ONE LEGGED POLITICIANS We will admit that self preservation is the first law of nature, but the thinking Black man is tired of this worn out political machinery fostered by some of the pol itic; ; leader.- of our group who betray and misrepresent thei iVid. a worker in order to build up their own political background. Recently it has been strikingly noticeable, the -called political leaders staging the old role of de mar ding representation and constitutional rights, and turn out to be "purchasable leaders”. The politician and office seeker should use a little common sense in finding out how main followers these self-styled breadline politic ian have. They should demand them to do the same as all races and gro ips do,—secure their pro-rata of employ ment and preserve their constitutional rights. Demand ih i;. -<g up an organization of their own ana furnish the necessary finance to operate the organization in in terest of the candidate that they claim they are so con cerned to see elected to an office. It is the desire of every American Negro to see cap able Negroes in official positions where they may de mand their rights, but not for Negroes who will sell their race body and soul for a few paltry dollars. ANOTHER PRO-PARKER SENATOR DEFEATED The primary election with its surprises and upsets of political dope is still the topic of interest where ever the political-minded meet. Several reasons are given for the result, but of course the main cause was those whb failed, did not get enough votes. This may not seem wise but tLie -object in its analysis comes to this point. Bpt we may draw some lessons from this contest. Our Ne leaders overlooked the winner and divided their forc es betw ,-en Shortridge and Crail. Mr. Tubbs is under no obligation for their support in the primary, but he will net l this united support in the November election. The close margin of Tubbs’ lead brings out the conclusion had the Negro vote been cast solid for Shortridge, he would have been nominated, and that the NAACP. has another Parker Senator’s scalp. The Prohibition was a determining factor and that this State is debatable ground on this great social experiment, this is demonstrated bv the surprising showning of Bob Shuler. Chester Rowell sizes up the situation as a paradox in which a “predomin-» antly dry vote, in dominant party, nominated the wetest candidate on its list. The Rev. Bob, who received more votes than anybody else, was the only aspirant to any of fice who had ever been formally declared a public nuis ance and officially suppressed as such. Evidently some 300,000 people in California, most of whom must have heard his scurrilous radio abuse of all and sundry, did not regard him in that light.” If this freak breaks into con gress he won’t be lonely as there are others. Fred Roberts seems to be invincible, he scores again. LEARN HOW TO WALK An extremely important phase of the automobile accident problem is carlessness or ignorance on the part of the pedestrian. During 1931, pedestrian deaths reach ed 14,500 out of a total of 34,400 deaths caused by auto mobiles, and the number of pedestrians injured non-fat alh was 300,000. Consequently, if we are to make defin ite progress in reducing deaths and injuries, we must teach the public to walk. In the case of the walker on the highway at night, the old rule of “Keep to the right” may be suicidal—the left side is the right side. Wearing dark clothing increas es the hazard because of its invisibility. Weather condi tions are all important, and at the hour between light and darkness, when the pedestrian tends to blend into the background ar*l figuratively disappear, he must be ex tremely careful, inasmuch as the driver may not be able to see him at all, and hence cannot take care of him. Carlessness in crossing streets, stepping suddenly out from between parked cars, walking around the end of a street car into traffic and thoughtlessness and abstrac tion regarding traffic lights, court disaster. If pedestrians can learn “good walking practices”, deaths and injuries from automobiles will be reduced. PRACTICAL ROAD BUILDING The most expensive roads are those who do not serve their communities well. By the same token, the most economical roads are those which best suit local conditions, whether they cost three thousand dollars a mile or thirty thousand. At this time many states, cities and counties doubt less consider dropping much of their road work as an eco nomy measure. This is a mistake—almost any other government function and maintenance has been one of the most vital factors in fighting distress and unemploy ment the past three years. And remember this—every road dollar which we spend, so long as it is spent wisely after due study of conditions, will return continuous div idends in the future. It will do this by improving busi ness conditions, encouraging tourist travel, and broaden ing the markets and opportunities for agriciultural sec tions. Good secondary roads, which are weatherproof, skidproof and long-wearing, can be built with oil or as phalt surfaces, for less than five thousand dollars a mile. These make perfect feeder arteries for connecting towns and farming areas with the cross-country superhighways. They have been termed the “food” roads of the nation— a title they eminently deserve. The good roads movement has been one of the most progressive phases of the twentieth century. The nec essity of facilities for fast, economical and year-round transport can hardly be exaggerated. And roads will play an even greater part in the future of America than they have in the past. KILLING THE WORK HORSE A good many politicians seem to believe that the way to solve unemployment is to levy more taxes on the industries which, if a permanent and sound prosperity is to be achieved, must provide the jobs. They figure that the way to get more work out of a horse is to load him so heavily that he is unable to move out of his tracks! The people must realize that it is from prosperous industries that they secure emplovment, and not from industry-killing politicians and taxation. THEN AND NOW Those who denounce the privately owned electric industry would do well to give little thought to conditions today as compared with those of twenty or thirty years ago. Those were the days of small local plants. Many of them were municipally owned. It was common to have service during only a few hours a day. It was also common to have service shut down, due to mechanical trouble, during the hours it was most needed. According to modern standards, rates were extraordinarily high and plants were amazingly