Clarence Gain Writes

Last Sunday evening a week ago I chanced upon a gathering in front of one of the avenue drug stores listening to the extemporaneous remarks of a loquacious (talkative) friend of mine who was in the midst of venting his wrath upon any and all that did not think as he in regards to the picketing of Richards Market, which incidentally was the topic for discussion. Well, truthfully to my knowledge there are but three race people who think as he does and for some reason he does not seek even to agglutinate the^e few. Seemingly, he does not want the

aid of the other two. Alone, he will crucify and cast into the abysmal depths of hell all those who think for themselves. I am in this group, so he told me and that isn’t all. He said that I’m pusillanimous, by birth an accident and precarious. My friend being very pneumodynamic, raved on- and on to an audience that was rather prococurante other than a few that wished, for a pogamoggan. That first something (pusillanimous) had me, but after looking up its definition I find that, according to his statement, I’m very small, petty, cowardly, evil, faint hearted and weak minded. A As for my being an accident I’ve been unable to figure just how he meant that one. But in the sense of the word (an undesigned occurrence), then I feel justified in saying, “then aren’t we all.” As for being precarious, he is bon vevant ( a good liver) but it all depends on unforseen event of the future as to just how much he will have and how long he will have it. Personally, as : things stand, I can’t see what I possessions he has that would i make him feej so proud. I take ! into account his overly educated lame brain. “Fine clothes may disguise, but silly words will disclose a j fool.” This man, it so happens, carries the mail. He was born in Oakdale and now live s on Lincoln avenue in a home furnished in periods of early American suites; Governor Winthrop secretariets, Oriental Rugs, Chinese carved bric-a-bacs and other luxuries that the average indi- | vidual has never dreamed of. : But why he thinks that justifies his ranting against any movement by any group seeking to raise the standards of the whole, puz- , zles me. His harangues help no 'one, not even himself. He, as

the other two individuals who are against the picketing, want to know who the committee is that went to see Clarence Richards in regards to hiring a competent clerk. Just who is who? if so, why? And what difference does it make. The people need me work tnat they might live and tney earnestly pray for it. Now he’s got me talking like that. SEE YOU LATER,

THE VIEWS OF CLARENCE GOIN ARE HIS OWN AND DO NOT NECESSARILY COINCIDE WITH THE VIEWS OF THE EDITOR OF THE ARGUS. * * * THE PAST By Clarence Goin “Tell me not in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream! For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem.” i “Trust no future, howe’er pleasant! Let the dead past bury its dead! Act—act in the living present! Heart within, and God o’erhead.” —(Longfellow). As for myself, this country I’ve traveled over, this continent to be exact and as (Kiplin) said, “I’ve taken my fun where I’ve found it, I’ve rogued and I’ve ranged in my time.” Hence there have been many experiences that if related to you, would seem for fetched. “Experience is certainly the mother of wisdom” (Sidney Smith). “That which is past is gone, and irrevocable; and wise men have enough to do with things present to come; therefore they do but trifle with themselves, that labor in past matters!” (Francis Bacon). “I do not speak of what is ended, chide what is settled, or find fault with what is past.” (Confucius) Let me then take your book and point you to Ecclesiastes VI. -10-11-12. “Whatsoever hath been, the name thereof was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him that is mightier than he.” * $ * Seeing there are many things that increase vanity, what is man the better? “For who knoweth what is good for man in his life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man - what shall be after him under the sun?” * * * “Whenever a mind is simple and receives a divine wisdom, then old things pass away—it lives now, arid absorbs past and future in to the present hour. Then there can be enlargement, and the man of today scarcely recognizes the man of yesterday. And such should be the outward biography of man in time, putting off of dead circumstances day by day, as he renews his raiment day by day. (Emerson) “For whatsoever is cast behind us is just nothing.” (Sir Walter Raleigh) “The Present is the living sum of total of the whole Past.” (Thomas Carlyle) And so to you who find time to remember something that you don’t like in my past I quote you, Lord Byron— “From the wreck of the past which hath perished, Thus much I at least may recall: It hath taught me that what I most cherished Deserved to be dearest of all.” late news flash pedestrian hit by hit-run cyclist Jack Glass, 413% Lincoln avenue was hit by a bicycle late Wednesday evening as he attempted to cross Lincoln avenue in front of the Housing Manager’s office. He was knocked to the pavement by the cyclist who failed to stop and was given aid by passing pedestrians who carried him to the offices of Dr. E. M. Baylor where he was treated for injuries to the left eye and a long gash on the left side of the head. James Evans, ARGUS reporter, stated that Roy Scott assisted Dr. Baylor in carrying the injured man into the offices.

EADERS SPEAK

This is a wetatiy column for the reaaers of me paper to express weir views on any subject maa tney so desire. Mane ail articles brief as possible and to mc point. Dear Editor: I must come out of the corner to drop an analysis of Evansville’s great sports writer who penned a lew lines in a paper the other day telling of just how dumb Louis is in the prize fight ring. I do agree with the penman that Joe Louis might be classed as a backward person when it comes to his educational background, buH I must remind him of the fact that Louis is surrounded by a corps of learned persons who make up for this deficiency on the part of our champion. His “brain trust” has instilled in the mind of this young man the value of following and keeping silent instead of braying and yelping as have some of the white champs have done, consequently they are on the outside of the money class. A perfect example of this is the short lived idol, Max Baer, as well as Jack Dempsey. Baer was so smart that he thought he could “party” and gal around at ait times but in the end what did his tendency to be smarter tnan hi s advisors bring him? Dempsey was also so smart or dumb that he fought Tunney in his own hot headed way and after two attempts, was convinced that the man in the corner 'sees and knows best. I give Louis credit for he is the perfect machine and relies on nis handlers for the brain. As far as picking Dempsey to be superior to the present “champ,” it is going farther than Dempsey would go himself, for he was champion only of those he chose to fight, those whom he believed he could defeat. He took good pains to “side-step” Harry Wills for a number of years and he could not even be forced to fight him. George Godfrey was fired as a sparring partner for knock-

