QOOR CHILD /and the school By Dr. ALLEN a IRELAND , Director. PhyticaJ aaj Health EJatatioa Nrw Jertey Stale Department cl Pchltt latnaclicc Summer Meals The same old essentials go un challenged. Oh, a little less meat perhaps, and for the overweight child a little less bread and butter, aim All children can do \ very well without | candies, pastries, ?« and, especially, soda f pop or so-called ' “tonic.” By the way, non i let tnat name “tonic” mislead you. It’s far from being anything of the sort. Instead, try a drink of pure cold water or cool milk. There’s real refreshment. Pass up your old beliefs about rammer diets. Most of them were only superstitions without a grain of scientific backing. The needs of the body don’t change so very much with the seasons. Heat isn’t necessary as it is in the winter, therefore the suggestions to reduce sugars and starches. But the en ergy and health requirements don’t change. The same quart of milk is need ed, although good ice cream may account for a part. Green vege tables, fresh fruit, tomatoes, a lit tle meat or fish, some egg, some bread and butter, and there you are, winter or summer. Planning a Scout trip is excit ing, important; Dr. Ireland wib give some advice about it in hu next article. REFRESHING RELIEF OF CONSTIPATION Avoid constipation!

Jesse Owens in Action as He Smashed Three World’s Records. He Will be in Lincoln, Nebraska I 7 on July 4th. . Realm of Sports— Ned Gordon Makes Fine Showing at Minnesota Meet St. Paul. Minn., June 20, (By ‘Sherwood’ for ANP)—Ned Gordon, 1939 Olympic broad jump champion, was among the more than 100 North west athletes participating in the an nual Minnesota Amateur Athletic union track and field meet in Mem orial stadium at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, June 8th. Gordon won three events, placed once, setting two new records for the meet. He did the 120-yard high hurdle in .15:1, former record, .16, Knoblaugh, U. of Minnesota, 1933. He broad-jumped 23 feet and 7 inch es, former record 23 feet, one and one-eighth inches, Hamilton, U. of Colorado, 1933. He wron the high jump with 5 feet 11 inches and fin ished second in low hurdles In a personal interview with the ANP representative, Gbrdon spoke very flatteringly of the group of Negro athletes who are so consistent ly winning just now. Particularly lid he pay glowing tribute to Ralph Metcalf and Jesse Owens, and ex pressed doubt as to the correctness sf the report that Owens says he was snubbed by Mecalf. He says the latter is an especially genial, agreeable chap, and that he cannot imagine him being guilty of such actions. Thinks it is a mistaken report coming from some one other than Owens. Gordon has accepted an invitation to take part in a meet at New York Mills, M^nn., June 16th. To Celebrate For A. A. U.

Negro Team Top Ranks in American Legion Jr. Baseball League By ‘Sherwood’ For A. N. P. St. Paul, Minn., June 20.—The ball team sponsored by Leslie i Lawrence Post, American Legion" St. Paul, Minnesota, is playing heads-up ball this year. Up to June 15th, they have not lost a game, and are in a tie for the lead. Won four starts. Last year they could not get oging, losing every game of the season. This Post sponsored a team during 1927! which was not very successful. It is believed this is the only all Negro team playing in Legion ball. Nc Gesture For Negro in “Grass Roots” Conference - - — - Chicago, June 20. (ANP)—Those evils of American life which most gravely affect twelvr million Neg roes, received no consideration at the hands of the sevrral thousand dele gates from ten middle western states who w'ent to Springfield, the statr capita], last Monday and Tuesday j for the so-called “grass roots con- j ference,” designed to lay the founda tion for the rebuilding of the Re publican party. There was plenty of speechmaking, plenty of paying tribute to the heroes of the past, plenty of fault-finding with the Roosevelt program and al most tearful concern for the Consti tution, but there was no great im pulse toward the consideration of the fundamental of human rights and the necesity for re-shifting the national life so taht all elements may enjoy the “pursuit of life, liberty and hap piness.” Scores of Negro delegates were present from the various states, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas being heavily represented. But they might as well have not have been. Two Negroes spoke shortly before the con vntion, Roscoe Simmons of Chicago and Cliffoi’d Jackson of Indianapolis, Ind. But they might as well not have. The presence of the Negroes did not count in the conference, j Such consideration as was shown them was the result of either pure courtesy or of protest Some of the Negro delegates got , the notion that they ought to have a program and to place before he con ference he matters which were close to their hearts. But after this idea j came, the Negro delegates them selves split into two groups and held ; two “Jim Crow” conferences, inside ] and outside of the Urban league j headquarters, to try to set up a pro gram. After each group had found agreement within itself, it was im possible to get the two groups to gether. One group was