How To Lose Jobs Everybody has heard of the featherbedding problem on the railroads—a problem resulting from obsolete work rules which demand pay for work not performed. But some people may be confused as to just what, specifically, featherbedding involves. Many examples could be cited. Here is one: Every day an express train on a 16-hour run between Chicago and Denver has to stop about every two hours. The stops aren't made to pick passengers, but to change engine crews. Each crew member then calls it a day, and draws an average of 1 1/4 basic days wages for his two hours running time. This is demanded by an old work rule imposed when trains were far slower than at present. Moreover, featherbedding contributes directly and heavily to declines in railroad employment. An example of that: A railroad sought to abandon a money-losing 71-mile line in Texas not long ago. The interstate Commerce Commission suggested a 12-mile section might be saved if operating costs could be reduced. The four train-operating unions were then asked to revise an old work rule to allow use of one crew on the short branch instead of the two the rule required. Three of the unions agreed, but the fourth refused and blocked the change. As a result, the ICC authorized abandonment of the entire 71-mile line. So now, no trains run, no jobs are there for railroad workers and no rail service for the public. No one can benefit from featherbedding. Everyone is certain to lose. A Roosevelt Memorial It has been proposed that memorial to President Theodore Roosevelt be erected on Theodore Roosevelt Island in the Potomac River, near Washington. It is estimated the cost of the memorial would be $900,000, which is a mere drop in the bucket, considered along with the extravaganzas always contained in the Federal budget. The memorial would be a celestial sphere about fifty feet in diameter, and it has been approved by a committee headed by Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Our capital, Washington, is still a growing city, and we have major memorials there to relatively few of our great Americans statesmen. Republicans and Democrats will no doubt agree that Theodore Roosevelt was one of them. The principal monuments in Washington have been the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and — built while President Franklin D. Roosevelt was in office — the Jefferson Memorial. In addition, the memorial to the late Senator Robert Taft Was dedicated last year, and is an imposing edifice. It is probably a good bet that most Americans would heartily approve of the memorial to President Theodore Roosevelt, who was a great individualist, who believed in free enterprise and democracy, and who was frank and outspoken and widely popular— among men of all parties in his day. Highlights Of Negro under the title "Stirring Up the Fires of Race Antipathy" that Booker T. Washington taken "all in ill" was "the greatest man, save General Lee, born in the South in a hundred years. When the wrath of almost all North Carolina and other Negro haters came forth, Bassett backtracked a little, explaining that he meant Washington had done more with his limited opportunities than any southerner other than Lee in a century. And immediately, he submitted his resignation to the Trinity College board of trustees. Booker T. Washington was the main attraction at the cotton states exposition. His address on Sept. 12, 1895 was widely publicized in the newspapers, and the Atlanta constitution said editorially that Mr. Washington's address was the greatest attraction of the exposition speeches. Going to Tuskegee, Ala., on July 4, 1881, Booker T. Washington founded an institution which was to attract the attention of the world for its unique program of industrial education and philosophy of race relations. Mr. Bassett, who was the first editor of The South Atlantic Quarterly, was professor of history at Trinity College now Duke University at Durham, N. C. from 1893 to 1906. The historian had a time weathering the storm. Every other member of the faculty at Trinity College wrote his resignation and sealed it in an envelope to be open ed in the event Mr. Basset's should be accepted. The board of trustees called Mr. Bassett's article regarding Booker T. Washington's greatness "unfortunate" but gave him their support. The trustees also gave President John Carlisle Kilgo, who had dragged into the controversy, a vote of confidence. The board also endorsed a declaration of academic freedom which has become a historic document. Thus Booker T. Washington, born a slave in a log cabin 14 by 16 feet on a plantation in Franklin County, Va., on April 5, 1856, became the rallying point around which a new spirit, of liberalism was born below the Mason and Dixon line. Clifford Dowdey, Richmond, Va., novelist, wrote an interesting article on Booker T. Washington which was published in the Richmond Times-Dispatch Sunday, September 4, 1949 He reviewed the life and accomplishments of the founder of Tuskegee. His greatest tribute to Mr. Washington is found in these words: "No Virginian who successfully made the climb had further to come or more dislocation to overcome than Booker T. Washington." The climax of Booker T. Washington's career and achievement was the selection of this educator and leader in race relations for a place in the Hall of Fame at New York University in 1945. He is the only Negro in the Hall of Fame. European trade blocs spell cut in prices. ATLANTA ATTRACTION under the title "Stirring Up the Fires of Race Antipathy" that Booker T.

