TEACHERS SIT IN SILENCE AS GOVERNOR SPEAKS
WhirIwind Drive To End Co|ored
Division Red Cross Fund Campaign
Lanier High School Student To Serve
AS Special Solicitors
Advocate Editor Heads Drive

A whirlwind drive of one week
beginning Sunday, will be conduct
ed under the general direction OF
Percy Greene, editor and publish
eF of The Jackson Advocate, to
bring to successful conclusion
the work of the Colored Division
of the 1949 Kinds County Red
Cross campaign.
Editor Greene was asked to take
charge of the remaining part of
the campaign by Mr.. H. Palmer
Webb, of the Central Paper Com
pany, as a relief for Rev. Cleve-
land O'BannOn, who found it i'm
possible to carrying on the duties
of director of the colored division.
Editor Greene said this is in
fact an emergency campaign.
With only a total of $500 in
hand and the campaign period all
but over, l think everyone will
agree on the existence of a grave
emergency, with things happen
ing as they are-tornadoes,
storms, floods and other disasters
leaving Negroes in need of help
with other peoples, given only by
the Red Cross-the need to bring
the campaign to successful con-
clusion can be easily seen.
Editor Greene said every bust
ness firm, every Individual bust
ness man and woman, is being
asked to make an immediate and
substantial contribution to the
campaign. Business firms and
others who are not contacted by
a solicitor are asked to send their
donations to the office of the Jack
son Advocate before Saturday OF
next week.
Editor Greene said the wnirl-
wind drive will start Sunday wher
a group of business men and wo-
men yho have volunteered will
each visit a local church and speak
in behalf of the Red Cross, anC
raise a special offering Letters
have been sent to each pastor il
the city soliciting their help and
cooperation.
On Tuesday following a select
group of senior high school stud.
ents will make a house-to-house
campaign.
The editor said that he hoped
everyone would recognize theil
own individual and personal re.
sponsibility in the matter SO thai
the amount raised would be cred.
it to the Negro citizens of the
city.

the most part his famous early

after proclaiming the states

Speaking from a prepared text.
the governor asserted chat perm
anent segregation was the only
hope of the Southern Negro; re-

of the Presidents committee on
Civil Rights, and the Truman's
Civil Rights program; renewed
his charge against outside inter

Negro rights which he referred to
as certain decisions of a New

text on two important occasions.
First, during his attack ION the
Truman Civil Rights Program.
when he said that he was still of
the opinion expressed in the ear

Negroes, that it would be best for
all Negroes not satisfied with
Civil Rights as they now exist in
Mississippi, to leave the state.
Second, when obviously affected
by the silent reaction of his au-
dience, he referred to the fact
that in his early morning radio
address, he had been accused of
using the word Niger" fiftv-
seven times. Evidently uncon-
scious of the way he had been
pronouncing the word during his
speech, he asserted that he never
used the word niger but always
said Negro, which he pronounced
perfectly and with great distincy

was broken with brief laughter

We feel that officers have been too
lenient with mob. Since mob leaders
are known, we again urge that they
be arrested and vigorously prosecut-
ed for the damage done to innocent
Negro citizens of Lake and Polk

dent of the State, Conference, also
has been in touch with State Off

action.
In explaining the position of the
NAACP in this case, State Con-
ference officials have made it clear
that the organization does not con-
done crime committed by anyone,
whether White or Black. Whoever
is guilty of the attack on the White
couple should be punished. On the
other hand, NAACP officials en-

Nineteen hundred and forty-elght
"A sac and lonely day tor us
Wen mere forget the date.
1t seems like only yesterday
AItnOugn year mas gone,
Since mat sad and dreary morn

God called our loved one home.
A year so short-and yet SO long
but heartaches linger still,
AS our memories often wander
70 the grave upon the hill.
Where our loved one sleeps SO
peacefully
Beneath the lonely mound;
But beyond the grave her soul
has gone
And eternal life has found.
Her burdens have been lifted,
Her earthly cares are DER;
Her life is filled with sunshine
And pain she'll feel no more.
Words can't express the pain we
felt
For the one we loved so dear,
Whose loving smiles we'll see no
more,
Whose voice We'll no more hear.
Oh how we miss Or wife and
mother!
Who forever now has gone;
But through the lonely years to
come,
Her memory will live ON.
May our Savior guide our foot

To Heavens blissful shore,
Where our loved one waits to
join us
When our journey here is DER.
