gang OF teen-agerS VINO had turn
ed out for the dance. Many cou-
pies and groups were milling
around in the lobby.
Some fella was really beatin'
out the boogie on the
lobby piano, and crowding
around were Betty Shipp, Bar
bara Carter, Bobby Clemmons,
J. D. Causey, Jack Shytle, and
many others.
I soon found myself working
my way over a crowded dance
floor where we encountered Beth
Harriss and Liston Mills who
were talking with Virginia Gregg
and Buster Rose; and I noticed
Maude Noe passing by with her
date.
Among the dancers I recogniz-
ed Marilyn Costello and Junie
Huband, Betsey Harris and JIM
ME Browne, Carolyn Hester and
Irl Sell, Betty Hill and Billy Ber-
ryhill.
Quite naturally the stays fill
ed a great portion of the dance
floor and some of the boys stand
ing around and breaking were
Bradford Cantwell, Leonard Col
ley, Lynn Kirk, Bobby Wilson,
Maurice Moore, Eddie Bell,
Richard Galphin, Albert Rhodes,
Ray Haas and Bobby Hass, and
Marty Millar and Ralph Millar,
and Ed Jewell.
During the evening I spied the
new club president, Ed Allard
dancing, and newly-elected sec
rotary of the club, Beth May
nard who was dancing with
Deck Jordan.
AS the crowd of dancers NOV
ed towards the door, I saw Shir-
lene Conrad and Bill Garrabrant
leaving as we're Hester Freeman
and Randy Mc1ver. On the way
out I recognized John Sloan, H.
B. Glover, Clarence, Fales, Da-
vid Anderson, Adelaide Wilson,
and several of the couples that
l had seer at the movies.
IT'S ALL OVER NOW
Whoops! Why, looka here!
Just enough space left to fill this
'~a-a-s-s-t pillar And to say that
10 more will tattles of the teen
ayers flow from this pen The
'nk-well is dry, the typewriter
ribbon is worn thin from con-
slant pecking, and the last sheet
of the note pad has been Tipped
back; so l can 60 no further.
It seems just a short time ago
that I sat down to write my first
column. It's gonna seem strange
going to a party or a dance
and not remembering who was
with whom where and when, or
seeing somebody leave or re-
turn without dashing it down on
the note pad. But tomor-
row morning, off I must go in
a big mad dash for Greensboro
to face a year at college.
Gang, every one of you Il
won't forget doing this wee bit
of reporting. Beth Harriss is to
take over. Yet - to Beth I be-
queath these acquired be-
longings; two pillars a week, a

that she won't need to delve

From one Harriss to another

age tattler. Best wishes, gal, and

Except. I'm gonna miss you
all, but just the same, though it
be Thanksgiving, Christmas,

summer, I'll be seeing you

SENIOR CLASS MINUS
Not only the class of last year
has been scatterd with more
and more people leaving each
dqy f2r various destinations, but
also members of the new senior
class have departed for schools
elsewhere, as they choose to ex-
nerjence a year Of high school
awav from home.
Last Monday found two of the
bometowners journeying over
thp countryside as. they
held their respective destinations
in mind. Glasgow Hicks was on
his way to Darlington Military
academy as he rolled southwark
On the hurrylng train. Raymond
Holland accompanied him part
Of the way, and then he con-
tinued his trip to Tennessee.
RAYMOND was heading for Nc
Callie Military Institute in Chat
tanooga, where he began his sec
ond year there this past week.
He is to graduate in June.
As the schools all over the
country recognized an awaken

Riverside Military Academy
looks to Wilmington once again
for thr return of one Of its stu
dents. So Herman Hayden jour-
nev south to Gainesville, Geor-
gia, to spend the first months.
Later in the year, the students
transfer to the academy grounds
a hollywood, Florida, following
a regular schedule.
Trips with the family often
mecede the arrival of a student
at school - sometimes it might
be the case of shopping in the
larger cities, or the trip serves
as Just a final wind-up for the
summer season. Nevertheless,
often it is true that sitseeing
foregoes the travelling to
the chosen school. Such is the
case with Billy Hill, who jour-
neyed north with his family be-
fore entering Valley Forge Mill
tary Academy at Wayne, Penn
S@ylvania this past week. Billy
is another of the hometowners
who will finish high school this
next spring away from home.
Also heading north to attend
chosen schools are two more OF
the boys from Wilmington. About
d week from Wednesday
Gilchrist Hill will set out for
PottstoWn, Pennsylvania, for
the third year.
Leaving about two weeks
from today for school will be
Percy Smith, who will also head
to PottstoWn to enter the Hill

Ga. Sets House Nm Legal Order

Atlanta, Ga.-The Georgia Supreme Court by a vote of 5 to ? settled once and for all the question of who was entitled to be the legal Governor of the state for the unexpired term of the late Eugene Talmadge.
 This decision means that all of the legislation thus far enacted must either be signed or vetoed by Governor M. T. Thompson. Thic means that the new Governor is immedi- ately faced with the necessity of registering his opinion on the white primary bill, which is a big bone of contention throughout the state.
 Another vital issue is what instructions the Governor in- tends to pass on to the office of the Attorney General about the revocation of corporate char ters of the Klan and the Col umbians.

