LACK OF RACIAL PRIDE:
First of all there is race pride. We
do not have very much race pride.
AS soon as we get clean shirt
and zoe, we rush across the race

to a night club and when some see
us for the pig that we are, we
start throwing things :. We were
born black and we shall die the
same way.
Secondly, there is cleanliness.
The truth is as race we are clean.
We will not clean up our homes,
our yards, our churches, or chill
dren, or ourselves. We still hold
that the best use for water is drink
ing. If we do not have the best
of clothes, we can at least wash
the ones we do have. For Gods
sake keep clean.

Despite the two setbacks, Thorn

fit the needs of their climate and
culture.
Home designs of many Saudi
Arabian employees of Arabian
American Oil Company vary ac-
cording to individual tastes, but
the Mediterranean villa" con-
struction is the type most COM
monty seen. This type of house
is built of reinforced concrete
with a stucco exterior. A para
pet wall or "hosh," at the top
of the building, turns the roof
into a combined sun deck and
outdoor sleeping area. A low
wall around the entire property
creates an enclosed garden
which may contain a pool, flower
beds, and a plot for growing
vegetables. Tiled courtyards and
verandas are popular.
The interior of the average
house has about 1900 square
feet of floor area. Glazed ceramic
and terrazzo tile, produced To-
cally, is used in kitchens and
baths, on floors and in the con-
struction of the central stair
way. Glass and steel are usu-
ally imported, but wrought iron
grilled door windows and CRATES
are manufactured nearby.
Most home furnishings are in

dance of floor cushions are found
in every home. But Western

and touches are showing up

terrazzo tile floors are covered
with Oriental rugs.

and desires of employees of Saudi

The company constructs homes

Saudi Arabs to build or pur-
chase their own homes.
The aim of the Home Owner
ship Program is to encourage
Saudi Arab employees to build
the kind of home he wants. He
chooses his own design and
works with a local contractor,
an Independent business man
that he selects.
To be eligible for the plan, a
Saudi Arab employee must be
at least 20 years old, married or
head of a family, and in good
health. He must have worked
for the company from three to
five years, have a good employ
ment record and be able to show
that he can repay his debt during
his working life. By now, 85 per
cent of the 1000 Saudi Arab
employees have worked for the
company at least five years.
The amount the company will
loan begins at 10000 Saudi ri
yals, about $4,000, and increases
according to salary. No interest
is charged on the loan. A 5 per
cent service charge is added to
the amount borrowed. If the en-
ployee remains with Aramco 0, the
company absorbs 20 per cent of
both the loan and the service
charge.

OV years, make DeileVe CHRISTIANS.
We live between 80 and 70 years
and we spend all this time in run
down churches, with part-time min
listers, strutting, singing and hol-
lering, "Going to heaven when
die, get our wings, eat milk and
honey, sit down and tell God all
about it. When are we going to
teach our people how to live here
on earth; how to make ends meet;
how save; build homes; take care
of our children; budget our money;
clean up our homes, and most of all
go back to God.
AND MORALS; Our fourth
beam is morals. Will somebody
please tell me where they are. We
beat, knock, kill, cut and shoot our
wives, children and husbands. We
spend our first money after pay
day on liquor and gambling, thus
leaving the baby home crying for
milk. We owe every loan shark in
the land; we do not know where
our children are at night, nor they
US. We send them to school I'M
clean, without food, and sometimes
without anything to get food with.
Yet, we call them bad.
Our women are by no means
saints, and sometimes they can
carry themselves in a most unre-
ligious, unfeminine way, drunk, dis
orderly, and using profanity in the
presence of children, not carrying
their children to church, not clean
ing up their homes, not preparing
meals, rags on their head, mud on
their feet, and stuff in their
mouths.
LAZINESS; Our fifth beam is
laziness. Many of US who could
vote are too lazy to register or
pay taxes. We veterans, men who
are tax exempted, are often nom
voters, thus we are non-citizens
after having fought for it. When
we get jobs instead of doing our
best work, we are slothful, doing
just enough to get by. l know our
schools need much in the way of
improvement, but we are doing a
poor job with what we do have.
My grandmother could spell ten
times better than l can and she
only went to the 9Th grade. Why?
Our Negro teachers are doing two
things, watching the clock and the
calendar for pay day.
USING GOD; Our sixth beam is
talking. In general we as a group
talk too much. Someone once said,
Little minds discuss people, great
minds ideas" We spend too much
time talking about simple things
and other people. We talk down
our race and its business; we run
and tell everything that is said in
our meeting.
You can talk about sit-in and sit
out all you want to, but a vote-in
and vote-out within the next five
years, would do the job. You are
not going to change the racial prob
lem overnight anyway. The hearts
and minds of men will have to
change first :. If you want to talk,
then talk up some more votes.
THE WAY is CLEAR; l have
named six of the many beams that
stand between the Negro and full
citizenship. There are others, but
if we are ever to become first class
citizens, we must do first things.
Now the only way to really lick
every excuse for race discrimina-
ton is to: Have pride in our own
black race. Vote up, clean up, keep
up, live up, and look up, do your
work jam up. Rev. w. T. Hudson,
Montgomery, Ala.

known as the worlds greatest
athlete" has recently become inter-
ested in a new, exciting venture at
the international Christian univers-
ity in Japan. This project is the
building of a gymnasium-auditor-
iurn, which will accommodate the
alI-weather, year-round program
Of physical education, health de-
velopment, and recreation for the
university.
Johnson is lending his support to
the raising of half million dollars
for the construction of the gym

ing will be completed by 1864, the
year of the next Olympic Games,
to be held in Tokyo.
The well-known American ath-
lete, who won an Olympic gold
medal for his superb performance
in the decathlon in 1860, was named
one of the 10 outstanding young
men of the nation by the United
States Chamber of Commerce. He
won the decathlon in the Pan Am
erican Games in Mexico City in
1855, and in 1858 he travelled to
Russia to compete in the u. S.
u. S. S. r. track meet.
In one of the great athletic duels
in history there in Moscow, John
son beat the Russian star Kusnet-
SOW and set a new world mark.
That year he was named Sports

Gov. ]. Willard Tawes has
asked the president of the Mont
gomery County Council to sub
NIT to him information on how
the County utilized, or plans to
utilize, additional revenues it
will receive from the State un-
der the James Committee pro-
gram.
In letter to William F.
Hickey, Governor Tawes point
ed out that Montgomery County
will receive a total of 81, 544, PAL
in additional State aid: This is
equivalent to II cents on the tax
rate of the County.
Similar letters went to the
heads of government of the
other subdivisions.
In them, the Governor said
the James Committee program
was adopted in response to re-
peated demands from county Of
ficials for financial relief to To-
cal governments, without sacri-
flee of local independence and
authority to control matters
which historically have been the
prerogative of local government
in Maryland"
Under it, the counties and Bal.

ways:
l. 1t increased State aid for
education by increasing grants
for current expenses and for
school construction.
2. 1t placed a limit equal to
10 cents per 500 assessable

the subdivisions to the public
welfare programs, thereby re.
lieving local expense for that
purpose.

Governor Tawes called the as.
