last week by Frank Clough, So.
_Pasadenia~s City Attorney.. ~We do not have arty Negroes,~ he said, ~nor do we have
any other non-caucasian people
living in South Pasadena. To
insure. the continuance of this
policy, several years ago the
city council instructed th2 city
attorney to~ draw wp a restrictive clause and insert it into all
properties coming into the pos~session of the city.~

Cloven asmitted that the counnot passed. an ordiane?

zation called South Pasadenans.
This group, including a number
or prominent people, arranged to
have a restrictive clause ins2rt#6 irto the property deeds of
85 per cent of all the land in the
city, he said. M2mbership fees in
the organization are $5, which
is Tor the expense:of recording

covenant discloses that the only
non-caucasiars permitted to live
in South Pasadena are servants.
iegal action is provided for
those who by subterfug2 or otherwise socure, or attempt to occLpy, mvoperty or land by ~passins for white~ or similar false

UNAVA at |
Grand Ledge.BUFFAL ~ ANP ~ Before;
tringirg its 47th annual grand
lodge convention to an en@ last
week, the Elks passed: 2 resolution endorsing th2 United Negro and Allied Veterans of
America, whose national adjutant is George B. Murphy, Jr.,
former manager of the Washington Afro-American.

The Elk~s endors2ment of the
newly activated veterans~. organ~zation was ~commended by
J. Finley Wilson, tha grand exalicd ruler, who has be? work~ng with this organization since
it wes first organized in April
in Chicago. Mr. Wilson publicly
recommended al Elks becoming
a part of UNAVA in his monthly proclamation.

UNAVA has been set up- in
over 26 states and th2 District
of Columbia, and honorary commander in Joe Louis.

Another resolution passed at,
the grand lodge~s convention\
wis the endorsing of the Liberiam Centennial and Victory Exposition, which will be held at
Monrovia in July, 1947, through
1945S.

The sum of $2,000 was authorized by the group to be sent
to Republican headquarters in
New York City to be used in
tie campaign to help elect Mr.
Wilson, who is running for the
state senate, and another $1,600 was given to ~the campaign
~y the Elks Civil Liberties department, headed by Hobson
Reynolds, a magistrate of Philadelphia.

A dream of Finley Wilson~s,
an Elks~ weekly newspaper, was
realized when the body~ passed
to start one and to give more
publicity to the workimgs of the
crder, and some time in the
near future to hav? its own
radio program on a_ national
hookup. 7

The reward of $5,000, announced a few weeks ago by the
Elks through the grand exalted iuler, was again publicly an
arvest amd convictién of those
responsible for the lynching of
the four Negroes at Monroe, Ga.
Pledging the entire resources
ef the order ~to blot out lynchims and mass murder in the
south.~ the Elks also blasted
both Bilbo and Talmadge for

that native. workers must work

A recommendation ~that Liberians be employed as overseas of

ROW THE SMALL BUSINESS.
MAN. MAY USE SALES
INFORMATION

The progressive business man,
because he is progressive, will
inveriably keep a- record of his
business.

In so doing, he, like all busiress' men, finds a specific interest in keeping one factor of his
records, that being his sales reccras.

The reason for the increased
interest in such a record is.that
nerein is to be found the answer
to that all important question
that all mem engaged in business like to know: How much
business am I doing?

Now the question is, when
they have this record, how do
they use the information?

The benefits from sales figures
are obtained through makirig
comparisons. For example, if for
August, 1945, (assuming that you
kept records last year) you find
that you made a net profit of
$500 while for the same month
in 1946 you find that your net
profit is $400, you immediately
knovy that your business~ is going dcwnward. either ~by reason
of a drop in sales, unobserved
leakege or an error ir your reeord keeping. Having this knowledg> you can then find out what
caused the decline ard can do
sométhing to correct the situation. before it gets out of hand.
If pe~chantce you find an increase
in your sales, it is as important
for you to find out WHY sales
nave increased as to know why
thyy decreased, for with such
acts you are able to determine
hat procedure is profitable.

Sales records are valuable to
you in keeping a check upon
rdvertising results. The cost of
the advertising or of any other
type of promotion car be compared: with the -extra business
produced.

ed that proper advertising -will
increase sales, many business
men are satisfied to guess as to
how much his business has increased. Such a procedure is not
advised. To the contrary, we
advise an accurate sales record
and not guess work by so doing
you shall be able to know defi
your money~s worth from advertising expenditures.

Accurate sales records give

Since it is universally accept
nitely whether you are getting

you a check on clerk performance. For example: yoh have at
your finger tip the total amount
of business done by each clerk
~the number of customérs
handled, the average sale all of
wnich should be valuable to you
in determining the clerk~s weekly wage.

Aside from the aboVe mentioned information that can be
gained from-accurate sales records the questior of ~which

can be answered.

For example you will know
(1) the amount. of total or departmental sales last August

ATLANTA ~ ANP ~ ~One
of the best. conventions, if not
the best convention, ofthe Nationai. Baptists, Inc.. was held in
Atlartta, Sept. 4-8, 1946,~ said
Dr. D. V. Jemison,- president,, as
he sat in his office at Municipal
auditorium, shortly after the
convention closed sessions.
Looking a bit worn, he was jubilant, however, b28cause_ this
year~s meeting was a great success, overshadowing all expectations.

Knowing that some Baptists
and others had suggested that
the convention not be. held in
Atlanta, the press asked, the
president to give his reaction to

~I received many letters, special delivery letters... telegrams
ard telephone calls asking me
to change the site of the convention. One message from the
mayor of Philadelphia, offered
the use of the Municipal audi- |
torium of that city free of
charge to the convention. This
was cone in protest to the July
lynthings of: four, mem ye TS ~of

~T answered these messages
by saying that we would not
change the site of the meeting

as the people in Atlanta were
not responsible for the atrocity
and: therefore they should: not
ibe ~mistreated by ' the nation~s
Baptists.~

Dr. Jemisor~ said: that he ap--
preciated the interest of so
many people in the convention
and that he answered~ all messages courteously, but he - was.
determined to come to Atlanta~
as planned. Among the promirent organizations asking that
Baptists not come to: Atlanta.
were the Philadelphia Minister-'

The Baptist president further
said that he was ~pleased to,say
we have never received more
gracious and courteous entertainment than we have had
here in this beautiful city. Our |
being here has shown the nation that our derision to~ some
was a Wise one,~

In conclusion, President Jimicon said: ~Baptists came to Atlanta, some were apprehensive,
