.In T< -xas, however, the inter.
e-t us being nianifi sted not on
ly by those dealing with the Ne
groeij thems»Jves, hut by the
teacher, and workers in insti
tutions of the whites. For ex
mu pic, Mrs, J. M Hale <>l her
meraville, Texn . in asking for
such material says: “I aai plan
n,ng to u e it in my classroom, (
ulso I feel that the information •
I gain from the literature will j
he beneficial to me in writing
a theme on tin* contributions
of the Negeo in connec ion with
Hiy work at the North Texas
State Teachers College.’ Mrs
Torn K. SinuiKnis of Fan pa,
Toxins, request-: a supply if lit
eratur* bearing upon the eel
ehrattion for use in her class in
social studies in the local high
school. Miss Hi Me Campbell of
Sl(nlhytown, Texas, wants all
literature available not only
from the Association for the'
’Study of Negro Life and 11 is- j
tory, hut. from any other sour
ce which may be helpful in sup
plying information for her sb
eial science cinqs, for she be
lieves that tlw* study of the Ne
gro problem cinimot be carried
too far .in the South. Mrs. A.
1>. Mehiuie of Lockhart, Tex.,
disclaims any connection with
a dub or organization, but she
haq helped tiidirectly whenev
er tile opportunity lut.s present
ed it elf both Negro schools and
Negro churches); and she de
sirea to make whatever contri
bution she can in the further
ance of thus effort not only for
this partieulua* weik, but that
will tend to heUp the Negro
race in their tt-.-N ihroughout
lift-.
Wiith this keener appreeia
tion of the Negro’s contrihu
tion, other agencies have more
willingly respondid to the re
quests for cooperation. It is
lew difficult to have editors
and reporter note these act
ivities in their columns. The
white press* has, become more
liberal with space. Broadcast
considerate of this appeal to
ing stations, have become more
the public. Several workers in
connection with the Associa
tion will broadcast in Philadel
phia, New York and Chiegtao.
In New Orleans Professor L.
D. Reddick of LHllard Univer
sity will talk over the radio on
“The Negro in Latin America.”
In view of Hfie rapidly in
creasing demand for posters
and the literature to be used
in the celebration of Negro
History Week it' has been nee
eesspjry to print an additional
supply. Clubs, suhools and
churches not yet provided with
these materials may sltill ob
tain them by addressing C. G.

FACTS
Not long ago one of the na
tion’s leading chain store or
ganizations conducted a sur
rey of its 13,000 employes to
determine exaltly their stand
ard of living. The survey in
eluded every individual in the
employ of the company sten
ograp'lifrs, bookkeepers, ware
housemen, truck driver , store
and market, workers, and ex
eetitlves. I. vv’as conducted on
th • heels of the worst depre
sion iu the history of t)ne coun
try, ye. here are a few of the
results: 151 per emt of the fain
ilie i represented on the com
pany's payroll own their own
homes, 65 jar cent own radios,
62 per cent own ears, and 67
per cent of all employes pat
income taxes. In addition (hen
hi one for those who are in
elined to believe that th',' chains
are ant i-social) 77.H per rent
of the employes made various
donations to organized char j
it.es, amounting to about $20 |
per employe.
While on tta* > abject of thv
chain store contributions to lo
cal c.vic activities a,ml char
ities, a recent investigation by
the federal Trade (.’ommis-ion
is of particular interest. Of
153 chain store companies in
vesftign.ted by the conumi, sion,
82 per cent \vei> found gen
erally to be uitah’.lig eontribu
^ion^ to local civic and charity
groups. Average contribut.on
per store pt r year was found
to be $77. .Moreover, it was
found that 87 per cent of the
local tore managers in 120
different chains were miaking
additional contributions of, on
the average, $50 per man per
■ year.
In view of these figures am ,
fair minded person dan only
conic to one conclusion. The I
chains arc nin essential 'asset |
to the nation, socially as well)
as economically.

HICKORY GROVE
Speed is grdat stuff—in its
place—like when you a,re get
tin' a tooth pulled, you are in
favor of havin’ it over with,
quick. And you don’t want a
dentist to go home when the
wdsi^tfle blows, with the tooth
half pulled—evin if you are a ,
person who drops your own
hammer, unless you get over
tiihie or double-time.
And if doctors would get
over-time, after 3 p. m., or 4
p. in., people could not afford
to see theni—dike they eaji not
hardly a'fford lots of things
now, on account of so much
double time, etc. And if a feh
ler work in’ on your house is
h'alf-way up tjhe lodder, and it
is 4 p. m., he won’t move up
or come down unlessi he gets
■more pay.
But I have strayed off of
speed, which I started out on.
But to make the streets half
way safe, we need to do more
than just blather about speed.
We gotta start teachin’ in the
schools, about a heavy foot on
{|he gas and corpses per gallon,
etc., and forget the speedy
idamas and paipas, 'cu?fc the
only cure there, it is a wreck,
—and the embalmer.
