ATLANTA <ANP)—Frank Scott,

a belated New Tear’s resolution
to keep his big fat mouth shut.
Scott was on duty in the store
when a man came In picked up a
oarton of six cans of beer and
walked up to the checkout stand
with Cl In his hand. Boott. prompt
ly Informed the customer that
the price of the lx-pak was |I.CB.
without a word said, the man
reached into his pocket, pulled out
a gun and said "Gimme the mon
ey in the cash register.” Scott
oomplled noting mentally that If
he had kept his trap shut, he
would have been out only CSa.
As it was, he was out of 91. CC for
the beer, plus 1110 In the regis
ter—the equivalent of 17 slx-pak
cartons of beer.

within our own organization. We
have seventeen persona affiliat
ed with us on either a full-time
or part-time basis. Our payroll
is the largest of any local Negro
firm. And while we are Just
scratching die surface, we are
trying to build a business tor
our race, where wo might work
with dignity and pride, where
we might aspire to be a superin
tendent or head of a department
other than the mop and broom
brigade—in other words the Jan
itor or the maid.
There are a tew doctors of
fices, a funeral home or two.
our lawyers offices, and the
branch insurance srms where
Negro girls might do secretarial
work. There should be many
more. All of these splendid
young people who finish Willie
ton*s secretarial course should
be able to find work here, and
many should be working for Ne
gro firms. Otherwise, we lose
them to other towns and cities,
thus robbing us of our best
brains and subsequently our best
citizens. Is there any wonder
that the relief rolls grow larger
Sw tht month!
Why cent we build that fac
tory for our woraent It is a dis
grace that Negroes who can buy
big cars, build churches, end
lovely homes cannot pool their
money to give employment to
those of us who have to seek out
an existence on fifteen dollars
weekly by slaving In some white
person's kitchen.
Wilmington Negroes ere in a
sorry mean because we are full
of ignorance. We are full of dis
trust of one another. We pull
down those who try to show the
masses the way and worship
those who are steeling from us,
those who are selling us out
downtown, and those who thrive
on keeping the masses down. We
have too many here who want
to be like the white man when
it comas to big living, but we
don’t see how the white man
gets this big living: through eco
nomics!
The Negro has gone status
crazy. We worship the big car
the brick home, and our social
affiliations. We are missing the
boat in the finer things of life.
We have lost our sense of val
ues. Wc are educating our chil
dren via the bar and not the
Bible. We don't go to church,
because we wont clean up the
dirt there. Yes, Wilmington Is in
a sorry mess. There is not much
outlook for our children.
Integrate, yes; desegregate,
yes. But, let's stop being so stu
pid as to fight to give every cent
we make to our white friends
and neighbors. The white irmn
wui»itip» the dulltu. Lel'n hot
worship money, but let’s respect
what it can do for us and learn
to keep a buck or two in our
own pockets and within our ewa
race.
Let's get some things of our
own.
Some one wisely said many
centuries ago that father, broth
er, and sister may have, BUT
BLESSED IS HE THAT HAS
HIS OWNI
Let’s think on these tilings.
Let's stop so much gossip about
our neighbors. Let's stop being
barber (hop lawyers. Let's have
housewives leagues to learn
something about buying and in
vetting. Let's make s resolution
this year to always try to spend
something weekly with a Utck
man. The Business and Profes
sional Men’s Club might well
revamp their program and while
working la the realm of civio
work, let's not forget that we
are business end professional
people who should work to build
an sconomlc structure which wc
might call our own here in the
City by tb*H|ee.
Take a lesson from the Jew.
He is as hated as ths Negro, and
maybe more so, but the Jew
helps control the financial struc
ture of the world. So, he has to
be tolerated.
