SOUND LOGIC FOR ALL "The Negro Worker,” a small magazine pub lished at Tuskeegee Institute, Alabama, by the Book er T. Washington Leadership Association, contained an editorial in its latest issue that embodies some truths that white people as well as negroes might ponder over and not forget. S. J. Phillips is found er of this publication which recently celebrated its first anniversary. Phillips once worked with the Ne gro Chambers County Training School where he es tablished a reputation for hard work and became a credit to his race. Under the heading, "Success is earned in Ad vance,” the Negro Worker stated: "Men don’t just succeed; they win their success. You would be surprised if you heard the stories of some men who have made their way from poverty to riches. They had to work hard, suffer long, and endure much before they reached the heights. "Your foreman didn’t just happen to be the foreman. He was in the making years ago when he was working like you are, but at wages much less. He applied himself. He tried to learn. He could be depended upon. He was interested in his work. He always did the best job he could. He earned his suc cess long before he became the foreman of the com pany. "The best workman on your job has been learn ing how to do good work for years. He has made it a habit to do his best at all times. The habit be came a part of him. That’s why it’s so easy for a good workman to do good work. "You can be a good workman, too. You can be as good a workman as your foreman. All you have to do is become interested in what you are do ing, do the best you can each day, and in time you will be a success because that is the way it is earned. "Whatever heights one may reach in life is the result of what he did and how he lived in the past. What we call success is just the payoff for sacrifices and honest work done in advance The program of The Negro Worker is stated under the masthead, as follows: "L To point out to negro workers the op portunities of the present and to emphasize their re sponsibilities to those who have made these opportun ities possible. "2. To impress the negro worker with the need of doing a full day’s work every day. Sam Brand says — f MEMBERSHIP DRIVE f6r THE CREDIT UNION r RUN across one of these adver- tisin’ fellers the other day—and I ggger he’s got a pretty good slant on things. He says advertisin’ is first makin’ things as good as you can, an’ then tellin’ other folks about ’em. He says us fellers here in the plant are really the important advertisin’ men. He figgers this way: he can tell folks about our Brand Name, and mebbe get ’em to buy it once or twice. But the only way to keep ’em comin’ back for more is to show ’em they can count on its always bein’ good. If you let the customers down they’ll quit buyin’—and there ain’t anything the advertisin’ feller can do about it. He says all us adver tisin’ men got to work together to keep the customers satisfied. “Every member get a new mem ber.” You can join bv paying 25c and agreeing to save units of $5.00. (Any amount can be deposited on any day through collector in your department.) This is an EMPLOY EES MUTUAL ASSOCIATION. The Credit Union now has nearly 300 members. $6,000.00 in assets and loans totaling about $500.00 a month. Your money is sale. All records are supervised by North Carolina State officials. OFFICERS ARE BONDED. When loans are made they are at low rates and are made for the purpose of helping each other. The more loans made—if repaid by INSTALLMENTS as agreed — the more DIVIDENDS paid to the members at the end of the year. You can use the Credit Union for loans so that you can pay cash for purchases of all kinds—espe cially clothing, lots, cars, electric al appliances. The Credit Union is a good thing and the saving advantage is as great, or greater than Borrowing advantage. I hereby make application for membership in and agree to con form to the by-laws or any a- mendments in the Melrose Glwin Credit Union. Signed Date Address Dept, and Plant "3. To encourage habits of industry, thrift, and loyalty as essential in self development and ra cial advancement and to stress the need of patriotism, education and religion in character building. "4 To urge teamwork among negro workers and their employers to the end that the best inter est of both may be served. "Note: For the carrying out of this program, we earnestly seek the full cooperation of the mil lions of negroes engaged in industry and agriculture and their employers.” The Negro Worker points out to the negro race something that can bring them farther along the road to a better way of life that far exceeds anything we have yet heard or read on the subject. Such publi cations are deserving of the support they ask for such a worthwhile program. —All- Editorial from the Lafayette (Ala.) Sun.
