Nite Lifein New York

NEW YORK~(ANP)~JOHN L. LEWIS, is no Santa
Claus. Had the crushing coal strike carried on 10 days longer,
many of the nitespots operated and owned by~colored business
Sten would have closed for all time. jnvestments, representing
a lifetime of saving and slaving, would have gone up the chimney just like that, readers, and we do mean definitely.

For two hours I sat with a popular figure in the amusement
world who not only operates a nitery, but who went out and
bought the apartment building that houses his fun-centre for a
~ payment that would buy the finest commercial ain
ne manufacturers can produce today.

nights and days cafe society:
of-all races when | say that, worship bright lights. Not merely
- they fun they seem to find along life~s so-called primrose path,
but gayly lighted signs on bar-fronts, cabarets, cocktail lounges
and zestaurants. My lighting effect set me back many thousands of dollars but in less than two.nonths tna:. item was
written off tne books by funsters who flocked nitely to my
place. Many of them were ~:-nk enough to tell me that my

ALWAYS MONEY FOR THIS y

No amornt of preachmente or sermo..cing seem to halt the
endless flow uf wark-a-dzy dollars across Harlem's countless
bars and plain j.ole-in-the-wal!! nitespots. There is money for

hunggy.

Christmas, et the gay spots that make all of metropolitan New York a sort of camping ground (instead of a home

~.site) for visitors from other states, will be a ~~wet christmas ~~
let no one misguide you on this point. We can~t say that the
lights will bring those money-lined moths out on a spending
spree on Christmas and New Year's Eve, all that we feel is, they
will be there like buvers at a tobacco auction.

To College Fund

NEW YORK~The Daily and
Negro press gave an aggregate
of 13,208 inches distributed oyer
2,153 individual items to the
1946 appeal of the United Negro College Fund, W. J. Trent
Jr., executive director, announccd today in a statement of appreciation.

Close to $905,000 had been re- |

ceived as of November 15, M:.
Trent said. This money goes io
meet current overating exper-.| ses of 33 Negro private coll2<~2s

Editarials, news items, ani
feature articles appeared in 31
states and the District of Columbia. There were 74 editorials
in the daily press alone. The
total space devoted to the campaign this year represented an
increase of roughly 500 inches
over last year.

~The College Fund is grateful |

to the American press for. the
splendid manner in which, on
the whole, it supported our
nation-wide. campaign in behalf
of Negro higher education,~ Mr.
Trent said,

~This interest ir the fund and
its. purpose is even more. gratifying when we consider that the
_ Shagpeaneegse is new, newsprint

| for space by furfd-raising groups

has been greater than ever. We
therefore extend our heartiest

THE FLINT SPOKESMAN

(Chie kA
Great State

That no state in the Union
possesses better facilities for
agriculture or as many convenient -outlets to consumer markets as does Ohio is proven by

the agricultural issue of the
Ohio Development News, a
monthly publication of the

Ohio Development and Publicity Commission.

With more acres under glass
that any other state, Ohio has
a constant supply of fresh
vegetables. The State stands
second in the country in ~the
| production of honey and eggs,
| Fevarths in soybeans and dairying, fifth in corn.

Lights Buoys j
An ingenious device, developed
some years ago and now widely
used, is the sun valve that lights
gas or electric lamps in lighthouses |:
and buoys at sunset, even when
fog obscures the rays of the sun,
and extinguishes them at sunrise.
The valve or contact is worked by
a delicate mechanism extremely
sensitive to heat rays of the sun.
Monel and other nickel alloys are
used to prevent salt water corrosion of important parts which would
result in failure of operation.

Bright Kitchen:

One color scheme suggested for a
kitchen provides for a ceiling of
| ivory or pale yellow, upper walls of
pale blue, a dado of slightly darker
blue and woodwork 6éf ivory or pale
yellow. A floor covering of rose
and gray linoleum, furniture in blue
gray enamel trimmed with yellow,
and white curtains trimmed with
rose are suggested as accessories
for such a color scheme.

Monkeys Scratch for Salt
When monkeys are ~~ observed
~ searching through the coats of their, companions, they are not looking
| for fleas, as is generally supposed.
In fact, monkeys have virtually no
fleas. What they aré looking for are
small particles of salt, the result of
evaporation, which they eat.

Wedding Present
In Tripoli, wedding presents were
always covered with flowers even
during epidemics of the plague, and
the disease was often communicated
in this way. However, the flowerloving inhabitants preferred to run

~* this risk rather than deny them
selves the joy of presenting flowerdecked wedding presents.

Shipping Lobsters

Fresh foods are being flown in
increasing quantities. Live lobsters,
for instance, can be shipped by surface transport no more than a
thousand miles; even then the mortality rate often runs 50 per cent.
But ~live lobsters are being flown
coast-to-coast with negligible losses.

i Oil Equipment

Often the reason- mechanical

- household equipment runs sluggish~ly is lack of proper- oiling. Regular
oiling. of moving parts according to

the~ manufacturer~s directions will

avoid trouble and make _ house
hold equipment last much longer. -

la Dea en)

Prevent Mildew

Air, light and dryness keep
clothes fresh and prevent mustiness
and mildew. Sun and air clothes
frequently ~When you have suitable
weather conditions. Keep closets and
dresser drawers closed in wet
weather and leave them open on dry
days for ventilation. Leather gloves
and pocketbooks often mildew in
damp summer weather. To protect
them, dry in the sun and air, then
wrap them in tissue paper and then
in waxed paper. Umbrellas should
not be put away damp. Leave them
open to dry,. then put away in a
cool place.

