Brieft0riaI

Recently, several men were
discussing a young man who
had turned out badly"
They knew the young man,
his early environment and his
family, and they couldn't un-
derstand what made him get
into trouble.
But one of the men said: IT
knew Bill better than you did.
1t all started a number of years
ago, when he was in school. He
got in with the wrong crowd,
and he has never been the same
since"
This situation is common
enough to make the choosing of
our friends a very important
matter. The boys and girls
with whom you are in daily
contact are bound to influence
you in many ways, and it is vital
that their influence be good
rather than bad.
That doesn't mean that you
should be snobbish or stuck
up" You can be pleasant and
courteous to every one. But for
your real pals" choose the
most worthwhile boys and girls
you know. The Editor.

Standing in back of her was a
young woman whose husband is
somewhere in the South Pacific.
Will he come home again? Well, to
help make sure of it, she's buying
bonds and more bonds.
And next, to my surprise, was a
pair of twins, one soldier, the other
a sailor. AS if reading my thoughts,
one Of them said: Sure, we're help
ing our country out as it is, but we
want to do more"
At last, it was my turn to buy
my share of liberty insurance. l

had planned to invest SIS of it in
stamps and spend the remaining

While thinking of the dress and hat,
which 1 didn't really need, feeling
of shame came over me, and when
asked how many stamps and bonds
1 wanted, I answered with a clear
conscience:
twenty-five dollars worth!"

Here's cute idea for necklace
Buy small box of birthday cam
dies of any color. Stick a needle
into the end of one of the candles
Light the candle and hold it over an
old plate to catch the drippings
Hold the candle about a half inch
aboye the plate SO the drippings
will look like small beads.
Thread the needle and string the
candle beads. Continue this until
you have the size necklace you want
This will look very smart, indeed

HUNTINGTON. N G. = CAMP

WILMINGTON, N. c. - CAMP
In an effort to ease racial ten
sion in this southern community, a
group of prominent ministers and
church laymen called on Mayor B.
R. Cameron and the city council
last week and asked for a special
program for Negro citizens. The
special program would include al
terations in recreation transporta-
ton, and police protection services.
The council was urged to auth
orize placement of three Negro po-
licemen to cooperate with other law
enforcers of the north, south and
center colore neighborhoods. A
spokesman for the group also asked
that a reservation be set aside for
Negro swimmers at Greenfield lake.
Extension of the bus line to the
USO Center for Negroes was anoth-
er suggestion offered to the city
fathers, together with a proposal
that special ticket window be set
up for colored patrons at the Union
Bus depot and the Atlantic Coast
Line station. City officials were
prevailed upon further to see the
necessity for employing chartered
buses to transport Negro citizens to
the popular resort, Sea Breeze, on
Sundays.

sue OF the Southwest Georgian. AS
result of the pressure that the
local board put on Editor Searles
successor, the paper was suspend

Colonel Keelin was asked to in
vestigate the board because this
type of action is a serious threat
to the existence of the Negro
press" which Mr.. Scott expressed
belief rs essential TO our war
effort by printing news of interest
to Negroes and thereby keeping up
their morale"
MOVED TO ONE-A
On February 6, Searles carried an
article regarding the Hall lynching
with the Baker County sheriff and
two deputies being charged with
the crime. Quite a furore resulted
Immediately after the appearance
of the article, Albany Draft Board
Number One reacted! Searles,
who was then ga, was notified on
February to report for physical
examination on February IL.
On February IL, Searles wrote
Editor Scott:
THE definite rumor, making the
rounds, is that local police high
officials blamed me for disseminat-
ing the lynching story and feel
that | am responsible for its pub
hcation. Walter Poteat, the under
taker here, was questioned by
Sheriff Troy and Police Chief Jim
my Moore. Poteat told them about
my taking the pictures and, while
they talked sympathetically to
him, it was well known that they
feared the Southwest Georgian.

Their evidence tended to show that
the board was still putting pres

According to first hand informa-
