Ministers Wives
Seek USO Bldu.
Fer Recreation

The INSTRUMENTATION Min
isters' Wives Alliance are seek
ing to obtain as temporary rec
reation center, the building now
being used by the Carver YMCA,
it having been previously an
nounced by Executive Secretary
Hegwood of the USO-YMCA that
this building would be vacated by
April first unless unforeseen de-
velopments occur.
The Alnance announces that at
one of several interviews with
Mr.. Amo, city recreational direc-
tor, he said: If you can secure
assistance in financing and direct
ing a Community Center Pro-
gram in the present USO build
ing at Ninth and State Streets,
there is possibility of using this
site as a recreation center for all
age groups. There is a great
overhead promoting a program
in this type building which
necessitates supplemental al
from the community which bene-
fits from the center"
' The Alliance is appealing to
the public on behalf of its chill
dren to take this chance to give
the kids right start with the
right things to occupy their minds
and right place for their meet
ings. This should aid in reducing
the problem of juvenile delin-
quency.
Mr.. Amo will explain this set
up in meeting at the Allison
Presbyterian Church, Ninth and
state Streets, Sunday, March II,
at four p. m. The public is in
vited to be present. It is under
stood that centrally located
grounds are being sought for a
permanent park location and

MYLES A. HIBBLER, promi-
nent attorney Of Little Rock, died
early Saturday morning after a
long illness.
Attorney Hibbler, junior MEM
Der of the law firm of Hibbler &
Hibbler, enjoyed many accom-
plishments in the field of law.
One of the highlights of his career
was his assignment by the NAA
CP to negotiate the Little Rock
Teachers Equalization of Salar-
les litigation. The documentary
evidence which he gathered went
a long way in successful compile
ton of the case.
Aside from his parents, he is
survived by his wife, Mrs. Fran
ces Hibbler, one brother, DR..
John A. Hibbler, Kansas City;
and one sister, Mrs. Fannie Bell
Carter.
Because of his fine personality
which gained for him many
friends in the courts as well as
generally, the news of his pass
ing was all the more shocking.
Mr. Hibblpr attended H. taaa1

Prosecuted Turn
Prosecutors

A Chinese woman who operates
4 grocery in a Negro section and
has large Negro trade was sit
ting in bus this week just ahead
# Negroes. A colored woman
entered the bus at regular stop
and sat down beside the Chinese
woman. The latter protested and
arose and went up and sat be-
ide white woman. BY this
time the incident had the atten-
ton of all riders.
The white woman evidently
administering a rebuke to the
Chinese, arose and took another
seat, meanwhile saying to ho"
"'uld-be seat-mate, You'll sit
in seat by yourself"
II is interesting to note that a
white man made the statement
ONE time ago, 1T is Negroes
VNo supro't Chinese 81 '"es Of
business, not white people" That
10 Chinese are conscious of this
is shown when they seek bust
f00ses in Negro ncighborhoods.
While the Negro seeks social re.
lation7 with no one and feels that
1ii own socie'y is competent to
render Linn all tho happiness he
ieeires in group life. he feels the
sting Of unnecessary sights and
insults OF those who push them
selves into his neighborhoods
and set their tables from his sup
port.

"STRANGE FRUIT"
BAD TASTE

Strange Fruit was in bad
taste, some who saw II contend.
Strange Fruit featured glar-
ing contradiction of fact in at
tempting to portray a pretty
young Negro girl graduate of a
southern college as vulgar and
low enough TO forget all the prin-
ciples of racial dignity and honor
they all receive in our colleges in
the South and make a doormat of
herself for a ne'er do-well son of
prominent white family.
''1c imrlication was that it is
common that such relationships
exist and that the more cultured
the Negro girl is, the more apt
che is to throw away herself and
her race for the alleged satisfac-
ton Of being the behind the
house" paramour of some white
man.
Critics, who know the racial
score, were bitter that a play
would be allowed to misinform
audiences that the average edu-
Gated southern Negro girl would
give herself away without price
tag or without reason to a white
man.
They said it is the other way
around the white girl of breed
ing and family is more common
ly found sharing secret intima-
cies with houseboys and yardboys
than the Negro girl who of the
sexes, is usually the most bitter
about interracial affairs, especial
ly in the South, unless, of course.

Education for
Negroes Has
Better Outlook

OF special interest to teachers
is the information that the cost
Of any license issued by the State
Board of Education is now $500
Hitherto licenses have cost from
one to five dollars, according to
he type desired. Nearly all the
licenses issued to Little Rock
teachers are of the higher cost.
OF equal interest to the public
is the announcement that the
ALLEGATION of state public school
aid for l946-47 is the largest on
record. The State allocates its
aid on a strict per capita basis
So far as the State is concerned
this means that Negroes share
proportionately in these funds.
For example, Pulaski County,
with approximately rs per cent
Negroes, would give Negroes ap-
pgoximately Is per cent partici-
patton in such funds. Heretofore
local administration of these
funds has not been as generous
as the State ALLEGATION. There is
evidence, however, Of a growing
interest in a larger educational
program for Negroes throughout
many localities in the state, and
the'pac capita share of the Negro
in the present ALLEGATION prom
is2s to be larger than ever be-
fore.
