Woodson's Memorial Rites
Simultaneous with the observance of Negro History
Chicagoans are preparing to honor the memory and
works of Carter G. Woodson with a Memorial Service next
Sunday afternoon, February 11. The services, of course, will
pay-tribute to the life of Dr. Woodson as the pioneer in the
study of Negro culture and the Founder of the Association
for the Study of Negro Life and History.
That is as it should be. For no man has done so much to
create An interest in or worked harder than Dr. Woodson
to spread the gospel of Negro achivement, both on the printed 
pages of American history and in the hearts and minds
of Negroes and whites alike. Indeed, it can be said with
certainty that he devoted his entire life to this work and
wrote with a great passion on the achievements Negro made
to this and other cultures. Because of him therefore, the
place of the Negro in the American scheme and culture is
recognized not merely among historians but white southerners 
as well.
Thus, it is a credit to the good judgment of Negroes
to preface any service observing Negro History Week this
year with a fitting memorial to Mr. Woodson, the pioneer.
Negro History Week begins this afternoon and
continues through February 18. It proves therefore, not only
a rich opportunity to honor the memory of Dr. Woodson and
others of our heroes of by gone days, but it gives us an opportunity 
to pay due recognition to our present day heroes, who
are making history on the battlefield; in the departments
of State and Church and along a broad and increasing horizon. 
In a very real sense, Negroes are writing history today
before our very, eyes and it will be facetious to spend the
entire week harking back at our men and women of achievement 
of yesteryears to the exclusion of our leaders of the
present day. This year let the schools and colleges, the
churches and the club groups, in observing the week, as we
should do, attempt to link the past with the present. Let us
remember that Mary Church Terrell was great and will remain 
a shining light for many generations to come, but that
Mary McLeod Bethune has contributed and continues to
contribute to the rich lore of Negro achievement and continues 
to be an inspiration to white and colored youths
alike.

SHORT TALKS
By


These words were spoken by a
recent visitor in our city–Dr.
Smiley Blanton, an eminent psychiatrist. 
He emphasized the fact

that there has never been safety in
this world of ours. The strong has
always tried to swallow up the
weak; tribes, nations, races and
creeds have always waged war
against each other. Even nature
has not been kind; man has had
to combat inclement weather and
above normal temperatures; cyclones 
and floods; angry, volcanos
and earthquakes; swamps and
desserts; wild beasts and pestilences. 
Life hat, never heen easy
and we are reasonably sure that it
never will.
In a world filled with dangers on
every hand, fears and dismay,
where then, may we find peace? In
another talk, I made the statement
that it can come only from within
Doctor Blanton gave several psychiatric 
reasons for our not experiencing 
the desired peace of
mind many of which can be traced 
to infancy and early childhood,
It would be fatalistic to suppose
that these blocks, inhibitions and
complexes could not be cured, or
the proper adjustment made.
There is no essentially evil side
to man; what is evil can be changed 
to good. Our visitor cited the
example of the Apostle Paul's conversion 
while enroute to Jerusalem
to persecute the church. The same
energy that previously worked for
evil was redirected for good. This
can be true in the experiences of
any man.

U. N. Troops Take

they moved into Seoul's industrial
suburb of Yongdungpo, shouted to
each other:
"Where are the commies?"
The same question was asked at
inchon the battered port city so
heavily shelled by the UN fleet's big
guns, and at Kimpo airfield, best in
Korea. Mines formed the only opposition 
at both places. But on the
mountainous central front. Red opposition 
continued heavy with Chinese 
and North Koreans counterattacking. 

Thousands of enemy troops, possibyl 
the main Red forces from the
Seoul area, were also spotted moving 
northeast near Chipyong, some
33 miles east of the capital at the
western, fringe of the central front,
A front dispatch said these Reds
were retreating along a main lateral 
road from Seoul and were attacked 
from the air.
A patrol of South Korean troops
drew the honor of being the first
to re-enter their capital, abandoned
without a fight to the Reds the
first week in January. They crossed 
the ice into Seoul meeting a
brief flareup of small arms fire in
the outskirts but not a shot was
fired as the patrol penetrated in
the city.
After darkness fell both the enemy
and UN forces exchanged probing
patrols across the Han.

