JUST THINKING
It Happened In South Carolina
By WILLIAM A. Bill" JOHNSON

THE COLI MBIA $50 State this week published the
/ following an editorials The University of North
Carolina has completed important study OF 10000 boys
and girls living in eight North Carolina counties The
study Included facts the parents of these boys and
GIRLS For example The white fathers who never went
r. school earn mean annual income of $751; those who
graduated from high school average S6o2; those VINO
went 10 college average 81 $50 Negro fathers who new
er went to school average S692 those having high school
education earned 5000 for those who attended
college There again support for the thesis so often
presented and supported by facteducaton and income
are associated Relief rolls show that many persons on
relief have no schooling only little This thesis has
meaning in every and strong meaning in South Caro-
Ina where income is low partly because education IS IN
ADEQUATE This state make money by spending money
for senshl education Improvement in human beings IS
our fundamental need We have great roads. and good
sometimes ~plendid-public buildings. But we have
relatively unedGcated public.
This acknowledgment hv the press in the State Of
South Carolina forward step along the line Of
education Such candid revelation will no doubt result
in greater appropriations for educational purposes.
We have known that the educational standard in the
state South Carolina very low. especially among
the Negro resdens Now know that there a rela-
tively uneducated public.
Since there desire to increase the income Of the
State there great hope that emphasis and larger
appropriations will be made for the education of the
Negro youth.
Ny hat is off to the Columbia $50 State for ac-
knowledgng this neglect in matters of educating all
residents regardless of color

A THOUGHT FOR
THANKSGIVING
By CHARLES EVERETT JACKSON
3S49 w Kirbv

Our country is not shelled or bombed,
On this Thanksgiving Day;
For reason that divinest is.
We're free in every way.
Your child and nine are not being sent
To flee from mortal strife.
In numbers vast - safer lands.
To save lis little life.
Our homes we seek safe refuge in
Stand not in somber mien.
Riddled hv aggressive foes
That state we have not seen.
No sordid tales have we 70 tell
OF bombers in their wake.
OF how they wreak destructiveness,
Not caring for mortal sake.
We do no have 10 rush into
A shelter for our lives.
Remaining there in huddled pew
TIL bombers cease their drives
Remaining in for days on end,
ntil the signal sounds
For one 10 leave those quarters cramped
To resurvey ones grounds.
Much We should be thankful for
Our nation shares the most
OF blessings that alb hdant are.
Rained down by God. the Host
A prayer of thankfulness we should
Be kind enough to say,
Because our matte is not at war
On this Thanksgiving Day.
The Detroit tribune. (Detroit, Mich.) 1935-1966, 1940-11-23

I thank God for America
The land the Pilgrims trod.
Where man Is neither jailed
nor bled
For worshlpping his God.
I thank God for America

That gave a home TO homeless man
