LEAVE 1T TO THE LADIES

LEAVE 1T TO THE LADIES
Gentlemen-There's a lot of hope
in the ladies'. Recently, | have had
the good fortune of seeing how
we'll two groups of ladies can use
three or four days each of conven-
ton time. l am looking at my notes
from New York City-Location Of
The Links tenth annual convention
and Cleveland, where recently, the
/ National Association of Fashion &
Accessory Designers met in their
ninth annual session.
Quite truthfully, fellows, really
don't need notes to review the
fine work of these ladies nor any
crystal ball to predict that they
mean business for the future. Now
in apology to many other wonder
full women's groups, the Greek-Let-
ter societies, National Association
of Colored Women, this year OBJ
serving a Golden Anniversary, to
name a few, let me say that the
ladies are downright sharp. We
take note.
The Links took over the Belmont
Plaza, for work and for pleasure.
With them they had their Con-
Meeting Links-the husbands, the
Bobbie- and- Bobby Links, yes, the
kids. There were about five hun
dred of the ladies, staying in the
sessions, while the rest Of the fami-
ly looked at Big Ole New York, and
as might be expected, there were
Missing Links, like the writer,
peeking and watching. l saw lot
of good things.
The ladies brought in Miss Ma
rian Anderson and gave to The
Philadelphia Lady citation NAM
ing her Goodwill Ambassador, "
gave up the hotel and went over to
hear DR.. Ralph Bunche tell about
the world in which he lives as a
top person in the United Nations,
and heard address by White Houser
Fred Morrow, one of likes able
assistants. The ladies were beau
tiful, happy and devotedly pu-su-
ing the conventions purpose.
One sometimes wonders what
really comes out Of these meetings.
It is Just a 1--WE met proposition :"
These Links are socially conscious
minded people. Ask some Of the
groups who have problems and

CHRIST is THE WAY
LIFT HIM UP

America needs what we haven't got
The love of God the father to guide
And stop his people from getting
in Gods house
Holding hands and trying to hide
The Lord has no place for the devil
to hide
He is an all seeking God for US all
He said if we be lifted up today
| will do all of the drawing when
you call.
We need more today to obey Gods
And lift his SOP up so high
That the devil conquer him nc
matter how far
When the saints go marching by
Gods houses are too full of make
believers
And never has been born again
Just two or three and a college cost
And heart clump full of sin.
The Lord gave to me a new heart
you see
For the old heart in an exchange
He did not ask for the brains at all
And did not envy ones name.
The one that knows all of the
letters
And never has been born again
Has got most all of the power YOU
sec
In the house of worship to begin.
When the Lord prepared a man
TO feed and serve his lambs
When he has finished his Word YOU
His soul will not be damned
Believe the word of God today
And lift up his Son Jesus Christ
He said if be lifted up today
| will do all of the drawing of life.
Unless we obey the word of God
Our souls are lost to start

about teaching children by "Precept

which included not only Honor

included also IGNORING all grown
folks anywhere in the neighbor-
hood which included any of them
living within a radius of eighteen
square miles, which was about all
you walked in them day on a
plum hunting trip" Over my fish
and beer | got to thinking about
how folks these days are worrying
about their offspring, including
Aunt Haggar's Chilluns' offspring,
as well as the offsprings of those
other folks who didn't need no
coloration in their skin because
they get started after things start
ed slowing down in Africa. In them
days what Pm talking about chill
dren started off talking with the
words Eyes, SIR" Eyes ma'am,"
please" and thank you," which
the Old Folks fixed up bearing
down a whole lot heavier on the
example" than on the "precept,"
which went like this. Let a kid
run up to the old folks, ask fcr
and grab a piece of bread without
doing it they'd rap him on the
knuckle and say put that bread
down, and say please" Let EN-
say please" and start running
off, they'd call 'em back, smack
'em upside the head and say, Now
say thank you" Let a kid say
NAV" and "Yea" to his mother
Or father, Or any older person, and
it would be all over the neighbour
hood that the child was going crazy
Especially amongst us kids that
is, after he had survived what the
Old Folks put on the back side in
them days with anything from a
rattan to wet rope. | remem-

Old Lady, had told Mama l walked

gallery and did not speak to her.
The days, I'm talking about the
days when folks raised George

