Shifts From Cotton
To Dairying; Now
Crosses $4,000

F'RANKLINON, La. - (ANP) -
The need for more milk for their
growing family got Mr.. and Mrs.
Willie E. Magee, who live near here,
out of cotton farming and into dairy
ing.
Eight years ago the Magees were
tenant farmers growing cotton and
corn and coming out in debt almost
every year. Today they own so
acres, a new home, and "a head of
dairy cattle that bring them a gross
income of about $4,000 annually.
The Grade A milk from their
grade and purebred Holsteins, Jer-
seys, and Guernseys is sold in New
Orleans. A route truck picks up 80
gallons of milk at their gate every
day. A few electric coolers keeps
the milk top quality until the truck
arrives.
Il want a herd of 40 milk cows
and about lao acres more of land"
says Mr. Magee. Then / think I'll
De in shape To see my chlluren
through school,"
1t was his desire to see that his
children get at least high school
education that partly influenced
him to shift from cotton to dairying
Cotton chopping and picking
used to keep my children out of
school part of the spring and fall, "
the 36-year-old dairyman explains.
But dairying doesn't interfere with
their education"
However, Mr.. Magee is no one
crop farmer whether it's cotton
or dairying. Aside from milk, he
sells hogs, calves, poultry, eggs, and
vegetables.
"Of course, l didn't switch from
cotton overnight" says Mr.. Magee,
1T took eight years and lot of
help from my county agent for me
to grow out of cotton and into
dairying."

Washington Boy, Is,
Mangled By Train
Wins Retrial In
Damage Suit

WASHINGTON = amp - Dom
aid A. Rice, 16-year-old boy who lost
both of his legs in train accident
four years ago, was granted a re-
trial in U. s. court of appeals in
his 100000 damages suit against
the government, here last week. The
accident occurred on November IA,
1945, and the youth spent Clio DAYS
in Galliger hospital for treatment of
injuries.
Donald's father, George Rice,
$1,900-a-year messenger in the
treasury department with a family
of 10 to support, brought suit against
the government, as operator of the
train that mangleds the boys legs

trolled st. Elizabeth's hospital
grounds. They spotted a 5O-ton
'dinky' steam engine hauling sup
plies through the grounds. They
jumped on as the engine chuffed
past and defied efforts of the engi-
neer and firemen to chase them
away.
The engineer came back to the car
and kicked att Donald, who fell
from the car and went under the
wheels" The boys right leg was
severed just below the hip, while
injuries to his left foot necessitated
amputation above the ankle.
The train crew, however, disputed
the boys version.

Court Rules Negroes
Entitled To
"Aeromechanics"
Course

ST. LOUIS - (ANP) - A prece-
dent-making decision was handed
down by Circuit Judge Robert l..
Aronson here last Wednesday when
he ordered the board of education to
either admit two brothers to the
White Hadley Technical High school
next semester or set up course in
aeromechanics at Washington Tech
for Negroes by that time. The suit
was brought by Wesley H. and Will
liam r. Brewton, brothers, to COM
pei their admission to Hedley be-
cause the course desired was not
given at Washington.
The two youths testified they had
sought admission to 'Hadley but
had been rejected because of their
race. Their contention was that the
rejection constituted a violation of
of their constitutional rights under
the 14th Amendment.
In agreeing with them, the jur-
list said the giving of a course at one
school and not at another was a
substantial inequality" He made
it clear that segregated schools were
the public policy of the state and
had never been ruled invalid by the
U. S. Supreme court. However, he
said educational opportunities Of
fered must be substantially equal.

Union was such a man, and in
the minds of many this holiday
is a memorial of what he
meant to the citizens of this
Island. He became not only a
leader of labor but also of the
community.
AS we go out on Monday to
enjoy this holiday, we enjoy
it all together. Not as members
of any single group but as
members of a nation in which
the interests of each citizen af-
fects every other.

