1t is suggested that they be plant
ed among ferns whose foliage will
cover the bare spots.
The Painted sTrillium, one of
the most beautiful, is illustrated
in the accompanying Garden
Graph. After it has bloomed it
bears a scarlet fruit in late sum-
mer. The root of the trillium is
short and fairly thick, as illus
trated. The large flowered spe-
ciets, such as the Grandiflorum,
should be planted six to eight
inches deep. This type should be
planted in shade OR partial shade.
Best planting time is early
autumn. Cover over with a light
mulch of leaves for the first
winter.
No broad rules can be set down
to meet the requirements neces-
sary to the growth of wild flow

BY ROBERT DURR
For the NNPA News Service

On January 10 members of the
Alabama Press Association will
assemble in the office of the Bir-
mingham Weekly Review in Bir-
mingham Ala, to pool their think
ing and prepare a memorandum
covering the needs and desires of
the colored people Of Alabama, not
as Negroes, but as human beings
an dcitiens of the state.
Gevernor-elect James e. Folsom
has asked the State Press Associa-
ton to do this preparatory to a
conference with him after his in
auguartion on January 20. Incl
dentally, for the first time in the
history of the state, the Cover
nor-elec has stated that he expects
colored people 0 participate in the
inaugural parade.
The membership of the Alabama
Press Association is at present
100 per cent colored, but the racial
labelling was left off because any
regular newspaper man is eligi-
BILE for membership in it regard
less of race, creed or color. This

The New Year and the Old
BY A. l.. johnson

Many observers are predicting
that 1916 will be regarded as the
most significant year in our pro-
gres sinre 1890, the year of the
Constitutional Convention whilh
disfranlhised the Negro. Looking
backward over the years, we re-
view the efforts of our fathers to
overcome the handicaps of recon
struction days and to lay a sound
foundation for the future through
education and economic stability.
Coming over a way watered with
teras, says our Anthem" we now
stand on the threshold of a new
day for which our fathers sighed.
Sometimes we are wont to as.
scribe unto ourselves too much
credit for current successes. Deep
er reflection would show that we
stand on the shoulders of those
who have gone before. We, who
today speak boldly, do SO because
of parents who knew the soft an
swer. We strike back whose an
cestors turned the other cheek -
then the other cheek.
The headlines followed each 9th
er throughout the last year. News
papers were full of new offs grea

is indicative of the APA's stand,
as a whole, against racism Most
of the members newspapers edi-
torial stand is against racial la
being in names Of organizations.
They hold that such labelling pro-
notes the very things against
which we fight when We fight divi-
sion based on race.
The Alabama Press Association
has on it's agenda for it's meeting
such topics for discussion as the
ballot, civil liberties, labor, edu-
cati noeh, lath, housing, recreation,
veterans and the participation of
colored people in the making and
administration of the laws under
which they live. The latter means
that the APA membership will
probably strongly urge that de-
finite steps be taken toward in
tegration in spite Of the infamous
Boswell Amendment to the Con-
stitution of Alabama, which was
supposedly designed to precent
colored people from voting in
masses, but, as matter of fact,
it was urged and passed to keep
the states electorate small and
cnotrollable by minority of pro-
fessional politicians and white
supremaciscts.
The Alabama Press Associa-
ton, through the writer, has al
ready thanked Governor-elect Fol-
som for keeping his fortnight
promise in the early stages of his
campaign not to inject the So
called race issue into his campaign
for the high office to which he
was elected by a landslide.
He has been told that people
of goodwill were heartened by his
great victory and that good peo-
pie, without regard to race, creed,
or color, are praying that under
his administration more progress
will be made to the previous adj
ministration in the State of Ala
bama; that his success will serve
as stepping-stone to a higher

place for him in the affairs Of the
nation; that insofar as the APA
has been able to see, we see eye
to eye with him on vital issues,
and that he is wonderful man
with most wonderful opportun-
ity.
In the larger sense Of the word,
colored people have no opportun-
ity to participate in the making
and administration of the laws
under which they live, and with
out better educational opportun-
tiles and participation in the or
gained governmental setup of the
state as well as it's refense settup
hey are doomed to drawers of wa
ter and hewers of wood in this
and many other deep Southern
states, wherein they constitute
40 per cent of the total popula-
ton.
The incoming governor has been
requested and will be re-request-
ed, in view of the fact that col
ored people constitute the larg-
est voiceless minority in the state,
to establish Commission on
Minority Affairs to be composed
of colored and white men and wom-
en- of character and good will,
who believe in equality of oppor-
tunity for all citizens of Alabama.
The Commission of Minority At
fairs would set up area sub-com-
mittees through which facts
might be obtained on conditions
or questions affecting the well
fare of minority groups in order
to enable the State Commission
to make constructive recommends
tons for legislative or administra-
tive remedial action.
1t has been further suggested,
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1947-01-11

Lnat the proposed Commission have
as it's executive officer, a fair
minded colored person Of char
acter, one without prejudice, con-
5ecrated and dedicated to the
proposition of seeking greater op-
portunity for the development of
colored people within the state,
and their general Indignation into
the administration of evry setup
in the state having to do directly
or indirectly with their welfare;
that the executive officer have
clerical and other necessary help;
that he be the recognized inter-
prefer of the colored peoples
needs to the Governor and other
top officials of the state, and Of
fering to Negro citizens; and that
his expenses be paid out of state
funds.
For the first time in the history
of Alabama, opportunity will be
sought for appearance of some
outstanding and capable colored
representative before the lawmak-
ing body of the state in order
that the all-white legislature may
know what the colored people of
Alabama really want and why.
Montgomery, the capital of Ala
bama, is the home of the Con-
federacy, The old saying goes
that the best place to find some
thing you have lost is where you
lost it. If Alabama goes along
with its colored people in the
manner here suggested, it will
we'll represent the beginning of
the finding of something colored
people lost in the dark days fol-
lowing emancipation and the es-
Enlistment of politictl and eco
nomic equality.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1947-01-11

import Most of it was in some
way the outgrowth of a determined
citizenry which is awakening to
new opportunities and which is
more aggressive in seeking a place
in the sun.
A new type of leadership Is de-
veloping which seeks taste Of
heaven on earth and in our time,
rather than wait for the sweet
bye and bye. 1t is enlightening
to hear what the people say. John
Jones on the street, Sally Smith
at the store, and Bill Brown on
the farm -. all are ready for a
change. In 1886 the traveller
could find it expressed on every
hand = people ready for the new
leadership.
The efofrts to secure qualified
electors met with unexpected re-
suits; though small, who could
have expected half as much? High
lights, also, are the fight of white
woman editor to get at the truth
in a state lynching case (she was
promptly reprimanded by the
coutt;) the liberal editorials of
Holding Carter, Greenville editor;
the great Bilbo Breakdown when he
renied that he had intended to
intimidate Negroes. The latter
event alone was worth the price
of a dozen insults.
Tomorrow offers the promise of
a new day of hope and fulfillment.
