SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Year $5.00 — 6 Months $3.00 — 3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) A Stop Is Often A Period To Consider Sometimes a stale-mate or apparent failure affords one time to re-examine his equipment, to re-appraise his methods of attack and otherwise, inquire into whether in common fairness to himself that he at least has exerted the whole area of his available resource. Lamenting of the advantages taken by the opposite tides and ascribing them victors over one's efforts, does not contain the answer to one's problems. We write and talk every day about Democracy, its meanings, what it involves and its failures to immediately bring to all that fancied Utopia so nicely set out in its preambles. Retrospectively, let us inquire as to, whether we have done our duty to Democracy, under its concepts are provisions for such a government to appertain with the consent of the governed. When we realize the importance of any particular ingredient in a formula, we must come upon the sad realization that if any part of the whole is left out, the rest might be completely neutralized. Here is a government struggling to exist by the consent of the governed, with great numbers falling asleep at the gates of consent. Many of these are wilfull non-conformists, who never busy themselves about doing their portion of participating in the functions of government. There are citizens who pay their taxes and work hard for a living who never inquire about them to clear the dead weights strung around the neck of a Democracy striving to assert itself. We all want better streets, roadways, schools and the opportunity to run for and hold office just as other people enjoy. We want fair practice in employment and equal pay for our labor. We want equality, in representation in both city and state government without putting forth that vigorous effort known to crusaders all over the world, as the portion they paid for their liberties. What we need more today in education to the end that every vote less person is a handicap to free government and full representation at the table of privilege; that it is a duty incumbent upon us to look about and see if there are any mill-stones about the neck of that which we are imposing heavy demands. The Postman's Whistle There are those still among us who remember when a postman's whistle which he blew at almost every stop, was as much of his necessary equipment as his umbrella, his raincoat and his rubbers. No postman thought of leaving the post office without his whistle; in fact if a postman did not have a whistle he was not thought to be much of a postman. Now and then, the substitutes, or the men on the "extra board" would take out a route when a real postman was sick or on some kind of a leave, would attempt to carry a route without a whistle. But even these were accosted sometimes by old ladies leaning on the stairs with, "Where is your, whistle?" That whistle meant something in those days. The postman would come walking erect, with heavy bag flapping by his side, with mail in one hand and whistle in the other and the whole neighborhood understood that the postman was in the community. You bet one could set his clock by that whistle, that made history on the rounds of other days—"when neither rain nor snows stopped these couriers on their rounds." The whistle was a remnant of the old days when postal officials bore down in rigid measures the regulations surrounding Uncles Sam's delivery of the mail. If you had a letter for a postman in those days, you would have to have it ready and in hand The postman just passed, seizing the letter as he went, never losing a pace as he said that perfunctory—"good morning"—which at best, meant nothing. He dashed on to the next door, where he blew the whistle and dropped the mail, if the occupant had a letter to be mailed, this could be effected by running and catching the postman as he kept one hand behind him to take the letter if and when the runner overtook him. These old postmen, if they cared anything about pretty flowers, gardens and cute little grandchildren, kept it to themselves — no time to comment about the church supper, the big singing or who was building a new house. Little pretty girls cut no ice with them; they had to run to get their letters in the postman's hand like everybody else. Now and then a grateful sentimental old person could entice one to take a bite of her birthday cake, but as he took bites as he marched steadily along, he would blow the crumbs through the flues of his whistle. That whistle just had to be blown — that's all In those days it was a kind of a reflection to see a stooped over postman, with letters in his mouth, sack braced against a fence and fumbling his way around the community with no whistle strung from his mouth to light up the community with the signal that the postman was coming.

