C.F.I.
FOR THE PEOPLE’S HEALTH
Tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths each year; hundreds
of thousands or millions of people struggling with unnecessary
physical handicaps—blind or deaf or crippled or half sick, and all
quite needlessly. This is not a record for any nation to be proud
of. The cost in human suffering cannot be measured. In cold
money terms, the loss is likewise huge. It is in fact many times
the amount required to prevent these evils.
It’s no wonder that the American people are becoming in
creasingly dissatisfied with this situation. It’s no wonder that they
are now demanding a positive program for improving the nation’s
health.
Over 10 years ago the federal government set up a nation
wide system of insurance against the'hazards of old age and un
employment. We are now the only great industrial country which
does not have similar social insurance against the cost of illness.
It is high time for national action to provide cash payments in time
of sickness and to remove financial barriers to adequate medical
care.
Joe Worker and his family illustrate the typical situation in
many wage earners’ families. Joe is tired after the long war years
in which he pushed himself to the utmost to speed victory. Hours
were long and working conditions were not of the best. He looks
older than his years, even though he doesn’t know what’s wrong
with him. Why waste money' on going to the doctor, now that it is
so hard to make ends meet?
His wife does go to the doctor—she has a pain in her back
that she cannot seem to get rid of. Maybe a specialist would be
able to help her more, but she is afraid of expensive treatment.

She gets along as best she can.
Jjohn, aged 12, is full of energy and in good health thank
ness. They do not have many worries about him, except try
ing to get enough meat and milk and bread to keep up with his
appetite. Little Mary, aged 4, has not been so strong; they have
made it a point to take her to the doctor regularly even though
this has cost quite a bit. They have read the bulletins of the U. S.
Children’s Bureau about the importance of regular examinations,
vitamins, and so forth. One of these days they are going to have to
have her tonsils out ,at quite a cost, but if that is the worst, they
will be able to meet it.
There are many families much worse off than Joe Worker’s.
They have been overwhelmed by long-drawn-out illness which has
cut off the father’s income at the same time that huge bills have
piled up. Their small savings have been spent for doctors’ bills,
and yet they have not been able to get as good care as needed.
Many families live in smaller or poorer communities than Joe
Worker, where there are few or no doctors.
There are other families that have been especially lucky and
that have had no great problems of medical care. They enjoy good
health, they have a good doctor, and a nice home in a good neigh
borhood, with plenty of play space. Yet even they may be over
whelmed if disease strikes the wage earner. Some are now carrying
hospital insurance or may be protected to some extent by a sick
benefit plan negotiated by a union. But only a few of even this
lucky group, those with large savings, can be sure of paying the
doctor in those unexpected but all to frequent cases when a long
drawn-out illness strikes.
During the war, more than a third of the registrants were
turned down by Selective Service because of poor health. And
these rejections were all among young men. Even those who were
accpted often had some physical defects, like poor teeth or bad
vision, that the Army tried to correct.
Why should so many young Americans be in poor health?
Well, the U. S. Public Health Service tried to answer that question
by studying what happened in Hagerstown, Maryland, where they
had been keeping track of the health of growing children foi
about twenty years. Most of the Hagerstown boys who were re
jected for military service because of medical defects had those
same defects when they were children. For example, thr^e-quar
ters of the children who were rated as underweight and under
nourished 15 years earlier were rejected by Selective Service. Half
the children who were later disqualified because of eye defects
naa poor vision id years earner.
What’s the use of examining children, and writing down on a
record what’s wrong with them? Of course, the Public Health
Service doctors hoped their parents would have those defects
taken care of. But how? If they didn't have the money, how could
they? Several studies have shown that people go into debt' tor
medical reasons more than for any other reason.
That’s why insurance against medical costs is so important
Illness often strikes individuals without warning, but for large
groups of people, it’s easy to predict how much sickness there wT
be, say, in a year. Then if every one in a large group regularly
contributes a little to a common fund, each family unfortunate
enough to be stricken with illness wall be able to get the right kind
of medical care when it Is needed. The bigger you make the group
the less each individual has to pay because then you’re spreading
the risk more. That’s why the government should create one big
medical insurance system for everybody. The voluntary plan§ arc
all right in a small way. They help—but they aren’t enough.
SUMMER ACTIVITIES HIGHLIGHT
NEGRO ATHLETIC PROWESS
By John M. Lee
NEW YORK—Long ago, the experts who are spending their lives
trying to prove that the Negro is inferior, came to the conclusion
that the best way to explain away the prominence of Negro ath
letes in the various branches of sports was to admit it on the basis
that the Negro is more animal than the Caucasian. Well, animal or
vegetable, the brown boys are still in there toppling over records
in everything from ping pong to heavyweight boxing.
Spotlighted this season, and top attraction for a long time to
come, is the record being made by Jackie Robinson as a Brooklyn
Dodger minor leaguer. Because of his personality, intelligence,
ability and his position as the first Negro to break into the organ
ized game, Jackie will be something of a legend wherever and
whenever the game comes up for discussion. There will be somr
vv’ho will look upon him as an accidnt, and there will be others in
his own race who will consider him a superman. Actually Jackie is
what the guv who keeps the records of the game will call a top
grade ball player.
Along with Jackie are two other high class performers in the
great American game. Roy Campanella and Donald Newcombe
are Dodgerites assigned to the Nashua Club of the New England
League. Campanella, a recruit from the Elite Giants who hold
forth down Baltimore way, is a faultless guardian of the keystone
sack, with a quick eye and a hefty swing. He likes to warm up for
his catching duties by blasting out home runs. Newcombe formerly
tossed them over for the Newark Eagles, and he is pitching his
way to a permanent berth on the big time train. There will be a
lot of speculation about both of these boys, but what will outweigh
all of the talk is the fact that they are two good ballplayers who
knew what they wanted and worked hard to get it.
Joe Louis who occupies the top money-making position in tty
sports world has been analyzed and studied by all sorts of expert.'
who want to find out why he won the championship. They assign
all sorts of reasons to his success, but none of them bother to see
the simple truth, which is just that Joe Louis is the best heavy
weight.
In basketball, track, swimming, football and manv of the hun
dred other sports, Negro performers exhibit marked ability and
championship form. High Schools and Colleges throughout the
North, South, East and West turn up with amazing regularity,
Negro boys who show excellent athletic ability. Not all of the crack
performers are privileged to be heralded around the world, or to
become a part of a championship team. Most of them are destined
to have their prowess and acclaim remain a matter for local con
sumption, but there is no denying the contribution they make to
the record of the game they play.
While this piece is concerned with the male of the species
Negro women have also excelled in the sports world. They have
proven themselves proficient in such strenuous male pursuits as
football, basketball, bowling and boxing. Tuskegee Institute is the
proud possessor of a one woman championship team in the person
of the speed and stamina of Miss Alice Coachman who for the past
several years has run her way into the athletic hall of fame.
Whether or not there is some significance in the consistency