Brotherhood Week not be ignored during "Brotherhood Week" nor any other week in a year, the report stated: "In dealing with race relations, the Assembly underscored the importance of freedom of association, saying that restrictive devices which today are directed against any legitimate cause, even religious liberty, and can thus imperial the principle of voluntary association, which is essential in a democratic society. The Assembly cautioned Presbyterians "to not support or tolerate such assaults on the God-given and constitutionally guaranteed rights of all citizens under the mistaken notion that they are merely defending a racial arrangement they happen to prefer, and called upon the church members to defend the right of every lawful organization or association, especially those under attack, to work to achieve legitimate social goals, lest the very fabric of our democratic system itself be destroyed." The report stated further: "Strong efforts on behalf of voting rights of all American citizens were urged. The federal government was called upon to make sure that public tax money is used on a racially non-discriminatory basis; support of fair housing legislation was underscored; and in regard to the church itself, all members were called upon to labor unceasingly toward the goal to which fellowship that knows no racial or social barrier," concluded the report. Value Of Study freedom, not "up from slavery." There is no greater movement today that gives greater hope and aspiration to Negro youth than the annual celebration of NEGRO HISTORY WEEK, sponsored "by the ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF NEGRO LIFE AND HISTORY. The Association was founded in 1915 by the late Dr. Carter G. Woodson, author of "THE NEGRO IN OUR HISTORY," and has as its objectives the collection of sociological and historical data on the Negro, the study of peoples of African blood, the publishing of books in this field, and the promotion of harmony between, the races by acquainting the one with the other. It is of utmost importance to the Negro youth of America to have a thorough knowledge of the achievements and contributions which men and women of AfricanAmerican descent have made to the economic, intellectual and social wellbeing of their race and to the civic and cultural progress of America, in the brief span of almost a century. To produce a self respecting race and win the confidence and respect of other races, Negro leaders, publishers, parents and teachers must increase their efforts to promote and encourage the study of past and contemporary history of the Negro in America, and see that it is not only transmitted to inspire Negro youth, but taught in American schools: recorded and preserved in the annals of American civilization; without bias or prejudice to be read by all the people, and by succeeding generations. "Not to know what one's race has done in former times is to continue always a child.".. (Carter G. Woodson) JUNIOR ELKS INSTALL OF- FICERS — The Junior Elks held their installation program recently at Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church with Elder Blair T.

Distributed by K.F.S. LING STRWART went into the predawn blackness to harness the horse while his wife, Ann, remained at the breakfast table. The steadily burning candle softly illumined part of the long table and cast a little circle of light on either side, but the far corners of the room remained in shadow. As she sat there, Ann read in those dim shadows a portent of things to be. Several days ago, William Bodine, a Wetherly merchant, had tried to cheat Ling out of part of a bale of furs that Ling had offered for sale. Doubtless, after following his usual practice of asking hunters to help themselves at the whiskey barrel, Bodine had carried the bale of furs into a rear room, stolen five deer skins and three fox pelts and claimed they had never been present. Ling had reacted characteristically and knocked Bodine down. Day before yesterday, the sheriff had ridden up to inform Ling that Bodine had preferred charges of felonious assault and that he, Ling Stewart, would have to answer those charges in Denbury court. Ann had expected a felonious assault on the sheriff himself, and she had been enormously relieved when Ling merely listened amiably. When he told her that he intended to obey the summons she was dizzy with astonishment. Now they were readying them selves for the trip into Denbury, some fifteen miles distant, and Ling's day in court. Ann opened a door that led into an adjoining room, bent over the nearest of two small beds and whispered, "Jeffrey!" The child in the far bed awakened first and called out, "Mama?". Ann sighed inwardly. Her husband was the most skillful hunter in Hobbs Creek, a Virginia community of hunters. Just past three years of age, baby Lin was wide awake at a sound the had failed even to disturb his older brother: he was his father reborn. Ann said softly, "Go back to sleep, Lingo." "Yes, Mama." He