H is a pleasant little game that will give you a message every day. It is a numerical puzzle designed to spell out your fortune. Count the letters in your first name. If the number of letters is 6 or more, subtract 4. If the number is less than 6 add 3. The result is your key number. Start at the upper left-hand corner of the rectangle and check every one your key numbers, left to right. Then read the message the letters under the checked figures give you. Letter To The Editor The question has arisen time and time again what is the best course for the Negro to take in his present state of affairs? Should they build up a few big men to act as leaders, to pave the way for the future? Should men of large financial holdings and standing represent the Negro or should there be group action or organization to promote the best interest of the Negro? There are two distinct schools of thought on this subject; one is that we don't have freedom, because we don't have rich men in large numbers. Another thinking the same way said that the enomously rich men could hire a top flight lawyer and buy his freedom. Another said, money talks, and when you have money, everything comes your way. All that talk sounds very good, but it is not quite logical. First of all, the greatest benefactors, that the world have produced were not rich men, not all, but most rich men are selfish men. And for that reason it may be that they would not be too inclined to help those that need help. Let us look around and see if those who have most are too busy helping those who need. I think not. Through organization lies our salvation the mass and intelligent use of the ballot, action, in the right kind of organization, honesty then sincerity will lead us to the goal we seek. Senate Comm. Approved FEPC The Senate labor Committee, last week approved a bill to forbid discrimination in employment because of race, color, creed or ancestry. The action was taken by voice vote behind closed doors and approved by the committee in spite of the failure of President Eisenhower to endorse it. Sen. Lister Hill Democrat of Alabama, has been the one committee member who was outspoken against this legislation. In spite of the committee's action, it is not likely that the bill will pass in this session of Congress, although it is how on the calendar. The bill was sponsored by Sen. Irving Ives (R., N. Y.,) along with several liberal Democrats, Republicans, and an Independent. The measure purposes the establishment of a federal commission on equality of opportunity. Failure of employers to comply with the Commission's order could result in maximum penalties of $500 for each offense. In commenting on the committee action, Elmer Henderson, director of the American Council on Human Rights, said he was pleased with the favorable report on S652 and hopes that the sponsors will fight for its adoption on the floor and seek to overcome, filibuster. Clarence Mitchell, director of the Washington Bureau NAACP also expressed pleasure at the committee's action but hoped the action on this bill would not be confused with the anti-discriminaion amendment to the TaftHartley law. These are two separate and distinct measures. Both are exteremely important. The Quest by ELSIE MACK DALE started swimming away from Phil, out to the buoy. Halfway out she rested, floating motionlessly with her face up land bathed in sunshine. She would not think of Kelly... She circled the buoy and swam back. "Not bad." Phil said, climbing out and hauling her up on the deck. "Not bad at all, for a girl." "Thanks." she said. He grinned, "All my compliments today are gratis... About that phrase of your grandmother's, Dale. I think I'd enjoy being your young man." He stretched out close to her on the sun-hot cement. Dale did not move. Even When he kissed her lightly, she did not move. Then he put his hand firmly under her chin and turned her face to his. This kiss was real. Dale tell warmth rising in her pounding at her temples and pushing away thought until only feeling was left, Her whole body was alive and throbbing. "Dale," he whispered. The word brought a semblance of reason, and she realized that she was not only taking his kisses but giving them back. She stirred slowly in his arms. "Don't," she said, against his mouth. "Don't." "Why not?" But he let her go. You liked it, too. You did that other time, too, for all your pretense at anger. What's wrong with letting yourself feel an honest emotion?" She sat straight up. "I didn't Kiss you that night, it was Kelly I Kissed." He drew back from her, white to the ups. After a silence, he said softly, "You be honest," He linked his fingers around her ankle, tightened his grasp. time—a moment ago—was that for him, too?" She didn't answer. She pushed at his hand. "You're buring me." He let her go and then he saw the thin red streak around