THE BLIND MAN (Dedicated to Mr. Dixon) Early one morn as he journeyed along The blind man was whistling a song, A hymn of faith and hope, His heart and soul in every note, “Just as I am, without one plea”. When I heard the mournful melody, I recalled the well known line, “Just as I am, poor, wretched and blind” Yet, to the world he was revealing With such a depth of feeling In his heart and soul there is a song Praising God as he travels along. When Christ dwells in us and we in Him A glimpse of heaven can be seen, For in His great love we find Sight, riches and healing of the mind Through eyes of faith he can see The veil shall be lifted some day Until then he shall sing and pray, ‘Just as I am, without one plea, Dh, Lamb of God, I come to Thee”. 1 Myrtle M.

Call JA-7036 I Alpha Phi Alpha Launches Four Point Educational Program The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity launched on Sunday, April 28, an at tack on four fronts against America’s shameful treatment of her Negro pop ulation, according to a statement is sued by Professor Rayford W. Logan, of Atlanta University, the fraternity’s national director of education. EDUCATION FOR CITIZENSHIP is now the fraternity’s major objective By citizenship is meant nothing less than full participation everywhere by the Negro in effective political organ izations, and in the holding of elective and appointive offices- This message is being carried to the public through newspapers, the radio, and mass meet ings. Mr- Mack Spears, Kansas City, Kansas, is the chairman of this phase of the work. Since in some sections of the coun try there is not yet a full realization of the cultural and vocational advan tages inherent in a high school and a college education, the fraternity’s fa mous “Go-to-high-school, go-to-col lege campaign is again being prose cuted under the direction of Dr. John W. Davis, Jr., Houston, Texas. I he fraternity is again awarding, as it did in 1934, the sum of $1,200 for fellowships and scholarships. The Committee on Awards, which includes some of the race’s leading educators, announces that the records of the men to whom awards were made last year and who are now studying at City Colleges of New York, Fisk, Michigan, and Ohio State, approach a straight “A”. Probably the most notable activity of the fraternity, Professor Logan de clared, is its investigation of the var ious New Deal agencies. A specially engaged investigator spent several months in the offices of every agency in Washington gathering material to determine the effects of these agencies en the Negro. This report will ap pear in a special issue of the Sphinx, the official organ of Alpha Phi Alpha, during the week of the fraternity’s campaign. “I believe”, said Professor Logan, ‘that this is the most comprehensive campaign ever undertaken by a fra ternity or a sorority. I believe also hat this investigation of the Federal Agencies, as distinguished from the IRA, is the first made by any colored mganization. An idea of the value of his investigation may be gleaned rom the fact, revealed by the report, hat Negroes have received less than me per cent of the patronage jobs ince the New Deal began. ” Dr. Charles H. Wesley of history, loward University, Washington, D. b, is the general president, and Mr oseph H. B. Evans, Washington, ). C., is the general secretary of the Upha Phi Alpha Fraternity. "GOOR CHILD I /and the school Bjr D». ALIEN a IRELAND Dtftatt. ml HtJii Umm Utm /.rap Suu Drpmtmm ./ PmUii Uitrmrti— To Aid the Health Diet I came across a chart of the ideal health diet. It was the best of its kind I had seen, readable, under standable, and correct. And in the excitement of discov ery I showed it to a young mother whom I knew to be a stick ler for the correct thing in child rais ing. 52s In a she took the wind out of my sails by saying with a little touch of justifiable pride: “That’s , nothing I have that beat a mile.” Thereupon she showed me an ad mirable thing of her own invention. And the best of it is, it actually works. It, too, was a chart, a home-made affair. First, I should say this mother has two boys and a girl. Her chart, hand colored, attractive ly drawn, attempted to show in terms cf child interest, the values of the several essential foods. In the left-hand column were state ments such as these: “This makes chinning the bar easy,” “This gives speed to gunning,” “This helps to make graceful dancers,” “This keeps Daddy well to earn a living for us," and so on. Opposite these were colored drawings. In one place there were four glasses of milk; in another a bowl of fruit; or a plate of bread and butter. And so it went, down through the list of essential food items, including meat, fish, eggs, nuts, all kinds of vegetables, and milk products such as cheese, ice cream, and custards. The chart was hung in a con spicuous place in the kitchen. Sometimes the children are allowed to select meals from the chart. At other times, the mother points out what she has planned for the next meal. The object of the game each time is to pick out a balanced meal, in which there is a variety but with £ome item from each of the es sentials. The question of home work rises ' again; Dr. Ireland, will discuss it in his nett article.
