PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Some fellow walked in
on our little party IN one of the
favorite spots for Saturday night
ers, and having just heard some
very young girls INDUCING in some
of that loud and obscene language
on the street started q discussion,
as we took on our fish and beer as
to how best to get rid of. the
clou.ning, loud vulgarity, and gen.
eral cussedness observed all too
much where Aunt Hagar's Chillun
congregate. especially on Satur-
day night; a condition which Is
generally referred to as public
conduct and delinquency, accord
ing to the ages of the actors.
One fellow IN our group. who
appeared TO me a rather realistic
fellow said that the best way TO
stop such things was 20 have some
Negro policeman, who could wade
into" such people without any i'm
plications Of race relations"
And of course there followed
some talk on when and If VIC would
ever get Negro Policemen in Jack
son. ana I agreed with one fell
low, who insisted that we could
have them, but only when the Ne
gro Citizens themselves were will
ing to continue to ask for them
until they had been put on. AS
everywhere. such as Little Rock,
Miami, and other towns, there
has been a marked improvement
in Race relations and public con-
duct after the appointment of Ne
