COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
This season affords one an opportunity to
stop and think of the pleasures of the year.
We are sorely pressed for a moment of
self appraisal. Life has become a crowd
ed schedule from sunrise to sunset, and
our lives seem packed with problems.
Americans should count their blessings
before complaining. Our citizens were able
to enjoy hearty dinners while more than two
thirds of the world's population almost
starved. '
The cold war is menacing hot again, but
this soil has been spared the scourge of
German bombardments. Our buildings have
not been razed or destroyed by block bust
ers. No town was forced to rebuild after
months of interminable shelling.
Though many are still unemployed, the
monthly salary or wages of one individual
is higher than most of the workers in
other parts of the world could earn in a year.
Our country is not plagued by epidemics
that kill thousands. Scientists have perfec
ted vaccines, x-ray treatments and other
medicines so fast that the life span in the
United States is double that of Asia or As- .
rica.
Modern machines help construct wide
freeways and spacious homes. The people
of the city don't carry buckets of earth
from excavations to dumping areas. Huge
bulldozers move tons, but in China boys
and girls toil twelve hours moving dirt
for less than the cost of a loaf of bread.
We gloat or wail over recent election
returns, while armies of freedom-hungry
men die for a chance to' improve their
political heritage.
We can be thankful that we live in a
country where free speech, the right to
choose one's religion, freedom from dic
tators, and a full stomach are blessings
enjoyed by all.

SIGHTS AND
SOUNDS
by Eloise Banks
Savory whiffs of glazed hams,
bronzed turkeys, spicy pies, and
fluffy rolls wafted over the Val
ley Thursday. Eager diners
threw calorie charts away and
caution to the wind as they slip
ped hurriedly in their seats a
round the steaming table. Tables
creaked with the load of succu
lent puddings, salads, vegetables,
and meats.
Eaters attacked their plates
with zest and quickly the piles
of delicious foods decreased as
if by magic. Second helpings
were offered without a thought
of that all-important waistline.
Dieters gave their mistreated
stomachs a real holiday.
At this time of the year, the
makers of Unitrim, Regimen,
Wate-off, Lose-it,TafonandSlim
can begin to take inventory or go
on vacation until December 26
rolls past.
Even Jack Spratt’s wife eats
fattening goodies while Jack is
watching the scales.
I am tempted to tamper with
those bathroom scales. Watch
the scales, girl9*—figures don’t
lie. The figure in the dress may
tell you one half-truth, but the
figures on the scales tell the aw
ful truth. A few pounds a day may
be fun in the mouth, but it’s mur
der in the purse.
Reducing aids are expensive.
Trim cigarettes cost twice as
much as the regular ones. Low
calorie dishes are so costly that
the thought of the price should do
the trick. Bread for thinner
waistlines is sliced thin enough
to see through. Machines range
in price from $lO to S3OO. The
cost of a new wardrobe amazes
you, especially after saying to
yourself or spouse for weeks "I
haven’t a decent dress to wear.”
In spite of all df these argu
ments against eating and enjoy
ing the Thanksgiving meal, I
sighted turkey and sank same.
After several visits to our
friends' homes, I needed help to.

passed over and around the table.

Views,Previews & Reviews

Since its founding in 1910, the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored
People has attempted to protect the civil •] \
rights of Negroes. During the
past eleven years, it has worked
with care and zeal to influence
civil rights legislation on Feder
al and state levela. A lobby has
been maintained in Washington,
D.C., to appeal to leaders of
Senate and Congress. Its work is
not fully appreciated or known.
In 1914, Mary W, Ovington
prepared a brief history of the
organization. She stated how the
race riots in Springfield, Illinois,
shocked the nation. A newspaper
reporter, William Walling, de
scribed the atrocities and chal-
the citizens to action. He
met with Dr. Henry Moskowitz
and Mary W, Ovington in 1909
in a small room of a New York
apartment.
This was the beginning of the
NAACP. No minutes were kept
of this meeting. Mr. Walling be
lieved that the Negro was treated
in the United States with greater
inhumanity than the Jew was
treated in Russia. Other opin
ions were voiced and the plan
ners decided to issue a call for
a national conference on the cen
tennial of Abraham Lin
coln’s birthday, Feb. 12, 1909.
Mr. O. G, Villard, president
of the N. Y. Evening Post Com
pany drafted the message and
gave it wide publicity.

means tacit approval. The indif
ference of the North is already
responsible for more than one
assault upon democracy, and ev
ery such attack reacts as un
favorably upon whites a$ upon
blacks. Discrimination once per
mitted cannot be bridled; re
cent history in the South shows
that in forging chains for the
Negroes the white voters are
forging chains for themselves...
this government cannot ex
ist half-slave and half-free any
better today than it could in
1861.”
The call was signed by lead
ers white and Negro, Northern
ers and Southerners, including
Jane Adams, Chicago soqial
worker; W.E.B.Dußois, Atlan
ta educator; William Dean How
wells, New York writer; Rabbi
E.G.Hirsch; C.F.Thwing, presi
dent of Western Reserve Univer
sity and many others.
Four mass meetings were
held, thousands of pamphlets
were distributed, and member
ships were numbered in the hun
dreds. In May 1910, a second
conference was held and the per
manent body was officially or
ganized known as the National
Association For The Advance
ment of Colpred People.
