MAKE SURE YOU ARE COUNTED
(Mrs. Ria Potter

Beginning April |, the United States
for the 18th time since 1890. will
conduct a detailed census as required
by the constitution.
1t has been ten years since America
has taken national census. During This
time the country has changed at the
most rapid pace in history. The 1860
census will give complete and accu-
rate picture of what has been happen
ing in the United States.
Advance census report forms will
be mailed to householders the latter
part Of March. The form will ask the
householder to answer these questions:
name, address, sex, color or race.
month and year of birth, marital
status and relationship to the head of
the household. The census agents
will pick up the filled in forms. Every
fourth house visited by the census
agent, an additional form, census
household QUESTIONABLE will be left.
This form the householder will be
asked to report more detailed informa-
ton about the members of the house
hold, and about the dwelling unit
Report includes state or county OF
birth, mother tongue, school atten-
dance, educational attainment, income.
occupation, place of work. means of
transportation to work. and equipment
facilities and appliances in dwelling.
Householder will be asked to mail this
form promptly to the local census
district office when filled in. There
will be 400 such offices, each headed
by district supervisor.
Attempt will be made to include
everyone in the Country. On March
81, there will be special transient
survey of hotels and motels. In
addition to this there will be special
mission night counts, counts of gospel
missions, hobo camps, flop houses and
other places likely to house persons
of no permanent address.
The first direct result of the 1860
census will be a re-shuffling among
the so states of the ABS seats assigned
on the basis of population in the
house of representatives. The growth

makeup of the house.
Census figures have direct bearing
in many other fields, such as govern
ment planning for roads, schools,
. hospitals, and other public services.
, which is affected by census figures.
Millions of people and thousands of
organizations besides the government
use the census bureau statistics. So
extensive is their use that it affects
the lives of every person in the
country. Facts about the people, the
houses they live in, the government
that protects them, the industries that
employ them, the business that serve
them, are collected and distributed by
the bureau of the census.
The census will be one of the
Nations vital tools for quick and
accurate planning of new and improv-
ed facilities for education, medicine,
Silence, housing transportation, defense
and for keeping the United States
strong and alert. 1t will pay every
person as citizen and a worker to
stand up and be counted with all his
fellow citizens when the census agent
comes to your house.
THE NEGRO AND POLITICS
NEW YORK-The great mlgra-
ton of Negroes to the North, one OF
the most significant events OF the
past 20 years, has had its most pro-
nounced impact in the area of politics.
lanes O. Wilson said today in HE
REPORTER.
In a copyrighted article, How the
Northern Negro Uses His Vote MI
Wilson points out that in certain
political quarters, when the 1861
Department of Commerce decennlal
census is published, 1.-The first page
to which many will turn will be that

ton of Northern cities"
In this new census, according 10
Wilson, some cities may tlnd their
Negro population amounting to more
than half the total. He cites Washing
ton. DC. as an example, adding that
this will increase resistance from
Southern Congressional leaders 10
home rule for Washington.
The exact size of the Negro popuia-
ton is now a matter of conjecture IN
the political wards of many cities.
This new census will present hard
facts with which the Negroes can
demonstrate their numerical strength,
giving sound basis for renewed
efforts by Negroes to assert their
claims to political representation

