Lena Home's Sound Doctrine Lena Home, internationally beloved actress, has come forward with some advice which no Negro in America can afford to ignore. She said: "No minority group in the country, within the past ten years, has made the advances scored by Negroes, and we would have made even greater advances if the Communists didn't deliberately try to confuse the issue and stir agitation. Communism offers nothing to the Negro and the United Stales offers everything," and then Miss Home gives this cogent warning: "If I could address young Negro performers, I'd warn them against allying themselves with Commie-front organizations; I'd warn them explicitly to resign immediately from, any organization infiltrated by. Commies and above oil, I'd warn them not topermit the use of their names on letterheads, until they check the sponsorship. The main thing for Negroes to do is to fight actively against Commies, not passively. That's what I intend to do from now on." That is sound and timely advice. And while there is little danger that many Negroes fall prey to Communism, some few are in actual danger. Thus right now Miss Home's advice should be heeded by those who are about to be sneered in by a questionable group, purported to be organizing in the interest of Negroes. It is the National Labor Union for Negroes, being called to meet in Detroit October 27. The AFL and the CIO both insist that the proposed organization is Communist-inspired and designed to exploit the Negro for the Communist benefit. The group spokesmen say that they anticipate 4,900 Negro union members to attend the two-day meeting. It is scheduled to be held at the former headquarters of the Hamilton County Communist Party. We hope and we believe that Negroes know better than to r cast their lot with this group. We have said if many times in the past but it will bear repeating: There is nothing that the Communists can secure for the Negro people in America which they cannot win without Communist help. Indeed as Miss Home has so well stated: No minority group has made the advances scored by Negroes, and we would have made even greater advances if the Communists had kept out of our affairs. Keep away from the Communists, they are interested in only one thing: capitalizing upon the sorrows and suffering of Negroes as a means of material gain and political propaganda. BACK IN MEMPHIS One Of The Finest, Smoothest Bonds Ever Bottled - And Of Course You Get It At THE STORE OF FINE LIQUORS 563 POPLAR AVENUE HEADLINES & BYLINES By SILAS P. WASHINGTON The Tennessee A. and I. State University has announced the organization of lour divisions, namely the school of arts and sciences, the school of education, the school f engineering and the Graduate school. However, no mention was made in this release of the establishment of a School of business. Yet busiin the life of the Negro that educators should strive to emphasize business train ing," said William O. Occomy in his column, "Business Review." October 13, 1951. The Subject of Negro business, or of businesses run by Negroes which ever it is. Is one on which a conversation has been held and one on which a great deal of ink has been used. Let it be understood at the outset that I. being only a layman, am not presumptuous enough to think that I Know ail of the answers. I do not, and neither do most "of the people, who speak and write with much finality on the subject. However, all agree that, in addition to not having enough business, that which we h&ve is managed improperly. For this reason, Dr. Prank Sweeney, former President of LeMoyne College, felt that, along with governmnt, economics should be stressed in a Negro College. He said, moreover, on many occasions that he considered government and economics basic needs for the advancement of the Negro. The present LeMoyne head. Mr H P. Price, be ing a student of business in general and of labor in particular, reels very much the same way. Even though my college major was different, a certain amount of business training was required of us because of its basic character. In addition,' my professor of economics at the Iowa State College tried to persuade me to take an additional course in econmics and at least one in finance Life's subsequent experiences have made me wish more than once that I had-followed his advice That is to say any life's experiences indicate the basic need of more and better training in business for our pepole. As I have said, I am not an expert in the field consequently I do not care to be as glib about the subject as those I condemn Yet, I do, on the other hand, feel that this gepqral observation should be made. There is entirely too mush snap Judgment on and over-simplificationof this complicated problem. In the realm of mathematics it is understood that two or more quantities cannot be compared unless they are of the same kind Two common fractin for example, cannot be compared unless they are first reduced to a common denomination Similarly, the performances in business of Negroes, Jews, Italians and Greeks cannot be fully and fairly compared on any sound basis of logic, for it is impossible to completely reduce them to a common denominator. No matter how you try to argue to the contrary, it cannot be done for the present at any rate. For instance, Occumy in his column implies as much when he writes: "And if, the Negro lacks such training he is doubly handicapped for unfortunately he lacks the financial resources which his competitors can and will draw open. THE HEALTH FORUM WORLD By R. EARL BLAND, M. D. Many of my readers would like to know how to reduce fat