THE PRICE OF JUSTICE
Dr. Vernon Johns, in his baccalaurate sermon to the grad-
auttion cla^ of the North; Carolina College for Negroes this
year, Mid he who is not courteous cannot be just. There is so
much truth* in the statement that it deserves careful consider
ation of every person whose duty it is to administer justice. To
be courteous to our fellow men seldom if ever costs anything,
-j-ufc the administration of justice may cost social position,
. ilth and even life itsllf.
Jr."
To expect the City CouAcil to place a N^fo'j!^ the Board
Education is to expect too ;uuch justice io M.^^ministered
lay those who are seldom courteous to Negroes, even in oitJi-
nary affairs. Only those with moral coumge and a profound
righteous conviction are able to rise to ah occasion, when it
Doe«ns ch^lenging the wrongful custom of taxing Negroes
Rrithoat giving them representation in government.
Our sympathy goes not to the Negroes who requested the
i«presentation on the Board of Eklucation, but to those who
Xofu d it. The Negroes have the full satisfaction of know
ing that they have only acted as any r^l Americans would act
under similar circumstances, while the action of those on the
C;ty Council, who opposed the request, are unchristian and
lan-American. No other race could endure such without becom
ing susceptible to Communism or any other ism that offered
U participation in the affairs of government. Truly the race
fi America’s most loyal group.
We adnMmish N^roes in Durham and the rest of the South

to grow i^al'iug men and women under the circumstances which

President Booeevelt ’■ memor-
andum calling upon tht Offi«e of
Produetion MaQagement to deal
“efllBetively” with the “grave”
situatioQ presented by diherimiua
tioQ in defease industries again
st certain American citizens on
the gronodo of “r»ce, religion,
or national or^n,” is official re
cognition of a problem that has
been repeatedly called to public
attention by many uuoilicial
agencie*s Doubtless, th« 0. P. M-
may be able to render effective
service in, at the President'put
it, “refuting at home the very'
theories which we are fighting
abrtjad.’^ But the problem can
not be solved by governmental
agencieel alone.
There is food for serious
thought in the pamphlet, ‘ The
Negro and Defenee,” issued by
the Council for Democracy. Thi^i
little volume surveys briefly the
extent of discrimination againpit
Negroes in America’s defense
effort and supplies ample docu
mentation for the ehayge that
this country is not availing it^lf
to the foil of the services of a
useful body of citizens, but in
stead is hedging those citizens
about with restrictions which can
only have a prejudieial effect up
on national unity as well as upon
national productive capacity.
Ilie sitaffition is, unfortunate
ly, a familiar one. Neverthless,
it is necessary to emphasize and
re-emphasize it if the American
sy)?item is to become a living,
working, fighting force for good.
Briefly, the* council cites instan
ces of diserimlnaitioh by the gov
ernment (principally in the arm
el forces'), employers and by
labor unions, which in the ag
gregate form a telling indict
ment. As a partial remedy it
suggests administrative action by
state and Federal governments
in the fields where those govern
ments can function. The pam
phlet a3de that such action “can
be enoFmously strenghtened and
accelerated by a well infoimed
public opinion throughout, the
countr^* and .proposes certain
methods whereby local comr
mittees and existing civic groups
can as'Ssl in the work.
Thi® pr^am is eminently
practical. The problem it seeks
to attack is a real challenge to
American democracy and a chal
lenge that should be taken up by
every organization—government
al, labor, civic, business, religi
ous, social. But above all it must
be met by every individual, or all
the laws, all the regulations ai^
reeolutlons in the world will be
so mftny scraps of paper and idle
words. A stern elimination of
whatever petty prejudice he may
hold against any class of Ameri
cans is one of the greatest ser
vices that a citizen can perform
for his country today.

BJ—The first of July I am
planning to make a trip to New
Orleans to see a girl that I went
with here in college. Do you
think her people would approve
of my ecunii^f
Ans:—Naturally they wouldn’t
let yaa know if they did—make
the trip, an I feel you will be
accepted. The girl parents gave
their consent for you to be invited
down for a few days and I see no
reason why you shouldn’t take
up the off^r.
CIP—^Is my husband ashamed
of me the reason he never takes
lady’s house, toot the horn and
wait for her to come out and
climb in by herself, msy be
modem, but we still don’t think
it’s good mannersi. We have lost
something sure enough when we
no longer treat our womenfolk
with proper courtesy, and if they
only knew it, they aer the chief
losers when they let us men get
away with it.
An old proverb has it: “The
style is the man,” and “style”
is one of the definitions of
“manner!” Good manner^r are
worth a fortune, yet everybody
can have them, and what a big
difference they make!

