Boy Scouts
Go On Outing

Camp Lookaloo, Scout camp for
Negroes, has completed one of its
best seasons, according to Scout
Executive Harry Maxfield, in re-
viewing the report rendered by
Camp Director Leonard M. Parker,
who revealed that 165 Scouts at
tended from IA troops.
Held at the site owned by the
Colored Federated Woman's Clubs,
the camp closed its second week
with troops from Jackson, Port
Gibson. Vicksburg, Edwards Piney
Woods School, McComb and Brook
haven.
The program was planned in ac-
cordance with the principles and
policies of the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea. Probably the most interesting
activity was the swimming, direct
ed by the Rev. A. L. Rice. Scout
advancement was featured in the
daily program, with Scouts receiv-
ing instruction in safety, first aid,
pioneering and other subjects for
which instruction is not always
available in the home towns.
During the first week, Jackson
troops predominated, with Troop
No. so, of Mt. Helm Baptist church,
Otis Jones, scoutmaster, having the
largest attendance.
AS chairman of the camping
committee, James A. White re-
ceived praise for his work in pre-
pairing the camp. Regular inspec-
tons were made by Scout officials
to assure high standards of health
and safety. Assistant Scout Execu-
tive Harold Steen served as bust
ness manager of Loobaloo and of
Camp Kickapoo. The menus for
the camp was prepared by Miss
Carolyn Campbell, dietitian at
Kickapoo.

the schools in the Secondary
School Study Mr.. Bowman was
considered a sort of dean of the
group Although he was probably
the Oldest in terms of years no
one of the group was younger and
more forward looking in educa-
tional thinking and planning for
school development. He was a con-
slant student Of the changing Am
erican high school.
Until a few days before his
death, Mr.. Bowman was planning
to serve as a staff member and
special consultant at the first AL
corn A. & M. summer workshop
for Mississippi principals. He lit
orally died with his boots on" in
the service of improved education
for Negro boys and girls. One of
his greatest unrealized hopes was
to see the Magnolia Avenue high
school accredited by the Southern
Association The. white and Negro
community of Vicksburg could
erect no more fitting memorial to
him than to see this status for his
school achieved.

Highway Patrol
Urges Caution
On July Fourth

c. R. Bradley, commissioner of
public safety, Tuesday announced
that special enforcement cam
paign will be in effect over the
Fourth Of July holiday season.
The campaign, he said, is in CO..
operation with a nationwide drive
being conducted by the National
Safety Council to reduce the stag
gering holiday death toll which oc-
ours annually at this time.
The Highway Patrol is asking
every citizen to enlist in this cam
paign to save lives and property
over this holiday season.
This is no time for anyone to be
wasting lives, property and time
through needless accidents. Yet, the
traffic accident death toll is up Is
per cent for the first four months
of the year. A little common sense,
courtesy and care in driving will
halt this mounting toll
Commissioner Bradley pointed
out that many war workers would
be going to and from work des-
pite the holiday period. He pre-
dicted that gas or no gas, the holi
day traffic will be heavy.
One of the best ways to help our
boys of Mississippi who are out
there fighting for us is to stop ac-
cidents that waste manpower here
on the home front Those boys must
have every bit of material they
need for the prosecution of the war.
Our job is to give it to them. Ac-
cidents slow our efforts.
Commissioner Bradley empha-
sized that violators of wartime traf-
fic duriving restrictions not only
are flirting with death, but expos
ing irreplacable cars to destruc-
ton

Prof. Bowman
Of Vicksburg
Passes June IL

In the passing of Professor J. G.
H. Bowman of Vicksburg, on June
II, the group of sixteen principals
in the Secondary School Study has
suffered heavy loss.
The Magnolia Avenue high school
of Vicksburg, of which Mr.. Bow
man has been principal for many
years, was one of the first Negro
high schools of the Southern re-
gion to become a member of the
Study which for the past four years
has been conducted under the di-
rectorship of w. A Robinson for
the Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools for Negroes.
Magnolia Avenue high school
was considered by the officials in
the Mississippi Department of
Education as one of the best Negro
high schools of the state, largely
because of the forward looking
leadership of its principal, and the
school was chosen for membership
in the study in recognition of the
unusual kinds of services that it
was giving to students and to the
community of Vicksburg.
For reasons which Mr.. Bowman
was unable to control, the Magnolia
Avenue high school was never able
to meet the standards for accredi-
tation of the Southern Association
but few accredited high schools of
the region could give evidence of
a more adequate educational pro-
gram. There is no more stricking
case in the South of the Negro peo-
pie of an urban community, thro-
ugh their complete confidence in
the integrity and determination of
an educational leader, taxing them
selves by voluntary contribution to
provide thousands Of dollars nee
essary for purchasing school sites
and costly school equipment.
Only by such voluntary contri-
button over and above their regular
taxes were they able to provide
adequate school facilities. Through
this means the school acquired
library, science laboratories, type
writers for a business department,
teacher for business education
and many other things which the
children would otherwise have
been denied Many of the boys and
girls trained in business are now
serving in strategic places in ci-
william war work and in the armed
forces. Mr.. Bowman could point to
many highly successful people in
all parts of the country and in
many specialized fields of work,
who got their start and their in
spiration in his school No school
man in America was more sincere
ly loved and more highly revered
by students, teachers, and parents.
Often he was invited by white
civic organizations to speak before
them on the needs and problems
of the Negro people. To these oc-
casions he brought dignity and
culture that every one was COM
PEELED to recognize and admire.
His straightforward presentation of
conditions and causes often result
ed in corrective measures being
instituted.