What other human on earth could hold his own when all the country and some across the big “pond,” leave no stone unturned to attempt to find some faults that would reflect upon the character of the persons or race he represents?. To prove Louis is not so dumb, take note to his handlers—he has learned like millions of other colored boys that a colored boy’s climb to the top must be entrusted where he is sure he will not be doublecrossed. There were Wills and many other colored boys who were holdbacks. I agree that Galento will outdraw Louis here for the same reason, a hill billy string band would outdraw Rubinoff. Yours, Julius Mitchell.

My Life In Wadesville C C C Camp By Sergeant Clifford Hooper I, Clifford Hooper, was enrolled in the Civilian Conservation Corps September 12, 1935, at the age of seventeen years, nine months and twenty-three days. I was six feet and threefourths inches tall and my home and birth place is Evansville, Ind. During my conditioning period, I became deeply observant of my rudimental surroundings. The camp ground was dusty and knee deep with weeds. The food was served as shelter for our newlyformed company. Extra duty men were used to keep a five-hundred gallon . tank filled with water which was used for the purpose of drinking, cooking , washing utensils and shower baths that were installed in a tent. Having been enrolled on the L E M (local experience man) status, I conceived a misconstrued conception of my actual duties as an enrollee. After two weeks of observation I was able to discern a Company Commander from a Camp Superintendent. Captain Orman F. Fadley wag our first Company Commander. He extended a friendship to the enrollees that was ungratefully accepted. The manner in which the Army Overhead performed its duties was conscious or unconscious disloyalty. Sergeant Wilbur Vest was the Company’s first “Top Kick.” His method of leadership was untactful and unprogressive. The food was of excellent quality but poorly cooked. Prospective leaders and assistant leaders were placed in charge of the twelve tents that quartered about

Rev. S. Tollizer was ordained at the Dove Chapel Baptist Church last Sunday by several of the members of the ecclesiastical circle. Rev. V. L. McFarland delivered the principal sermon.

fourteen men each. Lt. Carson, company otficer, held reviile each morning at 5:8u wnen cool Sept, breezes often nad the tendency to aisnearten tne rookies (new enroneesj wno were unaccustomed to getting out of a warm bed into tne cold. At tne time of my arrival, preparations were being made to construct the barraexs, recreation hail, ©Oncers' quarters, mess hail, natn house, technical neadquarters ana other buildings. 1 was assigned to a post hoie digging crew tor four days. Two of my inoculations and a vaccination were received during tnis time. 1 received my issue of clothing and otner equipment and while uoing so 1 was quite amused at tne methods usea by tne fauppiy steward in hazing the new enrollees. Each new enroilee wouid be asked the size of his shoes and otner garments, but wnen he received tnese garments they wouid either be too large or too small, which gave the observer a good laugh to see the rookies in sadly misfitted new uniforms. During my conditioning period I acquired many pals who were members of the overhead. I attribute this to the fact that most of these young men were of the opinion that 1 was quite popular with the members of the fairer sex in Evansville and by my association with them would gain many acquaintances among the fairer sex. 1 often smile as 1 now think how badly they took it after they had . learned that most of my popularity came from being misunderstood. After several weeks of zealous efforts the buildings were constructed under the supervision of hired carpenters. My first experience in the field was with a mapping crew composed of three LEM enrollees and the engineer. We were instructed on pacing and field symbols. Part of our job as mappers was inside work which consisted of drawing copies of the same farm or field in which we roughly mapped the day before. I feel now that I took more pride than interest in this work. At night I would lay out a clean uniform for the next day which was also done oy the other two members of the crew. We were usually assigned to a crew as we would map the farm in which we were working. Later in my camp experience, mapping aided my progress in the field very much. Before taking you in the field with me I would like to enlight-

en you on my membership in the barracks. I was quartered in Barracks “A” under the leadership of Charles Manning and William King. Both of these men were fond of my jovial wits and disposed to grant me every privilege possible. I would razz them about my superior bed making or my well shined mess kit or the neatness in which I displayed my equipment for inspection. Little did they realize how much I admired this neatness and uniformity. At this point of my camp life I had found a deep interest in the Commander, the Technical /Supervisors, Leaders and Assistant Leaders. I was beginning to see a CCC camp in a different category of organized labor, recreation and education. 1 was willing to accept this vast program of conjureted action. 1 could vision a rising tide of efficiency that was not yet in our company. It was in the spring of ia36, after many members of Company No. 542 at Bloomington, Ind., had been transferred to this company, that the command wag changed. First Lt. W. W. Kitchen succeeded Capt. Orman F. Fadley. Lt. J. G. Cors was assigned to this company as his junior officer. Lt. Kitchen made his first tour of inspection on a Saturday morning in April of 1936. He brought a new white handkerchief to inspect the mess kits. This was met with much resentment on the part of the enrollees because they felt that this was exaggerated strictness. After the examination and inspection, Lt. Kitchen stated that he was well pleased with the mess, kits and thdt he would require that they stay in as good a condition as he had found them. General Lt. Kitchen’s command was accepted with great enthusiasm. Clyde L. Ashby, an experienced enrollee with many leadership qualifications, was assigned to the position of Co. Sr. Foreman shortly before Lt. Kitchen assumed command. He was well liked by the officers and enrollees.