her ankle. "You've cut yourself." "Its only a scratch, from a thistle. He put his hand on her, gently this time. "I've made it bleed." "It's all She jerked her ankle away. He laughed softly and drew her to her feet, "Come on, I'll show you my swan dive.. Very graceful, U I do say so myself." But he clowned it on the springboard, crashed face first into the water, and came up grinning —and to Dale s enormous relief the mood of lightness was restored. The afternoon waned. The lake changed from turquoise to gray; the breeze from shore held the chill or oncoming night. Walking to the house for dinner, Phil tilted his head inquiringly toward the white clapboard cottage. "Who lives there?" Dale looked straight ahead. "No one." "I thought I saw a ghost creeping around the rosebushes." She whirled around, nostrils flaring, facing him on the narrow path. "You know very well that I lived there with Kelly!" "Yes. Your grandmother told me." His voice was flat. "She also said you hadn't been inside the house since his death. Why, Dale? Scared—or just being, dramatic?" She walked, on quickly, her head high. "It is none of your business." "All right," he agreed, "we won't talk about it. But I can't figure you out. Some challenges you meet head-on, others you run from like crazy. It's just a house, after all." She was ahead of him on the path, hurrying. Overgrown raspberry canes scratched her legs. "Don't bother trying to figure me out," she said. "Just let me alone." "How can I, if I'm going to be your young man?" "You're not," she said shortly. At dinner, Grandy commented on Dale's quietness. "She's mad at me," Phil said cheerfully, lowering his eyelids. "She's sulking." Grandmother looked surprised and solicitous "Dale never sulks." "Of course I don't!" Dale said furiously. "Tch-tch," ducked Phil. "Temper." Dale laughed. Phil the featherweight, Phil the Darby to any Joan, Phil the fool. It was not possible to take him seriously, or to remain angry with him. Why let his remarks disturb her? After dinner, they played Grandy's favorite martial recordings on the radio-phonograph. "The Army," Grandy remarked, tapping a brisk toe to the beat, "is recruiting musicians, I heard over the adio. They're asking specifically for bagpipes." Dale winked at Grandmother and said to Phil "Grandy puts the bagpipes in the same category as the piano and the violin. In terms of artistry, he says a real good bagpiper has at least the stature or a Rubenstem or a Heetz. Just lump the bagpipe with the harmonica or the kazoo, and see how defensive Grandy becomes!" "Do you play the pipes, sir?" Phil asked "That I do! Want I should play em for you?" He looked over at Dale triumphantly. "In the closet Dale. Under my raincoat." Dale grinned at Phil. "You asked for it, my boy, With that tone of respect!" At least, Dale thought, Phil was a good sport. The old man, once started, played on and on the wail of the pipes gay and sad and hunting Long, after she and Grandmother were in bed, the and drifted up, filling the confines of the house. A little of Grandy's performance went a long way, but once started on his repertoire, there was no stopping him. Thinking of Phil downstairs with Grandy, Dale pulled the bedcovers over her head and gave herself up to laughter. At breakfast. Phil said in an aside to Dale. "Why didn't you tell me how to atop him? I didn't get to bed till daylight... But I like that old man of yours." he added. He grinned ruefully, "Nearly cracked my eardrums, though! Scotch blood in him, is there?" "Not a drop." said Dale innocently. "He won those bagpipes on a lucky two-bit ticket at a country fair." Phil Clapped his hands over his ears. "Merciful heaven," he groaned. Alter breakfast, he said casually, "Are you coming back with me?" "Of course she is," Grandy said. He was standing by the window, packing tobacco into his pipe, "She just came home to catch her breath." He turned, his eyes stern. "Didn't you, Dale?" She smiled wryly, "Yes, Grandy." Phil threw, up his hands "You mean I don't have to bully you!" "Grandy already has," Dale said. "Another Aggie, him?" "I Dale said. But she went over to the window and kissed the whitehaired old man lightly. "You really do browbeat me," she said. He caught her hand. "Come back, it you lose your bearings again." But he didn't say, "Come along," she said to Phil. "We might as well get started". Shortly after they left the village and were bowling along the highway, Phil turned on the radio. "Music?" he asked Dale. "Or a newscast? There should be one somewhere, on the hour." Dale glanced at her wrist and pressed a button on the dashboard With five in a row, why that particular one? she asked herself after wards. Did some power that predestines events intend her to be influenced by a reported incident which, out for a fingertips random choice, she might never have known?

