W« also a great aggregation of stars from Virginia Union a hand for par* formance—under pressure. From the beginning of time sports have been the medium of measuring men, of deciding the wcrth and stamina of races and breeds. £arly Greek culturista mtide a fetish—a cult of beauti ful bodies and superb healtb— L«ter dominant and banbaric Kome made the Calosseums scenes of brutality; strength tests between man and inan and beast and man. Dowifk through the ages men have made games of physical strength and games oi War, the basis of measuring the strength of men.—The Bible gi\es ujs the feats of Samson, Duvid and Goliath. The youth of today need to draw something from these feats of the past and think of preparaion fdr the fu ture—iby training for the future to take the place of our present champions.

THESE THY PEOPLE Saturday always finds the colorful characters from the rural world bursting forth upon the town site and ringing out with the slightest urge or stimu lation with songs of yore. But only aa real sons of the fathers cf Zioo can intone these tongs. We can well see the living mani festation of those things which is possible for oor group to carry on in the fact of, unseen crushing circnmstaaces. IQiiny sons of the soil, swar thy with the strength of Mother Earth, filled with vigor unheard of in the holes of stinking cities; vibrant with all of the free sim plicity which those of other clime dream oi wish for, but can never find. IN THE SANCTUM And I thought of life as we knew it free, liquid, and delici^ ous. The shadowy shadow dreams of yesteryear floated across my near stagnant eye and I yearned for re-creation of sights and sounds I once knew— Ere long the tantalizing shad es of the area of hope shall •wing down uid I fMr beingalone with dusty memories long depart ed from all bat me. As the candle drips slowly out and away so doas the dream ef ptrr new awakening drift from me as the shadow sbspe of a dream long since shattered and gone wi^ the wind.

Louis Armstrong, Maxine Sullivan, Louise Beavers, Clar ence Muse, Paul Robeson, Cab Calloway, Ink Spots, Marion Anderson, Ella Fitzerald and hundreds of others—names with which we are more familiar thi&ii we are with presidents of our largest Colleges and Universi ties. These fields of endeavor are open our youth may be en lightened to their hidden possibili ties if we recognize them in time before they are shorn of the little resti;ttn£ they might tvave. LEST WE FORGET We often hear old timers s].eak of times when they were chfldren if they did sometiiing wrong at a neighbor’s home they were chastised there and if it be came kno.win ut hdme they were chastised again. These men and women grew up with some kind of restraining forces. But our youth today arraigned before coi-rts of law for cuttings and shooting scrapes are truly pathe tic. The socalled cause of this rioting and destruction of pro perty and persons are picayune e.nd childish, but they tend to throw once more intoi bold re lief the lack of discipline, restr aint and respect for authority wlucb seems to be increasingly charsfeiterristic of the rising generation. Much of this attitude cosnes from the uncertainty of the times which has resulted in numerous maladjustments. Bat a gre^t deal of it can be traced to prolonged over iodulg- encB and wet nursing of ehildren long after they reached the age wlien they should knew how to act ashmen and women. In the cootemporarir world there is too great a readiness to turn to feree aa a solution of all the problems, so it Is not strange that youngster* should adopt some of this philosophy. If there is to. be civilization, there must be discipline. Restraint and a re- ccgnitlon of authority at home and abroad. Until we find this problem well ia hand we falter —we approach ehao*,— w, S.

Taylor, Tuesday night, when ICirby Paige, Radio Commentator, spoke to an Interracial Group upon the subject, “How to Keep America out of War.” It is the belief of the speaker chat continual wars must cease, noc through continued invasions ot one country by the other. Neither will the pushing down i our enemies help. The fortifica tion of one country in order • insurfe hon-invasion of its enemy country has proved ineffective. The better way, the speaker, said is to recognize the enemy country as bfeing comprised- of human beings, and also to re cognize them as God’s Children and to treat them merciful and Just. The creation of World Gov* ernment, in order to help solve fill problems and to aid other handicapped nations; to clean up our own houses; to transform our own policies so that our ac tions would constitutean example for the enemy country to follow, in the mind of the speaker, are the quickest and most wise plans to follow. He believes further that if something like the above precau tions had been folloiwed, immedi ately follcwing Armistic Day, that today the German Govern ment would have been a success, and that because it had been help ed by the great democracies, France, Great Britian, and the United States, that it would pattern Its government in con formity with these countries and believe in their friendship. To day, a roan named Hitler would be unheard of. In conclusion, he offers two alternatives for the world-iwide war problem of 1940. First, to stsrt war now and smash Hitler ism, which has to be smashed, or, second; to call a World Con ference, participated iii by all nations. The strong nations should confess their share of the present crisis and humbly work together with all countries in the cause of peace and good-will toward all. A significant ques tion was asked; “How could sen sible people ever delude them selves into believing that the World War was fought to end all wars for the more you fight with weapons, the more you will Rave to do the same thing."

