SHARPLY condemned this week wher
the New Jersey State Supreme
Court ruled that Negroes have the
right to battle at any of the four
beaches at Long Braneth, N. J.
The hated anti-Negro practice,
long in effect in Long Branch,

bathe at any of the city's four
beaches, were required to register
at the City Hall, where they were
given badgesm. The Badges we're
in four c%olors, one for each beach,
and Negroes received only red
badges which restricted them ex-
clusively to beach No. 3. The city
administration, it was stated, pas.
sed two ordinances to legalize the
Cscrimination. Mrs. Bullock sued
to have the ordinances declared
invalid.
Although the court dismissed
tho petition becaue Mrs. Bullock
Rave not been convicted of viola
ting the ordinances, Justice Joseph
b. Perskie ruled t was clear that
the purpose of the laws was to
prevent members of the black
raco from intermingling with
members of the white race on the
beaches" He told Mrs. Bullock
Tho could compel the city To grant
her a permit to use any of the
beaches without regard to the
color question; a permit we have
stated she was entitled to have"

Thurgood Marshall, special le'

handle the case of William Muir

India. So far as the oil concession is
concerned, however. the Americans
are supreme, because the British syn
dictate that first acquired a concession
there failed to realize the possibili-
ties and finally transferred it to
American oil interests.
Curiously enough, the first drilling
that took place in Bahrain was not
for oil, but for water. Until that
time there had been no fresh water on
the island, and the native Arabs were
dependent for their supply on springs
that arose offshore in the sea. They
would go out in boats and dip it up,
but whenever storms came the sweet
water would become mixed with salt
water before the boats could get
there. To relieve this situation, ar
tesian wells were sunk, and subse-
quently oil was found in such guam
titles that this now has become n Of
the worlds great oil fields.

Mr.. II. +. c. writes in to ask that

That little thing which has beer
brought to life within the mother
and has eaten and slept its way
through infancy becomes, at the Pc
riod of life between the ages of one
and six, miniature adult with but
little reasoning power--a being guild
ed by instinct from within and by
increasing experience from without.
This embryonic adult is known in
health circles as the preschool child
with health protection his inherent
right.
The preschool child should not be
a prey to those communicable dis
eases which can be prevented. Every
preschool child should be protected
against those other communicable
diseases which may pass from one
child to another or from adult to
ciild-such as-colds, streptoccic
sore throat, mumps, measles, chick
en- pox, scarlet fever, dysentery,
pneumonia, tuberculosis. and even
the veneral diseases. The small child
has not acquired the stamina to bat
tie disease as effectively as the old
er child He needs to store up re-
serves from foods and minerals. He
needs strength of heart, lungs, kid
neys, and digestive tract to assist
in the battles against disease. What
may be a light attack in an older
child may prove losing battle with
the preschool child. Resistance must
be built up during the preschool
age.
Medical care as a preventive meas
ure must not be ignored, during the
preschool period. The physically
well child has the advantage ever
the physically i'll in mental reac-
ton to school life. The preschool
child should have a medical check
up at least once or twice a year.
