PILGRIM BAPTIST

Worshippers at Pilgrim Baptist
Church, st. Paul, on Sunday heard
a pre-Mother's Day Sermon de-
hvered by the DR.. Floyd Massey,
Jr. Taking his text from I Sam
uel 1:13, the minister spoke from
the subject The Sincere Mother.
The pastor told the congregation
that God has set up our families
for a definite purpose. He referred
to Hannah as a prime example Of
mother who was interested in
her son and family. She was cited
as the type of mother we honor
today.
DR.. Massey concluded by point
ing out that Christian growth be-
gins and ends in the home. Chill
dren receive their Christian atti-
tude from their parents in many
silent ways. A good mother will
pray with her children and mott
vate the child in the Christian
doctrine.
Prior to the sermon Mrs. Ethel
Massey eloquently narrated Some

drens' Hour.

danes: A. Ross Brent, Plainsfield,

ance of Communion was observed.

white man follows the white man
and the Negro follows the white
man"
To this SISTER" yelled, That's
right" Malcolm replied, "Axn I
right or wrong?" Someone an
swered. you're right" and NAL
colin said, II know I'm right"
Malcolm x continued, America
sends billions Of dollars abroad to
buy friends, but they don't have to
buy egroes because Negro
preachers say Love your Enemy
and you love the white man. Don't
think that preachers are good Just
because they are preachers"
Speaking Of civil rights legisla-
ton Malcolm x said, 'The white
man said that the Emancipation
Proclamation and the 14th Amend
ment and the Supreme Court de-
cision on the indignation Of schools
would solve our problems, but we
still have the problem. We have
freedom on paper and not freedom
in reality. 1t was all trick played
on us by the white man and we
fell for it."
Every time I see a white man
in trouble I get happy" chuckled
Malcolm x, "Everytime I hear
bad news for them it's good news
for me. No black man in his
right mind can say that he is not
happy when he sees a plane full
of Georgia crackers fall down"
I'm saying this for the stool
pigeons so they will not be dis
appointed" he added.
Malcolm x said that the Negro
must wake up. clean up and stand
up. He announced that the white
mans time is up and we are living
in judgment day. He said that the
Negro must know who he is. In
parable like fashion he said, IF
you ask a white man what he Is
he says that he Is a German Amer
lean, French American or some
thing like that, but what do you
say? You say that you are an
American Negro. And what does
that mean? Nothing. Where Is Ne
gro?"
In the area Of clean up" NAL
colin x explained the Muslin
policy Of not smoking, drinking or
committing adultery. He said,
'Muslims take a bath at least
once every "a hours. We have
no juvenile delinquents and we
have no drop outs. We respect
our women. No nation will rise
higher than its women"
Malcolm x urged, Stand up,
don't let white men come into our
neighborhoods trying to get our
women. Negro men must work.
Don't send women out to do a
mans work. Things have got so
bad that Negro children have more
respect for the welfare than they
do for their fathers. To eliminate
police brutality, don't break the
law but learn you some Karate
and Judo so you won't be accused
of carrying a concealed weapon"
Malcolm x spoke for one hour
and a half . it didn't seem that
long. Afterwards a question and
period was held. When the
meeting was over several broth
ers and sisters" dropped little yell
low cards into baskets at the door.
These were application for men,
cards.

beginning with a motor vehicle
law that discriminates heavily
against rural areas. The expansion
Of the incorporated area around
Minneapolis and st. Paul, and
tortured definition and ragged en-
forcement of the law complete the
picture.
The urban truckers bargain be-
gan with a general revision of the
motor vihicle law adopted in 1919.
The 1949 revision, for reasons that
do not appear in the record, es-
tablished one schedule for urban"
trucks and tractors, another for
vehicles operating outside the cit
les, and a third for farm trucks.
The farm truck schedule, which
with a couple Of exceptions is re-
stricted to farmer owned vehicles
hauling farm produce and sup
plies exclusively for the owner, is
Of limited advantage to the farmer
and has little impact in the whole
picture.
However, the urban schedule
sets up an advantage for truckers
who can use 1t, Of as much as
$1,1OO a year on q single heavy
duty outfit. The saving Is more
than 30 per cent.
Truckers who can use this ad-
vantage are the following:
1. The distributor with enough
metropolitan outlets to use one or
more medium to heavy-duty veh-
icles.
2. The over-the-road trucker
who can keep one or more outfits
busy in the cities with switch
engine" duties.
8. The over-the-road trucker
with equipment that Is idle for
considerable periods. (He can use
the urban rate during the idle
period, and the over-the-road rate
for the seasons when the equip
ment Is in service.)
Over-the-road truckers are MAX
ing extensive use Of the urban
rate. So are building supply houses
especially the ready-mix con-
crete industry-and a wide varie-
ty Of truckers using medium sized
trucks. Beer distributors generally
use urban licenses. Some fuel oil
distributors, and a few big gaso-
line tankers are also using this
class Of license.
Light trucks do not use the
urban classification as there Is
little or no tax advantage in the
nghtest classifications.
Since the law limits the use Of
urban licenses to "the corporate
limits Of any city, village or Dor
ough, or contiguous cities and vii
lagos" these licenses are effective
in the Twin Cities area.
The few such licenses issued In |
Duluth are declining year by year.
In the Twin Cities, the annual
Increase in these licenses Is slim
ulated by a strange Interpretation
used In the enforcement Of the law.
Contiguous" Is interpreted toI
mean all uninterrupted stretches
Of incorporated territory. Thus,
as the metropolitan area grows the
feasibility Of using the bargain
license grows.