lay down but not to sleep, for the candle's light showed his bright eyes fixed steadily on her. Ann whispered a second time, "Jeffrey!" Now he, too, was suddenly awake and alert, with no pause between sleep and wakefulness. Raiding Cherokees and renegade white men might occasionally prowl here, and even small children learned early that the difference between drowsy and instant wakening could mean the difference between dying and living. Far more gentle than his brother, resembling Ann as much as the younger boy resembled Ling, he spoke softly, "Yes. Mama?" "Papa and I will be gone all day. It's much too early for you to get up, but when the time comes tell Cramp to fix breakfast eggs for you, Lingo and himself. Tell him to serve milk, cornbread and butter with it After breakfast he is to wash the dishes. Then he is to feed and milk the cows ..." She recited, very precisely, the chores to be done, concluding with, "Then he is to go to bed and you must tuck Lingo in. Do you understand, darling?" He repeated exactly what she'd said and Ann listened patiently. When he finished, she said fondly, "That's my darling! Go back to sleep now." She stooped to kiss him and crossed to the other bed to kiss her younger son, urging him back to sleep. Then she tiptoed from the room and softly closed the door behind her. Lighting her way with the candle, she went into the bedroom she shared with Ling. She opened a trunk and took from it a gown, a beribboned bonnet and a coat that had been very smart ten years ago. Slipping out of her gingham housedress, Ann put on the gown and while she reveled in the luxury of silk and velvet she gave silent thanks for a stubborn little whim that she had insisted on pursuing. She had gone nowhere in ten years and there had seemed no faint possibility that she would go anywhere, but it had given her soul a necessary balm to keep the best of the adolescent Ann's clothing for the woman she had become. Ruthlessly destroying one garment to piece out another over the years she had watched the extensive wardrobe that her father had once provided shrink to two gowns, the coat, five bonnets and a scattered heap of remnants. She smoothed the gown, slipped into the coat, tilted the bonnet on her blue-black curls and created in her imagination a full-length mirror. Then the front door opened and Ling came in. Hastily Ann caught up the candle, returned to the other room and stifled a giggle Ling was tall, lean and graceful, but now he was clumsily gawking as he stared at her. "My gosh!" he blurted. "My gosh, Ann! You're pretty's a yearlin' doe on new spring grass!" "Do you like it?" she asked, smiling. His engaging grin flashed. "Cept for one thing." "And what is that?" "I'd best tote along a club to beat off them young Denbury bucks." "Of course!" she teased. "You'll need one in each hand." "Ready?" "All ready.," She hoped he couldn't hear her sigh of relief when he came to her side without even glancing it the firearms rack. He seldom went anywhere without a gun, even out to split wood in the barn, and she dreaded the possible consequences if he entered Denbury armed. The fact that he obviously intended to go unrmed made more complex to her a situation that was already bewildering. Ann sought the reason and presently found it. Ling was condescendingly tolerant at best, and scathingly contemptuous at worst, of anyone who submitted to restriction in my form. He considered the residents of Denbury and all other towns to be some rather low form of life which happened to look human. This life couldn't possibly be human because, in Ling's opinion, no man would ever relinquish a fraction of the freedom to be found in the wilderness for any security that could be had in town. Town-dwellers were his enemies and as such they might turn on him, but they were such puny creatures that he need not bother to go armed among them. Given provocation, Ling would attack anyone, including the judge of Denbury court, with his fists. But this time he wasn't likely to kill anyone, and with that comforting thought Ann walked outside. The black carriage was only dimly seen in the dark until Ling turned a blanket aside. A lantern glowed from beneath it. "All right, honey. Get in," he said. She climbed into the seat, turning her face from the raw wind as she did so. When Ling got in on the other side and drew the blanket over them, the lantern's heat warmed her legs and feet. She looked wonderingly at her husband. He would never have thought of the lantern if he had been going alone. He had considered her comfort. Ling caught up the reins, the horse trotted forward fend Ann meditated on her own part in this curious adventure. She had assented readily when he asked her to come with him, but she had wondered then, and wondered still, why he wanted her along. In the twenty-one years since his father brought him to Hobbs Creek, Ling had visited no settlement larger than Wetherly. With four hundred-odd residents, it was the largest settlement in the county. In the woods he was master. But for all his braggadocio and superiority to townsmen he quailed because he must venture into a own he had never visited. She'd wondered why he wanted her along! Why, he'd rather face ten angry bears than face the judge of Denbury court alone, she guessed. CHAPTER 1 BY JIM KJELGAARD Copyright $ 1958 by Jim Kjelgaard.