is no Cure for
Death

With at least IL deaths on the
highways of Ohio chalked up last
weekend, the outlook for Memoir
al Day weekend looks bleak in
deed. 1t is not too soon now to
put in a word of caution for the
benefit of beth motorists and pc
destrians.
Every holiday weekend in Amer
lea, the bell tolls for between 400
and 600 persons. The vast ma
jority who die violently do so be-
cause of someon's carelessness.
But he is a victim right along.
The National Safety Council
thru the cooperation of the Ameri-
can press before each holiday
weekend makes a special appeal
to motorists and pedestrians, par
ticularly to exercise extreme eau
ton this coming weekend. This
does not mean to be so cautious

as to be a menace. But it does
mean to observe faithfully the
traffic rules and regulations, not
only within the city but on the
highways.
1t also means to definitely NOT
mix whiskey and driving. Whis-
key is perhaps the biggest offend
er when one seeks auses Of acct
dents. Whiskey impairs the Wis
ion, it slows up the reflexes and
it places a multitude of lives in
danger.
The holiday weekend is still sew
eral days away. But the deaths
will commence to pile up Friday
and continue to the climax on
Monday. Believe us when we tell
you that in this case an ounce Of
prevention is worth a ton of cure
for there has not yet been dis
covered a cure for death.

UNITY OF NEGRO VOTERS
SEEN AS BOON T FUURE,
Renewed Fight on Regional school
Promised by Board.

New York-(SNS)- Plans for
celebrating the fortieth annivers-
airy of the National Association
for the Advancement Of Colored
People were outlined and evidence
of the increased national and glob-
noted in the report for the year
194S of Walter White, NAACP ex.
ecutive secretary, presented before
the 10th annual meeting of the
association held here today.
High in Importance in the re-
cord for 194S, according to Mr..
White, is the vital role played by
Negro voters in last years cleo
ton. Early in 194S the NAACP and
twenty other national Negro or
CARNATIONS joined in a non-par-
tisan statement of principles en-
titled Declaration of Negro Vot-
ers", which submitted to the ma
jor parties for inclusion in their
platforms and was used as a guide.
to Negro voters in judging candi-
dates.
Citing the unity of Negro voters
behind candidates supporting "a
full civil rights program as con-
tributing heavily to the election
of liberal administration and
Congress, Mr.. White indicated
that the NAACP will rally it's
total resources to secure enact
ment by the 81st congress of anti
lynching, anti-polltax and Federal
employment practices laws along
with other progressive social leg
islation," By 1850, he predncted,
there will be approximately q
100000 Negro voters in the South
VIII will be in position to help
in the election of liberal Congress-
men from the region.
Court Victories

tories fthe year, according to
the secretary's report, were the

cislon in the case of McGhee VS..
Sipes, in which restrictive hous.
ing covenants were declared legal.
ly unenforceable and the decis.
ions of Judge J. Waties Waring
of South arolina, outlawed the

State.
In the educational field. Mr..
White cited the successful cases
which won equalization of teach
ers salaries in Alabama and Louis
lana and mentioned the continu-
ing fight for equality of oppor-
tunity in higher education in k
lahoma, Texas and other Southern
states. He also noted that the
NAAP National Board of Direc-
tors is on record as firm in it's
opposition to the proposed region

and asserted that the association
will present ''implacahle opposi-
ton to the ratification of such a
