TougaIoo Choir
Back From Trip

The Tougaloo College choir is
back from five day tour, Novem-
Der 1913. The students sang to
large and appreciative audiences
in three states, a total of seven
scheduled appearances under the
auspices of local colleges, train
ing schools, high schools, and
churches. They also made several
unscheduled brief stops along the
way.
The taste of the leader, Mr..
Howard T. Pearsall, was reflected
in the high quality of the varied
repertoire, which included CLASH
cal and popular songs and some
of the less well-known spirituals.
His skill as a trainer showed in
the attack, enunciation, and vocal
control of the choir members.
Concerts were given in the fol
lowing places: Mound Bayou, Miss,
Pine Bluff, Ark, Hot Springs,
Ark. Memphis, Tenn, Oxford,
Miss, and New Albany, Miss.

TOUCHDOWN tandem, Jack Sphinx
smashed his way through the
Grambling line midway the second
quarter here Saturday Night and
gave the Braves Moral Victory
over their highly touted rivals as
he bulled forward 80 yds for a
score that proved sufficient as
Grambling was only able to tie it
seven all.
Early in the second period Tillis
intercepted grambling toss on the
Alcorn As and raced to the Gramb-
ling 40. Robert Hall, the "Missis-
sippi Flyer" flashed off right
tackle for a first down on the
Grambling 80, from which point
Giant Jack Sphinx made his ramb-
ling ride to glory Scott Jones
kicked the extra point and Alcorn
led 10.
Grambling surged back in the
same quarter and the combined eff
forts of hard running William War
rem and Johnny Christman, with a
helping 20 yd. pass by Turner was
enough to complete a sustained
drive of 60 yds. with a score. Half
time tailed Alcorn 7, Grambling 7.
Both teams threatened through
out second half play. Robert Hall,
recently dubbed "The Mississippi
Flyer" because of his great speed,
was a thorn in the visions side
all evening. Halls Tightening like
thrusts through tackle gained con-

NAACP Is Victor
In Appeal Of Va. Jim
Crow School Case

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 23.-The
Virginia State Conference of
branches Of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement Of Col
cred People this week announced
that its school facilities and OPP
portunities program was strength
ened and accelerated by a recent
opinion handed down by the United
States Court Of Appeals for the
Fourth Circuit. The appeal was
heard by Judges Parker, Soper
and Dobie.
In reversing in part a lower
court decision in an NAACP suit
charging discrimination against
Negro children in the schools of
Pulaski County, the Court of APP
peals recognized for the first time
the fact that segregation is in
valid where Negroes "are discrim-
mated against and substantially
equal educational facilities are de-
MED to them by virtue of their
race and color"
Citing the fact that Negro chill
dren must travel out of Pulaski
County to attend school Ga dis
tance farther than that travelled by
white children), that they are not
offered the same courses of study,
auditoriums or gymnasiums, or
opportunities for play and recrea-
ton as those offered white chill
dren, the Court stated: where,
as here, right guaranteed by the
Fourteenth Amendment has been
preached, we cannot concern our
selves with questions of either
mere expediency or the difficulties
which school authorities may have
in securing that constitutional
right. Whenever the forbidden
racial discrimination rears its
head, a solemn duty to strike it
down is imposed upon the Courts"
w. Lester Banks, executive sec
rotary of the Virginia State Con-
ference of the NAACP, said in an
nouncing the Courts decision that

From this corner it seems that

the most momentous impact of
the opinion strikes at the roots
Of the vicious practice of es-
tablishing regional or area schools
for the education of Negro youth,
while maintaining high schools
within each school division for
the education of white youth" Mr..
Banks stated that the NAACP sis
happy to note" that the Court had
agreed with its contention that
this policy "is an undue burden

ents and is unconstitutional and

case were Martin A. Martin, Oh

WATCH YOUR LIFTING

Spring house cleaning usually
means moving heavy objects,
lifting, STOPPING, bending, reach
ing. 1t means the use of many
muscles which have had very
little activity these past winter
months. Here are a few simple
hints to "save your back" in lift
ing or moving heavy objects
Spread your house clean
ing over a period of time, plan
wisely, don't try to do it all in
one day.
2-Never attempt to lift any
thing over 25 pounds in weight.
3-Instead of lifting, roll, push,
or walk the object, or scoot it on
a rug.
4-If you think you must lift
a heavy object, use this method.
Keep feet close to the object, use
narrow stance, feet 8 to IL inches
apart, bend the knees, crouch by
the object, lift by Strengthening
the knees and standing erect, put
ting most of the strain on the
leg muscles rather than the back
6-USe a step ladder, a strong
substantial one, instead of chair
and boxes make-shift.