Robert E. Lee, Richard Allen,

you about nom. Seventy-eight
chapters strong, the ladies added

The Links launched big project
for now until they meet at Chi
cago next year-the ladies are
going to conduct a talent search.
They feel that there is hidden tai
ent among our youth and they wish
to do something about It through
the opening of opportunities for de-
velopment of this untouched re-
source for the nation and the world.
Wish l could name the ladies. Just
conclude that the list is who's
Who
AS for the Fashion Designers,
they are who's Who," two. Ma
FAD got started in Mrs. Mary Be-
thune's Council House here in
Washington, With Mrs. jeanette
Welch doing the pushing as found
er of the group. The idea seems to
have been that the Negro woman
could design, was designing, and
as a consequence, had a place in
this great big industry, which has
no recession. The answer was the
National Association of Fashion
and Accessory Designers.
At Cleveland, l watched the la
dies display their wares and they
the items, were nothing short Of
wonderful. In Cleveland, the ladies
went to school, yet they are among
the best in their field. They had
the experts there, and guys, you
would have been just amazed had
you witnessed their productions at
the annual fashion show. Oh, yes,
there are men in the group, hat and
dress designers.
The NAFADers are not inter-
ested in combining learning to the
USA. Already they have toured
abroad and are planning another
trip next year on the tenth ami
versary of the organization. They
initiated the first national fashion
show and are the promoters of the
Best Dressed Bronze Woman Of the
Year event. They work to inn
prove the lady's looks and to enter
a big field Of industry. Certainly,
YOU can leave it to the ladies.

The World We Can Have
From The Christian Science Monitor

from The Christian Science Monitor
Americans learned, not just concerned with
concrete things They the unique people who have
enough hope and faith to turn ideals into reality
A Norwegian student thus summarized what she
had learned about Americans during her three-month
stay In the United States under the auspce sof the New
York Herald Trbune's international forum for high
school students
These students representing "a countries, grinned
and responded eagerly when questioned about things
they liked in America. "Ice cream kitchen gadgets WV
league pants instant mashed potatoes roc-and-rol rec
ords Thunderbrds they reported televison viewers
recently on the program THE World We Want"
Yet they valued more the new ideas they had ac-
quired and were taking back to their countries One
boy and suggested that the experience with the nterna
ona forum had made it's members more conciatory and
selfdenying in relation to each other Il can no longer
regard people in terms of nationality but in terms
of individual personality"
When students of diverse nationalties races and
creeds can exchange ideas and laughter and ntegenty
discard sterotypes glimpse the kind of world we can
have when mutual understanding is made the corner

Mrs. Armstrong told police that the
wounded youth who was shot in the
leg, was one of crowd who cursed
her and threw rocks at her house
when she got scared and shot into
the crowd.
According to the widely discus
sed report of the incident in direct
conflict with the statement of Mrs.
Armstrong, both witnesses among
the neighbors, and the youthful
victim, are reported rs saying the
shooting was done by an unnamed
White man.
The reports say further that the
frequent night visit of the I'M
named White man to the Arm
strong home during the past few
months had aroused reaction in the
neighborhood, particularly in the
upper teenage group of boys, and

tires on the automobile of the I'M

while parked near the Armstrong

VOCATE early this week that a
we'll known and highly respected
Negro Minister, seeking settle
ment of the case between the par
ties, had went with the youth and
Mrs. Armstrong to talk the matter
over with local Judge, who when
the youth and others in the group
asserted that he was shot by an I'M
named White man, told the group
that the case would have to be
presented to Grand Jury.

