The Problems
Of 1947 -.
BY A. J. Noel

AS the new year of 1947 makes
its advent upon the pages of time,
the whole world faces anew, pro-
blems of no small degree for vast
consideration. While the greatest
world war ever known in history
with all its devastation and des-
truction of life, property, and etc.;
is slowly sinking into history,
we realize that nations and minor
tiles all over the world are try
ing to readjust themselves to the
problems of reconversiOn and
peace. Not only that, but people
every where have come to the
full realization that war can best
be defined in the famous lang
uage of General Sherman, who, |
believe on one occasion said -
"War is he'll" May / suggest fur
Their that the atomic bomb has
added its deadly possibilities to
the situation. Fifty or more ma
lions of the world have organized
themselves into world organlZa-
ton for the express purpose OF
preventing future wars. 10 out
law future wars, it must be re-
membered that there are many
major problems that must neces-
sarily be solved. People every
where that have been denied
their full rights as citizens are
demanding new deal. These de
! mands must be considered and
adjusted by this powerful world
organization. May repeat again,
mankind everywhere is demand
ne the four Freedoms as express
ed in the "Atlantic Charter" May
we come to this fact then, that
in dealing with the major prob
lens of 1947, whether they be
international, national, state, or
local communities due consid-
Grafton of the Golden Rule" must
play a prominent part in the
transaction. Also the famed state
ment "That all men are createc
equal an dendowed with certain
inalienable rights, among them
being liberty, life, and the pur-
suits of happiness must, also, be
observed. Now then, unless peo-
pie everywhere are free, treated
dual undr the law, and ENJOY
full citizenship, wars will continue
to be one of the future problems
of mankind.

ippi in pa.t, see the hand writing
on the wall. They fully realize
that for the State of Mississippi
to bloom with peace, contentment
and prosperity, it must elevate
itself to the level of other states
in these respects. | say again, the
White people in part, fully realize
that in order to achieve the above
end, all people of Mississippi, re
gardless of race, color, or pre-
vious conditions OIL servitude,
must be given equal rights and
opportunities in the fields of edu-
cation and labor, in the courts
of the state, and at the ballot box,
thereby causing all to work to-
gether harmoniouslyq for the bet
torment of the state in which we
all I've and love.
Today the Negro, as well as
the White man i mississippi, now
stands at the crossroads ofhis
destiny. The people of the world
are troubled as never befroe.
They are discussing the major
problems that confront them.
They are praying, trying to reach
the sublime goal that God would
have them reach - namely peace,
contentment, and goodwill to-
ward all mankind. AS negroes
here in Mississippi, we are Strugg-
ling and praying for peace of
mind, contentment of spirit and
all the rights of full citizenship.
Again | say that the day has
arrived when we must stand up as
citizens and work out our own
salvation. Every other nation or
group is tackling the job. Why
can we not do likewise? We
should remember that as long as

E d. Q RIAL

Since it is true that everywhere
mankind exists, people are StruS
Cling to attain all the God 7given
rights which they are entitled to,
thsi brings to my mind this inn
portant subject for consideration
The Problems that faces ne
groes here in Mississippi during the
year of 1947. Are we not confront
ed with the following problems
- better educational opportuni-
ties, better labor conditions that
includes higher salary scales, an
equal chance to work, and last
but not the least, a right to exer-
else orr franchise in all elections?
The question which should come
to every negro in Mississippi is
this - Shall we go forward fac
ing these above problems with
courage and firm determina-
ton to succeed? If you will per-
nit me to say - my answer is
Eyes. Please bear in mind that
all persons have the right to
stand up as men and women and
fight for all rigts guaranteed to
them by the Constitution of the
United States and the Constitu-
ton of the state of Mississippi.
The laws Of the State and the
United Staten are on ourside.
Why wait? We have been waiting
over so years for these rights.
Have they come? My answer is
mo-. REPRESENTATION is the thief
of time. AS a citizen is tnot a
fact that we measure up along all
lines of progress as well as any
other group of citizens? We are
law abiding citizens, We pay tax
es, we readily answer the bu9le
call of war and to all other du--
ties required of a citizen to serve
his country orr state. ALI this
being true = then, why not stand
up, march forward, and claim our
full rights as American citizens?

