WHAT'S THE DIFFEKENCE?
THK otlier day I heard a friend whose judgment I value, say
"Most of our troubles, at home as well as abroad, stem
fro* the fact that we don't like anything that is different."
Take the prosaic question of food—though as one who prides
htr elf on cooking, I resent the imputation that food is prosaic.
.Wo art set in onr tastes bjr what
b familiar. My little assistant can't

fi- nmt'C the complaint of the
Bixuk Tommy about caviar—"The
fcl'Orfy jam tastes of fish!"
So it with people. For eiample,
tlirre in the famous story of the
Suxli^kman who lived in Paris for
years withont learning a w«Td
pt **e ck—he "wasn't going to eu-
Jponraj;!! them in speaking ' eii
)tlly language."
The poor cun rails at t!

iks .it the roor as a weakling.

llol fears the strength of labor.

Jl: « «fOer people might know, and
suine things that It would do them
good to learn, we shut onrselves np
in a mirror lined room. Wa need
to discard the mirrors, open the
window* and see what la outside.
No group is perfect. No group
has all the knowledge. This resent-
ment of difference Is not Just a
resentment by the majority. The
minorities are Just ai quick to con-

the part of the majority.

maybe you'll teach him as much
as he will teach you.
If you analyze the stMuaient
with which I started, you find it
boils down to "We don't like what
we don't know." In that Ilea the
solution. Knowledge is the key to
understanding. It's hanl to dislike

This committee Is proud to state
to many interested prospective em-
ployees that they have n chance
for employment at this Installation.
Employment Las been resumed.
There Is a need for mechanic help-
era, Junior mechanics, and clerical
workers.
A special effort Is being put
forth to get clerical help in Wash-
ington, D. C. This offer is especial-
ly interesting. Tou are advised to
consult the nearest civil service
board.
The last weekly meeting was sur-
prised with a 15-mlnute vUlt by
Major Alec Chesser, chief, civilian
personnel section, at which time he
addressed the group, especially re-
ferring to the work of the commu-
te® for the year 1044. This com-
mittee was lauded for its effective-
ness In the handling of problems
before they became drastic.
A highlight of his talk, however,
was bis appeal for the colored peo-
ple to strive to hold their Jobs at'
this Installation after the war, be-
cause of the many unfavorable con-
ditions known to erist in private
industry, especially relative to
salary, drudgery, and instability
which has caused this minority
group many economic ills.
He stated further that It Is be-
lieved the governmental agencies
would be the foremost In the post-
war period in maiutainiug employ-
u«.-ii*#a«srao" that their present
Jobs will be career-employment.
As representative of Negro per-
sonnel, this committee expresses
sympathy to the bereaved family
of Dewey D. McVea, en employee
In the engine branch. Military rites
will be Wednesday, Jan. 31, at 2:15
p. m.

fered by the club. Remember, you
