BOND SAVING CLUB |
Full approval is given the movement to
organize bond saving clubs in every com-
miinity. Something holder must be refrain done to from on-
courage every bond to
disposing of the bond they purchase in or-
der to help the government during the war-
These bonds are a form of. savings on which
interest is being secured. By selling the
bond it will have to be done at quite a dis-
count. The purchaser is benefited and the
seller the loser. Every bond holder should
be reached and encouraged to refrain from
disposing of their possession which wiJJI be
of much benefit in years to come.

rt. AGK EYE FOR WHITE PRIMARY
Years ago the democratic method of nom-
mating candidates for office was used
through the mass gathering of the citizens
in every community. To better control
their interest the primary by ballot was
adopted. This was restricted from time to
time to suit the vims of interest in control.
In some states of the south only, the white
primary was adopted- This prevented col¬
ored voters from participating- A large
number of these voters in recent years have
alligned themselves with the Democrats. To
discourage them party rules were tense,
thereby debarring them. The Democrats
have no objection accepting these votes on
general election day but drew the line in the
nominating of officers. This unfair me¬
thod received the strenuous objection of the
colored Democrats. It was left to the stal¬
wart ones in Texas to take legal steps to
assert their objection. They entered the
coijrts. It was fought there for several
years, even twice in the highest tribunal
of the United States. The interested ones
wore not easily discouraged, but continued
the raising of funds to secure legal decision,
The momentous terminating of the case
v as announced on Monday by an eight to
mje, states decision Supreme of the judges'of the United
Court. In the decision of
the court Judge Reed said “This grant to
the people of the opportunity for choice is
not to be nullified by a state through cast-
n.g its electoral process in a form which
permits a private organizaton (political
party) to practice racial discrimination in
the election- Constitutional ri ghts would
be of little value if they could be thus in¬
directly denied.” This decision will not be
readuy accepted by the radical Democrats
of Hie south. Already steps are being
planned to thwart it, Cases in states hav¬
ing restricted primary laws, will be made
and fought to a final decision bv colored
Democrats.

An Easter Meditation
By Ruth Taylor
“There is no atheism in the fox holes”
To my mind that ringing sentence which
came out of the battle fields of the South
Pacific is one of the most soul-stirring slo-
of the war.
Years ago 1 heard it phrased slightly dif~ :
One day in mid-ocean when there j
a, heavy sea rolling steely gray to meet
slightly paler sky, a ship’s doctor said to
"No man who follows the sea can be
an atheist. Those who live amid storms
cannot help but believe in God.”
If this war, to which we are giving all
we hold dear, were but a struggle be-
tween rival nations for power and land—an
enlarged gang warfare—there would be no
hope for the future. The darkness would
cover the earth and it would be as it was be-
fore the beginning of time.
But it is not that kind of a war. This is
between those on the one side who
believe in God and in the God-given rights
a and tW ° n ? e °! her ^ d r y
hotb both the th sovereignty 4 of r God and the tree
will of man.
In this World there is not sufficient' room
for thoae who believe in the dietatorahlp
of the ftpv and the eiialavement of the many,
to dwell side by side in amity with those
who believe in a monotheistic doctrine —
whether ...... v ; they w,v ->' be called v « 1, v« Protestant, n««a«uu, Catho- Vttiuu-
he or Jew. The two methods of life are
"T* diametrically opposed to one another and

i have r J. b „ Ut ^.!! been y , brought an A , merican to Negro say, - whether AU of US it

BEACH HIGH DRAMATIC
CLUB PRESENTS PLAY
By George E. Jenkins
The citizens of Savannah
were given a delightful treat
last Thursday night when the
Beach High Dramatic Club, un
der the direction of Mrs. Ella
P. Law, gave its play, “This
Being Young’’. It was given at
the SSSS which was filled to
capacity with an appreciative
audience.
As the name of the play
plies, it illustrated the whims,
ambitions, disappointments
and all those emotional
tions of being young. All the
actors were well suited for
their parts and played them
flawlessly. The play was a
source of delightful entertain¬
ment for the public. The cast
and director merit much con¬
gratulations.
Besides offering entertain¬
ment for the public the dra¬
matic club performs a vital
part in preparing students for
a useful life. It helps them to
the art of poise and
self - consciousness
other qualities which tend
make public behavior awk-
We hope that the club
continue to present these
The intermission was
by a musical pro¬
w’hich in it self gives
pupils the opportunity to
their talents. Congral