of Negro athletes is a point I shall not undertate to resolve. It is
sufficient that such is the case, and it is important that it remain
the case. All of the propaganda in the world can never be as effec
tive as a sound mind in a strong body acting with coordinated
effort to excel in clean, honest sport.
Notwithstanding the fact that some unathletic .thinkers with
narrow minds are trying to prove that physical triumph is purely
animal triumph, Negro boys and girls should take advantage of the
fine weather that is on the way and take every opportunity to play
hard at some sport. It is a sine way to rid the mind and body of
dangerous poisons. The lessons learned on the field of sport will
come in handy in latef life. Athletics develop the mind as well as
the body, and a good athlete is the possessor of some fine reflex
actions.
Training the mind and the body to function at their highest
levels is the surest way to combat stupid racial propaganda. To
survice it is necessary to be alert and be able to act swiftly. Now
that spring is here and summer is on the way, let’s start building a
finer generation of ourselves by giving the youngsters a chance to
take part in sports.

MERLE E. HANSEN
REPORTS ON AFC
CONVENTION AT
DES MOINES
PASS ANTI-DISCRIMIN
ATION CLAUSE
I have just returned from a
veterans convention. A veterans
convention without seeing a sin
gle drunk, without a parade,
where no one dropped water bags
from hotel windows, and where
waitresses could maneuver about
without having their skirts ripped
off by a funny man with a cock
hat and a tin horn—no not even
any funny hats. I was proud that
I was a member of the American
Veterans Committee and I felt
that I was a part of an important
epoch-making event.
But before going into the con
vention I would like to go into a
little background of AVC to give
you an idea of what we were try
ing to do at Des Moines. About
S years ago three GI’s and two
officers got together by mail and
decided that if veterans were to
attain jobs, peace and freedom
that men were winning all over
the world, they must form a vet
erans organization which wouldd
do the job. However, they didn't
feel that it was fair to draw up a
cut and dried organization to
shove at the veteran when he re
turned and say—here it is you
want to join or don't you? Instead
ihey felt that veterans should
have the opportunity after all the
:g -tin" w>- done and men were
back to set down together and
draw up the kind of organization
which would gi"e us that mo-c
democratic and prosperous Amer
ica in a world organized against
war. Before Des Moines it was
just what the name implies—a
committee. In committee form it
had growr/to 60.00 members with
300 chapter in 45 states and over
mas chapters all the way from
Tokyo to Berlin. The organization
had grown so large that it wa.
not possible for all or members
to set do- n togeCmr and talk i*
over -o a -''tern of delegates had
to be evolved and out of that 850
delegates met in Des Moines re
presenting the 60.000 members.
To assume that it was a ouiet
affair because C’ere was no drink
ing or rowdyne"- would be a very
wrong impression indeed. Caucu
ses were in session all night lorn
and when Cm nominating, nlat
form and constitution committee
adjourned ’mmenti were carried
on on an in',:vidua.l basis Thoma°
L. Ptoses saH thin convention wac
something such as was never seen
before by this writer in 25 vear
of covering national and state po
litical and other conventions.
Even as few conventions (our
state Farmers Union Convention
♦his vpor hem" mv first) as I
have attended it impressed me as
being something more than just
the ordinary kind of convention.
It was a bunch of serious veterans
who realized the seriousness of
our times.
Then when a veterans organi
zations goes on record against a
bonus, that’s news. The AVC’s
motto is “citizens first, veterans,
second” and therefore we believe
that the welfare of the veteran is
inseparable from that of the com
munity, the nation—the world.
AVC not only went on record
as being against discrimination of
any kind but we showed by action
that we really meant. Only a few