Thousands At WSTC Building Dedication BY ERIC HERCULES WINSTON^ALEM, — One of the largest gatherings ever ai>£embled on the spacious cam pus of the Winston-Salem Teach- cr& College, witnessed the most brilliant dedication program in the history of this institution last Sunday afternoon, at which time thousands lauded the ag> gressive President Francis L. Atkins for his splendid effort in making possible the erection of two new buildings, and ground improvements including paved walks, to the extent of $22i6,100. The recently constructed Sci ence Building with its large am phitheatre and well equipped la- boiatories is unquestionably one cf the\mjpst outstanding of its kind to De found at any institu tion of higher learning. Comple- ttly modern in every detail, this splendid structure has ample space for the accomodation of numerous scientific minded stu dents. The ideally situated Ad ministration Building in which is housed the up-to-date library with its countless volumes of reading material is truly an ins piration to the ambitious youth. The latest methods in the field of library science are employed. Touching briefly on the grow th of “T. C.”, N. C. Newbold, Director of the Division of Ne- V> fero Education, State Department cf Public Instuction, paid tribute to President Atkins and all those who shared in making pos sible the si^ificant development. The dedicatory address, timely delivered by the distinguished Dr. John R. Cunningham, Pastor *f the First Presbyterian Church f Winston-Salem wai well received by an enthusastic (i/itdience. Dr. Cunningham, in discussing the work of outstanding Negro educa tors of North Carolina reminded his attentive listeners of the Picsident’s late father who found ed the institution and maintain ed that “the school is dedicated to the preparation of people for service, rather than success.” Presentation oi the Buildings and Ground Improvements were mude by John C. Whitaker, Vice Chairman of the Board of Trust ees of the College and Chairman of the College Building Com mittee to Preeident Atkins, who fittingly accepted. Music for the occasion, furnished by the A Cappella Choir under the direc tion of Prof. Neah F. Ryder in cluded classical and spiritual selections. Appeal For Aid To Negro Soldiers In France It is estimated that more than one million black French sold iers will see service in this new world war. Four of the first ten Croix de Guerre awarded this year went to colored combat ants. ~ — — These men, fighting against Hitlerism in defense of one of the most unprejudiced of all counties, are thousands of miles away from their native Senegal, Dattiomey, Madagascar, Guinea, Afartinique, and Guadeoulpe.

FIVE CEiNTfi from your pocket can make them realize that millions of their black brothers in the United States are with them. FIVE CENTS from your pocket will tell France that the Negro tour- iftts who have accepted her hos pitality and the Negro veterans of tlic World War have not for gotten the fact that they were treated -as human beings on her soil.

The diaease is compara tively rare in the United States tudsy, although it is still found in the Southern States. This condition is caused by female musquito, which carry the infect- ej germs and infects them into irdividuals when she bites. The work of the United States Army and the Public Health Service bus shown that this disease can be completely eliminated in any community by the proper mea sures. Danger of swamps or marshes, or the spreading of oil over the surface of stagnant water is usually sufficient to ez- iterminate the mosquito and therefore, it follows the disease will be terminated. It is an annoying disease since iti chronicity repeatedly lays up the individual. The chills follow ed by fever occurs mostly in the afternoon, and the individual may be so shaken by the chills, that the bad shakes.. Following which, there is profuse sweaUng and high fever. These attacks afien leave the patient quite ex* housted. 0 Q^innine is the drug of choice in the treatment and even as a private preventative of the dia ease in those who may be expos ed to misquitoes. The best mea sure of presen tion however, is the drainage of swamps, and marches, not allowing any water to collect in pools, barrels, or other recepticles, and the screening of windows and doors. M iid F«r lixpiti«ii CHICAGO, (ANP) —A bill asking congress for |76,000 to help defray the cost of the America nNegro exposition, to b* held'^ere July 4 through Sept. 2, was introduced T^rsday in th« house of representatives at Wash iiigton by Arthur W, Mitchell^ Congressman from Illinois’ first district, it wss learned here Sat- J .uUki Favorable action by both ho«sa and senate is expected, thus providing a federal grant equal ing the t7|5,(M>0 areadly appro priated by the state of Illinois H^t year for the forthconaing ex position depicting the progress f the Negro during the 76 years since emancipation.
