BUILD Your Own COMMUNITY By Patronizing Your Naborhood Stores CALVIN SAYS By FLOYD J. CALVIN ARMS FLOW TO ETHIOPIA “Arms Flowing into Ethiopia Despite Bans,” reads a headline in the New York Herald Tribune- The dispatch is from Linton Wells, who writes from Djibouti, French So maliland, that he saw a U- S freighter unload “trucks, tractors and ‘sundries’ for Ethiopia Perhaps knowledge that Ethio pia is pouring modem bullets into his black-shirt troops inspired Mus solini’s latest wail, in which he blames others and not himself for the prospect of a new war in Eu rope. And perhaps the modem arms which have reached Ethiopia had some bearing on the prophesy re cently made in the New York Times, and signed by six Italians, which suggested that Italy’s pres ent predicament is due to the mail ed fist of II Duce, and that she could go forward without him “We, the undersigned,” write the six Italians, “always regarded the Fascist rule as inimical to the real welfare of the Italian people and to the peace of the world. Now that the Italian people is confronted with the most dreadful ordeal, and that many of those who were the accomplices of Mussolini’s ask: ‘what next?’ we answer: ‘It aly.’ We trust in the vitality, mor al sanity and common sense of the Italian people. “There was an Italy before Mus solini- There will be an Italy after Mussolini—a free Jtaly within the commonwealth of nations ” And we might add that in the commonwealth of nations will still be free Ethiopia, because she got guns in time CHILD EDUCATION Prof. Charles S. Johnson, dis tinguihed sociologist, writes an in- i te resting and thought-provoking article in the current Opportunity, entitled “The Education of the Ne gro Child”. Mr. Johnson professes his faith as follows: “The educa tion of the Negro child should be realistic. He should be aware not merely of his environment, and his role,in it, but of the natural his tory of his relationship to his cul ture- He should know how to ap praise the principles of the edu cation by which it is expected his , life will be shaped. He should know the present 1 irritations of his ' environment and why it is limited It is a familiar experience in the secondary schools and colleges to encounter student who, by virtue of the urge of ambitious parents, have reached the college level oro ly to be overwhelmed when the educational philosophy fails them, i and without knowing why. Only a , A wise education for this group would provide for them, freely, a sympathetic knowledge of their i own intimate social world and a realistic knowledge of that broad- | er universe in which they must make satisfactory adjustment for surwal. differed problemshrdluetaoicmfwy Prof. Johnson has attacked a difficult problem, on which parents prefer to think with their hearts rather than their heads.

LIFE INSURANCE HEALTH PLANS Dr. M- O- Bousfield, medical di rector of a large insurance com pany, has sent to Calvin’s News paper Service his views on health conservation programs of life in surance companies operating among Negroes. Dr. Bousfield’s j own company (of Chicago), for the past ten years, “has offered to its 1 policy holders the services of the Life Extension Institute for a per iodic examination by that organi zation at the expense of the Com pany.” Dr- Bousfield says further, “for the past several years, I have at tempted to interest the National Negro Insurance Association in! this matter as an Association pro ject.” The report states that the Associatin'1 has not yet adopted the proposition, which is that an appropriation of $500 or $1000 be made for a health conservation program for policy holders.

Immed iately on the story's appear ance, Miss Powell sent a tele gram to Miss Waters declaring the article absolutely untrue and a wire to the News demand ing a retraction. Miss Waters has also made several requests for correction, she states, but thus far they have been com pletely ignored. Meanwhile Josephine Baker, now appearing on Broadway in the new “Ziegfeld Follies’" is being accused of causing the withdrawal of Fannie Brice, due' to either illness or anger, and the temporary closing down of' the revue. According to thej story, there has been a feud be tween the white star and Miss Baker over prominence in the billing. In the telegram sent to Miss Waters as soon as the New's article appeared, Miss Powell stated: “My dear Ethel: No state emnt nor article such as the malicious one that appeared in today’s Daily News could pos sibly express a greater untruth or misstatement of facts. Your riendship, cooperation and help is something I have always ap preciated and I will be happy to get back to work as quickly as the doctors permit which I hope will be in a few days. Sincerely, Eleanor Powell.” In the communication to Miss Ferguson of the News, the dancing sensation declared her association with “At Home Abroad'' had been very agree able and if she had been dis satisfied she would not have stayed with the show five months. Miss Powell avowed her friendship for both Miss Waters and Beatrice Lillie and stated both had given her their utmost cooperation. A denial was asked in order to save need less embarrassment to all con cerned. Miss Waters also told the re porter that the entire story was false and asked for a correction.
