Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, chairman of the executive committee of the Insti tute for Religious and Social Studies fellowship, told the mem bers last week in his report: “The institute is 10 years old, ® as you know, this year. It was founded in order to meet the problems of bigotry and of preju dice upon a level where it was not dealt with. A good many levels, not only racial but re ligious, are being dealt with most satisfactorily. There was one area where this problem was not being met, that is, the inability of lack of opportunity of intellectual leaders among the various faiths getting together for cooperative thinking. I am enthusiastic about this Institute for Religious and Social studies, because it is tack - ling this problem upon that high er level. To date Dr. Charles S. Johnson • of Fisk university, Dr. Ira DeA. Reid of New York university and Dr. Robert Weaver have been prominent Negro leaders appear ing as guest speakers on “The Costs of Discrimination to the United States: The Domestic Scene,” an “UNESCO—Builder of Intercultural Bridges.” Negro citizens have given a good account of themselves in every one of America’s wars, according to the Britannica Junior. Of World War II President Johnson of Fisk university, writes: “Throughout the war there was a wider use of “* Negro troops in the army, navy, marine corps, coast guard and air corps of the nation’s military or ganization than ever before. In 1944 about 500,000 were in the armed forces of the United States. ’ Sunday^ SsdwoL v 3VAADJtL By Rev. R. E. Handy. Subject: “When we work with God.” Scripture: 2nd Cor. 5:20 to 6:10. Heb. 11. Golden Text: “We are la bourers together with God.” 1st Cor. 3:9. • Application To be acquainted with God, only a little bit, to realize His great love for you. It causes a strong desire to go into the world and work for Him. When hearts are yielded to His will, there is planted in them an intense desire to see others know Him too. We are reconciled to God through Jesus Christ; and Christ died for all mankind. He needs laborers to get the message to the world. As we are called one by one we realize that He has no loving hearts, no tongues to speak, no hands to write, no peo ple to plead but ours, who know Him. Gladly we say: “Here am I, send me. There are various kinds of la borers. Some work in a careless manner, their eyes on the clock and when the day is finished, rush to get their pay. If the work is carelessly done they are not concerned. Let the owner lo^k out for that. But there are other workers who each day, think how well they can perform their tasks, not so much for the pay as for the satisfaction of a perfect score. Beloved; all Christians work for God. Yes at the end of your life, your reward is sure. God said so. His promises are sure. Think not of the reward, at life’s end. Work. Use your knees to see what God will have you do. Spread the gospel. Each day you meet some one who knows not God in the pardon of his sins. Tell him of the love of Jesus. You have a friend in a distant city who is lost. Write him and tell him how h^ can find himself. Someone in your own home is destitute and heart broken. Plead with them to ac cept Jesus, the only joy for a sad world. Loving hearts will do these things when their eyes are opened and they see the need. You will be a laborer for God then and your reward will be great. Scare Makes Hollywood Drop Carver Film Plans HOLLYWOOD. (ANP). Fright ened by the Thomas-Rankin un American committee and its inves tigation of communistic activities, Hollywood film executives have dropped their plans to shoot the life story of Dr. George Wash ington Carver, noted scientist. The film was under consideration by Dore Schary, executive producer of “Crossfire,” the sensational pic ture which hits race and religious prejudice. This action is in line with pre SMITH BROTHERS Good Coal and Everything to Build with. 2341 No. 48 Phone 6-2527 ROSE MANOR STUDIO 1029 Rose Street Phone 3-2046 Portraits by Appointment George Randol, P.

The army is seeking qualified Negroes to enlist in the ground forces, technical services and airborne troops, according to an announce ment made this week. A total of 6,318 volunteers are being sought for three, four or five year enlistments. To qualify for entrance, men with previous military service, a decoration of valor and a high school education must score 13 or more in the army test. Others must make 17 oy higher. dictions made following the re cent hearings that the film capi tal would back away from any plans to show Negroes in a more favorable light on the ground that such pictures were “communist inspired.” One of the characteristics of a good leader is to recognize that the interests of a group are more important than the interests of an individual member of the group. It is this trait of charac ter which counts so powerfully in making M. K. Gandhi the ef fective leader in India. Lotman's Grocery 1945 R Street Meats and Vegetables PRESTO . . .

Recently I read the following sentences spoken by Booker T. Washington concerning the Negro: “Educate him, give him char ' acter, and make him efficient as a labourer, and every other por tion of the community will be lifted higher. Degrade the Negro, hold him in peonage, ignorance, or any other form of slavery and the great mass of people in the community will be held down with him. It is not pos sible for one man to hold an other man down in the ditch without staying down there with him.” Those are immortal words— words that have been repeated over and over again. America is beginning to realize degree by de gree the truth in those statements. We are beginning to realize that if one tenth of our nation exists in ignorance, our nation will suf fer accordingly. Negroes all over the United States are rising 'To the call for greater education. They realize that education is power. A well educated person is a Christian. He is a person who continuously fights for the masses. It was very difficult for our fore-parents to get a good educa tion, as far as actual schooling is concerned, but the youth of today must rise to the call. To me, today, a Negro youth, with all of these opportunities at hand, who wastes time, wastes tax-payers money, forsakes edu cation for very insignificant rea sons, and is not interested at all in the progress of his fellow man, lacks something very important, Negro youth—and Negro adults, who have the opportunity, wake up, finish that high school educa tion for Lincoln needs scores of brilliant young minds of the Negro! Right here in the city of I Lincoln, in spite of prejudices, there is golden opportunity for people with stick-to-it-ness, grit, and stamina. Have you got what it takes? If not, go to school and get it. AN SWER THE CALL. Research projects in science and education are under way in some 40 institutions in the search for a solution of the mysteries of polio myelitis.
