phillitic heart disease totalling 160,000 are
found each year. Afore than 21,000,000
man days are lost each year because of
■Syphilis. Syphilis strikes one out of
four people, crippling, deforming, killing,
It strikes without symptoms many times,
There is no pain, no sign of disease. It
is>in the blood, and only a blood test can
let one know that one lias it.
Tuberculosis is another outstanding
cause of death. Eighty-five cases out of
a hundred are found too late to be helped
because they waited too long for an X-Ray.
Most of these cases die. But of those who get 1
X-Rays early, as a regular part of an annual
physical check-up, seventy-five out of every
hundred are diagnosed when the disease is
ju^t beginning. Most of these cases are
cured and restored to a useful life.
We appreciate the interest of our health

MACON DECISION
.Judge Davis’ decision in the case (if
v«jously I’Jjmus King interpreted of Columbus, b.v lawyers Georgia and is being lay- !
mjpi, most of whom seem to feel that gen-
ihH e**lly the decision does not break down
barriers which prevent Negroes from
wSite vdjtiug. The will interesting thing lengths is that do-1
men go to such to
prf"? Negro dHz' tr of rights that the (
s#u(ion of the United States sal’s they j
should have. ol
“Even wllea uurts say Negroes t
should have the right to vote, white
struggle to find ways of nullifying
court’s decision. It is therefore
ing to find a man who is willing to
candid and fair. Mr. Kravitch
the commendation of fairminded
for his letter to the Forum, entitled
Negro and The Primary. The last
graph of his letter is especially
cant to us. We quote:
“Since it must be clear to many of
us that the day of the exclusion of the
Negro fdom political participation in
the government where he lives is on
the way out, it strikes me that a far
lietter solution of the problem would
be to try to work it out in the light of
tolerance and mutual understanding,
instead of blind adherence to the forces
of bigotry, intolerance and class
hatred. It must be clear to all think¬
ing men that a nation cannot be half
free and half slave, and this applies
to the field of political science as well
as to other fields of human endeavors,
and this has no reference to social
equality, the bugaboo of all discus¬
sions."
Representative Clare Boothe Luce
a sentiment which more and more
Amertoans are expressing. The National
Education Association expressed the
thought a few days ago.
Mr. Kravitch is in agreement with them.
Representative Luce is proud of her
in the Daughters of the
Revolution the purpose of which is to
vere the memory of the heroes of
war of independence, and she says, “But 1
1 have not forgotten why our
cestors fought. They fought to be
from the humiliation and oppression
political inequality. . And when they
won their liberty, they found in
name a nation dedicated to the
principle that all men are equal in the
of our government as they are in the
of God. This was the spirit of the men
of the Revolution and of the men
wrote our constitution. This spirit
be eternally at war with racial
and discrimination."

Out* leaders must not slacken in

decision might possibly act as a deterrent
upon some of our people, 'there are signs

There are signs that our old friend is
coming tp life again. The officers of

A WISE MINORITY
We are almost at the point of agreeing
the minority members of the five man
instructors’ committee who sent a
to Atlanta to request an investi-
ol' conditions at the Georgia
The fact that the suggestion
minority members was not accepted is
the reason why they backed out
committee. They were willing to op¬
on the basis of the law of the jungle:
or be eaten. They were not in agree-
with'the mild measures, the employ-
of which probably accounts, in part
least, for the fact that not one of the
m , e members of the committee are now

j 1at minority members wanted to use

lan requisitioning girls, or writing allur-
letters to thorn, the type of' things
even the failure to use $5,100 qJ-
money cannot offset.
YOUR WORK

How do you work? Do you finish what
start to do? Do you have to do things
er? Do you work because you have
or to fill up time?
It was Carlyle who wrote “Genius is the I
capacity for taking pains. And
is that ability, that willingness of spirit
is even more important than man-
a ] dexteritv or mental skills.
AU wor k j s as seeds sown: it grows and
like the ripples from a stone thrown

job right. Carelessness is a habit-form-
drug, insidious in its sapping of morale,
deadly in its effects.
The work that each of us do, the work
is before us, is our job, to Ik? done bv
We must prove that we do it better
anyone else.
But there is another thing to be remem-
Dr. Stelzle brought it out in an

erly used by a Japanese congrega¬
tion. Its office is open for all
types of friendly service seven
days a week. Dr. and Mrs. Thur¬
man have taken a house and chris¬
tened it by a “house warming”
with the writer as honor guest the
second Sunday evening in Septem¬
ber. The adventure of this church
into the broad-gauge fellowship of
peoples of Negro, Chinese, Japa¬
nese, Filipino, Caucasian and any
other extractions is making its
impact upon the community, espe¬
cially upon church' leaders for
whom this is a living challenge to
their past policies and practices.
In Sacramento the Race Rela¬
tions Commission of the Council
of Churches under the courageous
leadership of Rev. Wilder V. 1m-
mell, pastor of the Freeport Boule¬
vard Christian Church, and the
Sacramento Council for Civic
Unity, led by Dr. Henry T. Taylor,
Vice-President of the Sacramento
College, are making solid first
steps in organizing and orienting
leaders of the city to the import¬
ance of dealing with their com¬
munity racial problems while they
are not so acute.
The visitor to Northern Cali¬
fornia is greatly impressed by the
vast agricultural production in
fruits, vegetables, livestock and
other eatables. The wonderful part
of San Francisco with its marvel¬
ous engineering of vast bridges
and tunnels across the Bay area is
also striking. The West Coast
people arc doing big things in a
big way.
Oas io even more mipre..cJ by
the vast changes in population
which the war and its demands
ployer hesitate. In other cases
i like stores and offices
they fear
the white public.
In the San Francisco Bay area
there are interracial commissions
of both the San Francisco Council
of Churches, with Dr. Hubert II.
I.andram as Executive Secretary;
the Oakland Council of Churches,
with Rev. Eugene A. Hessel as
Secretary; and the Northern Cali-
.fOinia-Western Nevada Council of
Chui'ches under the leadership of
I)r. Abbott Book, who leaves no
.dpubt that he means business
relations. There'
is also the San Fratieisfco Civic
Unity Council patterned after a
similar council in Los Angeles that
began a few months ago as a co¬
ordinating and clearance agency
for,ail the forces dealing with the
complicated problems of racial re¬
lations in, their complete port city.

pattern, hacked hv the atti¬
tude of the Chinese themselves and
that of the white community, is
greatly influencing the trends of
segregated residence and other
patterns of community adjustment
Probably the outstanding event
besides the open door policy of the
San Francisco Y. W. C. A., which
an itinerant visitor notices in the
Bay Area, is The Church for the
Fellowship of All Peoples—an ad¬
venture in Christian worship and
service across all racial and cul¬
tural lines—-led by co-pastors, Dr.
Howard Thurman, noted Negro
scholar and on leave as Dean of
the Chapel of Howard University,
Washington, D. C.; and Professor
Alfred G. Fisk. Jr., Dean of the
Department of Psychology and
Philosophy of the San Francisco
State College. From a small group
of about 35 the membership has
grown in a year to more than 130
regular members and probably as
many more visitors who worship
as part of the congregation on
Sunday mornings. It is a regular
organized church—not just a wor¬
ship service fellowship. They have
recently- moved to a new location
