I When twilight falls, the little tights go on all over the countryjigh above the deep caverns of the city, in homes clustered along treeshaded streets in little towns-,?in farmhouses set in quiet fields. Aong the coast lines, thqse lights ?re shaded that they may not give rid or comfort to the enemy- but *trll the lights are there. The lonely traverler on the hurt ^" ding^ -train "looks" out upon ?these lights which speak of homes where men are free to live and work and teach their children the same old wonderful truths they too were ~ taught. The lights may shine from the wooden shack by the railroad track or from the stately house set far from the road by velvet lawns. But, whether the home be rich or poor, the lights are there. . y Iffo one tells us not to turn on the light of our home. And no one tells us not to turn on the light oJ truth in our thoughts. We Americans are free to know the facts. Our thoughts are not dictated to us by a master. Turn on the light. Only the light can illuminate the dark corners Only the light can distinguish beC 'ween dirt and cleanliness. Only the light of truth can show things as they really are. When univerrfied reports jare re peated in your presence, turn on hKo lio*ht /vf trnfVi Trano tVinm down. Show them in their true colors and watch them shrivel into their native nothingness. When unfonded suspicions are voiced, turn on the light of truth. Sift the grounds rn the clear light ? fact and the suspicions that turn neighbor against neighbor will melt awhy as the shadows vansh when the sun rises. . , * When hate-b(eeding lies are spiv read forth as though they were facts, turn on the light of truth, rhese insect pests breed fast and L only the strong light krll them. Do B not let the shadows of prejudice Bfc" becloud your vision. TTern on the light and in its cold 'slmness, let us determine the L worth of things in Which 'We repr illy believe. Let us wipe out by ight the prejudice which is but Kfr n. darkness of ignorance. - ,, ?.. K; 4 on You are doing g?mpn ail o/*r Iwepe dare not Bfcgtfe? 1' "'p " .

HAN COCK THREE HUNDRED MILLION'S One of the indirect benefits of these recurring world wars i^s the revelation thut illiteracy i s still a menace to the Advancement of our nation. In spite of all our boasting about being "the greatest nation in the world," The fact remains, the ghost of illiteracy haunts us with an ominous persistence. In World War II as in World War I, thdusands and thousands of the nation's youth are illiterate and therefore unfitted for the most effective service to our Country in its crisis. This is deplorable not alone because it reduees our available man power; but because so large a part of our population is denied the advantages of literacy. While the loss to the nation is great, Jtne loss to the illiterates is greater! The greater burden of this illiteracy falls upon the south. And the greater burden of the south's Illiteracy tails upon the Negroes. When therefore we note that the nation is proposing to spend $300000,000 on education and that most of this is to be spent where the educational system. strikes its lowest levels of efficiency?which means the south, we are encouraged to hope that in the not jlistant future we are going to witness some happy developments *in" tfrd south and nation. Kduca tion is the best defense of a nation. The hopes of our nation's sur vival?ami?increase?reside?in?possibilities that only an intelligen and educated population can de velop. While literacy and intelli gence are not always correlated there is sufficient correlation t< warrant the belief that a large -measure-of education will mean i more intelligent approach to al national questions. Education i the only cure for the rabble-rous ; er-ism that is threatening denui cracy. . AND IF? The sagacity of the proposei measure can best be seen in thi way it is proposing to pi"oportioi mis stupendous amount. Thosi sections or regions that have wel ordered and efficient systems o education will share less in thi outlay, and those with backwari systems will share more. This ii easily one of the finest strokes o statesmanship of this generation Here is a measure to help t h i " have~-nota'L^--instead~ of t h" i "haves." It seeks to level up thi masses where the trouble in soci ety always lurks. It is ferventl? to be hoped that this wonderfu measdfe will pass and operate a: proposed. It will be a godsend t< the stricken south. So long as i is proposed to mete the large proportion of this vast fund t< the south because it is education ally more retarded, then the soutl - -shottM?met<j?the larger-share ti Negro education which is th most retarded. That is to say, i the south takes the same view ta ken by the proponents of t h measure, then we are' headini somewhere in particular. Now as never before the so^it needs statesmen of larger calibrt One of the most striking feature of this proposed investment i that it shall not be administere by the" United States governmen Here again we have the nature howing in deference to the sout especially. The administrate j knows full well that the south i not going to cooperate, if ther is the chance that the nationa overnment will administer thi fund. The fear would be that th Negio would advantage too great iy fiom the equitable distrihutioi >f the fund. Nothing but a jus and equitable administration o SO vast an amnnnt ??? the exigences of the sTtnation ut it is hardly probable that th< unds will be administered accor< ng to need as the spirit of th< lasuje presupposes. This is unfortunate but not fa ai. The Negroes of the soutl .ill share Far more equitably nov lan they would have shared" 21 TrarSi ago. It Is even probabh hat the .Southern Regional Coui il recently organized out of th< Durham conference with its^nov ar-famed manifesto can be o ervice in the just distribution o his fund. The south will get thi ion's share because of its nee< , und for the same reason the Ne 1 THE PALMET THE LINES $ ' grot's should get the lion's share of what the south receives. While this is the less probable course it is certainly the wisest. But irrespective of whether the major portion is spent on whites or Negroes, the Negroes are bound to profit. When we banish ignorance among whites we shall have gone a long way to clear up this whole interracial situation; The ignorj ance of the whites of the south constitutes a greater menace to the future of the Negroes than that of the Negroes. Thus direct lyami-indirectlyNtigreea-are?going to shure this proposed major national blessing! NATURE'S MOST I UNFORTUNATE By F. J. DeLaine I !
