mon with the Negro who shines
Shoes" an attorney says.
Diverse wants. It's illogical to
expect that 19-million people, at
widely different income and educa-

all whites to want the same. 1T
is now impossible to speak for the
entire Negro market" says Prof.
Henry Allen Bullock Of Texas
Southern University.
Economics, not race, determines
any differences between whites
and nonwhites, many concerns feel.
Negroes are predominantly a low
income group.
Many feel that the only special
bow they need to make to this
then is to offer an abund-
ance Of lower-priced products.
They agree with the Philadelphia

Spending habits. Yet, even many

integrated group conceded that
long established CONGRATULATIONS
about Negro spending habits still
hold. Food, drink, the elements
that make up home entertainment,
still absorb a lot of the Negroes
dollar - partly because of the
taboos that close the doors on out
side festivities. Poorer Negroes
hunt out bargains anywhere, but,

Warrenton, N. c. CAMP - A
bizarre case in which two women
are accused Of feeding lethal doses
Of rat poison to their husbands and
three men are charged with con-
spiracy in the deaths unfolded here
last week.
One Of the women Mrs. Maggie
Aston, was quoted as saying she
gave her husband the rat killer in
small amounts because she wanted
him to have time to complete a
new house they were planning.
Held here without bond on muir
der charges are Mrs. Vance Perry,
35, Of Warrenton, and Mrs. Mag
gle Williams Aston, "a, Of Frank
linton. In Jail with them on a con-
spiracy charge is John Henry Har-
ris, 26, also Of Warrenton des-
cribed as Mrs. Perry's boyfriend.
Jailed at Louisburg were Len
wood Aston, 33, Mrs. Alston's
current husband, and William Aus

Hundley said Mrs. Perry is charg-
ed with murder and conspiracy in

Some spending quirks turn up.
According to Boot & Shoe Re-
corder, the average Negro male
buys 77% more pairs Of shoes than
the average white male. And he
pays considerably more for them.
Mems wear merchants confirm
that Negroes are sharply fashion
conscious. A st. Louis retailer
credits Negroes with starting the
all-weather tan coat style. Negro
men are good style judges, adopt
ing new fashions more quickly
than whites do, merchants in sew

had told him he must learn to
play nicely with the other children
and to share with them. She had
tried to prepare him for a new
life that would not include a quick
response to his every notion. She
also told him he must listen to
his teacher and try to do as she
told him. She made him feel like
he was a big boy, and he tried to
live up to that. He liked school
from the first day he was there,
because he had an idea what to
expect and what he had to do too.
If you have ever watched a
small group Of children, even four
and five year olds, you must have
noticed there is always one who
is THE leader. Another one is al
ways the bully Of the group and
of course you have noticed there is
always the shy one.
The leader will insist on playing
house if that is the game she
wants to play and the bully will
say he won't play house. The shy
one will say she will play house
and she will be the child, too.
Mite times out Of ten there will
be no game right then because the
leader walks away If she can't
have her way.
A few months in school and the
children find they have to learn
to give and take or they will be
left out Of the games, so they soon
learn. That is, quite a few Of them
learn, the hard way.
The foundation Of every state is
the education of its youth.-Dio-

school and leaving him there alone.
He has never been away from me
before. I just know he. won't like
it,.
You know how timid and frigh-
tened Gerry is going to be on his
first day in school. His mothers
fears and worries will follow him
right into that schoolroom! But
Gerry, If he listens to his teacher,
will come out of the school, a quite
normal little youngster. He will
be with some Of the children he
knows, and being very young, he
will try to do as they do.
No child, however young, wants
to be different from other chill
dren. 1t may take the spoiled child
a little longer to become adjusted
to being away from home, but the
classmates will see that he be-
comes adjusted.
The teacher, too, will soon have
the confidence of the child and he
will take his or her place with the
other children. His own mother,
If she is wise, will see the change
in her child and encourage him to
become more Independent each
day. She will, If she Is well ad-
justed, and wants her child to
take his place in the world.
Alice was telling about a child
she knew whose mother had
spoiled her so much, the whole
school became involved in trying
to teach her to stay in the class
room after she was left at school.
The tiny little tot, who was not
quite five years old, had suffered
a great number Of sick spells dur
ing her babyhood. Fear Of losing
her had made her parents over-an-
xious about her living, to the
point that she was really spoiled.
Marian, the mother, took the
tiny tot, Lois to school each morn
ing for three weeks. About the
time she was ready to do her
morning work, someone would be
bringing her child home because
she cried so hard and so long they
were afraid she would be Ill. Then
one day, a little playmate called
Lois 'Mama's. baby in such a way
that little Lois decided that being
a 'mama's baby was something
she did not want to be. From then
on Lois stayed in school and be-
came, as the others, a well ad-
justed pupil.
The teacher deserved much
credit too. She had told the mother
to let Lois stay in school, and
when she was brought home, to
send her back. In time she would
learn to like being in school, but
the mother kept her at home I'M
til the next morning, hoping a
miracle would happen. For her,
one did.
Soon jamie was telling about
another child, John, who started
in like he was regular student
of several years. His mother had
been telling him about school, the
teachers and the pupils for the
past year, and when he stepped
into the classroom he felt he had
been there before. She had even
described the way the room would
look to him and so he knew where
everything belonged. He looked at
the teachers desk and knew she
would be behind it soon. He also
was familiar with the idea Of talk
ing a nap sometime during the
time he would spend there.
Nothing seemed new or strange
to him because his mother had
explained to him how nice 1t would
be when he went to school. She

There's a reason, says James
L. Hicks, executive editor Of the
New Amsterdam News. The sue
cessful Negro has to be "a soldier
and a half" He can't stop with
the passable. He has to excel, just
to keep on a par.
This brings US back squarely to
the problem of forced identity.
Being a Negro" says Pepsi-Cola
Co.'S new Negro Hce-president,