legs. This question 'is difficult to answer because few women provide all the essential details. After all enlargement may be a glandular or circuatory disturbance, infection or ordinary fat. Because obesity usually is associated with heavy legs, most women recognize this cause. Fewer calories and less salt often will take care of this problem. Exercising the lees may help to increase the tone of the muscles and improve the shape of the legs, but shifting fat from one area to another Is not as easy as we have been led to believe by those "utilizing" rolling pins, massage or vibrators. Lipedema a somewhat similar condition, is traceable to fatty deposits and the accumulation of fluid. The individual may be stout, but even if weight is lost the legs and buttocks remain the same. Swelling is accentuated by standing and walking, especially in warm weather. The majority of vic tims are women and both legs are involved. Although bed rest may decrease the size of the limbs they never return to normal proportions as does milk leg. The feet usually escape; the skin is soft and pliable, but pressure over the distended parts is painful. Many lipedema sufferers complain of aching of the enlarged parts, particularly during activity. The defect is not pleasant and may lead to anxiety and tension. Many are ashamed of their legs or feet, that their life is ruined because of their size. They wear long skirts and seldom If ever go to the beach. These women generally stand behind chairs at parties and rarely walk by a full length mirror without taking a peek at their legs. M. S. Writes: What is the effect of intoxication on a person subject to epilepsy? Dr. Bland will answer questions relating to health and hygiene in this column and by mall. He will not make diagnosis or prescribe for individuals. Enclose stamped,' selfaddressed envelope an address: R. Earl Bland, M. D.

Our motives are misunderstood, our words misconstrued, a frown or an unkind word reveals to us the unfriendly feelings of others. Our advances are repulsed or met with icy coldness and refusals are Issued in answer to our offers to help. Our hearts are not made of stone and we must sometimes give tent to our emotions. It is a rare person who can patiently bear inustices and have them leave the heart at the close of day. We can never really judge others because we may be measuring giants by out narrow gauges. A thoughtless sentence may destroy long years of friendship and many hearts are lonely for sympathy and a kind word. One is not necessarily wrong because he does not agree with me, it all depends upon the point of view. Three men were walking thru a forest one afternoon when they came to a steep hill, where a river could be seen in the distance. One man visualized a magnificent structure of stone and steel built across the river harnessing the water to generate electricity. Another saw the lazy river rolling landscape in technicolor, on canvass. The third man Imagined a stately mansion atop the hill with a curved three-laned driveway sweeping towards the river. Each man had the river in mind but the engineer, the artist and architect had varied points of view. Neither could be called wrong. So remember this wen, someone disagrees with you. He may be right, in his fashion. Let us be more tolerant draw a little nearer to one another and—be understood. Tenn. State Profs. Members Of AAUW Three Tennessee A. and I.

BY GRACE WATSON While marketing in a local grocery, I bumped into a neighbor, Mrs. Davis. We started, to chat about the weather and then to gripe about food prices. That led on-into a teal discussion, about food and feeding the family. Mr. Davis is an excellent and experienced homemaker, so naturally, I was listening for some food hints that I could, pass on to you. She was telling me how nutritious, economical and glamorous bread was, when we had to move on to relieve the congestion in the store. I was Impressed with the adjectives she used to describe bread, so I started to analyze her statement. Just how nutritious is bread? Bread and cereal are grain foods and are generally considered fuel foods because they are high in starch But actually the grain foods Supply-more—iron and more thiamine than de other food groups When breadstuff are-made with milk, they also constitute large cium. Although bread contains protein "complete" cannot be used as a meat substitute, but when bread is teamed with meat, milk, eggs, and cheese, it makes a wholesome combination. Bread is economical because many homemakers use it as a meat extender—bread crumbs in meat loaf, bread dressing for stuffing meats, poultry or fish, biscuts or toast cups as a base for creamed foods. When used this way bread makes it possible to reduce the size of meat servings and at the same time serve a nutritious meat-flavored dish. When I began to think in terms of bread being glamorous, my imagination wouldn't stretch very far. So I phoned Mrs. Davis and asked how did she glamorize her breadstuffs? She explained that she al ways use the "right" bread to add a touch of glamour, to her meals. For instance, she "uses hot brown bread to compliment baked beans; com bread topping-adds to the goodness of leftover chicken made into a pie; cheese biscuits make an interesting base for creamed chipped beef; blueberry muffins give a distintive touch to her fruit salad plate; hot garlic bread accents her spaghetti dinner; and tiny dump lings in a clear soup make a hearty garnish. Those are just a few of her combinations. Mrs. Davis is convinced that I know-how with breads make for more interesting meals at any income level.
