WHO LIVES NEXT DOOR?
by Ruth Taylor
How many of you see the Com-
munity News of Merchantville, New
Jersey? Its very able editor recently
wrote an editorial which was
thought-provoking, to say the least.
“Who lives next door—or are you the
fellow?"
There is something in that sen-
tence which appeals to th? imagina-
tion. Each one who reads it will fol-
low through according to his own
line of thought. Here is what it
meant to me.
Who lives next door? Is it the
Murphys, the Smiths, the Slezaks,
the Antonios, the Cohens, the Koz-
walskis, the Sanchezs? This is Amer-
ica, and it may be any one of them.
But really it is you, too—for you are
part of America, and America means
men and women of all faiths, races,
religions and colors, working side by
side to make of this a better and a
greater nation.
This is a big world. Likewise we
are a big country. The world is built
upon competition. So is our country.
But fortunately, our country is so
large—both mentally and physically
—that there is room for all of us,
provided our motives are sincere.
We, as Americans, do not want dic-
tation from any group. Therefore we
must not dictate to any one. Equally
so is the fact that we must not be
indifferent to the needs of any one.
It was George Bernard Shaw who
said: “The worst sin toward our fel-
low creatures is not to hate them,
but to be indifferent to them; that
is the essence of inhumanity.”
Who lives next door? Whose job
is it to make the best of America?
His or yours—for to someone else
YOU are the fellow next door.
We cannot have a superior without
an inferior—so the insecure try to
manufacture inferiors upon whom to
look down. You can get a pain in the
neck from looking down as much as
from craning up. Free men should
look AT each other—for they are
neighbors. Who lives next door? It
Is you and me and every last Ameri-
can of us. We are neighbors all—and
until and unless we assume a neigh-
borly spirit of cooperation, we are
not living up to the best that is
America.
What we need to do ;s to look
around at our fellow-Americans
drawn from every rank of life, from
every nation, from every religion,
and say: “Thank God for America
—where we can all work together,
fight together—and win together!
Let’s get to it! Together nobody can
beat us!”

Want Consumer Price Lists
Large-scale distribution of lour to-
five million consumer price lists is
needed in connection with a cam-
paign to “Sell Retailers on Their
Stake in Price Control,” declared the
Consumer Advisory Committee to
OPA in protesting against substitu-
tion of a plan of posting Community
ceiling price lists in Retail Stores.
Shoppers are too hurried or too timid
to question prices in the presence of
other shoppers who may bo waiting,
the committee said. Informed shop-
ping, the advisors believe, “is pos-
sible only when consumers have stu-
died their celing prices at home.”

WOMEN IN THE CHURCH
By Mary Fowler
Five bureaus of the Woman’s So-
ciety of Christian Service—the wo-
men's organization under the Board
of Missions of the Methodist Church
(150 Fifth Ave., New York, N. Y.)
are asking for a total of seventy-five
women to enter home missionary
service as teachers, social workers,
matrons, etc., in schools and insti-
tutions mainlined in the "United
States by the Church. Half of these
positions are teaching in Negro,
mountain, and Spanish-speaking
southwestern schools; the positions
range from teaching modern lang-
uages in a junior cpllege to sewing
in a mountain school. Within the
fields of city institutions, town and
country schools, social service, hos-
pitals and settlements, there are po-
sitions for case workers, librarians,
music and art teachers, house-moth-
ers, cooks, dietitians, home econom-
ics, and all the secondary school sub-
jects.

In the recent death of Miss Mary E.
Branch, Ped. D., LL.D., president of
Tillotson College, Austin, Texas, Ne-
gro America has lost one of its most
renowned women educators. Tillot-
son College, a co-educational insti-
tution for Negroes, was founded six-
„ years ago by the American Mis-
sionary Association of the Congrega-
tional Christian Board of Home Mis-
sions. Dr. Branch, through fourteen
years of her presidency, saw Tillot-
son grow from a small school to re-
ceive a “Class A” educational rating,
become second in standing in all
Negro colleges in Texas, and first
among A.H.A. colleges. A native of
Farmerville, Va., Dr. Branch was for
many years on the faculty of her
alma mater, and Virginia State Col-
lege for Negroes. She also served for
period as assistant moderator of
the General Council of the Congre-
gational Christian Churches.

The second biennial assembly of
representatives of the 1,000,000 Pro-
testant church women who make up

men will be held from November 14

men of all Protestant denominations,
will counsel together and lay plans
for their part in building a “Chris-
tian world order.” All American
church women are welcome to at-
tend the meeting. It will be a work-
ing conference, featuring inspiration-
al addresses, discussion groups, and
general consideration of material
now being prepared for presentation
by Councils of Church Women in 12
cities across the country.
