Bald win. pacifist in philosophy and prac tice and director of the National Civil Liberties Union. On the day that Baldwin began his sentence in a New ark penitentiary, the crowds in the streets were celebrating Armitiee Day. He had been sentenced to prison for a year for violating the Selective Ser vice AcL He does not believe in war and he refused to commit murder in the name of government, so a Federal judge sentenced him to a year in pris on—Baldwin reduced it to nine months for good behavior. His history after he left the prison sounds like a synphony of social ser vice in chords of citizenship, chief among which is his love and belief and championship of the Negro. That is why l say “get” the “World To- morow" and read the article "Gala- had of Freedom." T o Visit Brother COLONEL GOES TO JAIL O. D.

Suppose, like most peo ple, you buy about twelve tube* during a year. Now if you knew that you could buy as good a dentifrice aa can be made and still save each year the price of 25 loaves of bread or 60 bars of soap or 40 pounds of sugar or a box of fine cigars—could you conacientiouslv fail to take advantage of such an opportunity?
