 Claude Buddy" Young, Hi nois football and track star s decision to return to school last week was a wise one in our opinion. There will still be time to capitalize on athletic ability after learning something to insure a decent living when the refexes no longer respond.
 Eddie Tolan and Jesse Owens made the mistake of leaving college to realize something on athletic regulations only to end up with attempts at various enterprises in an effort to earn a comfortable living.
 Since the world becomes more technical each, day it would set a bad example for our youth to think that athletic reputa- tions can carry one through life. Young's decision to re- turn to school may set many a youngster with athletic ability on the right track.
 Josh Gibson's passing away will be felt by many for a long time to come. The hard hitting catcher who was fami- liar to baseball fans in most of the tropical countries as well as America was rated along with the all time great Negro dia- mond stars such as Cum Posey, Joe Billiard, Satchell Page, and Willie Foster.
 Gibson rarely hit under 40 homers a season and a few times during his sixteen years of playing hit 80 in a season.
 His lifetime batting average was well over .340 and only last year he led the Negro Ma tional League with $50 aver age. Except for the fact that his skin was dark, Gibson with his ability as a player and a gentleman might have become a candidate for baseball $ Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, NY. We were privileged in 1881 to see Gibson hit two homers to

The story of a day that
no American can forget

1T is a terrible kind of cold that can settle
Il over this part of the country on Decem-
Der morning. The sun is weak thing that
you can barely make out behind the heavy
gray sky. The sparrows are nested and the
small ground animals are holed in. The wind
doesn't blow; it moves lightly with an edge
like razor. And on Sunday morning all this
is worse 1t is so still day. The cold grips
more tightly and there is no one driving down
the road to remind you that life has not
stopped altogether.
1T WAS this kind of morning when the
news came, and a certain group of people
received it strangely. They were not shocked
because nothing shocks them any more They
were not depressed, for their day was already
as cherries as day can be. They were not
afraid, and others might have said this was
because they had 50 little to lose Nothing
but their small pieces of land. and their small
frame houses with barren yards outside, and
inside plain chairs and beds and linoleum rugs

of Carrollton, Georgia for his et-
forts in successfully hindering a
lynching.
The letter reads as follows.
Dear Sir:-The NAACP, Mari
copa County, Arizona Branch,
Phoenix, takes this method to ex-
press to you its sincere apprecla-
ton for the brave stand which
you took against mob who sought
to take the law in it's own hands,
thereby attempting to deprive an
accused Negro of rights guaranteed
him under athe Constitution of the
United States of America.
We sincerely feel that if every
State where mob violence has oc-
cured had have had such men as
you in charge of law enforcement,
our country would be clear of the
many disgraces of lynchings and
murders.
We hope your spirit and desire
to see all men dealt with accord
ing to law, finally, will permeate
the thinking of others who may be
placed in such a responsible posi-
tion as the one to which you have
been chosen. May the richest bles-
sing of God crown your every eff
fort to uphold the high honors and
dignity of your office.

Shifts 10 Oil Pledged
After Fall Coal Strike
Slow 10 MateriaIize
Rx .hs Associaied Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 13.-The flight
from COAL" which many industries
and private citizens said they would
undertake after the big coal strike
last November, has been slow to
materiahze-and oil men are glad.
Some conversion has taken place.
Philadelphia Electric changed over
two of its six plants to oil. Penn
sylvania Railroad is replacing a
number of coal-burning locomotives
with Diesel engines. Here and there
a laundry, hotel or apartment build
ing has made the switch.
Research Institute of America,
Inc, says there is a trend to oil
in tidewater cities and in the West.
But the sum total conversion to
date is so inf1nitesimal as to repre-
sent probably less than per cent
Of total coal produced for the en-
ergy requirements of industry.
Cost the Big Factor.
Resentment against John L. Lewis
or coal miners because Of hard
ships imposed by the strike influ-
enced many industries to consider
conversion, but the economic real
ism that coal is a cheaper fuel than
oil or gas in many sections Of the
country, in a majority Of instances
is expected to be a decisive factor.
While talk of an industry-wide
shift to oil was at, a peak last fall
the implication was that Goals loss
would be oils gain, and oil men
would welcome and profit by the
change. ...
Many oil men hold different
view, pointing out that whereas
an abundance of heavy oil is avail
able now, it might be less plentiful
10 years from now.
A. E. Coburn, editor of Fuel Oil
and Oil Heat magazine, explained
it this way: Each year modern
catalytic refining processes remove
more and more component parts, or
fractions from crude, leaving less
and less residual, or heavy oil.
