INDIA FREEDOM

Bombay, India, Nov.-(CNA)-Mo-

this week that the resignation of right

After official autopsy revealed gas
poison as the cause of death, Harrison
Reed found dead in bathroom at Gil

dead by his own hand according to a
police analysis, based upon the fact
that an Intentionally broken gas line
was found open in the adjoining kitch-
en- of the house which was found Sc
curely locked and barred from within.
Further investigation revealed also that
Reed had constantly spoken of such
an act for some time and had repeated
such an intention day or so before
the alleged completion of the act. and

Color Bar Removed
JACK RAIDS CAFE

After heart to heart talk with the
county attorney, early this week, Jack
Raid who has been for some weeks
past barring Negroes from his spot"
at fourth and Washington Avenue
South, with much gusto and no little
insulting profanity has indeed seen the
error of his ways. Now any Negro
who has no self respect can be served
without reference to color or creed at
Washington and Fourth Avenue South.
The only reason any Negro can have
for entering this "Spot" is that he was
a stranger and did not know what this
man has tried to do to Negroes here
in the very near past.

THIS HAS BEEN
THANKSGIVING WEEK
BY Rev. August F. Boyd

Long centuries before the landing of
the Pilgrims, and longer yet before the
Presidents and Governors began to
set apart the day in the late Novem-
Der which has developed into an old
home religious festival dear to every
American christians heart The Apos-
tie Paul in IS AID. was emphasizing
over and over the element of thanks
giving as an essential part of the equip
ment of those who would lead the
right kind of lives.
The thanksgiving which is really
worth while, that which makes us bet
ter and stronger, and which blesses the
whole world is the thanksgiving which
becomes habit daily presenting our
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, accept
able to God. A year of doubt and dis
contentment cannot be atoned for by
one day of gratitude for the bounties
of the harvest. The pessimism which
prevents peace and progress through
three hundred and sixty-five days can
not be offset by the optimism which
goes with chicken, goose, duck or
turkey dinner
There's so much more to be thank
full for, if we would only stop to re-
alize it!
The poor, the sick, the naked, the
hungry, and those in prison and the
old age, are, / am afraid, more thrilled
with the numberless blessings than we
are.
The Thanksgiving Day means much
to every American Citizen, but that of
the Pilgrim Fathers who came to this
country long ago when it was a wild
erness, how great was their suffering,
and how more than half of their num-
Der died, and yet when March came
and the sun shone brightly again the
living sang songs of thanksgiving for
all Gods mercies to them and when
they gathered their harvest in the fall,
Governor Bradford sent four men out
to hunt and fish that they might have
something especially good for their
celebration, and the Indian King, Mas
sasoit, came with nineteen other men
and five deer. One colony after an
other kept its own day of thanksgiv-
ing, until George Washington as Pres
ident of the United States set apart a
day in November for the whole nation
to observe as Thanksgiving Day. And
every year since then our country has
observed Thanksgiving Day as a
special day on which to thank God.
! Psalm 100. A Psalm of praise.
MAKE joyful noise unto the Lord,
all ye lands. Serve the Lord with
giadness; come before His presence
with singing Know ye that the Lord
He is God: it is He that hath made
u.s. and not ourselves; we are His peo-
pie, and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiy-
ing, and into His courts with praise:
be thankful unto Him, and bless His
mercy is everlasting; and His truth
endureth to all generations"

All is quiet on the University front
this week, after the hair raising, breath
taking episodes, which followed the
theatrical aspirations of some, the demi
theatrical ambitions of others.
Life among the cultured has drifted
back to regular channels.
In the cafeteria, opponents of seq
regation are still rushing in, dragging
several tables together, and forming an
all Negro eating spot in a public din
ing room.
Wonder what they would say if
some U official ordered it?
Not only is their self segregation

Baker Post, American Legion, has
apparently taken the play from the
many guilds that make for Negro sue
cess and happiness, by their quiet dis
play of much needed charity.
One of the comrades, while on a va
cation tour of the southland, passed
through the area of sharecropper suf-
fering in southeastern Missouri.
He brought the matter to the at
tention of the post, and they decided
that it was about time for Negroes to
start doing something for themselves.
They made an appeal for clothing,
which was strictly confined to colored
persons.
Not only did they receive a great
deal of wearing apparel, but phone
calls are still being received from per-
sons requesting shipping directions etc