10 Take Over Huge Ranch Owned
for 81 Years by u. 5. Family

MEXICO CITY, Aug. % CUPID
Mexico has invoked a 41-year
old Constitutional provision to
take the $50, O00-acre Cananea
Ranch from the American family
which had owned it for 81 years.
An appropriation decree signed
July 81 by President Adolfo Ruiz
Confines was published yesterday,
when it appeared tlat the ranch's
owners would refuse a government
offer amounting to about 81 an
acre for the vast property strad-
ding the US. border.
William c. Greene Jr., son of the
founder of the Cananea empire,
was closeted last night with his
lawyers. He would not comment i'm.
mediately on the Mexican seizure
of the family property.
A presidential spokesman said
Ruiz had hoped that the Cananea
property could be obtained for
Mexico by purchase. Observers be-

ed to take over the property in

N D~ICTATORSHIPS

The Government of the United States, for reasons Of
its great moral and political influence, and because OF its
eminently democratic structure, has the duty to stimulate
the functOning of democratic regimes in all the countries
of the world and, in particular, those in the Americas, to
which this great North American nation is linked by null
tiple bonds, among them the very valuable and significant
one of the Inter American System.
When the Government of Washington has not done
what is expected OF it to encourage continental democracy,
or when it has been lenient with Latin American dictator
peoples of the continent have criticised that attitude,
because they consider it incompatible with the traditions
of freedom of this nation.
For the same reasons, the peoples of the continent
should criticise also the Latin American governments which
have done nothing positive to encourage the existence Of
democracy in other nations, or that have been more or
less SOLITARY or too lenient with dictatOrial regimes.
1t is evident that, for obvious reasons, the United States
Is in q position to favor more democratic movements on
it is not the politically moral obligation of the democratic
regimes in Latin America to make individual and collective
efforts to raise the standard of repubfcanism in our
America.
There are some Latin American governments, which
figure in the line of democratic conduct, which have done
nothing, or very little, towards encouraging the develop
ment of democratic institutions in the other countries of
nothing, but have, in some eases, adopted a certain type of
neutrality which is practically beneficial to the deSpOtic
regimes, whose existence is a violation of the ideal which
gives life to the Inter American System.
In the conscience of the free peoples of the continent
there is much condemnation of those Latin American gov.
ernments, because they, within the great organization of
Hemisphere democracy, should act in q manner which
would positively favor the prestige and functiOning of the
Republic in each and every one of the American States.
The Latin American governments, like the Washington
government, have the moral duty to give democracy inter.
national protection.

.RIT Accuses the
United Fruit Of
Anti-Lubor Acts

MEXICO CITY The
Regional Inter American Labor
Organization (ORD charged that
the United Fruit Company's sub
salaries in Central America do
everything possible to weaken the
genuine labor movement"
The ORIl is an anti-commun-
list labor group which maintains
friendly relations with the ALL
CLIO in the United States. Its
charge was made replying to as
Sertions made in a book published
recently by the National Planning
Association of the United States.
In the book, entitled '"The Case
Study of the United Fruit Com
pany In Latin America" written
by Stacy May and Gallo Plaza, it
was stated hat the fruit company
recognizes the free labor unions
and maintains friendly relations
with them"
"The truth is, however, the OR
1T statementsaid, that the Unit
ed Fruit Company and its subsidia-
ries in Latin America do every
thing possible to weaken the gen.
uine labor movement, resorting for
that purpose to all kinds of disloy-
al practices, ranging from classic
al p~aternalism to the encourage
ment of communist groups who
organize pseudo-unions to rival the
legitimate unions affiliated to the
ORIT."

the heirs made this impossible"
the spokesman said.
The appropriation decree directs
the Finance Department to set a
value on the Cananea land and to
pay it Immediately in cash to the
person or persons showing a right
to it."
1t provides that the Agriculture
Department shall take over the
land and break it up into small
ranches and farms ito satisfy the
needs of landless peasants in So
nora State"
There have been persistent re-
ports, however, that a syndicate
of Mexican politicians and finan-
ciers would take over the ranch,
maintaining it intact.
The newspaper Excelsior, COM
menting on these reports, said
this week that political demago-
query and acquisition of the land
by a band of financial pals" must
not be allowed to defeat land-re-
form laws.
The Cananea Ranch was founded
in 1901 by the late Col. William c.
Greene. He acquired a tract of
land extending along both sides
of the border between Mexico and
Arizona from Douglas almost to
NogaleS
Only the Mexican acreage is af-
fected by the appropriation order.
The land is semi-arid, disable for
the most part only as cattle range.
The Greenes now have about 81
900 beef cattle on the Mexican
side of the line.
The Constitution of 1917 forbade
foreigners to own land within 81
miles of the border. Ruiz acted
under this clause in ordering ex-
preparation of the land, although
