THIS WEEK IN RELIGION & THOUGHT by Robert L. Moody Thanksgiving— The Nation has had much dis cussion and some confusion be cause of the changes in days for observing Thanksgiving. It does not matter whether the day is ob served the first or fourth Thurs day, if the true spirit of grateful ntss, fills the heart. One should be ready to “Bless the Lord at all timts and forget not all his benefits”. War has brought murder, hate, destruction an dmisery to thous ands of people since September 1, 1939. But our nation has been given another year of peace. We may yet behold airplanes flying over us without running into holes as rats, because of the rain of death by bombs. We are feeling the affects of the struggle by tax ation and demands for personal sacrifices, but there are many re sources in our country. There are hundred who are suffering from hunger and the each of the life's needs. Shall we receive these blesings with sincere thanksgiving or must the Master ask again, “Where are the Nine?” STRAUS HITS DUPLICATION IN FEDERAL HOUSING Washington, Nov. 19 (ANPj — Calling upon the administration to practice real economy in housing, Nathan Straus, U. S. Housing ad ministrator, sharply denounced the govemt’s defense housing pro gram for its “wasteful ineffic iency” and urged a house subcom mittee to abolish overlapping housing agencies rather than de centralize them. Mr. Straus, whose office em ploys a large number of Negroes in administrative capacities, has been the target of a certain group of legislators for some time, but Wright Patman, representative from Texas, recently pointed cut what the U. S. housing adminis tration had accomplished in the way of erecting houses, throagh many of which Negroes profited both in labor and in housing : rd asked why should other agencies be set up to do this work which had been so ably done by Straus’ organization. One of the factors pointed out by Mr. Straus as faulty is the in clusion of what is known as Title VI in the federal housing prog ram. Under this provision, work ers are permitted to buy houses with little or no down payment. . now that boom times are here and towns are being crowded with de fense workers seeking homes. De claring to Negroes and other wor kers that it is cheaper to buy than to rent, the group sponsoring these houses is asking defense workers to invest their money in the houses. They do not consider what will happen should the defense indust ries suddenly shut down and the workers be left stranded. Well known housing experts and auth orities throughout the country are advising all defense workers to wait and continue to rent houses, even if the government does build them. If there is a sudden shut down and no one knows just how long this defense boom will last, what is to happen to the houses The workers, it is said, will lose their investment in the houses and the federal government will again be stuck with organizations to take over the workers’ homes in an ef fort to save them, with the sub sequent result that the govern ment will be saddled with the homes and taxpayers again be call ed upon to defray the expenses. Recent appropriations for the U. S. Housing administration have saved the necessity for reduction of the personnel especially as far DUFFV Pharmacy 24th AND LAKE STREETS PRESCRIPTIONS —Free Delivery— WE. 0609 WVW.WWVWWWWAVAV; CHOP SUEY King Yuen Cafe 2010 Vi N. 24th St. JAckson 8576 Open from 2 p. m. until 3 a. mi American A Chinese Dishes TICKLE ?