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH TEXT: "Let brotherly love continue." Heb. 13:1 This month is studded with birthdays of immortals like Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and with weeks like unto Negro History Week, Brotherhood Week, etc. It is an opportune month to think and to act on "brotherly love." Let us remember when everything else fails, brotherly love wins. There is hate the world today. There are hate merchants in all races. They cry out: "I'm a hate merchant, yes, hate is my trade. I thrill at the wonderful progress I've made, hate pays a big profit, it's easy to sell, no other business is doing so well." One of the many concomitants' Of hate is prejudice based on race and color. It is most difficult to overcome except through brotherly love. Brotherly love obliterates hate and gives to all a sense of belonging. We do hunger for a oneness, a sense of belonging. Hate groups stand at the doors of oneness with flaming swords of prejudice and say, "You cannot enter." Brotherly love invites all of God's children into one fold. The courts of bur land cannot solve our racial problems, only brotherly love has the solution. All the courts can do is to prevent the state from being a party of injustice. The courts cannot remove stinking hateful relations between individual members of the two races. Only brotherly love can fumigate and deordorize and destroy the stink of hate. As legally enforced segregate begins to disappear a new segregation steals in, it is segregation of the heart and segregation of the human spirit. Decent human relations between races grow out of brotherly love, brotherly concern, wishing each other well, engaging in common tasks for the public good and the building of the kingdom of God in the hearts of men. Brotherly love is God's solution. If I love you as I love myself I will not jim crow you, I will not segregate you, I will not exploit you, I will not cheat you. If you don't love people you don't love God and if you don't love God, hate and hell are yours. So many many people hate. They say, may be unconsciously but loudly: "Neurotics and crackpots are my favorite bait, they are natural suckers for programs of hate, all logic and reason they shun and despise, they thrive on a diet of half-truths and lies." "Let brotherly love continue." Why should I love you? The answer, because you are my brother. God has made of one blood all the nations of the earth. Love is the eleventh commandment. Jesus says, "A new commandment give I unto you, that you love one another." BROTHERLY LOVE By REV. BLAIR T. HUNT PASTOR MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN CHURCH TEXT: "Let brotherly love continue."

Mobile Students Try Again To Enter School A second attempt was made here last week by two Negro men to enroll in one of the state's six all-white vocational trad schools. There is one al-Negro school located near Birmingham. The two men, Ernest L. Koen and Frank E. Lee, both 27, submitted applications along with three other Negroes for admittance to the school here last Spring. School Director Clay Knight said he was referring the matter to the state superintendent of education, Frank Stewart, at Montgomery. Although Koen and Lee said they sent duplicate letters to Stewart, he said he was unaware that they bad made application. Their letter as released to the press by knight follows: "Our applications have not been acted upon to the best of our knowledge, belief or information, although an unconscionable period of time has elapsed. Moreover applications by other Negro citizens have similarly been ignored. We therefore demand that we be admitted to our requested programs of training.' MEMORIAL STUDIO 889 UNION AVENUE The five-year observance of the Civil War Centennial will open next Jan. 1, with special religious ceremonies throughout the nation. Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III, head of the national Civil War Centennial Commission, also said that President Eisenhower will be asked to issue a proclamation marking the opening of the event. The proclamation, Grant said, will urge every American to participate in a series of programs planned at the grass - roots level. He noted that 40 state centennial commissions are already planning pageants, special ceremonies and reenactments of memorable conflicts of the War Between the States a hundred years ago. Since Jan. 1 falls on Sunday, the Centennial Commission said every church in the country will be asked to arrange special programs. Basketball Scores Morocco seeks French and Spanish withdrawal. U.