The Deep South
Speaks 49,.
By Robert Durr
For the NNPA News Service

Racists have continually harp
ed upon the fact that colored
people do not assume and execute
civic responsibilities on a par
with White people. 1t is important
thaot colored grasp every oppor-
tunity to assume and carry out
their civic responsibilities. 1t,
therefore, is heartening to learn
that Phi Delta Kappa Sorority
in cooperation with the Fedora
ton og Women's Clubs, is this
year sponsoring the March OF
Dimes" as regional project.
Soror Larnie Williams, South
ern Regional director, says:
"No infantile paralysis patient
shall go without the best avail
able medical care for lack of
funds, regardless of age, race,
creed, or color"
With this pledge from the Ma
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis as our guaranty, and
keen awareness of the fundamen-
tai right to bear the responsibility
as well as share the benefits from
community projects which con-
tribute to the solution of persls-
tent problems of life, colored peo-
pie everywhere welcome this OPP
oprtunity to join in the March
of Dimes campaign.
This is being one of the move
ments about which SO little is
known generally, our first con-
Germ is that of making available
to all of the peopl answers to
such question as these:
1. What is the program of the
National Foundation for 1nfan-
tile Paralysis?
2. How are the campaigns direc-
ted?
3. Do colored people receive
any service from the Foundation?
4. Have colered people contri-
buted to the program as fully as
they are capable? If not, why
not?
Let us begin our attempt to an
swer these questions by stating
that the 1947 campaign is the
first which colored people in
some sections have had an OPP
portunity to participate as an
integrated, organized unit in the
drive. The Foundation leaders are
to be commended for their pro
cedure in the promotion of all
of such a project, for certainly
the health of all the citizens is
the concern of all of the citizns.
The National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis was founded
in 1898 by the late Franklin De-
lano Roosevelt to 'slead, direct,
and unity" the fight against polio
and is dedicated to the battle
until science wipes out the dis
ease as a threat to humanity.
The National Foundation is
supported by funds raised during
the Annual March of Dimes Cam
paingns held each year in late
January and by the March of
Dimes only. The 1947 March of
Dimes will be held from January
Is to 80.
The National Foundation func-
tons mainly through its local
chapters, organized by counties
throughout the United States.
Each county chapter keeps half
of the March of Dimes money it
raises to pay for transportation,
disqualification, treatment and the
medical care of any person in the
county stricken with the disease,
regardless of age, color, creed or
race.

Colored patients receive treat
ment in hospitals located in every
state in the nation. The National
Foundation allotted 100000 in
1916 to the Tuskegee Institute
Infantile Paralysis Center.
Colored hospitals in Tennessee,
Florida, Illinois, and Missouri
have received appropriations from
the National Foundation to equip
special services related to in
fantile paralysis. Tuskegee Insti-
tute has received $433,236.69 for
the building and equipping of the
TuSkegee Infantile Paralysis Cen
ter.
The Tuskegee center was re-
cognized in 1899 when the Nation
al Foundation made its first grant
to Tuskegee after the need for
such an institution became APP
parent. There was no scientific
evidence that colored people were
lysiS as members of other races.
No where ha daccurate statistics
been compiled or clinical studies
made to determine whether the
disease attacked all races similar
ly. Furthermore, there was shor-
tage of trained colored medical
specialists. The center offered at
least a beginning to the solution
of these problems.
The Tuskegee Center was es-
tablSihed as an after-care center,
not as a hospital for commune
cable diseases into which infan-
tile paralysis patients tradition
ally go for the first weeks of
their illness. But the year the CEN
ter opened, an epidemic of infan
tile paralysis broke out n Ala
bama. 1t wa snecesary to accom-
modate victimsh without delay,
and even to add six beds to the
twenty-four that had been in the
capacity of the unit.
The daily visible Improvement
in those patients brought into the
hospital in the early stages of
the disease was such that the cry
from doctors and nurses was "If
we could only always get them
early" Though still primarily a
hospital for after-care, the center
admits enough nearby cases in the
acute stage to insure that pro-
fesional workers going out from
Tuskegee will have a wide know
ledge of early technique in mini
MIXING crppling.
One huodred and one persons,
chiefly children, hospitalized at
the center in four years, seem pitt
fully few in a nation which, in
the one year of 1914, saw more
than 10000 new cases of infantile
paralysis. The significance of the
101, however, does not lie in their
number. Other facts must be con-
sidered.
