STOP AND GO are the stars of a full color, 16-pagc picture book based
on the new film, STOP AND GO, the Safety Twins. The film is pro¬
duced by Ihe J. C. Penney Company in cooperation with’ the National
Safety Council. The book tells the story of how Timmy, after surviving
a series of accidents in a dream sequence, learns all about safety at
home and in the street. Moral of the story is that accidents happen
because sometimes we think of ourselves first and safety last. Distrib¬
uted by the Penney Company, the booklet is designed to prevent acci¬
dents and possible injury among children.

summed up by Dr. Johnson b”
naming Negroes who have not
only participated in all of the
professions and occupations of
this country but who excelled
in many of these endeavors
from Dr. Ralph Bunche down
to the laboring class of Negroes.
He hinted that the American
white man and especially (he
southerner, has been greatly
I surprised that Negroes have
been able to survive western
’ civilization’s ‘ hardships,’’ es-
nerially imposed upon them as
it has been. It was expected of
the Negro, he said, to die out as
bhe American Indian when he
wps freed, with tuberculosis and
jo+her diseases that his
ancestors had not been exposed
to, but Dr. Johnson emphasized
there wire 15.000,000
[counted in the last census. He
expressed doubt as to whether
I there weren't a fe w million
j missed. The Negro isn't even
dying as fast as was predicted,
he said.
Having been used as “stock”
to subsidize “mule power” for
j so many years as slaves, he
;aid. the American white man
never expected the Negro to
live as dignified Americans with
one wife to rear his families,
but in this he has again disap¬
pointed the assumption.
He concluded by saying that
there are many more things
that we loyal Americans may be
able to astound them with, but
there is a question in our minds
as to whether or not the Ameri¬
can white man will allow us
the opportunity to achieve our
full potentialities.
After telling of many of the
worthwhile accomplishments of
the Negro in America and the
splendid overall achievements
he has made, Dr. Johnson point¬
ed out some of the many things
the race must have in the future
to achieve full citizenship. Not
least among these was the need
well prepared lawyers and
other professional men and i
otnei rs in every community
where there is a large Negro j
ponnlation.
