Notion Of Negro
|nferiority Is
Perishing Priest

Denver. Colo.-"The notion of
Negro inferiority is perishing in
America. not so fast as could be
wished but surely perishing." ac-
cording to an editorial in the
REGISTER chain Of Catholic
newspapers. published here
Every one of the bases that
have been elaborated in support
of the theory that the Negro is Of
lower order than the White has
been tested and proved false, the
editorial aserts. Wherever Negro
groups are in some way inferior
to White groups this is due to en-
vironment and discrimination, not
TO biological disposition. ..

An Old Friend


BY Arena Weaver
| wonder if there'll be one more
friend
Who will serve as long and
well
AS dear Old Santa Claus had done
! love his name to tell.
OF course, he is not so very hand
some
For his back is bent like a bow
His toes are crimpled up by
frost
And his head is white as snow.
But | love the dear old fellow
And many others, too, | know
For he always does his duty
And knows when it is TIME to go
So let us raise some money
To buy some simple fact
To straighten out his crimplcd
toes
And straighten up his back,
At first / asked the CHI istnas
fairy
And this is what she said
Children, please don't you ne
elect
To dye that big gray head"

MY Dear Mother:
l am resuming this column in memory of your
slave Mother, Frances Sampson, and to she unsung
record of public service rendered by you in the try
ing years of family organization
The pen name under which l write represents
my admiration for your Mother, whose devout
faith led her to believe that there better day,
God has used many people and will so continue in
the process of Kingdom Building Both of you
must be regarded as instrumentates of God in the
progress of Negroes in Arkansas No estimate can
ever be given to the contributions made but they
must be recorded in the lives of and women
whom you have touched
For eleven years l have practiced the law in
Pine Bluff. The people have been most kind to
me- The progress which has been made might be
said to be terrific During the next decade I want
to give my services to an Era of Compensation.
The Era of Compensation
/ want to work with people and those things
which should have been done long ago 1t might
be well therefore to get forth here what I be-
leve to be the important things which should be
done in the and in this period of social change.
First, must organize the community's re-
sources for the about development of Negro
youths. In town the lack of recreadonal facil-
tiles is the most woefully neglected social problem
in the community All of these years Negro leaders
have idly by and permitted the young people to
find their facilities for developing themselves.
There have been swimming pools; parks
Fairgrounds which adequately take of the
needs of the growing children AS result
community is burdened with the problem of juven-
lie delinquency
Recently under the leadership of a young civic
minded Negro, Wiley A. Bfanton, have
swimming pool which will be ready for the youths
during the coming months of summer. A soft ball
playing field has been laid out 1t would have done
you good to the manifestation of interest on the
part of the teen-agers when the lights came on dur
ing the past summer. The Negro Park Commission
which Wiley headed gave very much needed
facility to use up the energy and physical urge of
Negro youths We will work in the years to come
for the successful development of Townsend Park.
Incidentally. the problem of recreational facili-
| ties is not only acute here In Pine Bluff 1t is
problem in Little Rock. and much So that be-
cause of the division of purpose and action the
part of Negro leaders in the Capital area it is much
discussed that all the citizens Of Arkansas are
expected to help build State Park, if it might
be of some benefit to little boy at Stamps who
would want to take dip during the hot summer
Well, in this Era of Compensation" am going to
give all that have to the development of ade-
Pine Bluff and throughout Arkansas. We should
have less need for the little Cummings Farm up at
Wrghtsville, if only we will get to work in 1949
Mama, l thought would have the time to write
you about some of the things which weigh heavi-

Fairfax High Stadium Created
BY Work of Pupi|sond Teachers

The Fairfax County School Board
has had all it could do in recent
years to obtain sufficient funds to
build new classrooms-much less set
aside enough money for such things
as football stadiums.
Sympathetic to this problem out
convinced that as large and modern
an institution as Fairfax High
School needed stadium, the stu
dents and faculty there decided to
take matters in their own hands.
In 1916 the students and their
teachers looked over the large field
provided for playground space by
the School Board. The first step,
they decided, was to inclose the field
with a wire fence It was neces-
tsary to borrow money for the fence,
and the loan still is being repaid
from athletic receipts.
The students resolved their sta
dunn would be developed as a me-
mortal to Fairfax High students who
served in World War II. This plan
helped the teen-agers solicit dona-
tions from the community for the
stadium. Their drive, which was
aided by contributions from the
Fairfax American Legion Post, the
Fairfax Rotary, the county baseball
league and the county police, sue
