'Acta Non Verba" (actions not words)? was beautifully demonstrated by fourteen members of the class of 1921 of Meharry Medical school last week when these men laid on the table $800 in an alumni reunion. Actions count in hnildimy inati- . tutions. The Nashville Defender pnbli^he4r fc|>e story of^ the meeting from which we clipped the following paragraph: "Fourteen physicians, members of the Meharry Medical College class of 1921, met in reunion during the recent commencement * week at Meharry paid pledges made to the alumni association of more than $800 and enjoyed inspirational luncheons and talks during their two-day meet. -y , FALACIOUS NOTORITY Apparently there?is_4i.?falacy l unaiing through the bloodstream of the so-called big business among Negro people in this country that is astonishinc to student* of plain, everyday Economics. The thought comes from an editorial in The Afro-American inMtS comment on "passing the hat" to save Poro College. A concern rated as being worth a million dollars: "A Chicago citizens' committee to save Pora college, represent ing 750 organizations, is conducting a campaign to raise $5,000 by June 9, ~~ "tetters sent out state that the cosmetic concern, now forty-one years old, is valued at a million dollars. It o 1? -- c* wiioia ucttt use of an unpaid $41,000 in internal ; revenue taxes, the statement adds and the public is asked to give 01 lt-nd any amount from $5 to $1000 in order to secure the $5,000 need , ed immediately. "With this sum in hand, the government, it is said, will give the concern time and terms to meet its balance. j "Under ordinary conditions, a business worth a million dollars , * rhould have no difficulty in bor- , rowing $5,000 or $40,000. ; "Its inability to float a lean upon negotiable security indicates that it hasn'^that security." . ????? 11 ' ~ Ti STEADY THERE ; _ ? ?Hfcy 'Tiuth - Jtay lor " Have you ever been caught in a panic stricken crowd? If you j have, you will never forget the experience. I was on "an over- ' crowded, overbalanced, boat one ' time when I was a child and I ' remember che blind painc of the crpwd as the ship listed* heavily. ] They rushdd from one side to ' another?pushing and crowding. 1 hysteria rising lapidlv a? the pan- . U> spread and TFTe vessel listed 1 more heavily with each surpre of 1 the mob. Then, just when it seemed the 1 ship would overturn with the next rush?a man jumped up on the ?rail and" cried out in a caTm-determined voice "Steady, there!" MAYBE SO ANI (By W. H. S OUTDOINjG Till It's u fine thing to be able to mproVe upon what somebody else ias done, and do it. A man should self. The other fellow in him | should be undergoing u worth while change all of the time. What uu-M?ONCE wus is not?as?inipui'Lant as what he NOW is. Improving upon thing* is the darning sign of progress. However, I've seen one or two examples of this oiutdoing-th/j .other, fellow business. I'm wondering it lhat very thing is not often- overdone. - A man succeed* . another i;i a position. Immediately he proceeds to figure how he will mak< the work so different?so ver> much better than the other fel low made it. He changes .things that need no changing he cuts out too much of thig and adds too The surging crowd stood still for a moment. And in that pause he told them that if they kept their heads, they would be safe. They must stand' quietly where they were and then cooperate in order to keep the balance of the boat until the captaTn eould bring it to shore again. The crowd steadied to his calm counsel and the vessel came safely to its dock. In this hoiir of international strife and national turmoil, \\V need men who can cry "Steady, there I1", ^vhjb can recognize th e danger,^nd plan the way tu tace it. but even more than this we need people everywhere who can stand steady in the face Of init pending disaster, and avert it because they know the value of cooperation and will not be led into blind panic; who can wait until they know the facts; and who then can take their proper places iii the fight so as to assist the Ieader?~ at the helm to bring the ship_oi state to shore. Even though dangci threatens, even though the clouds grow darker, and the storm draw,, closer, it has not broken. There is no need for painc in this country?now? or later. We must hold steady. Resoh Hum is needed and also work and sacrifice for ail out task of defense. A false sense of security or undue optimism is dangerous?but we muot not jlip into the l'tHTl'S[)<>lld ing fault of the pessimism that accepts the worst, as .an establish ed fact?the pessimism that ends in disruptive panic. We must hold steady against those subversive forces who try to arouse suspicion and fear and whip them into the unthinking, unreasoning terror that sends tin crowd into wild rout. Over three hundred years ago - j jonn nunyan wrote in nis noiv War," "For ^ere lay the excellent wisdom of him that built Mansoul. that"the?walls~could never lx- broken <lo\vn nor hurt by the ' most mig-htv adverse potentate UNLESS* THE TOWNSMEN GAVE CONSENT THERE TO." Steady there! ThaC'js the immediate task for all of us. REVEALING SHADOWS By W.