hours after we had passed our
anti-discrimination plank, a local
restaurant refused to serve one
of our Negro delegates. As soon
as the convention heard of the in
cident it set up a committee to
investigate and about fifty dele
gates, lead by Oren Root, Jr.,
(former chairman of the Wilkie
Clubs in 1940) picketed the place,
chanting “‘Jim Crow must go”.
The police captain was summoned
and the proprietor of the cafe
was arrested for violating the
state anti-discrimination law. The
whole demonstration was extreme
ly well conducted and lasted only
about half an hour. Then several
hundred dollars were collected f*r
placing an announcement in the
local papers thanking the city
authorities for their cooperation
and reminding them that the AVC
practiced what it preached.
Charles Bolte our present chair
man was re-elected chairman by
acclamation—except for one die
hard dissenter. The real fight was
on the vice-chairmanship. Harri
son, founder of AVC, ran against
Norris Helford. Harrison winning
out.
The offices filled were that of
a National Planning Committee
and which contains a number of
exceptionally able men. Some of
them are Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Jr., Oren Root, Jr.; Robert Na
than; Michale Straight; E. J. Kahn
and Cord Meyer (Harold Stassen’s
advisor at the San Francisco {Con
ference).
Our speakers included Henry,
Wallace, Harold Stassen (an AVC;
member), Representative Monron-I
ey, Bishop B. J. Sheil and Walter j
Reuther.
We strongly endor'ed World
Government TVA-type authorities
for the Missouri and Columbia
Valleys, 75 cent minimum wage
and veterans homing in the Wy

PLENTIFUL FOODS
Foods expected to be plentiful
in Midwest retail foods stores
during the month of July are list
ed by the US Department of Agri
culture as potatoes, onions, heavy
tom turkeys and lemons. Meat
areas also will have an abundance
of early peaches from the south,
and California peaches will put in
an appearance late in the month.
Cantaloupes and watermelons pro
mise to be more plentiful than last
year. And eggs will generally be
in good supply unless present
shortages of poultry feed severely
curtail production.
Heavy withdrawals of fowl,
broilers and roasters from cold
storage have taken place during
the last month, but cold storage
stocks of turkey still remain
large and constitute a valuable
backlog of protein food for dom
estic consumers. Cold storage fish
also continue large, and the new
fishing season is maintaing stock
well. Supplies of fresh fish are
generally plentiful in metropolitan
market centers.

minded consumers. Their tests de

an estimated 38.5 million bushels
of freestones and 20.8 million bu
shels of California clingstones.
Good supplies are expected alao
in August from the middle Atlan
tic and central states and again
in September from Michigan, New
York, New England, and the north
western states. Home canning of
peaches will be particularly im
portant this year, because the sup
ply of commercially canned fruits
is not expected to be large enough
to meet consumer demand in the
winter and spring ahead.
Department cookery scientists
have offered suggestions for using
our major plentiful potatoes, not
only as an alternate, but as an ex
tender for wheat flour in baking
bread. Only a small quantity of
potatoe can be used—about one
cup of mashed potatoes to 5 or
6 cups of flour. Te mashed pota
toe is thinned with potatoe water
then mixed with the softened
i yeast cake before the flour is
stirred in to make a dough or a
| sponge. Home bakers may prefer
however, to extend their flour sup
plies with oatmeal, or com meal
finely ground, which may be used
to replace as much as one-third
| of the flour in a standard recipe
for white bread.
There are so many potatoes
available from the 75 million bu
shel spring and intermediate crop
and so many different ways to
prepare them, that homemakers
will find it practical to use them
following this policy offers every
homeaker an opportunity to con
tribute to the welfare of humanity
because it will make more wheat
and flour available to feed the
starving nations abroad.