Rev. Ellis c. BellfieId,
Newly Appointed pusfor

Rev. Ellis e. Bellfield, 5033
Humboldt Av. NJ, is the newly ap-
pointed minister at st. Johns
Missionary Baptist Church, 1o15
Girard Av. N.
Rev. Bellfield was appointed to
fill the vacancy at church after
the death Of Rev. z. B. Byrd, who
died a few months ago. At the
time Of Rev. Byrd's death, Rev.
Bellfield was assistant pastor.

an obviously loose enforcement
policy. Although the urban license
Is issued to single trucks or single
tractor-trailer units, the tractors
are freely used in combination
with over-the-road trailer licenses
and even with out-of-state trailers
The legal requirement that urban
licensed outfits display the name
Of the city where they are lie
ensed, and the unloaded weight Of
the vehicles, is frequently ignored.
How this license discriminates
against non-metropolitan Mime
sofa is fairly obvious. The gasoline
distributor with city outlets can
be supplied from the Roseville
pipeline terminal by a fleet Of
tankers paying a little more than
500 a year for each license. The
same fleet serving non-metropoli-
tan outlets would pay about 81, 100
a year for each tanker.
Similarly, a farmers shipping
association might deliver livestock
to the South st. Paul market In
trucks paying the high license
fee, while the packing house can
deliver the meat to metropolitan
outlets in trucks paying the lower
fee.
The bus license schedule also
discriminates against non-metro-
politan Minnesota. Twin Cities
buses pay $42 a year, Duluth
buses $1,000 and buses serving
other cities 1920. Buses Of the
same capacity operating on rural
and small-town routes pay $500.
Interstate buses, serving primari-
ly big cities, pay according to a
complicated formula which comes
to as little as $40 on some vehicles,
and repeatedly saves the operators
thousands Of dollars annually.
The 1919 law which set up the
bargain urban truck rate was
sponsored by rural and small
town legislators and the opposition
was led by city legislators. Spon-
sors were Roy e. Dunn, Of Peli-
can Rapids, Aubrey Dirlam, of
Redwood Falls, and A. r. Lee, of
Annandale. Leading the opposition
was William e. Carlson, Of st.
Paul.
In 1862, $500 urban licenses
were issued, at fees totaling
$216,818. Because Of the different
bases of calculating urban and
general truck licenses, and because
Of variations in the schedules from
light to heavy equipment, there is
no way OF determining the exact
advantage to the truckers. If all
the licenses were in the heaviest
categories, which they are not, the
saving would be more than $1,000
300. The saving Is probably nearer
to $1,5O0,000.
However, use Of this license is
increasing at a rate usually ex-
ceeding 10 per cent annually, and
the trend Is to heavier equipment.
Since 1857 the number has in
creased SAC per cent and the dol
lar amount 1885.

Minister Malcolm x had a heart
to heart talk with approximately
800 Of his brothers and sisters
last Sunday, April IA . Being a
family affair, the Muslin leader,
admitted only Negroes and with
them he dropped that air Of su-
periority usually associated with
Malcolm x and gave the "rela-
lives" a brotherly tongue flashing,
At the Easter Sunday night
meeting Minister Malcolm ex-
planned why no whites were pres
ent. He said, THE whites have
been excluded, not because we
(Muslims) are anti-white, but be-
cause we can talk better with
brothers and sisters. Negroes have
not known how to get together
behind closed doors and come out
and be united. If we settle differ
ences behind closed doors we can
come out and be champs not
chumps . You don't believe In
God, you believe in the white man.
That's why we kept the white man
out, so he wouldn't know how
dumb you are"
The advertised topic of Malcolm
KS speech at the Crystal Roller
Rink was, Americas No. Prob
lem is the Presence of 20 Million
Unwanted Negroes" but some
how, throughout the hour and a
half long address Minister NAL
colin gave little attention to the
of the provocative
title.
Fruits OF Islam
AS the Fruits Of Islam guarded
the speakers stand, Malcolm x
said, I'VE are not here to discuss
or segregation, we are
here to discuss a common prob
lem. Whether you be Baptist,
Catholic, Muslin or what have you
we all have the same problem. The
man discriminating against you is
the same man discriminating
against me-"
Malcolm x explained that the
Negroes are in a strategic position
with the whole world watching
them. He indicated that the Negro
can overcome all problems II he
will take a strong stand on issues
the race. when a Ne
gro voices an opinion Of his own,
the white man gets another Negro
to talk against him. If someone
makes a statement like Powell did
Powell said that Negroes should
lead Negro organizations such as
the NAACP,) the white man calls
on Negro leaders to be against
him. These Uncle Tom leaders are
selling you out and trying to make
you feel that the problem Is
he warned.
The best way to look like a
fool is to try to defend the white
man. It's like a lamb defending a
wolf. Negroes need to find a good
Negro to lead them and then let
him know that you will back him
to the death and I mean to the
death. Make that leader more
afraid Of you than he is Of the
white man.
