You could co to any city In this
nation and not find another city that
la no favored as Oree?mbnr?v People,
we so often are; like the little pig we
harbeque. you know the pic will eat
acoma from the tree and until he la
fllle dto overflowing and then he will
gp qn hla way without no much as
turning a pig's eye to the tree and
give thanks for hla dally food. Look
fiere, let "us'be men. Let'us turn
some thanks to our benefactor.
Take Bennett college, for an example.
Here Dr. JoDes haa labored
to build. a school second to ppne In
the nation for Negro yeomen and fhen
\ brought <? "J j rhpffn
and wejj grained to teach our daughters.
More than this. Dr. Jones tries
In every way to make Bennett college
serve the immunity', ^ils students
are often Inconvenienced to do
tasks for us. He Bets up Institutes
' and training courage} for niof only^the
local teachers but the housewife, the
' parents,* the man In the street. He
hins activities for unfortunate chll[
dren. And his teachers are asked to
( give their attention to community af,
fairs. What would our C^Mstmas
have been without Dr. Dett and hla
' choir who not only'sin gbeautlfully

Turner and his fight for housing with

with dead and wounded sailors who
had been specially trained to engage
the enemy- Cjiaos enveloped the ship
and the struggle was life and death
without regard for color or offlceAnd
so came the opportunity for a
black American whose only station on
ship was to cook and sepe the gallant
men of Uncle Sam's navy. This
black roan, this mere cook, this
ship's funkey proved the power,
courage, skill and loyalty Inherent In
black America. For In the inldst of
awful danger when all seemed lost,
this man of pots and pans grasped
the one chance to be a fppl sailor,
pod, as tpft witness tells tjie story,
-jhtf kitchen bpj grasped an anti-aircraft
gun with' which hp was totally
unfamiliar, not having hud training
for this post, and with genius of a
natural born gunjnan. blasted away
at the eoetpy. bringing 'down their
planes.
Young men. dqq't fiver be saUsfied
with a job that Is beiow your skill
gnd dignity. Always seek to use your
best talent In the highest and largest
service. Anybody can be a potato
peeler, a scrub man, a polisher of
brass, a per vice tray, a dish washer.
For thees tasks are ordinary and
simple. But to be a sailor?now you
have spmethUig there, la the zpan
who la distinguished for his bravery,