inefficient and wasteful. La*ge industries could settle only in large cities, inasmuch as the service in the smaller towns was too uncertain to be trust ed. Today the average small town is served by private ly owned electric system which may extend into several states and serve thousands of other communities and mil lions of persons. Interruption of service is practically unknown, and when it does occur, due to storms or some unusual disturbance, it is remedied with amazing prompt ness, often in the face of seemingly insurmountable ob stacles. Service is given twenty-four hours a day. Ef ficiency prevails. Rates are so low as to be an almost hid den item in the family budget. Great industries are leav ing the large cities and settling inrural areas where the problem of taxation and space are less pressing. And they have the assurance that the power service they will get in a village of five hundred will be just as good as in a city of five million. It will be hard to convince the average person that this could have been done under government ownership. European countries, where government utilities have been uppermost, have lagged far, far behind us. When politics, with all its inefficiency and patronage, comes into a business a high standard of service customarily goes out. A POLITICAL CROSSROADS The Negro is at the political crossroads, he is to choose between an administration that has courted the South and ignored and humiliated him, with an indiffer ence bordering on brutality. There can be no excuse for this treatment, only on the ground that white Republic ans believe the Negro will vote the Republican ticket re gardless of the issues involved. The Democratic Party hates the Negro because of the belief that the Negro is hopelessly Republican. While not advocating falling into any particular party, but once established that Negro voters respond to live issues, instead of dead traditions. We will be respected in the Republican party and “lily whiteism” will be a thing of the past and with it go the white primary. We have the means in our hands to put our enemies on the spot, if we but use our votes intelli gent. But so long as our leaders are willing to be hu miliated and scorned, then kiss the hand that smites them, who are the rank and file to lookto for guidance and leadership? * Let us reverse that old adage: ‘‘A white man never forgets an insult; An Indian never forgets an injury; The Negro forgets both.” Let our slogan be the Negro never forgets. HOUSEHOLD HINTS (by The Modern Priscilla Art & Study Club) To clean the ice box, one that is' lined with porcellein,—nse a warm soda solution and rinse with clear water. This should be done twice a week. Will keep the ice box sweet and fresh. Most people when they fry fish usually throw the grease a way. To avaoid this waste, peal an irish potato, cut in small pieces and brown in the fish fryings. This will take away the fish smell and may be used for an us ual frying. “KEEP THE WELL CHILD WELL” A Story of What Happened When We Let The Child Go on His Own " I (by The Visiting Nurse Ass’n. of Omaha) If your child looks well, acts well, eats well, sleeps well, and is well, do you see any reason why his daily program should be su pervised? When the nurse sug gests that we make a record of his health program, have you ever thought the suggestion un necessary, probably even a bit foolish? Well, if you have thought that, you are not alone. Not so many years ago, even Health Organiz ations thought the same thing. But listen to the story of what really happened right here in the United States—a discovery that changed many people’s minds a bout what to do with the well i child. Most of you know why we have j Baby Stations, don't you? Baby' Stations are not for the sick bab ies; they are for the WELL bab ies; they are intended to help the parents keep these well babies well. For many years, Health Organizations have been holding Baby Stations all over the coun try, from one coast to another. What has been the result? At the age of two years, hundreds and hundreds of perfectly fine | splendid children have been grad uated from these Baby Stations every year. Can’t you just see them, these little two-year olds, the finest lot of children you could find anywhere—plump, rosy-cheeked, with perfect teeth, happy, playful, never sick? And how proud we parents and health workers were of them; how proud of the good joh we had done. They were so fine that all of us thought that there was not another thing we could do to improve them. And so not an other thing did we do for them— not until they were almost five years old and ready to go to school. That was three years later. Then we had them exam ined to see if they were “all right for school”. What do you suppose we found what do you suppose these hun dreds and hundreds of fine, hap py, perfectly well two-year olds looked like after those three years had passed? Can you make a guess? Well, this is what we found—and all over the United States too. Instead of the fine happy, perfectly well group of two year olds, we found that eight out of every ten children had something definitely wrong with them! Some had had ton sils: some had enlarged glands: there were running ears; many had decayed teeth; a large num ber was underweight; some had defective posture; many were nervous, cross, irritable; most were taking colds easily and sick frequently. What a sad, sad, picture when compared with the splendid, happy, healthy group they were three years earlier! And why was this so? Just be cause we all wrongly thought that those little children were so fine at two years of age that “there wasn’t anything else for us to do” But why didn’t the parents see what was happening, you mav ask? Chiefly (because it usual ly takes a long, long time for the results of had health habits to SHOW. It is not until a great deal of damage has been done that we see the outward signs of it. To prevent the same situation happening agin is the reason for our Pre-school Conferences. Reg ular supervision of our children’s health program will give no chance whatever of their slipping down slowly into Danger Valley. This is the ONLY way we can he sure of their staying on top of Safety Hill, if they are not right on the very top of Safety Hill, bring them to Pre-school Confer ence where we will work Vmt to gether the best health program we can for your children to get to the top of Safety Hill as fast as they can—and once there, con tinue their health program every dav so that we can KEEP them the finest, healthiest, happiest children it is possible for children to be.
