Lillian Smith, Co-Editor of THE
South Today" in a forceful adj
dress delivered at a public meeting
of the Eleventh Annual Conference
of the Association of Social Science
Teachers in Negro Schools, Friday
night, at Atlanta University.
Speaking on the subject: 1.-THE
Shape of Things To Come In HUI
man Relations Miss Smith gave
what she termed a psycho-analytic
picture of the white man. There
Is not much hope for the world
today, If the white race does not
learn to understand ITSELF" she
ssaid.
The noted writer explained that

doing there, the same thing he had
been doing in America namely
going around feeling superior, an
trying to put other people in their
place.
She raised four questions. What
makes the white race the kind of
race it is? What has caused it to
blunder as it has for the last three
hundred years? What makes white
people cause trouble everywhere
they go? Why have white people
been going around for generations
telling people TO stay in their place?
For the past 800 years, the white
race has been trying to do the inn
possible. Hold on to Jesus idea of
brotherhood ana slavery; demo-
cracy and white supremacy" Miss
Smith declared. She made it clear
that this has done strange things
to white culture, and has caused
many Illustrations.
PROJECTS GUILT ....
She referred to the South as the
region of great churches all at the
same time the region of white
supremacy, and explained that it
was historical accident that in
exploring the white man found
people with dark skin so they
could expolit them.
Since that time, the white man
has projected his guilt to other
races" she continued. That is
why they started talking about the
Negro problems, Miss Smith
pointed out. merely a matter of
blaming it on somebody else. She
also stated that numerous COM
mlttees have been appointed by
various governmental officials to
study the Negro problem, but she
had never heard of committee
being appointed to study the white
problem.
Miss Smith explained thas many
people are frightened about the
future because of the atomic bomb,
and emphasized the fact that the
same danger hangs oyer us in our
human relations. I'm splitting the
atom the scientist reached the
heart of science, but we have not
been able to reach the heart OF
man" she concluded.

Teachers College and president of
the Association presided over the
program and Miss Smith was in

NEGRO COUPLES FREED
The court affirmed the decision
of Dade Circuit Judge Stanley
Milledde freeing two Negro cou
pies arrested for moving into the
so-called white zone" west of 29th
Ave. on N. w. 51st st. just out
side the Brownsville" Negro sub
division.
The court found it "unneces-
sary" to rule on the validity OF
the legislative act, applying only
to Dade county, under which the
county commission passed the zon
ing ordinance segregating the two
races.
Such ruling, however, must be
made soon. Pending before the
high court is another appeal by
the county from a decision by
Judge Milledge. In suit filed
by five Negroes. Milledge enjoined
the county from refusing permits
for installation of septic tanks on
property they had acquired from
Wesley E. Garrison.
The second suit was a direct at
tack on the constitutionality of
the legislative act.
The county's appeal in the first
suit, which was turned down by
the supreme court was presented
by State Attorney Glenn G. Min

Perhaps the tallest big tree Is
dead, though it still stands. Its
height is 365 feet. If it were placed
beside a 25-story building, its top
would be above the top of the
building.
Sometimes, sequoias are cut down
for the sake of their lumber. A
person might suppose that axes
would be of little use for the cut
ting, but they are used from time
to time. Chip by chip, a hole can
be chopped in the side of the trunk.
If the choppers work long enough,
the tree will fall. Huge saws, how
ever, are commonly used to do the
cutting.
From lumber in one Of these giant
trees, 5000 fence posts were made.
That was enough to support a wire
fence is miles long. From the rest
of the lumber, $4,000 shingles were
made-enough to cover the roofs of
10 houses. Even that did not use
up all the wood-hundreds Of cords
Of flrewood were left over!
The redwoods of California are
cousins of the sequoias, and also
grow to giant size.
Redwoods and sequoias are very
old, but there is cypress tree in
Mexico which is believed to be
older than any of them. That
cypress has been estimated to have
an age Of at least 5000 years.