BY GRACE WILLIAMS The word budget somehow has become one of the most disturbing words in our vocabulary. Even President Eisenhower and his cabinet of experts are having trouble with it However, it is possible with a little planning to make your food budget docile and peaceful. First or all, one of the things that will cause budgettrouble is impulses buying when you are at the market. Plan ahead, make a list of all the things you need. Remember, that even the economic experts plan ahead and itemize the things for which money is to be spent. Of course, on special days like birthdays and anniversaries, you can plan on those extras but in just every day shopping, don't be tempted by items you do not need. Keep your meals simple. It will be easier on you and well prepared foods, well served will be the result. Furthermore, fancy foods not only upset the food budget but are usually extra-rich and upset your caloric budget, too. A meat substitute once a week helps to balance the budget, too. Use cheese or eggs or both, and milk, in main dishes. There is no waste in these foods and you know that their protein is just as valuable as that in meat. Another budget-worthy subject is left-overs. You can make small amounts of meat, fish, and poultry go further by using them in creamed dishes, casseroles made with milk or by use of milk gravy. Take little "dabs" of meat add inexpensive celery onions, noodles or macaroni and you will have a dish that is appetizing, nourishing, yet low in cost. Milk is the answer when using leftovers. This week's recipe Kidney Bean Rarebit is a good example of how you can combine simple inexpensive foods with milk and cheese and "Come-Up" with a dish that is good and hearty. With the Kidney Bean Rarebit we serve a tossed vegetable salad, apple pie, milk and tea and crusty bread with butter if you like. 2 tablespoons butter 1-2 cup minced onion 2 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon salt 1-8 teaspoon pepper 1 cup milk 1 ½ cups grated American cheese 2 cups cooked Kidney beans Melt butter in saucepan; add onion and cook over low heat until tender. Gradually add milk and cook until thick and smooth, Stirring constantly. Fold in cheese and stir until melted. Add beans and serve on toast. Serves 6. Pastor Dedicates $75,000 Church In Atlantic City Rev. Russell A. Roberts, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church here, last week presided over services marking the dedication of that edifice recently remodeled at at a cost of $75,000. Some 1,000 persons attendod the services. Rev. Roberts, who is also director of "Faith Crusade." an interracial, non-sectarian religious movement has not, only been credited with spearheading the remodeling of the church, but likewise is noted for his efforts in instituting other social and civic projects for the benefits of its members. Under his leadership at Shiloh a Medical Plan paying part of the medical expenses for sick members has been set up. He also instituted a free transportation system for handicapped members a scholarship plan for students unable to pay their way through college and a Burial Plan. Renovation of the Shiloh church include a $3000 kitchen installation of an inter communication system and beautification of the interior. The exterior of the church was remodeled in colonial style. Getting Along Of all the monuments man has erected to his stupidity, the slums of the big cities and the inadequate housing accommodations in the smaller cities are by far the most noticeable. From the smallest hamlet to the largest city the condition is the same. There are simply not enough decent places for people to live. No doubt there are many reasons why this state of affairs exists, and different sections of the earth afford different reasons at various times. In some sections political maneuverings prevent capital from being interested in erecting new buildings. One of the best examples of this is in France. France is supposed to have the worst slums of any modern country. The chief reason for this is that rents were frozen in 1914 and the politicians have not allowed rents to increase enough so that more buildings could be constructed. For years French people paid only one percent of their income for rent. Americans pay from 25 to 30 percent, of their income for rent and that is one of the reasons why Americans are the best housed people on earth. If people with money in France felt that they could mike a fair return, they would invest in housing. One could hardly expect insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions to risk money in undertakings that would be unprofitable. Although regulations are not as hard to America for the landlord, still injustices occur, here for both landlord and tenant. One of the greatest handicaps to adequate housing in America is lack of consideration on the part of many tenants. When buildings are in bad repair, it isn't always the owner's fault. When garbage is on the side walks and in the courtyards, it is invariably the fault of some tenant. When halls are dirty, windows and plaster broken and rubbish accumulated in passage ways, it is seldom the owner of the building who created the condition. And when the owner of the building knows who is guilty of violating his property it is often hard to prose cute. In Small towns, property owners have difficulties, too. One family we heard of, chopped the back porch from their rented home and used it for fire wood. And they always had myraid excuses for not paying the rent. Any time an emergency exsited in this family, they were unable to pay the man who furnished them, protection from the elements. Poor housing Conditions result from ruthless property owners, unfair laws covering buildings, and destructive and inconsiderate tenants. It is hard to tell where the greatest responsibility lies.