Mrs. Haynes,

life of the people."
Mrs. Haynes, speaking in the
philosophical vein which characterizes 
her weekly column, Short
Talk, concluded her charge to the
young women:
"The college woman, having studied 
the history, literature, art,
and science accumulated and transmitted 
to us by the scholars of the
past, should be prepared in our
troubled times to diagnose and prescribe 
with some degree of disdom
a remedy for some of the ills that

so beset the modern world. Looking
forward to a life of ease is no the
correct concept."
Mrs. Johnetta Walker Kelso
former regional director of the
sorority, stated the occasion by reviewing 
the highlights of Alpha
Kappa Alpha's growth since its
founding at Howard University. She
told of some of the major projects
which the sorority, has sponsored,
including the health program for
under-privileged, children in Mississippi: 
and the Non-Partisans
Committee predecessor of the present 
American Council on Human
Rights.
Other participants on program included 
the college students who are
members of the undergraduate chapter. 
They were Sorors Joyce
Broome, Florence Marsh, who presented 
the speaker; and Soror Modene 
Nichols, who made the presentation 
of the chapter's gift to the
music department.

PLANS FOR NEW "Y" BUILDING BROUGHT DE-
UGHT TO C. R. LAWRENCE; DIRECTORS—
One of
the happy moments for the late Charles R. Lawrence, 
Sr., executive secretary of Lauderdale
Branch YMCA, and his directors was when they
met "Y" leaders of the Central Office to discuss
with Honorable Abe Scharff, benefactor, and
contractors plans for expansion of facilities for
Negroes at lauderdale and Lincen.
Mr. Lawrence passed last Saturday noon
before realization of his dream to see new gymnasium-auditorium 
with dormitory facilities completed 
but through his tireless efforts to collect
back pledges, and raise "new money" Memphis
Negro citizenry will become heir to this monumental 
project. The late secretary is shown left
end, and seated next to him was the then chair
man 
of the Board, M. W. Bonner, now resident
of Cleveland. Prof. B. T. Hunt, right end, is the
new board chairman, and one of the top fundraising 
campaign workers for the branch.
Others in the picture are Secretary Earle
Whittington, head of Central YMCA Headquarters; 
Branch Directors E. L. Woshburn, L. O.
Swingler, J. T. Chandler, E. P. Nabors, and Dr.
C. M. Roulhac . . . along with Mr. Scharrf whose
contributions of over $100,000 have made the
present construction work of the new building
possible; Wallace Johnston, well known developer 
of housing projects, and director of the Metropolitan 
YMCA; and the contractors.
Picture was taken at. Central YMCA Building 
on Madison Street during early spring of
last year.

Dr. Bunche

the United Nations is in existence
a avert conflict, there will be war
everywhere."
Dressed in a sort grey doublebreasted 
suit, Dr. Bunche sat behind 
his desk in his second floor office 
in the UN's temporary headquarters. 

A big man, Dr. Bunche rested
easily in his swivel chair, his back
to the window, and answered questions 
in a soft, clear voice.
The office reflected little of the
personality of the man behind the
desk. A chart showing the organization 
of the United Nations, two
bookcases packed with mimeoeraphed 
documents and a few books and
a row of green filing cases.
The Nobel prize winner's attention 
centered mainly on his connection 
with the trusteeship division
of which he is principal director,
and which is now here in session.
The trusteeship council has as
wards 20,000,000 of the 150,000,000
dependent colonial peoples of the
world. Made up of representatives
from 11 countries, the council, Dr.
Bunche explained, by investigating
and recommending solutions for
problems in the various colonies,
can head off unrest that might become 
incidents for another war.
"The enlightened attitude of the
countries in the trusteeship council
and the machinery provided for
the first time in history by this
council," he said, "gives independent,
nations a chance to meet colonial
problems before they become a
source of international irritation.
"The trusteeship system is much
further advanced than was that of
the mandate or protectorate system. 

"Under this system dependent
peoples can come directly before the
sounctl and plead their case without
going to their home governments."
The United Nations through the
trusteeship Council has acted as "a
mid-wife" in the birth of the free
nation of Libya, Dr. Bunche said,
and has given a "positive promise
of independence" to Somaliland.
"The United Nations services in
Palestine, Kashmir, and even in Korea," 
Dr. Bunche added, "proved
the effectiveness of the organization 
as an instrument for peace."
