Break-Through Made on Employmreit Front
THE Associated Negro Press has reported "some-
what significant gains in job integration ... in
two southern cities," and that there is a shift in in-
terest from sit-ins against degrading and humiliating
segregation, to equal job opportunities.
There has been some thinking that the fight for
economic equality should have taken precedence over
that for equality in civil rights. It is the old question
of which came first, the chicken or the egg.
Be that as it may, the sit-ins have broken
through the once inpenetrable wall of Deep South
segregation, and the break is widening in the fight
for civil rights.
When cities in Deep South states like North
Carolina and Tennessee see the wisdom of hiring Ne-
gro clerks and office workers—as minor as these
particular jobs are in the general picture—a clean
break-through has certainly been made in the area
of employment.
The "selective buying" technique has been very
effective in making inroads in the field of employ-)
ment hitherto barred to Negroes. It, as well as the i
eit-ins, has played an important role in lowering the
dining facilities barrier.
Consistent, if slow, gains have been, and are be-
ing. made on the civil rights front. The first impor-
tant break-throughs have been made, in the Deep
South, on the employment front. A second front has
been opened in the battle for democracy.
BOTH are important.
There should be no lessening of the attack on
tiiher one.

(—Functions of Life Insurance—|
By LLOYD L. MILLER
District Manager, I'niversal life Insurance Company
ABB YOU nr THE BIOHT BUSINESS?
MANY of you might be just a little concerned about the title
of thu article, so, befoh> I go any further, I want to make
it clear that I hope what I have to say will help many men to
stay in their retpective Iratin«ue8.
Lifrilnturuice Potential
before inverting la other forma of
■living. Men who purchase term In-
surance with the thought thai they
can latest the difference (ia pre-
miums between term and ordinary
life) are very, very sadly mistaken.
ARITHMETIC EXAMPLE
Let'* take a man aged 35, paying
an annual premium of about flM.10
per year; average 30-year coat of
fire-year renewable term ia (103.08
per year. The difference ia fttOML "
Let'a assume that he iaveat* tbia
IBO.IKS every year at fir* per cent
compound Interest for 30 years. At
the end of the 20-ye*r period the or-
dinary cash value ia (.'1,450; invest-
ment yield, (3.436; profit on ordi-
nary, (15, plua th* guaranteed
protection. If you hav* been coa-
cerned about buying term. aad ia-
ve*ting th* differ****, consider th*
facta above.
Another thing, let'a atop thinking
about life Insurance as an intangible.
Such thinking results in our failure
to see onrselvea at retirement, at
disability, and at death. Is a guaran-
teed college education or a mortgage-
fre« bom* Intangible? Ia there any-
thing intangible about being able to
pay the landlord, gr*e*r, butcher, et
cetera?
The reason that soine men are lur-
ing a dlfficnlt time In onr business
is that they do not believe life insur-
ance la the answer.
Three men were crossing a desert
when a voice spoke, saying, "Fill your
pockets with sand, and tomorrow you
will be both glad and sorry." TV
next morning they found that the
aand had turned to gold. They were
both glad and sorry—glad that they
had taken some, sorry that they had
not taken any more.
I hope that you. Vr. Salesman,
hare received enough "sand" in ideas
and thoughts, that will turn to gold
on your crlls today, and I hope that
you, Mr. Prospect, when your life
insurance turn* to gold, tomorrow,
that you and your family will b* glad
yon bad th* foresight to acquire
enongh.
Let'a ta, about the tt*Brndou
possibilities in onr buainaahllVe Were

JOHN McFERR.BO. SBAD
A few days ago the writer
talked with a noted Baptist
milliliter who had recently re-
turned from Tennessee. He said
that while there he saw in the
Chattanooga an adv<>rtiiteuent
reading this: *1*2,000 reward for the
head of Joha McFerren delivered to
the white citixena council."
Jobu McFerren, aa we remember,
i* property owner and merchant and
leader in the movement of Negroes in
Fu)ttU county to exercise their right
of suffrage. It whs in the exercise
of this right that hundreds of Negroes
got into trouble that haa shocked
the nation and world.
When many Negrset attempted
to register and voU, the whilea
of Fayetts county put on an
acaaonMc squeeze on the would*

Is evea more distresaing Mart a
prominent newspaper will carry
such advertisement.
It shows that the wrath—of the
Negropbobe knows no bounds. And
when we think that thesagni'irliid
maniJoststkafi' tfujlj''--are
resulting from the mere atflmi>t of
Negroes to be citisena of th* nation
that thonsnnds of Negroea hare died
to save, we get aome idea of how thin
was the veneer of what waa called
"good race relations."
It showa that what the Old
Smith railed good raw relations
was merely th*
mis-ion to the
and segregations of
citizenship. Th*
Negroes to Fay*tt*
nessee. Is th* Oil S*«th
Number On*.
What about the Negroea fa the
South and about the nation who ure
daily spurning the privilrg* tot which
tbe Fayette county Negroe* art gtarv-
ing? The time is at hand^wbea Negro
leadership must driv* bom* to the
Negroes who ar* indifferent on tiie
matter of suffrage, th* ugly fact that
they are to bs blamed for their in-

will not have been in rain. When Ne-
gro leadership hat set before the na-
tion the injustice* and humiliations
the race is suffering and the race's
resentment thereof, its job i* but part-
ly done.
But Negro leadership with all Us
advantages and learning must devise
ways and means of waking up th*
Indifferent Negroes throughout the
nihtlnu. The burden of this awaken-
ing is on Negro leadership and not
on tbe indifferent Negroes.
Tbe crnaade for Negro voters here
and there nbout the country must be
intensified even though it means ad-
vertisements for other beads tbsn
John McFerren. There are signs
that tbe slruggi* of Negroc* to attain
unto full citizenship is entering the
suffering St rise—and there is such a
stage In the fight for full citizenship.
All great peoples have had t*

their Promised land. It Is not

Negroe* of tht* aad other laads.
They who reign must first suffer.
