All members present enjoyed this treat. I The Quack club held a business meeting on Friday, November 15, at which time, they discussed the plans for their Christmas Party. At their regular Wednesday night meeting on November 13. the Timekeepers were somewhat abreast of the time in observing World Fellowship Week. The pro gram chairman, Mrs. Geraldine Melford presented Mrs. Aaron Me Millan, who has spent seventeen years in Portuguese So. Africa. Mrs McMillan brought to the club an interesting discussion on the lives, work and religion of the native Africans. The Timekeepers club, which consists of young mar ried women, were both surprised and amused that African young wives were just as interested in setting a table with flowers and centerpieces as they were. In questioning the speaker, the members received many surpris ing facts such as the beauty of the Africans. They boast of beau tiful girls as much as we and many of them dress in modern dress instead of the customary draped cloth with feet bare. A mong the many things which Mrs. McMillan discussed is the fact that in many homes there are radios and other pieces of modern furni 3404 Bedford Ave. Is located on a double corner lot, 100x128. 6 rooms, all modern, and with a downstairs bedroom, kitch en cabinets, oak floors throughout automatic water heater, garage.

Y—Three mil lion dollars will be set aside by the American Cancer Society from funds collected this year, for co ordinated research to fight the dreaded disease cancer, that knows no race or color, it was announced this week by a spokes man for the Society. Coordinated research was u*ed by the government to develop the atomic bomb and to solve other These accomplishments indicate that similar methods applied to the problems of cancer might yield comparable results. There fore, £he American Cancer Socie ty has retained the National Re search Council, the same body of scientists that helped the govern ment with wartime research to serve as advisor on the cancer research. The Counyi has appointed a Committee on Growth to study all forms of cellular development in man, animal and plants, all of which have a bearing on the can cer problem. The committee, com posed of 14 of the nation’s lead ing authorities on cancer research is charged with planning the So : ciety’s research program. The Committee on Growth, this year, plans to make a number of long-term grants to projects of major importance. The grants will be of such magnitude as to permit individual investigators to appoint associates -for long-term training periods. The fields of research in which the present program is being car ried and organized are concerned with such subjects as cellular bio logy, cytocbhe mistry, radiology', physics, isotdpes, enzymes, horm ones, genetics and viruses. Trans lated into lay terms, they deal with such questions as follows: 1. What causes and controls growth of the normal living cell? 2. Why does cell growth get out of control to form cancer ? 3. What are the fundimental differences, chemically, physical ly and biologically, between the normal cell and the cancer cell? 4. What is the relation between the many substances that can be used experimentally to develoD cancer in animals, and similar sub stances that may develop within or enter the human body? 5. What is the relation between the sex hormones and cancer? 7. What influence does diet have on cancer? One substance, for instance, will cause cancer in animals that have diet deficiences and will not cause cancer in oth ers whose diet is not deficient. 8. Is there a virus factor in human cancer? Such a factor has been found in cancer among fowls and has also been developed in re search on mice. 9. What clues may be found through study of the formation ot celts of the blood, which itself is subject to cancer in the form of leukemia ? 10 What are the hereditary factors in cancer in plants, ani mals, and men, and is there any wav in which we can control them ? 11. Can we slarve or otherwise kill cancer cells in the human boc’v without killing healthy cells? 12. Can we find a way to treat cancer internally by making ra dios.ctive certain substances cn which cell growth denends ? This is a field where atomic research may be applied to cancer. 13. What can we do to extend radium treatments? 14. How can the means of early diagnoses be improved. H ture. The people attend church in i large numbers and are very reli gious. On being questioned as to her feelings about living in South j Africa, Mrs. McMillan revealed that she was vejy happy there. Mrs. Hazel Miller expressed her and the club’s appreciation to Mrs McMillan for the very timely dis cussion. The program chairman, Mrs. Geraldine Melford. promises another pleasant surprise at their next meeting. On Thursday, November 14, the workers in the recent Community Chest Drive were treated with a waffle breakfast at the YWCA. At this meeting Mrs. M. L. Dixon expressed her appreciation to the individuals who worked so dili gently to raise the quota for this division. » World Fellowship Week at the building was observed with a joint service sponsored by the YMCA and YWCA. The theme of the pro gram was “One Lord for One ! World”. Father S. G. Sanchez of St. Philip's Episcopal church, gave a most inspiring and interesting discussion.

MORGAN Lesson VII PRONUNCIATION In the United States accent varies according to the locality in which we live. We find far dif ferent and distinct accents in the east, west, north and south. A person from the east may say “caow” for “cow” and this parti cular trait is sometimes very fas cinating. But if he makes a crude mistake in saying “yestiddy” in stead of “yesterday”, that kind of error in pronunciation would be the kind that originated in ill iteracy. One of the common faults in speech is to drop the letter that ends a word, such as “sumthin” for “something”. Some persons who sound the T in often “often”, make the eiror because he does not know the cor rect pronunciation, or he is care less in speaking, and by rapid utterance of words, fails to notice that he has made a vast error. Another fault in pronunciation is that we clip syllables and slur words and drop consonants, and many times we know better, or do not take the trouble to pro nounce carefully. A person is considered a wise one, who will not use a word un less he knows the correct pronun ciation, and in this case when a word arises in one’s regular trend of conversation, and he knows not just how to pronounce the word correctly, he should substitute an other word, as soon as possible, remembering the word, consult his dictionary, and then use the word as soon as possible in his conversation so that it will soon become very easy for him to pro nounce freely and without self consciousness.