Platinum Used for Coinage

Platinum was used for coinage by
the Russians over 125 years ago in
order to reduce the probability of
counterfeiting as the metal was difficult to melt and had a greater
weight by volume than any other
element. The coins were called in
toward the middle of the 19th century due to platinum~s rise in price
and the fact that it was too scarce
for coinage.

Steel Tonnage
Neatly 1,910,000,000 net tons of
steel ingots and steel for castings

from January, 1901, through August,
1946. Almost one-third of that large
tonnage of steel has been turned out
since January 1, 1938. Twenty-sev-~n years were required to produce

jsthe first 50 per cent of the total ton
sage, while only 18 years and 8

smonths were required to produce

the second half of the steel. The
~One-billionth ton- was made in the
latter part of 1929.

Decorating Wall4
Plain walls make a restful background; paper adds interest.: Combine them for unusual contrast. For
traditional rooms, choose grayed, Williamsburg colors. For modern,
use deep colors.

Women Workers
One worker out of four in America in 1940 was a woman compared
with one out of five in 1920 and only
one out of seven in 1870.

DEMOCRACY

WEUUGDEESSEZSGATILSSORSSSEGGOPAALSSLAG CCAR EOE!. Christmas is drawing near,
the day which has been set
apart by the world as a whole
to celebrate the birth of our
Savior. There are many peo'nle who will
10t celebrate
his eventful
~ay the way in
vhich it should
~e celebrated.
should be a
ime of thankulness to Jeovah for hav-.g food, shelsr and health.
vhich all
omes from the
nands of our
Elder Berinett Creator.
if Jesus had not been born
we would not have any hope in
the future. In John 3:16 it
reads ~God so loved the
world he gave his only son to
redeem mankind. In the near
future let us learn to love God
more and then love each other
more and more each day. Let
us also try to pattern our lives

and Savior.

What a wonderful orld ~
would-be if the Negro and de
Indian race of people would enjoy liwe as other citizens are
enjoying it. tlis very sad for
of -America_ to
preach,. teach love and democracy, and then practice the
spirit.of greed. and hate on the
Negro and Indian people. Let
us still pray to God to bless
America.

I frankly say if God would
convert America first, then]
equal rights would be dealt out
to poor people the same as the
rich. Negro people would then
be given fair opportunity -to
tive clean and decent lives the
-ame at the Caucasian race

We owe much to the Negro |

Let us put forth a greater effort this coming year of
1947 to preach and then practice true fatherhood and brotherhood to al mankind. Let
us make this season a special
prayer season.

My heart aches when I stop
and study the inhuman treatment that the poor undertrodden Negro-people of the South
have been receiving. These
people dont know what it is to
have liberty and happiness in
America. Many of those white
people who have been persecuting these Negroes are members~ of some church and call
themselves Christians, but, my
dear friends, you-are so wrong
for the word, Christian means
~Christ-like~~ and I know Jesus
Christ wouldn't persecute his
fellow man like you have been
doing. You are doing anything
kut practicing plain hypocrisy.
You are going to reap. what
you have sown, ione of you
can escape this harvest which is
of Jesus.

I see in the public press in
regards to Senator Bilbo being
investigated in Wast-ington before the Senate, concerning

-|he would do his best to uphol

Brother|

it pany has turned to aluminum as a

i *his doings. 1 frankly say he
has been a Judas Iscarot to the
Negro people of Mississippi.
He has violated his oath, that

the Constitution. He did a
he could to broadcast over the
radio to down the Negro race
of people. If ke is not prosecuted for the any crimes he
has committed I| frankly say no
person should be prosecuted
for violating any law. He
should be impeached or denied the right of being able to
possess a seat again in the senate. -
We hav hundreds of Bilbos
in various parts of the country.
Many of them: don~t possess
the nerve that the senator from
Mississippi possess. Yes, they |
smile in the Negro~s face and
are immediately ready to stab
him in his back.

Let us try to be brothers and
sisters toward each other and
then we will be serving Jesus.

Wine Treatise

The earliest known printed treatise on wine; erédited to Arnaldus de
Vallaniova in 1311, deals ~solely with
wines as medicine. It makes no
mention of wine ag a beverage.
Legend claims that the world~s first
grapevine was planted by Noah near
the:town of Erivan in in Armenia,

Potato Nutritious;
Potatoes serve ~some'vhat the
same purpose as oranges~ in supplying vitamin:C,: In fact, most people get more. from the former as
they eat more of them. The lowly
spud is also valyable for its calcium,

iron and phosphorus.

Ancient Alchemist

Studies indicate that alchemy was
indigenous to~ China, antedating
western alchemy by probably 300
or 400 years, and there. is muct.
| evidence that alchemy spread from
east to west. Ko Hung; greatést of
the Chinese alchemists, was born in

knowledge of the powers and pos

The haziness in the atmosphere

When storing vegetables, leave
