HELP FOR TEACHERS OF , SAFETY Educators throughout the coun try hailed the inauguration last month at New \rork University of a nationa lcenter for safety edu cation, the first of its kind in tho United States, which has been made possible under a special grant of funds by the National Conservation Bureau of the Asso ciation of Casualty and Surety Ex ecutives. Its principal object is to t ach teachers how to teach safety but its facilities will he open to all wb' have a practical concern in its interests. This is not the first time that the stock casualty insurance com. panics who maintain and adminis ter the National Conservation Bureau have appiared in the safe ty movement began in 1922, theirs has been a most important influ ence in the acceptance by schools everywhere of saf* ty education as a majcr and practical part of the regular curriculum. Tho legislatures or the depart ments of education in nearly every state now requires some form of safety instruction for grade school children. The results are vividly shown in a phenomental saving of child Jives, The accident fatality ’rate in the age group of five to fourteen years since 1922 ha* de creased IB per cent. Meanwhile the rate for all ages combined has in creased 24 per cent. With the inauguration of New York University’s center for safe ty Education, a new phase in the safety education movement begins. For some time the need has not been to convince educators of the importance of safety instruction, but rather to ai dthem in making their courses more effective through the development of sound teaching practices and materials. This job New York University has now undertaken. The experiment will be watched with inter st by a public which is seeking despera. tei> fer means with which to re duce America’s ghastly toll of ac cidental ncaths and injuries. KANSAS NAACP AID IN DEFEAT OF WLNKOD Kansas City, Kan., Au'r. 25 One of the contributing causes in th i decisive defeat of the Rev. Gerald B. W inrow for the repub lican nomination for U. S. Sena tor from Kansas, at the polls here August 2, was the anti-Winrod sentiment aroused by the local branch of the National Associa tion for the Advancement of Col ored People. Rallying their forces around a resolution which condemmed the evangelist for his "bigotry and rpejudice against other races and religions,” the branch branded Winrod as unfit for the position of U.

LANDLORD STIRS UP RAC E PREJUDICE Detroit Aug. 25 (CNA)—Agents of banking ami real estate organ zatiors were reported to be c t tinuing their actnvities in attempt ing to stir up feeling against tw Detroit Negro firemen.

Jrhn R. Mejer, 6353 Walton Avenue, told tho council that the presence of Negroes at the station on 24 hour shifts “violates neighborhood restrictions against Negroes living in the district.” A mob attempted to prevent the men from entering the fire sta tion last week. They are the first Negroes to become members of the departmec. Tho corporation attorney’s of fice already has given an opinion that the assignment of Negro firemen to the district does not violate the anti.Negro restrictions The two men won the right to jcbs in the Fire Department after a long struggle, and have passed civil service examinatons. Tho Tory inspired campaign a gainst the Negro firemen is fea tured by an attempt to drive Po lish residents of the neighborhood to sell their properties at ridicu lously lew prices with the arument that th*j presence of Negroes will depreciate property values.

