These were some glimpses of con versa tio® as CIO wives were getting ready to leave the week-long leadership training session of the Congress of Womens’ Auxiliaries, CIO, at Port Huron, Michigan. It was fun indeed. We all enjoyed the pleasures of summer camp life. There was swimming and dancing and plenty of fresh air. We’d sit around in the evening and listen to Joe Glazer sing those wonderful union songs and felt the spirit of companionship settle among us. But there was also hard work and plenty of it. A day each was devoted to such subjects as community services, education, legisla tion, safety, and the structure and function of the CIO. The classes ran from 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M.—a heavy schedule. There was keen interest in the day-long discussion of political action. Practically everyone present had already taken part in political action work in her community. All were eager to learn more, to discuss new techniques, to round out their know-how as politically effective citizens . The class on the political action program included two very in teresting films. And quite a few of the participating women got “practical experience” acting out the roles of precinct leaders and block workers. “I just wish every CIO wife could attend a session like this”, one girl summed up her comments, “the union would count a lot more in our families.” “And our families could do so much more for the union and for the community,” she added. Congress will adjourn in a few weeks if all goes as scheduled. Most of the lawmakers will be heading for home to rest a bit, mend political fences .and get around among their constituents. It is an excellent time to drop in to see your Congressman. Every Congressman has an office, furnished to him by the gov ernment, in his Congressional district. It is not hard to find out where it is. Your CIO Political Action Chairman can certainly tell you. He can also refresh your memory on the key issues in your dis trict and what your Congressman has done or failed to do about them. You certainly should not be at a loss as to what to talk about to your Congressman. He is interested in what your group is doing and what your problems and your views are. And you will undoubtedly learn a good bit about interesting leg islative matters from him. At any rate, you’ll get a personal impres sion of the man or woman you elected. * * * * If the Senate confirms him, we’ll soon have a new Secretary for Health, Education and Welfare, Mr. Marion B. Folsom. If you look over the list of the various activities which he will head up, it is easy to see how the accomplishments or failures of this man affect our lives as mothers and homemakers. The list of activities combined under the Department of Health,. Education and Welfare includes: The Public Health Service; the Social Security Administration with its Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance, its Bureau of Public Assistance, and the Children’s Bureau; the Office of Voca tional Rehabilitation; and the Food and Drug Administration. One CIO wife we know marks every reference to one of these activities in her local newspaper with a red pencil. On some days the paper is all marked up. It gives her and her friends a pretty good idea how government affects every aspect of our lives. That woman participated enthusiastically in CIO political action to make sure it’s good government. Beth u lie's Will Appears In Ebony Just before Dr. Mary McLeod j Bethune died she prepared fori EBONY her Last Will And Test ament so that people could always j have the benefit of her council j and experiences. This document appears in the August edition of EBONY. Among the nine points stressed are: Love: “Love,” wrote Dr. Beth une, “is a precept which could ; transform the world if it were universally practiced.” Confidence in one another: She; said that as long as we are hem med in by economic prejudices, the Negroes as a group must dem onstrate more confidence in each other in business. Thirst for education: “Know ledge is the prime need of the hour,” wrote Dr. Bethune. “If we continue in this trend, we will be able to rear increasing num bers of strong, purposeful men and women.” Respect for the use of power: Dr. Bethune advised the intel ligent use of Negro power which she said, if properly directed, can lead to more freedom. She 1 warned, however, not to marshall this tremendous power behind yindejnochatic movements that seek to subvert democracy. Faith: “Faith in God is the greatest power, but great, too, is faith in oneself. The measure of our progress as a race is in pre cise relation to the depth of the faith in our people held by our leaders.” Responsibility to our young people: “Our children must nev er lose their zeal for building a better world,” said Dr. Bethune.) “They must not be allowed to! forget that the masses of our people still are underprivileged, j ill-housed, impoverished and vie- j timized by discrimination.” “Freedom gates are half ajar,” I concluded Dr. Bethune. “We must pry them fully open'” I Seein’ Stars New York (CNS) D.