I ALONG | MY WAY' By Lawrence P. Lewis STONING THE LIBERATOR I was purchasing some presents at the American PX in Calcutta, India, during my stay there wait ing for transportation home. It had been a pleasant afternoon, and although it was in mid-Jan uary. the temperature was about 75 degrees and the sky was as clear as a mountain stream. One of the Indians, working as a clerk in the PX, began a conversation with me. “You going home, Sergeant?” the Indian asked. “Yes, I am supposed to be leav ing any day now”, I renlied. This Indian wore British made clothes, and spoke English well. Not exactly as we would speak it, when he talked the words were sometimes out of place or broken but very understandable. He was showing me some of the silver bracelets and lockets that the PX had on sale, but his mind was on politics, not the mer chandise in the show case. The Indian clerk continued to place different pieces of jewelry on the glass counter, giving me the once over several times, not knowing how far to go in this , conversation. | “You find a girl in Calcutta?” he asked hardly above a whisper, and with a half-smile on his face. “I am not looking for a girl”, I answered, appraising the jew elry all the same time. I “You no like Indians?” he in ' quired. i Yes I like Indians. I like al most everybody now”. I replied. ' The Indian clerk leaned over ! closer and said, “This bracelet, 'beautiful isn’t it? Only 28 rupees. I Indians have nothing against you ; people. You are like us. Indians no like white man rule. As soon as Americans go home, there will be trouble, much trouble”. I just remained silent. I was not looking for an argument on race relations in which to spoil my day. * “You like America?” he contin ued. “Certainly”, I answered. “That is my home. I love America. My wife and baby are there’’. I paid the clerk for a bracelet, some earrings and a pin. He thank ed me for the purchase, but tried to prolong my staying by show ing me other articles of interest and value. As I turned away the Indian clerk leaned even further over the counter and whispered, “When you1. {Americans go home there will be much trouble.” Already there had been meetings and gatherings in Calcutta of the Indians. Some of the demonstra tions were on. the verge of riots. Students they called themselves. Their riotings did not interest me although they reminded me of the lynchings in the South. A group i of people taking advantage of others who could not protect them I selves. A few days later a real riot I did break out in Calcutta. We I were not many miles out of Cul 1 cutta, but it was no concern of ours. Americans did not meddle in political affairs of India, unless it was to protect the lives of i American soldiers. A bulletin came I out making Calcutta out of bounds I for American troops. I Our ship, the beautiful, sleek, 1 Marine Angel, had docked and I was booked for passage on it. We were all hoping that the riot would not hold us up. Thousands of us had sweated out weeks waiting for a ship to come in, and now we might not even be able to get to it. Unless you have been thru it you cannot realize the torment one goes through waiting, hoping and praying that tomorrow will be the day. The next morning in the early hours we were oitfered to stand ; by for transportation to the Ma j rine Angel. The half-moon was ! still high in the sky and the stars I mingled with the electric lights of , the camp, helping to light our | way. Somehow it reminded me of | a thief in the night, hiding under [the cover of darkness. As we reached the center of Cal I cutta, the trucks were speeded up. ! ft was just breaking dawn, and I the American MP’s with their white helmets, white jeeps, and automatic guns, wre racing up and down the long convoy of trucks. British soldiers were guarding the streets. All along the routs I saw burned American trucks, many overturned, with the American flag painted or placed on them. Indian boys, some young, some old, stood with angry faces, ready to give somebody an unwelcome shower. A rock shower. Many re ceived that shower. I could not believe all this was happening. I thought about the Indian clerk at the PX. About his words, “when the Americans leave there will be trouble”. Trouble was already here. They had just stoned men who a few months before would have died, as gladly as any man can die, to protect India, her peo ple and their homes. Immeriately following the prog ram a number of calls were re menting upon the success of the program. The next program will be Sunday, December 22nd. The Waiters Column By H. W.