LABOR DAY

THIS DAY that we celebrate as a holiday on Monday.
September 5, seems to have a wide set Of meanings to us. To
some it is merely the one long weekend which signalizes the
end OF the summer. To the student it means that soon again
ne will be back in strong and persistent processes of Educa-
ton. Many of us celebrate the day bylabor itself and it means
little more than the other days Of the year to us. All Of these
conceptions of the day seem to blend into something much
bigger and more important. We as a people are celebrating
our own skill and intelligence which has carried us farther to-
ward the goal of plenty and good things of life than any other
people on earth.
OF ALL OUR American holidays this one seems dedicat-
ed to one large group. There is, for example, no Farm Day,
or Business Day. This fact has been taken up by our large La
Dor unions and it has often seemed that they wanted the cele-
bration all to themselves, not that theirs is not a large share
in this celebration. But their victories and position are not due
to themselves alone, but the kind of country this nation has
been, and is today. Often we have seen and had pointed out
to us the differences between Business, Labor and the Farm
er land down to subdivisions such as whitecollar workers..
But one fact stands plainly forward, that the general opportu-
nifty to work and to advance binds them all together. That
there are inequalities Of opportunity, bred of prejudice,
by those in our country who wish to live in the past, we do not
deny. These inequalities are being done away with by legiS-
lation, and by public opinion that cuts across all groups. The
same sort of understanding of oneness has gotten Labor, as
a group, the rights it now enjoys. A fine example is the type
of Labor machinery we have today. On a recent Wage and
Hour Board there were two representatives each for the pub
lie, Labor and Employer. The first groups participation signi-
flies both the interest of and the protection for the general
community. We have seen that public and labor in
terestS are often welded into one. A leader OF labor
can make his mark as a great community leader also. The late
Judge D. Hamilton Jackson who founded the St. Croix Labor

Negro Emancipation
Belongs To virginia's
Past Says Writer
By CARTER JEWELL

BOYDTON, Va, April 23.-
(ANP)-Few localities in Virginia
pay attention to any of the days
with emancipation celebration
dates-but still one or two have
gay festivities.
For over SO years after the fall
of Richmond on April 3, 1865,
Negroes in that section of the
state religiously observed April 3
annually with a grand parade,
church services and much speech
making.
Secret fraternal orders have al
ways played a big role in these
celebrations in cities and rural
communities and the parade
groups have started drum prac-
tice for the celebration three or
four weeks ahead of time. Those
days were times of great jubilee
which had features very much
like a country carnival and day
of festival.
Up near Appomattox, Va,
where General Lee surrendered to
General Grant of the Union fore
es on April 8, 1865, the people
celebrated April 9 as emancipa-
ton day. The "high-brow" Ne
groes early took to observing Jan.
1 as emancipation day and in a
few localities Sept. %.
Boydton witnessed an emanci-
patton celebration similar to the
good old days on April 9, too.
About 1000 people came out for
Il e affair. There was a parade
around the courthouse, speechmak-
inr including a main address by
Dr.. Luther p. Jackson, profess
sor of history at Virginia State
college and a great feast of
g,od things to eat.
DR.. Jackson told the assembled
throng that because of the "grow-

Navy May Further Strengthen The Pacific Fleet
tBY Max BoYd)

WASHINGTON, (P)-The navy disclosed yesterday that it is con sidering a further strengthening of the Pacific fleet.
 This would be in addition to the recently ordered shift of two cruisers, the Juneau and the Ro- chester. from the Atlantic to the West Coast. It follows published reports that another carrier and a number of submarines are due to make similar shifts.
 Replying to a reporters ques- ton as to whether the navy plans any further strengthening of its Pacific forces in addition to the announced cruiser transfers. spokesman said:
 This problem is under consid- eration-subject, of course, to in ternal and external conditions"
 The spokesman did not specify the conditions that will affect the navy's decision.
 Obviously, one important inter nal factor will be the amount of money the service has for ship op- erationS.
 And externally, an important element is bound to be the con- flict that thus far has put com munists in command of virtually all of China's ports, except British controlled Hong Kong, and driven the Chinese Nationalists to the is land of FormoSa.
 During and since World War II, the Chinese Nationalists acquired a considerable number of light na- val vessels.
