town in Mississippi that has a
population of 5000 or more should
organize a Progressive Voters
League to encourage negro re
gistraton and to school negroes
in the art of voting (marking the
ballot, folding of same, etc.
AS stated above, 100000 negro
eS should have their names in
scribed on the registration books
of Mississippi. This is one SER
ious problem that faces every
unregistered negro hire in Miss
issippi today. We are qualified
and can accomplish the job if we
faithfully try. 1t is a prime duty
we all owe to ourselves and our
poSterity. 1t is the best and only
method we can use to speak or
vouch for our rights as citizens
Of the state. People who do not
use the ballot are partly enslaved,
and wherever there is slavery,
there is intolerance, prejudic:22l,
and race friction. We all, white
and black, hate to see such a
scene in our beloved state When
you get what the other person
wants, it brings you closer to
him, thereby making both work
for the god of each other. You
never have trouble spending your
money. You know? Because it
so happens the other person
wants it and can always use it..
Consequently, when negroes re-
gister in large number, those as
piring for office will be very
glad to secure their vote (thiS
fact is proven in the northern
States) and will become interest
ed i nour problems. When the
above happens, negroes will pro-
igresS along all lines as well as
other groups do.
Full cooperation in all fields
of endeavor should permeate our
actions during the year 1947. For
instance, here in Jackson, we have
approximately 240 negro cuisines
ses = a great start in the right
direction. We have according to
the latest city census, $4,000 ne
groes living here in Jackson. Ii
we were to patroniZe and put
into practice the Cooperative spirit,
these businesses would grow and
go forward developing into uarge
enterprises that would be a credit
to any group of people. Thus, we
see by exercising the cooperative
spirit by patronizing our own
business enterprises we can at
tain success in the business field.

It true tina negroes already
participate oSome extnt in state
activities, but their participation
is very limited. For example:
There should he approximately
100000 negro registered voters III
the state. This number would en-
able the negro to seek and receive
better consideration in his own
behalf, and at the same time,
put him in position to serve his
state more efficiently. Good gov
eminent requires that all the
people shoulud exercise their fran
chiSe in the selection of the states
leaders and all other matters o.
decision.
The year 1947, perhaps, holds
untold possibilities for each citi-
zen in Mississippi. What will be
your choice? Stand die by and
let the other fellow 60 forth and
reap the harvest? Or will you
awake to the fact that you are a
part of the mixture tina tmakes
up the above possibilities, and rea-
lie that to achieve any degree
of success, you must make a
new resolution = that the state
owes you whatevr it owes any
other citizen in the state, and
in order to be paid off, it will
necesSitate your being faithful to
very trust.
We must prepare ourselves for
the task that lies ahead. We must
fight for better school facilities,
fight for better opportunities to
work, seek to be more skilled in
our labors, and by all means,
fully prepare ourselves to be full
fledSed partners IN the citizenship
of the state. When | speak of full
citizenship, ] mean - the bed
rock of government. The people
make up the government. The
government embodies abe laws
made by the peopl for the pro-
lection Of the rights of its con-
stitutuents. Officials are elected
to execute these laws. Therefore,
all people have a God given right
to help elect these officials if they
(the people, are to be governed
by said officials. Ut has been
found true that wherever all the
people take part in the election
of their leaders better harmony
and understanding exist and a
higher degree of cooperation is
maintained = which means, OF
course, that all benefit alike.
During the year 1947, every