BUYERS’ GUIDE_ By Clarence H. Peacock The colored race will never ob tain any degree of economic secu rity until they learn to discrimi nate and concentrate their buying with thoso companies that give them equal employment opportuni ties. Last year Colored consumers in discriminately spent over $2,000, 000 for toothpaste. Over $11,000,000 was spent in advertising by four of the popular brands of toothpaste in 1936. Col gato spent $3,977,932, Ipana spent $3,476,398, Listerine spent $2,207, 372, and Pepsodent spent $1,612, 157. Because the Colored consumers did not discriminate and concen trate their buying on any particu I lar brand of toothpaste, not one of these companies spent any of this $11,000,000 for advertising in the Negro Press. If the Negro buyef had concen trated his buying on just cne of tlieso brands of toothpaste, the increased sales of this brand would warrant the company to advertise in the Negro press and employ Ne-1 groes in their factories and as sales representatives. Toothpaste advertisements have influenced millions of people to brush their teeth properly and save them from decay. They have ex , id (.very day language of [ tho people that poison* from de cayed, ultcted or unclean teeth can permanently impair the most vital organs and the most remote parts of the body. Sinco these companies have ad vertised only in the white press, tho colored consumers have not been getting the full benefit of tho $2,000,000 spent for toothpaste. If the millions of colored peo ple would read their own papers and patronize their advertised products they would be spending their money with companies that want their patronage and are wil ling to give th.m equal employ ment opportunities. See ycur dentist at least twice a year. There are over 2,000 Col ored dentists in this country—pa tronize them, they need and de serve your suport. For economic security, buy only hose brands of toothpaste that ire advertised in your Colored lewspapers. -O White Press Gets Laugh: Divine Gets Estate New York, Aug. 25 (CNA) When Father Divine took two ex cursion boatloads «f his ‘Angels” up to Krum Elbow on the Hudson opposite the estate of President Roosevelt, the members of New Yorks leading white dailies had a field day (with pictures) and plentusus mention of pork chops, chicken, watermelons, trucking, hallelujahs and minstrel humor. They interviewed Mrs. Roose velt and learned tha she, diplom aically, was happy that the estate was to be “Heaven” for some peo_ pie. They interviewed Father Di vino and discovered, later, that W'hat they said he said, ha hadn’t said. They interviewed Howland Spencer, former owner of the 500 acre estate and bitter enemy cf President Roosevelt, who sold the valuable piece of property to Fa ther Divine. Everyone of the bright young men wbo covered the story had a swrell time being clever. Everything was very funny, but W’hen they all stopped laughing Father Divine still had a lcvely 500 acre estate in one of the fin est locations in New York, com plete with houses, gardens and boats where he and his angels will be able to enjoy themselves i their own way and for as long as they care to. And maybe cne of the things that will add to their enjoyment will be the fhct that their’s is the last laugh after all. “IT PAYS TO LOOK WELL” MAYO’S BARBER SHOP Ladies and Children’s W r' A Specialty - 2122 l ake Street PAUL ROBESON QUITS BIG TIME STAGE i St. Pan eras, Eng.—More for ocvictions than for cash, this man Paul Robeson, who can appear in fashionable West End theatres an,' earn a fortune, prefers to act with workmen in a little theatre in unfashionable Sft. Pancras, at nothing per week. “He has embarked, as he terms it, on a new career. He wants to play honest parts, instead of be ing used as an attraction in plays that have no meaning and little purpose. “That is why Paul Robeson, world-famous star, is aft the Work ers’ Unity Theatre in North West London. He is playing in ‘Plant in the Sun’ which deals with a sit down strike in a factory. “Paul .RobesiCin is not merely an actor. He is an inspiring symbol in these significant times. Son of a slave, born in New Jersey, U. S. A., 1898, he was educated ait Rut ger’s University, where he grad uated as a B- A. (he has since re ceived the degree at M. A.) and he obtained a law degree (LLB.) from CbljUmbSa University. 'Six foot two and a half inches tall, with a magnificent physique, he gained fame ;n the AlLAmerican Football team. “Ho became a star, a magr.et to draw 10,000 people into a concert. “He could have chosen a learn ed profession or have been a pro fessional athlete. He chose to be an artist, a serious interpreter of hi# people. His father, a slave, who became a preacher—taught him how to live, and how to carry the cross that every Negro bears. “In the law,’’ said Paul, “I could never reach the peak. I could never be a Supreme Court Judge. On tho stage there was only the sky to hold me back.’’ “He became a star, a magnet to draw 10,000 pople into a con cert hall. Now ha is tired of triv iliates meant only fc/ money mak ing. He has embarked on a new career which he hopes will help to bring into the world a principle of human friendship and service to the community.’’ -- —---__— I Dr. Pepper Bottling Co. 4809 S. 20th MA. 2153 j MAKES ELABORATE PLANS FOR THE PRESS Eneil F.
