Bft year-old-daughter of attorney Jonas Schwarts, Is a young lady with a mind of her own when it comes to figuring out this complicated business of human relations. Miriam shows she is being brought up in a home where ■ race and color distinctions are not considered as of the slightest importance. One evening after a Town Hall broadcast on which race segregation had been the topic, a frieno of the Schwarts' wondered whether or not Miriam understood the forum discussion that had taken place on the air. "What does segregation mean?" he asked the eight-year-old. “It means separation," Miriam answered. “And It Isn't nice either." NELL RUSSELL The frlcnd w “ * b ™ v * feller so he pushed the cross-examination. "What would you say if a Negro bought a house next door 7” The Schwartz' neighbors are Scandinavian on one side and Jewish one the other. Miriam didn't hesitate a minute. -U he's got enough money to pay for what hr wants. It’s all right with me," she said. "Why should a Negro live there?" the friend of the family asked, wondering if he shouldn't let the whole thing drop before he got in too deep. “Why SHOULDN'T he live there 7“ Miriam Inquired, looking him straight la the eye, "What is FEPC?" the adult queried, trying to get out of the corner the young un was pushing him into. “FEPC means everybody should get a Job, white or black or Japanese—or anybody 1“ Miriam came back like that. The friend began to feel weakiah in the knees. “What if they can't get a job," he persisted. "What if two people came for a Job, one white, one black. Who should get the Job?" "Well," Miriam said, “then they should be given a test. Who ever does It best, should get the Job. Then the other one should be sent to school so he can learn to do It!” The friend wiped his perspiring brow and decided to shaddup be fore he made a complete dope of himself. Another close friend of the family went doom for the count recently when he called to find out why Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz hadn't attended the Mallard meeting at Phyllis Wheatley. He didn't know that Jonas was in Asbury hospital. Miriam answered the tele phone. "I missed you mother and father at the meeting," the friend said. “My father has gone to 50 meetings in 50 nights," Miriam re plied. "That's why he's In the hospital." The caller said it was too bad because they missed a good meet ing. "Mother couldn’t come because she couldn’t get a sitter, but I know all about the meeting,” young Miss Schwartz hastened to assure the gentleman. “I think Mrs. Mallard is a pretty brave woman, coming up here and telling us what Is happening down south!” "What is happening down South?" came the stunned voice over the phone. “Don't you know?" Miriam Inquired In the tone she would use to a dim-wit. ''My father says they don’t act like human beings down there." "What do they do?" “They don’t do anything fair and they don't give people a chance, it doesn't make any difference whether you're black of white, if they don’t want to give you a chance, they Just don’t, that's all!” Out of the mouths of babes! If more parents saw to it that their children grew up with an unbiased and informed outlook about their fellow humans, the pro gress of race relations would be advanced twice as rapidly In the coming decade. Unfortunately, both Jewish and Negro parents, in too many instances, instill prejudices in their offspring, or do nothing to offset such prejudices when they put in an appearance. Yet these same parents bitterly decry discrimination and bigotry when it is directed at them by Gentiles or whites. l nlll inrnibrni of minority (roup, themselves .tart laying thr framework for healthy n-lntlon. in their associations with rack other, they won't have a fool-proof caae against the so-called "majority." Anti Negro Jews and Anti-semltlc Negroes are just as big .tumt>lin( tiloeks to true democracy as white (.entile* of the same tlk. MOVIE REVUES: "My Dream Is Yours," starring Doris Day, Jack Carson, Eve Arden, Adolph Menjou. This is one of those Hollywood rarities, a film musical that offers topnotch entertainment. One of the big reasons is singer Doris Day. She's the most refreshing, completely captivating little minx you've ever seen in a long while. The story is the old one about the struggling unknown who steps in at the last minute and saves the show when the big star gets too potted to go on, but as portrayed by Day, Carson and company, its completely believable. Eve Arden turns in her usual hilarious performance in her usual array of smart gowns. Incidentally, the ladies will love the gowns In the picture. They're simply dee-vine! I don’t know who does the singing for Lee Bowman, but he lip sings so convincingly, you probably won't know the difference. For an evening or real enjoyment, don't miss My Dream is Yours." The May 27 edition of this newspaper will be the Centennial Negro Progress edition. A lot of work will be put Into It, so don’t miss it. Just a hint, eh 7 If you have a family pet who should stray away from home, by ail means try putting an ad in the Lost and Found section of your daily newspaper. Our little black spaniel wandered off last Wednesday, gallavanting after a larger doy. We put an ad in Thursday s Min neapolis Star. Friday morning, a Mrs. Anderson at 3928 31st Avenue So., called to say she had "Lady Lou" at her house. We had a half dozen other calls from people who had seen another dog answering the description in the ad. 1 chased down the first call because the lady insisted it was our pooch. It was a beautiful cocker, very much lost and very unhappy. I hope his owners traced him. The topper was, though, when some drunk called and wouldn't be lieve we had found our dog. "This dawg over at m'house iah your dawg, lady!" the inebriate whooshed. 'But my dog is right here in the house! I picked him up myself!" I tellya' thish lsh your dawg. lady!" the pest insisted It took me five minutes to get rid of him and he still wasn't convinced. He was so Insistent about it, I began to wonder If I was seeing things and Lady Lou sitting there watching the conversation on the telephone was just a mirage. Don't tell me want ads don't get results! • e • A hearty welcome to the delegates to the Alpha Phi Alpha mid west regional convention! There was a time during my college days when the prospect of a contingent of new faces (male) would have been the signal for some kind of celebration. Now about all that I can say is: Hello, fellas, and hope you like our towns. It used to be that the Alphas were the intellectuals (?) of the campus crew, the Kappas would raise all the h—. and the Omegas tried to straddle both sides of the fence intellectually and fun-wise.