2 GRIDDERS ARE T0ppERS,
 SINGLE PLAY
ConerIy, Poole Take Lead for Classification as
 Individual Players
By GAIL FOWLER

NEW YORK, Oct 24.-lR-Michi- gan and Penn State may dominate football teams statistics this week
 but when it comes to individual prowess, the South and Southwest have a monopoly on top-ranking performers.
 For the first time in the mem ory of National Collegiate Athletic Bureau figure jugglers, gridders from one or the other of those two sections are to be found top ping each statistical classification for individuals
 Hard-working Charlie Coneliy and Barney Poole combined to give Mississippi three leaders for the week. Conerly leads the nation in total offense and forward passing and Poole, who couldn't catch the grades at Army, has been able to catch the passes, thanks to Con erly's accuracy.
 Conerly has made 728 yards in 159 plays, which gives him the workhorse title among the leaders, and he's completed 55 passes in 107 attempts, including eight touch down passes, to corner passing hon ors.
 Poole has caught 21 passes for 193 yards, five of them good for touchdowns. He shares touchdown distinction with Keith Hughes, an ex-tackle at Utah State, who nov ed out on the flank to pick off five siX-pointers also.
 Best pass-catching average is held by Jos Scott of the University of San Francisco. who snagged seven for 199 yards and three touchdowns against Marquette last week and has gained 304 yards on l2 recep- tions.
 Joe Geri of Georgia leads the puntsrs with a 46.4 yard average on his 12 spirals
 Lindy Berry of Texas Christian haS returned the most puntS (26) for the most yards C372) Walter Bolden of Richmond has the largest kickoff runback yardage, 241. Four players have intercepted five enemy passes. including Jack Jen- sen, California; and Gene Barrett. Portland University
 Doak Walker of Southern Meth odist leads the major team scorers to date with seven touchdowns and 10 extra points for a total of 52. Jim Brieske Of Michigan heads the extra point kickers, having converted 30 out of 32 after Michi- gans torrent of touchdowns.
 Two West Coast performers break into the top 10 on passes caught: Jim Connors of Portland Univer- sity picking up 14 for 15l yards to rank seventh and Joe Scott of San Francisco, 12 for BOA, in 10th. Jake Leicht, Oregon, has run back 20 punts for 271 yards, and ranks third in that department na- tionally.

DOPE ON FOOTBALL; TIPS GIVEN
By HAROLD CLAASSEN

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-tR-Frank Leahy, coach of the Notre Dame football team, has enjoyed the lux ury of fearing Iowa all the past sumner Tomorrow his players will show just how needless were the mentors worries.
 II tue grr@nun .S dry, the South Bend fracas may turn into an aer- al display between Johnny Lujack of Notre Dame and Iowas Al De- marco but the Irish's all-round strength should be too much for the Iowans who frittered away a 13-point lead last week and wound up in a 1913 deadlock with Ohio State.
 At least, that is the opinion of ,his forecaster whose record of 53 correct predictions and 13 misses last week is identical with his sea- sons average of BOA
 Coast Game
 Other predictions:
 Southern California California the honeymoon is over for Cali fcrnias new coach, Lynn tPappy) Waldorf, after five straight plea sant Saturday afternoons. Southern California is talent rich and should storm on from here to the coast title and the Rose Bowl task of try ing to stop the Big Nine champion
 Michigan Minnesota Michigan las averaged 55la points for every GO minutes Of action this year. The Wolverines won't do that well against their ancient enemy but they will count enough to win.
 Illinois Purdue: the Illini have had two extremely hard games the rast two Saturdays but should have enough left to edge out Purdue.
 Army Columbia
 Army Columbia a year ago Col umbia became the first all-civilian team to defeat Navy's football team and tomorrow makes a first-place pitch to end the Army string of victories. But it will not make the grade.

OLD ARM0RY BLDG. IN SEATTLE GETS
 SCCRCHED BY FIRE

SEATTLE, April 1l.--lR-A spec tacular three alarm fire heavily damaged the roof and interior of the old armory building ad- jacent to the Pike Place market early today.
 The castle-like structure, build in 1909, was used in part, as a storeroom for records of the State Unemployment Compensation De- paitment. Fire Chief William Fitzgerald said he was consider ing the possibility that the fire was set to destroy the records which now are Icing audited in an attempt to discover fraudulent compensation claims.
 The records, however, were not reached by the blaze.
 Fitzgerald estimated the fires damage at $l5,000.,
