Young Woman
Reports Job Bios
By Downtown Store

Some dow mt own department
stores are still practicing discrim-
mating in employment according
to Minneapolis NAACP officials.
A report by Mrs. Dorothy
Mason, 1909 Fourth Av. S., who
said she had asked for an apple
alton blank from the personnel
office Of a Nicollet Avenue mer-
chant stating that she wanted to
apply for a sales clerk job. Mrs.
Mason said she was told by a
woman in the office that a blank
could be given to her only If she
wanted to apply as a dishwasher.
Mrs. Mason said that she has
just completed course in office
work at Vocational High school
and feels that she can qualify for
the job for which she applied.
The case has been turned over
to the Minneapolis FEPC, accord
ing to NAACP officials.

School System. She served one
year as a third grade teacher,
grade level chairman and reading
demonstration teacher.
Her overseas adventures included
extensive travel through Morocco,
the Sahara, DalCar, Spain and Eng
land. She recently resigned an as
signment to Madrid, Spain to re-
turn to the Minneapolis Public
Schools.
Miss Blevtns said her encounters
were rich, rewarding and varied.
The current racial tensions are
felt throughout the world. Yet
overseas opportunities for our
youths are more available now
than ever before. 1t is to our great
advantage to pursue and accept
the challenging experiences and
reveal to the world the Negroes

ers. They have done everything for
their country that has been asked
of them, even to standing back
and waiting patiently, under pres
sure and persecution, for that
which they should have had at the
very beginning of their citizen
ship"
The Negro leader passionately
and brilliantly denounced the diff
ference between Americas prom
ises and performances. He spoke
of the defiance by states Of the
Highest Courts edicts and said
this capped the establishment Of
millions of Negro citizens and con-
WINGED many Of them that little
or no faith could be placed in the
usual processes for prompt red
ress of demonstrable grievances"
Wilkins added: a. They are
not to be dissuaded, then, by talk
that they are hurting their cause
through demonstrations :"
When Mr.. wilkins was finished
with his seven-page presentation,
it was obvious that perhaps with
one exception - South Cardinals
Sen. Strom Thurmond - each Sem
ator in some way had been touched
by the speech.
But 1t was Sen. Philip A. Hart,
of Michigan, who perhaps revealed
the depths Of his disgust and dis
taste for Americas way Of segre-
cation.
The distinguished Senator said:
II am proud Of my father, for my
father purchased my first mem
bership for me in the NAACP
when I was In high school"

yika Is the most economically Soc
tally, and religtously progressive
Islamic sect.
In the field Of economies, its
members are very cooperative and
hard working. Their cooperation
is clearly demonstrated in Their
Saturday evening meetings held In
their beautiful temples.
In these meetings, as witnessed
once in my city, they talk about
among other things business
and listen to speeches on various
topics. AS a result of their CO.
operation and constant discussion
about business, they own the rich
est stores in the cities as well as
operate industries in which they
employ both Africans and men,
bers of their community.
In this way they have managed
to control unemployment among
their community members besides
helping others.
For their health, they operate
several hospitals for their commun-
ity in almost every city. Practice
may differ from city to city; but
in my city and others I know Of,
their doctors were also attending
members Of other communities.
For my family doctor I chose an
Ismailian who seemed to charge
only for the medicine expenses.
Concerning progress, Ismailians
are very much conscious Of their
adults and children education.

schools mostly supported by their
own funds, are the most beautiful.
Because of the British Colonial
government which wanted to keep
races apart, and set up different
educational systems for Africans,
Asfans, and whites, the LAnailian
schools had very few African stu
dents three years ago. Furthermore
there are Ismaihan libraries In al
most every town; and the Ismadl-
ians seem to take much advantage
Of them.
1t is important to add here that
the Ismatlian community does also
give direct educational help to
members Of other communities.
Their leader Aka Kan, among
others, for example, contributed
10000 shillings towards the Afr1-
can students airlift to America In
1850. was among the students.
Relgiously speaking, they seem
to practice what they preach.
Islam frowns on drinking and all
forms of wealth wastage; and EN-
phasize hard work in order to be
self-supporting. What is more,
Islam without contradicting
terms, teaches human brotherhood;
and 50 far I have no ground to
accuse the Ismailian group Of act
ing contrary to their beliefs.
1t Is true that most Ismatlians,
or say Asians as a whole, Live In
their own sections in the cities.

rights bill, notched for himself, his
people and all Americans an I'M
equaled height in rhetoric, logic,
truth and beauty.
In an address, masterful both
for its content and presentation,
Wilkins at times almost silent
ly licked off the history of
Americas inhumanity TO its col
ored citizens and somehow, mex
plicably, made each white person
feel that he was guilty of, compiled
ty in Americas greatest sin.
The crowded hearing room was
hushed when Wilkins began, and
If such Is possible - it got quiet
err as he went along. Senators, each
with a copy Of the speech, turned
the pages as Wilkins read, and
simultaneously suffered self in
dictment for indifference and neg
lect, as Wilkins patiently plodded
on.
TT must be remembered" he
said, that while we talk here to-
day, while we talked last week,
and while the Congress will be de-
batting In the next weeks, Negro
Americans throughout our country
will be bruised in nearly every
waking hour by differenttal treat

or work, to shopping or to visit

night, humiliation stalks them.

Ice or none at ALL"
It was not just the words which
Wilkins spoke that so enraptured
his audience, it was also the actual
physical drama portrayed by the
cast Of characters he conjured who
acted out the bit parts in this
country's ageless saga Of discrim-
ination.
The drama was made infinitely
more real because the characters
were each and every person sit
ting and standing in the Senate
hearing room.
Said Mr.. Wilkins: For millions
Of Americans this Is vacation time.
Swar1ms Of families load their auto
mobiles and trek across country.
I invite the members Of this sub
committee to imagine themselves
darker in color and to plan an auto
trip from Norfolk, Va, to the Gulf
Coast of Mississippi, say, to Biloxi.
Or one from Terre Haute, Ind, to
Charleston, SC, or from Jackson
Vile, Fla, to Tyler, Texas.
How far do you drive each
day? Where, and under what con-
ditions can you and your family
eat? Where can they use a rest
room? Can you stop driving after
a reasonable day behind the wheel
or must you drive until you reach
a city where relatives or friends
will accommodate you and yours
for the night? VIII your children

a garden-type arrangement Of
plants and flowers. Three of the
designs provided for a garden
feature with water.
One significant point noted by
the writer was the excellent Sc
lection of kinds of plant mate
rial used. They were, for the
most part, admirably adapted to
the situations, were good for the
Washington Metropolitan Area,
and produced pleasing effects.
A small area atop a stone wall,
where low height was desired,
was planted to Skimmia japon-
lea. Magnolias planted along a
wall were so protected that they
will be safe from drying winter
winds. These and many other
examples indicated that the
choice of the proper shrub or
tree was recognized by the
judges and given due credit.
The awards were made last
night by Col. Wade Ferguson of
the Fairfax County Chamber of
Commerce at a dinner at the
Country Squire Restaurant,
Seven Corners, Va. Several
speakers emphasized the i'm
pOrtance of good landscaping to-
the community and to the home.
