Project Families Unite In Common
Cause To Guard Homes If Bombs Fall
By ISAAC JONIB
With the Sojourner Truth Fed
eral home about filled with colored
defense workers and their families,
and memories of the Feb. 2S riot
between colored and white foes put
away in the pages of yesterday, the
people of thia community of both
races held a Joint meeting Wednes
day night at the Pershing High
■chool to work out cooperative
plans that would be effective in pro- 1
tecting their honles should enemy
bombs *ver rain on this city.
Some of the same whites who
fought so bitterly to keep colored
families from occupying the So
journer Truth project accepted their
colored neighbors with open arms
and welcome hearts at this get-to
gether with a statement “now we
understand these people.”
To date, none of the colored mem-1
bers attending the meeting held at
Pershing High had qualified as air
raid wardens, but a number of them
are preparing and will complete the
necessary training within the next
few weeks. In the meantime Ber
nard L. Augustyian. one of the two
whre men arrested during the riot
was found guilty 0 f felonious as
sault Tuesday by Recorder s Judge
Arthur E. Gordon.

LAST DITCH
APPEAL
Ry FREI) HART WILLIAMS
A last ditch appeal to Negroes
of Detroit to com» to the reacue of
interest* advocating Home Rule
for Wayne County, is now being
made. This ie characteristic of a
certain group on the other side of
the racial fence to wait until the
last moment to appeal to the color
ed brother to pull their ehesnuts
out of the fire.
Almost all citizens, black or
white are interested in good gov
ernment. but whether these citizens
will accept the City Government!
standard as a criterion to pattern
after is something else.
Black marks were placed against
a supposedly invlunerable nine-man
council, but three out of this num
ber drew attention to the fact that
given the wrong sort of officials in
J any branch of government, wheth
i er city, county or state, results in
I corruption. Three former eoun
ciln.en have been indicted, two of
! them now serving out their sen
i tences at Jackson prison.
True, certain county officials,
! afraid to speak out their inner
| t'.ioushts about Home Rule for
Wayne County (Save the People's
' Money), will mayhap lose their
jobs. But we must realize that In
losinc their jobs. If and when Hnm e
Rule is made a law, there will be
other jobs created not for them hu*
for those to be selected later by
• the powers that be.

“The Negroes fed that this is

“For this Is a war in which Ideas

fate in the f. 8. affects the fate of
