I NTERRACIAL FELLOW
SHIP DINNER A GREAT
SUCCESS

CONTINUED from Page u
the Fellowship Dinner committee.
Several pictures were made OF
the group by Rev. Wedel for his
use in his unique phase of service.
There is no doubt that Christ
is the only panacea for the world S
ills. However, in order to realize
a cure not only for the ills of the
worlds, but the troubles in local
churches as well, Christ must be
intelligently appropriated. To &C.
complish ministers, christian wor-
kers, leader and christian followers
must study the Christ way OF life.
The greatest reproach brought on
Christ and the church today is re-
sultant from persons, who though
we'll schooled otherwise, persist
in showing the shortcomings Of
mere intellectualim by striking the
discordant key in matters pertain
ing to religion and the church.
The task OF providing adequate
education and training of people
for service in the field of religion
is of paramount Importance. To
this gigantic task, Mississippi Bap-
fist Seminary has set its hand.
With the cooperation of White
Baptits and under the guidance
of it's capable president, admins
trative staff, and qualified fac
ulty, sufficient progress has been
made to justify our saying that
within a comparatively short per-
iod of time the nation will recog-
nize Mississippi Baptist Seminary
one of its leading and indispen-
sable schools of theology.

State Board OF
Health Show Mark
Decrease In Death
OF Negro Mothers

Mississippi Negro mothers and
babies have a much better chance
to live than they had ten years
ago. In 1886 there were 27,065
live Negro births in this state, a
birth rate of 1877 per thousand,
and a maternal death rate of 8.3
per thousand live births - that
is, 225 Negro mothers died during
that year. In 1915 there were 80,
1913 Negro live births - rate OF
800 per thousand, a marked in
drease in the birth rate for nom
whites. Even with this increased
number of births, only Isl Negro
maternal deaths occurred, or a
death rate of so per thousand live
births. Better maternity care for
Negro mothers has resulted in
the saving Of rs mothers lives
during a year in which there was
"a 4oltbiderable increase in the
total number of births.
Similarly the number OF deaths
among infants under one year
dropped. In 1886 there were 1,778
deaths among Negro infants under
one year of age or a death rate Of
65.7 per thousand live births. Ten
years later in 1916 there were
only 1,349 Negro infant deaths
or a rate of 44.8 per thousand live
births. eDaths under one month
have shown this decrease: In 1886
the death rate among Negro infants
under one month of age was 30.2
per thousand and in 1916 the rate
was 24.2 per thousand.
While all these figures are still
too high, they nevertheless show
an encouraging trend toward a
steady reduction each year. Stats
tics for 1916 indicate an even
more encouraging situation; the
maternal death rate dropped from
so per thousand in 1916 to Al per
thousand, or a decrease of almost
20 per cent in one year. The total
number of deaths among Negro
mothers was 131 as contnrasted
with the preceding year when the
deaths were Isl.
Through its maternity confer
ences, conducted as part Of the pub
lie health program in Mississippi,
the State Board of Health has con-
tributed much toward offering live
saving services to Negro mothers
Annually, approximately 5000 ma

President Truman said today day
light saving Is a lot of hooey unless
it is carried out on a Nationwide
basis. His comment was evoked by
news conference question as to
whether he was going to ask for
daylight saving to save fuel.
After the jibe at daylight saving,
the President said time zones we're
established in this country to obtain
uniformity, because on occasions
there was IS minutes difference in
time between adjoining cities.
Now, he continued. with some
towns on daylight saving and others
on standard time there is an hours

hadn't given any thought to day
light saving, but that if it's going to
be applied, it should be on a national
basis
Hearings on daylight saving pro-
posals will be held before special
Senate subcommittee beginning
April 13. Two bills, one to establish
daylight saving in the summer and
the other to require standard time
all year around, are pending. Sep

LONDON, Mar. 25.-Prime Min
lister Attlee said today a possibility
of war justified Britains purge of
Communists from security posts in
the government.
Il might be accused of many
things, but I cannot be accused of
ever trusting the Communist Party"
Mr.. Attlee told the House of Com
mons. He spoke in reply to speech
by Communist Member Willie CAL
lacher.
There are secrets of defense" :"
the Prime Minister said. "As long
as there is possibility of war, we
must have defenses and those
secrets must be preserved"
The security order, announced
last week. also applies to Fascists.
1T is limited to excluding from
secret work those who cannot be
trusted-there will be no general
purge; no general witch hunt" Mr..
Attlee said.
Communists do not accept the
obligations of loyalty and of ordi-
nary moral dealings which enable
us to deal with one another in our
daily business" he added.
Mr.. GALLAGHER said the security
order was "instigated by American
multtmillionaires."