Naumburg Musical Foundation. Miss Carlson was chose from ITO applicants in the 23rd competition which sponsors the winner in me tropolitan debut at Town Hall the following year.
 Miss Carlson has been solo, ist with the Gordon String Quartet and has played before the musical club of Hartford. She will assist at the Julliard School of Music as a piano in structor at the summer ses- sion.
 This adds another to long string of professional triumphs by pupils of MT. Lawson.
Hartford chronicle., 1947-04-12

Right after the decision of the State Supreme Court was made public the Georgia Sen ate rescinded confirmation of all the Talmadge appointees, declaring it had acted uder a disapprehension of the law.
 Herman Talmadge relin- quished his occupancy of the Governors quarters promptly upon hearing the decision. His brief remarks were: "Get our stuff together now and we'll move out this afternoon. The court of last resort is the peo- pie of Georgia. This case will be taken to the court of last resort
 The colored population thru out the state is happy about the courts decision but as they speak about Gov. Thompson, they do so with their tongues in their cheeks because they have not forgotten that Gov. Thompson was Talmadge, ST. s running mate.

U. Mo. Publication Banned by Authorities

Columbia, Mo.-More and more these days, young white men and women at Colleges and Universities with a southern tradition, are rising up with convictions that are no com patable with the thinking of , their predecessors.
 This town got the full inn lpact of such a development the other day when an article that had been written by a CT student Jon Moon resulted in the Winter issue of Tower Time, University of Missouri lpaper, being suspended. Jack Schwartz the editor refused to kill Moons article and the printers refused to go to press.
 The following excerpts from Moons article explain the crux of the difficulties.
 Subsequently, the editorial staff had the issue mimeograp- he'd and distributed on the campus and thoughout the state.
 Within your generation, colored students will be en- rolled at. the University of Missouri. They will not hide or isolate themselves: They will demand equality in social affairs and will win it in scholarship and athletics.
 They will perhaps be over
 aggressive and perhaps in sufferable in their new found freedom. But when they be- lieve and feel their freedom is permanent, they will settle down to the normal routine of school life. The University must en- gage outstanding colored edu- cators for the teaching staff, and see that the rights of Icolored students are protected in the local community"
 His article ran in this vein throughout and shocked so many natives that printers who ordinarily bid for Univer- lsity work, ran from the job like it was the plague.

INFLUX OF lLLEGITIMATES CAUSING NATIONAL CONCERN
5000 CT BABIES TO BE SHIPPED TO AMERICA


 The most recent news about illigitimate war children IS the fact that 5000 babies of Negro American troops in England are to be shipped to America in the next nine months. That these children are to be offerer for adoptoion in various collor- led families.
 This is not a part of a gen eral program to ship to Amer |ica all of the illegitirnate children of American soldiers in England, for at the peak there were hardly more than 100000 Negro soldiers in Eng land, while there were roughly |2,OOO,OOO white soldiers would e a silly have approximated number of the white American soldiers got married to the English girl, nowhere near the number married that came home and left them.
 The Negro soldier on the other hand was in a very diff cult plight. For in the first instance no CT could get mar ried without the consent of his Commanding Officer. A n d rare indeed were the COS that would endorse such legality even though both parties and the parents of the girl involved were willing.
 So now America is about to harvest a crop of 5000 ill., egitimate babies, goodly portion of whom would never lhave been in this plight ex- Icept for the assinine attitude lof the American command. They did not want this normal relationship to occur but they could not prevent it, but they could have prevented placing a lifetime stigma on many of these children.
 The prime purpose of course was to maintain the hallucina- ton of racial purety, but failing in that they could at feast cling to the hope of branding these children as outcasts which they did.

ference, calling for support of an anti-lyhching bill abolition of the poll tax, continuation of rent control and support of David E. Lilenthal's nomina- ton as head of the Atomic Energy Commission.
 The group supported the Taft-Wagner-Ellender housing bill, and urged admission of Negro veterans to housing pro- ljects, Gin accordance with their needs and numbers" and also gave wholehearted support to the adoption of FEPC legis-
 lation and in Connecticut to the Ward-Gillie bill.
 The Conference lauded Con gress for its stand against seating Senator Theodore Bill bo, and called on Negro vet

Offutt told an audience of New England National Association for the Advancement of Co1ore d People delegates and guests Sunday in the Greenwich High School auditorium. Mir. Offutt is the newly appointed church secretary of the NAACP and asserted that the victories of war in Europe and the Pacific are yet to be consummated, for "V-A day.
 i MT. Offutt's militant add ress to public mass meeting winding up the Regional Con- ference of Y branch chapters of the NAACP hit at the "Bilbos, who are willing to ldo the same things as those whom we ust fought. The only difference between Bilbo and Rankin and those in Germany is their location".
 | Turning to what he termed "thin ice," MT. Offutt declared that the governments plan to spend millions in fighting communist infiltrationat home land abroad would be precluded as soon as "every man can get "a job, every child an educa- tion, and homes can be built in peace in America.
 l When that happens" he asserted, the government won't ''have to spend $10O to keep communism out. 'T wish the government would do this. If they spend 45O millions in keeping communism out Of foreign countries why don't they spend the same amount to deal with the Fascists in the North, South, East and Vest" Turning to the F.B.I. MT. Offutt asserted that "they can go anywhere in Europe or the rest of the world and find "a man they want. But they Istill can't find the people who ishot down four Negroes in a Georgia county where every one knows everybody else's life history.'
 "Pearl Harbor." he said, "was called a stab inthe back. Well, some of those hate mongers who were high up in the government then were so anxious to keep their foot on the Negro $ neck thay had their backs turned toward the Japs. That's how it was a stab in the back"
 The speaker called for stren- gth in the NAACP in reaching its objectives, "for people are tired and disgusted with would-be leaders. ," He asked for cooperation between the organization and the churches. Esynagogues, and "all ,organiza- tions for good in the com lmunity.' Otherwise, he said