S. delegation to the tenth Inter-American conference gave its support yesterday— within limitations imposed by the constitution — to a Panamanian resolution against racial discrimination. U. S. Delegate Henry F. Holland said the United States, within the limits of its constitution, would support the resolution in accordance with the promise made by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles before he returned to Washington. Foreign Minister Guillermo Toriello of Guatemala, which has been accused of falling under Communist influence, backed the anti-discrimination part of the resolution but said he could not agree to that par dealing with Communism. Guatemala earlier introduced a resolution urging that economic boycotts among the American states be barred. The resolution also asked an end to special concessions and privileges to foreign capital through spe cial contracts, and that industrialized countries buying raw materials eliminate all trade restrictions designed to keep prices and production at low levels. The Guatemalan resolution further proposed expropriation, of idle, lands and their, transfers to landless farmers. It was believed one of the things that promoted the Guatemalan resolution was the recent appeal by U. S. Representative Donald L. Jackson (R) Calif., for a halt in purchase of Guatemalan coffee. Guatemalan, lone dissenter among the states at the Caracas Conference to the U. S. Anti-Communist resolution, has started expropriation measures against large tracts of United States fruit company lands. Council To Direct War Against Mau Mau Driver A council of four members will direct the war against Africans who are sworn to drive whites from East Africa, Oliver Lyttelton, British Colonial Secretary, announced here Wednesday, March 10. The council will consist of Governor Evelyn Baring of Kenya, General George Erskine, British commander in East Africa; Sir Frederick Crawford, Deputy Governor, and a Minister. Mr. Lyttelton said the chief instrument of government will be a new 16-member council of ministers, which will include in its membership two Asians and two Africans. This will be the first time that an African in East or Central Africa has been given an executive post. "This is the beginning of providing a multi-racial foundation for the government of Kenya," said Mr. Lyttelton. "My proposals also represent on advance from total to partial official government." Total government, he said, had outlived itself. Under such government the people of Kenya, have and only, one way of expressing themselves politically—by opposition to the government. Answering the criticism of white settlers that it is highly inopportune to form a multiracial government during the emergency, Mr. Lyttelton said: "This is at once the worst, and the best moment to start an experiment in multi-racial government. It was an attempt to close the ranks." He dismissed the proposal to set up a war cabinet as a "wholly impossible set-up. It would taverse my responsibilities and those of the Secretary of State for War. I have tried to get at the idea behind the war cabinet in the establishment of a war council." MULTI-RACIAL.

McCollum Case husband of the convicted woman who died the day after her arrest. McCollum, an alleged Bolita (number's game) operator, reportedly had $83,000 in a suitcase when he left Live Oak. Cannon said it contained only $47,000 after his death. McCollum also left an estate valued at nearly $140,000— most of it in bank deposits and life insurance. Capital Spotlight string along with Montague on any issue. Incidentally, the issue in the District of Columbia school segregation case, now pending in e Supreme Court, is not whether the Jim Crow schools here are equal to those for white children, or whether colored children are afforded equal educational opportunities. The Sole issue is whether under the Fifth Amendment, segregated public schools here, are unconstitutional. All the debate over whether the schools are equal is academic. George Hayes and Jim Nabrit, attorneys in the D. C. case, conceded, for purposes of argument that the schools were equal in order to get a clear-cut decision oh the segregation issue. Hayes and Nabrit knew what, they were doing.
