The Caro lina Times commends thosi who have contributed time and money to the suceessful operation of a Negro library in Durham. They have done weff Bnd ffibuld re ceive the praise of all Durham citizens. But Diiriiam ought not be sat isfied with operating a fairly good library under adverse cir eninatances. Durham leads in new building and more money in order that it may make a bigger contribution to the cultural sida of life in our city. The source from which the money should come is not a ques tion to be debated in these col- ums. We are satisfied to leave that particular aide ©f tiie ques tion in the hands of those more acquainted with financing libra ries. We do suggest however tLat a more equitable tf»are of the money appropriated for iSbraries in Durham will prevent some of tbe bitterness which is sure to arise when it is discovered that the right thing is| not being done for the local library operated foi Durham colored citizens. It. has be%n said that the pro press of a community may fee determined by its churche.?, libra ries, schools and hospitals.

The Durham Colored Library needs a last 25 years. The Carolina Times calh on all Durham to render our colo red library more financial as well as; mor^l support. The colored race is now going to school in larger numfbem than at any time siHiee GmAncipation. Taie r^rtration of Septefmber 1'937, will top the enrollment in all grades, from the Idndergor- t§n, to the .university. Entrants of college grade will reach an all time high, over 2,00Q of whom will be graduated four years.* from now, while perhaps as many more will fall by the way with uncompleted college education. The facilities, faculties, and stan dards of instruction of Negro col leges are far superior to what they have (been in past year*. An increasing numfber of colored students are entering northern colleges and universities having ideal equipment, standards, nnd tradition. Four years from now the voice of the commencement ora tor and the baccaulaureate preacher will be resounding tbru out the land. A generation ago graduates were urged to’ go out into the world imbued with the missionary sipirit to serve their ,race‘ and country, day and gene ration. They were inspired not only to_ devote theVnselves to the upliftment of their race in this land, but to carry the learning and enlightenment to their dark brethren in Africa, who still bow ed down to "stock and stone” in their ignorance a^d blindnesj. Every college-bred man felt him self to be a “chosen” person, they serve as the decorative re minder of a tini« when they wei o useful to hold up the sword belt, but when men ceased to wear swords they lost their utility, and sur^ved merely as an adorn ment. sermohic ap]^cal vof the baccaulaureate discours‘d faUai upon deaf ears and dull heart, and fully illustrates what St. Social Notes TAMPA FLOGGERS— Cotitmii*d from pag« Tampa hospital shortly after W rerott of Inj'aries eustniwedt The defendants are C. / I Brown, Jr., Sam E.

The lull in murders which has existed during the summer months may expect to tailce a decided turn for the viorse within the next 30 da^s. Crime will march in Durham, blood will Ibe spilled in Durham, as is alwas the case when winter comes. Already the criminal has started his bloody reig:n. l^sl week brought a toll of one dead from being ataM>ed, whil^ anoth er ia in the hosfpitaL In',^everal of Durham’s Negro section ^lere occured last weelt^^ig^** *'“ar fights which might have^ veloped into cuttings or shootlni exacting a deadly toll. What is Durhma going to do about crime? How can local citi- zen4 combat this ruthless flow of blood Why does the .percentage of crime decrease in tie summer and increase in the winter, The » Carols Times believes the ans wer to the last question Can b»‘ fonnd in the fact that there arf; more places of amusement for members of the race. during the summer months than during ths winter moatht^ |B«sebal,l the re cent erectjon of a swimming - pool, free '^owiWg pictures and etber outdoor activities we be- lievi are conducive to a lessen ing of crime among Negroes. There are very few, if any,, places of wholesome amusem*jnt' for Ngroes in Durham during tije winter months. In addition the poverty of the Negro makes it necessary for him to economize by housing from two to four families in places where only one should live. Likewise the houses are usualty poorly cout structed and located on streets which are unpaved and poorly lighted. All of these conditions are breeders of crime. nian cry wherever that call might be heard. The northern mission aries, who had planted these col leges, had, also, implanted the spirit of sacrifice |uid service in the minds of the graduates. But, alas, how different today- The cold, calculating demands of a practical age has changed all thisi The Spirit of sacrifice, altru ism, and enthusiasm for human ity has faded all but tothe van’s- hing point. Thirty yeafS ftgo I heard President Wilbur P. Thir- kield, in his first baccaulaureate discourse at Howard University, urge the young graduates to “go 5outh”, and make themnelves ra diant centers of life and light in the bedarkened nooks and corn ers of the Southland. His listen ers heard him respectfully, if not convincingly.

Roob Thot Boffl* Tim* When Trinity Church In New York was built In 1846 it was roofed with copper. The ro''f Is still there— and hasn't cost ten cents for upkeep or repairs in almost a century. Still, It is an Infant among copper roofs. There are at least parts of a copper root on Hlldesheim Cathedral, Ger- maoy, that date back to 1320. St Jame's Palace, London, has a copper roof in an excellent state ot preservation although it is more than 400 years old. Other copper roots centuries old are known, - — . . When you roof wH®'"copper you get durability, plus. But you aUo get other advantages.

Narrowing th sheets ot tbe lighter roofing to brif' the ..seam- spacing into harmony with smaller roof areas prevents any sacrifice of strength, rigidity and wind resistance. The lighter sheets, being more workable, are more easily and quickly installed. Thus labor costs are reduced.

It de stroys a good many millloa dollars worth of property in this country e»fc*y. y«ar and kills some^ BOO people. It follows that the prot«e> ttnn of tbe^ome against lightning Is A sensible precaution. L,ightning strikes a building 1k>. ««U|« tbe buildlog offers it a shorter and easier path to the ground than the air otters. But ths house with out lightning protection does not offer so ea.sy a path f lat it is not likely to be set afire or badiy dam aged by the bolt. The ihing to do. then, is to equip tiie house with such an easy, comfortable path for the lightning, it it strikes the hourje, that it will travel to the ground by way ot that path and le'. the rest of the house alone. That is the* function of the light ning rod. It is not' necessary, how ever, that the ligktning rod should be. the ugly, conspicuous thing that it ased to be. It is possible now to obtain lightning protection that is concealed within the wails or franiewori^of the house and yet is rated . soi^nd and efficient by the Pire Underwriters. Even the highest parts along the ■ root and about the chimneys are concealed so that the looks of the house are in no wise marred. Certified lightning protection not only yields the house owner peace of mind but it also entitles him, in most states, to* lower Hre fiTSuf' anc9 rates. So it Is an investment that the house own^r should csrtre- fully consider. • * * Sfcuiity For Screens It won't be long now -before you must begin to undo some of the work that you did last spring.

If you have to keep them in the cellar and Jtt your cellar is not bone-dry, they rtbuld not rest on the floor.