EDITORIAL
FRANCES WALTERS SPEAKING
on The Negroes Behavior


Walters speaking. l promised last
week that l would give you a factual
report on the Negro situation created
by the student revolt in the southern
states, and which is now spreading to
the north, with hundreds of white
students joining in.
1t is important first to say that the
word revolt" is used in one of its
dictionary definitions: TO turn away
in involuntary mental rebellion or
utter disgust or adherence" from
regulations enforced by laws which
the persons concerned believed were
contrary to Article One of the Con-
stitution of the United States.
The revolt" then, has been peace
full one and has had two phases: one,
a sit down" of students at lunch
counters in stores which would serve
them at other departments but not
for meals; two, professions of persons
through the streets of southern towns,
carrying banners but otherwise silent,
and certainly unarmed. The only
incidents SO far have been provoked
by whites. Until now, the revolt has
followed the principles of the non
violence campaigns instituted by
sMahatma Ghandi against British rule
in India, which had as their result
Indian independence.
In the South, as in India petty local
officials lost their heads in the face
of unarmed protest. They invoked
state laws and arrested hundreds of
participants Now 800 lawyers assem-
bled in Washington. DC, have said
that these laws constitute a violation
of the fourteenth amendment to the
constitution, which guarantees the
right of free assembly.
Underlying all of these protests,
which have now become the dominant
news of the day TIME said SO last
week.. is the simple and understand
able desire of the Negro to be ac-
copied as a citizen of the land IN
which ne was born and raised
At present the term citizenship,
SO far as the Negro is concerned, is
defined as follows:
(a) He can be forced to fight for
his country;
(b) He can be forced TO pay taxes;
Co But in certain southern states
he cannot have any of the priv
legeS of citizenship; He must
not vote, he cannot be educated
except in segregated schools; he
cannot be allowed 10 sit with
his fellow citizens or to eat with
them, if they happen to have
lighter skin than his own.
What is happening has a rather
tremendous significance which has not
at least to my knowledge, yet been
caught by editorial writers or COM
mentatOrS.
This is that for the first time the
educated young Negro is taking a
hand in his future.
Nearly all the movements aimed at
the Improvement" of the Negro race
were begun and financed by white
people. The NAACP is no exception.
1t is only in the last twenty years that
the NAACP has become predoml-
nantly Negro organization.
But now, the Negro himself speaks
And not just the Negro, but the
YOUNG Negro. the man in our
colleges who is qualifying himself as
a lawyer or doctor and who knows
there is no hope for him in a white
world; the woman who is in college

Thirty known dead, five more
believed to be buried in the

injured that they may not live
was the reckoning made in the
fire which swept the four-story
factory building at 216-218 High
Street, Newark, N. ]. Sadie Han
son of 20 Stone street, was
cleaning carbon filaments for in
cadescent electric lights in the
shop of the Anchar Lamp Com
pany, on the third floor. This is
a process in making the electric
lamps. Within few feet was
a lighted bunsen burner. The
girl picked up a big gasoline
can and poured the gasoline
over the carbon filaments, and
the flames were, ignited by the
bunsen burner. The explosion
which followed burned off all
of her hair and part of her
clothing. The floor was satur-
ated with oil and the flames
spread rapidly. 1t was not long
before the fire had reached the
fourth floor, which was occo-
pied by Wolf & Co., manufac-
turers of muslin underwear. Mad
leaps from the fourth floor win
dows before the firemen arrived
with life nets and ladders were
what swelled the list of casual
titles.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles G. Ross,

Thanksgiving Day was one of
the liveliest in Smyrna for many
years and while the home COM
ing of former Smyrnians did not
seem so large as usual, the day
was ideal in its weather condi-
tions with plenty of interest for
everybody. All the churches
held services and goodly con-
gregations turned out to render
thanks for the blessings they
had during the year. The reg
ular Thanksgiving services were
said at Saint Peters at which
the sermon was delivered by the
rector Rev. F. w. R. Arthurs.
A Union Thanksgiving service
was held at the Presbyterian
Church by the Presbyterians and
Methodist when the sermon for
the occasion, an excellent dis
course in harmony with the day,
was preached by Rev. Alpheus
S. Mowbray, DID, pastor of As
bury M. E. Church. Those of a
sporting turn of mind were out
at dawn with gun and dogs for
a days hunt. Some were gun
ming for rabbits and some for
birds and there was good sport
for all. In the afternoon a large
crowd, one of the largest and
most enthusiastic assembled at

won easily by the score of IL

Letter Writing
Week Observed

The 23rd annual Letter Writ
ing Week is being celebrated in
Smyrna this week. Postmaster
Mary S. Goldsborough noted
that there has been a revival of
personal letter writing the last
few years. "a letter remains the
most economical, longest lasting
and sincerest means of extending
greetings, communicating social
news, and exchanging ideas"
the Postmaster said. During Let
ter Writing Week, Postermaster
Goldsborough suggested that in
idviduals write at least two let
tiers: one to a friend or relative
from whom you have not heard
in a long time, and the second
as a reply to friend or relative
who recently wrote to you. She
also urged correspondence to
people in other countries as a
means of promoting greater
understanding among the people
of different nations. The slogan
of this years event, as indicat-
ed on more than 100000 BAN
ners, is Letters Are Links to
Friendship The display mater
ials appears on post office
bulletin boards, and rural car
rier vehicles, as we'll as in var
.ious schools and libraries.
