‘WASTING ENERGY’
The Editors: For what cause are
these Negro leaders (so named)
shouting their followers into a fro
thy pitch of enthusiasm?
So they can sit at a lunch counter
with white people! To sit beside a
white person on a bus! To send
to white schools! And after
they have attained these things,
will their race have all the dignity
it so hungers for?
No! Dignity is not something that
can be handed to the Negro by mak¬
ing it possible for him to sit beside
a white person at a lunch counter.
It is a senseless waste of energy
and spirit for these Negro leaders
to try to give their people a hollow
and childish victory when their ef¬
forts could be channeled toward
helping the Negro to gain self-res¬
pect and morality within his own
race, which in turn would demand
respect from the white people. Thus
would come the dignity they are
striving so hard for.
These misguided people and their
leaders must understand that no
person nor race achieves true dig¬
nity by decree.
I believe they should stop carry¬
ing their Bibles and start reading
them.

JUDGE CITES PARENTS
FOR DELINQUENCY
(Special to The Atlanta Journal)
MONTEZUMA, Ga., Aug. 14 —
Superior Court Judge Tom Marsh¬
all of Americus talked with con¬
cern of the problem of juvenile de¬
linquency before members of the
Montezuma Kiwanis Club.
Introduced by City Attorney W.
F. Blanks, Judge Marshall cited
lack of parental supervision, guid¬
ance, discipline, the failure of the
adult population to measure up to
the standards they set for the young,
and the mobility provided by the
motor car as prime factors in the
delinquency problem.
“Only parents,” said the judge,
“can mold a child from his earlier
years to have respect for other peo¬
ples’ rights and property, to render
obedience to properly constituted
authority, and to appreciate hard
work as a means to reach achieve¬
and recognition.”

I BELIEVE . . .
The creed of John D. Rockefeller
Jr. was inscribed on a marble me¬
morial dedicated July 16, at Rock¬
efeller Center of which he was the
founder. Three of his sons, David,
Laurence, and Nelson, and his sec
ond wife Martha, took part in the
ceremony.
Mr. Rockefeller first included hi*
creed in a public address at Fisk Un¬
iversity, Nashville.
This is the text:
I believe in the supreme worth of
the individual and in his right to
life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap¬
piness.
I believe that every right implies
a responsibility; every opportunity,
an obligation; every possession, a
duty.
I believe that the law was made
for man and not man for the law;
that government is the servant of
the people and not their master.
I believe in the dignity of labor,
whether with head or hand; that
the world owes no man a living but
that it owes every man an oppor¬
tunity to make a living.
I believe that thrift is essential
to well-ordered living and that ec¬
is a prime requisite of a sound
structure, whether in gov¬
business or af¬
fairs.
I believe that truth and justice
are fundamental to an enduring soc¬
ial order.
I believe in the sacredness of a
promise, that a man’s word should
be as good as his bond; that char¬
acter—not wealth or power or pos¬
ition—is of supreme worth.
I believe that the rendering of
useful service is the common duty
of mankind and that only in the
purifying fire of sacrifice is the
dross of selfishness consumed and
the greatness of the human soul set
free.
I believe in the all-wise and all
loving God, named by whatever
name, and that the individual’s hi¬
ghest fulfillment, greatest happi¬
ness, and widest usefulness are to
be found in living in harmony with
His will.
I believe that love is the greatest
thing in the world; that it alone can
overcome hate; that right can and
will triumph over might.
