Alabama history, according to the

Aaron, of the world champion Mil
waukee Braves, came third, topping
the Tuskegee sage, Booker T..
Washington, who was fourth. An
other baseball star, Willie Mays,
was fifth while ex-heavyweight
champion Joe Louis was sixth.

Mr.. Washington, like Carver was
born elsewhere, but spent most Of
his life at Tuskegee; Mays was
born in Fairfield, Ala.
These were tie results of a poll
of some 1875 high schools taken
by Prof. w. H. Coston, principal
of the demonstration high school
of Alabama State College. This
study was conducted in connection
with the convention of the Asso-

Life and History, held here this
month.

Prof. Coston said, reveals that

Precise In Promise.Keepine"

Far too much of the trouble in the world today is
due to the fact that promsekeepng has gone out of
fashion: Whether it be the international situation

plies to every crisis with which we are confronted
We seem to have forgotten the old adage that debts
of honor debts that must be paid in full AS long
as promise is not couched in legal phraseology and
made binding by the courts treat it far too lightly
Seekers after votes and favors have given promises
too careessy and too freely, thinking that when the
time they could get out of fulfilling their share of
the bargain We equally guilty, have in turn accepted
promises at their face value that had thought about
it, would have known the givers had intention of
keeplng-and that were unenforceabe.
1t takes two to make contract - but it also needs
two to keep it. No matter how trivial the matter with
which it deals we must keep faith with pledged
woodland to it that the other side does the same
He who seeks equity must do equity He must come
into court before the bar of public opinion with clean
hands.
We cannot expect others to honor what we do not

sona lives and in our personal business dealings it will

The is true on the international scene Once
we keep every promise make-whether that promise
be in the nature of charity of threat then we make
ourselves secure. Because those opposing will know
that, hell or high water we keen our word-and
that we expect and demand the same from others
If we do that Ourseves-if we demand of those with
whom we DEAL with those who represent in all coun-
cs whether of union state nation-that they keep
their promises only then can establish firm and
safe foundation for peaceful and prosperous world
But-we must begin with ourselves, guarding our

Negro Vote
Continued from Page One)

Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tons in a report prepared for sub
mission to the federation's second
constitutional convention, opening
here Thursday.
Labor's high command said "the
explosive reaction of minority
groups to the current controversy
over civil rights" had created a
major headache for union political
action drives.
Concern Called Just
The federation acknowledged
that the concern of Negroes over
the issue was proper and just"
but it warned of tendency among
Negro voters to "adopt a single
and all-inclusive standard of po-
litical judgment"
"Other vital questions of ma
tional policy are minimized and
past performances forgotten" the
report said. Understandable re-
sentiment is directed at friends as
well as foes as revenge enters the
political field as an issue.
UNLESS action is taken by the
labor movement to restore per-
spective to the situation, there is
danger that many of our friends,
and friends of the minority groups
representing northern states, will
be victims of this feeling in 1858"
The council said that the Com
mittee on Political Education, the
federation's political arm, was al
ready at work on a program in
tended to "reaffirm and cement
the relationship between minority
groups and the labor movement"
Qualification was expressed at
labor's showing in last months
state and local elections. The re-
election of Gov. Robert B. Meyner,
Democrat of New Jersey, by a
margin of 100000 votes was seen
as a particular rebuke to forces
seeking to use Senate revelations
of union racketeering as a device
for undertaking IAN all-out-attack
upon labor"
Unorganized Cited
On the organizing front, the re-
port estimated that the "real po-
tentiaP of unorganized workers
for the $4,000, 000-member fedora
ton totaled $4,000, 900. Half of
these are in white-collar jobs. An
other 100000 are in the South,
where the battle over Indignation
has made the slow task of over
coming community resistance to
unionization even slower.
Despite this handicap and the
hostility generated by the Senate
inquiry on unlawful labor prac-
tees, the council expressed conf
dence that labor was Gin better po-
sition to bring the benefits of trade
unionism to these yet unorganized
workers than at any previous
time"
However, it conceded there was
little hope for breaking the pres
ent stalemate unless jurisdictional
hows between rival unions were
settled and labor overhauled its
recruiting techniques to bring them
into line with 'today's situation
and today's needs"

Are you trusting my Heavenly
Father today
The world is full of her pleasure
today
And leading thousands of souls a.

We have got to separate from
sin
To be able to save souls for Christ
AS long as we give over to wrong
We are not living a Christian life.
III
Gods house is to worship in
The Church is in the heart
We have to except what Christ
has said
A new heart for the old part.
w
So why not be sure to get
understanding
Gods word is as plain as day light
If you will only obey the will of
God
Your life will measure up alright.
v
Stop obeying the will of the man
And obey tie will of God the
Father on high
Then you will be able to stand the
test
When you are ready to die.
VI
No one can live here all of his
life wrong
And tell me he can die right
You have got to accept the love of
God
While it is broad day and not night.
VII
Day is that eternal life we are told
Where it is always day and no
night
Gods house is a place to worship
him in
No place to anger and fight.
VIII
You saw YOU know the letter today
Know how to figure and write
Yet you don't know God in the
departing of your sins
Do you believe you can make it
in alright?
l want you all to obey Gods will
He is calling for the pure and
heart
In the house of worship can we
find it
I am afraid it is going too hard.

MY people we must obey Gods will
And respect the laws of our land
It's the only way to have peace in
the world
Because it is out of the reach of
this man.
