FoI PIoy


within the next few weeks a hearing will be held
before a special committee to determine whether the
greyhound Bus Line will be allowed to operate on High
way 81 between Jackson and Memphis.
Several years ago the Mississippi Railorad Com
mission granted a franchise to the Greyhound Bus Line
to operate between Jackson and Memphis over highway
OIL. Ihey operated buses over this route for a while
and due to the conditions of the roads and other things
found that it was not profitable and abandoned the
route.
A franchise was then given to the Tri-States Bus
roads until Highway 81 was completed. Today they are
showing a fair margin of profit on this route.
The Greyhound bus line now steps in and saws they
want to operate under their original franchise, but only
want to run through busses and stop at the large towns.
Ihey might have said it in this manner: 1.-THE pasture
Is green now so let us get over there and get some of
that fresh tender green grass"
Everyone wants fair play and we are certain the
opeclal Committee will not allow the GREYHOUND line
to step in after the Tri-States have taken the muL
the gravy.
Inc Irl-States Line is giving good service. Plenty
u Doth through and local BUSES to take care of the
Ta1flc. They have built their own bus stations recently
at canton and Grenada and plants are now underway
TO oulld one in Winona and Durant. They have ordered
out thirteen of the latest model bussse to nut on this
route and are giving satisfactory service with modern
equipment.
Fair Play" is all the Tri-State Bus COMPANY is
asking Tor and we feel certain the Special Committee
will see they get it.

n. }. c. Homecoming Is
Enjoyable Affair

Homecoming at Holmes Junior Col
lege last Friday, October %, was a
very enjoyable affair. A number of
former students were back on the
campus. but 1t was impossible for
some to arrive in time for the pro-
gram at eleven o'clock. They were
greatly missed and they. in turn,
missed the sincere words of welcome
spoken by President M. C. Mcdaniel
md Thomas Donald, president of the
student body; the gracious response
given by Mrs. Williams of the class
of 1918 and Marion Ousley of the
class of 1928; the variety of numbers
o ably rendered by the quartets;
the humorous and esthetic dances
riven by the Physical Education De-
partment; and the witty, inspiration
u talk of Robert Candy of jackson.
Everyone regretted the absence of
Johnny Powell, class of 1888. who
was also on the program for a re-
Spouse.
Since the weather mar was so
very favorable, plate lunch was serv-
d on the campus; and during tine

Promptly at two-thirty the foot

a good beginning and scored twice in
the first half. The real battle came
in the las quarter when Holmes
finally completed a beautiful pass and
made their only touchdown. Although
the Bulldogs were defeated. everyone
present will have to say it was q
rea game.
The most spectacular number of the
day was the drill between the haves-

TO THE EDITOR
Thanks Forum
To the Editor Of the Forum:

To the Editor of the Forum:
The officers, loyal members, and
many friends of Allen A.M.E. Church
are indeed grateful to the Dayton
Forum for the detailed account re-
garding the most tragic passing of
our pastor, the Rev. Pleasant Solo
mon Hill.
The daily papers failed to secure
authentic information in connection
with this tragedy, as is usually the
case where white dailies cover Incl
dents involving Negro happenings,
thereby making way for wide spread
gossip and other unfortunate stu
ations.
The Rev Mr.. Hill was not only a
credit to the church with which he
was identified, but to the Negro race
as whole. His intellectual ability
qualified him as great leader,
teacher, and pastor. His character
was so harmoniously in keeping with
the teachings Of Jesus Christ, that
he endeared himself in the hearts
Of people everywhere.
Dayton and Allen A.M.E. Church
have truly suffered great loss.
Again, thanks for giving the cor
rect picture of this horrible incident.

sblini In their attacks on Spanish
il democracy, in their violations Of
treaties?
Those Negroes who, like William
fickens, field secretary Of the MA
tional Association for the Advance
ment OF Colored People, have come
forw4d as apologists among our
people for Japanese imperialism
would do well TO ponder where
policy Of support Of Japan would
lead as. In his weakly syndicated
column, pickens recently stated:
"The best thing for those OF us
who love America is to take care
of our own sea-shores and mighty
mountains and stay out of this mess.
And further: "WeIl, who in the name
Of the Lord, ought to be masters of
the Orient If not the Japa aese or
some other Oriental race?"
Pickens not only justified Japan's
criminal attack on the Chinese peo-
pie, but supported the most reac-
tionary circles of the ruling class
in this country in their rabid oppo-
sition to the policy of collective se-
curity, for the curbing Of The fascist
aggressor nations.
Support of japanese fascism
would inevitably strengthen the
hands of Japan's military allies:
Mussolini and Hitler. 1t would
strengthen the fascist elements in
this country, the Liberty Leaguers
and the Southern lynch lords.
These are the people--the Liber-
ty League, the Hearsts, the Heflins,
th eDies--who have fought stub
bornly against all democratic re-
forms in this country, against the
progressive legislation Of the New
Deal. They are now waging say
age struggle against the Anti-Lynch-
ing Bill, against wages and hours
legislation. They shamelessly sup
port the status quo Of mob violence
and brutal suppression Of both Me-
groes and whites in the South.
These are the people whose reac--
tionary pressures upon the Federal
Government on the occasion of Mus
solini's invasion Of Ethiopia resulted,
to the JOY Of the Mussolinis and Hit
lers, in the passage of the so-ealied
Neutrality Act, which blocked sane
tions against italian fascism and ex-
cluded the possibility Of Ethiopian
purchase Of arms in this country
| Today, as then, their game is to up
hold the hands Of the fascist aggres-
sor.

and it is constantly in doubt as to
whiih way il is headed. Fortunate
" the black man has a remarkable
history, commonly called Negro
History.
North Carolina Mutual Life In

Association For The Study Of Negro
Life and History, Incorporated, and
all other Institutions, as well as IN
dividuals, interested in the welfare
Of the Negro, make available for
every library and school of the
American people some of the history
of the Negroes contributions to the
growth and development Of the
United States Of America and many
other nations.
Only the histories written by and
published for Negro authors in the
United States contain very many
items to the credit Of Negroes. Race
Prejudice is the predominating rea-
son for the omission Of facts re-
garding Negro achievement in the
average American history. Unfor-
tunately, therefore, a heavier bur
den rests upon the Negro to devise
ways and means of publishing and
circulating his own history.
The historical calendar for 1888
was selected by our company pri-
marily for the purpose of exhibiting
on the walls Of Libraries, schools, and
business establishments a group OF
items arranged BY the Rev. George
w. Harvey, Braddock, Pa, with the
hope that the youth Of our race may
be exposed to these facts through the
schools and Libraries, and that the
adults may be inspired as they OBJ
serve them on the walls in public
places.
