
table salad, hot coffee and apple
pie.
After lunch, the faculty went
over to the new school. Rooms

The new display boards in our
corridors afford all of US the OPP
portunity of enjoying the very
creditable work OF art done by
pupils. We should certainly like
more of our parents to enjoy this
with us.
Among the outstanding events
of our Teacher Planning Day was
the talk and demonstration pre-
Sented by Clifford Mitchell, di-
rector of the Dade County Span
ish program. Our community has
become so largely populated by
people from Latin-America that
it is becoming necessary for us to
speak their language. Parents you
nave the opportunity of learning
along with your children. We
again wish to remind you of the
Spanish lessons presented each
Tuesday and Thursday nights
over channel 2 on your television.
Our sympathy is extended to
Donald Hyler on the serious ILL
ness of his mother.
Friends and former students of
Miss E. c. Thomas may wish to
remember her on her birthday,

PERSONAL TO PARENTS
Dear PARENTS
The most important event in
the life of a child is Christmas.
AS early as it is, the youngsters
are beginning to become greatly
excited over the approaching hol-
iday.
We feel that now is the time to
begin having them know the real
meaning of Christmas, that it is
a time for more than just receiv-
ing gifts. We feel also that the
great sacrifices some of you make
to crafty their wishes for toys
and the non-essential should re-
ceive careful explanation and
consideration in favor of the
things they need. Even toys should
have some educational value.
Placing value on the important
things of life is a lesson so badly
needed and should start very ear
ly in your child's life.
