"OUR I GUEST Column Edil'-d by Verna P. Harris WE ARE NOT ALONE By Thurgood Marshall, Special Counsel, NAACP; 1946 winner of the Springarn Medal We 15.000,000 Negroes in America are not alone in the dubious enjoy ment of the status of a minority. From the earliest days of Ameri can history, the very settlers who came here to escape persecution in turn persecuted minorities among them. In Massachusetts. Roger Will iams was expelled for dissension. In Salem witches were burned. Quakers. Catholics, Jews. Luther ans. Moravians. Baptists and athe ists were all victims of prejudice in one colony or another. In 1850 when great numbers of Irish were immigrating to this country to es cape hunger in their homeland the Irish and Catholics were the scrape goats. Later it was each success ive wave of immigrants—Poles, Italians, Slavs. Jews and Russians. Today the National Conference of Christians and Jews found in recent surveys that 13 per cent of the people in this country would join in a hate campaign against the Jews: that nine per cent thought the Catholics were a men ace to the country. Out of more than 4000 cases handled by the Fair Employment Practice Com mittee. there were 258 cases of discrimination against Jews, 34 a gainst Seventh Day Adventists, 22 against Jehovah's Witnesses. 4 against Catholics, 182 against Mex icans. 19 against Italians. 14 ag ainst Chinese, 2 against Japanese, and 175 against foreign-bom of one nation or another. And the FEPC did not of course, uncover all cases. No. we are not alone. There are many, many minorities in this na tion today, and each suffers from some form of prejudice and dis crimination somewhere. Just what is a "minority”? What is it about the mere fact of being a member of a 'minority’ that leaves one wide open to hatred and discrimination ? Technically. minority’ means the numerically smaller part of a group. Actually, it means someone supposedly different in some way from the numerically greater.

Beautiful hair, so black, that it lightened her com plection, and the inner glow that covered her face could always be seen by those who looked at her. Anne’s father died the year she finished high school, leaving a wi dowed mother with ten children. Eight of them younger than her self. Young, husky children, all of them active, hungry from dusk un til dawn. Anne had always wanted to fur ther her schooling, and had plann ed to enter school, working her way through if necessary. She had brilliant promise as a youngster, and already many of her writings had been published by the maga zines, and it was her chosen field, but to pursue it she must have more education. A vital decision was before her. She could leave her family to make it the best way possible, or stay with them, working, not for her self, but for the family, never able to do any dating, dancing or have much fun with her friends, be cause she would not be able to spend her money for the clothes necessary to attract the boys of her set. All. of it would used by the family. Anne decided to stay and help her family. One year passed, then another, all without the joy of be ing with her friends, and yet there were few times that Anne was not happy. The family kept going with help of Anne. Soon those years added up to ten. All of this time, no dates, and very few friends. From 17 to 27, all of the best of her youth had passed, yet never a word of regret, as she watched I Engineers Report on (' I Adequate Wiring Tests i When the roaster compromises ■your reputation by producing a ■ ■soggy, deflated cake, or the toaster takes forever to brown a piece of bread, don’t grind your teeth and pitch invectives at the manufac turer. Chances are your electrical wiring is inadequate for the de j mands being made upon it.' The I chances are the wire is too small to give your appliances enough electricity to perform efficiently. So state electrical engineers and ! wiring technicians who have sift ed the results of thousands of tests and devoted years of study to the development of adequate wiring systems for every electri cal need. Light Output Up 34% In tests to determine the rela tive efficiency of appliances and lights when connected to ade quate and inadequate wiring sys tems, the specialists found that electrical efficiency can be stepped up from 20 to 34 per cent. Their research revealed that a ^ 10 per cent voltage loss, resulting , from too-small wire taxed beyond its capacity, will cause a 20 per cent reduction in the heat pro duced by a heating appliance near the end of a circuit—cause a 34 per cent slump in illumination from a lamp connected near the circuit’s end. Kitchen Sets the Pace Since voltage losses exceeding 10 per cent are by no means un i common in many households, the | engineers contend that it be ! hooves those who are planning to i build new homes, or renovate their j present ones, to look into this thing called “adequate wiring.” In making their recommenda tions. the technicians start with Her skill and the appliance were adequate—but the wiring wasn't. * * * the kitchen, greatest user of elec trical service in the home and destined for heavier roles as new peak-efficiency appliances come into more general use. The specialists call for installa tion of one extra-potent 20-ampere circuit to provide power for ap pliances in this room. Lighting, they point out, should be served by a 15-ampere circuit, which may also extend to other rooms m the house. Averting Inconvenience Certain major pieces of equip ment—the electric range, home freezer, hot water heater, dish washer and waste disposer—re quire individual circuits. Even though some oi these pieces may not be added for years, the engi neers are emphatic in their recom mendation for the installation, to day, of spare circuits for tomor row’s needs—a factor which they say will avert heavy expense anc no end of inconvenience later on Proper capacity circuits wil take care of the question of volt Hiiectncai 1 ecnmciaus i Point Way to Economy age drop and efficient operation of lights and appliances, but enough well-placed convenience outlets, lights and switches also are needed to minimize wear and tear on the housewife's disposi tion, according to the specialists. They point out that even the most recalcitrant of cooking recrui‘s will find plenty of allure in a kitchen fitted with lots of hrr / outlets near each work su s for plugging in appliances. Ac - quate lighting over cookins. I 1 preparation and cloamng cent-.s also is termed indi'oensable. Tips on Proper Wiring For this part of the k’*1 wiring installation, the ieL,nu cians recommend: 1. One ceiling light for general illumination, wall switch con trolled. 2. One ceiling or wall light at the sink, wall switch controlled. 3. Lights over the range and food preparation counter. 4. Lights inside cabinets and in closets. Those Convenience Outlets 5. Duplex convenience outlets at table height behind every four feet of work area—excluding the range and sink. 6. Special outlets for presently owned and contemplatad additions to equipment—these to include a recessed receptacle for a clock, special outlets for ventilating fan, electric range, and so on. For sound advice on any phase, of wiring, for the kitchen or the; rest of the house, the engineers: urge the householder to get in: touch with a qualified electrical contractor or a representative of} the power supplier or electric' utility in this area.

I was still in my teens, and I was afraid to say anything. I was not capable to give advice to one such as Anne. Never have I spoken against any one wanting to enter a life with God. Anything truly Godly, has to be good, and Anne was good. I had experienced very little of life and I fought within myself to find some words. I stood up, sat down, and bro kenly said, “Anything yooi ever do will always be good. Ask your God what to do. You can serve Him as well a living example, with a husband and with children. A greater happiness man cannot con ceive than having you as his wife. Surely it is meant for you to make others happy”. Tears filled her eyes and slowly ran down her face.
