mNEWS A B HARREN ■!: Ews iiO A BAY BIG FAY (OUT* ROCKY MOUNT - In Atlantic City last week we saw more of what we complained about in this column last week This was the ‘splurging on the part of colored people who felt that they were ‘well-off or, at least, had saved (or borrowed! enough moola for a well-earned (or fancied' vacation by the sea. There were repeated reports of common folks (low incomers we mean' paying $lB per day for just a room in a Boardwalk hotel just to say that they lived for a few days’ while there We heard of o thers paying up to S3O per day for a room These were in white ho tels in case you had any doubt of locations. Many a delegate will tell you that the price for food and lodging ’were hiked on the Elks as an esti mated 10.000 spent, four days to a week there This condition is not singular to the Elks alone !t has been and will still be repeated c ver many many more times by every conceivable Negro organiza tion meeting until we learn sense enough to spend more money with cur OWN pepl.e. or with people with whom we can get. several jobs BEYOND the janitor status. We agree that our service is gen erally BELOW Par but what else can it be when the white man gives us the scraps of jobs and bu siness to exist (not live) on and the*; our people will not give us e nough patronage to enable us to put our businesses in first-class order: We are not. tolerant, nor co operative in helping to build first Compliments Os CHARLES DEPT.

This action depletes our economy and hurts the morale of Negroes trying to do business. Those who know this columnist know that he stands four-square for the NAACP and' integration We believe however, that we must do more than hand • our little mon ey to the white man just for plea sure whether it be for show's, ex oensive. clothes, big cars or white hotels We think its BETTER to pour that Extra money into the child s (or adult's) head - where ne man can take it out - and thus prepare for a BETTER economic future for oeople and the world.
