/ BY THE WAY ... By DORIS ARMFIELD Washington, Oct. 16.—Except to mention the rain we had in Washington a couple of weeks ago. I don’t believe I have com mented on the change of sea son. I am reminded of this because ysterday, someone said “in another three weeks we’ll be having snow.’’ I believei this part was just being pessi mistic: I hardly think the snow will come that soon, but we are having chilly weather these days . . . and the temperature forecast for last night in tne suburbs was 38 degrees. De spite the fact that there hasn’t been a frost in Wlashington, the leaves are beginning to change color and the atmosphere of fall is in th e air. After school one day this week, I went for a ride out to Mount Vernon. The Mount Vernon highway is beautiful any time of the year, but especially at this season, with many different colors in the scenery. Dogwood trees are as much favorite in this part of the country as they are at home, and their deep red foli age adds much to the autumn al beauty of both homes and wooded areas. I made another sightseeing trip last Sunday, to Anapolis, home of the United State Na val Academy. I don’t care for the town of Annapolis; like the Georgetown section of Washing ton. and Alexandria, Annapolis reminds me of Charleston and any place that reminds me of Charleston 1 don’t care for. (I say this at the risk of being criticised for my judgment of the seaport city, but I lived there for two years; long enough to know that I don’t like it.) The Naval Academy however, is not only beautiful to see but interesting to visit. I had been there once before, but just for a drive through the grounds. Sunday, we went through some of the buildings, and on that particular day there seemed to be an air of awe-in spiring solemnity.? What was boisterous laughter before one enters the building turned to hushed whispers; not because there were signs demanding quiet, but because the surround ings seemed to warrant it. I would suggest that anytime you are near Annapolis, you visit the Academy. I believe you will find it well worth your time. Several years ago when I was in Washington. I worked in the office of Congressman White of Idaho, who was chairman of the committee op Coinage, Weights and Measures, and whose favorite subject was the monetary system of the United States. I recall our former Congressman, Butler B. Hare, telling me once about a debate on the floor of the House, dur ing which the gentleman from Idaho and others were making an attempt to explain said monetary system. Congressman Hare, in a speech from the floor declared: “I believe it was Will Rogers who said there are two kinds of crazy people in the world: those in the asylum and those who think they know all about money. . One day this week, our teach er at school dictated a lesson which began: “Mr. Chairman, I believe it was Will Rogers who said there are two kinds of crazy people in the world: those in the asylum and those who think they know all about ‘stenotypy’.” He substituted ‘stenotypy’ ” for the word money in the speech, but otherwise it was the same. Congressman Hare may have expected his speeches to be quoted in other places, but I imagine he would be surprised to know that his words are furnishing dictation practice for stenograph stu dents. After I finished tan scribing the speech, I sent Judge Hare my notes, so he could see how his speech look ed in “stenotypy.” I’m sure he would never recognize it! Navy Day To Be Observed Wednesday C. D. Coleman, Navy Day Chairman of Newberry an nounces that Wednesday, Octo ber 27th will be observed as Navy Day in Newberry. iMr. Coleman says this year with ominous conditions abroad and numerous subversive ele ments in our midst. Navy Day is especially significant. The strength, the maintenance and the continued growth of our Navy is the concern of every patriotic citizen. He said “In showing our appreciation of our valiant Navy let us also get a clear understanding of it. It is not merely composed of sur face ships—great though they may be—‘but it is also powerful in the air with naval planes, and invincible underwater with its great fleet of submarines. “Navy Day will be as signi ficant as the American people make it.” stated Mr. Coleman. “When is the only time a woman is justified in spitting in a man’s face?” “When his moustache is on fire.” The three ages of maiv are: school tablet, aspirin tablet & stone tablet. ■joppa oidBfii ‘aaq Ptabq Xg ( A LOT OF good could be done for the world if no body cared who got credit for it.

Negroes Rob & Exploit Worse Than Whites. By David Lee, Negro Editor The majority of the Negroes of this. 'nation are victilms of poverty, poor housing, . inade quate hospitalization and recre ation because of the greed and dishonesty of the more fortu nate members of the race. No race or nationality in this nation' is actually robbed and exploited by its own members like the. Negro race. The more fortunate members of the group has turned the ignorance and poverty of the masses into a profit making racket. Can you blame these crooked exploiters for their criticism of my editorials. I have never claimed to be a leader of my people. In fact, I have no lead ership aspirations. I have mere ly exercised my Constitutional right to express my opinion" as I see it. Some of the Negroes who are advocating civil rights legisla tion to force others to accept them as an equal by law, have tried to discredit my assertions by referring to th e Telegram as a scandal sheet. Why, of course it’s a scandal sheet— it’s a mirror in which the Ne gro can see hrmself as others see him. The Telegram as opposed to filth, immorality and wrong. It seAs to raise th e moral stan dards of our people. The Tele gram seeks to build good will between the two races. Cer tainly this type of paper has as much right to exist as the Daily Worker, which is oppos ed to our way of life; as the other Negro papers that ad vocate the scrapping of al forms of race distinction and the complete amalgamation of the races. The Telegram is opposed to any kind of program of force as a solution to the American race problem. But I am not narrow enough to resort to vili fication just because th e other fellow disagrees with my views. Instead of attempting to dis credit me. which is not pos sible. the would be leaders and advocaters of civil rights legis lation should stop robbing the masses and clean up the filth, exploitation ' and immorality within the race. The housing racket stinks to high heaven. Here in Newark a Negro will rent three or four houses at $40 a month each. If the houses have 8 rooms each, he will turn all rooms into sleeping quarters, and charge hard working members of his own race $10 a week per room. Thus each house which he rents for $40 a month brings, him $320 a month. If the 8-room house has large rooms, in many instances, nartitions are built and then the 8 rooms become 16 rooms. This is not only true in New ark; this situation exists throughout the United States. These exploiters are heralded and regarded as real estate brokers by the advocates of civil rights legislation. I have investigated on° sit uation here' in New Jersev where the landlord had 14 families living in a 12 room house. I reported it to the New Jersey State Board of Health. Last winter over 200 Negro families were made homeless hv fires in our citv. and over 20 Neeroes were trapped and (Continued on back page) The following committees have been named to serve in various parts of tne city for the Commupity Chest Drive which starts on Monday, November 1 and ends on Saturday, Novem ber 6 th: Oakland: Capt..