led by Dr- J. R. A. Crossland of St. Joseph, Missouri, and the other by Dr. William, Blount, Kansas legislator, who lives in Kan sas City. Crossland headed the so called official group and Blount the “rump” delegates, with Mrs. Mary Clarke, Chicago, as secretary. The chief upshot of all their work and wrangling was to get a little pep into a resolution involving a line call ing for equality of economic oppor tunity without respect to race or col or. Of course, that’s in the law al ready, even in the law legalizing the PWA program. Attorney George Lawrence, Chi cago, secretary of the National Negro Bar Association, led a delega tion of 21 members to the confer ence. Afterwards, he was not op timistic about the results. In fact, he did not think anything had been accomplished. He was disposed to lay part of the blame at the feet of Negro delegates and political lead ers themselves and part on the in difference of tho whites. “The Negroes were not ‘in’,” claimed Mr. Lawrence, “because they were united on no program and because they spent no money in their own behalf. The white men and women who sponsor these affairs make themselves responsible for the bills. They make the financial con tributions and naturally assume the right to organize the set-up and the program. No Negroes give anything, so no Negroes count. Any Negro who could have persuaded himself to donate $500 toward the expenses ofi the conference would have found J himself in a position wThere he could | have talked and received attention. “But so far as money and planning were concerned, this was a white man’s conference. There was nobody there, save the Negroes themselves, who was a bit concerned about what we consider our political, social and economic problems. There was scarcely even anybody who thought . the Negro was necessary as a vote ( maker. He was there simply be- j cause he belonged and not because any help was looked for from him, nor because there was any design to ] help him.” ( Oxley Tells Canadians of Negro Labor i Contributions „ Montreal, Canada, June 20, (ANP) —What the Negro has contributed toward the industrial development of the United States and the problems faced at the present time by Negro labor, were outlined here by Lieu tenant Lawrence A. Oxley, Chief of the Division of Negro Labor, United States Department of Labor, in an address delivered Saturday before the > Nat’onal Conference of S o c ial Workers. Lieutenant Oxley declared that at the present time some 3,000,000 Negroes were on the rosters of the unemployed and averred that the only possible remedy for the condi tion presented by this unemployment was through government aid. Oth er speakers on the program included Miss Katherine Lenroot, Director of the Children’s Bureau, U- S. Depart ment of Labor and the Secretary of Labor, Mrs. Frances Perkins. > SHARPS AND FLATS THE MUSICIANS It sure seemed strange to see all the ‘Cats’ strollin’ up and down the avenue Sunday night, when the Mar tial Law gave them a vacation with no place to go. All was really quiet on the Northern front, but they did manage to swing at the Elks’ hall, as usual, and some of the musicians went around there to ‘riff’. Did you know that the big boss up to the Elks’ wasn’t so fond of musi cians ? That’s right. Monday night all the boys went back to work as usual and Gene Mc Coy swung out at Dreamland. We must say he had a vary nice band considering that the band had been a little shot. Did you see our Dick Lewis playing with them and we hear they are looking for a bass play er, too. Of course, we all knew Sam Allen, alto sax, who played around here last year. Billy Merton, trum pet, was the most outstanding mem ber of the band. He went over in a b:g way, and one thing we liked a bout him was that he made all the high notes he attempted and he real ly is quite a clean cut trumpet play er. Of course, Durham is still play ing a lot of trombone. Did you no tice the clever little way the director had of announcing all of the num bers? Just something a little bit different. There have been a lot of interest ing changes made in Hunter’s band, but you will hear about that next week. Alexander’s Rag Time Band has been broadcasting every Wednesday at 5 o’clock, over W. A. A. W., and they don’t sound a bit bad for only four pieces. In fact, they have the name of being the Biggest Little Band in Town. Ted Summit aug ments the band, during the broadcast, but the members of the unit are Dave Alexander. Alfred Abney and Percy Walker. Percy does all the vocaliz ing; so he has turned out to be an other one of those crooners. Three Wounded in Shooting Row Tupelo, Miss., June 20, (ANP)— rhree men were brought to the lo :al hospital here Wednesday morn ng suffering from gun-shot wounds •eceived in a shooting row over a proposed picnic. The wounded men: hircell Mace, George Mace and Chester Schumpert planned to take -heir fam/lies on an outing and when :hey disagreed as to the arrange nents the shooting started and all oaricipants were badly, if not se iously wounded. i I COULD NOT DO HER HOUSEWORK WfHEN every T thing you at tempt is a burden —when you are nervous and irri table—at your wit’s end—try this medicine.