Satchel Paige Appeals In East-West Classic Battle lines have been drawn for the big East vs West Negro Baseball Classic on Sunday after noon, July 31, at Comiskey Park, which includes one of the great est “crowd pullers” in thi3 long rivalry dating back to 1933—the one and only LeRoy (“Satchel”) Paige. , Paige, famed ‘ageless’ pitcher, was the first player chosen to play for the West and rightly so. This skinny, lanky right-handed thrower, who’ll be making his fifth All-Star . appearance, was responsible for attracting close to 200,000 fans through the turn stiles of Comiskey Park in his first four All-Star showings. Satchel besame eligible for this year’s (Classic when Tom Baird of the famed Kansas City Monarchs signed baseball’s hardy perrenial to a reported $4,0000 pact to play again for the Mon achs, Paige inked his contract last June 2 after being idle for almost a year. Thus, Paige a gain will represent the Monarchs in the Negro American League’s best attraction. In addition to Monarch play ers, the West squad also will in clude the top performers of the Memphis Red Sox. On being informed that he was the first player named for the July 31 Classic, Paige retorted to Owner Baird: “That’s the way it should be, I’m still a good pit cher, if not a great one. My re cord in four All-Star games will bear me out. But if others want proof, let them come out to Com iskey Park the afternoon of the game and I’ll show them my fast ball. I hope the Chicago fans know I’m coming, as I’d rather play before them than anyone else.” Since Paige’s team manager, John (“Buck”) O’Neil, of the Monarchs, is handling the West squad, there’s a strong possibility that Buck will let Paige hurl the first three innings. Paige won two, lost one and worked briefly in onel game in his previous Classics. The East, which will be led into battle by Ed Steele, of Birming ham’s Black Barons whose talent along with that of the Detroit Stars will comprise the East team has four players who were in the big event last year. They are Birmingham's Eddie Brooks and John Kennedy, infielders, and Otha Bailey, catcher, and De troit’s Willie Ivory, infielder. The West squad will have 16 players, including manager O’Neil, who’ll be gunning for his third straight as an All-Star pi lot. The East has nominated 18 for its roster, includig coach Doc Dennis, of Birmingham, who played first base last year, and Manager Steele. The squads: West Outfielders —Dave Whitney, Kansas City; Eddy Reid, Mem phis; Ray Higgins, Memphis; In fielders— A1 Gartmill, Kansas City; Zvilly Washington, Mem phis; Hank Bayliss, Kansas City; Catchers — Juan Armenteros, Kansas City; and Harry Barnes, Memphis Pitchers — LeRoy (“Satchel”) Paige, Kansas City; Bill Hill, Kansas City; Enrique Morano, Kansas City; Isiah Har ris, Memphis; Charlie Davis, Memphis; Bill Barnes, Memphis. East Outfielders —Joe Montgomery, Detroit; John Williams, Bir mingham; Rufus Gibson, Bir- j mingham; Hedman Green, De-; troit; Infielders —Eddie Brooks,' Birmingham; Ezelle King, De- ! troit; Willie Ivory, Detroit; John j Kennedy, Birmingham; Catch-j crs—Otha Bailey, Birmingham; ! and Pat Patterson, Detroit; Pit chers—Aaron Jones, Detroit;.

Old Baseball Players Clubs and the Chicago Negro Chamber of Commerce have formed a Citizens Boosters chapter to spurfinterest in the East - West Classic* Han nibal Cox is president; Kit Bald win, vice-president; A. L. Foster, publicitor of the Negro Chamber of Commerce, and Dr. J. B. Mar ( tin, president of the game’s spon , soring Negro American League.

WILLIE MAYS CHOSEN COVER BOY ON MAGAZINE Willie Mays, brilliant outfielder of the New York Giants, has been selected as “cover boy” for the j 1955 edition of Dell’s “Baseball | Annual,” which went on • sale at newsstands throughout the nation j last week. A national survey of the Dell Publishing Company circulation | field force proceeded the cover : selection. The field men reported that Mays’ popularity extended | beyond the Polo Grounds, beyond the area of the National League, to the entire country. According ly, the smiling Willie—in a full color portrait made at the Polo ; Grounds by Photographer David Preston— was emblazoned on the front cover of “Baseball An nhals” fourth edition.

Lists Heart Facts There are five key facts every local resident should know a bout heart disease, according to the Nebraska Heart Association. “Today, hearts are being saved because heart research is making amazing advances -- because people are beginning to know these five hopeful facts,” says the Association. 1. Some forms of heart dis ease can be prevented . . . a few can be cured. 2. All heart cases can be cared for best if diagnosed early. 3. Almost every heart condi tion can be helped by pro per treatment. 4. Most heart patients can keep on working — very] , often at the same job. i 5. Your “symptoms” may - or may not mean heart dis ease. Don’t guess-don’t worry. See your doctor and be sure. The Association urges annual check-ups for persons over 40 as the best possible protection a gainst serious heart damage. An estimated 80,000 Nebraskas are afflicted with one of the three major types of heart dis ease-high blood pressure, hard ening of the arteries, and rheu matic fever. Although more than half the state’s deaths are due to heart disease, there is new hope for your heart because of new drugs, surgical operation^ treatments and diagnostic tools.

Anti-segregation amendments to the federal aid to school construction, military re serves training and other bills were endorsed by delegates at tending the tenth national conven tion of the Association of Catho lic Trade Unionists which closed here last week. A resolution passed by the con vention “supports these anti-seg regation amendments and vigor ously condemns such opposition to the amendments, basing its pol icy on the opinion that there is no excuse for the denial of basic hu man rights and freedoms.” The ACTU resolution points out that “these amendments are de signed to implement the basic right to equal treatment and fa cilities regardless of race, color, or national origin” and notes that “opposition has arisen to such a mendments on the pragmatic grounds that they are hindering the passage of needed legislation.” “GOLDEN AGERS" ENJOYING CAMP The second annual “Golden Agers” camp began at the Gene Eppley Salvation Army Camp on Wednesday, July 20th.
