experience in my childhood may
help to explain.
| steed with my father, a mail
carrier, and watched Negroes
male and female killed by mobs
in the street of Atlanta. The
next night the mob, perhaps 5000
strong, entered the Negro section
near our neat, modest home, in
which my parents, raised seven
children.
My father was deeply religious,
opposed to violence. Never before
had there been guns in our house
but now at the insistence of
friends, we were armed.
AS we watcher the mob go by,
their distorted faces weird in the
light of torches-faces made gro
tesque and ugly by hate = my
father said, Don't shoot until
the first man puts his feet on
the lawn. Then don't miss"
In the Pickering light the mob
swayed, paused and began to flow
toward us.
In that instant there opened
I'D within me a great awareness;

colored, human being with an
invisible fermentation which mark
ed me a person to be hunted
abused, disseminated against, kept
in poverty and ignorance in order
that those whose skin was white
would have readily at hand a
proof of their superiority.
1t made no difference how In
telligent or talented / might be
or how virtuously l lived.
The mob moved toward the
lawn. | tried to aim. my gun,
wondering what it would feel like
to kill man. Suddenly these was
volley of shots. The mob hest
tated. stopped.
Some friends of my fathers
had FABRICATED themselves in a
building just below our house. 1t
was they who had fired. The
mob retreated up the street.
In the quiet that followed, a
tension different from anything

hatred which had flared before

I was glad to be of race that
had not fully awakened and which
therefore still had the opportunity
to write a record of virtue.

of Zion, soon after he estab-
lished the community at the
turn of the century. 1t was
originally known as "Elijah
Hospice," as it fronted on Eli
jah Avenue (Sheridan Road).

The building is considered
to be the largest frame struc-
ture in the United States, with
Sarasota Springs at French
Lick, Indiana, being the second
to it in size. There are 400
rooms in the elongated three
story frame edifice with an
extra floor being added in
of it's three towers). There
are $50 persons regularly re-
siding in the hotel besides the
usual number of transients,
who remain for short periods
of time.
The rambling structure was
constructed and patterned af-
ter European architecture, as
was also the Administration
Building across the street.
Many visitors, including STU
dents of architecture, have
stopped to study the building
because of it's unique appear
ance, and they have become in
trigued by it.

SELECTIVE SERVICE
 SHOWS ALASKA'S GROWTH

JUNEAU - Another evidence o Alaska's rapid population growth according to the Alaska Develop ment Board. is the number of Sel ecSFe Service registrants this yea as compared with registration und CT the similar act which was in effect from 1941 to 1947.
 According to information furn ished to the Development Board b John L. Mccormick, Territoria Director of the Selective SerYic System, the registration in flask to October of this year under the present Selective Service Act showed a. total of 4,421 in the Is to 25 age group. Only 1,738 in this same age group registered ir Alaska from January, I941 u April, 1947.
 The requirements and exemp tioH were exactly the same un der the old and new acts, accord ing to Mccormick, but a relatively greater number probably were ex empted from registration during the war years because they wer already in the armed services.

PILOT HAS COMMUTE
 FIGHT WITH FLYING DIS

FARGO - A National Guard fighter pilot told a story of a re- cent S0-minute encounter with mysterious flying object over thi North Dakota city in the darkness
 and his account was supported by two control tower operators and another flyer
 In a signed statement rof air force intelligence, the pilot. Lieut. George German of the 17Sth Fighter Squadron, North Dakota Air National Guard, claimed h chased and did aerial maneuvers with a lighted disk-like objec which outran and out-maneuyere him.
 Watching him and the object with binoculars were Lloyd Jen- son and H. E. Johnson, both of Fargo. control tower operators Hector Airport here. Both said statements that no other aifcraf had reported to the tower besides Germans F-51 figktor and a cup whose pilot. pr. A. E. Cannon of Fargo, also reported watching Cor man and the object dogfight a. round Fargo.
 German said he first caugh sight of the lighted object be- tween his ship and the city lights at about 4,50O feet. The F-51 pilot said he attempted to intercept the object, making head on passes, but that it out-turned and out-ran him for nearly a hal hour until he lost it at 17,000. feet. German said his speed at various times throughout the engagement ranged from 27O to 400 miles pc hour
 Air force headquarters in Wash ington said it had no record onI the Fargo incident, and no explan-' ation for such an occurrence.

ized by Petersburg and Wrangell to it's fullest extent that they are having extreme financial difficult ties?
 One of the main reasons for my writing this letter comes from the realization that I, myself re- quest many services from the company such as calling them up and asking where such and such a boat is, if they have seen such and such a party at some place, would they drop a note off for me, or would they call some other town on the radio. They have never charged me for such ser vices and I can only believe that other people in this area have re- ceived similar services. Now it particularly strikes me that we are demanding services of our io cal airline but have been giving our business to the absentee op- ,arators.
 l believe that anything that is good for Petersburg is good for me but I do not believe that the present conditions surrounding ou local airines is good for them, I cannot help but think that if I want air service quickly I don't want to have to call an airp1ane from some otheer town to serve me.
 As for myself l certainly am in the future going to be more conscious of helping a local op- eration than l have been in the past.

The following communication ap peared in the Petersburg Press last week and because it pertains to Wrangell and a locally owned business it is reprinted here.
 &#& &&
 Dear Editor:
 l am taking this opportunity to write a letter to let you and the people of Petersburg know of some of the things that have been going on in our air transportation business here at Petersburg and which has been directly affecting our local Alaska Island Airlines.
 At the last Chamber of Con- merce meeting you will remember quite a discussion took place and it somewhat whetted my curiosity to find out more of what was happening here at Petersburg that was so adversely affecting our To- cal company.
 Did you know that the average Petersburg resident believes that the only way he can get a Pan American connection, Petersburg Seattle, is to get a ticket through either of the two sompetatiye con- panies that are operating on mail franchises through Petersburg an Wrangell. Did you also know that he local operating company charges the exact fares of the competatiye companies and that again the average Petersburg resi- dent does not know this, thinking when he calls the local airlines that he has to pay a charter or has to have group of passengers? This is absolutely not the case.
 The local line can secure reser vations through other airlines an regularly does so. Did you know that the local company has avail able fl seats at any time by res ervation out of Petersburg in any direction? Did you also know tha the payroll of the local airline for the past year was s30,O00 and that, of course the bulk of this money was spent in Petersburg? Did you know that due to the fact that the airline is not being util-
