Gets 30 Days
Or $25 Fine
Thirty - three - year - old Benny
Selton of 1312 East Vernor High
way was given a fine of $25 or 30
days in jail after being convicted
of throwing rocks through another
man's window by Recorder's Judge
Arthur E. Gordon. Monday morn
ing.
Rufus Murphy. 40. of 1313 Mont
calm street accused Selton of hurl
ing rocks through his window and
breaking his kerosene lamp. Several
men came to his house late on the
evening in question and refused to
| either come inside or leave the
! premises. Murphy told the court.
“I got a knife and chased them,"
: the complainant stated. He became
suspicious when the men kept loit-
I ering on the porch and about the
| place. Murphy stated. Sometime
I later someone hurled several rocks
j through his window. "They're lay
ling up in the house now," Murphy
stated and looked at the man he
accused of throwing or knowing
who threw them.
Asked by the judge if he was
certain Selton was one of the men
j on the porch that night, Murphy
j stated that he was positive of the
I identification. Meanwhile Selton
I denied being at Murphy’s home at
the time mentioned. However, Judge
| Gordon ruled Selton was guilty as
( charged and gave him the altern-
I ative of paying a $25 fine or spend
ing 30 days in jail.

Religious
‘Labor Day’
The Most Reverend Edward A
Mooney azrhbistiop of the Roman
Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit, has
sent a letter to all the pastor* un
der his jurisdiction suggesting that
Labor day be observed not only as 1
a holiday "but as a day of prayer
ful dedication to the cause of jus
tice and charity in industrial re
lations."
He states that "Labor day offers
an appropriate occasion to set forth
with special emphasis the basic
principles of social Justice and
charity which hold the sole and
sure cure for industrial strife so
prevalent in our country today. If
our people understand and assert
these principles they Can. perhaps,
exercise a decisife influence not
only in repulsing the assaults of
subversive forces but also in bring
ing about peace with justice be
tween management and labor as
well as between the contending fac
tions which unhappily divide and
weaken the labor movement today."
Therefore in keeping with the
archbishop’s instructions appropri
ate sermons will be given at all
the Masses on next Sunday: and on
Labor day; the faithful will assist
at Holy Mass in their respective
churches receiving Holy Commun
ion and dedicating themselves to
the cause of upholding the Catholic
principles in the labor movement.
At the Church of the Sacred Heart,
Rivard and Elliott streets, and at
the Church of St. Benedics, the
Moor, announcement of the Labor
day services will be made at the
Masses next Sunday. A cordial in
vitation is extended by the pastors
of these churches to all-members
of the colored group to assist at
these services and to unite in prayer
for the welfare of laborers of the
nation, regardless of race, creed or
Work OfDet.
Poet To Be

"These Are My People," a mass
chant by Robert E. Hayden, local

ballroom by the New Group theatre
Saturday, Sept. 2. according to re
ports from the group.
Plans are also being made for

university.
These Are My People" was writ
ten originally for presentation on
the recent Negro History and Art
program sponsored by the National
Negro Congress. Mr. Hayden also
states that the poem expresses what
he thinks about the condition of
the Negro in America today.

Mr. Downing was interested in
the scope of the program and what
part the technicians would take in
the mammoth undertaking. He was
very enthused when told that the
exposition committee hoped the
contributions technicians had made
in the last three-quarters of a cen

hibit at the exposition. Mr. Down
ing. for the past 10 years, has been
making a study of the contributions
Negroes have made in the scientific
field and was delighted to know
that in the year 1940 the startling
discoveries he had found in his
studies and what had been achieved
by the technicians, could be dis
played at this exposition.
