Knoxville, Tenn. - CAMP -
Segregation took a setback here
last week when the White Star
Lines bus company declined to
prosecute two Negro women who
refused to sit in the back seats
of one of its buses when ordered
to do so by the driver. The COM

paid $l4 court costs.
The case was brought up or
iginally from an incident last May
when Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H. Harper,
teachers at Austin High, were
placed under arrest by the driver.
They had refused his order to sit
in the back seat over the wheels
of the bus.

Seek Georgia Governors
Aid in Apprehension of
Men Numbering Voter

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-M. E.
Thompson, outgoing Governor of
Georgia, has given assurance of
his Willingness to do everything
| can, as long as | am Chief Exc
Cutive, to see that those violating
the law of this state are brought
to justice"
The Governors position was
expressed in a letter to Thurgood
Marshall, NAACP Special Coun-
sci, who had protested the cleo
ton day Staying of Isiah Nixon,
28year-Old Negro of Mt. Vernon,
who had voted in the recent
Georgia Democratic primary des-
pIte the threats and warnings of
white persons. Two white men,
brothers, NJ. A. and Johnnie John
son, were arrested and charged
with the murder.
1t was his understanding, Gov
ernor Thompson said in his letter
to Mr. Marshall, that the case
was being pushed vigorously by
the prosecuting authorities in the
judicial circuit where the alleged
murder occurred" The Staying
grew out of the primary election
in which Governor Thompson
was defeated for denomination
by Herman Talmadge.

VIVA FAIR ASSOCIATION ELECTS OFFICERS

The first meeting of the new board of directors of the North western Alaska Fair Assn, was held last evening in Polets Store with the following elected as off cers for the coming season: Elmo Miller of the U. s. Reindeer Serv- ice, president; Sam Mogg, presi- dent of the Alaska Native Broth erhood, vice-pres.; A. Polet secre- tary, and Mrs. Ole Hay treasurer.
 A general discussion followed the election concerning the date of the Fair for l948. Due to the crowded condition of the schooi it was questionable as to how ana where the annual event would be held. It was suggested that two fairs be given instead-dividing the departments for spring ana fall and having them on one oay duration instead of three. Ihis change was also considered so that the exhibits would not be so crowded as in past years.
 Due to the fact that the change would be a drastic one 1t was agreed that all stockholders should have chance to a voice in the matter before the final decision.
 A meeting has been set TOT Thursday evening, Feb. 26 in the city hall for further discussion.

 Doing it the Eskimo way, he de- clared, it takes no more energy to stay alive in the far north than II does in Washington, D. C.
 Instead of deploring the cold, Stefansson explained, "they make use of what they have to cope with it."

9th Ward Citizens
Asked to Watch
Children's Safety

The safety of many children
playing in the Sixth Ward, is de-
pendent upon the wisdom and
caution of motorists and parents.
During the summer months,
motorists have true RESPONSE
bility, not only to obey the re-
gular traffic laws but to take
extra caution not to hit little
children who know nothing about
traffic laws. In other words, a
motorist should always drive
slowly through residential areas
and ready to stop whether there
is stop sign ornot if little
child is in the street.
Every year, children are killed
in Milwaukee streets and it isn't
because motorists disobey traf-
fic laws; it's because they don't
make the extra sacrifices neces-
sary to prevent accidents.
Parents too, have a RESPONSE
bility to teach their children
good safety rules; especially
pedestrians cross streets only at
corners and never to play in the
street.