Ana:-—He im’t ashamed of
you—in fact he is proud of you.
Tl|e reason he doesn’t want to
take you out on 8nnday after

be well for you to make Friends

Nation’s First NYA
Resident Center
Opens In Durham
Durham — The nation’s first
resident center for the rehabili
tation of rejected selectees who
ha ye .been found to be jAysically
unfit tor the military duty ae-.
eprding to standards of the
selective service system is ready
for formal opening here Wednes
day by the National Youth Ad
ministration, State Administra
tor John A. Lang announced to
day.
The first group entering the
center will be composed of 16 men
with additional contingents ar
riving daily as fast as physical
examinations can be given ap-
iplicants.
In addition to the physical
improvement of young men, the
center will stress preparation for
employment in national defense
industries. The camp will provide
opportunities for young men bet
ween the ages of 16 and 24, in-*
elusive, in work experience, jAy-:
sical improvement, supei^ised re
creation, and related training.
The center is one of two in
the United States to be devoted
to youth rehabilitation from ^ttie
physical standpoint and is the
first to be opened and placed to
opei’ation. The second camp is
scheduled to open within the
next two months at the tJniver-
^kfy of Wi»c^^. ^ . «
Hie young men to be employed
on the project will be selected
on a voluntary biusis from two
specill groups. One group will
embrace young men 21-24 years
of age who have been rejected
for military service because of
physical defects of a remedial
nature, while the second group
will consist of young men in the
16-24 year age group who are
employed by NYA and who have
been found, as a result of a
medical examination, to be be
low the standards of physical
fitness needed for military ser
vice.
Siiecial emphasis will be given
to the nutritional aspects of
physical rehabilitation. Appli
cants will be selected who show
a marked deviation from normal
weight and are underdeveloped.
Each youth will be studied in-
diividualy for proper diet. No
youth who is permanently cripp
led or who is suffering from an
incurable or contagiousi disease
will be employed at the Durham
center.
Applicants in both groups must
meet the ijhyitdcal criteria, which
has been laid down for admission
to the center. Applicants must
be underdeveloped as indicated
by height weight relation, limit
ed cheft exeeunsion, lack of vi
tality, lack of endurance, low
muscular tone, narrow chest, low
respiratory capacity, abnoral
heart beat, abornormal blood
pressure variation and other in
dividuals who exhibit interest-
in|> signs and symp^ms and
whose stay at the ressident center
would prove beneficial to the
individual and interesting from
an investigative standpoint. .
The center will furnish medi
cal and dental services, includ
ing correction of defects and
hospitalissation. Ejieh yoQth will
pay a small sum from the resid
ent center subsistence foi: medi
cal, dental, and hospitaliiiation.
aedvicesi and special attention
will be ^V3n to diets designed
to improve jAysienl fitness and
to body building exerciaes. A
dietitian, laboratory technician,
and nursesi will "^be provided for
the program. An infirmary is a
rnrt of the resident center plant.

Many times the way we do a
thing is more important, carries
greater weight, or hasi a more
prounced effect than the thing
itself. Quite often it is not what
we say but how we say it that
counts. It is possible to aay
“No!” and leave a person feel
ing good, and to say “Yes!” and
make him angry—it all depends
on how it^fcl ddoe.
‘ ‘Mannera ’/j is the name we
give to our inodes action.
There are fpw things more at
tractive than good manners, few
repulsive than bad. ^Mind your
manners’' iis sotiva advice, for
by them our way is made smooth
or rough.
Good manners are not, the ex
elusive perogative of the high
born of the highly educate;^!, we
can all have ttiem, for they flow
from within. The'man of limited
education may not know all the
details of table etiquette, or the
eorrest thing to wear at a formal
wedding, but if he ta gentle in
spirit, and has the love of God
in, his heart, his way of cooing
things and his conduct toward
his fellowmen will ilbt be dis
pleasing. In short, it is our coa-
viction that good manners are
more than knowing the rules of
etiquette.
The other day I came across
an old cliping setting forth the
evolution in manners by five
examples, over four periods.
Here they are; (Read the tne’s
all tile way down, then the IwoV
etc.)
1896
1. “Will you be minef”
2. “Pardon me!”
3. “Shall we start now!”
4. “May I pass, please f”
■ ^ “^a$ I h»ve the plfeasur!”
1. “Let’s get married.”
2. “Oh, I’m awfully sorry 1"‘
3. “Let’s get a move on.'
4. “Lemme by.”
5. “Let’s dance.”
1910
1. “Well, we might as, well get
married. ’ *
2. “Sorry.”
3. “Ready!”
4. “Gangway!”
5. .“Wanta step this?”
1^6
1. “All right! All right! I’l
marry you!”
2. “Look where you’re go
ing!”
3. “Say! We haven’t got all
night!”
4. “Get outa the way!”
5. “Hey, you C’mere!” ^
You probably got a laugh out
of the above, but there is some
thing else there which is no
laughing matter. Victorian man
ners were undoubtedly too stilt
ed, but today we have gone to the
other extreme.
We know a father who be
came very angry when a young
man who had a date with hie
daughter blew the horn on his
car for the girl too come out,
insltead of walking up on the
porch and ringing the doorbell.
We agree with the father. To
