Since it is evident that mi¬
norities can expect little action
on civil rights legislation from
this Democratic Congress, it
might be well for them to turn
their attention to the economi c
problem, so they can figure out
some way to keep food in th
uanlr -V wh le they fight for
rights. From all indica¬
tions, the Truman Administra¬
tion has given the hunger sit¬
uation no consideration We do
not know how soon tin- bureau-
will get together on unem-
and the exact state
the depression, but tie .soon-

termine for themselves, free of
politics, what the r true plight
senator May bank (D?-S. C.)
chairman of the Banking Com-
mittee, said large scale part-
time employment is .general
throug'.iout the textile mills in
section. Rep. Wcodhous^
id -Conn.) a former eecnombst
declared "hidden unemploy-
meri i” <g greater in New En¬
gland than in any other part of
the country. Rep. Wf diener
(R.-Mich) reports a lawge per-
centage of the plants in iis
area are now operating only
two days a week.
Democrats scoff at heavy un-
employment, as witnessed by
statement of Senator
D-Wyo.), “Figures
subject to tremendous m's-
While there if
my mployment, it
not of the magnitude nor
attributed to it.”
The good senator should take
a stroll through' 'Harlem,' Chl-
caago’s South side, Detroit's St
Antoine street, Los Angeles'
Central avenue, or visit the em¬
ployment agencies in any col¬
ored d strict in the United
States and he would not make
such a statement. We hope the
Democrats are not as disinter¬
red in whether nfinoritij-s
cat as they are in their civil
rights, It is estimated by col-
red leaders that over 1,1 000 000
teg roes are out of work, !

The Democrats should im-
med.ately devise means of tak¬

norities had hoped, throiM l

tie Truman administration is
sf eing to it that they don’t get

J. M. Washington, instructor
at the Haven Home publii
school, who is retiring from the
leaching profession, was hon-
>red by the principal and tea¬
chers of Haven Home with a
special luncheon on Thursday

Mrs. O. H. L. Mclver praised
Mr. Washington for his loyalty
through the years and present¬
'd him with an initialed fitted
case in behalf of the faculty.
In response, Mr. Washingtor
assured the group that he ap¬
preciated the gift and that he
was merely relinquishing hi?
duties as teacher, but that he
planned to continue to take an
active part in school and com¬
munity activities.

and Australia are the largest

L f Treats For Tiny Tots
Tor The Home Cook" *
>«• ••
Baby’s very first food, and a basic
food throughout life, is milk —
‘ Nature’s most nearly perfect food”.
Not only is milk baby's first and
most essential food, but it also plays
an important pari in introducing
baby to more solid foods and to
the use of a Rpoon. Served in the
form of colorful, easy-to-digest
rennet-custards, tots enjoy the
variety of flavors and the smooth,
cool texture — and soon discover
it's fun to eat milk with a spoon.
Busy mothers like it too; rennet-
custards are so easy to prepare and
so good for baby.
Why not treat your favorite tot
today!
