Gratitude It is a pleasure appropriate to man, for him to save a fellow- man, and gratitude Is acquired in no better way.— Ovid. For the speaker was the Rev Robert Ross Johnson, pastor of St. Albans Congregational Church 172-17 Linden Blvd., Queens. As one of the leaders of the demon­ stration demanding employment of Negroes at the Rochdale Vil­ lage construction among the first arrested and Jailed Dramatise “I feel that by making the sacrifice I can help dramatise the imbalance in the economic market which may lead to tbcf minority getting Jobs so they can $ work for their needs.” Rev. Johnson had seen the in­ side of Jails many times, for he is chaplain at the House of De­ tention for Men, Queens. The majority of the inmates are Ne­ groes, he said, adding: » “That's one place they don’t hold us back. The door is wide open”. He spoke of the problems of the community; traced the fact of Negro majority in the house of detention to “the re­ sult of the sickness of society”. “Whea a man Is denied bread and his rightful heritage you can expect him hi the particul­ ar circumstances, in Jail.” So he has Joined In the all-out ef­ fort to provide Negroes equal employment opportunity. Rev. Johnson earned the right to be one of the leaders in this fight. He has been active in the NAACP in Brooklyn and Queens and before that in Chicago. But he has also built a monument to his leadership there in St. Al­ bans. Many who drive or ride past his church must have wondered about the upper class white fam­ ilies who worship in that church. At least this reporter did; and Rev. Johnson said many persons have thought that way too For St Albans Congregational Church Is an exceedingly strik­ ing A-frame modern architectur­ al structure, with a large pro­ portion of its exterior of glass. One frit proud to know that Rev Johnson created the idea and built this church out of nothing. New For Church Yes, out of nothing- for in 1953 when Rev. Johnson was pastor of Nazarene Congregational Church in Brooklyn; the St. Albanschurch or congregation did not exist. But a survey showed the need for a new church. So he went out to start a new congregation in St. Albans, hold­ ing meetings first In homes, then at the Merrick Community Cen­ ter and Linden Theatre. From' 1953 to 1956 he served both Naz­ arene and his new St Albans Church. ----------- , Bought Site AT ADELPHI — Dorothy N.

Exec Offers Solution “If rent control were removed, there would be suffic­ ient demand for construction work to enable construction un­ ions to accept as Journeymen members all of the skilled Ne­ gro and Puerto-Rican construct­ ion workers in New York”, said Lee S. Sterling, executive-direct­ or of the American Property Rights Association 78 Willoughby Street, Brooklyn. “Rent control is a bottleneck which is preventing rehabilita­ tion of run-down properties to the tune of betwen $500,000,000 'and one billion dollars a year for ' at least the next ten years said Sterling. “The building trades unions must wake up to the fact that discrimination because of color in the skilled levels of employ ment is at an end. Building re­ habilitation is the only un-tapped program which will provide full employment for all skilled con­ struction workers. “The alternative Is a make- work program conducted by the State of New York which will mean higher taxes.” The churches working in this program are Bethany Lutheran, First Presbyterian, Lemuel Hay­ nes, St. Albans Congregational, St. John Episcopal, St. Peter’s Lutheran. St. Thomas Lutheran, Springfield Gardens Methodist, Trinity Lutheran, Union Metho­ dist and Westminister Presby terian.