Life At A Glance Well the Republicans walked into a sweeping victory in every part of the country except the so lid south. .What with all the pub licity that has been given them, the south should awaken; they may not be so hot after all. May be they should have crawled up on the elephant, and made the vie tory complete. .Already there is much talk about cutting down taxes, but hardly a day passes but there is not something in the papers about the increase of some commodity. But what strikes me is I haven’t seen or heard a word about any increase in wages. Well, it should be well known by J this time that John Q Public was aware of the reasons the Demo- | crats tossed the meat situation on the lap of the Republicans, and they in turn, flooded the market with steaks and pork chops..But what I don’t think anybody has thought about, is what they may be paying for a rib or neck-bone this time next year. Look out for the lifting of ceil ings on lumber.. and what follows next? The lifting of the controls of rents.. In the not too distant future, you may wake up on the next morning and find the land lord slapping a ten to fifteen per cent raise on your rent..Yes sir, that will be the day, and I mean the sad day.. What Mister Politician does not know now. and hasn’t understood in the past about his dear voters is that they will change up on you over night.. You knight, they may vote for you this time, and if they feel they have been let down fal tho I don't say they are) they will cast the most asparaging vote against you. .Beware Republicans don’t let the steaks and chops stop flowing. .The voters might do it to you in 1948. The late FDR seems to have been about the only politician who knew his voters. He called them “My friends’’ and they liked it. But what’s more he liked them and worked for them; defied most of out the country to work for them and long live FDR. .Long live FDR! There are no FDR’s in the pre sent day set-up of the Republi cans, or Democrats for that mat ter; and the election in 1948 may find some dark horse standing in the midst of a whole lot of vo ters who have turned against the two major parties, .cheering him WOODARD TOUR OF NAACP BRANCHES CONTINUES FROM DENVER, COLO. NEW YORK, Nov. 14th—Altho a walking testimonial against Lynwood L. Shull, Batesburg po lice chief who blinded him. Isaac Woodard had to cancel all person al appearances before West Coast branches in order to appear in court at the Federal trial of his attacker. He was forced to sit by while an all-white jury acquitted Shull in the record time of twenty eight minutes.

The play written by Arnaud D’Usseau and James Gow, deals with problems of the Negro vet eran returning to the South. frantically to lead them. Life is so strange. What makes it look so cynical and unrealistic sometimes is the things you see and hear about. For instance the most conservative observer in the political ‘know all” today will tell you the world is turning to the left and here we are in the United States turning to the right.. It looks like the chances for “One World” are gone bye, bye.. and I don’t mean maybe. Have we forgotten that only a few years ago, the New Deal was accused of being a dictator ship? Now both Republicans and Democrats are ready to shove the Presidency over to the Republi cans because Congress is Repub lican. Makes you doubt whether the advocators of such a change really believed in a two party system. .Certainly they have little regard for the Constitution the forefathers wrote. ARK. HIGH COURT UPHOLDS FREEDOM FOR NEGRO PRESS A signal victory for freedom of the Negro press in the South was won at Little Rock, Arkansas, on November 11 when the State Su preme Court there reversed a Pu laski circuit and dismissed con tempt charges against Daisy and Christopher Bates, publishers of the weekly newspaper, The Ark ansas State Press. Both defendants had been sen tenced to ten days in jail and $100 fine by the lower court for their support of a strike at the South ern Cotton Oil Company where a Negro picket was killed and three others sentenced to a year in jail. T^e .newspaper report was cap tioned "Strikers Sentenced to Pen by Hand-Picked Jury.” j Expressing the unanimous op Respect Democracy By Ruth Taylor Father Wilfrid Parsons brought out an interesting thought not long ago which expresses a great deal of what is wrong in our atti tude toward government. He said that we are out to treat leg islation as a sports event, that a bill may be carefully and thought fully worked out and brought be fore Congress but when the vote is taken the headlines read, "Such and such a side won." This is a strong indictment. Is legislation to be a battle of wits.. or a genuine effort to bring to pass a law for the government of all the people? Must there be a winner and a loser in government? Or is this a government of the people, by the people and for the people ? We must be more dignified in our concept of public life. We must make it not a sports event where the cleverest is the best, but a career in which a man does the best he can. We need to treat with as much respect the oath of office as we do the physician’s oath. Only as we take seriously our duties as citizens, prayerfully, earnestly seeking out the best men for the job, regardless of the party or the creed to which they belong, then dignifying them with respect and expecting them due recognition of the responsibi lity they owe. .not to the voters who elected them, but to all the people of the United States.. only as we act this way can we pro perly dignify the democratic pro cess. Let us show what we really mean by a government of the people, by the people. Let us stop thinking of it as a race or a glori fied advertising competition and treat our government as we would have outsiders consider it. If WE don’t respect the democratic pro cess, we can’t expect our world neighbors to do so. The election is over. The major ity has decided. Now let us all. . majority and minority alike, .get behind those whom we have elec ted and prove that we truly re spect democracy. inion of the State Supreme Court Chief Justice Griffin Smith, a for mer newspaper man, declared, “such comment does not create a present danger to the admini stration of justice.” The Court further held that there is “no rule of law permitting sentences and court fines merely because a news paper thinks some judge had mis takenly stated the law.” Mr. and Mrs. Bates were defend ed by Ross Robly and Elmer Scog gin. private counsel. The American Civil Liberties Union had volun teered to carry the case to the U. S. Supreme Court should the defense lose at Little Rock. • WATCH for The GUIDE’S Cameraman!
